DUE IN HOME STATE TODAY Connecticut Senator Convinced Army And Navy Should Maintain Scpa- rate Aviation Organizations And Will Present Views to Congress. BY GEORGE H. MANNING (Washingtoh Bureau of N, B. Herald.) Washington, D. C, June 4.—Sen- ator Hiram Bingham of Connecticut made a flylng vieit of the real kind to Washington today. He flew in aboard a navy seaplane from Hamp- ton Roads and flew out in a navy land plane for Bethany, Conn., where he is scheduled to land at 4:30 this afternoon, standard time, Last month Senator Bingham made a tour of inspection of the army flying flelds at Dayton, Chica- g0, San Diego and other points in | the west in search of information for his guidance in dealing with army alr service legislation which will come before the senate military committee of which he is a member next congress session. While at the White House about two weeks ago Senator Bingham met Becretary of the Navy Wilbyr who invited the Connecticut senator to make a tour of inspection of the navy air bases. Secretary Wilbur urged Benator Bingham to make the trip at his convenience, stating that he would be pleased to furnish the transportation. Flew to Washington Monday Senator Binghamn accepted the in- vitation and started on the trip last Monday morning from New Haven on one,of two airplanes sent there | by Secretary Wilbur, They flew from New Haven to Philadelphia where the navy has a large flying establishment and builds a number of airships. Senator Bingham and his com- panions reached Philadelphia from New Haven shortly after noon Mon- day and the senator made a thor- ough survey of the navy's aviation project there. Late Monday afternoon Senator Bingham “hopped oft” from Phila- delphia in another navy plane for Lakehurst, N. J., where the navy has its dirigible headquarters and where 1s located the home port of the giant dirigible, Los Angeles. There he was met my Captain Bteele, the commandant of the Lake- hurst station. ! Likes Dirigible Flying "“There was a rather heavy wind blowing that afternoon and the Los Angeles was not taken out of Her hangar until about 11 o'clock that night,” said Senator Bingham today in telling of his experience. *1 learned a great deal about the diri- gibles at Lakehurst. ! saw the Los | Angeles taken out of the hangar at night, but with Ilight conditions al- most equal to those in daytime, T learned of the possibilities of the di rigihles, what can be done with them and what can't, I went aboard the l.os Angeles at midnight after she was tied up to the big mooring mast and spent the night aboard. “The next morning the l.os An- geles sailed for Annapolis and tied | up to the mast of the Patoaka about 1 o'clock.

Only one other American expedition has ever ob- talned it. There are only a few| mounted specimens in existence in the world,” New York, June 4. (AP)—Only one living specimen of the Okapl, & rare animal inhabiting the Belgian Congo jungles, has ever lived to reach Europe, said Dr. W. T. Horna- day, director of the Bronx zoo. This Okapi was exhibited in the | Antwerp zoo in 1021, but survived only slx weeks of confinement. Dr. Hornaday sald. No white man has ever been able to shoot one, and those that have been trapped were caught in pits 7 ith the help of na-| tives. | The Okapl is a nondescript animal comprising a family group by itself. The nearest relative is a giraffe, It is found in the dense jungles of the Semliki forest in the extreme east- ern portion of the Belgian Congo, The adult Okapi resists capture until | death, Dr. Hornaday said. TALESKI ELIMINATED IN MARBLE TOURNEY England Champion- ship Goes to Boy From Springfield, Mass. | By JAMES J. BUTLER (Of the New Britain Herald Staff) Atlantic City, June 4.-—"Dutch” Robbins of Springficld, Mass,, is the marble champion of New England. He clinched the title yesterday when he finished at the top of the New | England division with a record of 15 | victories and § defeats, after making a surprising j'come back” from far down in the division standing. Alexander Zaleski of New Britaln, Conn., finished seventh, Hard luck continued to pursue him in his| games against Eddie Welch of Law- | rence, Mass., and James Holloway of | Hartford, Conn. He took one game from each yesterday. As has been | the case in all but three of the 21 gamés in which he played, the New | Dritatn champion landed six marbles | in each of his games against the | Lawrence and Hartford representa- | tives but in four games he failed to | land the seventh and decidiz ol Robbins clashes today with Jnmvs Cambas of Younszstown, O., ti champion of his diviston. Cambas | has won 20 out of the 21 games played and s considered to shoot a wicked “mig." The final standing in the New Eng- land division follows: | Springfleld won 15, lost 6, per- aviation branch and all other activi- ties.” i Life One Plane After Another “I spent Wednesday at Hampton,| Toads flying about the base and in- specting the land establishment, | Yesterday afterncon [ boarded an- other navy seaplane and flew to | Washington, arriving at the navy | | eir base at Anacostia field just be- | fore dark last night. “Commander Rartiett, a Connecti- eut man and one of the navy’s old- est and best fiyers, was the pilot of | the plane that brought me up to| Washington from Hampton Roads.

This 's the question over which there was such spirited cputroversy befora congress at the last session, when General Mitchell appeared a number of times befere | committees of congress and opposed the position taken by Secretary of War Weeks and of both the army and stood for separate air services for | the two military branches.
