CIVILAN FLIERS. HAVE GOOD YEAR Mo British Commercial Aviators Killed By KEITH JONES (United Press Staff Correspondent) London, May 26 (UP)—Contrast- ing with England’s military aviation role of 82 fiyers killed in air crashes, | in 1926, the record of the progress of civil aviation from April to Decem- ber, just published by the air min- istry, shows that the Imperial Air- ways, Ltd., during this period car- ried 16,775 passengers and flew 732,- 480 miles without the death of a single passenger or airman. In addition 46,000 miles flown on special flights also without any deaths or injuries. Thus for the second year British civil aircraft had completed their work without any accidents resulting in death or injury. Up to date the Imperfal Airwa Ltd., have flown 5,271,000 miles with the deaths of only four passengers There were however two serious ac. cidents to French aircraft flving on the London-Paris route. The most noticeable tendency in British aircraft construction, the re port notes, is the increase in the en- gine power available per passenger in the alrplanes. This increase in horsepower, however, has been brought about simultaneously with a decrease in the welght per horse- power of the engines, and as a con- sequence passengers are given the extra measure of safety that comes from a reserve engine power for use in emergencies. At the same time a reserve engine power enables ma- chines te be flown on their normal schedules without taxing the capacity of the engine to its utmost, thus making for greater reeliability in en- gine performance. The report also recounts British accomplishments in aerlal surveys in Africa, and in the use of airplanes in spraying crops with insecticide.

San Francisco, May 26 (# — In- 4ications that the Pacific ocean next will be challenged by long distance aviators seeking gold and glory ap- peared more in evidence today as two money offers for trans-oceanic flights were dangled before all air adventurers who care to chance. Close upon an announcement in Honolulu yesterday by James D. Dole, president of the Hawailan le company. that he would $35,000 to the first two aviators to fly from the North American coast to Honolulu, came word from Los Angeles that Sid Grauman, wealthy follywood theater owner, offered $30,000 for a non-stop flight from Los Angeles to Tokyo. While the Dole flight proposal of- fars a stretch of water nearly 400 Wles longer than the distance from wtoundland to Ireland as covered Captain Charles A. Lindbergh on his New York-Paris dash the Los Angeles-Tokyo project would call for a flight of 5,000 miles. Grauman declared he had been ad- vised by Donald Douglas, head of ti Douglas Aircraft corporation, that a 5,000 mile hop was entirely feasible, and had accordingly provided for the prize on that basis, instead of making it a two flight matter—Los Angeles to Honolulu and Honolulu to Tokyo. | Arrangements for the Pacific coast-Honolulu flight got under way in the islands forthwith when the Honolulu chapter of the National Aeronautic association took charge of | the detalls at that end.

Although the president is awaiting another inspection to make sure that the Black Hills site 1s suitable, White House attaches are proceeding in this investigation with the double purpase of making arrangements at the same time. One of the main problems econ- fronting the workers is the location of offices for Mr. Coolidge. He would stay at the State Gate Lodge, which has been offered by the state and which is about a dozen miles from the nearest railroad point and 32 miles from Rapid City, the near- | est town, with a popuiation o\\‘er,‘Jécob Kaplan, 4 siderably. ’mpd today in probate court. 1,000.
