NEW DANGER SEEN INGENEVA ACTION Some Fear U, S-Jap Feeling ~ May Be Aroused Geneva, Switzerland, June 29 M— A new danger is seen by close ob- servers of the “Coolidge conference,” as the tri-partite naval limitation parley has become known colloquial- ly, in the fact that political animos- ities may be engendered by Japan's: support of the British demand for re-examining the Washington naval accord. - The Americans are adamant in their decision not to resurrect de- cisions reached at Washington at the 1922 conference as regards capital | __ships, for they look upon the Wash- ington tréaty as not merely an ar- rangement to limit capital warships, but as an instrument whereby a new era of peace on the Pacific ocean was {naugurated. In American circles it is recalled that at that con- ference the United States consented to the maintenance of the status quo of American fortifications at Guam and in the Philippines, while: Japan agreed to a ratio in battleships con- siderably below that of the United States. Rediscussing what was settled at Washington might arouse a new and undesirable examination of the poli- tical situation, it is feared, and the question might be raised about the . wisdom of increasing the strength of the American bases at Guam and in the Philippines. Some obscrvers hold the opinion that the Japanese are flirting with both the British and American dele- gations. Others maintain that the Japanese really see in the British plan a means of curtailing expenses, while still otbers contend that Japan aincerely desirous of.preventing ‘a rupture of the negotlations, is seek- ing to force a compromise between the divergent British and American .viewpoints. g The conference began work totlay through its technical committee, on the question of destrover limitation. The British .proposal, offered to the committee yesterday, that cruis- ers be divided into two classes, one of 10,000 tons, with 8-inch guns and { ago was in the state. But these men, the other of 7,500 tons, with 6-inch guns, finds the American represen- tatives non-commital, which s in- terpreted as meaning they are un- favorably. disposed toward it. The Japanese, though indicating they might be willing to reduce the num- ber and size of crujsers in years to come manifested reluctance to de- scend from cight to six inch guns. Arid statistical labors have been lightened by the Japanese dare to the American delegates and corres- pondents to meet them on the base- ball field on July 4. The athletic sons of Nippon announcgd last night that they were challenging the Brit- ish to a game of soccer football on the local grounds and that they would challenge both the American and Dritish delegations to a rowing race on Lake Leman.

I, N. Y., June 29 (UP)—For the first time in his- tory millions of persons were able today to keep in close contact with trans-oceanic fiyers by means of radio. Milllons of persons in all parts of the United States and Europe were recelving bulletins coming from Commander Byrd, and reports of his progress relayed from ships and shore stations. Wives of the fiiers at the Garden City Hotel recelyed the bulletins a few seconds after they came into the radio cupola of the hotel. MNra. George O. Noville, wife of the flight engineer and radio operator of the America, and Mrs. Bert Acosta, wife of the pilot, breakfasted together at the Garden City Hotel and received word of cheer from their husbands As the America traveled north- east its radio sent out almost the continuous call WI'W to show that all was well. It also sent out bulle- tins at intervals to appraise officlals of the American Trans-Oceanic Com- pany of its progress. These bulle- tins were flashed over United Preas wires from the hangar to readers throughout the world. “Why really now, it seems hard to realize that the men actually are gone from us,” said Grover Whalen, atter reading one of the bulletins at the hangar. “Such a short time they stood near us, and now we hear from them every few minutes, we scarce- ly can appreciate the fact that they | are flying through the clouds hun-| dreds of miles 3 Milford Auto Victim® Not Really Identified Milford, Conn., June 29.—P— The Negro's body which is here, the man having been killed by an auto- mobile in Orange early Monday morning, remains. - unidentified.

The American schoolboy crew was thus eliminated from the challenge cup competition.

The day that will see such planes, or any others, in regular service across the Atlantic, however, he writes in an article to be published in Popular Science Monthly on July 2, is not any near tomorrow but will probably be" years hence. “It will be some 20 years in my opinion,” the article reads, “before regular commercial trans-Atlantic air servige is established.” . No average passenger, he said, could stand the nerve and body strain of more than 30 hours aloft in pres- ent day planes. “It is common,” his article con- tinues, “for passengers on the Paris- London route to arrive with green faces from air sickness due to the plane’s heaving about over the chan- nel. As with steamers, the relief for this misery will lie in larger and larger planes. “Much will have to be done in the way of personal service. Meals can be served and naps taken, but in the day and & half crossing the passen- ger will have to be warmed and fed and entertained If his patronage is to be kept. “The Germans, in particular, have gone well-ahead with the design of “They are_build- ing a machine that utilizies the wing This means a wing six to 10 feet thick. At first thought such a condition would seem detrimental because of wing resistance. But it is the vac- uum above a wing rather than the push of air under it that stands for lifting power. Therefore a deep wing front is really beneficial. The trans-Atlantic plane of 1960 may have wings thick enough for tiers of cabin and stowage spaces.” Before regular ocean air lines can become an actuality, Byrd writes, an international weather forecasting senvice covering flying ‘altitude con- ditions over the Atlantic as thor- oughly as land conditions are now covered must be established; float- ing landing flelds must be bullt at intervals across the oct and giant planes must be developed which will be seaworthy if forced down and at the same time commodious and com- forable enough to attract patronage. “Our governmental weather bu- reaz has made a science out of weather prediction for this country,” he continues. “But we know rela- tively little about weather conditions over the ocean. “Vessels in passage regularly sub- mit their meteorological data to our navy hydrographic office, but this is far from enough on which to base commercial flying. Such reports are based only on spasmodic observa- tions taken at sea level. Depth of fog, height of wind disturbances, thickness of cloud formations and the like have never been gathered. “If ocean flying is to be practica- e —— fourth man was made so late that | morrow.

There also will have to be fast patrol craft to act as lightships and rescue units.” Ot the two previous trans-Atlantic flights this year Commander Byrd says that “all of us who look for- ‘ward to ocean flying in the future” have examined every detail of the| weather records Lindbergh and Chamberlin brought down with them, “for theirs is the first com- plete list of conditions obtained over the Paris-New York route within a limited period of time." STABILIZATION DEVICE German Inventor Claims to Have Perfected Equipment That May Prevent Many Plane Crashes. Berlin, June 29 (M—A stabiliza- tion device by which it is claimed the number of airplane accidents would be greatly reduced is now be- ing tested at two airdromes in this vicinity, The device consists of a number of ‘“stabilization planes,” which when not in use are kept parallel to the wing. In case of danger a lever can be turned where- by these planes are brought into a position at an oblique angle to the wing, when, it is claimed, the alr- plane will immediately resume its normal horizontal position. The device was constructed by Hans Hocke, an Austrian professor and has been examined by Professor Junkers, who is reported to have said: “This is an egg of the Colum- bia,” referring to the great interest in aviation aroused by the trans-At- l\ntlc flight of Clarence D.

ELN GITY COPS IN BOLZE HAL Gapture Four Men and Quantity of Liquor New Haven, June 29.—(P—Hold- ing at revolver point for some time four alleged bootleggers, two patrol- men early today seized 1,500 gallons of alleged grain alcohol, several cases of bottled beers, two motor trucks and some fire arms. The four men were arrested upon arrival of a special police detail. Officers C. M. Gill and George Suba noticed the trucks driving up to a garage which had been under watch for several days and held up the four men accompanying the cars until rellef came. The men ar- rested gave their names as' Camile Venezia, 35, of Huntington and Bridgeport; Lawrence Hartman and James A. Holmes of West Haven; and Joseph Morcaldi of Bridgeport. All four are held on charges of possessing and transporting, and ad- ditional charges of possession of concealed weapons were placed against Morcaldi. i A fifth man and two passenger aytomobiles, sdid to have been used in the business, are being sought. The ownership of the garage at which the seizure was made has not been definitely established. Suba and Gill were the men who recently discovered a large brewery in the Hill district EMERGENCY MEASURE Byrd's Message To Stand By While He Pumped Gasoline Indicates, Trouble With Compass. Roosevelt Field, N. Y., June 29 (8 —Informed by the Associated Press at 9:50 a. m. today that Commander Richard E. Byrd had wirelessed from the America the request for all stations to stand by, while he “pumped” gas, Grover A. Whalen, vice-president of the company back- ing Byrd's flight to Paris, explained a pre-arranged plan to meet the emergency which has developed in the difficulty with the America’s compass, The Associated Press message means that Commander Byrd is emptying into his main gas tanks the gasoline he carried along in 27 extra five gallon tins. This pumping is being done by hand, and the cans, which Commander Byrd reported were interfering with the compasses will be dumped overboard. While this pumping is going on, there would be a serious menace of fire if Lieut. Noville attempted to send wireless messages. I think it will require an hour or more to complete this pumping. During that time, we shall probably not receive messages from the America. However, the plane's automatic call, W T W, will be sent out. % ENTERS BIG LEAGUE Chicago, June 28 (M—Eddie Gra- boski, .685 hitting shortstop of Lane Tech, Chicago High school league champions, signed today with the| St. Louis Cardinals.

Paris, June 29 (P—Inquisitive Americans, with their questions as to her operatic plans and their talk of scandal and divorce, haye ruined New York for Ganna Walska, the diva told the Associated Press today in the first interview she has given in many a day. Paris now has all her affection, she declared. Although she once preferred New York to other cities because “it has the best music in the world.” Mme, Walska desires once for all to lay the ghost of her rumored plans to divorce Harold McCormick. “You can’t talk about what isnt's” she remarked. ‘‘There is no ques- tion of divorce and it is silly for people to keep talking to me about divorce.” Mr. McCormick, she added, will join her in Paris this autumn, com- ing to Paris from Californja. He will accompany her back to the United States, where she expects to sing this winter. Flags to Be Presented To President of France Roosevelt Field, N.

One is a silk flag, made by the great-great-grandniece of Betsy Ross, and incorporated in it are pieces of original American flag made by Betsy Ross. Other is silk flag that was carried over the North Pole by Commander Byrd {n 1526. In the package to be presented to President Doumergue is also a copy of the smallest Bible in the world, and a letter concerning the Betsy Ross flag.

READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS WANARAKER LONG AVIATION DEVOTEE Today Ends Thirteen Years of Preparatory Work New York, June 39 UP—Behind the flight of the America that began today are thirteen years of plan- ning. Rodman Wanamaker, wealthy merchant, in whose mind the idea of a trans-Atlantic non-stop flight first took shape, founded the Ameri- can Trans-Oceanic Co., backers of the flight, in 1914. But the idea never included plans for a race across the sea, nor competition of any sort. The first postponement came when war broke out. But in 1916 Wana- maker was still busy with his idea, for in that year he incorporated his company. In 1914 a Curtiss plane was con- structéd for the flight. Lieutenant John Cyril Forte was selected as pilot. The plane was turned over to the government during the war, After the armistics plans for the flight were definitely resumed, with | the jdea still being to demonstrate ithe feasibility of a trans-Atlantic flight and to promote international good will and peace. When the plan was made public in 1918, construc- tion of a plane already was under way at the factory of the Atlantic Afrcraft Corporation in Hasbrouck Heights, N. J., in making his 1918 announcement, Mr. Wanamaker said. *The crossing of the Atlantic by air is not a matter merely of initia- tive, nor daring, nor even skill; it is {a problem of science. Much will‘be learned on the trip of flying condi- tions at sea: meterological data will be gathered and it is probable that it would be the firat step in a system of gathering such information as to make air navigation safe from weather conditions.” With further knowledge of this kind, and the building of, large air- planes, it will be possible to predict regular trans-Atlantic air crossings in a reasonably short time.” ¥ After thigy announcement, the hangars at Roosevelt fleld were ac- quired and the Fokker plane Ameri- ca was completed.
