meet for amateur aviatorS, with pos
sibly two or more professionals on hand
to give exhibitions, will probably be given
at College Park, Md, the week of Octo-
Der 10. The matter at present hinges
upon the ability of the National Aviation
Company. represented by J. Lynn Yeagle
and Capt. Charles J. Fox, to get together
with the amateur aviators Of the District
who represent the Aero Scientific Club OF
Washington.
If working basis can be reached,
weherby a meet of this kind can be run
off, James F. Oyster, chairman of the
executive committee Of the Chamber Of
Commerce, will call his committee to-
gether to receive the proposition. If 1t
meets the approval of the executive COM
mittee it will likely get the Endorsement
of the Chamber of Commerce.
Independent Of the Clubs.
1t is understood that an attempt will be
made to make the meet Independent of
either the Aero Club of America or the
Aeronautical Federation of America The
two organizations are at swords points,
and if the sanction of either was sought
and obtained for the proposed exhibition
it would be impossible for the amateur
birdmen of the District. members of the
Aero. Scientific Club and others who
either are affiliated with the Aero Club
of Washington or seek an af6liation, to
reach an agreement. 1t is planned, there
fore. to seek first the Endorsement of the
Chamber of Commerce and then for the
appointment of a committee of responsible
business men to supervise the financial
part Of the affair.
If the two parties interested fnd it i'm
possible to get together on this basis. the
Aero Scientific Club of Washington will
go ahead with it's own plans for an
sanction of the Aeronautical Federation
of America, the privilege for such an
event having already been obtained.
Meeting Of Joint Committee.
The joint committee representing the
Aero Club of Washington. the Chamber
OF Commerce and Board Of Trade. met at
noon in the offices of the Aero Club of
Washington in the Union Trust building
to hear the propositions of the National
Aviation Company and the Aero Scientific
Club Of Washington for q meet here this
fall.
AS soon as 1t became evident that the
approval OF the Aero Club Of Washing
ton was sought for an exhibition in
which the Aero Scientific Club OF
Washington was to take prominent
part. Charles j. Bell, treasurer OF the
Aero Club OF Washington, explained
that in view Of the fact that his club
was affiliated with the Aero Club Of
America it would be impossible for
the Aero Club Of Washington to have
any part in the proposed meet.
The joint committee. therefore, de-
clared that it could not take up the
proposition submitted by the National
Aviation Company and the Aero scien-
tifc Club.
The matter was discussed at length
by Mr.. Bell, Capt. Oyster. J. Leftwich
Sinclair, Or. Albert F. Zahn and Messrs.
Fox. Yeagie and E. H. Young, president
Of the Aero Scientific Club, and the de-
cision was reached that an attempt
should be made for the two factions to
agree on another basis and submit their
proposition to the Chamber of Commerce
for its approval This attempt will be
made today. and it is likely that the plan
will be submitted to the executive COM
mittee Of the Chamber OF Commerce
Monday.

The National Aviation Company is in

OF aviation at College Park, and will do
