WARRINGTON, Aug. 2i.-Tests or tho
first OF the standardized United States
airplane motors designed and built
under direction OF the Aircraft Produc-

that American made fighting machines

Persons about the DUPONT Building

that was going the rounds.
The report was to the effect that
John J. Raskob, treasurer Of Z. l. du-
Pont de Nemours and Company. in
tended to establish a school OF ayia-
ton on his estate at ClaymOnt as an
aid 10 the Army and Navy Depart

These rumors credited Mr.. Raskob
with the intention of purchasing sew
eral hydrOaerOplanes and airplanes, TO
be quartered on one OF the large and
level fields OF his ClaymOnt property,
and also Il was reported he cOntem-
plated having several young men
trained as av.ators and mechanicians
under expert instructors. Mr.. Ras-
kob was to bear the expense of all
this. il was reported, and when the
aviators are properly trained would
offer the machines and the services of
lQelI operators 10 buc buNti hiAANht.
Efforts to get into touch with Mr..
Raskob 10 obtain confirmation or de-
NAL of the reports were unavailing, il
being stated at his Office that he would
not return until late today, and no in
formation would be given as to where
he could be communicated with.
Wallace Talbot, of New York, was
in Wilmington last week endeavoring
to interest the executive committee
of the National Defense Committee OF
Wilmington and also some wealthy
residents OF this city in the establish
ment Of school of aviation near this
city. He made a formal PROPOSE
ton to the Defense Committee for
the establishment of such a school,
but whether he interested Mr.. Raskob
