ARPLANEMAKERS
OFNA HONCALLED
TO CONFER HERE

Greater rapidity in aeroplane pro-
duction in the United States is neces-
sary. 1t was learned today that this
is the real motive for the call for a
conference, beginning Sunday, of all
aeroplane manufacturers in the Uni
ted States.
Invitations to every manufacturer
making any part OF an aeroplane have
been sent out broadcast by the Air
craft Production Board and the So
ciety of AutomotiYe Engineers. Toe
conference will open Sunday and will
hold over until Monday night, II not
longer.

Standardization OF aeroplane parts
is to be discussed. This y given as
the reason for the conference, but
the Aircraft Production Board will
take steps to speed up Americas air
craft output. Prominent makers Of
airplanes will be called upon to solve
questions, which seem likely to deter
the program undertaken by the air
crEt board.

COLLEGE DEBATERS
PLANNING PROGRAM

Debates with Eastern and Northern
universities will be arranged by the
four debating societies at Georgetown
University this session, according to
announcement by the faculty today.
Preliminary meetings have been
held in Castor Hall to arrange for
schedules for the fall and winter.
The PhiIodemic Society, of which the
Rev. John ]. Toohey is moderator,
will probably meet debating teams
from Lehigh University, Lafayette.
and Pennsylvania State College. its
opponents of last season. The CASTOR
Society. under the leadership this
year Of the Rev. C. L. Bulman, will
debate with teams from other schools.
and also with the White Society, of
which the Rev. Peter H. Masterson
is director.
The Rev. Arthur ]. Sheehan will
direct the affairs Of the Philonomo-
sian Debating Society this term. It's
debating schedule will probably call
for debates with Pennsylvania State
College. LehiEh. and Lafayette. Of
,hcers of the four organizations will
be chosen next week.

present owing to the great degree OF
difference in designs, is hardly pos
sible. However, steps have already
been taken to standardiLe accessories
and equipment, and II is the hope OF
aircraft producers that before many
months there will be a single type OF
battle plane in the allied aerial squad
rons.
Extends to UnifOrms-
American officials are even pursu-
ing the standardized idea to the uni
forms and clothing to be worn by
American aviators. No flying uniform
has yet been adopted, but numerous
ones have been submitted.
1t is probable that yellow leather,
sheepskin lined, uniforms will be
adopted. A standard type OF headgear,
once in use in football, has been IA
vorably acted upon by the aircraft
board and the supply committee of the
Council OF National Defense.
Sundays conference will be mo-
mentous, because IL will be the first
meeting OF all leaders in aeroplane
construction In the United States. Ad-
dresses will be made by men high In
the science OF navigating in the air.

SWEEPING CUT IN OCEAN
FREIGHT RATES POSTED
Shipping Board Believes Govern
ment VIII Save Millions.

Sweeping reductions in ocean
freight rates, amounting in some
cases to 70 or so per cent, were posted
yesterday by the United States ship
ping board. The new schedule is ap-
pIicable to all tonnage requisitioned
by the Government for ocean service
above $500 tons dead weight carry
ing capacity.
They will become effective October
ID. The Government is expected to
save millions of dollars in transport
ing troops to Europe as a result Of
the new rate schedule, which was
adopted on recommendation of Balm
bridge Colby, whose inquiry into car
EyinE charges and expense had been
under way for some time.
While the vessels will be requisi-
Sioned by the Government, they will
remain in the hands of the present
owners, but must be ready at all
times to carry out the orders of the
shipping board.

Five hundred and thirty thousand

has already been subscribed, accord
ing to reports received at national

assurance. according to those in
charge of the campaign, that the

Numbers OF towns and cities have
given more than their quotas. Grants
Pass. Greg, was the first one to give
more than it was asked. Millbrook,
little town in New York. which was
asked to give $40. responded with
over a thousand dollars, more than six
times its share. Hagerstown, Md, of
about 10000 population, gave 1000,
Managers OF the local campaign re-
port that contributions are increasing
daily in Washington, but that the
city is yet behind with its share of
the fund. Despite the fact that
Washington got a slow start. how
ever, II Is not expected that the city
will fall short Of the $4,000 mark set
for It.
Those who cannot make contribu-
lions in person are requested to mail
checks to the local headquarters, at
the PUBIC Library.
Fourteen checks for 500 each have
been sent to local headquarters by
the following: Charles Henry Butler,

In addition to the house-to-house
dollar campaign which is now run
ming, another campaign will be start
ed in which letters asking for dona-
lions of $26, $50, and 800 will be
sent to men and women OF the city, in
an effort to obtain the $50 900 which

ALIEN SUSPECTS
CASES TO Be HEARD
WYORK TODAY

NEW YORK, Sept. 2s.-Oficials OF
the Department of Justice prepared
today TO review the cases OF each of
the ninety-six enemy aliens caught in
the Federal raids late Wednesday
night and now interned on Ellis
Island.
The regulations provide that the
aliens must be kept in custody two
weeks, and IL it is then decided they
are to continue in detention they will
be transferred to one of the detention
camps.
If released they must cease work in
Government munition plants, where
they would be in a position to learn
Government secrets.
From the standpoint of Government
officials, the raids are having the de-
sired effect among enemy aliens.
Hundreds Of Germans are hourly re-
porting to the offices of the United
States marshal in quest Of permits to
70 within the restricted zones.
All such requests have been refused,
the Government merely warning the
applicants to keep clear Of the re-
stricted zones.
