Surplus Air Material
To Be Sold by u. S. to
Private AviatOrs Soon
Nequ YorH Tribune
W0ebiuOfOn Bureou

WASHINGTON. April 2.-Despite
some minor sales and the fact that
inquiries regarding the disposition Of
aeronautical equipment have been in
vited, the army air service has not
yet, with minor exceptions, made any
sales of the surplus engines, airplpnes
and aeronautical supplies it has on
hand. However, a selling programme
has been determined upon and it is
expected formal announcement of it
will be made within day or two.
The air service, in view of its rapid
shrlnkage to a peace basis, is as much
troubled with plethora of equip
ment as it was with too little a year
ago. AS production did not cease en-
tlrely the day the armisticc was
the air service has been swamped with
the flood of production which, al
though it had not reached it's maxi
mum, was running deep and strong
when hostilities ceased. In October
the planes were pouring out of the
factories at the rate of moro than
fifty day, and of the motors the
Liberty alone was coming forth at the
rate of 130 a day. The entire motor
production was proceeding at a rate
greater than that of the French ar
British output combined.
The machines and motors that will
be offered for sale now are largely of
the training types or have seen some
kind OF use. 1t is understood the Lib
erty motors probably will not be Of
tered now for general sale, although
some OF them will be parted with for
special uses and where their sale will
tend to promote the development of
aviation. Some 10000 CELEBRITIES" were
completed before the plants making
them shut down, and about half .of
them are still in this country.
Air service equipment sales up to
l.. w. L. planes and big store of
dogskins used in aviators' flying cloth
ing, have been confined to materials
OF which about $42 100000 worth have
been sold.
The. suspensions and cancellations
following the armistice amounted to
S481,00O, 600, of which the chief items
were $250,000,000 on engines and snare
parts and S168.000,000 on airplancs and
spares.
1t is expected the sale Of large num-
bers of training planes will. result in q
wide distribution Of their ownership
and use and stimulation Of aviation for
commercial and pleasure purposes. The
theory is that every user Of one will
ere long want something different and
that he will be an apostle of aviation in
his community.

Rice Opposes Amendm lent
To Aid Veterans of War
Says Preference Proposed in
Civil Service Is ''Defective
and Inequitable'

William Gorham Rice, State Civil
Service Commissioner, issued state
ment yesterday charging that the pro-
posed amendment to the state consti-
tuition giving preference to veterans
in the civil service is "discriminative
defective and inequitable."
He points out that the amendment
gives no credit to women, munition or
farm workers who helped win the war
and also invites the 100000 soldiers
from other states to come to New
York for jobs. 1t also, he charges, dis
eliminates against the coming gencr-
alton which was too young to enlist
in the war against Germany.
while L yield to no one in my
recognition of the great service and
sacrifices of our soldiers, l feel that
the great debt which the nation owes
them should be paid in other ways
than by giving them positions in the
civil service unless they are as we'll
fitted as other candidates." he said.
"In addition to this veteran prefer
ence is undemocratic. The fundamental
idea of the merit system is a square
deal for all, and that the best fitted
shall be selected to serve the state
The several proposed veteran prefer
once amendments not only give equal
preference to all who have been in the
service, no matter how short time,
but exclude all those, including the
women, who rendered important SER
vice to their country in civilian work
necessary to the winning of the war"
