Lieutenant MacReady was in the air

engine coughed and died. He then
glided safely to the ground.
MacReady's new record is 2620 feet

this fight the pilot suffered none of
the hardships met by the former chief

the pilot assured.
/ MacReady was clothed in the heavi-

electrically heated throughout.
: A centrifugal air compressor oper-
ated by a gas turbine forms the super
charger which made the fight possible.
The turbine derives its power from tho
hot exhaust of the Liberty motor with
which the ship is equipped. And air
thus compressed is fed to the carbu-
rotor at the same pressure as air at
sea level.
The bi-plane was designed in Jan

French aviator while working under
direction of the United States gov

Begin Consideration of
Hurry-Up Relief
on Friday
Committee to Report on Num-

ton

Washington. Sept. 2S Due to
rapid progress by committees in for
mulating recommendation the ma
tional conference on unemployment
will lbegin consideration of a general
emergency relief program Friday,
five days earlier than had originally
been planned it was announced to-
night.
In addition to the report Of the
manufacturers committee, upon
which agreement has already been
announced, recommendations on en-
Urgency easures will be reported Fri
day by the committees on unemploy-
ment statistics, employment agen-
cics and registration, emergency
public works and construction. Other
reports will be considered as com
plcted it was said.
Announcement of the formation of
a new committee, on community
civic and emergency relief measures,
to recommend the best forms of
community organizations to carry
out the recommendation for de-
CrC9sing unemployment was made
today by the conference. This was
said to have developed from indica-
tons developing in the deliberations
of the conference that tho immediate
problem of finding work for the idle
was for the individual communities
to handle.
The suggestion, it is understood
has also been made that local com
mittees should be formed in the cit
les and different sections or tho coun-
try to administer the recommended
tiOnS adopted by the conference.
Public hearings today were devot-
ed to the question of employment
service and the relative merits OF
public and private agencies. The
majority of the witnesses favored the
use of public agencies, either NUM-
cipal, state or federal, in the distri-
button of work. Urbain LedouX, who
recently conducted labor auctions on
Boston Common strongly endorsed
the establishment of federal employ
ment agencies throughout the coun-
try.
Organized labor, according to Will
liam c. Roberts of the American
Federation of Labor, was emphati-
cally in favor of a federal employ
ment service absolutely neutral in
labor disputes.
Mrs. S. j. Atwood of the Metro
politan association of Employment
Agencies of New oYrk declared that
the private agencies had the best
machinery for handling the situation
and criticized the federal service as
failure during the war. She
charged walking delegates of organ
lied labor with attempting to graft
through private agencies, and said
she had POO chances for graft in the
past year. Mrs. Atwood informed
the committee that the answer to the
unemployment situation was to get
work going"
