Adj. Gen. ColeIs Very Doubtful
 About Air Service Units In State

and have been told that the sole req son for their not being provided is lack of the funds necessary. The government, I should say, pays in the neighborhood of two-thirds of the ex- pense of maintaining the National Guard units and much as I would like to see the plans outlined mater ialize feel doubtful if their rea1iza- ton is very near at hand.
 Should the plans, as drafted be carried out, continued the adjutant general the question would irnn1e- diately arise as to the construction ton of the airdromes to house the large quantity of air equipment necessary for these units.
 teWhi1e the State builds and main tains the 'armories for the National Guard units, the government could hardly expect the State to expend the large sums needed for housing facdh- ties, for ar extensive air service.
 "I am of the opinion mat the enter prise of Hartford in the establish n1ent of a municipal landing field is in part responsible for the exploitation of these tentative plans. I know that the army aviation officials are iIn- menseIy pleased with the cooperation of this city in this respect and arc urging other cities of the country to follow the example of Hartford.''

During her convalescence she was also compelled to care for sick husband, and she arrived here in a weak ened condition. She consulted a physi- elan, to whom she did not return again.

 Big Test
Extent of His Influence May Be Determined by Result of His Insistence That Senate Adjourn Until Ready to Tackle Tax Legislation.

Washington, July - President Harding faces today a severe test of his official and personal inf1uenes with his former Republican col- leagues of the Senate.
 The extent of that influence may be determined by the result of his insistence that the Senate recess or adjourn until it is ready to tackle tariff and taxes legislation. While he may have fulfilled his expressed de- sire to have the soldiers bonus bill sid detracked until tariff and tax re- vision is accomplished he and the are threatened with serious opposi- tion from Republican Senators who only on Tuesday voted down Senator Lodges proposal for a four-week ad- journment.
 Senators Kenyon, Rep, Iowa; Nor ris, Rep, Nebraska; Capper. Rep, Kansas, declare they will fight to a standstiIl the Presidents own pro- posal for an adjournment. They are among the leaders of the Senatorial agricultural bloc' whose members are demanding that the Senate not quit until it has acted upon pending agricultural legislation. A number of Democratic Senators identified against an adjournment.
 Even some of the Republican sena. tors closely associated with the Presi- dent and usually eager to comply with ms WlSneS, deprecated today the Presidents action in visiting the Cap itol in an effort to whip into line the Republican majority of the Senate. They admit he failed signally to se- cure the unanimous consent" of Re- publican senators for an adjourn ment, however successful he was in persuading them that the soldiers bonus bill ought to be recomrnitted to the Senate Finance committee, from whence it came, and action on it de- ferred until after the country's tax problems have been solved.
 The President is to send or deliver personally a message to Congress in justification of his position that the present, extraordinary session ought to be devoted exclusively to the tariff and taxation. The message may be forthcoming today or the President may decide to withhold it until Mon day.

Hartford, July s-:'While it would be very fine thing and we need 1t, careful reading of the reports from Washington disclosing tentative plans for the establishment of units of the army air service in Connecticut con- vinces me that this is only part Of the general plan proposed by the chief of the air service and depend ent entirely upon the disposition of Congress to appropriate money for such a purpose said Arjutant Gen eral Cole today.
 There is nothing in our allotment of National Guard units calling for any such comprehensive develop ment of the air service. Our final al lotment calls for one observation squadron attached to the regular army. consisting of nine planes or heavier than air machines. Owing to the lack of necessary appropriations it has been impossible thus far to es- tabish this unit, and the very amb1- tious plans outlined for an extension of the air service I believe to con vince Congress that the funds should be appropriated for this purpose.
 tConnecticut is now short one-haff of the National Guard units which we should, have, owing to the lack of funds available in Washington for their establishment. We have been stressing the need of more allotnents
