|tourcement that the fighting aircraft
Z the Atlantic would be brought to
Detroit during the early part of Sep
ember to participate in the Pulitzer
sir races and that pilots of these ma
hines would seek to establish new
altitude and endurance records, was
made here recently by Rear-Adm1ra1
William A. Moffet, chief Of the Bureau
c Aerial Navigation of the United
Stat1es Navy.
The admiral predicted that within
he next year safe. dependable air
lanes would be crossing the Atlantic
In regular passenger and freight
chedules and that the aircraft in
astry would rival that of the auto
Mobile industry within a compare
iyely short time. He predicted this
Adey would become the center of the
keronautical field.
Discussing the part that aircraft
hill play in any future war the admir-
III said:
Aircraft was the only arm of de-
ense that the recent disarment con-
ference failed to restrict and in the
2ext war destruction or victory will be
j matter of but a few hours. Great
aleets of airplanes will drop 1000
sound bombs. Fleets of these air
mensters will descend upon cities in
he next war. carrying greater loads
Tor greater distances than was the
vase during the war"
THE airplane is not to be developed
merely as an engine of destruction,
however" the naval officer declared.
fhe~eommerciaI usefulness of the
airplane cannot be over emphasized.
The war airships, great carriers with
4 speed of from S5 to 40 knots an
hour. will be able to launch smaller
planes from their decks by means of

ships into the air at the rate of SO
miles an hour. The same catapult viii
be used for commercial purposes
A fast transatlantic airship could
cast from its decks an airjlane loaded
with mail within a distance of a

The ku klux Klan is guilty lf

claim to Americanism is false" de-
clared Governor-elect George S.
Silzer on Saturday afternoon, when
before 500 Masons, he spoke at the

During his address which was the

Mr.. Silzer said that he had been

.FREEHOLDERS
QUIZ WYCK0FF
ABOUT BUDGET
Think Sheriff's Office Should
be Self staining--H
Got Figures
SHERIFF: ASKS INCREASE
County Board Plans to Adopt
Budget at Meeting
Thursday

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 1S.-
Sheriff Elmer Wyckotf will be sum
moned to appear before the Board
of Freeholders before Thursday of
this week for the purpose of ques-
tioning him about the cost of OPP
Grating his office and learning why
it is not self-sustaining The free
holders have been asked for an APP
preparation of $4,000 for 1928 by
the sheriff, who also asks s3.500 to
cover a deficit in this years account.
The appropriation this year was
$4,000 and that of last year
S27,947.
Sheriff Wyckoff has pointed out
that his office will return to the
county treasury about 81 5000 which
he anticipates as the total revenue
for the year. This figure would mean
a cost of s2S,000 to the county for
the operating of the siieriff's office.
Members Of the Board of Free
holders have investigated operating
expenses of sheriffs' offices in other
counties and they report that in
Mercer county the appropriation this
year was s25.000 and this amount
was turned back to the county in
revenues by that Office making It
self sustaining. The freeholders are
of the opinion that Middlesex county
should be no different from Mer-
Ger and it will be in order to hear
Sheriff Wyckoff's explanation of this
that he will be asked to appear be-
fore the county board this week.
In addition to an under sheriff
and stenographer in the Middlesex
county sheriff's office there IS one
process server receiving $1.S00 an
nually, two process servers receiv-
ing $1,000 and one colored attendant
receiving $500. Sheriff Wyckoff has
declared that his office has been op-
Grated in the most efficient manner
during his term as sheriff, pointing
to the large number of testimonials
from lawyers in all parts of the state
as proof of the service being given.
In order to do the work efficiently
the sheriff has declared it is neces-
sary to have the men to do it with.
Members of the Board Of Free
holders will also question Sheriff
Wyckoff, it is reported, on the man
ner in which automobiles furnish
ed his office were used. The cars
are both said to be in poor eondi-
ton. this being attributed by some
of the members of the county board
to misusage.
