relative to YESTERDAYS decision of
the California supreme court from
Rudolph Spreckles, his western cam
paign manager, and Frank Haven
although they would have preferred
ner, California state manager, and
after the situation had been discuss

WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-Has

the IDEAS too ridiculous for

Here and there, perhaps some out

otherwise, but he's hard fanatic
to find, even in aviation circles.
That aircrafts are important as
naval auXiliaries is agreed.

"For purely defensive purposes"
went on this authority, aircraft, in
sufficient numbers might do.
"But if ever the United States has
