AIR COMMANDER
 VISITS ALABAMA
New Head Of Fourth Corps Area Now At
 Montgomery
(state Capital Bureau.)

MONTGOMERY, Ala, June IA Air forces of the army in the fourth corps area, which includes Alabama and eight other states have new com mander in the person of Lieutenant Colonel Charles H. Danforth, who has been appointed air service officer of the fourth corps area. He reached Mont gomery Friday for an inspection of Maxwell field which he pronounced a vital link in the governments chain of air stations and the only government owned flying field in the corps area. Colonel Danforth stated that he will be at Maxwell field when the Birming- ham aerial units of the national guard train here in August as well as when air units from other states in the area are training here. He expects to visit Birmingham and Mobile in the future.
 Colonel Danforth was commanding officer at Langley field, Hampton, Va, before coming to take charge of air forces in the southeast. He is strong believer in the immense possibilities of air traffic development.
 "Fifteen or twenty years ago you would not have believed that today peO- pie would be hunting around for DldCcS lO pdEh Oh EOui streets" he stated. We are anticipat- ing a development in the air next 15 to 20 years comparable to that already witnessed in the automobile"
 An interesting feature of Colonel Danforths activities in command of air forces in this area will be the fact that although Atlanta is headquarters for the corps area, the colonel's personal machine will be kept at Maxwell field, and it will be from this point that he will embark whenever taking flight to Memphis, New Orleans, or some other point in the area. He stated that he expects to go over the states in his territory in the near future.
 Colonel DanfOrth stated that he has important work ahead of him as officer in charge of the southeastern area air forces, the nature of which for mili- tary reasons cannot be divulged.
 Before entering the air service, Col. Danforth was for a number of years with the 17th infantry. He is native of Maryland.

 "The ticket nominated is entirely agreeable to Wall street financiers and the big international bankers. The platform offers no hope of substantial relief@to thousands of unemployed wage earners and millions of farmers in dis tress. It is silent on the missuse and abuse of the taxing power and says nothing on republican betrayal in turning over the control of the money supply and credits to the bankers of Wall street.
