DAV|SFOR BRINGING
WORLD PLANE HERE
No Decision Can Be Made
Until Weeks Returns, Act
ing Secretary Explains.

Acting Secretary of War Davis is
abf the personal opinion that the world
Cruiser Chicago. flagship of the Army
Air Service globe fight, should be
placed In the National Museum here,
but no immediate action on the final
t1ispoSition of it can be taken until
Secretary Weeks returns to his desk
I'm the Fall, it was learned today.
The plane now is in a hangar at
Dayton, Ohio, where it has been since
3ast November, when its crew, Capt.
Lowell H. Smith and Lieut.. Leslie p.
ARNOLD, flew it to NcCook Field from
the Pacific coast. Since that time ef
forts have been made to place the
historic plane either in the museum
here or the Field Museum in Chicago.
Mr.. Davis also is of the opinion
shat the War Department could not
turn the plane over to the city of
Chicago without special legislation
from Congress. In view of the deter
mined fight being waged by inf1uen-
xial persons in that city, ii would not
be a surprise TO the War Department
sf such permission is sought at the
eneXt Congress.
Centennial Wants Plane.
The matter of placing either the
chicago or the sister ship, New Or
leans, on exhibition at the SeSqui-cen-
tennial in Philadelphia has not been
kettled, and it is known that the man.
egement of the celebration there is
'anaking a determined fight for one of
the planes.
Space is lacking at the aircraft
building of the Museum at present,
but the director. w. De G. Ravenel,
Informed the War Department April
10 that he would be glad to remove
one of the leSSer-important craft to
make way for the world-f1ight plane.
The suggestion that Capt. Smith
and Lieut.. Arnold, the only ones who
ever flew the plane from the time it
was built to the present, be permitted
TO fly the ship into Washington where,
amid fitting ceremonies, it could be
turned over to the Museum, is not
looked upon with too much enthu-
siasm by the department, owing to the
chance of an accident during the 400
mile fight to the Capital. Before the
plane could make the trip. if such per-
mission were granted new gasoline
tanks would have to be installed, and
81 would have to be subject to
thorough inspection, requiring about a
weeks work.
