Coolidge Announces He
 Will Not Interfere In Matter of Witnesses
 Called or Procedure.
All Nine Have Not Yet Ac. cepted Appointment and Strong Opposition Is Voiced to Selection of Howard Coffin.

Washington, Sept. is R-Presi- dent Coolidge will give his aircraft investigating board a free hand as to the witnesses to be summonded and the course of procedure to be followed.
 Acceptances have not yet been re- ceived from all of the nine men asked to serve, but the President Is confident that all of them will ac- cept.
 Approves Open Sessions
 Mfr. Coolidge feels that the board must decide for itself whether Is hearings are to be open to the pub lie, but sees no argument against open sessions unless perhaps at some time In the invetigaton the board should consider confidential plans for the national defense.
 The policy to be pursued in this course. he thinks, can be best de- cided after the board has convened and organized.
 Object to Coffin
 Criticism of the appointment of the presidential aircraft inquiry board of Howard E. Coffin of Detroit was voised in a letter to President Coolidge made public today by the American Society for Promotion of Aviation.
 The letter was signed by Thomas L. Hill, president of the society. after congratulating the president upon the naming of the special board, asserted that in Mir. Hilrs opinion the presence of one mem- Der, Mir. Howard F. Coffin. will breed mistrust In the minds of the 1 public, and, to a great extent. de- ] feat the purpose for which the board was created" MT. Hill declared the Hughes air craft investigation of 191S-1s had forced the resignation" on Mir. Golf fin from tho aircraft board, of which he was chairman, and 'caused the indictment of men associated with him."
 ''1'he American Legion" continued the letter. "after conducting a thor ough investigation, published in It's weekly serious charges against Mir. Coffin's administration, in which 1t named Mir. Coffin and Colonel Deeds as being responsible for the aircraft fiasco during the war" Colonel Edward A. Deeds was as- sistant to Major General Squier, then chief signal officer of the army. un- der whose Jurisdiction aircraft pre- duction fell before it was turned over to civilian hands.
 Mir. Coffin is president of the Na- tional Air Transport, Inc, and last week laid before the president plan for private operation of the air mail service.

zON|NG ORDINANCE
 READY FOR COUNCIL
Committee Reaches Agreement
 on Details of Law
ADOPTION ANTICIPATED
Study Continued For Two Years Reflected in Draft of Building Re- strictions - Board of Adjustment to be Appointed.

Sitting in the library of Judge John H, Kirkham's home In Plain vile, the ordinance committee Of the New Britain common council succeeded last night in accomplish Ing two things it has failed to do at any of It's in-town meetings this year, namely, to show a full at tendance of committee members and to reach final agreement on de- tails of the zoning law.
 The zoning ordinance, as a result of last nights gathering, is now ready for submission to the com- mon council for adoption, modifl- cation or rejection. but 1t Is predict ed the zones and code will go through without hitch. practically every objection brought to light to date having been incorporated In the now complete law.
 Result of Two years Work
 The codified land and building restrictions together with the map are the product of nearly two years of work. Arthur G. Crusberg, a former councilman from the second ward, Is credited with being the father of New Britain's zoning act, having introduced and worked for passage of a resolution to appoint a. committee for this purpose. Mir. Crusberg was a member of the original zoning committee.
 Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa selected a committee to study details of zon- ing, naming Appraisal Engineer Thomas Linder as it's chairman. The committee made an exhaustive study, reporting back the desirabili- ty of the plan. An estimate of $5,000 was placed on the costs of its in auguration and this amount was sought from the board of finance and taxation in February, 1924.
 When the money was made avail able, the committee entered into contract with the Technical Ad- visory Corporation of New York city for expert advice. After sur vey of the city, work on maps was started by field engineers of the corporation.
 Ordinance Committee Takes It Up
 Simultaneously, the work of draft ing an ordinance began. A series of conferences with the zoning commit tee and a representative of the cor poration moulded the zoning act to a point where 1t was ready for public inspection several months ago. At this point the commission announced its work at an end and the data was turned over to the ordinance committee of the common council.
 Under the supervision of this com mittee public forums were held, nights being allotted to every dis trict until all had an opportunity to be heard. Objections were noted and, insofar as the committee and their expert felt 1t practical, they were embodied in the new law.
 Last week a formal hearing was held In the common council cham Der and the maps and ordinance were again turned back to the
