"The department has done this at
obvious disadvantage. 1t has been
compelled to rely for the most part
upon planes originally received from
the army surplus. since which time
we have either built anew or re-
modelled our own planes at the May
wood shops.
Il do not hesitate to say that We
have never yet had a plane that Is
really suited for our purposes. To
carry mail to good advantage a
plane must be specially designed for
the amount and distribution Of
weight to be carried. the distance at
which it can take off, the rate Of
speed at which 1t can land and vari-
Gus other considerations OF i'm

I'VE have recently invited pro

line are realized VIC can do even
better than We have in the past.
"It is true of the post office de-
partment, as it is Of nearly every
thing else, that if VIC had more
money we think We could produce
better results. We are greatly re-

WORKER MUST PAY
TO REGAIN STATUS
Justice Departments Ruling
Will Enrich Federal Re-
tirement Fund.

Scores and possibly hundreds of
Government employees who wish to
take advantage of the recent decision
of the Attorney General permitting
employees who have been for various
reasons out of the classified civil
service to regain their civil service
status, VIII have to pay thousands of
dollars into the employees retirement
fund before they can De reinstated in
the fund
Appointees of the President who
have been raised to important official
positions and who automatically were
placed in the uncla ssified service will
come under the same ruling, and to
derive the benefits OF the retirement
act Will have to pay back into the re-
ttrement fund any money withdra wn
from the fund on their appointment,
plus the accrued amount at 2l2 per
cent per year, plus interest since their
separation from the classified service.
This will apply to at least one as
sistant secretary and to many others
who have been raised by presidentia |
appointment to important posts and
have thereby gone outside the classi-
ned service, although still eligible to
reinstatement.
The Pension Bureau, administrative
arm of the Government with respect
to carrying out provisions of the re-
tirement law, has no idea how many
employees will be affected by the At
torney Generals ruling.
An estimate of several hundred
probably would not be far wrong, as
In nearly every department a num-
ber of persons have been removed
from the classified service, thereby
rendering them ineligible for the
benefits of the retirement law, and
are. under the Department of Justice
ruling, now eligible for reinsta emen
and inclusion in the retirement
benefits.
The total received If a large pro-
portion of these employees take ad-
vantage Of the decision, is expected
to be large.
At the same time, it will take quite
n handsome contribution out of the
pocket of each Government employe
so affected, as some of the persons
who come under the ruling have been
out of the classified service for sew
eral years, and to again become eligi-
bic for retirement benefits would
have to pay the entire amount, plus
interest. they would have paid at 2h
per cent on their annual salary had
they remained in the classified serv-
ice. Interest is placed at 4 per cent
on account of service rendered since
March 81, 1922.

PHOtIess Planes
Made to Crash to
Find Blast Cure
Three Sent to Destruction
Before Cameras i'm
Army Tests.
By the Associated Press.

DAYTON, Ohio. January 15.-Three
obsolete airplanes were used yester-
day in continuance of test era shes
at Wilbur Wright Field in study of
such crashes that McCook Field engi-
neer officials hope will eliminate dis
astrous explosions after crashes
A racer, equipped with an old en-
gine, which had been conditioned to
run for maximum of approximately
10 minutes, was mounted on the 100
yard runway facing a concrete wall.
Pilotless and with the motor running
at full speed, the plane was cut loose
and dashed on it's way to destruction
against the abutment
The score or more OF movie and
Army camera men were set to catch
every detail of the plane, its destruc-
tive dash with normal speed and slow
motion cameras. These films will be
used by officials of the engineering
divisions of the Army Air Service to
construct a theory against fires and
explosions following plane crashes.
Following the clearing of the
wreckage of the first plane, two more
were sent down the skidway in rapid
succession. The second was a train
ing ship and the third an old pursuit
plane.
Thrills were plentiful in the test
crashes. Obstructions with the base
of the runway caused the planes to
capsfze, leap and dive into the wall.
The effect of an actual tail spin drop
was more nearly depicted in the
crashes than in the first one, Tues
day, when the plane was allowed to
glide the full length of the runway
into the wall.
