Result Of It's Long
Investigation

America, naturally the most
favored Of all nations for the
development of aircraft, has been
far out-distanced by all other
world powers in the commercial
of this great science,
the Hoover Committee on Civil
Aviation declared today as re-
suit of a worldwide survey of
aeronautics, which has extended
over six months.
The committee, headed by j.
Walter Drake, Assistant Secre-
tary of Commerce, aptedated the
Presidents Aircraft Commission,
which is due to also make a
report the last of this month, and
dealt only with the commercial
aspect of aeronautics.
Four Recommendations Made
Four major recommendations
were made to encourage the devel-
opment of commercial aeronautics:
/. Enactment of a commercial
aeronautics law.
2. Formulation of definite Gov
eminent program for building up
the industry.
3. Cooperation of all Government
agencies, including the army and
navy, to strengthen the aircraft
manufacturing industry.
4. Public support through modf-
fled insurance rates and investment
of private capital.
AbhOres Direct Subsidy
Although favorable to Govern.
ment cooperation, the committee.
opposed direct subsidy of indus
try, feeling that any step in this
direction would be unwise and un.
necessary.
THE Government can be Of
greatest help in development Of
civil aeronautics by providing funds
and authority to the proper agen-
cies of the Government for the de-
sign and construction by private

thrilled their friends here today
as they told Of their rescue from
the Stokes yacht, Genessee,
which is being pounded to pieces
by heavy seas off verO Beach,
Fla.
The two men and the crew, of
nine were rescued from the
grounded ship late yesterday by
members of the coast guard, as it
swung at the mercy of the waves.
Sailed From Washington
The Genessee. an $4,000 craft,
sailed from Washington on Septem-
Der 6, and Mr.. Clark boarded the
vessel as Mr.. Stokes guest at Nor
folk.
The yacht thep proceeded to New
York and Newport. and was bound
for Miami when the rough weather
forced 1t upon the dangerous reef
Tuesday night.
The grounding was not con-
sidered perilous at the time, and It
was believed by those aboard that
the Genessee could be floated the
following morning, should the seas
become less boisterous.
Throughout yesterday, however,
neither wind nor sea gave promise
OF calming.
The coast guard was waiting for
distress signal. and as dusk was
falling. the grounded ship sent up
a rocket.

Mr.. Stokes and his guest i'm.
~mediately departed for Miami in an
automobile.
/ He intends to motor back to Vero
Beach later today to examine the
condition Of his craft and, il pos.

/ The effect of the incident in
Miami and in Palm Beach, also. was
to awake the rumor that young
Stokes and Mrs. Stokes are
estranged. although friends Of both
denied the report.
