favored the construction Of another
dirigible for the Navy to take the
place Of the Inflated Shenandoah.
Aviation can best accomplish it's
tactical and strategical MISSIONS"
Wilbur said in his statement, by
operating as an integral part Of the
Navy and not as an Independent
arm.
Separation Mistake
Naval aviation is today organized
as an integral part Of the Navy and
constitutes an arm thereof in the
same manner as do battleships,
cruisers, destroyers, submarines and
mine layers.
THE mistake Of establishing a
separate department would be we'll
an essential part OF the fabric Of
the Navy itself and it's administra-
ton and organization like other ad
ministrative problems will, II I'M
molested by outside influences, be
solved with the same efficiency and
with the same happy results as has
been obtained in similar problems
in the past"
Planes Are Needed
Wilbur said the present agitation
in regard to the air forces Of the
Navy was similar to that which &C.
CURED in connection with the de-
velopment and the utility Of destroyer
and submarine forces and gunnery
itself
Again stressing the necessity of
an air force as an auxiliary to the
fleet, Wilbur declared that employ
ment Of aviation in a sea battle
must be wholly dissimilar from its
method Of employment in a land bat
tie"
In order that it may be employed
with it's greatest fighting efficiency
and usefulness in a naval battle,
it must be thoroughly imbued with
the Navy itself, its methods and
tactics in battle. 1t can not be
trained by any organization except
the Navy itself. The Navy requires
its own air force as part of it's
very being and as a vital element in
naval battle"

Police Accused

liquor violations reported only after

Rikhon's statement resulted from
charges made by Charles S. Swick.

Slick declined an invitation by
Rikhoff to accompany him to the

McCloskey indicated the commits

architect to survey the building. The
interior will be made more pleasant
and the walls will be plastered, Nc
Closkey said.
The commissioners talked with the
inmates and were informed that they

Automatic Signals to Be In
stalled on Washington at
Sepate and Alabama in
Scheme to- Provide More
Police for Crime.

Automatic traffic signals for
Washington St., at Alabama
St., and Senate Ave-, were
ordered by the board of safety
today in an experiment which
may eventually result in elm
inatiou of traffic policemen in
the downtown business section.
The board acted as result of a
statement by Joseph L. Hogue, city
controller, that there would be no
money available for the hiring of
more police.
Ernest l.. Kingston, president, said
if stop and go" signals are success
full at the two corners, the entire
length of Washington ST., will be
regulated by synchronized silent
cops"
1t was pointed out by board mem
bers that for each stop and go
signal installed, two traffic patrol
men would be released for the firing
line against bank bandits and other
criminals.
Traffic Test
The board of safety had requested
the city council hire fifty more
police, providing July tax returns
We're sufficient.
Hogue announced funds would not
be available.
Signals were ordered at Virginia
Ave, South and S. East SITS. In a
traffic check the board found 1,150
automobiles passed the intersection
between and $50 p. m. Monday.
Tire marking, to which Mayor
Shank objected strenuously re-
Gently, will be continued, Kingston
said.
Defends Marking
Unless we carry some check on
the length of time cars are parked
it would be impossible for business
to be carried on by those who must
ride from place to place in automo-
biles," he declared.
A f1ash-warping signal was or
dered at Massachusetts and Tacoma
Aves.

REVEALED her (
Arrests by State Cops at
SheIbyviIIe BareS
System.

In the arrest of Roscoe G. Headlee
of Shelbyville, known as the car
penter- pastor" state motor police
today believed they had succeeded
in rounding up one of the most sys-
tematically organized automobile
theft rings i'm the State.
Thus far State police have traced
six stolen automobiles all Fords. to
their original ownership. Harry
HeGdlee, brother of the carpenter.
under the alias of Bert
Irwin, was sentenced this week to
a two to ten-year term in Indiana
State Prison for altering an auto
mobile motor number by n Shelby
County jury.
Brother Jailed
A third brother is said to be in
Jail at Rushville facing a charge of
receiving stolen property.
AS result Of the so-called Headlee
cleanup two Carthage youths, Clyde
Willetts and Floyd Nelson, were sent
to the Indiana State Reformatory
last week to serve two to fourteen
year sentences for vehicle taking.
They were arrested at Vincennes by
State Motor Policemen Fred Martin,
Sam Young and Joe Shinn. Willetts
and Nelson confessed they had stolen
cars under orders from the Headlees,
receiving an average Of $50 for each
Job"
Systematic
Method of delivering the stolen
cars was said to be the most
systematic the State police depart
ment had ever observed" Orders
were delivered by code system. A
stolen car would be altered in order
that it's identity would be lost IL
would be delivered to another
locality through fence" Another
specially-ordered model automobile
would be stolen there and taken to,
headquarters" where it would be
changed to suit the buyers needs.
