COAST GUARD ASKS FIVE PLANES
FOR WAR WITH RUM RUNNERS
Officers Explain That Liquor Fleet Has Changed Base
of Operations, Making Observations From Air
Necessary to Keep Track of Ships.

A new offensive would be launched
from the air against rum row, using
hve swift seaplanes. under "A pro
gram laid before Congress by admin
iStration leaders.
AS revealed in hearings by a sub
committee of the House on the first
deficiency bill, the program would
expand successful work already un-
der way by a lone plane against
north rum row.
The rum fleet has changed its base,
it also was revealed by Coast Guard
officers, who said that most of the
vessels now We're lowering from 100
to $50 miles off shore. This makes
necessary boats of larger cruising
radius and Scaplanes, if possible, TO
keep an eye on their movements.
In the first deficiency bill, now be
fore the House. Congress is asked to
appropriate for recondi, ioning five
former Navy deStroyers, 35 larger pa
troll boats 125 feet in length, and D
seaplaneS. The deStroyers could be
made ready by August /, and the
new patrol boats by September l of
this year. Rear Admiral F. c. Billiard.
comma ndant of the Coast Guard, told
the House subcommittee.
Could Use More Planes.
IF this aviation proves to be good
thing" Admiral Billiard said, and we
are sure it will, we can use to advan-
tage more than five seaplaneS. The
reason we ask for five is that we want
to try it out in modest, reasonable
way
While the Coast Guard Formerly had
an air station at Moorehead City,
y. C.. with six planes. all of which
are now obsolete. il was learned at
Coast Guard headquarters there has
been one plane operating with success
at one of the vital points of rum row
off Gloucester. Mass.

Martin Il. Madden of the subComInit-
tee.

AT that time there were 20 or so YES

ever ask for.
we have attempted with one plane
loaned us by the Navy at Gloucester
not only to locate rum ships lying at
a distance, or SO far offshore that they
are outside Of the operating radius OF
the small 75-foot boats, but also to OBJ
serve the movements of our own 75-
footers, to summon them when we
want them to picket rum ships located
so far offshore as to be outside the
normal patrol area.

THE type Of work is probably the
most hazardous kind in aviation. This
flyer must leave the shore. strike
boldly out, and cover a certain wide
ocean area. / have accompanied the
officer during this work on a number
OF flights. He uses a small Navy
plane, the cost of which l believe is
about $4,000. 1t is called d pursuit
plane. and it has only about three
hours gasoline supply. Several times
there has been a good deal of anxiety
felt for this plane, as it has come in
with only five minutes of flying gas
lett. We require a plane with q larger
carrying capacity of gas. and we are
trying to get at least seven or eight
hours' fuel capacity"
An appropriation of $3.50 900. the
committee was told by the Coast
Guard officers, would cover the price
