$500 Planes; Direc-
tor Says No Tax Cut
Result

RPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 13.-(R)-
President Coolidge has approved "a
material increase" in next years
expenditures for the national de-
fense. Herbert VI. Lord, director Of
the budget declared upon concluding
an all-day conference at the sum-
mer White House.
Mr.. Coolidge has provided for the

navy and for the commerce depart
ment's aircraft plans, Director Lord
said. When finally completed, the
program will give the army 1,sUO
first class planes and the navy q
fleet of 1000.
The only naval authorization for
which the president has made no
provision, he added is that for
three submarines, asked for in 1916,
on which investigation work is still
being done.
Ships TO Be Remodeled
In addition to beginning the six
new cruisers and other naval craft,
Mr.. Coolidge has approved funds to
complete the remodeling Of the
battleships Nevada, and 0klahoma.

bills will be "amply provided for"

Coolidge desires that sufficient
funds be recommended to congress
to carry out the first years work
on all authorized naval constrrc-
tion, including the six cruisers,
which congress authorized for last
session.
While the director would not COM
ment on tax deduction which he held
TO be wholly up TO congress, it was
plain from the figures he presented
that q reduction OF taxes il ex-
tremely unlikely il all OF the emerE-
cncy appropriations already being
planned actually are made.

has approved a budget of $3.316. .000.-
600. about $31s.000, 900 in excess of
what Mr.. Coolidge hoped at first to

WOMAN FLIER
QUALITIES IN
DOLECONTEST'
Five Planes Ready to
Hop Off Tuesday;
Rumor Some May
Leave Sooner

OAKLAND AIRPORT, Oakland
Calf, Aug. 13.-tP)-With the ap-
proved list of starters set at five in
the Dole S35 900 aerial derby to the
Island of Oahu. next Tuesday al
noon, the federal inspectors late to-
day awaited word Of readiness from
the five remaining entrants. The re-
naming five must make navigation
and other tests before federal ap-
proval is given to make the flight.
Included in the five who have not
received approvals is Frederick A.
Giles, who was last reported in De-
troit.
Miss Mildred Doran, the 22-year-
old Michigan school teacher, was de-
finitely assured Of being the only
woman to join in the S35, 900 Dole
air derby to Honolulu next Tuesday,
when her monoplane, the "Miss Do
ran" received official permission to
start. The qualification of ]. A.
Pedlar, her pilot, and Lieutenant V.
K. knope, navigator, removed the
last obstacle in the way Of the De-
troit entrant.
Start One at q Time
The ideal way to start the race
would be on a runway two miles
square giving each entrant no ad-
vantage az the barrier, it was point
ed out, but the air derby Tuesday
will be conducted on a runway per-
mitting only one plane TO get away
at a time. No time allowance will
be given to the last starter over the
first. The first man to land on
Wheeler Field. Isle Of Oahu, wins.
The field was rumor-ridden over
the movements of various entrants in
the race and the remote possibility
that anyone of the fliers might take
away for Honolulu through the fix
ed take-off time is next Tuesday at
noon.
Five Not Approved
The five planes remaining on the
unapproved list must qualify before
10 a. m. Monday or Quit the race.
This condition has been stipulated bv
the entrants in a gentleman's agree
ment signed Thursday night, post
poning the race from Friday noon un-
I'll Tuesday at the same hour.
The City Of Peoria entry, flown by
Captain Charles w. Parkhurst, after
receiving thorough check was ready
for the navigation and load tests but
the Dallas Spirit, flown by Captain
William p. Erwin was being fitted
out with new earth inductor and
mariner compasses in preparation

tain Erwin was not satisfied with
the operation Of the instruments
that were in his plane when he took
off from DALAI, so is making the
