on the minute that he was scheduled
to make his only stop in Arizona.
Approximately $4,000 persons had
motored to the new municipal field

ton accorded the hero of oceanic

position in the army and navy as
well as in congress to the proposal
of the American legion for a unified
department. of national defense makes
it unfeasible to put it forward at
this time, in the opinion of President
Coolidge.
The president, it was said today
at the White House, feels it makes
little difference whether the present
system is continued or the unified
department is set up, believing the
difference between the two is merely
academic.
1t was pointed out that the army
and navy are now unified in the
event of war under the command
of the president and that if they
were put together now separate as
sistant secretaries would be required
to run each almost in the same
way as at present.
The White House explanation made
no mention of the independent air
force element of the legion plan, such
a force to be coordinate In the pro-
posed defense department as a third
branch of equal Importance with the
army and navy and supplemental
to air units attached to the other
two services.
AS a result OF study of aviation
needs three years ago by COM
mission headed by Dwight w. Nor
row, Mr. Coolidge urged congress in
1926 to create the present offices of
assistant secretaryships for air in the
war, navy and commerce depart
ments.

DISARMAMENT,
WITH SECURITY,
AIM OF LEAGUE
France and Germany Join
In Determined Disarma-
ment Drive.

GENEVA, Switzerland, Sept. % E9-
Resumption of the league of nations
disarmament drive has been provi-
sionally set to begin on December L.
France and Germany Joined today
in a determined expression not to
allow things to lag, both fearing that
delay will ruin the chances of eventual
success and achieving reduction in
armalnentS.
The disarmament drive will be made
by the so-called league of nations
preparatory commission on a dis.
armament conference of which the
United States is member. This
commission failed last spring to frame
a draft treaty considered ustifying
the convocation of an international
conference.
France is more Immediately inter-
ested in security rather than dis
armament, which feels secure enough
under the Iocarno pacts, but is keen
on getting her neighbors, especially
France, to cut down ornaments to a
point approximating the low German
military strength.
Both nations find satisfaction in
having renewed disarmament efforts
assured before the end of the year,
but the French delegates are par
ticularly pleased because the pre-
paratory commission will now be
asked to study the big problem Of
security, a point upon which France
has long insisted. The United States
will have an opportunity to join in
this work which will be coordinated
with the main disarmament effort.
To the accompaniment OF opinions
from various delegates that American
collaboration would be vastly appre-
ciated, the disarmament committee
of the assembly voted today to ask
the United States not only to con-
tinue to sit on the preparatory COM
mission but also on the special COM
mittee which will be created to study
the best means of extending arbi-
tration and security pacts.
It is believed that the main item

CHOICE FOR QUEEN OF THE FAIR

clipped from the Daily Dispatch.
Long before the zero hour Sec
retary Doubleday and his assistant,
Miss Anne McCue, laid aside all
ether duties, including business
pertaining to next weeks fair ac-
tivities, and devoted all their
energies to the contest enthusiasts,
hurriedIy counting handfuls of
ballots and depositing them into
the imprOvized ballot box.
AS 4:3O approached, the box
would take no more ballots, and
two auxiliary boxes were crammed
full before the hour struck. The
three boxes were carefully sealed
and stored away for the final
count.
During the day, according to the
tabuIatiOn, a total of 6,237 ballots
were cast-more, it was estimated,
than during all the rest of the
two weeks contest. Miss Whites
supporters had brought in 1878
votes during the day and Miss

FORCED DOWN AT VIENNA, LEVINE.
ABANDONS FLIGHT TO THE ORIENT

VIENNA, Sept. % QP-CharIes
A. Levine, whose attempt to set a
new nonstop distance record end
ed today when the mOnOplane
Columbia landed here tonight, told
The Associated Press that he would
abandon the rest of the flight to
Delhi, the point for which he had
originally set out.
Levine added that he might at
tempt it again at the end of OctO-
ber when the Indian monsoon sea-
son has passed, using London as
his starting place.
After necessary adjustments to
the Columbia, Levine and his
pilot, Captain Walter Hinchcliffe,
said they would probably fly to
Venice to see the Schneider cup
race there.
Heavy rain, low visibility and
failure of the gasoline feed tube
to the engine caused Levine and
Captain HinchcIiffe to abandon
their flight.
Darkness was just beginning to
envelOp the city when out of the

murky, rain-sOaked clouds the
Columbia appeared over the As
perm airdrOme. Finding a number
of commercial passenger planes
scattered over the field, Captain
HinchcIiffe circled overhead sew
eral times until airdrOme officials
could clear the field to make the
landing safe.
The Columbia then vOIpIaned to
earth, landing at $3.50 p. M, after
having been in the air since 8;O6
a. m. London daylight time.
The Columbia covered approx
mately $50 miles making an aver
age speed of about IS miles an
hour. 1t encountered headwindS
most of the way and ran into a
rain storm on reaching Frankfort.
The aviatOrs had intended to fly
for 55 hours to reach India, but
the rate of consumption of the
gasoline was so high because Of
the adverse winds and weather
conditions that they had not even
sufficient fuel to make a full
nights flight when they reached
Vienna.

SIX DIE iIEN
FALLS
IN IHIIRING|A
Baron On Holiday From
Washington Post Meets
Tragic Death.
WING CRUMPLES
DeplOre Death of One of
Germany's Most Able
Diplomats.

BERLIN, Sept. % R-Baron Ago
Won Nathan, German ambassador to
the United States, and five others
were hurled to death today when an
a1rplane in which the baron was fly
ing to meet his wife and child crashed
to earth near Schleiz in Thuringia.
The accident, one of the worst in Ger
man commercial aviation'S history,
has plunged the German nation into
grief and caused CONSERVATION in
German flying circles.
The plane was one operated by
Lufthansa the government subsidized
aviation company It was of the Dor
nier-M -Merkur type and had been in
operation for several months. Me-
chanics inspected it this morning be-
fore it left for Berlin and so far the
exact cause of the accident has not
been determined
An eye witness told of seeing the
plane over Schleiz and of how a wing
crumpled as the plane plunged to
earth. The pilot in charge was Willy
tCharlett, a trusted navigator, who had
been a pilot since 1912 and had flown
more than 100000 miles ror Lufthansa
without an accident.
It was established that the baron,
Pilot Charlett and three passengers
were instantly killed. The mechanic
died shortly after the crash The pas
sengers included Hans Won Arnin, son
of Admiral Volkmar Won Arnim, who
was in charge of the traffic division
of Tempelhof airdrome He had been
assigned by Lufthansa to accompany
the baron The others killed were
Hans Osmer, pupil at the Staaken air
pilots school, Rudolf Roell, clerk at
the main offices of the federal rail-
ways and Mechanic Seidel.
The baron, who was on a holiday
from his post at Washington, boarded
the plane at Berlin this morning. He
had been the guest of Herbert Gut
mann, director of the Dresdner Bank,
during his stay in Berlin which was
round of social and business appoint
ments hastily concluded to permit him
to fly to Munich to meet the baroness
and their only child, Edith.
The baroness learned of her hus-
bands death when she arrived in
Munich, where they had rendezvous,
from Partenkirchen. Private adviceS
from the foreign office at Berlin were
handed her. She Immediately retired
TO Hainhaused castle, near Munich,
which is the country home of Baron
Won Hail, former counsellor of the
German embassy in Washington and
now Prussian minister to Bavaria.
When Baron Won Nathan announc-
ed that he intended to fly to Munich,
attention to serious airplane accident
in south Germany yesterday in which
three persons were killed.
"Such things do not happen twice
in succession" the baron jovially said,
as he waved off the friendly warning.
Condolences from the United States
and other countries have been sent in

LOS ANGELES, Sept. % P-The
radio was called upon tonight to aid
in getting trace of the missing
n1onoplane Spirit of Hollywood and
its two occupants, Miss Marion Mack,
motion picture actress, and her pilot,
Capt. Frank Tommick, army reserve
officer. The missing plane took off
from Glover field, Santa Monica,
Wednesday morning for Chicago,
bearing aood wishes from the Holly
wood film colony to Jack Dempsey,
and with Salt Lake City scheduled
as its first stop.
A Los Angeles radio >brOadcaSting
station tonight sent into the air
urgent requests of ranchers and pros
pectors in the wastes of the California
and Nevada deserts to watch for and
report the location of two homing
pigeons. These, which were to be
released with messages, are believed
to have been overcome by the heat
of the desert and to have sought the
nearest habitation for water. A hom-
ing pigeon association which sug-
gested the birds be carried declared
tonight that pigeons are very sus7
ceptible to heat and made the prob
able explanation of their nOn-return
It was stated at Glover field that
at least two. planes will leave early
tomorrow to search for the missing
aviator and Miss Mack. Her hus-
band, Lewis Lewyn, of Hollywood, had
another plane in readiness at Glen
dale for a dawn hop off. It will be
pAoted by Roy Wilson and Bob
Starkey, who we're prepared to leave
this afternoon but decided the hour
was too late for q start.
Lewyn, who this afternoon received
a negative report from Fred Kelly,
Western Air Express mail pilot, on
the result of his search while COM
ing in from the Utah city today said
he was informed by air mail pilots
that it would be very easy for Tom
mick to have mistaken his bearings
and fly into Death valley.
The Glover field planes plan to
search that torrid area
The Spirit of Hollywood, a Ryan
monoplane similar in appearance to
Col. Charles Lindberghs famous Spirit
of ST. Louis, was believed to have
been last noticed passing over Victor

FARMERS EQUIP FOR
SPUD DISEASE FIGHT

The enemies of the potato-and they
are many, including diseases and in
sect pests-will have hard time of
it in Hennepin county this summer.
According to reports received by R.
C. Rose, plant disease specialist of
the extension division, University De-
partment of Agriculture, 46 new high
pressure spraying machines have been
purchased by Hennepin county potato
growers this spring. These, added to
six already in use in the county, pro-
vide fairly good armament for the
defense of the potato-at least, for
those growing potatoes on CONNER
cial scale. Farmers using the high
pressure sprayers load their sprayers
with both bordeaux mixture for the
prevention of disease and with poison
for the insects-bugs and leaf-hoppers
and flea beetles.
