CRUISER FOR FLYER
DEPENDS ON TESTS
Naval Vessel to Take Lieut..
Williams to Italy if Plane
Shows Speed.

Although 1t was announced at
| Rapid City that President Collidge was
| willing to have a cruiser take Lieut.
| Afford J. Williams and his plane to
Italy for the Schneider Cup races, it
was made known today at the Navy
Department that the final decision
will depend on the results of further
speed tests.
Acting Secretary of the Navy War
ner revealed that the cruiser Trenton
| now at Hampton Roads, will be held
| in readiness to transport the naval
| aviator, provided the Navy Depart
| ment sees fit to thus sanction Will
| liams' participation in the trophy race.
| 1t is believed at the Navy Department
| that Williams would be obliged to
| leave for Venice not later than Sep
| TENDER to get there in time to pre-
pare his plane for the international
competition.
Secretary Warner declined to dis
| close the Presidents reply to his
recent communication, but indicated
| that while Mr.. Coolidge was favorable
to the use of naval vessel he left
the matter to the final judgment Of
the department.
Speed Tests Awaited.
Use of warship, Secretary War.
ner explained today. depends entirely
on the outcome of the speed tests

"As yet we have no official record
Of the planes speed" he added. at
is very probable that the Trenton
will be used to transport Williams il
further tests prove the plane to be
d creditable representative of Amer
| lean aircraft design and construc
ton"
| The Navy would have to be assured
of a reasonable chance for victory, he
said. before giving it's final consent.
| President Coolidge's agreement to
have a naval vessel take the flyer
to Italy was reached, it was said
after Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, the
transatlantic flyer, had flown his
plane the Spirit of st. Louis over
the presidential quarters at Rapid
City Yesterday, en- route from Pierre
s. Oak, to Cheyenne. At any rate
the announcement was made at the
temporary White House shortly after
that event.
Would Sponsor Entry.
, II the Navy Department sees fit to
assign a cruiser for Williams benefit
1t would put the Navy in the posi.
ton of practically sponsoring the
aviators entry in the international
races. although the plane was built
from funds collected personally by
Lieut.. Williams among friends in New
York "
Although Williams intended from
the beginning that the project should
be strictly private, he has received in.
valuable assistance from the Navy.
America needs but one more victory
to retain permanent possession of the
Schneider trophy. The hope of re-
taliating against the Italian victory
last year at Norfolk lies in the speed
or Williams plane, tests of which are
now being made at Long Island.

outcome of the transocean flying VEN
lures of Miss Mildred Doran and the
Princess -Wertheim, an
other woman is preparing to essay a
flight across the Atlantic.
Miss Frances Wilson Grayson, Long

of the venture are to be borne equally
by the women, who have formed the
Ancker-Grayson Aircraft Corporation.
The especially built amphibian
plane, with disappearing wheels for
ground landings, will have two Wright
Whirlwind motors of 225 horsepower
each; a cruising range Of 1000 miles,,
the greatest of any seaplane built to
date, and a commodious cabin for its
