ITALIAN PILOT CROWNED SPEED
KING OF ALL SEAPLANE FLYERS
Maj. Bernardo Named by Fed
Grafton Aeronautlque
International.
Given Title After Flights on
Lido, Italy, on Novem-
Der 18th.

Mai Mario dc Bernardo Of the
ROYAL Italian Air Force. winner of
the 1926 Schneider seaplane trophy
from the United States. and unsuC.
cessful defender Of the honor this
Eau at the Lido, Venice. against the
onslaught of 27-year.old British
Royal Air Force pilot, has been Of
ficially recognized by Federation
Aeronautique International. the
world governing body for aircraft
performances. as the seaplane speed
king Of the world. the National
Aeronautic Association here has been
advised.
Maj de Bernard.'s claim to the
title lies in the performance he es-
ta bliuhed November along the Lido
at an average speed Of 297.S16 miles
per hour in an improved model Of
the Macchi-Fatt monoplane seap!ane
he flew at Norfolk a year ago. In

Maj dc Bernardo. together with
two other Italian Royal Air Force
pilots. were entered in this years

longing Britain. hut both he and his
comrades failed to finish the course
through engine trouble Flight Lieut..
:. y. Webster of the challengers car
Ted off the race at the astounding
speed for seaplanes OF Isl and frac-
ton miles per hour.
Carl +. Schory, secretary Of the
contest committee Of the National
Aeronautic Association. last night
emphasized the difference between the
speed mark of Webster's and De Ber-
nardi's. In the case of the former.
Fight Lieut. Webster flew a triangu-
lar course of $50 kiiometerS-seven
times around 50-kilometer course
Two turns of the course were almost
$50 degrees causing n loss Of speed.
The Schneider Trophy course itself
is not i'm the category OF world rec
ords hat out of 1t maximum speeds
for 100 and 200 kilometers can be
cleaned and credited.
Mai. de Bernardi's course made il
possible for the determination of the
absolute limit of speed TO his plane.
The maximum speed record for both
land and sea planes is over S'kilo-
meter course and the pilot attempting
a record must fly along this course
four times-twice up and twice down.
The average of the four flights de
termines the speed, as on at least two
trips over the line he is assisted by
helping wind. no matter how gentle
it may he, and on the other two he
is hindered by the same condition.

AGAINST DEBT PAYMENT

Payment of the European war
debt at present would be more
dangerous than cancellation, pr.
Raymond Schultz of Manchester
College, said before the Kiwanis
Club luncheon Wednesday at the
Claypool.
N"Payment in gold would leave the
United States with 95 per cent of
the worlds gold in ten years." DR..
Cchutz declared. This would result
in dangerously high living costs.
Payment in goods would throw
many Americans out Of work, and
payment in colonies would only
bring grief similar to that now ex-
perienced in the Philippines.
DIR. Schultz declared he was not an
advocate of cancellation, but that
the United States should understand
the foreign problem better. He also
presented present-day business con-
ditions as seen abroad.

HEATED DEBATE ON BILL
Repeal of Present Registration Law
Provided i'm Measure.

Repeal of the present registration
law is provided in a bill which
caused heated debate in the Indiana
Senate late Wednesday. The bill
came from the committee on a di-
vided report, the minority favoring
indefinite postponement. Backers of
the measure declared the present
voter registration is corrupt and I'M
just, while those urging support of
the minority report argued that it
would be unconstitutional not to have
any law governing the matter.
Senator ]. Monroe Fitch Rep.),
Muncie, declared there was no law
on the subject until 1911, and that
up until that time each community
took care of its own registration and
it was not held unconstitutional. The
minority report was rejected Is to 23.
