Jackson Points Out That
Big Space Is Necessary
for Landing.
AIRPORT LOOMS
Kiwanis Club Informed Of
Requirements for Large
Air Terminal.

When Douglas goes to work to
build itself an airplane terminal 1t
cannot set aside too large a track
of ground for that purpose.
This fact was conclusively evident
in the remarks of George E. jackson,
president of the Douglas Chamber Of
Commerce and Mines, discussing his
recent visit to Los Angeles at yes.
terday's weekly luncheon of the Ki
wants club
line of ten passenger planes between
Los Angeles and Ell Paso; by way
of Phoenix, which be described in
an interview recently, and explained
the difficulties encountered landing
these huge planes.
The ten passenger plane can land
on the seacoast at a speed OF IS
miles an hour, he explained, but in
the higher altitude of Arizona, with
more rarefied air, the landing speed
is at least IS miles an hour ana
q field with a least mile of clear
level ground is necessary to bring
the machine to stop.
Jackson outlined the possibility that
Douglas may ultimately be the ter
minus of a feeder line to this pro-
posed ans-continentl airWay, or a
stopping place on q line to Mexico
City. He also said that MadduX,
Inc, which will put ten passenger
planes in service, plans at some future
time to build planes carrying as
many as 25 passengers, which would
necessitate an even higher landing
speed and relatively large field
for landing and taking off.
The luncheon was attended by some
40 Kiwanians the largest crowd to
gather for several months, indicar-
ing that most of the business men
of Douglas who were away on vaca-
ton are now back in harness and
ready for the fall season.
T. T. Schofield was chairman Of
the meeting. The International Or
chestra played several numbers and
A. w. Cotton sang a cycle of Negro

made ten minute address, in which
she asked the Douglas business men
to aid her and her associates in
their work in behalf of under -priviieg-
ed girls, that is, girls of poor families
who are deprived the pleasures and
social privileges which naturally ac-
crue to other more fortunate girls.
Her request was referred to a stand

ABANDON HOPE
Sir John CARING Not Sight
ed Since HOp-Off From
HarbOr Grace.
CONTINUE HUNT
Three Ship Are Still Comb
ing the Sea in Search
Old Glory.

NEW YORK, Sept. 8 R-The
Canadian monoplane Sir John CARING
was believed tonight to have ended
Its flight to London in that port
of missing planes which has engulfed
eight others during the summer.
The last of those eight was the
American monoplane Old Glory,
which disappeared yesterday and Of
which no trace had been found to-
night.
The CARING, manned by Captain
Terence Tully and Lieutenant James
MeGcalf, took off from Harbor Grace,
N. F., at 7:25 a. m. eastern standard
time yesterday and from the mos
ment it faded from the sight of
watchers on the field. so far as
known, no eye has beheld it.
At 3.l7 o'clock on the same morn
ing Old Glory which previously had
been reported proceeding swiftly over
land and sea, sent out its electrifying
SOS, giving its position only as 'five
hours out of Newfoundland, east"
Then, it, too, disappeared as if into
some secret realm unknown to man.
Three men were on board, Lloyd
Bertaud and j. d. Hill, pilots, and
Philip Payne, managing editor of
the New York Daily Mirror and
flight manager for William Randolph
Hearst
Three ships we're still combing the
sea today for Old Glory but none
knew where to look for the CARING,
since no reports had been had of
her from the time she passed out
over the sea. 1t was impossible even
to estimate the probable general posi-
ton Of its disaster, If disaster there
was.
Optimists saw some hope for the
two planes in the amount OF gaso-
line they carried. Old Glory's gas
could have kept her in the air
if she did not plunge into the sea,
after her SOS-until o'clock tonight.
The Carvings supply might keep ker
up until 4 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Less hopeful persons argued that
if either plane was still in the air
tonight it surely would have reached
land. Had Old Glory continued on
its course after the SOS it should
have crossed the Irish coast at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon; She
Carling should have got there early
this morning.
Thirty great liners were on the
north Atlantic while the flights were
in progress and shipping men be-
lieved that had either plane crossed
the sea it would have been sighted
surely once and probably many times.
They pointed out that Old Glory
had progressed hardly 800 miles over
the water before it was sighted by
the steamer California.
The search for Old Glory was
spurred, if anything can spur the
traditional zeal of men of the sea
in rescue work, by the offer of a
$4,000 reward to the crew saving
the planes occupants, made by

criticisms from various counties, Or
ganizations, individuals throughout
the state to the plans of the Oper-
ating the state highway depart
ment, and particularly the admins
tration of the $5,200,000 road bud
get, the Arizona highway commits
sion today concluded its open hear
ing, which in the future will be an
annual meeting.
Perle Mcbride, Of Globe, chairman
of the commission, addressing about
100 persons from seven counties
in the state, expressed the commits
SionS willingness to consider the
various suggestions made regarding
operation and expense of admins
trating affairs of the highway de-
partmeI1t. He was emphatic in his
statement that "the only boss of the
highway department was the COM
mission, composed of five men," and
declared the first real business step
would be to put the house in or
der.
Fred T. Sutter, Cochise county
senator and prominent exponent of
the commission form OF highway
administration, questioned State
Engineer w. G. LeFebvre in detailed
fashion of several items included in
the tentative budget recently an
nounced by the commission.
Particularly was the Cochise SEN
ator interested in the average cost
of $240 per mile to make road sur
veys in Arizona. Sutter thought the
average "too high" Lefebvre, how
ever explained that there was a
turnover or credit to this amount
in many cases. The Cochise Solon
was not satisfied and frankly de-
manded the state engineer to ex-
plain the contemplated cost of lay
ing a survey on that stretch of high
way east of Mesa on the route to
Superior. The budget allows an av-
erage of about $500 per mile for this
survey,
Considerable stress was placed on
the proposed surfacing and drainage
Of a 26.2 mile stretch Of highway
east of Douglas, for which $215,000
has been budgeted. Cocnise repreSen-
tativeS at the hearing urged through
written statement that the full So
mile stretch from Douglas to Rodeo,
New Mexico be included in the APP
preparation. Cochise also asked for
an appropriation of $4,000 to be ex-
pended on the highway between Co
chise and Wilcox.
w. c. Nelson and Representative
C. G. McQuillan, requested the COM
mission to earnestly consider that
section on the National Old Trails
highway between Holbrook and east

as a result of disputes Within
the Kuomintang party which con-

remains in China, temporarily at
least, leaving to others the at

government under one control.

tourist might do, except that she
intended to place three Chinese

Mrs. Chang said she intended

the Derby or any other "hoSS" race,
where gentlemen may indulge their
differences of opinion, all the rest OF
the United States seems bent upon
getting TO Louisville, helter-skelter. in
order not to miss the gala occasion.
The. race on Saturday at Churchill

Gov. Fields resents the idea that

He wants it stopped. He wants the
people to think of the good roads in
Kentucky and the reduced taxes and
the modern school buildings. Down

In any event, while the Derby lasts,

Coming to the Derby quickly gets
to be a habit. One sees here year

dropping everything else as this May

and remain here until the supremacy
among the 3-year-old thoroughbreds
