MACCRACKEN AIDS
AM|TY IN AVIATION
Plans to Adjust Differences
Between Manufacturers
and Government.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 5.-William P.
MacCracken, Assistant Secretary of
Commerce for Aeronautics, was here
today to iron out differences between
manufacturers in the aeronautical in
dustry and Government departments
regulating their activities.
The all-day conference was designed
to permit an amicable discussion of
the problems involved in the approval
of aircraft designs by the Government,
inspection of factories engaged in the
production of airplanes and rules gov
erning the Governments licensing OF
approved types.
Prominent airplane manufacturers
have felt that the industry should i'm
pose upon itself certain regulations
concerning the building of safe aircraft
and has sought Department OF Com
merce cooperation in this project.
Regulations laid down by the Depart
ment of Commerce have been worked
out i'll cooperation with the industry's
wishes. and it is to permit thorough
discussion of the problems involved in
revamping the Governments code that
today'S session was called.
Planes Exhibited.
While scores of manufacturers, rep
resenting all sections of the country,
gathered for the conference with Mr..
MacCracken, thousands continued to
mill around the four score planes on
exhibition at the International Aero
nautical Exposition in the Coliseum.
Capt Frank Courtney, British aviator
whose transatlantic flight ended in mid
ocean, joined the rapidly growing list
Of prominent flyers to visit the show.
He arrived from New York by air In
company with officials of an Eastern
airplane manufacturing concern. Orville
Wright, the first man to fly; Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, whose Paris flight
opened new era in aviation, and more
than 100 delegates from 40 foreign
countries are expected by Friday, when
international day" will be celebrated
at the show.
Operators of 20 flying schools were
on record today as favoring vigorous
effort to curb the activities of ire
sponsible pilots who lure students to
their flying schools with optimistic
promises which they are not competent
to fulfill.
Act on Flying Schools.
The operators formed a permanent
committee on flying schools as Sec
ton of the aeronautical Chamber of
Commerce to set up code for the
guidance of accredited flying schools.
They proposed that schools which meet
the stringent requirements of the code
should be recognized as accredited
schools by the Aeronautical Chamber
of Commerce. Phil Love, st. Louis
pilot, was appointed chairman of the
committee to work out regulations gov
erning the operation of flying schools
and their personnel.
The problem of developing capable
pilots to meet the present shortage was
called the most serious one now facing
the industry, and the inadequate fly
by-night" aviation school scored as the
greatest menace endangering the in
duStry'S future"

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE UNDER DOG

World politics isn't my forte,
A fact which I deeply deplore
But life is a tritle too short
To follow these rumors of war.
OF course I keep up with the news
OF the fights
And the big international matches
But seldom cut into my days, or
my nights,
BY reading the foreign dispatches
I have read in the papers today
That the Icelanders loudly complain
OF being held under the sway
Of the distant and dominant Dane.
They say they will set forth their
grievance once more
And if Denmark refuses to heed
'ern;
They will plunge in a deadly and
terrible war
TIC prove their devotion to freedom
T suppose, in the case OF fight
The battle will go to the strong.
The Icelanders' cause may be right
Or it may be deplorabiy wrong.
A bluff their contentious will turn
And soon they may sadly deplore
them
But if ever they really get mixed in
a scrap,
I know that I'm going to be for
them.
I hope-I may pause to remark
That the struggle will never take
place
But though I am quite in the dark,
Concerning the rights in the case;
When a little frail fellow gets in:o
a fight
With a big and a strong and a
tall one,
I dent seek to find out which party
is right
But Justify cheer fer the small one.
THE PARADOX
Despite IIindbergh'S good nature 1t
seems to be easy to make him soar.

| WASHINGTON looks as il
President Coolidge may have to
speak up again.
The republican party's situation
seems to be without parallel Never
was there such hardy plant as the
draft Coolidge" movement. Each
time the president speaks, the can

speed. Then, after awhile, they all
slow down and one begins to hear
again that Mr. Coolidge will be COM
ipelled to take it. So it was after
Mr.. Coolidge said he didn't choose
to run, so it has been since he de-
clared himself eliminated. And
inow, again, comes the call for him
to explain himself.
There is really only one thing
that can put q stop to this little
cycle. If the president declares
openly and most emphatically that
he won't accept denomination un-
der any circumstances, one is not
likely to hear much more about
drafting him from Big Bill Thomp-
son, Charlie Hilles of New York.

anyone else.
The Hoover folks are especially
anxious that Mr.. Coolidge make
some such statement since the ad-
ministration ,muZzled federal Off
cials here who had been ballyhoo-
ing for the secretary OF commerce.
The muzzling was effected on the
ground that it was embarrassing to

caused even more embarrassment IN
the Hoover camp. 1t was, in fact,
the first real victory the anti-Hoov-
er politicians had won.
AS your correspondent gets the
story, it happened thus: Senator
Charlie Curtis had boiled over with
wrath for weeks at reports OF in
Icreasing Hoover strength. Curtis
felt that false claims were being
made for Hoover and that the pub
lie was being misled as to the at
titude of the administration, mean
ing Coolidge and Secretary Mellon.

Assistant Secretary Seymour Low

Isanctums, in boosting Hoover and

Lowman's nomination came be-
ore the senate. Curtis caused it to
be held up Congressman Bert
Smell, an Amherst classmate of Pres
ident Coolidge, carried word to the
White House that Curtis demanded
less open political activity in gov.
ernment departments. Not long aft
erwards, Secretary Mellon advised
UnGer-Secretary Mills that he had
better play the right kind Of poll
tics or words to that effect. Mills
Lassed the word to Lowman. The

Now this is the first time that
