Washington Hears Music From Sky

Music and voices from the sky de-

this morning causing thousands To turn
their eyes upward.
The source was q tri-motor Fokker

The sounds are stepped up through q

said. for military use and for conveying

after inhabitants of the rural districts
have become more generally familiar

The company has had conferences
with Army and Navy aviation officials
regarding the possibilities of the voice

For advertising effectiveness the

have had cooperation from the labo-
ratories OF the Bell Telephone Co, the
Western Electric Co. and the Victor

The noise of the motors is not am
p!ified and the mechanism can be adj
justed so that the voices and music
will be heard distinctly above ordinary
traffic noises

SAN PEDRO, Calf, November 49,
The United States naval aircraft car
rier Lexington has captured the world
records for speed and power developed
by large power driven ships, following
successful tests yesterday in which she
developed 10000 horsepower and raced
past Santa Cruz Island at an estimated
speed of 34.5 knots about 40 land miles
an hour
The greatest amount of power de-
velOped aboard a ship previously was
$4,000 horsepower on the giant Brit
ish battle cruiser H. M S. Hood in
1920. The Hood made a speed of 32.07
knots.
Last June the Lexington travelled
tee 2.228 miles from San Pedro to
Honolulu in 70 hours. "a minutes, a
record run. On the third day of that
E~ip she did 770 miles, bettering the
ples1nI'S record days run of 600 nauti-
ca, ir1eS by the light cruiser Omaha

tnalt ship is the 676 nautical miles
lodged by the Cunarder Mauretania in

The fight Is now being waged to place
only ardent supporters OF Hoover on

The Lowden people, who have been
