DRY LEAGUE TAKES
FIGHT TO CHURCHES.
Anti-Smith Effort to Be En-
phasized at Services of
Congregations Today.

The Anti-Saloon League today will
carry its fight against Gov. Alfred E.
Smith of New York into churches all
over the country.
The league has designated this as
Temperance Sunday, and plans to dis
tribute in 10000 to 10000 churches a
statement declaring that Gov. Smiths
election would weaken prohibition en-
forcement, while the election of Herbert
Hoover would assure support of the
eighteenth amendment.
An announcement of this intention
was made here yesterday by F. Scott
Mcbride, general superintendent OF the
league.
Joining in the attack on Gov. Smith
the Anti-Saloon League of the Dis
trict of Columbia has sent a letter to
pastors of various local churches ex-
planning the leagues position. This
letter was made public last night anc
drew a sharp rejoinder from John F
Costello, Democratic national commit
teeman for the District.
Explains Policy.
Mr.. Mcbride made public statement
explaining the leagues po1lcy OF IN
forming voters on the subject OF pro-
hibition. 1t contains the following ref.
erences to the principal presidential
candidates:
"The election Of Alfred E. Smith
would weaken law enforcement through
out the Nation. 1t would strengthen
every movement for the nullif1catior
and eventual repeal of the eighteenth
amendment. 1t would handicap the
movement against the liquor traffic al
over the world.
"The election of Herbert Hoover would
assure the full support of prohibition
by the Federal Government, aid law en-
forcement, and encourage law ohserv'
ance everywhere.

We shall do our best. We are attempting
a new kind of exploration in little known
part of the world. We should be able to
learn more of the Antarctic in two short
seasons than all the brave and able men
who have Suffered or given their lives in
other expeditions.
Even a superficial glance at the region
that we hope to penetrate will show why
that is so. Nature has guarded the secrets
of Antarctica by locking them within wall
of ice and clothing the land with a white
deSolation in which no living thing exists.

Include Fastest Planes
1.-THE national air tour this year
will include planes of the most mod
ern type, piloted by many of the
country's best known fliers, and 1
believe that Indianapolis citizens as
we'll as those within short travelling
distance of the city should avail
themselves of this opportunity to see
for themselves the important and
significant advances that have been
made"
Williams particularly invited Off
GERS and members of the newly Or
ganized Indianapolis chapter of the
National Aeronautical Association.
Maj. r. F. Taylor, president of
the chapter, and other officials have

ton.

was extended to Lieut. Matt Car
penter in charge of Indianapolis

sonnet of the field.

Students in the class in CONNER
cial aviation at the Y. M. c. A.

New Air Records Sought

By United Press
CASSEL, Germany, June 8.-New
records for speed and rate of climb
are expected to be established
shortly by an ajrplane now under
construction.
1t will be operated by rocket
device similar in many respects to
that used in the recent tests on the
rocket-propelled Opal automobile in
Germany.
The new machine, which will
weigh only 500 pounds including the
rocket device, is being built at the
Raab, Ikatzenstein airplane works
and will be tested by Anton Raab
chief pilot of the company.
The rockets will be attached to
the wings of the airplane close to
the fuselage.
It's designers are not predicting
what speed the new machine will
make, but they intimate they ex-
pect that for a short distance, at
any rate, until the rocket burns out,
the airplane will attain tremen-
dous velocity.

MEXICAN PLANS

Ba NEA Seruice
MEXICO CITY, NJune 8.-The
proudest possession of Capt. Emilio
Caranza is a pair of field glasses,
given him at Velbuena flying field
last summer by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh.
Captain Carranza hopes to be-
come the "Lindy of Mexico" He is
already the most famous and popu-
lar of Mexican aviators; and he
seeks further laurels by attempting
to reverse Lindys good will hop of
last year and make a nonstop flight
from Mexico City to Washington.
His plane is a Ryan monoplane,
similar to Lindbergh's Spirit of st.
Louis"
Opposite to Indy
Except that he is good f1ier and
thoroughly likable young man,
Captain Carranza is as little like
Lindbergh as any man could be.
Where Lindbergh is reserved and
shy, Carranza is effervescent and
vivaciouS.
Where Lindbergh has typical
Nordic taciturnity, Carranza has
typical Latin ebullience. Lindbergh
got his aerial training in time of
peace; Carranza got his in time Of
war.
Captain Carranza was just II
when he did his first flying. He
was cadet at the Mexican military
academy when the de la Hureta re-
volt began.
Carranza learned to fly a plane
and took a prominent part in help
ing put down the rebellion. Then
he returned to the academy to COM
plete his studies.
Rain Saves Plane
A little over a year ago Captain
Carranza made the first nonstop
flight from Mexico City to the
American border, landing at Juarez,
Mexico. On this flight came an in
cident that shows his GOODNESS and
nerve.
A wing of his plane caught fire.
Captain Carranza, seeing heavy rain
clouds just ahead, plunged into
them and let nature put the fire
out, continuing his trip in good
shape.
A little later he flew from Mex
Eco City to Tia Juana, near the
