 Problems Of Air =

By WILLIAM E. BERCHToLD Associated Press Aviation Editor.)
 Washington. Dec. 13 R-World air heroes and government officials of 40 nations had as a subject for discussion today interpational prob lens which may grow out of future air transportation across continents and oceans
 Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, Captain Frank Courtney. Clarence Chamberlin Arthur Goebel. Lieuten- ant Lester J. Maitland, and Lieuten- ant Albert F. Hegenberger-all of them fliers who have tested their wings on long over-water flights were here for the second plenary session of the international civil aeronautics conference called by President Coolidge.
 Highways Open
 A plea to keep the worlds aerial highways open 10 the traffic of all nations was presented to the confer ence by Pierre Etienne Flandin, vice president of the chamber of deputies of France. In outlining Frances plan for a system of airways with adequate airports. the head of the French delegation to the conference called attention to his country's po- lie of free passage to all air traffic.
 French aerial highways are not only used by French flying machines but by English. Dutch. Belgian, German, and Italian air lines" NJ. Flandin said. We always have de- tended the principle of free passage at international conventions, and be- lieve it is desirable that the whole world adopt this as it's policy"
 The importance of international cooperation in the establishment of an ocean weather service for transat- lantic airplanes and airships was brought before the conference by J. C. Hunsaker. vice president of the Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation. which is now engaged in building two giant dirigibles for the navy.

 Before the two old friends parted for the night Venuti asked just why it was that President Harding had invited him and his sons to the bur- ial of the unknown soldier.

HARDING NOT VERY
 GOOD AS MUSICIAN
Fired When He Asked for Two
 Bit Raise

New York, Dec. 13 tP-Robert H. Davis tells in a copyrighted story in the Sun today of a skating rinN proprietor who discharged a trom- bone player and so turned the as- piring musician into other paths Of endeavor. paths that led in time to the presidency of the United States.
 When the roller skating craze swept over the country in the early sos of the last century, says MT. Davis. a young Italian named Pete Venuti opened rink in Marion. Ohio, and installed an orchestra 0! eight pieces.
 The least of all the players in that little band was one who blew upon the slide trombone and in due time blew his courage up to the point of demanding an increase O.: salary. He was getting 50 cents q night and felt quite sure that hn was worth 75,
 "Fire Hin,-DO It Now"
 "NNhy should I pay him T5 cents for his kind Of slip musiC?' Pete Venuti asked his orchestra leader. "ft isn't worth 50. Fire him. Do t now"
 And so the artist of t17a collaps- ing horn was fired and the roller skating craze passed in due time to the limbo of million other fads. Pete Nenuti turned to other tasks, joined the gold rush and married a girl in the klondyke. and as the years passed raised family of three sons.
 When America entered the World War the youngest of those sons joined up, and when the war was over Private Nenuti was listed as missing and unaccounted for. Some where in the mire of battles tierCelg fought lay the bones of the young est son of Pete Nenutl.
 From their fellow toNnsman, War ren Gamalifl Harding. president of the United States. Pete Nenuti and his two remaining sons received in- ,itations to attend the solemn cere- monies incident to interlnent of the unknown soldier at Washington as guests of tho White House.
 Sit in White House
 The day after the ceremonies the president and the former skating rink proprietor sat smoking in the White House and talking of days gone by. The executive recalled the discharge of the young trombone player from Nenuti's rink
 "Pete," said the president. "Whv didn't you see that o5 cent raise ?''
