 Associated Press Staff Writer)
 Houston, June 29 P-Connecticut played its part. small though 1t was, last night in the nomination of Gov. Alfred E. Smith for the presidency by the democratic national commit tee. It was something which the states democracy had looked for ward to since the New York conyen- ton four years ago and a matter which had come up in state and To- cal conventions since that time. The states contribution to the Smith vote was only IA but there was as much pride evident in the voice of Chair man w. E. Thoms of Waterbury when he voted that number a, there was in the voice of any other state chairman.
 Get Applause
 Applause came from nearby dele gatlons. The only other part the delegation had in the events which follow cd the announcement of Sen ator Robinson, chairman, that Smith was the nominee of the convention. Was 10 send both Connecticut stand. ards into the march of the states through the aisles of Flag hall with It's Sn.ho0 spectators.
 T. F. Maher of New Haven and W. S. Meany of Greenwich carried the standard for time and then turned them over to two worncn delegates. The space immediately in front ot the seats section in which Connecticut sat. was so damned with people that the delegation could not nave gotten out to march even if it had wanted 10.
 Led by Walker
 Connecticut stood while the up- roarous parade went on, led by New ioTk's mayor Jimmy Walker. but her standards Kept going until the end. It had been day of inactivity for the delegation except that F'itz- gerald was with the resolutions committee from nine in the morning until six in the evening.
 He had listened 10 a debate be- tween vets and drys over the en- iorcement plank and was agreed ble as militant wet to the compro- mise which ended the committee work.
 Platform Pleascs
 All the members of the delega- ton were elated over the character of the platform and the Smith nom nation. Today, ready to ballot on the vice presidency, Connecticut will probably vote for Robinson.
 Their work done. the delegates prepared to return. Those goir1, by train. about 20. will leave Saturday noon unless the train movements enable quicker despatch. while almost the same party that came by steamer leaves Saturday noon on the San Jacinto from Galveston.

Washington. May R-Saying he had read reports that propa- ganda has been distributed by pub lie utility organizations in public schools, J. w. Crabtree, secretary of the National Educational asso- citation. is writing to IF state su- perintendents of education suggest ing that an investigation be made. Letters have already gone to Dr. John H. Keith at Harrisburg. Penn, and Dr. A. B. Meredith at Hart ford. Conn.
 T see by the Washington papers that certain propaganda has been widely distributed in your state by the lobby of public utility organi- zations." he wrote. Such material as this has been widely distributed in other states and for the purpose. no doubt. of using the schools to promote corporate and selfish ends. am wondering whether teachers have been misled as much as the corporation promoters expected.

SCORES 0F PLANES
 MANEUVER IN AIR
AiDhips at Langley Field in
 Great Demonstration

Langley Field, Va, May { R0 Glistening from the rub of scores of brawny mechanics, more than 100 planes of all descriptions were being tuned up here today for the greatest display of army air service since the World War.
 The ships had been brought in from many sections Of the country. Spread out in rows all over the field with pilots and mechanics hustling about with preparations for the two days of maneuvers, they gave the army station here the appear ance of an airdrome on actual war footing.
 The craft included Selfridge Field, Mich, pursuit planes, attack ships from Galveston, Tex, the big Lang ley bombers, hube cabin transports and observation planes from Wash ington, and number of other types.
 The mobilization. marking a new departure in the activity of the army air corps, was the first of eix similar demonstrations to be given by the corps throughout the country and the mimic air warfare was ex- pected to be witnessed by hundreds of citizens from the surrounding ter ritory in addition to aviation officers and officials and members of the senate and house military and naval committees.
 All the tactics developed by the air corps since the war were to be graphically displayed in the man. euvers for the information of ground forces, including the infantry, ar- tillery. cavalry and other service schools
 The last event on the program to- day was to show an actual bomb and machine gun attack on targets representing the ground formation of hostile troops.
 This display. while serving to test the accuracy of the machine gun fire and bomb dropping from the air, was not planned for that pur- pose. Officers explained it wal mapped out only to portray clearly to the ground forces the kind of at. tack they must expect to face in an, future war.
 War department officials hoped that out of similar demonstrations at service. schools a guide for train ing in all service branches. both fol action and defense, will be devel' oped.
 The congressional visitors made the trip here from Washington yes terday by air. as did Assistant Sec retary Davison of the war depart ment, Major General Fechet, chie1 of the army air corps, and othel high air officers.

to prevent children from getting wrong notions?" the letters said.
 MT. Crabtree pointed out that in his experience aa . teacher he had known schools to receive advertis- ing material. which sometimes was used in classes.
 T know that 1t is possible to im- pose upon teachers and especially upon the youthful and only par tially prepared part of the profess sion. l realize also the need of pro- lection for teachers and the schools by leaders in the profession and particularly by state superinten- dents and other school authorities" MT. Crabtree wrote.
 ''Is there enough in this to make it advisable for the National Edu- cation association to take a hand in the matter?"
 Although certain organized busi- ness has seized upon this as a way of promoting selfish ends. won- der whether after all they have been able to get very far in their designs. The high ideals of our pro. fession would, it seems to me, en- able the teacher as c rule to dis criminate fairly well between that which is proper and wholesome and that which is not wise to teach.
 Tn all this we must remember that by far the greater number of our leading business men would not stand for this propaganda that their organized lobbies are putting out if they really understood the meaning and purpose of it. They will justify fully our seeing that the schools are protected from vicious and bad influences.
 What do you plan to do? What should our association do?"
