Academy Cadets Should
March at Inauguration

To the Editor Of The Star:
I find many people asking me whether
the cadets from West Point and An
napo!is are to be in the inaugural
parade, and when I tell them they are
not, they seem greatly disappointed.
=, do not recall at the moment when
these cadets last marched in Wash
lngton, but believe it was at the burial
OF the Unknown Soldier in 1922.
AS the inauguration this year is the
rlrst one for number of terms to have
real parade, it certainly does seem
an occasion for regret that these two
splendid schools will not be represented.
Aside from their being in what is a
national event, and seen by people from
all over this great land, their Won
derful showing, and their distinctive
uniform, would be decidedly added at
traction, and the inaugural commit
tee should do its best to induce the
authorities to realize the widespread
disappointment that will ensue by their
not being represented.

The First Ocean Airport.

When a short time ago, in conjunc-
ton with transatlantic flying, plans
were proposed for the establishment Of
midocean landing stages, the idea was
generally regarded as fantastic and
improbable of execution. 1t seemed to
be just another of the overoptimistic
enterprises induced by the success of
the airmen. But it now appears that
ocean airports are to become actualities
in the near future. 1t has just
been announced that construction
Of the first of these sea-flelds
is to be begun Immediately. This
will BE- an airport anchored about
800 miles at sea, halfway between New
York and Bermuda. 1t will be steel
platform 1900 feet long and 400 feet
wide and riding normally at 100 feet
above the surface Of the ocean. It will
be held in place by chains 2l,150 feet
long. The cost Of this great landing
stage, which it is expected will be in
place by Summer, is estimated at
81 $780, O0 Experiments with steel mod
els have pursuaded the engineers Of
the enterprise that this great seadrome
will ride any waves up to $50 feet in
height with practically no motion.
The company that is promoting this
enterprise contemplates the construc-
ton of a chain Of eight sea-stages link
ing the United States with Europe by
way Of the Azores. 1t has been esti-
mated that with these stages in use
planes could leave New York at six
o'clock in the morning and arrive at
| Plymouth, England. at four thirty
o'clock the following afternoon. The
| remarkable facility Of this service is
not to be regarded with doubt. With
| series of landing stages in the sea,
large planes carrying numerous pas
sengers could without difficulty make
the passage, stopping at such of the
seadromes as fuel necessities required.
1t would not be requisite, it would seem,
for one of them to stop at all eight
of the proposed chain ports" Con-

Gen. Summerall.

For only the sixth time in the entire
history Of the United States Army the
title of full general has just been be-
slowed. An act Of Congress, signed by
President Coolidge on Saturday, elevates
TO that rank from the rank of major
general the chief Of staff OF the Army.
If affects the incumbent of that
office, Charles p Summerall, a distin-
guished officer Of the World War and
one Of the finest types of American SOL
der any era Of our history, peace or
war. ever produced.
Under the new law the chief Of staff
keeps the rank of general only while
holding that office. In practice, it will
amount to permanent promotion, as the
chief of staff almost invariably reaches
the compulsory retirement age Of sixty
four before completing his time as sen.
Tor officer. Gen. Summerall will bt
sixty-four on March 4, 1881. He became
chief of staff in November, 1926.
It is into the worthy company Of
Washington. Grant, Sherman. Sheridan
and Pershing that Summerall nov
comes. 1t has not been given to him tc
WELD supreme command in the field. a.
1t was to those eminent leaders, but M

Massachusetts, or North Carolina =?

The latest selection" for the Hoover
cabinet, according to the cabinet max
ers, is Charles Francis Adams of Bos-
| ton, who according to report, is slated
to become Secretary of the Navy. Mr.
Adams qualifications for the Office are
| said to be based in part on the fact
that he is a widely known yachtsman
and familiar with the sea. He is also
a lawyer and the descendant of two
Presidents of the United States, John
Adams and John Quincy Adams, not
to mention the fact that he is treas
urer of Harvard University.
Mr.. Hoover is still saying nothing
with regard to his appointments to the
cabinet. Mr.. Adams was a luncheon
guest Of Mr. Hoover in Florida. The
rumor that he is to be Secretary of the
Navy, however, comes from Boston. The
idea advanced is that Mr.. Hoover should
by all means place a Massachusetts,
man in the cabinet in the hope of re-
facilitating the Republican party in the
old Bay State. Massachusetts went for
Smith in the recent presidential election.
There Is another State, however,
which seems to have a claim for con-
sideration in the Hoover cabinet, and
that State also has candidate for the
office of Secretary Of the Navy. That
is North Carolina. Now, North Caro-
lima, unlike Massachusetts,, cast its elec-
toral votes in the presidential election
for Herbert Hoover, which would seem
to give the Tar Heel State some claim
for consideration. Certainly the Re-
publicans there are insistent that all
possible steps be taken to hold North
Carolina in line, now that it has once
broken away from the tradition that
has held it Democratic in presidential
elections since the reconstruction days.
North Cardinals candidate is Stuart W.
Cramer, one of the largest cotton mill
owners in the country. Mr.. Cramer is
not without his knowledge of the sea.
He is graduate of the Naval Academy
in the same class as the present Sec
rotary of the Navy, Mr.. Wilbur.
Whether Mr.. Hoover is to take Mr.
Adams or Mr.. Cramer for his Secretary
of the Navy remains to be seen, al
though in some quarters it is insisted
that Mr.. Adams has been offered the
place and has accepted it. Perhaps it
may be easier to win Massachusetts,
back to the Republican fold than to
retain North Carolina therein, although
it is not likely that such a political
consideration would weigh heavily with
Mr.. Hoover in the selection Of his cabi-
net. The President-elect, it is well I'M
derstood, is seeking to fill the cabinet
with the men best qualified to head
the Government departments. While
Mr.. Hoover may not eliminate politics
entirely from the equation when he
makes his cabinet appointments, he is
not the man to let political considera-
tons outweigh his determination to
pick the best available men for these
important posts.

HOPE FOR E|ELSON
AND BORLAND RISES
Native Tells of Seeing Smoke
in Isolated Spot Near
Siberian Cape.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NOME, Alaska, November 27.--New
hope rose today for the cafety Of Carl
Ben EieIson and his mechanic, Earl
Borland, missing since they took of
November from Teller, Alaska, on an
attempted fight to the ice-locked ship
Nsnuk, as the result of report by q
native dog team driver that he had
seen smoke in an isolated spot near
North Cape, Siberia.
The Nanuk is ice-bound with the
Soviet ship Stavropol at North Cape,
and Eielson was attempting a rescue
fight when he disappeared. Searchers
have acted on the theory that he
might have been forced down on the
Siberian coast by gales which swept
the snow-covered region.
The native said the smoke he sighted
was about 36 miles from the Nanuk
EielSon carried small stove and a
large quantity of gasoline, with which
1t is believed he may have sent up a
smoke signal.
Hope was further increased by the
fact that this last report coincided with
another by Russian trapper, who said
he heard the drone of plane motor in
the same region on the day Eielson and
Borland dropped from sight. Fog hid
the plane from his view.
Frank Dorbandt, a pilot associated
with Eielson, took off here. yesterday
for Teller, Alaska, where he will await
favorable conditions to begin an aerial
search for the lost aviator.
Pilots Joe Crosson and Ed Young, at
tempting to fly here from Fairbanks,
were forced to return to their base be-
cause of Ice accumulating on their
planes. Pilot Frank Graham, who was
also scheduled to aid in the search, last
was reported stormbound at st. Michael
