of time. Republican leaders were in
clined to the view that Mr.. Huston's
availability to head the Republican
organization in the coming campaign
had been lost.
Senators who declared their personal
faith in and friendship for Mr.. Huston
said they felt the investigation Of his
activities with the Tennessee River I'M
provement Association had given him
publicity that might be harmful to the
party If he should be continued in ofi1ce.
Other Senator's bluntly said that in
their opinion he would have to go out
of ONCE.
Already there was discussion of a
possible successor to Mr.. Huston as
chairman of the Republican national
committee. Prominently mentioned In
this connection was j. r. Mutt OF

anese delegation, also had a visit with
Prime Minister Macdonald this morning.
Observers doubted today If Andre
Tardieu, French premier, would keep
his appointment Sunday with Mr.. Mac
donald.
Indeed, unless the Naval Conference
shows some signs Of emergence from
its present impasse it is uncertain when
M. Tardieu, will return to London from
Paris, and dispatch from the French
capital this morning bore out this
belief. Aristide BRAND, French foreign
minister, has gone back to Paris also,
and Jacques-Louis Dumesnil, who heads
what remains of the French delegation,
insists that he has no authority in
the absence Of the two leaders.
Since M. Tardieu's departure last
Monday, after q week end conference
with Mr.. Macdonald, the conference
has awaited his return, 1t being felt
generally that he held the key to any
solution which might be found to the
present hiatus. The French attitude
now, it is understood, is that of having
expressed their viewpoint and of await
ing acquiesence to that viewpoint by
the contending powers.
M. BRAND himself epitomized It yes
terday as he left for Paris. He said:
II don't see much use In sitting
around hotel looking out of window
at the weather even if 1t is fine. ]
shall come back as. soon as there is
some work for me to do"
Officials of the French delegation
stated that although both Francois
Pietri and NJ. Dumesnil are going to
Paris tonight, leaving only Ambassador
De Fleuriau. this does not mean with
drawal of the delegation from the con-
ference.
Mr.. Macdonald continued his efforts
to bring the parley out of its apathetic
condition, and last night conferred with
Dino Grandi, Italian foreign minister
and delegation head, the meeting being
regarded as in the cards after the
British prime minister's two-hour- and
a-half session the previous evening with
M. BRAND
But it was understood Mr.. Macdon-
AIDS efforts to evolve some sort oil
compromise between France and Italy
resulted only in reiteration of the
Italian stand that parity with France
was the first, last and only policy OF
the Rome government.
Grand, it was said, seemed inclined
to resent demands of France that italy
put some sort of figures Of its naval
needs on the table. Frances figures
| he declared, were Italy's figures.

BOMBER IS LOOPED
WITH l,0DIELB. LOAD
Heavy Naval Plane Dives
1900 Feet With Open Motor
Before ACrobatiCs.

Bombardment aviation history was
written at the Anacostia Naval Air Sta
ton today, when a test pilot dove a
heavy bombardment plane carrying a
1.000-pound bomb more than 1000 feet
vertically with the motor wide open and
then performed series Of loops and
acrobatjcs with the same load.
No bombardmelEs plane of this type
ever has been put through such per-
Torrance, 1t was said. The pilot. VIII
liam H. McEvoy, chief test pilot for the
National Advisory Committee for Aero
nautics, at Langley Field, Va, has COM
pleted a series of eight dives with the
new plane, which now is undergoing
flight tests for acceptance by the Navy.
Use of this type of bomber will revo-
1utionize aircraft maneuvers at sea, 1t
was said by naval officers. The plane
will be used against surface vessels If
accepted and will be operated from air.
plane carriers. The vertical diving at
tack is a development of the past two
years and the bomber flown this morn
ing was developed after nearly two years
of research work.
Six Dives Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon, McEvoy made
six dives, three witfE-s* bombs and
three with a 500-pound bomb, On the
last of these. he dove from 10000 feet
to within 1900 feet of the ground.
Today, with a 1,00o-pound bomb he
made two dives, the first about 4.0o0
feet and the second little longer, start
ing from 10000 feet.
Following the last dive, he put the
plane through several loops and rolls,
and also few on his back for nearly
quarter of a mile.
The plane is a Martin experimental
torpedo plane, officially designated
''T-5Nd1." Preliminary tests of the ship
last Fall were suspended when 1t was
found that dangerous stresses were de-
veloped during power dives The plane
was strengthened and today's tests
seemed to indicate that the reflex has
been ren1edied.
Reaches 25o-MIIe Speed.
The plane was built at the Glenn L.
Martin factory in Baltimore, and Mr..
Martin was one of the observers when
the test was made. Naval oficials head
ed by Comdr. John Powers, assistant
chief of the Naval Bureau of Aeronau-
tics and pilot Of the Navy flight test
section, also were on hand.
Today's tests were run in the face of
high winds aloft,. and the bomber was

might be made Instruments ON the

McEvoy turned the plane over to Of
ficers of the flight test section at the
Anacostia station following the last
fight this morning, and the plane will
now go through long series Of official
flight tests.
