EAST PLANS FIRST
GLIDER CARNIVAL
Sport, Already Popular in
West, to Be introduced This
Side of AIIeghenieS.

Gliding, which has become one of the
popular sports on the Pacific Coast and
in the Middle West, but which is just
finding a foothold east of the Alleghe-
MES, will make it's formal debut in this
part of the country at glider carnt-
val to be held at Bayside, Long Island,
April IS and 26.
The carnival is expected to bring to-
gether some of the country's foremost
glider pilots and will serve to intro
duce to the Eastern public the various
types of glider flying. The meet Is to
be staged under the auspices of the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce,
the National Glider Association, the
New York Glider Club, the Aero Club
of Long Island and the American
MotorleSs Aviation Corporation.
Invitations have been sent to every
glider club in the East, including sew
eral new glider organizations in the Ma
tional Capital and it is hoped that 100
glider pilots and so gliders and soarers
will be entered in the schedule of IA
events which have been arranged to
cover all types of glider flying from the
novice class to that Of flrst-claSs soarer
pilots.
There are to be four events for du-
ration, the first being for novices in
primary training planes, which will be
open to any one not holding a glider
pilots license; the second for holders Of
third class licenses in primary trainers;
the third to second class glider pilots in
primary gliders and in secondary gliders,
and the fourth for first calss pilots in
primary trainers, secondary gliders and
soarers.
Two events are scheduled for women
and there will be contests for accuracy
Of landing in the various classes and
trials for the various glider pilots Ii
censes. Special exhibition glider flights
will be given by DR.. Wolfgang Klem-
perer, holder of glider pilots license

u. S. AIR LINES EXPANDING
SOUTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS
Agreements With Other Systems for Inter-
change of Travel and Facilities
Announced by 2 Companies.

Though che agreement deals only with
passenger, express and nominal ship
mentS aboard the planes Of the two
lines, negotiations are in progress look
ing to the expediting of through mail.
The agreement is in pursuance of the
program sponsored by President Hoo
yer that American enterprises in South
America should expand with successful
business organizations already operat-
ing there.
Other Agreements Made.
The New York, Rio and Buenos Aires
Lines have negotiated operating agree

air transport systems in South America
the Chilean National Air Line Of
Chile and Aero Lloyd Boliviana, which
has q national airline monopoly in Be-
livia, it has been announced.
The companies will exchange pas
sengers, express and certain classes of
mail. Through the Chilean agreement,
the American line is to have access to
every important airport In that country
over the 1,700 miles of airways flown
by the Chilean line.
The alliance with Aero Lloyd, which
operates 1000 miles of scheduled air
way service in Bolivia, it is said, pro-
vides access into the central sections
of the South American continent to
American airlines. Schedules on the
combined route provide direct air serv-
ice from the United States to La Paz,
the capital of Bolivia, and to prac-
tically every industrial city in that
country, it was announced.
These agreements increase the COM

Further intrenchment Of United
States air transportation In South
America has been revealed during the
past few days in announcements by
Pan-American Anyways and the New
York, Rio and Buenos Aires Lines Of
operating agreements which have been
negotiated with some of the largest air
transport system in South America.
What once was regarded as one Of the
greatest barriers to United States de-
velopment of air transportation in the
Southern Continent has been Surmount-
ed by an operating agreement between
Pan-American Always and Scadta, the
pioneer German line, which holds IRON
clad operating concessions in Colombia.
Scadta is one of the Oldest If not the
Oldest transport system in existence,
having been operated continuously since
1919. The Scadta system now comprises
5000 miles Of airways and other services
and formerly stood as a bulwark against
foreign development in that part Of the
New World.
Under the new agreement, Pan
American Always officials have an
nounced here, the Scadta network will
operate In cooperation with the Pan
American system, with which it will

$4,000 Miles Operating.
The Pan-American system now in
cludes $4,000 miles of operating lines,
which girdle the Caribbean, extend from
Texas through Mexico 70 the Panama
Canal, from Miami to Paramaribo, in
Dutch Guiana, on the East Coast of
South America, and down the direct
West Coast route along South America
to Santiago, Chile. and thence across
the Andes to Buenos Aires and Monte
video, carrying United States and Latin
American mail and passengers.
The agreement just signed, Pan
American officials announced, provides
for the free interchange of traff1c, ex-
pediting through travel and shipping of
baggage and goods. The companies have
agreed to share the use of all airports,
seaplane anchorages and airwayS facili-
ties.
The Pan-American radio system, one
of the most highly developed CONNER
cial aviation communications system,
will cooperate with Scadta in the ex-
tension of the Pan-American radio
service to Scadta's planes and routes.
Wave lengths, operating hours and me-
neurological aids will be organized to be
Of the greatest mutual benefit.

The race is to be open to man and
woman pilots of any nationality and to
airplanes of any style or make, domestic
or foreign, the only requirement being
that they be powered with Cirrus or
Ensign engines. The engines may be
mounted for direct or geared drive, and
superchargers may be used.
Total flying time over the course will
determine the winners, but each lap
from control point to control point will
constitute a race in itself Technical
rules are to be in the hands of the
National Aeronautic Association contest
committee.
In announcing the race the sponsors
declared that it is desired to promote
interest in aviation as a means Of trans
portation, in which speed is a major
factor, and that the race, therefore,
shall be as nearly as possible a free-for-
all, go-as-you-please event, with victory
rewarding the pilot who not only nurses
his plane to best advantage but exer-
cises the best judgment in making his
pace and selecting his route between
control stops.

TEST DEFENSE TACTICS

England's air maneuvers this year
will consist of defensive tactics over sea
trade routes, it has been reported, and
the aircraft carriers and heavy coast
patrol flying boats will play the major
part. 1t will be assumed that hostile
aircraft carriers are holding the trade
lanes and the problem will be to de-
stroy them, together with their flying
equipment.
Last year the English air fleet ma
neuvered principally to defend London
from air raids Americas air ma
neuvers, soon to get under way, Will be
the defense of San Francisco by air
from an attacking sea force, it being
assumed that the Panama Canal has
been badly damaged in an enemy air
raid, cutting off the Atlantic feet, and
the enemy having taken possession of
the southern part of California.

A CANADIAN TARIFF BOOST

We-or that part of us having seats in Congress-having passed the Hawley-Smoo tariff boost, there can not be strong objections made to the probable action of the Cana dian Parliament in meeting in special session this week for the purpose of doing to us what we did to the Canadians.
 The probability is that an emer- gency tariff of Is per cent increase will be placed on articles, especially those manufactured in the United States.
 The emergency tariff is to con- tinue until Premier Richard B. Ben nett returns from the British 1m- perial and Economic Conference, be- ginning September 30. After that. at a regular session of the Canadian Parliament, something permanent will be done about tariff increases.
 We'll Canada is our best customer. She is quite peeved at our latest tariff raise and intends to take re- venge. As previously stated, we are in no position to find fault. Whether her tariff is raised now or later all we can say is that Canada is in a mood to fight back on the American plan. Some of our manufacturers, who sell neat morsel of goods in Canada, will not like the tariff war. All that $ likely to happen is re- duction in foreign trade to good customer and the creation of more intimate trade relations between Canada and Europe, particularly Britain.

RETIRING MIR. FE,NH

Congressman Tenn himself las made it easy for the Republican organization to ditch him. It is not so easy to ditch a statesman when he has made an outstanding reputa- ton in Congress, when he has been greatly in the public eye, when every voter knows what he has done, what he stands for, and when the popular estimate is that he has been credit to his district and the nation.
 MT. Fenn, after having been in Congress for ten years, has had a record which nobody knows much about, not even his constituents. The best that his friends can say for him is that he always voted right" which is to say that he voted ac- cording to the conservative dictates of his party.
 Until, during the last session Of Congress, MT. Fenn took hold of the reapportionment bill and saw 1t through, his name was not attached to any nationwide legislation of mo- ment; he never said a piece in Con- gress which the newspaper boys thought worthy of putting on the wires; he never got into a stirring argument with anybody; he never attracted attention. Even his own constituents in the first district Of Connecticut scarcely heard word of what he was doing,
 In other words. he attended the meetings of the House without caus- ing anyone to know he was there.
 He was the antithesis of Nr Lonergan, who, when he represented this district during the Democratic days, occasionally had something to say and did his talking in pointed manner. MT. Lonergan was the type of congressman the public warns up to, and if he had been Republican he would have continued serving until he tottered with age.

PROSPERITY AND WORDS

 What are the same editors, or their successors, doing now? Most of them, it appears, are swallowing the "explanations' of the Cabinet members, hook. line and sinker. h. stead of showing a tendency to criticize the Hoover administration in the manner they criticized the Wilson administration, they are be- ing adopts at trying to help the ad- ministration out of it's distrcssf1l experience.
