RECORD FORESEEN
FOR HEAVY PLANES
Aeronautic Association Awaiting
Report on Speeds With Loads
as Demonstrated at Detroit.

Oficials Of the National Aeronautic
Association here are awaiting report
on what apparently is new world rec
ord for heavy transport planes for speed
with loads as result OF a flight made
at Detroit last week by Leroy Manning,
chief pilot for the Ford Motor Co., In
new Ford high-speed tri-motor.
According to informal reports re-
ceived here, Manning raced the big
plane, carrying a lead of 1000 kilo-
grams (4,409.24 pounds, over a 100
kilorneter 1923 miles, course at speed
of 164.4319 miles per hour. The flight
was made in % minutes 40.4 seconds
over closed course extending from the
Ford Airport to the outskirts of Ann
zArbor. Mich, and return. Of1lcial OBJ
servers checked the flight at various
points over the course and at the turn
ing point.
The apparent new record exceeds by
nearly % miles per hour the present
official record Of 1896 miles per hour
made by w. j. Fleming In a Bach tri-
motor at Los Angeles last March.
The plane used by Manning is the
one in which he recently won a race
for multi-engined planes over a 50-mile
closed course at Chicago as a part of
the National Air Race program. His
speed on the short triangular course,
which included much lost time In pylon
turns, averaged 144.24 miles per hour.
The new plane obtains its increase of
speed with the same engine power
through refinement in the design of the
fuselage, streamlining of struts. land
ing gear and wheels, and addition of
cowling rings to the cupboard Wasp
engines.
Manning sailed from New York yes
terday with two Ford planes, one OF the
high-speed type, which will be demon
strated to the British air ministry and
before officials of Rumania, Greece,
CSechoslovakia and other European
countries and Egypt.

There Is today hardly section In all

There are said to be upward Of go

and through legislative appropriation
and in conjunction with local munich

One of the prime factors in the de-

Under State rules, insurance Is
compulsory upon the operator OF COM

ARMY BUYING LAND
FOR NEW AIR FIELD
Grading on Site South of
Boiling Likely to Start
Early Next Year.

Acquisition of land for the new Army
Air Corps field, which is to replace
Boiling Field as the operating base of
the Capital detachment, is proceeding
rapidly, and grading and preparation
Of the landing area should be possible
early in 1881. A major portion Of the
site for the new field, which Is located
south Of the present field. has been
acquired by negotiation with funds pro-
vided by Congress In the last War De-
partment appropriation bill.
Condemnation proceedings probably
will become necessary to acquire some
portions of the land, though 1t Is hoped
that some Of the area still remaining
to be acquired may be purchased by
direct negotiation. Most OF the area
which will be used for the landing field
proper already has been acquired, the
sites still remaining in private hands
being along the lower portion Of the
hills back Of the field, which will be
used for hangers, barracks and other
structures
The site Of the new field extends
from the present field south along the
Potomac River to the vicinity OF the
Naval Research Laboratory and from
the river bank back to the rising ground
to the east. The old steel plant at
Giesboro Point forms q part OF the
ing the plant will be razed and the
ground leveled as a part of the flying
field proper.
Relocation of the railroad spur now
extending to the steel plant and naval
laboratory will be necessary. This
track will be moved back to the hills,
running along them at an elevation Of
between 80 and 40 feet above the river.
The hangers and operations Office of
the new field will be between the rail-
road and landing field. the bar1AAlks
and quarters being above the railroad
on the hillside for the most part.
Much Of the new landing area, which
is from 10 to is feet higher than the
present field level, now is In farm land,
and the purchases were made with the
understanding that the owners would be
permitted to harvest their Fall crops

undertaken, 1t was explained by officers
