AIR TRANSPORT
] SAFETY INCREASES
Department Of Commerce
Survey Shows 6 Fatal Acct
dents in $500, 1928 Miles.

Thk safety of air transport operations
in the United States continued to in
crease during the first six months of
1890, according to q survey completed
BY the Department of Commerce, Sero-
nautical branch, and made public yester-
day in semi-annuGl report by Clar-
ence M. Young, Assistant Secretary of
Commerce for Aeronautics.
The survey shows total of SO, 669, 928
miles flown by civil aircraft in the
United States between January and
June in scheduled air transport and
miscellaneous operations, an increase Of
nearly 12,500,000 mikes over the same
period in 1929.
During this increase in flying time
the number of miles flown per fatal
accident in scheduled air transport OPP
erations increased nearly three times,
while the miles flown per accident more
than doubled.
Only Six Fatal Accidents.
In scheduled air transport operations
during the first half Of this year, which
included the carrying of passengers,
mail and express over fixed routes on
definite schedules, there we're 1902 ,728
miles flown, with only six fatal acci-
dents, or 2,817,121 miles per accident.
In 1929 during the same period there
were 9,20l 1913 miles flown and nine
fatal accidents, or one for each 1,022, 371
miles.
~ There were A accidents of all kinds,
Including those which resulted in no
injuries to passengers or personnel, or
one for each 384,152 miles, during the
first six months Of this year. During
the same period last year there were 81
accidents, or one for each 1901 miles.
The largest cause of accidents during
the six months, as in the past, was
failure of the human element personnel
errors resulting in STA per cent Of all
the accidents. A total of 17.65 per
cent of the accidents was attributed to
miscellaneous causes, 1902 per cent to
power plant failures and 6.78 per cent
TO airplane failures. The miscellaneous
: accidents included those caused by air.
port and terrain troubles, weather, dark
ness and other causes There were only
TAI per cent Of accidents for which
causes could not be determined, the
smallest percentage for this classical
ton in the history Of the semi-annual
accident reports.
Report Made by Board.
The accident report Is based on the
findings of the accident board OF the
Aeronautics Branch, composed OF two
expert pilots, flight surgeon, an aero
nautical engineer, a lawyer versed in
air law and a statistician.
This board investigates and deter
mines the causes of all aircraft acci-
dents; analyses all accidents reported
from the field and reduces them to
their causes, expressed In percentage.
The statistics gathered from this analy-
sis, Mr.. Young said, have proved to be
of great value, particularly in pointing
TO WAYS and means Of decreasing the
number Of aircraft accidents.

1O2 OKLAHOMANS
ON TRIAL MONDAY
U. S. Charges Huge Group,
Including Officials, With
Liquor Traffic.
BY the Associated Press.

OKLAHOMA CITY, January u.s.
One hundred and two Oklahomans, in
GLIDING several county officials, whom
the Government charges we're members
of a well-organized liquor ring which
dominated the rich oil fields of Potta-
watomie County for three years, are
scheduled to 60 to trial Monday in Fed
eral Court.
Among the defendants are County
Attorney Ralph Pitman,. Frank Fox,
former sheriff, and several other coun-
ty ofilcerS.
Long Friction in Background.
The trial will be a climax to long
drawn friction between Federal pro-
hibition enforcement agents and coun-
ty officers.
Pitman has charged that the Gov
eminent prosecution was inspired by
his posecution of w. M. Thomson,
Federal prohibition agent. and jeff D.
Harris, q deputized aid, on murder
charges after the killing Of two farmers
near TecumSeh last July 4. Harris was
convicted in State Court and sentenced
to so years In prison. The Government
took jurisdiction in Thomason's case
and he has not been tried.
The Governments bill of particulars
charges that the purported liquor or
ganization awarded concessions to re-
tailers, afforded protection, set prices
and kept out competition.
Conspiracy Is Traced.
The conspiracy had its inception, the
Government charges. In q meeting at
Tecumseh in 1926. The influx Of thou
sands of new residents into the oil
fields provided large market for Illicit
beverages. The purported ring, termed
the line" by the Government. sold
thousands of gallons of liquor, it was
claimed. and dispensed beer with al
most as much freedom as soft drinks.
Whisky was sold for $40 q gallon and
beer for IS q case, the Government bill
said, while the price of alcohol was gov
erned by supply and demand.
Concessions were sold at prices rang
ing from SIS to $50 q week, the Gov

tributed among the purported ring
members in proportion to the impor
lance Of their connection.

LITTLE AMERICA, Antarctica, jan
uary 25.-Our front yard was full Of
whales this morning. Going over to
breakfast the familiar far-away and
irregular pufiing sound of the whales
blowing was heard. AS 1t was the first
time they had been heard from camp
1t was certain they must be near.
Cracks have been opening up on the
bay for some time and there Is one
large crack running west and beginning
Sure enough, the feathery spouts OF
whales could be seen there against the
gliStening background of pressure ice.
In short time nearly every one in
camp was on his way down to the OPEN
ing. Starting in q small crack not far
out from the cape at the north side OF
VeE-Sur-Mer Inlet 1t opened up quickly
and at the pressure ridge was about 80
feet wide. 1t seemed to be full Of
whales.
Not Of Killer Type.
Their shining heads, black on top
and white underneath, shot far out OF
the water as they came to the surface
and blew, literally standing on their
tails. How many there were 1t is diff
cult to say, but there were at least 10
shooting out Of the opening, sometimes
seven or eight together. They were not
killers, but seemed more like the hnners
for which the bay is noted.
1t was an astonishing sight. The day
was beautifully clear, with q cold wind
from the southwest which drove the
temperature down below zero last night
Tor the frst time in many weeks. Thin
ice which had formed in the crack had
been broken by the whales and Law In

The visitors were representative of all

sightseers which moved about the floor,
forming about some favorite model only
to disperse and form again as some new
attraction drew attention.
A few additional models will be on
display when the show reopens Mon

PRATT ASKS POLICE CHANGES 49,.
WITH MORE STRINGENT LAWS

of a special Police Department. garage
and repair shop to be in. charge OF q
civilian superintendent of motor vehicles
and to contain space enough for the
storage of stolen and other automobiles
recovered by the department. Replace
ment of much of the present motor
cycle equipment with light cars is also
urged. l.B ~y
No mention is made of the purchase
flirted with this idea last year, and an
item for one got into the departmental
estimates, but it was later quietly
eliminated,
The report complains of an acute
shortage OF space in the housing of the
various elements of the department and
recommends that this be taken care of
by the construction of a new central
police building to house the admins
trative offices, the detective bureau, the
trafilc bureau, the school Of instruction,
with Storeroom space for valuable prop
erty coming into the possession of the
department.. The areas now assigned
to the first and sixth precincts should
be combined and served from the new
building.
Wherever possible the force should be
placed on an 8-hour basis, the report
urges. Additional reserve units should
also be established, fully equipped as
TO transportation and prepared to
render immediate service in case OF
accidents, fires and the like.
1T is realized" the report concludes,
that the improvements recommended
cannot be accomplished In q day or a
year, but believe 1t Is not too much
10 ask that the development and ex-
pansion recommended as necessary be
made fully effective within the next
Ave years. Too often are the police
held responsible for results over which
they have no control. With insufficient
personnel, with inadequate equipment,
and lacking in q system of criminal
procedure that Is prompt and certain,
1t Is apparent that consistently effec-
tive police work is goal diflcult to OBJ
tain"

MRS. HOOVER LEADS
HOMES DEDICATION
so Children Stand as Ground
Is Broken for EpiscopaIian
Institution.

While SO children Of the Episcopal
Home for Children watched. Mrs. Her
bert Hoover dug the first shovelful of
dirt at the ground-breaking exercises
yesterday afternoon for their new home
at Nebraska and Utah avenues. The
youngsters greeted the First Lady with
enthusiastic flag waving, sang song for
her and contributed an unexpected fea-
ture Of their own to the ceremonies in
the presentation of an immense bouquet
Of pink roses. Little Miss Dorothy
Robey made the presentation. Clutched
in her hand. also, was the tiny Amer
lean nag which she had waved in
greeting. Mrs. Hoover, after accepting
the gift. held Dorothy's flag for her as
she turned a shovel of dirt on behalf of
her little playmates in the home. The
youngster performed her rite with
painstaking care to copy the gestures
she had seen Mrs. Hoover make when
she tossed away her shovel Of dirt.
Boy Is Given Shovel.
Mrs. Hoover then gave the shovel to
one OF the boys, George Smith, in order
that he might assist on behalf of the
boys Of the home.
Right Rev. James T. Freeman, Bishop
Of Washington, pronounced the invoca-
ton and greeted the gathering of on
cials and citizens who attended the cere-
monies at the invitation of the board
OF lady mans gers and the incorporators
Of which the bishop is chairman.
There Is no project closer to the
hearts OF the people of Washington
than the care of little children" said
the bishop, land in this home the
needy children are cared for regardless
Of religious afiliations. Is it any won
der We are rejoicing in the accomplish
ment of our purpose to raise sufiicient
funds to begin work at once upon this
new and adequate group of buildings
In which to carry on this work? The
old home is totally inadequate. Its
equipment is obsolete. We now have
in hand one-third of the total amount
needed for the. new home and we hope
to have It ready for occupancy by
next Fall"
Mrs. Hoover Gets Task.
After closing his remarks the bishop
handed the shovel to Mrs. Hoover VINO
took charge from that point. She made
AAO AOAAAAaA oRCCCAAs SROkC
to the children, saying: you and
will always remember this day and
when the new home Is built / shall
come and see you in it." Then, nind-
ful Of the cold weather, she added: ITS
cold, children, turn up your collars
just like this" And she demonstrated
by turning the collar of her own coat
high about her ears.
Instantly so little collars went up
about so young faces.
MRS. Hoover was in brown from tip
to toe. A close hitting brown hat
matched perfectly her fur coat and
shoes. The coat is the one given her
recently by Louisiana trappers and is
unusually rich in tone.
Mrs. David Meade Lea, chairman Of
the board Of lady managers, greeted
MRS. Hoover. The latter was accom-
panied by Miss Susan L. Dyer, who Is

VISIT CAMP OF BYRD:
ONE PERMITS A FRIENDLY PAT
Commander Leans Over 3O-Foot Pool in Breaking Ice
and Taps Giant With Ski-Stick.

The largest of these pools was where
the crack ended in q mass of pressure
and the huge uplifted cakes and dis
torted figures Of broken ice made q mag
nif1cent background.
Gather With Cameras.
It was on the edge of this pool that
men gathered excitedly taking pictures
and gazing at the great shining crea-
lures with amazement.
They were so near that as they came
up one could reach out and touch them.
Admiral Byrd leaned over and tapped
one on the snout with his ski stick.
They blew almost in our faces and
those on the leeward side were almost
knocked down by the aroma. The water
blown by the whales exhalations shot
up in shower of spray and the double
valve in back of the head could be
seen fully expanded. Then there was a
deep soughing inhalation and the valve
SNAPPED shut with a clapping sound Just
before 1t reached the water. The me-
chanical action of this valve was most
interesting.
Ten Feet Into the Air.
Sometimes the whales merely lifted
themselves to the surface so that their
long, pointed heads stuck but q few
feet from the water, or they fioated lag
lily up in a partially upright position
and then sank back again. But occas-
ionally one coming from farther below
would shoot straight up In the air, 10
feet Of his big hulk above the water
and seem to hang that way for q mo-
ment before sinking down again as
straight as he rose. When two or three
did this at once so that we had to look
up at them the effect was startling.
Imagine pool 80 feet wide with men on
both sides of 1t and three whales stick
ing ten feet out Of the water between
them. we wonder II any one has ever
been % fortunate.

BY the Associated Press.
AS ured that all possible means of
reScuc would be modified II the Byrd
Antarctic expedition should find itself
unable to leave Little America before
the Winter season sets in with March,
Washington off1cials last night relaxed
their anxiety. They temporarily left
matters to nature and the ability OF
Rear Admiral Byrd and his comrades
to care for themselves under hardship.
Norwegian whalers, who are most IA
miliar with the vagaries Of nature in
the vicinity of the South Pole, had ex-
pressed confidence that the unprec-
edented ice pack now blocking en-
trance to the Ross Sea would break
up before long and permit the Byrd
expedition ships to reach the party.
Through official channels to the State
Department, also, came assurances
that If these vessels should be unable
to penetrate the ice at the latest safe
time to begin the crossing OF the Bar
rier. one Of the powerful ice-breaking
Norwegian factory ships would pillow
its way through and bring the ex-
plorerS out.
The Coast Guard is ready to send its
Ice breaker Northland, 2,O5O-ton
vessel especially constructed to force
It's way through 1ce-locked seas, on q
rescue expedition II necessary. Capt.
B. M. Chiswell, assistant commandant,
said that II Admiral Byrd'S position
were found to be precariouS, Admiral
Billiard would dispatch the Northland
without hesitation.
Capt. Clarence s. Kempff, Navy
photographer, expressed, the opinion
that the Northland could get through
to bring the party out II 1t reached the
South Polar regions before Winter. He
said that in order to serve what Is APP
parently Admiral Byrd's need, it would
have to start in the near future.
