The airport demonstration at
the, Army show, opening today
at the War College, promises
to be a very interesting affair.
For instance, today a group Of
bombers and pursuit planes
will pass in review before the
spectators and then the forma-
ton will break up, with the
pursuit planes attacking the
more cumbersome bombers ex-
actly as in time of war. Lieu
tenant Giovanolli will give an
exhibition of balloon bursting
and three of our local officers
from Boiling Field will give a
display of acrobatics after max
ing a sham attack on a column
of marching infantry. Lieu
tenants Davies, Smith and
Buckman are the boys who will
have the thrills for the on
lockers. There'll be a show
both in the afternoon and the
evening and you can just bet
everyone will get their moneys
worth of thrills. No one
should miss it. Many visiting
ships landed at Boiling yester-
day, some of which carried
participants of the show. Chief
among these was Captain
Street, who came in from
Wright Field in a Pts. He'll
fly at night. giving an imita-
ton of a comet. Lieutenant
Brand flew down to Langley to
pick UP a party Of four for
Boiling Field. He used one CT
the Fords. .Lieutenants Birnn
and Giovanolli both took off
for Boston, Brian in an OBJ
and the latter in an O-25. He
came back late in the after
noon. Lieutenant Willis made
Cleveland and back in an at
tack plane. Captain Elmen-
dorf headed for Buffalo with a
pursuit. Captain Adler return
ed from Wright with his A-3
Lieutenant Pugh finished his
trip from the West coast by
landing here yesterday in his

.SC0V|[LE SP|Ll|MUS|C|ANS CUT
DEATH PROBED IS EXPECTED

AS was indicated in the ex-
elusive announcement in The
Washington Times yesterday, a
final settlement of the long.
standing dispute between Wash
ington motion picture theater
owners and musicians is to be
reached at a conference in New
York today.
A committee of local musicians
will attend the Gotham confer.
ence and will present proposals
for ending the war" It is be.
lieved that these proposals will
embody plans for drastic reduc-
tions of orchestras in the larger
theaterS here and elimination of
the musicians in smaller houses.
Orchestra Cut Due
The local delegation to the
New York gathering will be
headed by A. C. Hayden, presi-
dent Of the Musicians Protective
Union, and John E. Birdsell, ex.
ecutive secretary. They are EN-.
powered, it is understood, to en-
ter into any agreement the COM
mittee deems best for settlement
of the row.
Although Birdsell refused last
night to make public any of the
plans to be discussed at New
York today, it is generally be-
lieved that acceptance of the pro-
posals would mean reduction of
the number of musicians in local
houses from lot to 81.
o. X. With New York
The orchestras at the Fox and
Palace, it is believed, would be
cut from approximately SO to 81,
while the Rialto, Columbia, Metro
politan and R-K-O-Keith theaters
would retain only organists. It
is believed that these proposals
are in line with the wishes of the
New York management, and will
be accepted.
