Indy Sees Practical
Use for GLiderS

A. Lindbergh to these questions
today shed an interesting liett
on some of the major develop
mentS which may be expected in
aviation in the early future.
His answer to the first Iues
ton, in effect, Is that 1t will
permit mass production" Of oil
plane pilots at a greatly lover
cost than the existing one.
His discussion Of glioerS. in
this connection. would also
strongly indicate that they may
well prove to be an important
factor in the training Of pilots
in time Of national emergency.
To the second question, ti>a an.
Swer is that although they afford
q novel form Of sport, their great.
est value, aside from their use in
training schools, viii be their
adoption by colleges.
1T is my belief that ultimately
they will come into use in schools
and universities, not alone fol
practical training. but for the
designing and construction Of air.

TURKISH AVIATOR
 VICTIM OF KURDS
Pilot Has Eyes Goused Out
 After Crash

Stambul, Turkey, July 17 P-One Turkish aviator, brought down by Invading Kurds on Mount Ararat, has suffered a terrible fate at the hands of the infuriated tribesmen for the depredations of his brother airmen on their forces.
 | While other planes dropped bombs around them the .kurds snatched the airman from a plane they had shot down with machine guns and gouged cut the ayiator's eyes. Other Kurds tore the machine to shreds.
 Facing heavy fire from the ma chine guns of the Kurds, believed to have been reinforced, the bombing planes flew 10 a height of 20,000 feet and swooped downward, dropping tons of bombs among the crevices used by the tribesmen as hideouts.
 One band of Kurds descended the side of their mountain retreat and attacked the town of Aralik. Mean while Turkish endorsements ad- vanced across devastated ares where maraudcrs had destroyed 20f villages. The advance was slow since there were no railways or highways to hasten their journey.

BUILDS SPEEDBOAT'
 IN SPARE MOMENTS
"Kayo", 28 Feet Long, Launched
 by Owner, George Bumstead

The results of two years labor on part time were displayed to an ad- miring group of local residents last evening on the Connecticut river in Cromwell, when George E. Bumstead of 4S2 East street launched a 2S foot motor speedboat with carrying ca structed in a garage on East street where Nels J. Nelson built airships two decades ago when aviation was advanced but little beyond infancy and Nelson and the late Charles K. Hamilton were thrilling the public by their proficiency in the art of fly ing.
 The boat was conveyed to Crom- well on a truck and trailer and with appropriate ceremonies she was sent down the ways, chriSened "kayo" by Miss Louise Landwehr of this city, who tapped the bow with bot tie of ammonia out of respect for the prohibition laws, wine or cham pagne being the beverage generally spilled to christen newly launched craft.
 Bumstead is employed as me- chanic by the United Milk Co. and is deeply interested in navigation. The boat, according to experts is exceptionally we'll built and has an attractive appearance. It is named after "kavo" q OeNspa aOer comic supplement character. and will be much in evidence along the Connec- tcut and in Lond Island sound.

OBSERVERS THINK POPE
 MAY TAKE TRIP SOON
Denial Fails to End Rumor That Pontiff May Go to Castle Gan-
 dolfo for Brief Visit.

Vatican City, July Y (UP)-Al- though a semi official statement from the Vatican denied that Pope Plus XI would leave the city for a rest this summer, it was believed possible today that he might shortly pay a brief. unheralded visit to Castel Gandolfo. ono of the estates returned to the papacy under the lateran accords.
 Reports had been circulated in Rome that the pope would spend the summer at Castel Gandolfo, Monte Casino. or the Aosta valley. and the semi official statement was issued to deny them.
 The pope is going nowhere, not even to Castel Gandolfo, which is part of the papal territories, because the palace there is not fit to ac commodate him." the statement said.
 It still was believed. however, that the pope might go to Castel Gan dolfo without warning to inspect the palace and decide what alterations would be needed on the old building to make it a modern summer resi- denCe.
