Gatherings on Local and National
Questions.

Problems of airplane transportation
from both the local and national stand
points and the orderly development and
control of such transportation will be
considered during the Fall at series
OF eight regional conferences, in which
the National Capital will participate, to
be held under auspices of the Chamber
OF Commerce Of the United States. The
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce will
cooperate.
The first of the conferences will be
held in Philadelphia September % and
"a and the second at Boston September
Is and IS. States to be represented at
the Philadelphia conference are Della
ware, Maryland New Jersey, New York,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia
and the District of Columbia.
November Conferences.
Conference also have been scheduled
for Chicago November 5 and 6 and at
Minneapolis November and g. Atlanta
and Dallas will be conference scenes in
November and Rocky Mountain and
Pacific Coast conferences will be held
in December.
In addition to the aviation problems,
highway and traffic matters will be
considered
Representatives and delegates from
the Chambers of Commerce and buSi-
ness organizations in the cities and
States of each region will take part in
the conferences. Inquiries from many
of these organizations on the various
phases of traffic and of aviation prob
lens prompted the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States to arrange
for the eight assemblages. Public
traffic officials and authorities and avi-
alton experts will attend the sessions
and participate in the discussions.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1930-09-07

The conferences are designed pri-
marty to enable business organizations
and business interests of the country to
approach and consider their local and
regional street and highway and their
air tarffic problems from the standpoint
of q national perspective, and to IA
cilitate the exchange of views and ex-
perience in these matters from both q
regional and Nation wide viewpoint.
Features of Development.
The features in the improvement and
development of air transportation that
are to be considered include:
/. Further sound development Of air
transportation.
2. Uniform interstate licensing leg
islation.
3. Intrastate regulation of gliders.
4. Further development of air navi-
CATION facilities.
S. Development of proper State laws
and regulations affecting airports.
THE regional conferences, in addition
to facilitating the exchange of views on
the part of business and other organi-
cations In the different States" 1t was
announced "are intended to promote q
larger measure of cooperation with the
public authorities in the solution OF
vital problems relating to these trans
portation agencies.
Increasing use of both modes OF
travel are bringing practical questions
such as uniform legislation, efficient
use of ground and thoroughfares. proper
regulatory measures and long-term
planning to the doors of virtually all
States and communities. The hope is to
aid in finding effective ways and means
of solving them for each State and
municipality"

A|RPLANE CARRIER
BIDS ARE OPENED.
Cost, Including Machinery,
Expected to Run as High
as 100000.

The first bids ever opened by the
Navy Department for construction of
an airplane carrier were opened during
the past week in the presence of the
Secretary of the Navy and other naval
officials. Three shipbuilding companies
submitted bids for tbs ship. which is ex-
pected to csot $19,000,O0O. including
machinery.
The vessel, now known only as Air
craft Carrier No. 4, will be the first ever
designed by this country for the pur-
pose. The present aircraft carriers now
used by the Navy were not designed tor
this purpose originally. They include
the Saratoga and Lexington, designed
originally as battle cruisers, and the
Langley, formerly collier.

ARMY SOON TO TEST
3! ARCHY DIRECTORS
Two New Anti-Aircraft Com
putting Machines Are of
Foreign Make.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, September 6.-Three
new anti-aircraft directors, one Ameri-
can and two of foreign manufacture
will be tested at Aberdeen by Regular
Army officers between now and NoVem-
Der /, according to an announcement
by the Sd Corps Area headquarters
here. The two of foreign make were
manufactured In accordance with
United States Army specifications.
The anti-aircraft director is an elab-
crate and complicated computing ma
chine which, when sighted at the tar
get, determines automatically the range
and direction at which the guns must
be pointed in order that the proiectile
and enemy airplane will reach the same
point in space at the same instant.
Capt G. H Morgan, Ordance De-
partment, of the fire control design
section, Frankfort Arsenal. In AN inter-
view. emphasized the difficult nature
of this problem. He pointed out that
at ordinary firing ranges OF to miles
the a1rplane would travel about 1900
feet during the interval of time CORE
spending to the flight of the projectile
from the gun. He stated further that
the projectile was acted upon during
Its flight by wind, non-uniform atmos-
pheric density and drift, any one Of
which would be sufficient to cause
miss If not properly corrected.
The anti-aircraft director must de-
termine continuously and without loss
of time the point in advance of the
target at which the guns must be aimed
and the effect of all extraneous condi-
lions on the flight of the projectile.
It is very properly regarded as the heart
of the modern anti-aircraft defense
system.
The development OF the new Ord
nance Department director was started
at Frankfort Arsenal in 1924 and has
been continuously in progress since that
time. Each year has witnessed impor-
tant changes and improvements the
value of which has been proved con-
clusively in the annual firing tests at
Aberdeen Proving Ground. 1t Is ex-
pected that the present model will
prove to be more efficient than any of
the previous types.
The tests this Fall are to be carried
out under the. direction of the chiefs
of ordnance, Coast Artillery, Air Corps
and Corps of Engineers. A number of
new guns and various auxiliary equip
ment will be tested in addition to the
directors. R

JULY AIRPLANE SALES
EXCEED PRODUCTION

.Airplane sales and deliveries during
the month of July more than kept pace
with production during the month. in-
dicating that the industry is on Q
Sounder basis than for many months,
according to a statistical report issued
by the Aeronautical Chamber Of Com
merce.
The report shows that during the
month 244 commercial and military
airplanes were produced and that 282
were sold and delivered. During the
first seven months of 1880, the report
shows, the industry produced 1,721 air.
planes and delivered 1892, showing Q
steady depletion of the overproduction
of 1929.
Fifty-six major aircraft manufacture
ers reported production Of 181 COM
mercial airplanes during July, with Q
total value, without motors, of $834,0
Deliveries of commercial planes in July
totaled 2l8. with value, less motors,
of $1121 $50.
Military production totaled SO air.
planes in July, with value. without
motors, of $1,107. 1880. Delivery Of
military airplanes on contract closely
paralieled production, with 90 ships
put into Government service during the
month.
Seventeen major engine n1anufac-
turers reported production of 1874 COM
mercial and military engines, valued at
$1,458,797 in July Deliveries were
slightly under production, with $40
units sold. The commercial market
absorbed 152 of the engines delivered,
while 16S were produced for the COM
mercial market. Military engine pro-
duction rose 10 per cent over June fig-
ures. with q total OF 168, valued ct
$915,663.

evident that the radio reports had
mace the trip possible. The fog
was still rolling out of the deepest
nolloWS. Our passage of the noun
tain country had been very neatly
timed. The Sullen ridges made
way for more Sullen valleys below
and the skies were gloomy above.
Ridge after ridge was passed and
f1nally, over the broad Shenan-
doah Valley, the skies began to
break away and there were
patches of blue.
Thousands of feet above the
bombers, flying above the clouds,
was a cleaning silver plane, one
OF the Navy ships ON the way to
AnacoStia from Chicago. He dis
appeared at intervals behind the
clouds, but when the next blue
space came, there he was flying
steadily on.
The Blue Ridge was crossed not
Tar below Harper's Ferry and soon
the Potomac, wide and shallow,
scraping along over knife edges
OF upturned rock, was below. The
water was crystal clear and no
detail of the bottom was hidden
for miles. The river channel be-
came narrower and more tortuous
and the river plunged down at
Great Falls into the gorges. The
Capitol began to take form
through the haze ahead and.
three hours and A minutes out
of Dayton, the bombers landed at
Boiling Field.
Corp. Shilling sat up and pulled
on his parachute. Kirkpatrick
climbed out through the floor. The
pilots entered notations in their
log books. They climbed down
hopefully and hiked off to the
post exchange for food while the
planes were fueled. They came
back a moment later. The ex-
change was closed; there was no
food. They devoted moment to
approaching Army life and then
prepared to continue on to Lang
ley Field, supper and bed. The
radio picked up the word that
weather was good down the line
They drew in their belts and
showed off.

BOILING FLIGHT SURGEON
SENT TO LANGLEY FIELD
Maj. Robert A. Hale, Rated as
Junior Pilot, Ordered to

surgeons.
Maj Hale is a native of Texas, where
he was born July 4, 1891. He was
graduated from the Army Medical
School in 1917, from the Medical Field
Service School In 1921, from the Army
Medical School, advanced course, in
1922 and was an honor graduate of the
School of Aviation Medicine In 1923.
He graduated from the Air Corps
Primary Flying School in 1925. Before
joining the Army he had decided on a
medical career and was graduated from

CHUTES TO LOWER
A|RPLANES TESTED
Pilot Uniniured as . Craft
Lands in Tree and on
Top of Airport.

Tests of a new type Of airplane para
chute which Is designed to lower safely
to earth airplaneS which have been in
capacitated by motor failure, damage.
broken controls, or which have passed
out of cor. d of the pilot, or become
lost in fog, were completed during the
past week at Detroit, according to re-
ports received here.
On two tests the pilot Vance BreeSe,
put the plane into spin at an aitl.
tude of $500 feet and then descended
in safety through use of the parachute.
On the first drop the plane landed
in q tree under conditions approximate
ing those which would be found In
emergency use. Only minor damage
was sustained by the plane. On the
second test the plane landed on the
airport, with Slight damage to the lower
wing and landing gear. Breese re-
manned in the plane during both drops
and was not even shaken up.
Designed to Prevent Crashes.
Use of the parachute is designed to
prevent many crashes which are due TO
inability of the pilot to land the plane
safely at its normal flying speed after
motor failure, loss of control or struc-
tural damage to the plane.
The parachute is released by the
pilot. When the release Is pulled a
small pilot parachute opens. This small
parachute is sufficient to right the plane
from any maneuver before 1t drags out
the main 60-foot parachute. The big
chute is intended to land the plane at
speed of about is miles per hour,
which would permit a landing under al
most any conditions without major
damage to plane or crew.
The tests were witnessed by repre-
sentatives of leading airlines, aviation
schools, airmail contractors, insurance
companies, airplane manufacturing con-
Germs and the Department of Commerce
and Army and Navy.
Apparatus Operated Automatically.
The plane used in the experiment was
q two-place, open-cockpit biplane with
an Ox-5 engine, THE whole plane weigh
ing 800 pounds The experimental
parachute and equipment as installed
weighed less than 100 pounds. The
parachute was carried in a tube built
beneath the fuselageb the shroud lines
running over the tail surfaces and be-
ing fastened to four fittings on the CEN
ter section of the top wing. On future
installations the device will be carried
built into the top Of the fuSelage.
The apparatus is automatic in opera
ton, no attention to parachute or con-
trolls being necessary after the release
cord is pulled. The release cord pulls
off cap, and the pilot chute is thrown
out by the spring of tension cables at
tached to the large chute. The small
parachute. in addition to righting the
plane, pulls out the large chute.
Arrangements will be made to cut of
al
the release cord is pulled. Damage to
the airplane landin~ with the para
chute, it is believed, will be limited to
breaking of the undercarriage and pos
sibly the propeller, even under the
worse conditions.
