BY DONALD G. BOLLES.
Associated Press Staff Writer.

NEW YORK. April 10.-The aristo-
Gratis of aviation met as a united band
for the first time last night. They were
drawn together by gratitude and ad-
miration for kindly, grayhaired man
with a scientific brain, who helped
them safely across the Atlantic, to a
meeting unique in history.
Call the role of aviators who have
dared the dangers of a transatlantic
fight and lived to tell of it-with few
exceptions. it will be list Ct those who
honored DR.. James H. Kimball, as
sistant meteorologist of the United
States Weather Bureau.
Lindbergh. Byrd, Balchen, FitZ-
maurice, Earhart, Lott, Elder, Yancey,
Courtney and Chamberlin, with the Ma
ton as radio audience, voiced their
tribute over the radio to DR.. Kimball
and from throughout the United States
and abroad others who could not be
present felicitated him in messages.
Hoover Lauds DIR. KimbalI.
President Hoover expressed his warm
appreciation of his signal services in
promoting the success of aviation in
general and transatlantic flying in par
ticular." The City Of New York con-
1erTeQ lJS distinguished service medal
and presented him with a scroll, recit-
ing his work.
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd pre-
sented him with a small silk flag that
he and his companions carried in their
flights over the ocean and the Atlantic.
His voice shaking with emotion, DR..
Kimbsll remained scientist in his
acknowledgment.
Acknowledgment Is Quoted.
I'VE know that with reasonably ia
vorable weather and an otherwise safe
guarded project the transatlantic flight
can be made. Three courses have been
proven. There are pilots and naviga-
tors who have the spirit, skill and
strength to endure the terrific ordeal.
Several types of ships have shown their
sufficiency No longer is there much
doubt of motors, fuel or oil"
He closed with dream:
Byrd whispered it to me before the
tumult had subsidized On his return from
Paris; I've heard it from each Of you,
and yesterday Lindbergh and I toyed
with it-a crossing at $4,000 feet, far
above an unfriendly ocean. at 300 miles
an hour, no fog, no ice, and glorious
sky overhead-well, not yet, but we
hope, soon."

DAIRY INDUSTRY
REQUIRES MORE
GOOD PRODUCERS
BY GEORGE l.. WINRIGHT
Assistant Farm Advisor

At the fourth annual dairy con-
ference, held recently at the Col
lege of Agriculture, all phases of
the dairy industry were discussed.
It was found that there is sur
plus of practically every product of
the dairy industry with the excep-
ton of high producing. healthy
dairy cattle. AT the conferences
held during the past three years it
has been recommended to dairymen
that they raise more healthy heifers
with ability to produce heavily.
There has been a question in the
minds of some dairymen as to
whether or not this is still good
practice, in view of the existing sur
plus of dairy products. The dairy
industry, however, must be consid-
cred on a longtime basis. Dairy
products will continue to be needed
in large quantities. It was there
fore felt at this conference that
this particular point of dairy
management should continue to be
stressed Those present expressed
the opinion that those dairymen
who take advantage of known meth
DDS to increase the efficiency of
their herds will be better able to
withstand this period OF low prices.
and will be in a better position to
take advantage of more favorable
prices when they arrive in the fu-
ture.
These practices of good manage
ment include sound breeding pro-
gram, using good sires whose daugh-
ters will have inherited ability to
produce milk and butterfat in large
quantities. Efficient feeding can
not be over-emphasized and should
be considered both from the stand
point of proper selection and bal
ancing of feeds, and the use of these
feeds according to the individual
needs of the COWS as indicated by
Their records of production.
Low producing cows should be
culled at this time. in spite of low
beef prices A knowledge of the
producing ability OF each animal i'll
the herd is necessary to the sue
cessful operation of the above prac-
tices. Disease control continues tc
be one Of the essential practices in
sound dairy management.
Some of the conclusions adopted
unanimously by those present at the
conference and bearing on these
points are as follows.
Economy of production continues
10 be an important problem in sue
cessful dairying. The Agricultural
Extension program stressing econo-
my OF production is approved. II
is recommended that special en-
phasis be placed in COW testing and
culling.
we recommend to dairymen that
the present time is more opportune
Tor the sale of boarder cows than
at any probable time in the near
future. The forecast of probable
beef prices indicates a lowering
level. In view of the lowered prices
of dairy products and probable de-
clining price oi beef, dairymen
therefore would do we'll to Gull herds
heavily at this time.
Attention is called to the fact
! that there is no surplus OF young,
healthy dairy ANIMALS. We recon-
mend that those methods of dairy
management be stressed which have
been demonstrated to be effective in
the building up and maintaining of
T healthy herds of cattle"

ARCHITECTS PLAN
NATIONAL UNITY
Profession Threatened by
Economic Conditions, Is
View Here.

Declaring that an economic stu
alton exists in the United States which
threatens the survival of architecture
as a profession. the American Institute
of Architects, through its headquarters
here, today announced plans to unity
the architects Of the Nation under its
leadership.
Frank C. Baldwin, secretary of the
institute, in making public here the
reports of two unihcation committees
of the body stated that there are now
more than 10000 persons in the coun-
try who have been trained in architec-
ture, and who are enrolled chiefly in
independent societies.
The. reports of the committees. which
were submitted by Edwin Berstrom of
Los Angeles representing the institute
and Robert H. Orr of Los Angeles, act
ing for State societies, strongly recon-
mended unification. saying that State
vice organizations Of architects should
be incorporated in every State with
local branches. and should work with
the chapters of the institute, Baldwin
said Formation of architectural clubs
and Of student clubs also was urged.
Establishments General.
"Readjustments and new relations
are taking place throughout the whole
world" Baldwin pointed out. when
sterilization finally comes in the United
States, the architectural profession, and
the individual architect, will be con-
fronted with conditions of practice and
with forms of competition not en-
countered before.
THE opinion of many architects is
that the profession of architecture, at
least In the United States must be pre-
pared to meet the new conditions If it
is to survive as profession, and If 1t
intends to maintain intellectual COM
mand in the building industry.
Because they are individualists
architects have so far failed to unite as
one professional group under national
leadership. At present there are a
multiplicity Of independent State. city
and county organizations of architects
and of craftsmen and other types of
local societies.
Necessity Of Unifying.
THE architect profession is too small,
too widely scattered, and too sensitive
to economic phases and social changes
to support multitudinous isolated or
CARNATIONS. The imperative necessity
Of uniication Of the profession under
national leadership is apparent"
There are active State organizations
Of architects in New York, pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois.

Columbia River

DR.. Elwood Mead, chief q OF the

no opportunity to make it clear that
power development is to be de-
termining factor in all future pro-
jects that call for any considerable
storage Of water. Speaking in berkel-
ey, CAL, a few day ago, he declared
that development of the Colorado
River project would establish safe
precedent for relief elsewhere in
the West and particularly for "the
future development of the water and
power resources of the Columbia
River, project greater than that of
the Colorado"
Everyone concerend for the re-
clamation of the Columbia River
Basin will appreciate the significance
Of DR.. Mead's attitude. In the same
Berkeley speech he assured his aud
fence that Congress has justified IT,
self in backing the Boulder Dam
project, because the power incidentally
produced in conserving the water for
irrigation purpose will pay to the
government in twenty-five years
every dollar expended Seattle
