The committee has decided to recruit
a sufficient number Of qualified and
reliable contest officials to serve as
representatives of the association at air
meets in various parts Of the country
where records may be attempted or
competitions flown under sanction of
the national body.
Since the National Aeronautic Asso-
citation is the American representative
of the Federation Aeronautique Inter
rationale, the world aviation record
governing body, the committee has
recognized the need for having each of
its approved representatives also quail
fed as an F. A. l. timer
The Contest mittee. which Is
headed by Orville Wright, has decided
that all contest officials should be re-
quired to pass suitable written ex-
animation. Appointments are to be
made for period of one year and re-
appointments will be based upon a re-
port of each officials activities and his
worth in the work Of the Contest Com
mittee.
The approved officials not only will
represent the NJ A. A. and the F. A. l.,
when necessary, in all official contests
within their respective territories, but
also will be required to report on un-
sanctioned meets and record attempts

The board found that in what might

siderable difference in efficiency shown

was added that progress continues to

to the national convention will authorize such vote.
 There will be vast number of favorte- son candidates. some of them real dark horses in every sense of the word, others merely mentioned for brief moment of rec ognition. We think that Governors Gross and Ely come in this last category. On the other hand Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland is more than favorite son. He is an outstanding candidate. just as much SO as Newton D. Baker of Ohio. Owen Young Franklin D. Roosevelt or Alfred E. Smith, the New York possibilities Ex- Governor Byrd of Virginia. Senator Joe Robinson of Arkansas, Governor White of Ohio or Senator Bulkley of the same state are favorite sons whose impetus might carry them right into the vice presidential nomina- tion.
 Certainly the favorite son booms will pre- vent any outstanding candidate stampeding the convention on the first ballot. But it must be remembered that the democratic party has no such universal favorite as was Smith in 1928. There is need for party leaders to exercise caution, to sound out sentiment in various sections of the nation. Preliminary skirmishing with favorite sons will soon inform the democratic delegates next June where the actual strength lies and to who they must turn for success at the polls in November. We see no cause to groan at the increasing number of favorite sons seeking presidential nomination reeog- hilton. Let them have their moment in the sun. It serves good purpose.

THE DEFEAT OF MIR TILSON
(Hartford Courant)

Regret will be general in Con- necticut that the republicans of the house of representatives did not see it to nominate John c. Tilson as their candidate for speak CT. By his service as majority leader MT Tilson had well earned the nomination, which presumably carries with it the designation of minority leader in the event that the democrats organize the house. inasmuch as Mir Tilson was unani- mously chosen leader in the eau GUS last spring, the republicans would seem to have small reason for refusing him the post now. The decision of the caucus is wholly unmerited.
 Tn all probability. the interests of the party have not been ad- vanced by the change in leader ship. The loyalty of MT Tilson 10 the administration was unquestion- ed. and 1t was more consistent than has been that of many of his col- leagues. The need of an effective spokesman for the administration will be greater during the coming session than in many years past. and Mr Tiison had the experience and the ability to carry out the task. Furthermore, by his frank ness on public questions. he had the confidence of many whose sup. port is. essential to the success Of the republican party. He brought to the councils of the party q llb- eralism that 1t has frequently lacked. and tho victory of Mir Shell will inevitably no regarded as plac. Ing the party more than ever un- dor the domination of the faction represented by Senator Tess of Ohio.

~ Governor Joseph B. Ely for vice-presi- dent. or president in 1852, is the cry that Jouett Shouse. executive chairman of the democratic national committee is sounding after a visit with the Massachusetts exeeu- tive. If it is anything it will be the former. It might not be bad idea for democratic delegates in New England to rally round the banner of Governor Ely next year, but we don't feel that he is any more entitled to such support than our own Governor Cross. While Governor Ely is the first democratic governor the Bay State has had in l 5 years, Governor Cross is the first this state has had in just few more years than that We nominate Governor Cross as Conneetcut's favorite son candidate.

When Japan Lost Its Head"

It developed, when the smoke blew away. that it was not the American Seere- tary of State that lost his head and flew into fulminations, but the government at Tokio. A yellow newspaper in Japan had printed news story purporting to come from a big news agency in this country, representing Secretary Stimson as saying, among various tactless and undplomatic things that the Japanese army had run amuck" and the Japanese government had Host control" and Japan was evidently trying to grab Manchuria.
 It happened that Secretary Stimson had not said these things and the American news agency had not represented him as saying them. Everything on this side of the Pa cific was regular and ethical. The Japanese foreign minister who bawled out the Amer ican Secretary of State before the world on the strength of the fake news yarn in the yellow Japanese paper had to apologize. And to do him credit, he did it rather hand somey. So that's over.
 The upshot of the matter is something like this The world knows now. if it didn't know before, that the Japanese gov ernment's nerves are jumpy. Apparently its conscience has been bothering it, under the weight of almost universal criticism What it blurted out so indignantly happens to be what many intelligent observers every where have been saying privately all along Now Japan has wonderful opportunity to prove them all wrong.
