ALLAY FEARS
Of AIR ATTACK

Nervous persons who are afraid
planes will drop on their heads
during the annual aerial maneu-
vers next week have nothing to
fear, the War Department an
nounced today.
While the greatest air armada
ever assembled in this country,
672 planes, will attack" the
largest cities of the East and
Middle West, the attacks will be
carried on from such an altitude
that the planes would have
plenty of distance to glide to
safety in event of a forced landing.
War Department officials pointed
out.
The planes start assembling at
Dayton. Ohio. next week, and the
great fleet will sweep on to Chi
cago, flying from there East and
winding up the maneuvers in
Washington, May 80.

(. DAYS To CD
Half Dozen Reports Still Due
as Funds Near Exhaustion;
Personnel Now Being Cut
BY THEODORE TILLER


Thirteen more working days to
go; funds practically exhausted;
personnel cut as befits a passing
out organization; final touches
on remaining reportS-that, To-
day, is the Wickersham Commits
sion, the formal name being the
National Commission on Law o.
servance and Enforcement.
At headquarters today an es-
innate could not be given of
what money. If any, will be left
out of the $500,0O0 fund when
the commission expires June 80.
Funds Are Glimmering
Should work beyond June 30
be necessary expenses would have
to come from private sources,
not now in sight. In view of the
MumpuS in Congress over the
Wickersham prohibition report,
and the high cost of the investi.
cation, disclosed when an addi.
tiOnal $25O,OOO appropriation. be.
came necessary, no further finan-
Cial assistance is expected from
Capitol Hill.
The commission split badly on
the prohibition issue, but it is
denied that there are, any new
rfits in it's membership, as ru,
mored. Although a half dozen
. reports are yet to come on
various phases of law enforce
ment the big task was over when
the divided report on prohibition
was submitted. That report puz-
zled Congress and the country.
and it has had scores of inter
pretations by vets, drys and
fifty-fifty folk.
Workers Lose Out
AS the commission passes there
will go out a small army of field
investigators, advisory committees
and volunteer assistants.
Altogether. during the two
years of it's existence, expenses
have dug deep into the $780, 900
money chest and the bottom now
is sparsely covered.
