EUROPE URGED TO END

Sharp Terms of Some Pacts Breed

Deputy Says.

ny the Associated Press.
ROME, March 10.-Dissolution OF all
armed alliances in Europe was urged
today by Gaetano Polverelli, presenting
the 1881 budget in the Chamber of
Deputies.
Europe" he said, "has three funda-
mental vilizations-French, italian
and German-all of which have the
right to live on plane of moral parity.
To conciliate them is a highly meri-
torious work"
Praising Italy's part in the recent
naval accord with France and England,
the deputy emphasized the importance
to peace of uniting all national in
terests.
"To exclude any one would be mis-
take" he said. ITO unite two against
a third would initiate against the in
terestS of peace. The sharp terms OF
some treaties. the weight of indemni-
ties and war debts, the division of Eu-
rope into armed and unarmed nations
and the reconstruction Of military all
liances have long held Europe agitated
in a feeling of insecurity.
Profound unrest remains and many
steps must yet be taken for effective
rapprochement among the peoples OF
this continent"

Flying Gas Tank Hops
NONSTOP FLIGHT TESTS EAKER's TRANSPORT PLANE.

BY the Associated Press.
LONG BEACH MUNICIPAL AIR
PORT, March 10.-Capt. Ira Eaker
noted Army pilot, hoped or here al
253 am, Pacific standard time, today
for the Atlantic Coast on Nonstop
fight to test his Army transport air.
plane. He said eInphatically he would
not attempt to better the transconti-
mental flight record.
Two previous attempts to get of the
ground failed when the ship veered to
the right under the heavy load of gaso-
line, threatening to carry Eaker into
nearby hangers. He solved his difficulty
by forcing more weight on the rigid
tail wheel and shot straight away into
the night.
Il am carrying 486 gallons of gasoline, "
he said, land I am going TO fly just as
far as that will take me. Maybe will
get to Dayton, Ohio, or / might get as
far as washington. There is an ex-
tremely slight possibility that I might
get as far as New York.
Gas Use to Be Checked.
Under no circumstances ar 1 going
to try for anybodys record. The pur-
pose of the flight is to test the high
speed of this transport airplane. We
are trying to find a ship that will be
able to keep up with pursuit sirplanes.
We have no planes that ara capable
of doing this now.
ION this flight we will check the con-
sumption of gasoline, the performance
of the motor, what high speed it is
capable of attaining and the perform
ance of the ship as a whole. After the
flight the ship will be returned to Rock
well Field, San Diego"
Capt. Eaker, who was a member Of
the crew of the Army plane Question
Mark, when that ship established a
world refueling endurance flight record
over Los Angeles more than two years
ago, brought his plane here from San
Diego yesterday.
Joe Nikrent, official timer of the Ma
tional Aeronautic Association, recorded
the takeoff at 2:l3 am. So in case
Capt. Eaker is favored by tail winds and
reaches New York and in better time
than Capt Frank M. Hawks record OF
IL hours IS minutes seconds, the new
mark would stand. The Army flyer es-
timated the gasoline consumption of his
plane at 48 gallons an hour and pointed
out it hardly would be possible for him
to reach New York in 10 hours.

PERSONNEL OF SIGN
GROUP COMPLETED

|. Edwards Named to Help
Draft Law.

With the appointments Of Edward
Thomas, assistant corporation counsel,
and Capt. L. Edwards, personnel officer
at police headquarters, the committee
to draw up sign regulations for the Dis
trict Of Columbia was completed today.
Mr.. Thomas and Capt Edwards, it
was said, should prove very valuable
aids to the committee in view of their
long experience in District affairs. The
service of Mr.. Thomas on the COM
mittee was desired in view of the legal
interpretations which must be applied.
Capt. Edwards is thoroughly familiar
with the laws and regulations governing
the Police Department, which will have
an important part in enforcing the new
sign regulations in each precinct.
1t was expected the committee would
hold its first meeting early this week.
Maj. Donald A. Dawson, assistant Engi-
neer Commissioner, who heads the COM
mittee. will refer the tentative set of
regulations already drawn up to the
building inspector for revision and
further study. He will report back later
to the full committee. In addition to
the aforementioned persons, including

with fire extinguishers and shot liquid
over it, but there were no flames and
the action was merely precautionary.
So great is the fuel load in the swift
monoplane that the flier could carry no
baggage and managed only to take a
few sandwiches and a vacuum bottle of
coffee. The plal.e is virtually a flying
gasoline tank Extra fuel tanks in the
cockpit augmented the wing supply. 1t
is a Lockheed higf1-wing, all-metal craft
with 425 horsepower motor equipped
with a supercharger, which makes it
possible for the engine to develop TOO
horsepower.
The supercharger also gives Capt.
Eaker ceiling of 10000 feet, and he
indicated he would fly at high levels if
he found winds there favorable. A
skeleton type landing gear adds to the
ships speed, which Lockheed engineers
estimate at a top of 225 miles an hour
and 100 for cruising.
The craft, a special type ship, was
purchased recently by the Army and
ferried from Boiling Field, Washington,
to San Diego for the flight and other
tests. Capt. Eaker said the ship with
its yellow wings, silver fuselage and
red, white and blue tail, was designed
purely as transport plane.
