Test to Determine Best Units
AWes Spectators at Field;
ManeuVers Start Tuesday

FAIRFIELD, Ohio, May 16
u.N.S0.-A breath-taking aerial
Combat demonstration here today
gave the Rockwell Field (Calif0
Ninety-fifth Pursuit Group vic.
tory in the contest to determine
the squadron which will do the
thrill stuff" in the Army Air
Corps maneuvers extending over
Chicago, New York, and New Eng,
land next week.
Capt. Frank monk" Hunter,
leader, took his squad of 1S
stubby fighting planes into the
air at $3.50 and, for 45 minutes,
gave the entire corps on the
ground the thrill of a lifetime.
Hunter is a World War ace, and
used to fighting tactics. His
string Of Is pursuit machines cir.
cled, dove and whipped into intri
cate figures with motors roaring
q 15O-mile-an-hour pace.
The other contestants, made up
Of the Thirty-sixth Squadron of
the First Pursuit Group from Self
ridge Field, Mich, put on show
almost as pretty, but flew in mucn
closer formation, and drew the
comment that tight" maneuvers
were of less value in fighting than
the loose but astoniShingly
smooth work of Hunter and mis-
Rockwell Field outfit.
Today'S activities started the
1881 Army Air Corps maneuvers
off, and were the first of a series
which will mark the weekend
here.
Start Set For Tuesday
Dawn saw the breaking of a
tight ground formation made up
of nearly all of the 672 machines
in the largest single grouping of
airplanes ever brought together
Tor maneuverS.
Scattered units from distant
fields checked in at intervals dur
ing the day. but the major por-
ton of the air armada which will
start Tuesday for Chicago and
the East was ION the line" and
ready to fly.
Propellers were turning early,
and the hills surrounding Day
ton, where a score and more
years ago the Wright brothers
coaxed a motored box kite into
the air, echoed the roar of 300,-
600 horsepower today. The prac-
tice formations pulled out with
clock-like precision, down a long
lane flanked by the noses of
other ships.

DGUisOn BGLLyhOO
VexeS MdcArthur:
N. Y. BOMbin0 Oft

All doubt as to the authority
Of the Army chief Of staff over
the activities Of all branches of
the military was cleared today
with the assumption by General
Macarthur of supreme command
OF the air maneuvers of the At.
lantic seaboard next Saturday.
Without consulting Assistant
Secretary of War Dawson, in
charge Of Army air activities,
Macarthur issued an order
cancelling the night mock bomb
ing of New York Friday and
revealed he was diSpleased with
the "ballyhoo publicity" which
Davison's office had advanced on
the maneuverS.
The maneuvers were first
planned by Dawson during the
term of Gen. Charles P. Sum-
neral as chief-of-staff. Since
the latter retired and Macarthur
took over the Army'S chief uni
formed command, the maneuvers
were being developed and became
known as Mr.. Davison's project.
With typical soldiers emphasis,
General Macarthur declared he
was not responsible for the
''ballyhoo publicity" and added:
"This is no Barnum and
Bailey circus, nor a demOnstra-
tion, but is a problem in mobili-
ZatiOn, and a test for the de-
velOpment Of the air arm as
an adjunct to the coast de-
fenSe. The military value of
the maneuvers is paramount"
NEW YORK, May 16 d.N.SJ.
Protests against the night air
plane raid on New York, sched-
uled for next Friday, were sent
to President Hoover by New
York Socialists and other pacifist
organizations, it was learned to-
day.
Norman Thomas, Socialist
leader here, made the protest
for the Socialist party, Julius
Gerber, secretary of the party,
said.
City officials said they had
not protested the raid.

The Valley And The Railroads

As was to be expected by those who have Kept IN
touch with the transportation problems of the Lower Rio
Grande Valley, this section is mobilzing its forces to
actively combat the granting of the Is per cent horizontal
increase in freight rates petitoned by the railroads OF the
United States.
1t is inconceivable that the Interstate Commerce
Commission should grant the petition, II u inconcelvaple
that the Valley should be asked to carry 2 heavier ireight
overhead than it II now carrying.
For years this section has paid a premium over ana
above the regular freight rates on every pound shipped
by freight into the Valley and on every pound shipped
out of the Valley. This premium, styled a differential, mas
been paid the railroads on the outworn theory that they
were entitled to extra compensation for services rendered
between Brownsville and Robstown.
The differential was granted the first road to build
into this section away back yonder when no one could
even dream that within less than 30 years $4,000 cars Of
fruit and vegetables alone would be leaving this section
by rail, a far cry from the early days when the develop
ment between Robstown and Brownsville was NIL and the
production Of the Valley territory had not even been en-
visioned.
That the grounds on which the differential was
based have passed away with the passing of the years was
proven by the Interstate Commerce Commission itself
when that body gave the Southern Pacific lines permission
to build into the Valley.
Surely il there exists in this section a sufficient
amount of tonnage to Justify competing roads, there can
not possibly remain any sound reason for the paying of
a premium to those roads for the handling Of that tonnage.
There are iustifiable grounds for hoping that this diff
ferential will be ordered removed by the Interstate Com
merce Commission. following the recommendations re-
Gently made by one Of its examiners.
Until this differential i removed. Valley interests
can be expected to view any increase of freight rates with
n iustifiable antipathy and to work against the granting
of such. an increase with all the resources at their com
mand.

BY DIR. MORRIS FIsHBEIN

-
Newspapers repeatedly contain
the stories OF human beings who
have III some manner gotten a
needle into the body and who after
the lapse or many years are sud
denly astounded BY the appearance
o. the needle in the elbow. In the
leg. or az some point far from the
place at which II originally enter
cd. In a recent issue of Hygeia. Vic
tor w. EiSenstein discusses the man
ner in which these accidents occur
and how best TO avoid them.
Not infrequently needles are left
IN clothing and the person who
washes the clothes suddenly feels
the needle penetrate the hand. or
machine needles break and pene-
trate the fingers. Sometimes p0r-
tons OF hypodermic needles break
off during injection: lost needles
Get into feet when people walk
about barefoot. Women and tailors
occasionally have needles penetrate
the adonen while bending over az
ter having been sewing.
There are. no doubt. authentic
eases In which needles have pene-
trated the body and moved on TO
other places. In the vast majority
OF cases the needle seldom moves
more than a few inches. There seem
TO be few. II any. actual records Of
cases in which needles have travel
ed long distances as. for example,
from the finger TO the foot. II IS.
Of course. quite conceivable that a
person may stick a finger and find

A few simple suggestions are Civ

ONCE a't os,


Business has turned the corner Tn
q big way IN one industry-the
pajama trade. 1t Is a pajama sum-
mer. The one regret OF the big steel
electric and similar corporations Is
that they did not manufacture them
during the dull winter.
Accepting paiamas at first as a
beach novelty. the women Of
America are now wearing nothing
else az vacation resorts.
They climb into them In I Q morn
ing and keep them on all day. The
streets OF a summer resort have tile
same general appearance az high
noon as the corridors Of the X. NJ.
C.. IA. and Martha Washington Hotel
have at 7 O. m.
The col7l-y Gems % have gore
pajama crazy. Not SO many years
ago a woman who appeared at a
window in them was thought q hope
less hussie. The police almost clos
cd a musical show once because
Pauline Chase had a chorus In
pajamas. They were not for male
eyes. This summer the police would
only be moved 10 action If they saw
a woman on the streets In street
clothes
10 all m under the head OF
progress. Yesterdays scandal Is to-
days an~aeSthetic.
Still. there 0ughta be a law. The
young and shapely ones look very
chic and charming In them. but
pajamas are no bargain on the
middle-aged ones whose figures are
done fun justice only when covered
by a Navajo blanket.
There comes a time In every
w0man's life when she should look
those new summer fads in the eye
and tell them 10 go TO the devil.
GrandmotheTs should be partlc-
ularly wary OF THIS paJama craze.
When they shuttle through town
In night clothes somebody Is apt
to slip a kerosene lamp In their
hands reprcvinrIy and tell them TO

their death OF asthma.
Paiamas are for all ages indoors
but they belong TO youth on the
street.
Mans first glance around any
summer resort this season gives him
the impression he has stumbled into
a nudist cult. When he reaches the
bathing beach ne knows he has.
