LICENSES GIVEN
. 18,069 PILOTS

There are now 1909 pilots and
7,439 aircraft holding licenses
from the Department of Com
merce, Col. Clarence M. Young,
assistant secretary of aeronau-
tics, announced today following
the semi-annual' tabulations.
Pilot licenses have increased,
but aircraft have shown a ten
dency to decrease of late, due,
perhaps, to increasingly string
ent regulations for licensing, the
figures show.
The licenses for pilots include
7,021 of transport grade, 1876
limited commercial, 35 industrial
and 9,637 private pilots. The
licensed pilots include $40 women,
420 of whom are private fliers.
Californa, New York and Illi-
noise lead the States in both
licensed aircraft and pilots.
The report showed 81 licensed
and 1927 unlicensed gliders, with
261 gliding pilot licenses.

DRY FIGHT GOES
INTO NATIONAL
CAMPAIGN

With adjournment of Congress,
the struggle over the liquor 'Ssue
was transferred today to the
Presidential and Congressional
campaigns.
In spite of the desire of ele-
ments in both parties to make
economic questions paramount,
the drive for repeal of the Eight
eenth amendment and modifica-
tion of the Volstead act promised
to loom large before the cleo
torate.
The course to be followed by
the organized dry forces in COM
batting this drive has not been
definitely determined. An active
fight will be waged to elect dry
members of Senate and House.
Whether the full weight of the
Anti.Saloon League and affiliated
organizations will be thrown be-
hind President Hoover may not
be decided for several weeks.
Little headway has been made
in lining up the drys behind
third party candidate. So far,
such out tanding prohibition
champions as Senator Borah (RD
of Idaho and Senator Sheppard
CD of Texas, have displayed no
interest in the efforts to draft
them to head a prohibition re-
volt.
The attitude of the wet organi-
cations in the Presidential con.
test will be definitely outlined
within the next few weeks. These
organizations have displayed
strong leanings toward Governor
Roosevelt, of New York, the
Democratic standard bearer.
