 Local attorneys also term the now move on Attorney Hamilton's part as q rare instance.
 The case revolves around n $17.- 900 Judgment returned against Frank and Anna DiBlasi of this city. The suit was originally brought by Attorney J. Warren Upson. administrator of the estate of Francisco DiBlasi. mother of Frank. Since the judgment was entered by Judge Frederick NJ. Peasley last year and upheld by the supreme court. U new plain tiff in place of Attorney Upson has been substituted with approval of the superior court. The new plaintiff is Salvador DiBlasi, father of Frank and husband of Fran cesca.

 Salvatore was living in Italy where he had gone with Francesca in 1921. He was not in this country for trial Of the case but did come here after the will was pro- duced in probate court here. Sal vatoro qualified as executor and was 50 appointed by Judge Dem his J. Slavin.
 exccutor, Attorney Hamilton, ap- bearing for Frank and Anna Di- Blnsi during the trial here, filed ton for new trial on the grounds tiff's original complaint was not admitted in the trial.
 1t is on the Issue raised by At torney Hamilton in his latest move that the hearing before Judge Jennings was held to-day.
 Attorney James E. Mcknight and Attorney Richardson T. Bron- son, objected to the granting of Il new trial at this mornings hearing on the grounds that the defendants hhad ample time to present neccs- sary defense at the last trial.

Civilian Air Force
 Planned For U. 5.
Training of 100000 Pilots Next Few Years Will Form
 Unorganized Reserve for Army

officials and a bill to authorize the program has been introduced by Senator Hiram Bingham, which Is expected to be passed shortly by congress-.
 Not only will this program of training a reserve force of air pilots insure the safety of our national defense, but it will also act as a great stimulant to the development of the aviation industry, points out the article saying that "its effect on the industry will be immedi- ate. First, the bill provides that, so far as possible, civilian pilots will be employed for training the stu dents, thus at once giving employ mcnt to hundreds or even thou sands of competent civilian pilots who are now unemployed. Second. 1t provides that the secretary, of war is authorized to contract with private training schools for the services of their pilots, thus bring ing the days of prosperity back to the schools which have been langu- ishlng during the depression.
 s. "The fact that tho secretary of war is authorized and directed to provide for the construction mad procurement of such aircraft and equipment as may be necessary to carry out the program will mean a tremendous demand for aircraft during the five year program, the employment of many thousands of aircraft workers and the consump. ton of q tremendous amount, of raw materials" continues the story. And best of all. as an an- swer to tho inquiries of uneosy taxpayers, the cost of the whole program will be almost tnsignifl- cant when compared to the many unnecessary expenditures now be- ing made for our military estab- lishment.
 Tt is difficult to imagine any foreign power, no matter how greedy and envious of the United States, that would be foolish enough to attack country having one hundred thousand trained pilots ready to enter actively into aerial military service or advanced training on notice of twenty-four hours. It is the answer to our prayer for an adequate national alr defense, and 1t should spell reas- surance to those of our citizens who have feared and deplored past conditions in our air service"
