iary and Intermediate fields. airports and landing fields in the country
 The greatest number of munich pal -afrports is in California, and that state also leads in the num- Der of commercial fields. Texas is second in the number of municipal airports. The greatest total of ports and landing fields. of all types is in California, which has 175. Texas is second with 141.. and Pennsylva- nia is third with 103. New York is fourth in line, with 90 airports and fields of various types. The. state embracing the lowest number of fields is Delaware, with 4. The District of Columbia has three fields, these including one commer- cial, one army and one naval station,
 Airway development progressed normally through the year, accord ing to the survey. Almost half the total mail route mileage is now lighted. Installation of radio broad cast stations is. progressing at a normal rate of about 10 each year. There Is now one of these stations for every 75,000 square miles of the United States. In lighting the tendency to increase the space of the beacons continued. n -927 there was a beacon operating over every. 3 and 1-2 miles of airway. At the end of 1881, the average distance was found to be II miles. Tn the last two years beacons have been added at the rate of only one for every 13 miles of newly lighted airway.
 Foreign Trodc
 The export trade of the American aircraft industry felt in 1881 the full force of the worldwide aeon omci depression and dropped to the position which is held two years ago, the survey report states. Of the total production of airplanes, aircraft engines and parts. only 12 per cent was sold abroad in 1881. as compared with IT per cent in 1890, and II per cent in 1929.
 Considering airplanes alone, the drop was from 10 per cent export ed in" 1930 to 6 per cent in l 93i Airplanes. which in, 1880 formed 55 per cent of~thee aviation exports, in 931 made. .up only slightly more than one-third of the total exports. Aircraft engines and accessories accounted each for another one third of the. 1891 total.
 In all, the American aircraft industry exported 140 planes, val ued at $1,812.827. Engines. access sories and parts combined with the planes themselves, gave a valua- tion of s4,S10,5S1 to the industry's exports last year. The figures com pare with 321 planes with valua- ton of s4.819.669 exported in 193of Engines. accessories and parts add. ed to the pdanes gave total value of $8.S02,635 to the industry's ex- port products in 1890.

used constantly in automobile bat teries. But the government pays between $700 and $1,00O a month to supply the senators with bottled drinking water. For six months last year, the senate spent S637.50 on 51 cases of appolinaris water alone, though it was in session only one month of that time.
 Here is a typical months order for bottled water; 20 cases White Rock, 27 cases Mountain Valley water, 10 cases Capon Spring wa ter, 10@ cases Kaiak water.
 Not only that, but if anyone is interested, he can find among the bills paid out by the senate dis bursting officer one of Acme Plat ing & Manufacturing Co, for Nickel plating five bottle openers for clock rooms at 50 cents each, total $2.60.
 Senators all use blotters when signing letters at their desks in the senate chamber. But it is an old custom that each senator's desk be equipped with little box con- taining fine sand used years ago for plotting. So last year the sen- ate spent $41.S3 plus freight to have a consignment of the little glass boxes shipped from the fac tory.
 In 19S0 the senate ushered in the Christmas season by ordering on December 16 from the Lake Erie Chemical Cos, two gas riot pistols at $50 each and two dozen gas riot pistol shells at $40 doz- CT, presumably to be used on any groups of the unemployed who be- caIie too persistent in their ap- peals for help from congress.

the city convention.
 TOnight's slate will include 29 delegates. made up as follows: 1st ward, delegates; second ward, 5: third ward, 5; fourth ward, 6; fifth ward, z.
 These 29 delegates will, at a city convention to be held a couple of days after the primaries, elect delegates to the state convention. Waterbury will send 36 delegates to the state convention with the entire representation from this city it is expected, pledged to ex-Gov- ernor Alfred E. Smith of New York in his quest for the presidential nomination.
 Other large cities of the state will send Smith delegations to the state convention, also, and as a result of this layout it was con- fidently felt by the Connecticut Smith leaders today that the dele- gation to the national convention, elected by the state convention, would be entirely Smith with but little or no chance of Roosevelt supporters getting into the group.
 "As far as Waterbury is con- cerned." said Chairman Crary this morning. Smith delegates to the national convention will be sup ported. I feel that other delega- tions will be large enough to con- trol the state convention and send Connecticut's delegation to Chicago wholly for Smith,"
 Fights in the state convention for state central committe posts are also anticipated. It is now under- stood that Richard sJoyce Smith, who was unsuccessful proposed for the public utilities commission by Governor Wilbur l.. Cross. will be pushed forward as Q candidate to unseat Dr E. c. Dolan of Manches- ter on the state central committee. A fight will be made by the "Old Guard" to unseat many present "New Guard" members on the cen- trai committee on the claim that they have deserted ex-Governor Smith despite his fine showing in Connecticut four years ago.

heavy weather, and moored along side the Pennsylvania railroad terminal at Little Creek, a secluded and seldom frequented waterway down the bay.
 Captain Kenneth Whiting, com mandant of the Norfolk air station flew out over the bay Sunday morning, supposedly to locate the Maroon. He returned at about the same time as did the Maroon. With Mrs Richard, he motored out to the little inlet, walled by scraggy windblown pine trees and shifting dry sand dunes, and brought Cur tis into town.
 Curtis talked at length with Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage. U. S. N. retired, second negotiator The third is the Very Rev Dean Harold Dobson-Peacock, of fash ionable Christ Episcopal church, who was busy with his church duties all day. Whiting motored back to the Maroon, and went aboard.
 F. H. Lackman, master of the yacht, and his mate spent some time tinkering with the little light at the top of the radio mast, ad- justing it so that 1t would switch off and .on rapidly.
 At D. m., the Maroon steamed out into the bay. Whiting was seen in town last night, and it was believed he directed the yacht to the vicinity of the naval base, up the bay to remain until Curtis could rejoin it.
 Indications were that the next heard of the yacht would be its formal return after another cruise.
 It was suggested that Curtis at least hoped to establish physical contact, at sea, with accredited
 representatives of the supposed kidnapers.
 A special press conference last night revealed, only that the negotiators were seeking non-in- | terference in their "plans for the l return of Colonel Lindbergh's son."
 This phrasing was much stronger
 than direct statements in which
 Dean Peacock substituted the word
 work" for negotiations" in dis
 cussing the latest activities. Bruce, the Elmira capitalist, formerly was a Portsmouth, Va, | banker. He revealed before the MdICUH SldEtCu AtS piCSShl SIuioC ! that he had been in tight as drum" in the Lindbergh negotia- tions for weeks. He has driven Curtis to Hopewell to see Lind bergh and has been consulted at every move. That he, rather than Peacock or Burrage, was aboard the yacht was interesting. He is quiet, slight, gray eyed, with griz- zled brown hair. He puffs with enjoyment a small, much burned corncob pipe. His manner is frank and self contained.
 Curtis wife is i'll. largely due to the hundreds of inquiries made to her regarding Curtis movements. Hopewell, N. J.. April 25.-(UP) State police Investigating the Kidnapping of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh's son revealed today they had failed to obtain the slight est clue in re-check of the prem ises which included use of blood hounds.
 Colonel H. Norman Schwartz kopf, police head. issued lengthy bulletin which was summed up by the statement:
 we have received no inf0rma- ton to the effect that new con- tuct has been made with the kid- napers or that the boy will be home shortly"
 Police also established to their satisfaction that just prior 10 the Kidnapping there were no suspicious

Roosevelt Loses One

New York. April 25-UP)- Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's much criticized forgotten man" speech arose again to plauge him when Thomas L. Chadbourne, na- tionally known democrat. made public a letter declaring to support the governor for the presidential nomination.
 Chadbourne's letter. answering a request of Homer $. Cummings, Connecticut leader, said he always liked Frank" but said he decided to oppose him when the governor attacked the reconstruction finance corporation as being designed for banks and railroads and not for the little fellow"

Cummings Heard From

Stamford, April 25-UP)-Ho- mer S. Cummings, one of the na- tional Roosevelt for president" generals, issued statement today urging reelection of Archibald Me- Neil of Bridgeport as democratic national committeeman.
 Tt would be an unwise and un- gracious act to deny him the re- election which he has earned" Cummings declared.
 The statement was regarded in political circles as widening the breach between Cummings and the "old guard" democrats with whom he had, prior to the current cam- jaign, been associated. David lE. Fitzgerald of New Haven, "old guard" chief, is candidate for Me- Neil's post and a strong Smith worker.
 Cummings pointed out McNeil is fin harmony with the forces that are dominent in the national com mittee and will continue to be a strong factor in securing for Con- necticut the recognition to which the state is entitled"

Bitter Penn Fight

Harrisburg, Pa.. April 25--(UP) One of the most bitter contests in the campaigns of Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D.. Roosevelt for del- egates at the democratic national convention will be determined to- morrow in the Pennsylvania pri- maries.
 Pennsylvania is considered one of the pivotal states in movement to make Governor Roosevelt of New York the democratic presiden- tial nominee. Roosevelt already has more than 230 instructed dele gates from various states and the addition of a majority of Penn sylvania's 76 would materially in- crease his strength.
 A 'stop Roosevelt" campaign has been underway. Algred E.. Smith. titular head of the party, has entered the fray, running against Roosevelt on the democratic ticket for popular presidential preference.
 Roosevelt supporters were claim ing. 70 delegate votes from Penn sylvania today. Smiths friends were claiming a majority but not mentioning figures.
