compared with the vast extent of
Soviet territories, particularly in view
of the feeble development of the
roads. Some outlying regions depend
entirely upon airplanes for regular
transportation service.
1.-THE great need for further ex-
tension of the network of airplanes
and the mastering of Civil Aviation
technique is stressed at every turn
by leaders of Soviet industry, trade
and agriculture.
"Today's celebration, which follows
an extensive educational campaign,
focuses the attention of the entire
country upon aviation needs and
tends to stimulate greatly the further
development of civil flying" E
Air Show In Moscow
Aviation Day was observed in Mos
COW by an Air Show at the Airdrome,
including stunt flying, parachute
jumping, etc. The large Civil Air

changes and presented them for
the delegates consideration. These
changes were thoroughly discussed
point by point.
Point one, which in the first
Ordinance draft provides for tho
unemployed relief to be given to
married and single workers, re-
ceived the greatest attention from
the delegates. Organization rep
resentatives appointed a spokes-
man who claimed the floor asking
for changes in the amounts Of
funds to be included in the Ordi-
nance, after Herbert Benjamin re-
ported for the Program Committee.

Relief Ordinance which is to be
presented to the Board of Alder
men and Board of Estimate for
immediate enactment, will be
printed in an early issue of the
Daily Worker.
Bob Minor, Communist Party
Mayorality candidate, invited to
speak to the conference received a
standing ovation as he walked into
the hall. La Guardia, Fusion
Candidate and Solomon, Socialist
candidate for Mayor were also in
vited but did not appear. In his
speech, Minor pointed out that the
bosses refuse to give the workers
Unemployment Insurance and in.
stead "they make us beg for RS
lief at the Home Relief Bureaus
to make our lives as miserable az
possible"
He showed several methods by
which the money for the Workers
Relief Ordinance could be raiseds
by eliminating tax-exempt real es~
tate property; by steep up-grade
income tax; and by a reduction Of
wages of officials to that of an
ordinary worker.
Local and 3 of the Workers
Committee on Unemployment were
present at the conference despite
the ultimatum of their Central Ex-
ecutive body against any united
front actions. After exposing the
tactics of the Socialist Party Lead
ership tactics against unity, Minor
concluded by saying: 81 want to
hold out the hand of comradeship
to the workers of the Socialist
Party who are here today at this
conference"

Soviet Air Transport
Shows Great
Gains
By NATHANIEL BuCHWALp

MOSCOW, U. S. S. r., Aug. Is (By
Cable).-On the occasion of the tenth
anniversary of the Aviation and
Chemical Society, millions of workers
and peasants of the Soviet Union to-
day observed Civil Aviation Day.
Celebrations took place in the cities,
towns and villages, including mass
meetings, parades and air shows. The
Soviet Press devoted much space to
the problems of civil aviation, point
ing out the impressive successes scored
in the last few years, yet stressing
the need for further extension and
mastery of technique. An editorial
in "Pravda" today states:
"So-called 'Civil' Aviation under
capitalism serves the needs of war,
exploitation and enslavement. In
the hands of the capitalists and land
lords, the air fleet is weapon for
oppression of the toiling masses, an
instrument of imperialist robbery. 1t

 Plane Hits Fence WAS TAKING OFF FOR NONSTOP BAGDAD HOP Plane Swerves from Run day at Floyd Bennett
 Field, Catchet Fire

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Sept. D. Gen. Francesca Def'lnedo, one Of Italy's formost airmen, met a flaming death at dawn when his huge plane crashed and burned up at the start of take-off for Baghdad, Persia.
 Its tremendous load of gaso- line caused the plane to sWerve from the runway and hit fence at the Floyd Bonnet air field.
 In a second it was a roaring mass of flames. The flier was burned beyond recognition. The spectacle became a scene of terror The spectators shuddered and cov- cred their eyes as they saw the flames engulf the airman.
 Air field officials said the flier had jumped and attempted to crawl away before the fire reached him. His body was found near the charred and blackened plane Flames held back attempts to 'ef- feet a rescue. Michael Hicks Beadll, Navy machinist mate, was badly burned about the face try ing 10 reach DePinedo with fire extirguisher.
 Was We'll Prepared
 In talking to reporters before starting his takeoff, the famous flier, with a smile, told of the gadges he had placed in his plane to aidIin his flight He had equip ped he cockpit with device which would sound siren and slap water in his face if the ship got of it's course while he was sleepint
 He aso had five balloon kites with which to signal ships if he was for ted own at sea. His man. ner was lsupremely confident as he took his place in the cockpit for the taketff.

VANISHED VETS MAY BE FORGED
 TO REMAIN DRY
Liquor on Hand But Drop in Ocean Compared to
 Demand Before War

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. D. Even if the United States repeals the Eighteenth Amendment with in a few months, the Vets face a dilemma over the question of getting enough real whiskey to relieve parched threats suffering an 13-year long drought.
 There is 4,5O0,OO0 gallons of bonded goods on hand with which to slake a Prohibition 167,- 100000 gallon thirst. That rough ly is the situation that the Unit ed States faces if Prohibition re- peal becomes effective this year.
 Bonded warehouses hold some thing more than 18,0OO, ,000 gallons of whiskey and the stock grows daily, but the law requires that it must be aged four years before marketing. The supply is being consumed with a rapidity that threatens to reduce it substantially through the operations of the new law permitting physicians to pre- scribe it in any quantity.
 It is clear that the supply of do- mestic whiskey will prove only a small fraction in the expected con- sumption. Imported liquors must pay customs duty that virtually doubles the price. One solution is mixing whiskey with pure grain alcohol

 This is the first time airplane mail has ever been carried under Postal authority from the Inter for of Alaska to the States and was authorized because of the fact that mail service between the In- terior and Southwestern points and the States was wiped out for one week due to the disabling of the steamer Aleutian, Mir Peck said.
 Mrs. Peck and the two boys will leave on the Princess Louise for Seattle where the latter will enter school for the coming year. They have spent the summer with MT. Peck at Lake Harding. forty miles from Fairbanks.
 While a little squally weather was encountered on the trip down, it was made in good time and was one of the pleasantest trips have made by plane from Fairbanks" Mir. Peck said.

TWO OBSTACLES
 CLOUD WEEKEND FOR MIRA HEADS
Rift in Soft Coal Negotia. tions and Ford's Hold
 out Mars Progress

WASHINGTON, D. c. Sept. 2.- A new rift in soft coal negotia- tions joined the reticent H e nry Ford to become twin disturbers of NRA's first weekend rest. Con- ferences on labor contracts be- tween the Appalachian bituminous coal operators and the United Mine Workers of Am eric a are at complete standstill that the advice of Gen. Hugh s. John son is again sought by the dis putants.
 But in the case of Ford, NRA officials simply waited for word from him. He has until Tuesday to accept the automobile code or do business without the Blue Eagle.
 Both problems were paralleled by two events which were hailed as recovery, achievements. The $12,000, 100000 oil code became ef- fective today, was the first. The second was an announcement by the American Federation of Labor that it attributed to the MIRA pro- gram a $5,000,O00,000 increase in the nations purchasing power-an amount sufficient to raise retails IT per cent.
 The present tie-up of the coal industry clouded hopes of putting a written agreement into Presi- dent Roosevelt's hands Tuesday and revived talk that the code may be imposed upon the soft coal in dustry.
