FRANCE AGAIN IS
 FACING THE MOST
 SERIOUS CRISIS
HerriOt and Five Other Radical Members Re-
 signed From Cabinet

Paris, Nov 6.-(UP)-Edouard Herriot and five other radical members of the cabinet handed their resignatoins to Premier Cas- ton Doumergue to-day, precipitat- ing a new crisis which may lead to resignation of the salvation gov ernment.
 The resignations, effective only if Doumergue persists in asking for a vote of confidence Thursday on the governments plea for three months credit, came as parliament assembled for a new session which may be momentous for France and all Europe.
 A tumultuous political situation has threatened to end the Doumer- que government and lead to a request for dissolution of parlia- ment, new elections and constitu- tional reform.
 In addition to Herriot, the resig- nations were those of Ministers Berthod, Marchandeau, Bertrand, Queuille and Lamoreaux.
 AS soon as the radical deputies met to-day, Edouard Daladier at tackled the Doumergue reform pro- gram but emphasized that Dou- mergue is not a candidate to-day or tomorrow" for the premeirship into which he was thrust to save" France from political disaster.
 Observers believed, however, that he was certain to resign if the radicals carried out their re- tirement from the cabinet. As a result it was believed a left-wing coalition cabinet would be formed with Herriot and Etienne Flandin jointly in command.
 Doumergue replied to the radi- calls by announcing he would posi- lively return to his retirement and refuse to form new cabinet if the present political truce is broken.
 It appeared that only complete reversal by one side or the other could avoid a crisis tonight or to- roOrrOw

Bridgeport, Conn. - Phone 7-oi4o

Four complete wind tunnel mod els were built and tested during the design period.
 Twelve water testing hulls were constructed.
 There are 1,400 blue, prints to cover one complete SAP airliner. This does not take into account the | 500 research and experimental drawings and countless sketches. The finished design data con-
 sists of 1885 closely typed pages | including only the finished work on aero-dynamic analysis, stress analysis, airplane manual weight analysis and specification. The data contains approximately half a million words or five complete novels.
 That's something to put away and read over when you hear the second of the giant Clipper ships flying overhead, particularly by all residents of Connecticut. Teddy Kaslikowski of Stamford and George Zahorsky of Bridge port flew three place open Travelair plane to Wilkes-Barre.

They made the 22e miles in one hour and twenty-f1ve minutes with thirty mile tan wind.
 With low hanging clouds recent ly Fairfield county folks were treated with the experience oi hearing two high powered planes high in the sky but being unable to see them. They were two Cur tis Falcons, piloted by Army fiiers on cross country flight. The planes were serviced at Molllson Airport.

Wally stepped from the plane at Camden and the co-pilot busy with other duties forgot to check up on him before the plane took off for Newark.

Because we nave been dShcu iH numerable times by Connecticut people for some facts about the S-42, the giant flying boat con- structed at the Sikorsky Aviation plant in Stratford, we dedicate a goodly portion of this weeks sky notes to those men who construct ed the huge boat and then took time to compile these facts.
 On the record flight for greatest payload made last April the S-42 carried 16,6O8 pounds of payload exclusive of crew, fuel, etc. This would. be equivalent to carrying 93 passengers or seven Ford roadsters or two empty Boeing airiiners such as flew in the England to Australia air race.
 There are approximately 57,000 rivets in the outer surface of the wing; 90,OO0 in the exterior sur- face of the hull; and total of ap- proximately 100000 rivets in the complete plane. Placed end to, end, as our friend says, they would reach more than three miles
 There are 2,800 square feet of sheet metal covering the wing and 1,462 square feet covering the hull "a total of 5.262 square feet for the entire ship. Laid fiat on the ground this would cover three city lots.
 During the flight and acceptance tests at the factory, approximately 5,65O miles were flown. This is equivalent to round trip from New York to San Francisco. The sound proofing is made of rub berized, sterilized vermin proofed animal hair.
 Half a million pounds of ballast were loaded in and out of the air. liner by hand during the flight tests at Stratford.
 Over one and quarter miles of control cables are used to control the engines, props, gasoline valves, ailerons and elevators.
 One wing tip float has sufficient Notation to make a comfortable four-place outboard motor boat.
 Over 1,500 square feet of Ameri- can walnut veneer is used in the finish of the passenger compart- ments.
 Slightly over one mile of electric wiring is used in each of the S-42 planes.
 There are almost million and a half detail parts in the S-42, ex- cluding engines and props.
 The anchor weighs 200 pounds. sufficient for a moderate sized yacht.
 Approximately 500 gallons or paint is used to paint one plane, in- cluding primer, lacquer, bituminous paint and dope. This is enough to paint sixty average sized cot tages, one coat each.
 The S-42 can compete with some of our beet citizens for having posed for the cameras. The rec ords show that the shutters clicked for 37b photographs during the progress of construction and tests.
