NEW YORK, Oct. 3 G.N.S).
The legal fight of Mrs. Reginald
c. Vanderbilt to regain custody
of her 10-year-old daughter,
Gloria, today was adjourned un-
til Friday because of the illness
of the wife of Nathan Burkan,
counsel for Mrs. Vanderbilt.
Announcement of the adjourn
ment was made after Mrs. Van

swept into the Supreme Court
room with her sister, Mrs. Con-
suelo Thaw.
Mrs. Morgan to Testify
Their mother, Mrs. Laura Kill
patrick Morgan, had been SEIZED
uled to take the stand and tell
the court why she thought her
daughter unfit to rear little
Gloria.
When they filed out of the
court room the two young sisters
passed their mother. Mrs. Thaw
smiled slightly and nodded. Mrs.
Vanderbilt kept her eyes straight
ahead.
Before going to court, the young
widow. who is fighting her late
husbands family for custody Of
the little girl, categorically denied
the sensational testimony offered
yesterday by a French maid, for
merly in her employ.
Press Excluded
It was the testimony of this
maid, who described the gay Paris
life of Mrs. Vanderbilt, which
prompted Supreme Court Justice
Carew to exclude the press from
the hearing.
The maid had started a new
line of testimony concerning Mrs.
Vanderbilt and the MarchioneSS
of Milford-Haven during their
stay at Cannes in 1929 when the

In Conflict
By International News Service


Burning of enemy cities by rays
of the sun focused through giant
lenses carried to great heights by
airplanes was one of the almost
fantastic horrors of the next war
predicted by Col. Eddie Ricken-
hacker, World War, ace OF aces,
before President RooseVelt'S avia-
ton commission today.
The commission members heard
Colonel Rickenbacker also fore
cast the moving of entire armies
and equipment by large air trans
ports, and the masSing Of air
planes like infantry. He con-
tinued:
"There will be artillery bat
ties in the air just like the can
nOnades of the big guns on the
ground during the World War.
Giant planes will pick up vast
armies of tanks and drop them
nv the hundreds behind enemy
troops. The tanks will be
equipped with landing gears SO
that it will not be necessary for
the planes to touch the ground"
SUNSHINE WAR"
The World War fighter recalled
that the last great international
combat was a sunshine war"
with respect to aviation because
the pilots were forced to remain
on the ground when the "vis1-
bility poor" report was received.
But in the next war, bad
weather will be an advantage to
aviation, he said, because it will
shield the aviators from observa-
ton. .,,...
Colonel Rickenbacker said he
presented his graphic picture OF
the next war because he believed
this country has no adequate
air defense" He explained that
personnel, equipment and training
in war problems are inadequate.
Asks Larger Air Force
He recommended that the air
force be enlarged three or four
times to a strength of from three
to four thousand pilots, half OF
them to be on regular duty and
the remainder on reserve.
However, he admitted that this
country's military airplanes in the
main are better than those of
other nations. He added that eve
have the best bombers and attack
equipment, but that other nations
surpass America in large liquid
cooled engines"
France, he said, excelled in pur.
suit planes because of altitude and
speed. but added that the Ameri,
can pursuit planes had greater
range. He said this country was
not ready for combination of the
Army and Navy air forces, as de,
manded by Brig. Gen. William
Mitchell, but declared that regula.
ton of all civil aviation by the
Federal commission is necessary.

PLANS
To build NEW.
AIR UNITS
Reorganization of Air Force
Under Chief of Staff
First Step in Program
By KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

The Army high command today
moved swiftly forward with plans
to develop a co-ordinated fighting
air force that will have the COM
parative strength and mobility of
action of a giant eagle over any
other war birds that might seek to
invade American shores.
Existing fighting units of the
air corps will be doubled to bring
the strength of the newly created
general headquarters air force up
to a total of 900 planes.
Under direct command of the
Chief of Staff of the Army, this
headquarters air force will be held
in readiness for call at a mo.
ment's notice to roar in giant
mass formation to any part Of the
nation which may be threatened
by enemy" attack.
Doubling of the strength of ex-
isting fighting units of the air
corps will necessitate an addi.
tional $50 new combat machines.
To Create New Units
AS formed now, the new head
quarters air force consists of
only about $50 machines, the num-
Der included in the 48 units which
form the nucleus of the aerial
armada. Many of these units now
are below peace-time strength.
They will be brought up to full
strength and an additional 10 or
IS new units added.
Contracts for a large number of
the planes which will form these
new units already have been
made. The remainder will be
sought in the 1886 appropriations.
One of the principal purposes
of the headquarters air force will
be to give the War Department

Cold, Rain Threatens
Michigan's early autumn was in

yesterday and the weather man
promised a return of balmly sum"

the night a blast Stormed out OF
the nor'weSt with a bite Of ap-

There was even a threat of rain as
Boreas whipped the weather vanes
around and about. But as the
crowd assembled the sun broke
through and the crowd hailed its
coming with a welcoming roar.
All crowds are interesting in
their gathering, but this was some
thing more than usual. There's a
crowd which gathers in the New
York manner, slow moving, digni-
