future of American aviation rests
IN their own workshops, where mar
vels in miniature plane construction
are being accomplished.
Full 4-HOur Program
The sweep Of the four-hour pro-
gram ranged from exhibitions staged
by the Junior Aviators themselves
to a demonstration Of precision fly
ing by Mai. Williams. the like of
which never before has been seen in
Indianapolis.
Lieut.. Col. w. D. Upton and j. E.
Mason, whose daily aviation feature
Flight appears in The Times, also
were on the program.
The air-minded throng witnessed
fights by planes a foot long to air
Leviathans that stop at the Munich
pal Airport.
Feats of daring left the spectators
gasping. There never was a slack
moment from ,, when Charles E..
CARL Jr.. Times managing editor,
opened the program, till the final ex-
hibition of precision flying by Maj.
Williams.
He Knows Every Trick
In two flights. Mai Williams in
the cockpit of his 7O0-horsepowered
Gulfilawk demonstrated every ma
neuver that man can now per-
form in the air.
He gave the Junior AvlatOrs a
practical demonstration of every
lesson they had learned from their
text books. Inside loops. rolls on
top loops. slow rolls. snap rolls, long
power dives. inverted climbs. Inn
melman turns. vertical climbS-all
these were shown.
The program opened with a
demonstration of radio COmmunica-
ton between a giant American Air
WAYS airliuer, not then in sight, and
the operations control office in the
Municipal Airport administration
building.
Through amplihers. the great
crowd heard a conversation between
Pilot Harry SuSOtt at the controls
Of the Vultee airliner, en- route from
Cincinnati and Chicago. Two min
utes after the radio conversation
ended. the great ship swept INTO
the airport for a graceful landing.
Model Planes Take to Air
Then came a demonstration OF
model plane flying. during which a
gasoline motored plane scared in a
stiff wind and rubber band motored
planes that have won honors for
their owners were demonstrated be-
fore the great crowd.
During his first flight Maj. Will
liamS staged a sham air battle with
a MARYLAND National Guard plane
with Col. Upton at the controls
Mai. Williams showed the air mind
ed crowd and the Junior Aviators
precisely how combat would be car
ried on in the clouds.
A demonstration of radio control
of flight. staged by Elvan Tarking-
ton. head Of the Harrington Flying
Service. gave the thousands lining
the air field a glimpse of one of the
scientific miracles of modern flight
Drops 5000 Feet, Pulls Cord
Clasps came from thousands OF
threats when Gene Rock. Fl Wayne
parachute jumper. stepped from a
plane 10000 feet above the field and
plunged 5000 feet before pulling the
rip cord. Falling at the rate of 10C
feet q second. Rock finally came "a
an easy landing on the west side
of the field. His feat was without
question the most daring Of the en-
tire program.

tary.

that the Ethiopian war must be
halted without fighting in Europe,
made two important points:
!. Britain has no intention Of
fighting MuSsolini alone, or of tax
ing individual action such as a
blockade or closing the Suez canal
?. AS a corollary, action to stop
the war must be collective, the i'm
plication being that if the powers
at Geneva decide on force, Britain
will act with them.
Invites Action
Sir Samuel pointedly invited
Mussolini to 90 something about it
before October 81, when the league
fixes a date for application OF the
financial and economic penalties
already voted, suggesting that if

men. eager for quick and peaceful
solution of the Afro-European cris-
is. little encouragement today today
that their hopes will be fulfilled.
While admitting that the British
Foreign Secretary preferred an olive
branch to Mussolini, the French can
nowhere find in his graceful speech
anv approach to direct negotiations.
Nor do they interpret Sir Samuels
soft words about our old friend and
ally" as evidence that Britain's de-
termination to carry forward any
punitive measures ordered by the
League is wavering.
In fact. the French find some diff
ficulty in reconciling the concilia-
tory tone of Sir SamuePs speech
with the most recent acts of the gov
ernment in which he holds a key
poSition-Such as resurrection of the
Hague Neutrality law of 1907. APP
plication of this law forbidding the
war ships of belligerent nation 20
remain in a neutral port more than
"a hours, or to take on more fuel
than is needed to carry them TO the
next port, operates as severe sane
ton against Italy. Moreover, the
French emphasize, this action was
taken on British initiative, without
any prompting from Geneva.
The French view of the situation,
as it stands after Sir SamuelS
speech. is that the next move is up
to Mussolini. If there are to be peace
negotiations outside the Leagues Or
bit, the initiative must come from
the Italian dictator, who has yet to
make known the exact minimum he
is willing TO accept in satisfaction of
his African ambitions. The news
from Africa of continued italian Of
fensives is interpreted here as ev1-
dence that II Duce's mood is still
defiant.
Resentment against England for
what the French regard as Lon
don's effort to drag France into joint
sponsorship of harsh punitive meas
ures against Italy, has by no means
died down in the popular mind, de-
spite the less bitter tone of the press.

Italians Killed
Meanwhile soldiers from the Oga-
den front brought to the capital an
unconfirmed report that three Ethi-
opian machine gun crews killed 40C
italians in a roadside ambush near
Ualual on the southeastern front.
The soldiers said the machine guns
were placed in pits under camou-
flage, invisible in a waste OF scrub
and rocks on the present loosely
drawn battle front. The machine
gunners withheld their fire until an
advancing Italian column was di-
rectly under cross fire, the soldiers
said, and then opened up from both
sides, demoralizing the marchers and
spraying them from behind as they
fled.
The capital also rejoiced, while un-
ceasingly preparing for expected
great battles on both north and south
fronts, over official reports from
Ogaden Province that an entire Ital-
ian advance unit had been killed by
mines it prepared for EthiopianS.

approximately Italians were blown
to bits by their own mines.
