GREATEST LABORATORY

TINE committee maintains an
"Office of Aeronautical Intel
ligence" at Washington. At Lang
ley Field, Va, it maintains the
Langley Memorial Aeronautical
Laboratory.
Named after Sampel P. Langley
who, as secretary of the Smithson-
ian Institution, pioneered in the de-
velopment of the heavier than-air
flying machine, the Langley labora-
tory is the finest and biggest labora-
tory in the world devoted to
aeronautical research.
Congress created the National
Advisory Committee for Aeronautics
on March 3, 1915. 1t consists of Is
members who are appointed by the
President of the United States and
who serve without pay. Members
include two representatives of the
Army air force, two of the Navy air
force, the heads of the Smithson-
ian Institution, United States
Weather Bureau, United States Bu-
reau of Standards, United States
Bureau of Air Commerce, and
seven members chosen from pri-
vate life. Included at the pres
ent time are Oryille Wright and
Charles A. Lindbergh. DR., Joseph
S. Ames, famous physicist and pres
ident emeritus of Johns Hopkins
University, is chairman of the COM
mittee.
The committee co-ordinates the
research needs of aviation and car
ries on fundamental Investigations,
the results of which are made avail
able to the Army, the Navy, the
United States Department of Com
merce, the aircraft industry and
others concerned.
These researches, centralized at
the Langley Field laboratory, have
led and are leading to material
improvement in the performance,
efficiency and safety of aircraft.
Three hundred and twenty
people, about half of them re-
search engineers and the rest of
them mechanics and clerks, are
employed at Langley Field by the
government
The equipment includes a full
scale wind tunnel, the only one in
the world in which tests can be

WINGS ARE IMPROVED

economy and higher speeds DR..
Lewis said I'm the last five years
the speeds have been increased 100
per cent.
"Airplanes are now wanted that
can do $50 to 300 miles per hour as
a regular performance. These speeds
will be obtained by improved aero
dynamics, increased horse power
and increased propeller efficiency.
Improvements in wing designs
are now coming and we have a new
wing which has higher efficiency
than any now in use.
THE problem with high-speed
aircraft is to provide better land
ing and better take-off character
istics. This is being obtained by the
use of flaps on the wings. The split
flap increases lift 100 per cent and
drag 100 per cent. 1t is good for
landing but not for taking off, The
newer highlift flap is good in both
cases.
1.-THE N. A. c. A. has investigated
several high-lift devices to deter
mine whether or not such devices
might also serve to improve take-off
performance. The results indicate
that substantial reductions in take
off distances are possible"

include Investigations of the Diesel

airplanes.
So enlarge your picture of the ro-
mantle side of aviation. Beside the
stalwart, heroic pilot, place an

He will make possible the planes

New Deal Frowns

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON, April ia slight lack of CO.
w ordination appears to have developed between
the Administration and Chairman Vnson of the
House Naval Affairs Committee, which involves the
understanding between The United States and Great
Britain naval rivalry.
The House naval leader wants to start work i'm
mediately on two battleships, on the ground that
because of the tense European situation, Great
Britain may have to expand her navy considerably
and that this makes it advisable for us to build also
President Roosevelt prefers to delay battleshp con-
structon for the present. And the last thing the
Administration wants to do in any case is to pred
icate building program on any ground that will
suggest naval race with Great Britain.
THE story behind this Administration policy
i reaches deep into the conversations held be-
tween American and British officials during the
recent Naval Conference in London. Chiefly be-
cause of japanese opposition, naval limitation by
ratios was dropped from the new treaty. Whereupon
Can't Anthony Eden British foreign minister, and
Norman Davis American ambassador at-large
agreed that their two governments, as the chief
naval powers of the world should not build
against each other and that the rule OF parity be-
tween them should continue.
This understanding was reached in an atmos-
phere of mutual friendliness warmer than has ex
listed in many years Both governments realize that
the failure of the London Naval Conference to con-
tinue naval limitation by ratios among the powers
leaves the situation wide open for free-for-al race
A NYWAY the Administration is not anxious to
L y start any more naval building until after the
London Treaty is ratified 1t may not sent TO the
Senate Until next wntes.
This treaty is regarded widely as face-saving
failure and hardly worth ratifying. How enthu-
sastic President Roosevelt about it has not been
revealed. However this government. while disap
pointed over the abandonment of naval ratio lini-
tation realizes that this system attempted to freeze
