troll After 2-HOur Battle
IN BUSINESS DISTRICT

Three stores were razed in a
$5O,0O0 fire that threatened the
business district of Onancock, Va,
Wednesday morning of last week.
Nine accompanies in a 60-mile
area aided firemen in bringing
flames under control after a two
hour battle. High wind died down
during the fight, enabling firemen
to halt spread of the flames. The
remodeled American store, a brick
building, was total loss, the walls
collapsing despite the firemen's eff
forts. Other buildings housed the
Loftland and Boggs and Carroll
Salvage grocery stores. Flying
embers ignited structures on either
side of three groceries, but caused
only minor damage. The fire, of
undetermined origin, was first seen
in rear of the Loftland and Boggs.
All three buildings were burning
briskly when firemen began to ar
rive from nearby towns. Stocks of
the stores, located on North Street,
were destroyed

Air Corps Opens Bids
On New Type Plane
BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The Army Air Corps opened bids
yesterday at Wright Field, Dayton,
Ohio, on new type of fast inter-
ceptor pursuit plane. designed as a
weapon against the bomber.
Able to climb rapidly and attain
high speed, the new craft in the
event of war would be employed
with anti-aircraft artillery in pro-
viding protection against air raids.
officials said three manufacturers
were expected to submit bids along
with actual experimental planes
built to meet Air Corps require
ments. All will be tested and if one
Is adopted, contracts may be let in
six weeks or more, it was said.
Great Britain, concerned with the
defense of London, has led in de-
velopment of the interceptor type
plane armed with guns to combat
any bomber. The United States has
concentrated more on fighter models
with longer range.
Air Corps specifications are secret,
