AVIATION
By CLARENCE NICHOLAS
AIR POWER IN THE U. S.

AIR POWER IN THE Z. S.
For quite long time, a year at
least, there has been a lot of talk going
on, and articles in the print, about an
immense increase in the air power of
this government Nobody knows what
the air power of the United States is
any more than they know what the air
power of Britain, Germany or any
other country.
In any case the U. S. strength is
difficult to calculate because it does
not exist as a single unit as is the case
in other countries. The air power of
this country consists of the army air
corps, naval air service, the coastguard
air service and the National Guard air
corps. This may be little confusing
but the army air corps is the senior
branch of our air service and in men
tioning this bit of history of the de
velopment of these services since 1900
to the present day, that we give due
credit to two great men, General Viii
liam Mitchell and Admiral w. A.
Motfett who died when the American
built Zeppelin, the Akron, was wrecked
off the American coast by bad handling
and weather reporting and William
Mitchell who died partly of broken
heart, after he resigned from the army
Aside from his contribution in building
up the U. S. Army air corps he was
the only man who showed the Navies
of the World what air forces could dc
if given a chance.

LONDON. Aug. l6.-Britain
learned today that the Berehtes-
gaden conferences between the
axis powers still in session were
stressing the desire of Adolf Hit
Ter to obtain annexation of Danzig
and the Polish corridor before
the end of this month.
Failing of that aim-advices
relate that Hitler threatens "all
sorts of action, call it aggression
or any other means of procure
ment", which will aim to settle
the question of the, free city's
government.
England, however. insists that
she will continue to present a
stiff front in the impending crisis,
and will fight if need be to hold
enforcement of alliances now in
effect.
Poland, on the other hand,
feels that the day of reckoning is
at hand, and proceeds to seek
reassurances from England on
her promise to support the Polish
army against any aggressive
move instituted by the axis
powers.
Tension increases along the
German Poland b0gder, with
thousands of guardslof both ma
tons, under full army orders.
Members of the Danzig guards
shot Polish citizen who was at
tempting to flee arrest on charges
of provoking a riot.
Advices from Germany indi-
cate that diplomats of that coun-
try consider they are in strong
and favorable position to demand
settlement of the Danzig situa-
ton in the near future, which is
interpreted to mean that the Ber-
chtesgaden axis powers COME

Announcement Is Made
Of Nation Wide Chance
In Schedules Of WPA
cry A.sorla,.d Press,


WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-A
change in WPA pay schedules
throughout the nation was an
nounced today by Col F. c. Har-
rington, national administrator,
and it appears that southern
states will reap much benefit
from the new schedule, accord
ing to the new rates published.
The nation is divided into new
areas--one, two and three with
most of the industrial sections in
Guided in district one. This dis
trict will suffer general, yet
small, reductions, especially in
the skilled labor Brackets.
The change nationwide, ac-
cording to Col. Harrington, will
effect an average $3.50 per month
raise for WPA workers though
the rate of change will be much
more in southern states.
David LASER, president of the
Workers Alliance, however, stat
ed that his organization would
strongly resist the action; to re-
duce wages in industrial sections.
"If the country thought our ac-
tions against the 18-month rule
was strong. they'll reconsider
them as pink tea party when
our demonstrations against the
lower wages are Witnessed, he

Papy Wires RFC About
Raise In Bridge Toll,
Sends Strong Protest

Representative B. c. Papy of
the Florida Legislature, who was
enjoying vacation with his ia
mily in Balsam, N. c., upon hear
ing of the action of the Oversee
Road and Toll Bridge Commits
sion regarding the rs percent
raise in. tolls over the highway,
left his family and at once came
to Key West.
Immediately after arrival last
evening he sent the following
telegram to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, in Washing
ton:
/ Il earnestly protest the action
of the Overseas Road and Toll
Bridge Commission, raising the
tolls rate to SITS per car. This
.unbusinesslike and shortsighted
action will be regarded as extbr-
tionate by the patron public and
instead of increasing will UNI
Idoubtedly decrease both public
user and resulting revenues.
'This will cause economic and
travel isolation of Key West and
Monroe County, the very handi-
cap which the government sought
to obviate when money for cons
truction was granted. Urge your
body to exercise all possible in
fluence upon commission to res
cind action and restore reasona-
BILE rate. This matter affects the
economic life of the people of
Key West and Monroe county,
and / urge your sympathetic eff
forts to obtain modification of
the commissions drastic action.
Mr.. Papy called at the office of
The Citizen this morning and
spoke in the most condemnatory
terms of the commissions in
crease in the tolls over the high
way and said Il was enjoying a
vacation with my family when
the information reached me by
long distance telephone. I lost no
time leaving at once for Key
West, learned the state of af-
fairs and at once wrote the tele-
gram, a copy of which ! have
just given you.
Il was never more astounded
in my life than ! was when !
was given the information of the
shortsighted and inexcusable ac-
ton of the commissioners.
