Big Gain in Output
Of Light Planes

Air Meeting Delegates
To Inspect Test Projects

II gains In production of light
airplanes In the United States in
recent years continue at the same
rate, the light airplane and engine
industry can be expected at least to
double the 1889 volume during 1940
delegates to the national aeronautic
meeting of the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers were told today by
Carl F. Bachle of Continental Mo-
tors Corp
Mr.. Bachle showed that yearly
production Of light airplanes has
increased from less than 400 in 1885
to nearly 800 in 1896, more than
1900 in 1887, 1900 in 1898 and
nearly $500 in 1888. The floua isi,-
ing condition of the light aircraft
industry Mr.. Bachle attributed to
"the stimulus of greatly increased
private-owner demand and Govern
ment fostered student - training
programs"

Aviation Manufacturing Corp. said
IN another paper presented today.
The geared engine makes possible
superior take-off and climb per-
tormance, he said.
Projects to Be Inspected.
This afternoon the delegates are
inspecting various aeronautical test
projects at the National Bureau of
Standards, including apparatus for
aircraft spark plug testing, in the
shop and in fight; oil filters, bear
hgs tests, fuels, corrosion resistant
metals, fatigue failures of propel-
lers, vibration of wing beams, power
plant fire tests and the bureau wind
tunnel.
The meeting will close with a din
ner at Z pm. today, at which the
speakers will be Arthur Mutt, presi-
dent Of the Society of Automotive
Engineers, who recently returned
from a European aircraft survey
trip, and Clinton M. Hester, Civil
Aeronautics Authority administra-
tor, who will discuss international
air transportation problems. Will
liam B. Stout will be POSTMASTER.
c. G. Taylor Speaks.
The year 1899 stands out as the
year OF public recognition and ac-
ceptance of light airplanes, c. G..
Taylor Of Taylorcraft Aviation Corp
told the delegates last night. The
number Of civil airplanes, exclusive
of commercial and military aircraft,
increased from 11,159 to 13,772, or "a
per cent, and the number of pilots
from 22,983 to 1924, or 81 per cent,
he said. He praised the Civil Aero
nautics Authority pilot training pro-
gram, involving 10000 hours of stu
dent flying since last October with
out serious accident, as IAN excellent
step toward Nation of flyers"
1t has been shown, Mr.. TAYLOR
said. that a poorly-trained pilot is
one-fourth as safe in the air as in
his automobile, but that properly
trained flyer is four times as safe
In the air as in his car.
Problems Of passenger comfort in
the modern airliner were discussed
by w. w. Davies Of United Airlines
and Walter j. Forster of the Curtiss-
Wright Corp. Mr.. Davies pointed out
that the heating system of one of
the large airliners would be sufficient
to heat an 8-to- 10-room house in
any kind of weather.

IF the administration says it

that administration support might

larly an amendment which would
prohibit discrimination against craft
unions in Labor Board decisions.
President William Green of the

The House voted early last June
in favor of making Is changes in

Senator Thomas disclosed that
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio

in September. that the committee
take up the suggested changes in the

delay until after the election.
Although the chairman expressed
the opinion that better legislation

The law permits Kansans out Of

sentee ballots. Previously, only Fed
eral employees and persons in the
military services could so vote. 1t is
these out-of- State absentee ballots
400 of them-Whlch are being
tailed now and which have switched
the lead from ! 300 for Mr.. Burke to
SO for Gov. Rather.
Gov. Rather, from the railroad

ules took them away on election
days when he introduced that bill in
1929.
If there ever was a case of bread
cast upon the waters, this is it," he
exclaimed.
The tight contest has led to
mandamus action by Mr.. Burke's
hackers. They asked the State Su-
preme Court to compel the cam
vassers to permit his representatives
to see affidavits detached from the
out-of-State votes. They contended
they could challenge more than a
thousand ballots.
