In addition to beauty both inside

is 100 per cent more rigid, making
the body now mounted on big rub

Super Deluxe cushions are un-

there are, starting off with a con-

Ford V-8's Deluxe and Super De-
Luxe.
Designers have taken full ad-
vantage of increased wheelbase
and overall lengths to give added

have worked right up from bigger

U. S. AIR MIGHT
PARADES FOR T. R.

Continued From rage OAoJ
dents remarks appeared calcu-
lated to lend emphasis to the state
ment of foreign policy made ear
lier in the day by Sumner Welles,
undersecretary of state, in an adj
dress at Cleveland.
"Preparing''
Welles told the Cleveland foreign
affairs council, a business and pro-
fessional mems group formed to
study foreign affairs, that the Unit
ed States was preparing for any
eventualities."
At the same time, he expressed
the opinion that the Far East pre-
sented no problem (which gould
not be peacefully solved through
negotiations provided there existed
a sincere desire on the part OF all
concerned to find an equitable and
a fair solution which would give
lust recognition to the rights and
to the real needs of all concerned
The President stood bareheaded
in the open sunlight to deliver his
address at the $13, 000, 900 airport,
constructed by filling in Potomac
river marshlands with soil dredged
from the river bottom.
After his references to the air
armada overhead, he launched in
to a comparison Of defense needs
in the early days of the republic
and today when the airplane has
become an increasingly important
weapon.
President Washington, he said,
had "a citizenry ready to spring
to arms because nearly every citi-
zen had arms and knew how to
sue them"
To-day, fifty thousand young
Americans are licensed flyers and
the number is growing by almost
two thousand a month";" he contin-
ued. They are not all military
pilots-but they are as ready to
become military pilots as were the
farmers Of Washington's day to
become riflemen of the line"
THAT is why this airport, soon
to be one Of the worlds greatest
facilities, surely its most conven-
lent and probably its most beauti-
full, should be brought with all
possible emphasis to the attention
of our people during this awaken
ing of America to the needs OF
antional defense.
This airport and many others
which we hope will follow will
draw free men freely to use a
peace time implement of COM
merce which, we hope, will never
be converted to war time serv-
ice."
Diplomats Present
The President spoke into a mi
crophone below a stand holding
several hundred spectators, :nclud-
ing many government officials,
dipomats and air attaches from
foreign embassies and legations.
Other hundreds yer grouped
about the miles of runways and on
the Mt. Vernon boulevard which
skirts the airport.
Near the end of his speech, when
he referred to how important the
airplane has become to both ag-
gressors and those who fight for
their continued national existence,
tho chi e oyoc1Ifiva intorpo1afad to
say it was also important for those
nations that may be compelled to
fight" for their existence.
Most of the army ships partici-
pating in the show came from
Langley Field, Va. The Navy and
Marine bombers, scouts and fight
ers converged on the airport from
the fleet marine base at Quantico,
Va, and the aircraft carriers Ran
ger and Wasp, now operating in
the Atlantic. 4

CINCINNATI, Oct. 2.-R-The.
victorious Tigers, from Bol New
som down to the ne''est rookie,
held a sneaking suspicion tonight
that they have the Indian sign on
the Cincinnati Reds and would win
the worlds champio~ ship for sure.
Newsom was the only T iger
brave enough to make the predic-
ton that they might win four
straight.
Eyes, SIR, beamed the six-foot
pitcher, IF we hit as we did to-
day, we may win it in four straight
I don't think we'll come back to
this ball park after we get through
with the Reds in Detroit
There was a total absence OF
explosive atmosphere in the Tigers
dressing room. They seemed to be
emotionally spent and took thef
victory merely as another game.
The lack Of yipping and backslap-
ping was due possibly to the fact
that they went through all that
when they finally conquered Cleve-
land for the American league
championship.
Del Baker, Tiger manager, was
smiling and happy.
Nice going. fellows, he yelled
