The Langley plane was taken to
Hammondsport, N. Y, in 1914 by
Glenn Curtiss. Equipped with pom
toons and changed in minor details,
the craft scared like a veteran,
and landed in due course under its
own power. This, some authorities
held, vindicated DR.. Langley. At
any rate, it convinced the Smith
sonian Institution that the Langley
plane was the first heavier-than-
air craft capable of" sustained
flight.
Ex-mechanics Hewitt and New
ham never doubted the capacity Of
the Langley machine to fly. There
seemed to be every reason why it
should sustain itself in the air.
Yet twice it failed its inventor, once
inexplicably. The same radial type
Of engine was widely used for many
years, notably in Lindbergh's first
transatlantic flight.
Modern aviation, authorities gen.
orally agree, owes lot to DR.. Sam
uel Pierpont Langley. Still he died
considered by some a failure in his
supreme undertaking.
Yes, flying looks easy when one
sees modern plane rise and drone
speedily toward a distant city. But
it was not always so, as Mr.. Hewitt
and Mr.. Newham can tell you.

which has not been shown yet" De-
troit automobile Manufacturers, he
said. have begun within the past
three months structural research on
planes for mass production. One,
he declared, Is almost ready to start
production of q small civilian plane.
Gill Robb Wilson, president of the
National Aeronautic Association,
predicted in another interview that
before large-scale production of war
planes can be begun q better or
ganization Of the industry is needed.
TO talk Of numbers might be mis-
leading" he declared, 1.-The organiza-
tions and types are more significant
than the numbers"
He predicted that there is need
at present of 5000 training planes
for every 100 combat planes.
Doubling the capacity of a wa-
plane manufacturer was accom-
plished just year ago, at the Glenn
L. Martin Co. Of Baltimore. One ex-
ecutive of the Martin Co., who asked
that his name not be used, declared
that 100000 square feet of space
complete with machinery was In op-
GRAFTON II days after the company
decided to build.
The plant was decided upon Fri
day. and an architect and his
staff arrived from Detroit next day,
building plans were completed Mon
day, and contracts issued the same
day. One manufacturer of elec-
trical equipment sent his machinery
to the plant three weeks before it
could be used.
"Bottleneck" Solved.
The "bottleneck" of trained per-
sonnel, which has increased there
from $500 to $4,000 in the last
year, was solved by sending As
Martin engineers to act as in
structors In various vocational and
high schools throughout the Balti-
more area, and graduates were Of
fered positions with pay. Less than
month ago, the executive said,
the Martin company had opened
a school In Baltimore for engineer
ing personnel who had specialized
IN other industries, to train them
In aviation duties. The men are
paid while they study and do some
work for the company without in
terfering with fully trained men
Air Line Assistance Offered.
A plan for mass production OF
pilots at very low cost to the Gov
ernment was presented by Capt
Robert Dawson of United Air Lines
He declared that about 1000 of the
l,500 air line pilots could teach five
men each week in their spare time
to pilot a small plane. At the end
OF six months, he predicted, there
would be 5000 pilots each with at
least so hours of solo flying and
each with good knowledge of
aviation. In times of emergency
they could be turned over to the
Army for instruction in combat fly-
ing, which could be taught them in
few weeks or months.
He suggested that the Govern
ment supply the training planes and

ference yesterday Of Secretary Of

sentatives Of the tool industry. At
the present time the industry Is

cipally for the aviation companies,
expected to jump sharply in the
coming few weeks, q continuation of
this need probably will take prece-
dence over another years automo-

tary Morgenthau said, one large au-
tomobile company already has Of

CITY MANAGER
 PLAN DEFEATED
Two Cities in New Jersey Vote ''NO" in Special
 Elections Yesterday

The city manager plan, which Wa terbury voters rejected decisively last fall, was defeated by large majorities in special elections in two New Jersey cities yesterday. Voters of Newark and Atlantic City turned down city manager proposals generally similar to the one on which local voters balloted in October.
 In Newark the vote was more than to 3 against. There were 53,322 "no" votes as against 32- 596 "yes".
 In Atlantic City, the margin, or rejection was almost 3 to 1. There were 16,s50 votes for, and 6,S41 against.
 The city manager plan in each ot the cities was backed by a citizens organization organized along the lines of the Citizens Good Govern. ment association, which sponsored the unsuccessful move for a city manager charter here.
 The Newark campaign was bases on claims that the present form O government was too costly, ant counter-claims that the packers ol the city manager plan were in large part disgruntled politicians seeking to gain control of the city govern ment.
 The Good Government associa- ton here is still functioning and despite the outcome of the referen- dunn, apparently plans action at the legislature again next year to give Waterbury g city manager form of government.

SALARY RAISES
 FOR STATE HELP

 f1ediately

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 2l-(UP)- Salary raises for approximately 750 state employees who have been re- ceiving less than $2O00 year, were announced today by finance Com- missioner O. Glenn Saxon.
 The increases, retroactive to Feb 1, amount to $74,445 a year.
 The increases ranged from $8O tc so annually, affecting persons who had not received raises in five ol ten years and whose earnings were classified in the flower brackets"
 The new scale became effective in 29 of the states agencies and was made possible by savings real- ized from a reorganization program instituted by the administration last year.
 A year ago raises were distributed to employees in 40 other departments, approximately $144,000 a year, and g third batch will be announced in 34 other agencies when a review of conditions is completed in July, Saxon said.
 There is enough money in the budget for the biennium to provide for the salary increases, according to the commissioner.

Originally written as ballet music, part of the program relating to the second suite is as follows: Daphnis and Chloe mime the story of Pan and Syrinx; Chloe impersonates the young nymph wandering over the meadow. Daphnis, as Pan, ap- pears and declares his love for her. The nymph repulsese him; the god becomes more insistent. She dis appears among the rocks. In des- peration he plucks some stalks, fashions a flute, and on 1t plays a mechanically tune. Chloe comes out and initiates a flute, and on it plays a melancholy tune. Chloe comes out and initiates by her dance the accents of the flute" The dance grows more and more animated. In maod whirlings, Chloe falls into the arms of Daphnis. Before the altar of nymphs he swears on two sheep his fidelity. Young girls enter; they are dressed as Bacchantes and shake their tambourines. Daphnis and Chloe embrace ,tenderly. A group of young men come on the stage. Joyous tumult .. Daphnis and Chloe. s3
