Russian-Born Plane. Inventor Coming Here
Industrial FOremen's Club Sponsors Appearance oi
 Igor SikOrsky at Waterbury WOmen's Club

''The Future of Flying" will be discussed in an illustrated address by Igor I. Sikorsky, Russian born inventor now associated with the Vought- Sikorsky Air Craft Corpora ton of Bridgeport, at the November l2 meeting of the Industrial Fore mems club to be held in the Wom- ems Club auditorium. Born in 1889, MT. Sikorsky displayed interest in mechanics from an early age. Tn 1909 he began his work in aviation by designing and constructing @ helicopter. From l9l0-1912 he pro- duced second helicopter and six different types of airplanes which he learned to fly without any out side instructions. Tn 1911 he pro- duced the S-5 which stayed up in the air for one hour and went as high as 1900 feet. As early as 1911. MT. Sikorsky came to the conclusion that the future of aviation depended on the success of large airplanes powered with several independent engines, having comfortable en- closed cabins for the crew and oc- cupants.
 Tn 1914, the Sikorsky airplanes es- tablished Russian records for dis tance, endurance, lifting capacity and altitude, in addition to the few world records established by the large four-engined airplanes.
 During the World War, MT. Sikor- sky designed and constructed large number of heavy, four-engined bombing planes. These were the first heavy bombers used by any country during the Great Wars: they rendered valuable services to the Russian army.
 MT. Sikorsky came to the United States in 1919 and became citizen in 1928. The Sikorsky Aero Engi- neering corporation completed in 1924 the twin-engined, i4-passenger, all-metal cabin landplane, the S-29 which was one of the first success full large passenger airplanes built in this country.
 The S-38, the first successful twin -engined amphibion was used by the Pan-American Airways for the pioneering of their air routes to Central and South America. for the carrying of the first load of air. mail from the United States to the Panama Canal, and for large number of other services. This ship was also extensively used by many private owners, as well as by the Army and Navy.
 . In 1884, the Sikorsky organization produced the next type of four engined, long distance flying boat the S-42. This airplane was used to pioneer the commercial air route from the United States to Hawai- and then gradually all the wa, across the Pacific to Asia.
 During 1940, MT. Sikorsky pro duced a successful helicopter, tn VS-300. This machine, of entirel. novel design, piloted by its designer proved capable of rising vertical. with no run, of lowering over on spot for indefinite periods of time of flying forward, as well as back ward, and sideways. This aircraf may be considered the first trul. successful direct lift machine pro duced in the United States. as vel as the first single main roto helicopter successfully produced il the world. It is interesting to not that this latest machine marks tn successful completion of the yer first attempts in aircraft construc

Governor Gives Brief History of Uncle Sam's Suc-
 cesses on Seas Throughout COuntry's History

Americans had been defeated on the northwestern frontier and has been assailed from Niagara to the Ver- mont border. British strategy then contemplated a four-fold invasion - at Niagara, down Lake Cham plain, up the Chesapeake and up the Mississippi. That plan was ruined by the American Navy. At the battle of Lake Fire. Commodore Perry destroyed the English Great Lakes Fleet, sending to General Harrison his famous message: We have met the enemy and they are ours" A year later a British army of considerable size, supported by a naval force. attacked on Lake Champlain. The British fleet was met, defeated and without further naval support. British troops with drew. These victories on the Great Lakes and on Lake Champlain en- abled Americans to defeat invasion from the north and discouraged Great Britain frcm continuing the war.
 The Spanish American war offers further proof of the necessity of naval power. Control of the seas enabled the United States to land an expeditionary force on the ls- lands of Cuba and Puerto Rica. The Spanish navy. important though it was, was unequal to the fleet which the United states threw into battle, and at Santiago the entire Spanish navy in Cuban water was annihi- lated. Thereafter, Spain was un" able to supply or reinforce her army In Cuba. Tn the Far East, Dewey steamed into Manila Bay and in a few hours destroyed the spanish fleet based there. Spain sued for peace, her American empire was surrendered, the Philippines were ours.
 The World War. examined In the light Of history. tells the same story of the absolute importance or naval power. Command of the seas ulti' mately brought victory to the Allies and the United states,

Prom the beginning of modern history. the nation that has con- trolled the seas has won the wars" Governor Robert A. Hurley an- nounced in praising our Navy in a special Navy Day broadcast over WATR to the state yesterday after noon. The history of our own na- tion offers abundant illustrations Of this theory" the governor added and then gave brief history of our Naval successes throughout our his- tory.
 The text of Governor Hurley's ad- dress follows:
 The inspiring conflict at Guadal- canal is an epic. which will be told and re-told. as long as America sur- wives. It is furnishing every Amer lean with a dramatization of the vi- tai force which sea power has be- come in the present war. And 1t is particularly fitting that we, who have dedicated ourselves to an ade- quate tribute of Navy Day, pause to give deserved consideration to an- other day in the life of the nation, when naval power aided It's growth and progress,
 At the outset, permit me, as hon. orary chairman of Navy Day m Connecticut, to recognize publicly the skill, the intelligence, the tn- dustTy, and the. self-sacrifice of every man who Is now engaged in the use of naval power, sailing tar- flung ocean lanes in defense of the United States. Truly it can be said "theFe never was a time when so many owed SO much to so few" And while every branch of service Is carrying its burden with resolve and heFolsm, there is no tribute too great or too extFayagant for our naval warriors.
 It Is true that the battle between sea power and air power ranges on many fronts, If, ln the end sea power plays Q determining role, this will merely be another illustration of a basic axiom of modern war- fare. For from the beginning ni modern history, the nation that hal controlled the seas has won the wars. The history ot our own na' | ton offers abundant illustrations ol this theory. justlfylng completely the emphasis which we are now put ting on the construction Of . two' ocean Navy. indeed it ls no exag' g0ratlon to say that virtually every major war, which the United statei has waged, has been decided, in thu end. by seq power. And it must h' admitted that seq power is no without lts important position Il the present controversy.
 It was sec power that contributed largely to the success of the Amer lean Revolution. Sea power wa again the dominant force in thl War of l8i2. There Britain com manded the seas. but the smal American navy and the numerou ! frlvateers offered strong competl Ikion. destroying millions of dollar of British merchant shipping, o more importance, however, was th fighting cn the Inland waters, Tn
