Complaints Piling Up.
Well, the Civil Aeronautics Ad-
ministration is giving the matter
some thought, although it admits
that 1t hasn't got very far yet. The
CAA has had its mind mostly on
other aspects of the great and grow
ing air industry, which it undertakes
to control and at the same time
promote. Speed and more speed,
increased carrying capacity, greater
service to the travelling public and
safety of the passengers have occu-
pied the attention of the CAA. The
people down below have been almost
overlooked.
Now, however, that complaints are
accommodating, and now that city
councils here and there are saying
that they guess they don't want
that new airport after all because
citizens object to the noise, the CAA
is gathering together what it has
learned and causing some serious
studies to be made concerning ways
and means of meeting the COM
plants. Suggestions considered by
the CAA's engineers include:
A reduction in speed. it having
been found that the faster these
gasoline eagles fly the louder they
scream. More powerful engines,
using less of their power, although
that would reduce the planes pay
load by contracting the passenger
or freight space. Muff1ers, which
have been found capable of cutting
the noise of the engine exhaust as
much as 33 per cent, but whose
added weight likewise would displace
a certain amount of pay load.
Propeller Problem.
And here's one that will interest
you: Bigger propellers, spinning at
less speed: small propeller, 1t is
explained, must revolve much faster
than large propeller to pull a
plane at the same speed; and the
faster the propeller revolves the
more noise it makes. More pro-
pellers, it having been demonstrated
that two make less noise than one,
pulling a plane at the same speed,
Propellers with more blades, one
engineer believing an eight-blade
propeller, revolving slowly, Is the
answer.
Greater thought is being given the
propeller problem than that OF muf-
fling the engine exhaust. This be-
cause it has been found that it is
the propeller that makes most of the
noise. Dr.. Theodore Theodoreson, OF
Langley Field laboratory, has re-
ported to the National Advisory
Committee for Aeronautics that cor

Former Boxer Found Dying
OF Bullet Wound on Road
ey the Associoted Press

SCRANTON, Pa. Aug. 17.-Shot
near the heart, 27-year-old former
professional boxer was found dying
early today on lonely section OF
North Scranton.
Two motorists saw Angelo Cali
father of three children, stretched
on the highway and thought he hao
been injured in an accident because
his taxicab had plunged into ditch
and plowed into an embankment
100 feet away.
But when they took him to a hos
pital where he died half an houl
later. physicians discovered a bullet
lodged near his heart.
Cali, found about a block from
where another taxi driver was slair

rection of propeller design or use
may do most of the job of noise
reduction.
One answer offered by some CAL
loused airline operators is rejected.
This answer is that the people will
get used to the noise. In the CAA's
opinion the same concentration by
manufacturers on the noise outside
the cabin that has been given to
the noise inside the cabin will
presently produce the same very
satisfactory results. If so it will end
an ironic situation, that in which
the people below the roaring plane
must cease conversation, while the

tinue to gossip cheerfully in normal

issues of the November election.
Senator Capper, Republican, oi

Democratic Chairman Hannegan

in accusing congressional Repub-
hcans of engaging 'in deliberate
concerted scheme to block the post
war program which the American
people wanted"

Idaho declared in separate inter
view that Republican Chairman
Reece was talking through his hat

will entrust control of Congress to
the Republicans"

If his party gains control it will
make an investigation of the ad-
ministration which will make recent
war profits disclosures seem like a
popgun in comparison with an

Senator Taylor said IL an investi-
CATION showed any irregularities in
obtaining money from the Govern

servatism" and to the "misfeasanc,
of government that ended in hard
ship and hopelessness for 13o, 900 ,o0'
people,"
Capper Charges Confusion"
Senator Capper said he REGARDED
this as an attempt by Mr.. Hanne
gan to confuse the voters about tn
Republican party's aims. He addel
that he believes popular support
growing steadily for the stand mos
congressional Republicans took ol
major issues.
Mr.. Hannegan asserted the Con
sress minority opposed the so
called full employment" bill, min
imum wage legislation and pric

He said the Democratic slogan TO
