—Aviation— AIR INSURANCE IN STEP WITH ' PLANEAOVANCE Rates Are High, but Policies Available on Most Risks. “John, if you get in that airplane, your insurance will be cancelled.” Commonly heard in vicinity of airports, this wifely warning usually is erroneous, a study of insurance rules reveals. Policies issued by nearly every insurance company are incontestable after a certain period, usually one and sometimes two years. Thus, after the contestable period is past, the company is forced to pay the policy regardless of the manner of death. Aviation is one of the biggest problems faced by insurance companies today. Eecause of its newness and rapid expansion, attempts to place it on a sound insurance basis have not yet been altogether successful. Progress Made However, progress of aviation is disclosed by the fact such insurance is obtainable, although somewhat expensive. At least two large companies now issue coverage in practically all forms corresponding to the risks on an automobile. Combined fire and theft rates aie not much higher than on a Ford auto, according to H. H. Wells, of the Wells and O’Keeffe Insurance Agency. “Public liability and property damage is about ft>ur times as much as on a standard auto,” Wells said. “Accidental damage is figured on the value of the plane, and the percentage of insurance premium to the value of the plane is only about twice as much as on the automobile, on the whole. “The value and economy of airplanes has been proven to the business world, and now since investment can be protected by insurance, it is reasonable to expect that every firm which features speed as an asset will have an airplane or fleet of planes within the next five years.” Policies Limited Wells said his agency started its airplane department in March, 1927, and insured fifteen planes that year. Applications have been taken on twenty planes in the past two months. “Aviation insurance is in its infancy and is expensive, because of the few airplanes in existence, in comparison with automobiles, giving a smaller field over which losses may be spread,” according to L. G. Gordner, Travelers Insurance Company agent. Some companies refuse to write policies under any circumstances where the applicant is a flier or intends to be a frequent airplane passenger. Many old line insurance com- ' panies write life policies permitting aviation activities. These differ greatly, some costing $25 additional for each SI,OOO insurance with a limit on the amount issued, others making no extra charge, but placing a limit as low as $2,500 on the amount of such policies. Collision Rate High The Travelers Insurance Company now writes a policy paying the minimum .indemnity for aviation injuries incurred while a passenger in a licensed passenger airplane or dirigible airship operated by an incorporated passenger carrier on a regular passenger route between definitely established airports, with licensed pilots. Other for>is of insurance on planes are still higher than on automobiles. The ordinary tornado and cyclone rate for automobiles is 15

CONDITIONS AT 9:30 A. M. (Compiled for The Times by Government Weather Observer J. H. Armington and Donald McConnell. Government aeronautical observer.) Wind, west, 5 miles; barometer 29.82. cents for each SIOO, while for airplanes it ranges from $1 to $1.50 per SIOO, Gardner said. Automobile theft rates vary from one-tenth of 1 per cent to 3Yz per cent, airplane rates varying from one-half to one per cent. The collision insurance rate on s $4,000 automobile is $132, while on an airplane costing the same the rate ranges from S4OO to S6BO, depending on the safety factor. One form of insurance is the “aviation insurance ticket,” good for on a day only and similar to the 25cent insurance tickets sold to railroad travelers. Pilots Confident These aviation tickets, effective from 4 a. m. one day to 4 a. m. the next day, cover not only aviation accidents, but accidents of any sort The policy, costing $5 per day, pays $5,000 for death or for loss of both limbs or both eyes; $2,509 for loss of one eye or one limb, with $25 weekly' for total disability and $12.50 weekly for partial disability. The fee for pilots and mechanics is double the ordinary rate. The local office never has issued one of the latter, partly because of the price and partly because of confidence those daily associated with aviation have in well-built planes. Offers Sky Taxis By Times Special WABASH, Ind., June 20.—Airplane taxi service “to any point in the United States,” is offered by the Wabash flying service field, which was opened Sunday with hundreds of persons attending. A $2,725 “monocoupe” plane is now at the field and two more are to be bought. Charles Wenrick, Sidney, is in charge of the field. First Plane Shop Fire By Times Special GARY, Ind., June 20.—Firemen here have made their first run due to an airplane workshop fire. The flames destroyed the frame and sheet iron shop of the Calumet Air Transport Company, causing a loss of about $7,000. Famed Partners Break PARIS, June 20.—The famous partnership of Dieudcnne Costes and Joseph Lebrix has been solved. There has been no disagreement. They are still the best of friends. "But when Captain Costes is- ready to leave about July 15 on his attempted flight from Paris to New York he wants to fly as Lindbergh flew—alone. Just as Captain Costes was taking off from Villacoublay aboard the Nungesser-Coli plane for a flight to Nancy, his attention was called to the fact that for the first time Lieut. Commander Lebrix was not in his accustomed place in the cockpit. It was then that Captain Costes disclosed his plans for the transatlantic attempt. Air Tour on Radio G. M. Williams, Marmon Motor Car Company president, will speak over Radio Station WFBM at 7:50 p. m. tonight on the Detroit national air reliability tour which v.ill visit Indianapolis June 30. Williams is sponsoring the visit here, the first stop on the 6,000mile trip for the twenty-five planes entered. The visiting planes will land at the Speedway and pilots and passengers will be luncheon guests at the Prest-O-Lite plant. In his radio talk, Williams will discuss the benefit to Indianapolis of being one of the cities visited by the air tour.

PLAN ATLANTIC HOP U. S. Fliers Ask to Return With Southern Cross. By United Press • SYDNEY, Australia, June 20. American members of the crew of the monoplane Southern Cross, which recently arrived here at the end of a 7,800-mile across the Pacific Ocean, intend to fly from England to the United States. Lieut. Harry Lyon, who was navigator of the Southern Cross, announced today he and James Warner, radio operator, would ask Capt. Charles Kingsford-Smith, pilot of the Southern Cross, to take them on the trans-Atlantic flight. Negro to Try Sea Hop CURTIS FIELD, L. I„ June 20. Hubert Julian, Negro aviator and parachute jumper, visiting Long Island Flying fields, announced that he soon would make a trans-At-lantic hop. This is the second attempt for Julian. In 1924 he purchased a flying boat and on July 4 of that year while the banks of the Harlem river were lined with cheering supporters he took off, avowedly bound for Liberia, He landed in Flushing Bay, which, while more or less on his course, had not been a scheduled stop.

—Aviation — STORM FORGES 7 PILOTS DOWN; RETURNTODAY Airmen Who Took Realtors to Louisville Held at Greensburg. Seven airplane pilots who Tuesday noon took fourteen Indianapolis realtors from Hoosier Airport to Louisville, Ky., for the Real Estate Board’s straggling home after waitbegan straggling home after waiting out the storm Tuesday evening. Harold C. Brooks, secretary treasurer of the airport, the first to arrive here this morning, said the pilots saw the heavy storm clouds to the north and all seven planes were landed safely in farmers’ fields west of Greensburg. The pilots spent a comfortable night at Greensburg. “The incident serves to show the safety of aviation,” Brooks said. “In an airplane you can see a storm a long distance away and you can either fly around it, fly over it or find a suitable landing field. “In this case, we chose to land because the storm was centered about Indianapolis, our destination.” The trip to Louisville was uneventful. Pilots of the seven ships were Brooks, Capt. E. W. Sweeney, Paul Payne, Karl Biedenmeister, Lieut. M. J. Carpenter, E. M. Johnson, Howard Maxwell and Bob Shank. Lieut. Earl Halstead, Indianapolis’ flying cop, also flew an army plane with Don Rider, Indianapolis Real Estate Board executive secretary, as passenger. Halstead remained over night at Louisville.
