1 —Aviation— GREAT FUTURE IN AIR SEEN BY U. S. BANKERS Financiers Convinced Thai Aviation Will Go Far in Nation’s Upbuilding. new YORK, June 29.—William D. Longyear, treasurer of the American Bankers’ Association and vice president of the Security Trust and Savings Bank of Los Angeles, a passenger in one of the tri-motored Fokkers fro Mitchel field to California, asserts that American bankers are becoming “air-minded.” He has found, he said, that the men who handle the country’s money are getting behind commercial aviation because they are convinced it is to play an important part in the df 'elopment of the nation. “To visualize for myself the transport progress that is being made in the United States,” said Mr. Longyear, “all I have to do is to recall that my father went to California in a covered wagon, taking many arduous months to reach his destination. “When I was a youth I left my home in Kalamazoo in a freight car that took nine days to get to San Diego. “My father made his trip in 1852; I made mine in 1889. Later, in 1916, I took my family by motor car from Los Angeles to Detroit in twentyone days, with overnight stops. “We thought that was speedy traveling. Now I am preparing to leave New York for Los Angeles in an SBO,OOO airplane, fitted out with every modern convenience, which, if pressed, could complete the trip in thirty-six hours.” Record Plane Is Freak ROME, June 29.—The Savoia plane in which Captain Ferrarin and Major Prete of Italy recently established an endurance record of 58 hours 42 minutes, is an unusual type of ship. It is a monoplane, but the engine, instead of being in the nose of the fusilage, is set in a streamlined “egg” high above the wing on struts. The propeller is behind the engine, making it a pusher instead of tractor type. The placing of the engine above the fuselage gives the pilots a good view forward. The plane has a wing span of sixty-two feet. It weighs 5,952 pounds loaded. A special runway of cement was built at the Monte Celo field, and an initial inclination of seven degrees was built to help the plane in getting started. Aviation Booster Day Bv Times Special FT. WAYNE, Ind., June 29. “Boost Ft. Wayne Aviation Day” will be observed Sunday at the Sweebrock airport. An aviation parade over the city, and a twenty-five mhe race and dead stick landing contest are scheduled. Miss Dorothy Curran, flapper parachute jumper, this city, and Gene Rock, local flier, who will do a delayed opening drop in a parachute, are on the program. Plans Plane Taxis Bn Timex Special EVANSVILLE, Ind., June 29. Airplane taxi service at practically the same cost as for railroad fare is to be established here, F. J. O'Neal of the O’Neal Aircraft Company, Vincennes, announces. O’Neal says he has purchased for $25,000 two Ryan cabin monoplanes to be delivered about Aug. 1 for taxi service. Associated with O’Neal in the venture will be Edward Stork, instructor for the Evansville Aero Club. Inspects Landing Fields Capt. Phil Love, who, with Maj. H. C. Ferguson, Thursday inspected various landing fields here in preparation to laying out the route of the trans-continental air-rail project, took a flight over the city Thursday afternoon. Love, who came here by auto, borrowed a Waco biplane owned by Wiley Carter, at the Indianapois airport, and. flew over the city, inspecting suitable landing fields from the air.

BALLOON PILOTS READY TO ’HOP’ IN WORLD RACE < Thirteen Airmen of Seven Nations to Compete for Bennett Trophy. Bv United Press DETROIT, June 29—Balloonists of seven nations will compete for the Gordon Bennett Cup in the annual international balloon classic starting here Saturday. The list of thirteen pilots is as follows: Switzerland, E. L. Maag; Argentine, Edward Bradley; Denmark, S. Rasmussen; the United States, Capt. W. E. Kepner, U. S. Army; C. A. Palmer, Akron, and W. C. Naylor, Detroit; Belgium, M. Thonnard; France, M. Georges Blanchet, M. Maurice Bienaime, and M. Charles Dolifus; Germany, Hugo Kaulen, Ferdinand Eimermacher, and Otto Bertram, with Erich Leimkugel as alternate. Two Contestants Killed The American contestants were selected at the national elimination balloon race Decoration Day from Pittsburgh, in which two contestants were killed and several injured in a thunderstorm. The winner of last year’s Gordon Bennett race, E. J. Hill of Detroit, was one of those forced down with slight injuries. Wade T. Van Orman of Akron, veteran balloonist, winner of the 1926 Gordon Bennett and second in last year’s international race, suffered a fractured leg when his balloon was struck by lightning. Six of this year’s contestants, Maag, Kepner, Blanchet, Bienaime, Kaulen and Eimermacher, competed in last year’s race, which a’so started at Detroit. Wind From Southwest Prevailing winds at Detroit are southwest, so that the balloons may follow a course across New York and New England and possibly into Canada. Each basket is equipped for every emergency, so that the pilots will have the means of subsistence if they land in wild and unsetlled country. In the 1920 race from Birming- j ham, Alan R. Hawley was lost for a week in northern Ontario before he was able to make his way to civilization. In another Gordon Bennett race, Van Orman landed his balloon on I the deck of an ocean freighter at ! sea. The sportsmanship of James Gordon Bennett gave to the world the series of Gordon Bennett Balloon races. In 1906, Bennett, internationally known American publisher and sportsman, presented to the Aero Club of France the first Gordon Bennett cup, which for eighteen years was the object of international contests until, in 1924, it was won for the third consecutive time by Ernest Demuyter of Belgium. America Loses Cup In 1910 the cup was won for the second consecutive time by American pilots, who were, however, deprived of permanent possession the following years by Hans Gericke, of Germany, who outrode the storms of that year’s race, from Kansas City to Holcombe, Wis., 471 miles. In the race of 1912 there was set by M. Bienaime, of Prance, the mark that stands today as the record for duration—l,36l miles—starting at Stuttgart, Germany, and ending at Rjasan, Russia. The duration of this flight was forty-six hours. The winner of the first Gordon Bennett race in, 1906, Gen. Frank P. Lahm, at that time a lieutenant, will be the referee of Saturday’s event. Ralph Upson, the 1913 winner, will be timer. St. Louis Airman Here A. C. Carl of St. Louis, flying to Cleveland, stopped at the Indianapolis airport Thursday for fuel. England to See Zeppelin Permission has been granted to the German government by the British air authorities to fly the new passenger Zeppelin LZ 127 over England. The LZ 127, now under construction at Frierichshafen, will be finished in July, and will fly over England as part of a trial trip preliminary to a projected around-the-wcrld flight. Flies Back to Detroit Leonard Slo, who spent several hours at Indianapolis airport on business Thursday, returned later in the day to Detroit in his Stinson plane.
