—Aviation — MEXICO WAITS IN SORROW TO HONOR AIRMAN Carranza’s Mother and Wife Get Message From Lindbergh. BY GEORGE F. FINE United Press Staff Correspondent MEXICO CITY, July 16.—Slowly Mexico is coming to the realization that her most famous aviator, Capt. Emilio Carranza, is dead. His degtth was so sudden—he was found about an hour out of New York after he had started on a flight from Roosevelt Field to Mexico City —that the Nation had difficulty grasping the fact that Carranza was dead. He was a national figure, a hero and now a national martyr. Lindy Sends Message Carranza’s mother and his young wife, the wife to whom he was flying and for whom he disregarded weather conditions on his tragic last flight, are much unnerved but trying to bear up strongly under their grief. Thousands of messages of condolence are coming in to them. Among the most recent messages %ns one from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh which read: “The, loss’Vf Carranza is regretted pn both sides of the Rio Grande. JKis life was dedicated to his country.”

There is no question but that the funeral of the popular young flier will be one of the most remarkable in the Nation's history. Already 50.000 workmen have indicated they will take part in the procession while numerous organizations are making plans for a part. Honors Planned Thus far Carranza has been posthumously promoted to a major .—a natural promotion owing to his flight to the United States—but other honors have been held in abeyance, including one to give him the rank of general. Likewise other plans for honors have been held off. Included in these plans is one to have the ruins of the Ryan monoplane placed in the national museum and also to have a monument erected at the head of the runway at Valbuena Flying Field—the runway from which Carranza started his flight to the United States. Here for Aviation Parley Floyd Prothero, Cincinnati, traffic manager for the Embry-Riddle Company air mail contractors, arrived at Indianapolis airport Sunday evening by air mail plane for a conference with D. A. McConnell, local Embry-Riddle representative, and a representative of the Boeing Air Transport Company, which has the contract for the Western transcontinental air mail line out of Chicago. The Boeing representative was to arrive today on the mail plane from Chicago. It was understood the conference would concern increased cooperation between the two transport companies. St. Louis Flier Stops Here D. G. Jackson, St. Louis, who stopped at Indianapolis airport Saturday on his way from St. Louis to New York with three passengers in a Ryan brougham owned by Von Hoffman, St. Louis, stopped at the airport again Sunday on his return to St. Louis after having left his passengers in New York. E. J. Detmer, flying a Travelair biplane from Armouk, N. Y., to the Travelair factory at Wichita, Kan., stopped at the Indianapolis airport Sunday afternoon.

Girl Travels by Air “Plying is the onl yway to travel,” Miss T. K. Whitehead, Chicago girl, said as she arrived at the Indianapolis airport Sunday morning on the Embry-Riddle air mail plane from Chicago. Miss Whitehead flew here to visit at the Frank L. Vinford home. Last week she flew from Chicago to Milwaukee and return. She made the trip from Chicago in an open plane and suffered no discomforts, she said.

GERMANS PLAN AIR SERVICE TO SOUTHAMERICA Northern Route Viewed as Unsafe for Commercial Ocean Flying. ISii United Pres* BERLIN. July 16. Amphibious airplanes are the logical type of machine for trans-oceanic flying, according to Otto Merkel, the director of civil aviation, in a speech delivered here recently. Merkel, who is also a director of the Lufthansa, added that although the amphibious plane Was the ultimate objective, seaplanes were the only type of machine suitable for long-distance over-water flying at the present time. The amphibious plane has not yet reached a sufficiently high stage of development, he declaerd. Merkel was describing the Lufthansa’s air program, which is reliably understood to be the govern-

ment’s policy as well. The Lufthansa has determined, he announced, to collaborate with foreign aviation circles in an effort to bring trans-Atlantic flying within the range of practical commercial operations. After an exhaustive study of the numreous possible routes across the Atlantic, company experts have decided that the Cape Verde-Brazil hop offers the greatest advantages as a field for the first commercial experimentation. The flight from Ireland to Newfoundland is judge climatically inadvisable since a year-round service would be impossible. It was even felt that a route via Iceland and Greenland would be better than the hop to Newfoundland. Merkle said that the Condor Syndicate, with which the Lufthansa organization is affiliated, Is already operating a service from Pernambuco to Montivideo. “It is only necessary to link this service with a line from Europe, through Spain to the Cape Verde Islands and so across to northern Brazil,” explained Merkel. The Lufthansa plans to collaborate with the steamship lines in inaugurating this service, thus doing away with the latent rivalry which has long existed between the two interests. HURT BY PROPELLER Noted Society Woman Near Death. B.'i United Preen WASHINGTON, July 16.—Mrs. Hhgh D. Auchincloss, noted young society woman, was near death today at Providence Hospital with a deep wound inflicted in her head by a whirling airplane propeller. She remained unconscious and although noted a “very slight” improvement in her condition they would not predict her recovery. Mrs. Auchincloss and several friends took an air ride Sunday. Landing at the naval air station here she hurried from the passenger’s cabin toward the other side of the ship, apparently to thank the pilot. She was struck down bji the propeller blade. Dr. H. G. Grove gave a pint of his blood in a transfusion effort. Mrs. Auchincloss, 26, has been prominent in relief work for Russia and in the Far East. She has figured socially here, in New York City, Newport, R. 1., Palm Beach and large European cities. Buys New Biplane Here Anew Travel Air biplane, brought here from Wichita, Kan., Friday by Bob Shank, Hoosier airport president, has been sold to Charles P. Thompson of Huntington, W. Va„ former student of the airport.

—Aviation — FLIERS’ CRASH SPURS PLAN TO ENLARGE FIELD Pilots Hit Tree in Tract Offered to City for Airport Runway. Plans for increasing size of the Indianapolis airport will be rushed to completion, it was indicated today, as result of the accident in which two National Guard fliers were seriously injured Sunday. Adjutant General William H. Kershner today expressed the hope immediate steDs would be taken to acquire 282 r res of land adjacent to the alrpor an option on which has been obtained by James W. Hurt, City Trust Company real estate manager. * Lieut. Carroll D. Doak and Sergt. John L. Long were seriously injured Sunday when their plans struck a tree on land included in Hurt’s option. Would Provide 474 Acres The 282 acres under option would provide a 474-acre airport with runways of nearly a mile in every direction. Hurt obtained the option for ninety days at an approximate price of SBOO an acre. He represented the Indianapolis Airport Corporation and the State armory board. The enlarged airport would be one of the finest in the country. According to Capt. H. Weir Cook, Army aviation instructor attached to the observation squadron, the field would be better than those of Cleveland, Chicago, St. Louis and Louisville, and would cost less. The new airport would be “L” shaped, extending a mile along the Holt Rd. to Morris St. and west along Morris St. to where the Pennsylvania railroad tracks intersect the northwest corner. Coast-to-Coast Field Captain Cook has received a letter from Paul Henderson, Chicago, assuring him Indianapolis will be a stop city on the transcontinental proposed air transport corporation, of which Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh is technical committee head, if an airport suitable for large transport planes is provided. Captain Cook said Maj. H. C. Ferguson and Capt. Phil Love, who visited the city recently in interest of the new transcontinental passenger line, tentatively approved use of the Indianapolis airport, providing the increased land was obtained. Guard Against Crashes Cook was enthusiastic over plans for enlarging the airport. "The Indianapolis airport must be improved to prevent future accidents,” he said. “It’s too bad it takes a serious accident such as that Sunday to prove the necessity for a larger field and for removing adjacent obstables.” U. S. Plans Funeral Bv United Preis NEW YORK, July 16.—When the body of Capt. Emilio Carranza starts on its trip to Mexico City Wednesday, one of the greatest demonstrations of friendship and sympathy in ‘bf the two neighboring republics will be witnessed. While the body of Mexico’s good--will aviator lay in state in a little flower-banked chapel on upper Broadway, officials were completing plans L>r the funeral. One of the greatest military and funeral corteges that New York City ever has seen will escort the body to the Pennsylvania station Wednesday. West Point cadets will command the six-horse caisson on which the casket will be carried. * More than 10,000 troops, a large squadron of planes and delegations from both Mexican and American patriotic organizations will act as escort.

Vienna Greets Fliers B-u United Press VIENNA, July 16.—Capt. Hermann Koehl and Baron Von Huenfeld, the two German members of the crew of the trans-Atlantic monoplane Bremen, arrived at Aspern flying field here from Nuremberg to receive the plaudits of a Vienna throng. Bring Accessories by Plane Motor truck parts needed in a rush order were brought to Indianapolis In a Waco 10 plane today by two Danville Aviation Company pilots from Danville, 111., to be machined at the Indiana Watkins Manufacturing Company plant. The plane waited at Hoosier afrport to return the parts this afternoon. Air Mail Celebrations South Bend and La Porte will hold celebrations Tuesday when service Is started on the new Chi-cago-Michigan air mail route. City officials of South Bend and Kalamazoo, Mich., also on the route, will make trips between the cities by plane, the Michigan men coming into Indiana first, then a combined party going to Kalamazoo. The La Porte Chamber of Commerce Is arranging a program In which the La Porte boys band, Mayor John Line and Postmaster P. O. Small will take part. Bogota Flier Down Bn United Press DILLON, S. C., July 16.—Lieut. Camillo Daza, Colombian flier, will send his wrecked airplane to Ft. Bragg, N. C., today on Army trucks. He will continue his flight to Bogota later, he announced. The plane was damaged yesterday when the aviator, en route from Washington to Bogota, was forced down by engine trouble. The lower wings of the big biplane were broken and the motor slightly damaged. Daza was uninjured. Lieutenant Daza had intended to stop at Ft. Bragg, he said, but because of storms over the Carolinas and being unfamiliar with the territory, he failed to sight the Army camp. Two Army trucks arrived here from Ft. Bragg early today to transport the plane there.
