Aviation PLANES GIVEN AWAY TO SPUR ITALIAN FLYING Mussolini Plans Gifts of $2,500,000 Worth of Aircraft. Bu Times Hocnial ROME, Italy. Jan. 18—Premier Mussolini has hit upon a plan to assure to Italy a supply of proficient pilots that will appeal to the hun- | dreds of American ex-fliers who yearn to keep their hand in at the stick. It is nothing more nor less than a gift of *2.500,000 worth of planes to the reserve air officers of the country. Recent observers in Italy have found that aviation in Italy is booming as it is nowhere else. The premier recently arranged a competition among Italian manufacturars for a small, moderately priced, but efficient training and sport twoseater plane. Planes Must Stand Gaff These planes, although built for commercial use, must stand up under all the stresses and strains of a military craft. To the one or two manufacturers who win the competition will go the contract '-r 1,000 of these planes, which will be distributed to 1,000 reserve flying officers. Each recipient, in addition to a plane free of charge, will be granted free hangar space and the government will supply gas and oil at cost. In return, the reserve officer must agree to fly a minimum number of hours each month, when, where and with whom he pleases. Can Fly as He Pleases He can go on cross-country jaunts or short hops either for business or pleasure. If for some reason he chooses to or must give up flying the planes goes back to the government and then is turned over to another reservist on the same terms. At the end of four if a reserve officer keeps his plane, he receives clear title to it. Cincy Air Field Soon Ready The first building on Cincinnati’s new municipal field, Lunken airport, is nearly completed and soon will be occupied. It is a shop and hangar, designed by Kruckmeyer & Strong, and will accommodate planes up to 110 feet in span. Dikes are being built to protect the field from water and will take about seven more months to complete. The Embry-Riddle company has leased the first twelve hangars to be erected by the city to continue its operation of the air transport lines, flying school and aerial photography laboratories, using the field as aj base. Test Pilot at 60 The oldest test phot in the United States has passed his sixtieth birthday and has only recently learned to fly. For many years he has been active in the design or production of a popular automobile known as the Ford, and only comparatively lately did he turn his attention to aircraft. He is chief engineer of the Ford Motor company, director of Transcontinental Air Transport, and has numerous aeronautical interests. William B. Mayo flies every plane turned out in the Ford aircraft factory at Dearborn, Mich. At first he did not attempt to fly them himself, but it was not long before he began to experiment with the controls, and now, with the great tri-motored passepger transports coming out faster than three a week, Mayo spends much of histime in the air. He has no pilot’s license and does not intend to apply for one. He is not sure that he could qualify in all particulars, but he knows that he can fly, because he does. Hop to Sweden Planned Bu%nitcd Press * COPENHAGEN. Jan. 18.— Details of a proposed second attempt by Bert Hassell and Parker D. Cramer to fly from Rockford, 111., to Stockholm and from Copenhagen back to th? United States, have been made public here.

Hobbs’ party rescued Hassell and Cramer after their unsuccessful attempt to fly from Rockford to Stockholm last year, when they were forced down on the Greenland ice. Professor Hobbs said in his letter that $50,000 already nas been collected toward expenses of this year’s flight. The fliers are expected to leave Rockford in late May or early June. Last year they scheduled stops at Cochrane, Mt. Evans, Reykjavik, Iceland and Stockholm.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

MOTHER FIGHTS PROBATING OF ALLISON WILL Validity of Document Is Attacked in Petition on File. Another chapter in the legal battle over the estate of the late James A. Allison, millionaire manufacturer who died Aug. 3, was opened in probate court late Thursday when Mrs. Myra J. Allison, mother of the former capitalist, filed a petition seeking to have the will and codicil of Mr. Allison held invalid and to have probate of the document refused. Mrs. Sara W. Allison, the first wife, has filed suit in federal court against the second wife, Mrs. Lucile Musset Allison, asking $2,000,000 for alleged alienation of Mr, Allison’s affections. The first Mrs. Allison also filed a probate court suit seeking to have the will admitted for probate. Revocation Is Held In her petition, Mr. Allison’s mother alleged that the will of her son was revoked by him before his death and that mutilation of the codicil also brought about revocation of the document. She alleged that the first Mrs. Allison was not legally an heir, due to a property settlement made with her by Mr. Allison following their divorce, and that the second Mrs. Allison entered into a prenuptial agreement with the deceased for a monthly monetary settlement and that she was to “receive no other part of his estate as heir, widow or otherwise.” The suit averred that the mother was the “only heir at law.” Ready for Issues The total valuation of property here and in Florida, left by Mr. Allison and involved in the will, has been estimated at $2,500,000. Under the will on file in probate court, the mother would have received one-fourth of the estate. The document also provided $50,000 in cash and a life interest in local real estate of Mr. Allison’s for the first wife. Attorneys Frank B. Ross and Eph Inman represent the first Mrs. Allison in her litigation. “We are ready to meet any issues that come up in the matter,” Inman said.
