Aviation EGKENERGUEST OF HONOR AS AIR RACES END 00.000 Accord Zeppelin Commander Mighty Ovation. / United Preen CLEVELAND, Sept. 3.—With the master mariner of the air, Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, as guest of honor, the 1929 national air races and aeronautical exposition, universally acclaimed as the greatest aerial show ever held, came to a brilliant conclusion at dusk Monday before a holiday audience of 100,000. Although the meet officially is at an end, an accumulation of postponed events necessitated extension of the program until today to complete the show. While the Australian pursuit races and the dead stick landing competition is being run off, today will witness an exodus of the more than 500 planes of every description that were stored at the airport during the progress of the races. Show at Chicago Possible It was reported today that next year's show would be held at Chicago. Although Cleveland already lias extended its invitation for the national air races of 1930, it was pointed out that it is the committee's intention to create widespread interest throughout the nation in aviation, and for that reason the next year's show should be shifted to another locality. The contest committee is scheduled to make its decision in January. Dr. Eckener was accorded the mightiest ovation ever bestowed upon any individual in Cleveland since the first visit here of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh two years ago. Four of the nation’s foremost stunt fliers—Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, who forsook his avowed policy of conservatism in the air; Lieutenant Williams, Lieutenant Doolittle and Freddie Lund, civilian daredevil —Monday bade farewell to the spectators with short, thrilling stunt acts.
Sets Commercial Record Probably the most spectacular event of the day was the fifty-mile free-for-all race. Douglas Davis of Atlanta, Ga., piloting a Travelaire, low-wing mystery ship, that has thrilled the crowd with its bursts of speed and unusual performance daily, won first place. Davis established anew world's rpcord for the fastest time ever made by a commercial plane over a closed course. His elapsed time was 14:05.1, and his average speed was 194.9 miles an hour. Only one mishap marred the con'■'uding performance Monday. Sydnor Hall of St. Louis, taxiing to take off from the starting line in the \ustrallan pursuit race for men, timed turtle when the streamlining m his wheel came off. locking the •>heel. Hall was uninjured, but the -'ane was slightly damaged. Huge Air Camera Tested < Science fti rvice DAYTON. 0., Sept. 3.—The world's largest aerial camera, weighing 130 pounds, and measurng about half the height of an average man. just has been tested uccessfully by photograph experts of the army air corps at Wright field here The camera was developed to take widespread ground areas from high altitudes, and is the result of five years of experimentation. The pictures taker are 9 by 18 inches and the roll of film carried is 97 inches wide and 150 feet long. The camera's most novel feature is that its operation is fully automatic, possessing an automatic registering device whereby the elevation of the plane, time, date, and number of negative are noted on one comer of the film. The device is electrically heated, so that it will function at the below-zero temperatures found at altitudes exceeding 40.000 feet. A test plane with a Wasp 420horse power motor especially was devised for the giant camera. The ship has been balanced carefully with a minimum of vibration. It holds six passengers without the camera, but carries only two when the camera is in place. Dangerous Hop Faced KHABAROVSK. Siberia. Sept. 3 —The airplane Land of the Soviets en route from Moscow to New York, arrived here today from Blagoveshehensk. The wheels were removed and the task begun of transforming the nlane into a hydroplane for the nost dangerous portion of the light—the trip to Alaska by way of he Aleutian islands.

BRITISH WILL PROTECT JEWS’ LAMENT RIGHT Proclamation Is Distributed to Arabs by English Planes. Bn United Preen JERUSALEM, Sept. 3.—ln view of the continued reports of Arab movements along the frontiers of transJordania and Syria, the British authorities in Palestine today took further precautions against the danger of an Arab invasion. The forces policing the frontier districts were strengthened and aviators were instructed to keep a sharp eye on any Arab group that might attempt to slip across the frontiers into Palestine. Continued rioting was reported between Arabs and Jews in the northern regions. The British authorities, however, claimed to have the situation under control. Besides tracking down Arab tribes the aviators distributed the proclamation of the British high commismissioner, Sir John Robert Chancellor, dropping the leaflets throughout the populated regions of the country. The proclamation announced suspension of discussions regarding constitutional changes in Palestine. These discussions were initiated by the chancellor in England on request of Arab leaders. “In order to put a stop to mendacious statements on the subject of the wailing wall,” the proclamation said: “I hereby, with the concurrence of his majesty’s government, make it known I intend to give effect to the principles laid down in the white paper of Nov. 19, 1928, after methods of applying them been determined.” This "white paper” protects rights of Jews to lament at the wall of the sacred temple.
Zionist Plan Blamed The following dispatch from Jerusalem, presenting the Arab attitude toward the present disorders in Palestinj, was written by the head of the supreme Moslem council upon request of the United Press. Jewish sources have laid blame for the riots entirely on the shoulders of the Arabs. This dispatch presents the Arab reply to the charges. BY HAJ AMIN EL RUSSEINI Grand Mufti and President of the Supreme Moslem Council of Jerusalem. (Copyright, 1929, by United Press) JERUSALEM, Sept. 3.—Jewish provocations since Aug. 15 followed by actual Jewish attacks on isolated Arab individuals in Jewish quarters furnished the immediate cause of troubles in Palestine. On Aug. 15, a Zionist demonstration walked unauthorized through Arab quarters to Burak, purely Moslem property, where the Zionist flag was illegally hoisted. Moslem was insulted. The troubles were fundamentally engendered by the Zionist policy which, after ten years of experiment, has failed socially, economically and politically. The government, aided by responsible Arabs, will restore order, but permanent settlement of the long standing political dispute and its attendant increasing excitement seems impossible unless a democratic government is established and the Zionist policy changed. After these troubles, Arabs will resume their political activities to end the conflict by peaceful means. Report Village Bombed By United Pret* BEIREUTH, Sept. 3. Unconfirmed reports received hert today" said British airplanes, reconnoitering along the frontier, bombed the village of Sarda in the Marjayoun district, where Arabs appeared to be concentrating, ostensibly with the intention of crossing into Palestine. The village lay within Syrian territory and French forces were immediately hastened to that point.. No casualties were reported. EVERSON TAKES POST The Rev. William G. Everson, Muncie, Ind., a brigadier-general in the Indiana National Guard, today began his duties as the Hoosier “fightin’ parson” adjutant-general of the state’s military forces.
