Aviation AKRON CENTER OF DIRIGIBLE WORKIN U. S. Goodyear Company Has Zep Patents and Builds Huge Airship ‘Dock.’ H*re i thv flr*t 3 by Ernie Plyle on dirltiblo* written after spending teveral aaya in Akron. They tell of amazing development* in thia new industry in America, suggest what airships ran and rz.n not ao. and answer aueatlon* that lie in the minds of all persons having anv Interest In avlation—S. H. N. A. BY ERNIE PYLE AKRON. O . Sept. 10—Just as Friederricshafca is known all over the world as the home of the great Zeppelin, so Akron seems destined to become world-famous as the center of America's lighter-than-air activity. America has been conscious of dirigibles only in a vague and disinterested sort of way, but the recent impressive flights of the Graf Zeppelin have so stirred the country that all eyes are turning toward Akron. The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company was established in 1898, and so saw the birth of the automotive industry. Free Balloons Studied Goodyear, as early as 1910, was studying the making of free balloons. It even laid out its own flying field at Wingfoot lake, ten miles east of Akron, and built a large airship hangar. In 1913 it won its first international balloon race, flying out of Paris. Since then there have been Goodyear balloons in every national race end most of the internationals. Since 1912 Goodyear has built more than 1.000 balloons and 100 airships in Akron. Most of the airships were of the non-rigid “blimp” type, for the army and navy. Goodyear, in 1925, built a small commercial blimp called the Puritan. It still is flyng. It was of 50,000 cubic foot gas capacity, only onefiftieth the size of the dirigible Los Angeles. Sister ships to the Puritan have been built until Goodyear has a fleet of six. The largest and newest is the Defender, which carries 160,000 cubic feet of helium and hauls eight persons. Gets Zeppelin Rights Also in 1925 came the move that sent Goodyear off as one of the dirigible leaders of the world. In that year the company took over the rigid airship patents, processes and rights of the Zeppelin company for North America. The GoodyearZepnelin corporation w’as formed. Dr. Karl Arnstein, in charge of all design and construction of seventy airships for the German organization, was placed in charge of the work at Akron. When the United States navy, in 1927. called for bids on two huge dirigibles, each of 6,500.000 cubic feet capacity. Goodyear-Zeppelin submitted the prizewinning design. The contract was signed last October. The company had to have something to build them in. Work was started on a dock at the municipal airport here. Dock is the lighter-than-air word for hangar. This dock is nearly half finished.! It will be done next spring. Next:—A Building That Would Would Swallow the Woolworth. SIOO,OOO Plane Here One of the most modern monoplanes qver seen here, a Fokker F-10-A. valued at more than SIOO- - stopped for an hour at the Cartiss-Mars Hill airport Monday.

Round Two! World Fistic Champ Faces Judicial Ire for Spree.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 10.— Mickey Walker, world's middleweight boxing champion, faced another round in court today with the odds greatly in favor of his opponent—the city of T Angeles. Mickey’s guarantee was only SIOO, considerably less than the ones usually put up by his manager, Jack Kearns, but it was sufficient to bring the “Toy Bulldog” into municipal court to explain a bottle of liquor found in his possession when police entered a Hollywood apartment Sunday night. The police were called to stop Mickey from wasting any more of his high-priced uppercuts on nonappreciative opponents. Mickey, according to police, had the situaation well in hand when police arrived at the apartment of Miss Dorothy Davis, film extra. It was the climax of a glorious night which started with a fight in Laurel canyon and included several minor engagements at intermediate hot dog stands. The main event had ended when the police arrived. Walker had a chair draped about his shoulders. Unconscious on the floor lay Gordon Sweeney, director. Bending over him were Ray Hallor, 24, and Arthur Houseman, 26, actors. They had started the evening together, but apparently there had been a disagreement. Walker wasn't very clear about it in police court. The apartment was in confusion and Miss Davis was in hiding. The four men, taken to police headquarters, were fined S2O each and released under SIOO bond pending their appearance today. Farmer Hurt by Door ANDERSON, Ind., Sept. 10.— Cyrennis P. Hull, farmer living south of here, was caught by a barn door blown shut during a storm and was severely bruised.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

G. Q. P. WILL HAVE ALL-YEAR WORkmSTAFF New Chairman Will Match Democratic Efforts to Garner Votes. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pres* Staff Correipondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The new Republican national chairman. Claudius H. Huston of Tennessee, is preparing today to match the activity of Democrats by placing the Republican national party organization on an all-around-the-year basis. Huston has told his party colleagues the work, of party organization is not a spasmodic affair, but a year-round task, and party headquarters here are to be reorganized on that basis. It appears as if politics, at last, is yielding to the urge for efficiency, for both national party organizations are being placed on a more business-like basis. Democrats at Work John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, has established his organization on a permanent basis by placing Jouett Shouse, executive chairman, in charge of headquarters here with a large ' staff. Shouse’s pounding of the house tariff bill is regarded as having been partly responsible for the scaling down which the senate committee did. Huston’s task will be much different from that of Shouse. The Democrats are so badly divided internally the question of candidates must be held in the background while the wounds of 1928 are healed. Smith Is Mentioned Some friends of Alfred E. Smith believe he is a possibility for the Democratic nomination next time. Republican leaders believe they will have to fight a man more acceptable to the south than Smith and Huston's job is likely to be more diffifficult than that of his predecessor. He is the first Republican national chairman from south of the Mason and Dixon line. Huston is an original Hoover man and will exert himself to see his chief is renominated. Some who were close to Coolidge believe he may seek to be a candidate again in 1932, but this view is not held by most leaders in the organization. They see nothing on the horizon to prevent the renomination of the man who broke the south and carried forty states. ATTORNEY IS BOOMED Appointment of William H. Faust, local attorney, to fill the bench in superior court Room 4, which, it is rumored, may be vacated by Judge Byron K. Elliott, was being sought today by friends of Faust. Faust, a Republican, has been engaged in the practice of law for twenty years, and has sat as judge pro tern in both superior and municipal courts.

RAE TOOTS MIGHTY WARM HARMONICA

The Blue Streak of Vaudeville Tells the Whole World to Get on the Sunny Side of. Life for a While. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN HARMONICAS may be hot and they may be cold, but when Rae Samuels starts toolin’ her harmonica, well frigid air has no chance in this old world. This is just telling you that The Blue Streak of Vaudeville Is back with us after being absent for four years. The thing you will want to know is—ls Rae Samuels as good today as she was when the two-a-day was the thing? And let me talk right out in meetin’ and tell you that this woman has never been better than this season. In this city at the Lyric this week she is doing four shows a day and she is doing as much at each

show as she did on the two a day. That is taking care of her public. I should say that it is. Her program Is better balanced this season. She comes dashing on telling the world in melody to get on the sunny side

of life because no fellow wants “an undertaker hanging on his neck.” She then tells you about the modern mama who becomes hot when papa becomes bold. She then tells you about her “it” man and if you see him running about it is for no good "because his its hers” and the like. She then becomes the old

k ; Rae Samuels

rube character of other days and tells you about the hot five piece jazz band she has. She then produces her harmonica, blows fire in it and stops the show. When I was present at the Lyric Miss Samuels showed no signs of slowing up. She loves her public and she went into an encore, a talksong about real estate in California and then wound up with a curtain talk. And this is being noticed—She is getting applause the second that her name is flashed on the screen. This season she has a male pianist for the first time. And she tells you about that. And this man can play a piano. The big time headliners will do well to study the method of Rae Samuels. She gives all she has four times a day. She does rui complain. It is true that she is getting an enormous salary for four shows a day but she is working like a house on fire and packing

them in. She makes the audiences happy. Names count these days, j but there must be talent and showmanship to sustain a name. There is no going back for Rae Samuels. She is still the Blue Streak of Vaudeville. She is at her best this season. The baseball fans will like the noisy but natural offering of the Four Ball Players. They turn the stage into a baseball diamond and even run down into the aisles. De Bee and Hudson go in for melody. They succeed in that, but the comedy efforts on part of the man is not so forty. The Kiefer Trio is a roller skating act. The movie feature is called “Why Leave Home.” It was made from a rather naughty stage play called “The Cradle Snatchers.” The movie tells the story of how three wives “rent” three college boys as playmates while their husbands are duck hunting. Yes, they were duck hunting. Lots of laughs in this picture. It would have been better if the movie version had stuck closer to the stage play. Now at the Lyric. a a a Other theaters today offer: “Speedway” at the Palace. “The Cocoanuts” at the Ohio, “Words and Music” at the Apollo, “Dark Streets” at the Indiana, “Fast Life” at the Circle, movies at the Colonial, and “The Merry Whirl” at the Mutual.
