FLYING BOAT’S RECORD FEAT GETS ATTENTION British Experts Aroused by Perfprmance of Dornier Plane. BY KEITH JONES I’fllted Staff Correspondent LONDON, Oct. 22.—Consideration bv the forthcoming five-power naval • onferencc of the entire question of modern aircraft and super steamship building appeared today as a strong possibility. The record breaking performance of the Dornier flying boat Dox, which carried 169 persons aloft at Lake Coristance Monday, .centered attention of British exports on the keen international struggle for air and water transportation supremacy which has arisen simultaneously with the five-power movement to curtail naval competition. The full importance of the competition is indicated by the observation in British sources that the Dox potentially is one of the world's most terrible instruments of destruction. It was pointed out that, if the ship were to be converted into a bomb-carrier, it could transpoit twenty-four bombs of 1,000 pounds each and. as a flying boat, would be effective particularly against fleets and naval bases. Developments Are Cited In eAinection with the situation today, the following developments are cited as showing the trend of rivalry: 1. Subsequent to the first flight of the Dox, the British air ministry asked for bids on a number of experimental flying boats, on which there is no limit or restriction at present. 2. Although Great Britain has completed the first of two dirigibles, each nearly twice the size of the famous Graf Zeppelin, the United States is reported contemplating a dirigible double the size of the British craft, R-100 and R-101. 3. Tlie North German-Lloyd liner Bremen has wrested trans-Atlantic speed honors from the Mauretania of the Cunard line, but France, Britain and the United States already are drafting plans for superliners to capture the Bremen's leadership. 4. Italy and Japan have completed new luxury motor-liners which are capturing a big share of the EuropeSouth American and trans-Pacific ocean traffic.

Ship Completion Severe The steamship completion has become so severe that F. C. Munson, president of the Munson Shipping I:ne, recently suggested a conference similar to the scheduled fivepower naval conference for the purpose of enabling shipping companies to reach an agreement on the size and speed and number of new liners. It was pointed out that the super liners now planned will be available as auxiliary cruisers and fast i troop transports if they should be needed. Thus the question may be raised as to whether fast liners should not be counted in with a nation's naval strength, the same as trained reserves are counted in with land strength.

FIGHT SCHOOL FUND Galveston Residents Would Enjoin Relief Petition. Suit by nine Galveston residents to enjoin the state of Indiana from providing money for relief of public schools in the town was on file today in Marion circuit court, naming Roy P. Wisehart, state public instruction superintendent, and six other state officials as defendants. Plaintiffs are Reed Patterson et al., who filed the suit in behalf of Galveston taxpayers. Litigation originated when Galveston school trustees applied for school relief, totaling several thousand dollars, June 7, for the school year 1928-29 and 1929-30. The complaint avers Indiana statutes provide no funds for school relief can be petitioned between June 1 and Dec. 31 of any year. It also was charged that Wisehart failed to make an investigation of school needs before granting the petition.

$875,000 Bond Issue Is Voted for City Hospital

Amendment in Council Will Defer Contract Awards Until Jan. 4. Steps to advertise an $875,000 bond issue for the city hospital building program were begun today by City Controller Sterling R. Holt, in accordance with the ordinance passed Monday night by city council. The ordinance authorizing the bond issue for the second part of the' program passed council unanimously, after amendment on motion of John F. White, health chairman. White’s motion withheld appropriation of the money to the board of health until after bids are received so the council still will have “strings on the fund.” It was first believed that withholding the appropriation would defer the awarding of contracts until the next administration, but Council President Edward B. Raub Sr., suggested the appropriation ordinance be introduced next meeting and advertised concurrently with | the bond issue ordinance. The money is expected to be available about Dec. 1, wl?en bonds , begin bearing 41i per cent interest, j The bond issue will go to erection of a five-story out-patient and laboratory building, new laundry, electrical time, fire and signal system, change over of power, heat and light connections from the old power unit, and remainder of fees for architects and engineers. Dr. William A. Doeppers, hospital superintenednt, Clarence Hess, business manager, and Dr. H. S. Leonard, health board president, declared the council would have crippled the entire program if it had made an arbitrary slash of $50,000, as was contemplated.

CRISIS PASSES; FRENCH ‘TIGER’ RESTS EASILY Clemenceau Is Out of Distress Following Heart Attack. Bv Vnitrrt Vrrm> PARIS. Oct. 22.—Georges Clemenceau, former premier of France, awoke today prepared to claim a victory against the serious heart attack which brought him to the verge of death during the last thirty-six hours. Monday night was a comparatively easy one for the sick statesman. He fell asleep, shortly after the doctors left at 9 p. m. but a Sister of Mercy remained at his bedside, throughout the night, in case he should need assistance. Before departing, Dr. Charles Laubry, noted heart specialist, who attended Marshal Ferdinand Foch in the latter's dying hours, declared himself more or less satisfied that the crisis had passed, at least temporarily. Laubry, however, ordered the Sister of Mercy to summon him should “The Tiger” have any difficulty whatsoever with his breathing. During the night all was quiet
