AERIAL ARMADA TO WAGE 'WAR' OVERGOTHAM Sew York Will See Rea! Example of What a Battle Looks Like. WASHINGTON, April 24.—A picture of what probably would happen if an alien air fleet attempted to bomb New York City will be f resented there May 23, in connecion with the army’s spring air maneuvers, the war department announced today. After assembling over the north Chore of Long Island and the Connecticut coast, scores of bombers, attack planes and observation ships will head west toward the Hudson and follow the river to the Battery. The planes will fly in three tiers, the bottom layer being 1.500 feet up until the Battery is reached. There the ships will drop to the sky-line level, * As the bombardment planes—the lower tier—reach the Battery, about 2 p. m., and are ready to drop deadly bombs, in theory, a fleet of swift pursuit nlares will dive upon them from a height of 5.000 feet. The fast fighters will head Straight for the bombers—streaking down at 250 miles an hour. Then, when only a few hundred feet above the slower, heavier ships, the pursuit planes suddenly will Zoom upward. Following this, attack on the bombers, still other pursuit planes grill dive from a high level on the attack and observation units. Thus, the war department believes, New Yorkers will see a “super-closeup” of what aerial war Is like. After the demonstration, the planes will head for Floyd Bennett flield, which is to be dedicated that day. From New York, the mighty armada of planes will fly to New England for other war games. New Yorkers, however, will have a chance to see the air fleet again on May 26, when it returns to Long Island airdromes.

it to full-fledged manhood In about ten years.” Newspaper publisher, according to Roberts, did not regard the matter seriously until recently, when in 1930 the radio chains carried nearly $28,000,000 in advertising. “With the revenue from radio advertising coming in,” he said, “the broadcasters began to get more ambitious ideas.” “Why not become newspapers of the air? A simple matter to accomplish. “Vast news gathering organizations, supported by newspapers, are j reporting the events of the day in ' all parts of the world. Those events j are published in detail form in the ' newspapers. “All we have to do, reasons the broadcaster, is read what they print I into our microphone. “Better still, we’ll make arrange- ; ments direct with press associations to broadcast their bulletins before any newspaper possibly can put ; them in type. “And again the newspapers, in the role of indulgent parents, failed to protest and paid the bill.” Hungary is such a self-sustaining country that salt is the-only food 5 product it is obliged to import.

‘MISSING’ WAR. ACES LOGATED BY AIRMRPS Lost in Obscurity, 28 Fliers Are Found After Search of Nation. By Bcrippg.Howard newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 24 —The army air corps has found all its missing World war aces.. • The whereabouts of every American flier, who shot down five or more enemy planes during the late war. now is known. A nwespaper item did the trick. About a week ago the air corps published in its “news letter” the fact that it had lo6t track of twentyeight of this country’s World war aces. It didn’t know whether they were dead or alive, or where they were living. Newspapers picked up the story.

Letters and telegrams by the dozen began to pour in to air corps headquarters here. Some were from friends of the “missing” men, some were from the men themselves. Within a week every one of the twenty-eight had been accounted for. Four of them are dead. The others are living in various parts of the United States. The dead are Henry R. Clay of Ft Worth, Leslie J. Rummel of Newark, John K. McArthur of Entiat, Wash., and R. Deb Vernam of New York City. One of the ‘Tost” aviators, now living in the west, wired that he had received thirty-six newspaper clippings from his friends. Another wired that he hoped the war department was hunting him in order to give him the distinguished service cross. With the location of these twentyeight ’‘missing” men, the whereabouts of every American ace is now known, since the others are 6till either in the regular army or reserve corps, or are prominent in commercial aviation. Such well-known aces as Paul Baer, Captain Bill Irwin and Captain John O. Donaldson have been killed in crashes since the war.
