GUY'S FUTURE AS AIR CENTER MADRERTAIN New Port Will Attract Aviation Industries, Says Authority. BY “SKYBALL RUSS” BRINKLEY (In Indianapolis to act as matter of dedication ceremonies at municipal airport, Brinkley, aviation expert through twelve years’ close affiliation with flying, here gives Times readers his reasons for regarding this city “the crossroads of the air.” During the threeday airport program, he will answer readers’ aviation questions through the loud-speaker system at the port. Leave your question at The Times office or at the airport. Here we are, Indianapolis! The vanguard of the huge aerial fleet that will make your city it’s headquarters for the week-end.

It’s competitors in the establishment of airports. These cities, realizing the future progress of aviation, do not intend to lag behind in the furnishing of a suitable terminal which will mark their community as a port of call. Indianapolis has provided an air terminal which may be rated as second to none. The receipt of an A-l-A rating is the best proof of this. Public Now Air-Minded Five years ago, it was a difficult matter to convince the general public of the necessity of a municipally owned and operated airport. Taxpayers figured that such a venture should be undertaken by private individuals or organizations. Today, the public has been convinced of the merits of municipally owned airports and is glad to maintain such institutions. During the last year, I have been engaged in a nation-wide aviation survey tour. While on this tour, I visited every airport in the United States and in no instance did I come across a more adequate airport’ than you have right here in Indianapolis. Every Indianapolis resident may point with pride to the aviation base which may be termed correctly the "crossroads of the air.” City Natural ‘Hub’ Centrally located in the most densly populated section of the United States, Indianapolis is the hub of transportation and communication. In years to come, municipal airport will play as important a part as does your railroad terminal for the modern generation demands speed, comfort and safety and air transportation is the answer.

merce calls for speed and flying is the answer. With the dedication of the Indianapolis municipal airport comes anew nation-wide official recognition of your city. By providing an adequate nest for birds of the air, Indianapolis takes it’s place on the air map as more than a mere speck. Indianapolis will be marked as a star city. This means that Indianapolis provides an air terminal of the highest rating and is equipped to handle all aviation requirements. It is my personal opinion that from a manufacturing and distribution logical city for the manufacturing of aircraft. It’s central location and manufacturing facilities, makes this city a favorite site for an aircraft factory. I am sure that in a short time, manufacturers will be convinced of this fact and bring their plants to Indianapolis. By erecting their plants near the airport, test work might be carried on with a higher degree of safety. Machines could be produced here at a lower cost, a fact appreciated by those who expect to own airplanes when prices suit their pocketbooks. After 12 years close affiliation with all branches of the aviation industry, in all parts of the country, I predict, with a major degree of certainty that Indianapolis is slated to become the seal “crossroads of the air.” Today, Saturday and Sunday,

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

THOUSANDS SEE GIANT OF SKIES IN NIGHT RIDE Lights Blink From Cabins as Mammoth Akron Soars Over Ohio. By United Press AKRON, 0., Sept. 25.—Naval officials conferred on further tests for the U. S. S. Akron today after the giant air liner’s initial night flight, a moonlight cruiser over northern Ohio. The airship, now a "veteran” of two short trips aloft, was to be “thoroughly tested” today, according to Rea®< Admiral G. W. Day, chairman of the naval board of inspection and survey. Declaring the night flight “a success for the purposes intended,” Day said the huge aerial cruiser flew at an altitude of between 2,000 and 2,500 feet during the three hours and fifty minutes she was in the air. At Lieutenant Commander Charles E. Rosendahl’s command, the Akron slipped away from the GoodyearZeppelin airdock at 6:55 p. m. After cruising over Wooster, 0., approximately twenty-five miles from here, the ship returned to Akron, the moonlight casting a silver glint from her streamlined sides. Vari-colored lights blinked from her control cabins, and the shadowy forms of her crew and official passengers were seen as they passed lighted windows opposite lateral gangways in the ship’s hull. • The flight, made to test the ship’s maneuverability and measure the arc of turns, was completed at 9:45. A totgil of 109 men, the crew, naval inspectors and Goodyear-Zeppelin Corporation officials were aboard. In the face of a stiff wind aloft, the flying sailors wore their furlined coats. Official passengers donned topcoats for the voyage. The ship’s heating system, developed from the exhaust of her engines, was not turned on. The airship cruised at various speeds, never traveling faster than fifty miles an hour. There were no attempts to stunt the $5,375,000 ship.

end by Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald and Stanley Baldwin, the Daily Express said today. The Daily Express claimed MacDonald would return to London today, instead of on Monday as he had planned, to confer with Baldwin on an immediate appeal to the country. The prime minister was expected to make a statement in the house of commons Monday and announce the national government’s decision Wednesday. The issue apparently was brought to a climax by the decision of a majority of the Conservative party favoring an immediate election and pledging support to MacDonald if he observed general conservative policies. Baldwin, the marquis of Reading and other members of the national government announced previously that they considered an

election dangerous at present. Their view was shared by most British bankers and business men. MacDonald left London two days ago to rest at a country rotreat and recuperate from the strain of holding a front line position in Britain '3 swiftly changing political scene during recent weeks. He was believed to hold the secret of whether a general election, with its great expense, loss of parliamentary function, and creation of uncertainty in business and finance, should be risked while the nation attempts to right its financial and economic structure. If a general election is held, Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Snowden will not be a candidate. Snowden considered the introduction of his recent budget the last act of his parliamentary career.
