DOOLITTLE 1$ STAR OF CITY'S SKYWAYS SHOW Dedication Over, Airport Gets Down to Its Business Routine. BY LOWELL NUSSBAUM Time* A nation Editor Municipal airport today settled down to its ordinary business routine following a brilliant three-day dedication program which was brought to a close late Sunday. Unmarred by accidents, despite the dozens of planes constantly flashing through the sky in daring maneuvers, city officials and visiting pilots were unanimous in declaring the dedication a great success. The only drawback was the heavy rain which forced postponement of Friday afternoon’s program, and the chilliness and high winds of Saturday and Surgjay, which reduced the attendance. High point on Sunday’s program was departure of Major Jimmy Doolittle for Chicago, after he had flashed across the field in his re-cord-breaking Laird at a speed estimated at 300 miles an hour. Doolittle Sets Record In the face of a stiff headwind, Doolittle streaked to Chicago, a flight of 166 air miles, to have his plane streamlined to increase its speed, in the record time of 46 minutes, an average of 216 miles an hour. Previously he had set anew record for the 235 miles from St. Louis to Indianapolis in 57 minutes, an average of 246 miles an hour. Other thrilling events on Sunday’s program included a series of astonishing stunts performed by Miss Dorothy Hester, America's most daring woman pilot; an acrobatic contest won by Freddie Lund, premier commercial stunter; several speedy races, departure of more than seventy-five visiting army, navy and national guard planes, parachute jump by Gene Rock, Ft. Wayne, in which he dropped more than 3,000 feet before opening his parachute, and ten parachute-jump-ers leaping almost simultaneously from a tri-motored Ford. Crash Barely Averted An interesting exhibition of flying also was given by Captain Lewis Yancey, Transatlantic flier, in the Champion Spark Plug autogiro. The thousands of spectators received probably their greatest thrill when a commercial plane, which took off during the national guard race, narrowly escaped being struck by a fast guard plane flown in the race by Captain Earl W. Sweeney. Spectators gasped with horror as

100 Cents on $1 By United Prrs * CHICAGO. Sept. 28.—The Mayfair State Savings bank today sent notices to depositors that it will close Sept. 30, but that it has enough cash on hand to pay every cent of its $300,000 in deposits. "It is the Apt time in history. I believe” said State Auditor Oscar Nelson, "that a bank has gone out of business voluntarily . and paid 100 cents on the dollar.” T. B. McGrath Jr., president, said the only reason the bank is closing is that it can not make money.

Sweeney, rounding a pylon in front of the grandstand, skillfully threw his plane to one side, missing the commercial plane by only a few feet. While acrobatic pilots were flying overhead, the formal dedication program was held and two plaques to be erected in the Administration building lobby were unveiled. Oratory Marks Ceremony Speakers on the dedication program were William P. MacCracken Jr., former assistant secretary of aeronautics, department of commerce; Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan, former Mayor L. Ert Slack, Ernest C. Ropkey, city council president and dedication general chairman; Mrs. Kate Milner Rabb, A. H. Wait, department of commerce airport specialist; Louis J. Borinstein, Chamber of Commerce president, who acted as master of ceremonies; Rabbi M. M. Feuerlicht, the Rev. Maurice F. O’Connor, St. Joan of Arc Catholic church pastor, and the Rev. Ira C. Dawes, First Friends church pastor. At the close of the program Miss Martha Rose Scott released seven-ty-five racing pigeons and Charles E. Cox Jr., airport superintendent, left the port flying the City of Indianapolis, carrying Mrs. Rabb, Mrs. D. Fenton Thompson, Mrs. Florence Webster Long and Miss Mary Bingham.

dollars in loot and two alleged suspects were arrested by police. When Charlas Bain, attendant at a Sinclair filling station at White river boulevard and Michigan street, offered his services to two men Sunday, they trained revolvers on him and obtained $125, he told police. In another filling station robbery, two bandits Sunday obtained S2O from James McCreery, 22, attendant at a station at Broadway and Tenth street, he informed officers. Two alleged burglars, charged with the robbery of the C. E. Martin meat store, 1408 East Washington street, were arrested by police unday. They are Ted Erzozowski, 16, of Chicago and William Miller, 21, Police said the duo admitted ran-

COPS GIVEN NEW LEGAL SETBACK Another Blockade Set Up in Pool Ticket War. Anew legal question may join other blockades to conviction of alleged gamblers in municipal courts as the result of arraignment of George Rosner, who recently was convicted of operating a lottery, before Judge Clifton R. Cameron on a similar charge today. Rosner was arrested in an Illi-

nois street shoe store, where a patrolman said he saw him sell baseball pool tickets to a clerk. The policeman arrested him, and took a book of tickets from Rosner's pocket he said. Judge Cameron said the policeman had no right to make the search until the prisoner was taken to the turnkey’s office in city prison. From the bench Judge Cameron asked: “What is the source of these tickets?" “Why arrest these minor violators?” Outside the courtroom police recalled that when printing shops publishing books of baseball and other pool tickets were raided, pro-
