JENNINGS SAYS HE'LLKEEPWPA' QUT OF POLITICS

All Violators of Hatch Law

Will Be Fired, Indiana Official Asserts.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.—“Any WPA worker or official caught playing politics in Indiana will he fired.” That was the fron-clad rule enunciated here by John K. Jennings, Indiana WPA Administrator, last night before leaving for Indiana after a two-day conference at Works Progress Administration headquarters. t He declined to comment directly on the statement sent cut last week by Indiana Democratic State Committee headquarters criticizing the Hatch “no-politics” law as it applies to WPA. Recalls Previous Stand

“I intend to live up to the provisions of that law and so I expect every man in the organization to do likewise,” Mr. Jennings asserted. “Long before the Hatch law was passed I went on record as absolutely opposed to using relief money, from whatever Government source, to play politics and foster patronage.: “Every provision of that law was put into effect by me under our own rules during the last election. Now that it has been written into the statutes, I will do everything in my power to see that it is obeyed.” : Shuns State Politics Mr. Jennings pointed out that he turns down all invitations to take part in Democratic Party rallies throughout the State, even in his own home town of Evansville. “I. often have been a delegate to the Democratic national convention, but I will not be one next year if I still am on this WPA job,” he declared.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25 (NEA). — Long range bombers from Germany dropping death charges on British

-|naval bases are giving the world a

preview of the new techniques of aerial war and defense developed since 1918. The bombers are working some 500 miles from their bases on these raids. At their objectives, they must either chance a hit from a curtain of fire that stretches up five to almost six miles or drop their explosives» from a point above this range. Bombs can be dropped with reasonable accuracy from as high as 35,000 feet, but more effective is dive bombing. Armament on bombers usually is

confined to 30-caliber macnine guns, protruding from all sides, used for defense. Crews range from four to 11 men. The minimum complement comprises a pilot, co-pilot, radio man and bomber. Ships carry upward of 2000 pounds of bombs.

As a bombing squadron appreaches its objective, the ships spread out and double back at various angles, dropping bombs. In dive bombing, ships plunge inward alternately, dropping their charges just before they level off.

Aerial fighting has forged through ineredible developments since the old “Jenny” days of 1917-18. But of four types of combat planes, only one, the pursuit, is fitted as an offensive fighter against other planes. The single-combat pursuit plane, rigged with forward guns that fire rhythmically through the propeller, is the only type “capable of participating in a “dog fight.” It is built for the single purpose of attacking and destroying enemy craft. The pilot has one 30-caliber and one 50-caliber machine gun, both fired with electric switches.

Pursuit planes set out for their prey in formation of three to 100

U.S. Planes Are Serving . And Not Destroying Man

. Our domestic airlines are increasing schedules and their business is booming. Pan-American Airways is serving commercial transportation where surface ships dare not venture for fear of submarines. British demand for cargo ships has halted sea travel between the

United States and Bermuda, haven of American refugees from cold weather.” Recently a delegation from that peaceful island came to Washington, beginning increased Pan-American schedules between Port Washington and Bermuda.

Bermuda practically relies upon 80-odd thousand American winter tourists, and the Civil Aeronautics Authority gallantly came through with approval for the required PanAmerican schedules.

. Pan-American, having finished its summer operations from Port Washington via Newfoundland to Ireland, is now concentrating on full time, full-equipment flights from the United States to Europe via Bermuda and the Azores. - As matters stand, the line plans to handle 250 passengers per week to Bermuda with four weekly schedules in and out of the island. While flying both Northern and Southern routes to Europe—the Northern being about a thousand miles shorter—Pan-American had a hard time holding expenses within the necessity for charging the same fare for either. But that’s all equalized, now that the Northern route is out for the winter. The fare to Europe is $295, comparing favorably with a first-class cabin accommodation on the speed liners.
