25-Million Candlepower Searchlight New Rival for Carlson-Arc Type.

By Beience Service LYNN, Mass, Oct. 26—A new rival for the time-honored carbonarc searchlights has appeared in a 25,000,000 candlepower searchlight, using three tiny water-cooled mercury arcs, which has been developed

here by the General Electric Co.

e present-day searchlights need an attendant to adjust the carbons for best illumination, the new searchlight does not wear out, needs no. adjustment and is designed for lights in inaccessible places. Ninety gallons of water an hour are pumped through the cooling containers of the mercury arcs and then passed to an automobile-type radiator where the fluid is cooled for recirculation.

Col. Roscoe Turner announced today he would begin to train fliers at the Municipal Airport early next

ment had been reached on the basis of an inventory of the Corporation’s assets and that certain legal details now remain to be completed. The Thompson trophy winner said that he already holds contracts from foreign governments to train

fliers for military purposes, but de- ||;

clined to identify the governments. “Of course there may not be enough room to run a complete training course in the airport's existing facilities,” Mr, Turner said. “What I'll have to do is probably rent hangar space at other nearby airports for the time- being.” Asserting that his enterprise would stimulate aviation here, Col. Turner predicted that Indianapolis

“I think you have one of the finest airports in the country now but I don’t think you have developed it sufficiently. “It's going to be necessary for me to revive aeronautical interest here. When that’s done, you just watch your airpor* grow. “Aviation is still in its infancy. It hasn't even heen weaned yet and it has a lot of growing to do. - “I'm going to put in a lot of my hard-earned cash. . . . I've already invested $150,000 now. . . ~~ When I get going I'll be orie of the largest independent operators in this country.”

RULING AWAITED ON G. M. DEFENSE PLEA

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Oct. 26 (U. P.).—Defense attorneys will present in Pederal Court today memoranda to support their contention that 17 officials of General Motors and three affiliated concerns have not been connected by Government testimony with anti-trust charges against the companies. At the same time, the defense will begin calling witnesses. The defendants are charged with coercing dealers to usé the General Motors Acceptance Corp. to finance car sales. Late yesterday, after the Government rested, Judge Watler Lindley overruled defense motions to dismiss the charges and. to strike certain portions of Government testimony from the records.
