Commenting on the establishment
of new flying fields. It was pointed
ouf that every effort had been made
both In planning new fields and in
the selection for retention of cer
tain ones among those which were
operated during the war to stimulate
commercial aviation and to fulfill the
requirements of national defense. It
has been impossible to achieve this
purpose, however, because of the re
duced strength of the air service, the
enforced concentration of activities
and the consequent lack of operating
personnel for a full complement of
stations.
In this connection the report out
lines the plan for the development
of a comprehensive system of air
ways covering the continental limits
of the I'nlted States. ,
Hriefly stated, the plan contem
plates an organized system of air
ways equipped with adequate meteor
ological and radio stations embrac
ing terminal facilities for aircraft
every 200 miles, routed when pos
sible so as to keep the planes within
gliding distance of substations at all
times and provided with markers for
both day and nUht flying. -
The perfection cf ameh a system. It
is believed, wluld be the greatest
contribution the air service could
make commercial aviation. Inasmuch
as It would prevent the malority of
aircraft accidents, most of which are
caused by forced landings on rough
ground.
"Assuming the enactment of sult
abletogislation covering the legal
phases of air craft operation there
would remain no other vital impedi
ment to the rapid development of
aerial transportation facilities," In
the opinion of General Patrick. "And
not alone to the! commerc.lnl en
deavor would such a system lend Its
aid. The advantages of well defined
routs of aerial travel have already
made themselves apparent in the rou
tine opeartlon of the air service and
would become increasingly so In time
of emergency with the rapid con
"entration of air force units as a
vital concern of national defense."
I'lends for More Men and Money
In regard to the problem of per
sonnel it was declared that the au
thorized strength of the air service,
which consists of 1.001 officers and
8,764 enlisted men, was short of ac
tual requirements. Nevertheless, ac
cording to the report, the present
strength of the service is even below
this figure, due to lack of money for
recruiting and procurement pro
grama. As a result of these Inadequacies.
It was declared, the air service is
operating on a basis which does not
permit the fulfillment of Its mission
and any further reduction will result
In greater deficiencies and onlv a
substantial Increase can enable it to
meet the demands placed upon it.
Furthermore, according to the re
port, there has been no increase in
the number of air service units of
either the national guard or the re
serve officers' training coryps.
In conclusion the report says:
"It la considered that the annual
appropriation for the support of the
air service since the World War has
heen Inadequate. In view of the
rapid development of aviation the
-equlrenients of continued engineer
ing and research work constitute an
Imperative need, while the shortage
of aircraft occasioned by the lack of
funds for replacement will shortly
present an extremely critical siiu
tlon. It Is therefore urgently rec
ommended that a protram be adopt
ed and adhered to until this service
is properly equipped and on an effl-

FRIEDR1CHAFEN, Germany, Nov.
22. (A. P.) Among the Uermana who
opposed as Impractical the Idea of
'mint Zeppelin, when Ilia dirigible air
ship plans were announced some 20
years ago, wan Dr. Hugo Eckener,
now one of the chiefs of the Zeppelin
company here which Is building the
Cll-i for the I'nlted Stales navy.
According to Ihe present schedule
!r. Eckener, It appears, will act as the
pilot of Zlt 3 when the big whip starts
ler trans-Atlantic flight next spring.
Ho will have under hi m a German
?rew of about 24 men, all expert in
their respective lines, nnd Including
jcvoral officers who saw much Zep
pelin service during the war.
The Zeppelin company will have the
tepoiislbtlily of delivery of the ship
to American officials. As soon as she
illghts upon American shore the
will be turned over formally to
..'aplnln (1. W. Steele, who In now
lore, to Inspect the ship In the various
itagea of her construction. Captain
Steele was designated by Secretary
Denby eonie months ago as command
r of the Zlt-3 when she lands in the
United States.
Dr. Eckener, tall and dignified, has
more the appearance of a college pro
cessor than the builder of huge air
Oil lis. He speaks English, Is wrapped
ip In his work, and smokes an Eng
lish pipe when off duty outside the
Zeppelin eheds.
Dr. Eckener says the task confront
tig Irlmsit this time Is to get the Zlt 3
.eiidy for the air, and that climatic
condition will bother him but little
,mce she ship ! laiinchisl. One of the
irlul trlisi of the ZR 3 will be a flight

The turkey market opened today at
27 cents and remained practically
level throughout the day. Except for
slight flurries there was no change
and at the close of buying thk) eve
ning indications pointed to a weak
market. A few choice birds sold for
27 '4 cents, and a few extra fancies
brought even higher prices, but for
the market the price etood at 27
cents during the entire day and was
the amount paid by the buyers.
Receipts were heavy In spite of the
fact that the growers are holding back
tbe bulk of the birds for the Chrfesttuas
trade. Many of the turkey failed to
fatten up In time for the Thanksgiv
ing market, and consequently will be
held until the holidays. The price
was also a factor, a many growers
preferred to take chance on better
prices at Christinas time rather than
sell for the low price paid today.
The price pirld today was Ihe low
est for many year. In fact, since the
war, and grower felt rather reluctant
to sell at the prices set. However,
all Indications point to a weak mar
ket, and late this afternoon the buy
ers were pieslinlstic concerning the
future. It was repotted before the
market closed, that the big houses
represented by local buyers had plac
ed a limit on the number of bird to
be received. Indicating that they do not
look forward to any upward tend
emioa. Caxh buyers In Roseburg' today re
ceived a heavier per cenlage of turka
than for the last few seanons. Al
though tho pool was well patronited,
a large number of growers sold for
cash and the independent buyers were
kept busy handling the birde brought
in.
George Kohlhagen had Ihe largest .
number of birds of the Roseburg
buyers. Mr. Kohlhagen was only
slightly behind the pool In the num
ber of turkeyx received.
The Peoples Supply company, also
had liberal receipts, and their large
warehouse contained many fine look
ing fowls.
Ixiuls Knhthsgen also had a num
ber of birds on hand.
Harry Hatilon, of the Roeeburit
Poultry Market drew out of the mar
ket early this morning and refused lo
buy. He was one of Ihe heaviest
buyer last year.
O. J. Lindsay bought a few birds for
rash here, but purchased a large num
ber 1n other towns.
The pool operated by the Farm
Bureau Exchange, received more birds
than any of the local buyers, but not
In proHirtlon to last season. Judging
from appearances.
In the northern part of the county,
however. It Is reported Ihst. the pool
Ik receiving the bulk of the turkeys,
and that nol so many of Ihe grower
are eelllng for rash as In Roseburg.
At Kutheitln and Oakland the receipts
were heavy and the pool there will be
quite large.
Xwirt and company, and I. W.
Hlngcr, were both represented In Ihe
northern market, as well as In Rose
burg, nnd O. 1. Lindsay of this city,
buying for a San Francinco firm, also
was receiving there, taking In a large
I number of birds, particularly at Wil
bur. Conditions were the same In the
I southern section of the county where
I quite a large number of turkey were
I received.
