INCREASED AIR E FORC NEEDED AY COOLIDGE tvXsi-IlNOTON. Dec. 10. Emphasis is laid by President L'ooltdxe on the importance "of providing for contin ued development ef military and na val aviation If America la to keep abreast of other nations," In a special communication to congress today, transmitting the annual report of the national advisory committee tor aero nautics. The president said he con curred In the committee's recommen dations for continued scientific re search work for aviation and estab lishment of a bureau of civil aeronaut ics in the department of commerce. The committee's report, signed by Joseph S. Ames, chief of the executive committee thus sums, up Its recommen dation as to army and navy air devel opments: . .' . I "Whatever may be the demands of economy serious consideration must be given to the Increasing relative Im portance of aircraft In warfare and funds appropriated to equip and main tain adequately the Mr services of the " L 1 " " ' ' ' "" Another Record Shattered by a '-V Beats Los Angeles Limited from Salt Lake City to Los i Angeles by One Hour and Teh Minutes .-J'...- : "5 V Studebaker Special-Six Makes Fastest Time Man Ever Traveled Overland Between These Cities Breaking the record time of the famous Los Angeles Limited from Salt Lake City to Los .. Angeles by one hour and ten minutes, a stock 1924 Studebaker Special-Six, driven by D. A. Jenkins of Salt Lake City, has established a motor car performance mark that is causing wide spread comment among motorists along the Pacific Coasf. v ., . '. This is the fastest time that man has ever traveled overland between these two cities. It is one hour and fifty-eight minutes almost two hours faster than the best previous motor car record. . ' ;. . .;TUe Arrowhead Trail over which the record was made winds through many treacherous mountain passes and traverses hundreds of miles of desert roads. For this reason, and because : no' attempt was made to wait for ideal road and weather conditions, the feat is all the more itu- prcssive to those who are familiar with the route. No Water Added to Radiator Even more remarkable than the speed attained was the endurance displayed by the car. I Despite the fact that its cooling system was naturally subjected to severe test over the n'louli-' 1 -f tain and desert roads, no water was added to the" radiator during the entire run. The American Express Company, sealed the filler cap at Salt Lake City and .' broke' the seal at Los Angeles.- When checked in at Los Angeles, the motor was running' as smoothly and as quietly as it was '-when it left Salt Lake City.. ; , . ' .-K The run, arranged by the T. W. Naylor Company, Studebaker dealers in Salt Lake City, was timed and authenticated by the Western Union. The distance of 853 miles was covered by the Special-Six in 23 hours, 43 minutes. The . best previous automobile record was 25 hours, 41 minutes and the time of the Los Angeles Lim ited is 24 hours, 50 minutes. ' Other Studebaker Records With the addition of this record, four official' road records are now held by Studebaker in California. Considering the fact that the per capita ownership of automobiles in California is higher than in any other state, with the result that rivalry for automobile records is extreme 1 ly keen, the accomplishments are all the more important.)' The ..three previous records have been held by the Studebaker Light-Six for nearly thretf years, .They are: . . I ' . Valley Route Record: Los Angeles to San Francisco; total distance, 411.1 miles.

The report said there had been n "gratifying Increase in knowledge of the science of aeronautics," during the last year and that while the military nlr services were not so large as those of other powers, "we are gradually forging ahead of other nations In our knowledge of the scientific principles underlying the design and construc tion of aircraft."'- A plea for continuation of this re search work as the best Insurance ob tainable to prevent wnste of funds In construction programs was given with the summary of what has already becu poRompllshad, Afsitrnnce of "reliable service nt reasonable cost" must bo the foundi tion for commercial development of p.'uton, the report addd. and pro Rr.'us In this direction must bo grad ual. 1 lie present high cost faoV', cm-hfr-ed with tho absence of Improved m: tonal airways, constitutes an con omlo barrier to the gnucral applica tion of aviation) to commercial pur popes, tho report said. Greater government encouragement of commurclal aviation Is necessary, tho committee declared, adding that "the present ton year aircraft build ing program of tho army nlr service and tho five year program of tho navy will, If carriod out, meet the absolute needs of the two services and poMSlbly serve to keep In existence the nucleus of nn Industry until a strong self-supporting Industry develops. Tho report ' extracts from which woro mndo public today by tho cham ber of commerce of tho United States says that general financial support of the Industry will undoubtedly nwatnt proper legislation providing for an aeronautical safety code, after which "the costs of operation will hnvo to be answered satisfactorily before capital In general will become interested In the Industry."
