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

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. Offi
y cial time, 9 hours, 15 minutes, 50 seconds. . ; . ' , . ' : - -
; Coast Route Record: Third and Townsend, San Francisco to Main Postoffice, Los An-
: geles, total distance 453.7 miles! Official time, 10 hours, 12 minutes, 30 seconds. t : ' ;
Round Trip Record: San Francisco to Los Angeles and return, south by coast route,
north by valley; total distance. 864.8 miles. Official time, 21 hours, 23 minutes. ' ' . :"

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

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."
