QUESTION OF RIGHTS IN FLYING OVER OTHER CU. TitlES MAY COME UP. MAY HE YEAR OR MORE BDFORE FLIGHT I;S UNDElTAKE'N. Washington, Oct. 2". - Tentative 1)lans for an attempted flight of army airplanes around the world 'have ibeen under consideration for some months by air service officials, it was learned today, but the project has not as yet passed the preliminary survey stage. Valuable data on available routes in both directions have been obtained, however. .and ultimately it is hoped, to send a considerable aerial squadron on the voyage. The project will not be ild ibefore Secretary Weeks for approval, it was said, until it takes much more definite form. Two of the routes considered are that fron the Atlantic coast via Ice land qand Ireland and that from the Pacific via Alaska, 'the Ajeutlan is lands, 'Siberia. and home via Ireland and Iceland. Air service ollicials said the route offering the most favorable conditions as to iyevaillng winds would be selected should the flight be ordered, and it would then become necessary to obtain permission of each sofqthe countries to be traversed'before the squadron could start. The question of air navigation by pilots of one country over the terri tory of another nation has been con sidered by the council of the league of nations in order to establish uniform ity of 'practice. So far as the UnitedI States and Caanda are concerned, a re cent agreement fixed rec iprocal rights for the pilots of the tlo nations. Army fliers conceived the world cir -ling flight plan In line with the rea ;on which prompted Preideint Roose velt to send the fleet ayound the world in- 190$, it 'vas said. It would have value both as -a step in providing herial defeirse through training and in giving the world a better understand ing of American lpost-war dovCec) ments. Fliers of other nations 'liave undertaken. ill) to this tie Without success, world circling ilghts but only with a single plane, while the Ameri can air service project would call for a fleet of aircraft and'careful prepara tions involving considerable expendi ture. Posdibly a special act of coni gress to authorize a flight and make necessary ureparations would be necessary, should the secretary all Prove the plans. For this reason it is expected that no definite steps willbe taken for,. year or mort. M1AURENS COUNTY LOADING AT P. C. Total of 34,, Hewever, Represented While Other States Furnish Stu dents.
