Chapell lowing his entry into aviation during the World War. He was one of the pilots of the Army's Question Mark plane which in 1929 set an endurance record by staying in the air 150 hours, 40 minutes. Several years later, to prove the practicability of long-distance blind flying, Faker piloted a pursuit plane across the continent-with the co*ckpit houded over to shut out all view of the outside. Test flying brought some close calls for Faker. Flying a single seat pursuit ship at Washington in 1930, Faker put the plane into a spin from which it refused to recover.
When only 1000 feet above the outskirts of the city he crawled from the spin ning ship and parachuted to a hard but safe landing. On at least three occasions he was forced to bring planes into "belly landings" when their retractable landing gear failed to function. One of them was a transport, which Raker set down with no more age than a twisted propeller. Faker, 46 years old, is a native of Llano County, Tex. He graduated from the Southeastern State Teachers College at Durant, and attended several universities for special studies after joining the Army.
Larger Bridge '(Continued From First Page) Public Works 10 contribute $23,000 of the estimated necessary expenditure of $90,000 for. repairing the bridge temporarily. Complete dissatisfaction with the offer of the state department expressed, and it was the feeling ot the three governmental agencies which control bridge that at least 50 per cent of the total cost should be paid by the state. l'ublic Works Commissioner lierman A. McDonald will be approached relative to increasing the allotment for repairs to at least $43,000.
In arriving at the figure of $23,000, Mac Donald subtracted $21,000 from the ground that this amount reprethe total estimated cost of repairs at on sented the cost of repairs recommended but not carried out in 1937. He then divided the remaining $69,000 three ways, so that the State's share would be $23,000, the county the same and the remaining third to be paid by Springfield and Agawam on the basis of 85 per cent by the city and 15 per cent by the town. Under such an AIrangement Springfeld and Agawam would have to apportion among themselves the $21,000 that MacDonald wrote off as something that should have been taken care of five years ago. After last night's meeting Mayor Putnam said that he and his fellowconferees were entirely at a loss to understand the logic' on which MacDonald based his unusual method of figuring, and that they could see no excuse for the assumption that Springfield and Agawam should be penalized to the extent of $21,000. The opinion that the State should pay at least 30 per cent of the entire cost, as has been done in the case of bridges elsewhere in the Commonwealth, had previously been voiced by Chairman Thomas J.
Costello of the County Commission, and it was evident that, after discussing the matter from all possible angles. the Board of Supervisors and the Agawam Selectmen came around last night to shar. ing in his views, Meanwhile, it was decided that the bridge will continue to he restricted to passenger vehicles to loads not in excess of two tons, and that shall continue to be maintained at each end of the bridge to see that the regulations are inforced.

Discusses National Issues Rep. Clason, principal speaker, was the unwieldy district he hopes to repline rationing, involved in So covering resent.
He than got down to issues and, aiming particularly at Frazer, asserted that the two-party system is in grave danger and that for its own preservation the Republican Party must purge itself of old thinking and give the liberal and progressive thought of the party an opportunity to serve. Frazer, obviously nettled, although he had not been named' by his ODponent, lashed out in his turn at Bulkley as a "young lawyer without much experience," chided him for displaying maps rather than reciting qualifications and. by indirection, challenged him to disprove the value of experience. Hastings, the last of the three to speak, hammered home in belligerent lashion his record of service to the district as EL member of the Governor's Council in 1933 and 1940. Taking full credit for the appointments of Dudley Wallace to the Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission.
Dr. R. Nelson Hatt to the l'ublic Health Council and Mrs. Ruth F. Weaver to the Board of Registration in Hairdressing, Hastings asserted, "I think you ought to send back a man who is experienced and who has done a good job for you." Another spirited note WaS provided by Councilman J.
Clifford Clarkson, who is contesting with Alderman Ernest W. Carman for the Ward 4 sent in the House of Representatives. Making a stirring plea an abandonment nt racial prejudice in the interests of true democracy, Clarkzon urged that qualifications he the sole determinant in his contest. He presented his case ably and made an excellent impression. Carman was not there to speak for himself, but a statement from him was read to the gathering by Councilman Norman W.
then introduced and devoted his talk to national issues. Enactment of bills establishing A two-ocean Navy and providing for selective service, he said. were the two most important national defense measures passed by Congress during his three terms in office. In calling attention to his support of and votes for both these bills, the congressman also pointed out that both originated in Congress and not with the Administration. "Because of the enactment of this legislation, the Nation was belter prepared at the outbreak of this war than at any other time in its history," he said.
Clason also recounted how, through an amendment offered by him when the Selective Service Act WAS under consideration by the House Military Affairs Committee, of which he is a leading member, the pay of the men in the armed services was raised to $30 a month from the $5 proposed in the bill. Clason's amendment called for straight pay of $30 monthly and a compromise was reached whereby Inen received $21 a month the for the Arst four months of service and 330 A month thereafter. Subsequently, under the passed this year, the pay of enlisted men in the armed services was raised to $50 a month. "Because of the Selective Service Act." Rep. Clason said.
"the country had the largest peacetime standing Army in its history when the Japs their treacherous attack 011 J'earl Harbor. At that time, we had to police. Gallagher told the commis. sion that as many as a dozen bicycles have accumulated at times in the POlice Department because there is no claim made for them, and the department does not know where they belong.

Clason also stated that he had voted every bill appropriating money for the armed forces and other defense proposals during his six. years in Congress. "I also voted for every single appropriation to carry out the lend program, by. which matewar are being furnished Great Britain, Russia, Poland, China, The Netherlands and others of the United Nations." New Buildings at Armory From a local standpoint, Clason said his.
strong support nit national defense uneasures is best illustrated by the new buildings constructed at the Springfield Armory and the funds which he secured for the development and manufacture of the Garand semiautomatic rifle.

The purpose of the organization is exactly as the name implies and judging by the enthusiasm of those who were present last night it won't be long hefore Springfield will be well represented in the councils of barber shop quartets.

ot certain work but which hag barred them from employment in private industry in the past. "We realize that everyone in the country has got to help in the war effort and it is our purpose to permit them to do so as far as is practical," the Armory official said. No longer does the Armory make public its pay roll figures but it would not surprise observers to learn that it now has close to 13,500 employed there, or about triple the number employed by Westinghouse, the city's second largest plant. The Armory has been taking in shop boys of 16 years of age whereas other factories will not hire anyone who is less than 18 years old. one has been pointed out by employment office officials, however, that it is only by taking on women and boys and persons with slight physical imperfections that pay rolls can be built up nowadays.
At least a few other major plants are relaxing on physical requirements but there still is a large number of them which refuse to do so even when the applicant is willing to sign a waiver absolving. the employer from any responsibility for his defect or Aggravation of it. Quite a few men with hernias have been unable to get work for that reason. Vehicle Inspectors Asked to Aid OPA Will Check on Proper Auto Ration Stickers BOSTON, Aug. 17 (AP) -A request that Massachusetts motor vehicle inspectors aid the Office of Price Administration in enforcing a regulation that every car have proper gasoline rationing sticker affixed was made tonight by Henry Parkman, state OPA director.
Parkman, in A. letter to Gov. Saltonstall, thanked Massachusetts officials for the "full collaboration" they already have given his office. We owe it to the vast majority who have patriotically, 'and loyally reduced their consumption of gasoline to see that preferred users do not abuse their Parkman wrote. Declaring that OPA investigators were "obviously not in a position to patrol the highways." Parkman said: "I suggest that the motor vehicle inspectors, under Mr.
(Frank Goodwin, are. numerous. enough and well equipped to carry out this assignment in conjunction with their other duties." Gov. Saltonstall said he was asking Goodwin to contact the OPA director and have his inspertors "co-operate with you in seeing that the sticker regulation is complied with."
