DAYTON LACONIC ABOUT SUCCESS FLYING RECENTLY Difficult Get Any Sort of Reaction to Achievements of Byrd and Amundsen at Birthplace Aviation ITE JUST BUSINESS j They Expected Success but It Doesn't Mean That All Their Problems Have Yet Been Solved By ROBKKT T. HMAM, ?u ta IRI ?|K?u4?0? Dayton, May 22. ? Here In Day ton. (ho birth place 6f aviation, where the Government maintains Ita immense aviation laboratories and test fields, it Is the most dif ficult thing in the world to get any sort of reaction to the recent astonishing achievements of Com mander Byrd and Captain Amund aen In flying to and across the North Pole. Army officers of every grade ( are extremely laconic In their comments. The flights which have caught the Imagination of the people and stirred the world are taken here as a matter of courae. They see nothing to throw their hats In the air about. But by all of this It must not be gathered that Army aviators i are "hard boiled." They are not. ; Aviation to them has become a work-a-day business. They might have been changed If the Arctic expeditions had resulted in dismal i failures. They expected the North j Pole fliers to succeed. Failure In the Arctic might have given I aviation a net-hack, but Arctic, j success ha* solved none of a*la- j tlon's many problems. And yet these same officers who refuse to be stirred by the Polar expeditions pay the finest sort of compliment to Commander Byrd. "Without the spirit of pioneer ing. any air service would be mori bund," said Major J. F. Curry, commanding officer of McCook Field today. He went on to ex plaln that the benefits of the Arc- , Wt. Expedition would be psycho logical rather than practical. The | nVbtB are regarded here as ? "stunts" just as the Army'n own I expedition around the world w?e | a "stuil." All ^f the stunts merely have lended^o show "that an airplane can fly. anywhere and get away with It. That In Itaelf Is a good thing. Aviation has needed pub lic confidence. These North Pole expeditions will help materially in that direction. To the man who has become lm- I mersed In his work, aviation Is re- ' garded today as a fixed science rather than a circus. As a matter of fact a visit through the Army laboratories here just about con vince# 6u that the least thing to avfc / la the flying. This Is naturally a wrong picture, but when there Is taken Into consid eration, all the work which must be done before a "ship" takes the air, the flying part seems the sim plest thing of all. They knew that Commander i Byrd should reach his goal In the Arctic beoause his big Fokker monoplane received many of its tests In Dayton. There was no thought here of engine failure or ' of the pilot becoming "lost." When word of the historic hop-off came i aviators heft did not cease their , work for n moment. When the news came that the Intrepid air- , men had cleared the pole and were back In Spitsbergen after a 15 hour flight, the chief Interest here was In how many gallons of gas had been burned, how much oil had been used and how the air i ?rtoltng system had stood the long ?rind. ,i?ecause North Pole flights are not expected to be a popular pas time In the very near future. Army pilots here are disposed to . regard the non-stop fights of | Lieutenants Kelly and MacReady from New York to I-<os Angeles a few years ago as a greater test In flying than the circling of the imaginary pole. Orvllle Wright first msn In the world to make a sustained flight and who also lives here. Is in clined to agree With this vie#. He regards the croaa-contlnent flight as the supreme test of flying men and flying materials. This endur ,ance run of 2700 miles was with out a stop of any tort. It was due to the fact that Ryrd and Amundsen found the tempera ture only a few degrees below se ro at the pole that the veteran aviators here refuse to get all "het up." They can laave the summer latmosphere at Dayton any of theee r balmy days and climb to sero weather In a few minutes. Only today sero marks were recorded at 29,000 feet which la a compara tively low "celling" for the mod era blrdeman. There must be no assumption of jealousy on the part of the airmen ( who did not make the polar tripe Jiecause they do not get excited ov V their achlevemnts. These men ft*" risk their Uvea every day and ^?ry sight, la every kind of father and every kind of fifing Vachlae. They, too, are pioneers ?? their way.

If they do not, you will begin to lag behind^' Mr. Rees commented enthusl I astlcally upon the fertility of the farms he had observed In passing j through Northeastern North Car olina. declaring that that was a source of potential wealth which would bear fruit when developed 1 to the uttermost. On his visit here, he was accompanied by M. L. Tremain, of Winston-Salem, State deputy of the order. In the course of an Interview, I Mr. Rees quoted as embodying the spirit which should animate North Carolinians today, an inscription which he had copied from a mon ument to Richard Caswell, first Governor of the State after the Declaration of Independence. The I monument Is situated near Can 1 well's grave. In the vicinity of Kln ston, and the Inscription is an ut terance attributed to the gover nor.
