Risk to low largets
For Anti-Aircraft Guns
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Sept. 26.
The accuracy of anti-aircraft gun
ners at Fortess Monroe was demon- j
stinted in tests last night when three j
"enemy” airplanes were destroyed
in mid-air and shells bursting near I
two others were recorded a,s bits, j
The tests, tleserihed by army officers !
as exceedingly dangerous to the pi
lot or pilots in rhe airplanes that
tow the targets at the end of a 500-
foot rope, will be continued tonight.
Five airplanes were ssnt aloft last
nicht with their targets, which com
prised ’an “enemy” invading flotilla.
The targets were picked up by pow
erful searchlights and in a short
lime three of them had been de
stroyed. Shells burst so close to the
two others, which are much smaller I
than a regular airplane, that oificern
recorded them as hits because, they
said, it would have been impossible
for a. "live” plane to have escaped
without being damaged enough to
fall. All of the pilot planes returned
safely.

It was held by prison officials thalv •
this writ would prevent SolicitoJ

would not subpoena Governor Bran<
don as he had intended at the be*
ginning of the inquiry.

dared he had backed the board ol

the revolt had been flogged, Solicito*
Davis brought the matter to the at*
tention of the grand jury. He sought
to summons the convicts who were
