VILLAGE WAR ON AEROPLANES.
SIR S. BRANCKER'S
WARNING,
RISKING CHARGE OF
MANSLAUGHTER."
SOUTHAMPTON, August 31st. Sir Sefton Brancker, Director of Civil Aviation, held an inquiry tonight into the complaints by residents near Hamble aerodrome, Eve miles from Southampton, at low flying over their houses!
The inquiry followed the crash of Miss Bessie Grace yesterday into a flagstaff in the garden of the house of Mr. M. Findlay Smith
The inquiry was attended by six people who signed a petition to the Air Ministry, including Mr. Find lay Smith, at whoer House it was held. Others present included: re- presentatives of the Hampshire Light Aeroplane Club and Messrs A. V. Hoe & Co.
Sir Sefton Bruncker said that the aerodrome was a private one owned by Messrs. A. V. Roe & Co. and used by them, the Hampshire Light Aeroplane Club, and by the R.A.F. when they desired. He
nied;
The Air Ministry's sole respon- sibility is to license the piner ag an aerodrome: If the people object to the noise, I am afraid' they will have to grin and bear it; just as people living by the side of the road have to put up with the noise of motor traffic. The aerodrome is in the Ministry's opinion perfectly safe and that is the end to their responsibility
Village Terrified.” Mr. F. Blaseley and Mr. Findlay Smith said the village was terrified by low flying: They had to choose between danger to their families and danger to the pilots and they
chose the latter course.
Mr. Blessley said that he was erecting another pole which he was connecting with that in Mr. Findlay -Smith's garden.
Sir Sefton Brancker: That is ex tremely dangerous and if there is 'n fatal accident. I am not sure you will not be liable to a charge of manslaughter.
Dr. Cunningham Brown said not all the residents were concerned in the petition. He had no objection to the aerodrome club and he did not consider their flying a nuisance
Sir Sefton Brancker said he would give the matter, his con- sideration and would communicate with them when he had reached a decision.
Mr. Findlay Smith said:
I fixed the pole to stop low fly: ing over my house about three months ago. could not get i up in time for the air pageant, 20 I put up a temporary one then. The mast, which is about 30ft. high, is painted white above A certain beight and on top is a white and blue flag. I am reG- ponsible for the lives of the people, under my roof and this protection was necessary.
I have consulted a solicitor and. he says the earth beneath and the air above my house are my property.
BRITISH CRITICISMS OF SPAIN:
OF
LOCAL OPINION DIVIDED..
The organ of the Spanish Govern- ment, La Nacion, while acknow.. ledging the general appreciation of the Marqués de Estella's praise worthy efforts shown by the British Tress, takes sharp exception to criticisins offered, especially in the recent articles in the Times, which on some points In Nacion consider to be unjust and fantastic, and contain errors such as a foreign writer dealing with Spanish affairs is liable to make. More particular- y La Nacion does not share the view that the future of Spain is in any way doubtful or overcast. It repeats the assertion that there can be no re-establishment of normality in the sense of return to the former régime: The new Spaiz must arise from the ruins of the old, dressed in fresh garb. No old Clows are acceptable, nor will Spain take the loan of garments from others. Her constitutional frock is apparently to be of an entirely original cut.
Other newspapers, however, do

Considering our economic posi tion, our mode of living and our cultural conditions, we are much nearer in the Soviet Union to the worst type of capitalism, that negligent and uncivilised type of the Socialist capitalism, than order of society...

The trouble was that the tubes of the instrument were virtually identical, and it was From September 27th to Oct. 3rd, 1928, obviously a dangerous instrument unless the precaution was taken of trying the instrument immediately before use, but such an instrument. should have some obvious indication so that a mistake could not be made.
