ROME, SEPT. 7. TALY'S SECRET PREPARATIONS FOR AN OFFICIAL ATTACK ON THE WORLD'S AIR SPEED RECORD, 4071⁄2 MILES AN HOUR ESTAB- LISHED BY FLIGHT-LIEUTENANT G.H. STAIN- FORTH, AFTER THE SCHNEIDER TROPHY RACE LAST YEAR, HAVE BEEN MARRED BY THE TRAGIC DEATH IN A CRASH ON LAKE GARDA OF ONE OF THEIR MOST SKILFUL PILOTS.

The victim of the crash was Lieutenant Neri, who had established a brilliant reputation as a high-speed pilot and would probably have been Italy's first choice for the attempt.

Lieutenant Neri was making a practice flight in an ordinary plane when he met with disaster. In the course of stunting practice over the Lake, he looped within a hundred feet of the water..

He tried to turn his plane into an ascent and was apparently going up again, when a spurt of flame was seen to shoot from the engine and spread with remark- able rapidity.

The machine crashed and struck the water with a terrific impact, sinking almost immediately. Lieutenant Neri's body was recovered some two hours later.

JAPANESE OVERTURE

REPORTS

CHINA WILL REJECT

IF STORY IS TRUE

Nanking, Sept. 7.

It is officially announced that no information has been received to confirm a report that the new Japanese Minister to China, Mr. Ariyoshi, is bringing to Nanking proposals for direct Sino-Japanese negotiations for the settlement of the Manchuria dispute.

It is emphasised by official spokesmen that even were the report quite true, it would merely represent Japazese Intentions, since the Chinese Government adheres to its original policy of leaving the matter in the hands of the League of Nations Renter
