General Bartolome Blanche, commander In chief of the army, officially announced that the army was at the orders of the new government.

Acting President Opazo, who Is about 68 years old, has been president of the Liberal party and Is one Of the prominent politicians of Chile. A rumor started that President Ibanez had taken refuge in the American embassy, but the American ambassador, William S. Culbertson, told the crowd that Ibanez was not there and that if he came he would be refused entrance. The crowds then filled downtown streets, shouting "kill Ibanez." Several civilians were reported killed in an exchange of fire with carabineers. Convinced that President Ibanez had not left Moneda palace, the of- residence, crowds formed around each person based on a study of 250 cities, in levies ior governmental pur poses in these cities.

The average for the entire group of 250 cities is $56.25 Allentown also stands low among the cities in its group ror ner capita pay ment in total revenues. This citv. is midway in the group in regara per capita net indebtedness, largely as the result of recent bond loans for improvements thruout the city. Bethlehem, not a member of the group in which Allentown is included. has a higher rate of per capita net in debtedness than this citv.

The Allen town figure is $74.26, while Bethlehem's is 5108.07, according to the report. For comparative purposes, the stat istics covering per capita tax payments, cost of government, payment in total revenues and indebtedness for cities in the same class with Allentown and also some cities in this section of the state are given.

In the future Mr. and Mrs. Air-Minded Traveler you may board your airplane Irom an underground tunnel similar to the one you traverse in most large railroad passenger stations.

There you'll be safe nuia warning propellers ana' shel lerea irom storm and rain. At least that's the prediction of Major wmiam r. Centner, superln tendent of Port Columbus, the Ohio city's municipal airport. He sees air travel increasing to astounding proportions in the near future and. along with other airport managers, regards tne loading proDiem as a serious one which will have i.

to be Intelligently uieb. Suggests Tunnel System he explains, "it is a simple matter. to lead two or three planes at a time. Traffic, however, moves in peak loads and, in the future, when 200 passenger plains landing and taung on win continue an average day at an airport, with the majority of the movement coming at certain hours, a difficult problem will present nsen. --ai present a tunnel system un derneath he field seems to be the so lution.

Thus passengers could be con ducted safely to the waitine shins which then need not draw, up to the waiting rponu but could be parked in various parts of the field. Stairways wouia leaq irom ine tunnels to the neid level. Signalling and radio com munication also will have to be de veloped to exnediate taking off and landing." Major Centner divulges the inter esting fact that, despite the depression, there was an Increase of 31 per cent in passenger business in 1930 over 1929 at Fort Columbus, which was the first airport to feature train-plane service. Eight ships running on reg ular passenger schedules, take off from there daily, and six trains stop daily to enable passengers to make connections with the air lines. As superintendent of the port.

Ma jor Centner has marked the change in passenger business during the past few years. -At first, he relates, the various competing air lines went In lor luxurious appointments, both In the planes and at airport terminals There were maids to attend to the wants of passengers, elaborate waiting rooms, expensive buses to transport passengers, and many other lol-de-rols which added appreciably to the oDer ating expenses. When the lines began to lose vast sums or money, rates were lowered to 5 cents a mile and business boom' ed. That is, there were plenty of Das sengers, but the revenue was too small. Rates were raised to a more reason able mark, and despite the immediate decrease in the number of passengers carried, revenues Increased.

Furthermore, air lines make their money with pay loads, whether that load be pas sengers, ireignt or mail. A great many puots, tne major mnts, greatly pre ler ireight and mail to passengers, wno oi ten tena oe lussy. -rajemg an airplane journey once was a nine days' wonder, but at Port Columbus and dozens of air fields throughout the country, the mat trans-continental air liners ply their regular schedules with as little fuss as marks, the arrival or departure of tram. New Rocket Will Explore Outer Space Will Rise Several Hundred Miles Above the Earth, It Is Believed By F. B.

COLTON (Associated Press Science Writer) WASHINGTON. UP) A riant rockets that is expected to explore space several hundred miles above the eartn. many times as hich as Prof. Auguste Piccard rose in his balloon is being perfected in New Mexico under auspices of three scientific in stitutions. Prof.

Robert H. Godda'rd is experi menting with the rocket at Roswell, XVI. experiments so far have mpt. witn "eratiiyinn success." sava rr Charles G. Abbot, secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, which is backing Goddard's work with the Carnegie Institution of Washington and the Simon Guggenheim estate The rocket.

If It uvt lin tn evruin. tations, will penetrate rralnns nf tha upper atmosphere which mankind has not yet been able to explore, Dr. Abbot explains. Small balloons with insfn imarie at tached can Mot rise much nvor 1 nn 00? Jeet, or about 20 miles. There Is nothing to prevent the rocket, he says, rising to many times this level.

The rocket u-iii HtHvon tinuous discharge of enormous lorce Cfmedy "CAB WArnXG "Strange Act "ONE BIG NIGHT" World's Largest Cables for This Span i tx, omitn Guard service. from its tail, much as a Fourth of July I I Force Is Continuous The discharge is nroduceri hv hv. drocarbons, such as gasoline, burning "quia oxygen. The combustion chamber will tippH only thin walls, whereas thicker walls are necessary for rockets driven by a series of explosions. The thin walls permit a desirable reduction in weight.

A parachute attachment, designed to unioia automatically when th rocket reaches the limit of its climb, is expected to float the soace-nrolprtilp gently back to earth without damage to its aeucate instruments. No humans will ride into unDer space on board the rocket, Dr. Abbot says, but It will carry automatic instruments similar to those taken aloft by Prof. Piccard. These will record temperature.

pressure, composition and electrical properties of the atmosphere at heights never Deiore reached. May Observe Cosmic Rays Possibly the mysterious stnrl nowpr- ful cosmic rays which were observed by Prof. Piccard also may be measured by Instruments on the rocket. Dr. Abbot says.

These measurements may help locate the source of the rays and reveal how much of their force is absorbed by their passage through the atmosphere before they reach the earth. The rocket may also be used to ex pose spectrographs to the sun's rays far out beyond the layer of ozone that is known to cut off the most interest ing ultra-violet radiation from the sun. These records may tell more about the chemicals of which the sun is composed, the nature of its radiation, and how this affects life on earth.
