CENTENARY AIR RACE
REPLY TO AMERICAN COMPLAINTS Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright. ‘Melbourne, April 27. The Centenary Air Race Committee has framed a reply to the complaints from America that the rules governing the airworthiness of aircraft participating in the centenary air race had been designed to exclude American aeroplanes. The reply declares that there is no possibility of the conditions of the race being altered, because any slteration would lower the margin of safety. The committee does not desire a repetition of the tragic Dole race from San Francisco to Hawaii in 1927, and is leaving the approval of American aeroplanes entirely to tho supremo American authority—namely, the Department of Commerce.
