Weather spoils All-Kansas air tour plans at Atchison
Rain and high winds delay the All Kansas air tour in Atchison forcing most of the seven Fort Riley and St. Joseph planes to skip the local stop. Field conditions are water soaked and muddy. Topeka officials report landing hazards and low crowd potential. Most planes head to Kansas City for safer landings. Wichita fliers may be invited later.

Must Have an Airport in Atchison Aviation Day Speech
General Edward L. King proclaimed Atchison as a pioneer in aviation linking railroading history to air transport. The banquet at Masonic temple featured talks by aviators and officials urging government support, licensed pilots, and city involvement as aviation progresses toward widespread air service and future airline growth. A large crowd attended a later Memorial hall dance with 1,000 people, orchestra music, and prizes for local supporters of aviation.

Tomorrow is Easter as families plan church attendance while Falls City reports seven inches of snow yesterday. Horton elects W. L. Simpson as mayor at 32, and reporter Leo Nusbaum Jr. flew to St Joseph. Local social life includes Atchison PTA conventions, moves by the Auchards, and a Bellevue school program that drew a packed crowd with songs and playettes, raising about $41.
