Grahame-White Proposes $10,000,000 Plan to British Government.
Special Cable to The New York Times.
    LONDON, April 9.— Claude Grahame-White, addressing the Women's Aerial League to-day, said he had placed before the Government a comprehensive scheme for putting aviation in England in a sound condition at small cost. In company with a group of financiers he had undertaken to produce the sum of $10,000,000 to be devoted to the establishment of aerodromes in all the big cities, the purchase of hydro-aeroplanes, and the construction of dirigibles. The organization, he added, was prepared to train yearly 500 pilots for the army and 500 for the navy. The Government was considering the scheme.
