AirpIanes During
Storm At Sea
81 InlernatI0nal News Service

ROME, March 1o The Ital-
ian navy has just adopted =
new device for Launching air
planes from warships ii storm
tossed waters the invention Of
8 young naval engineer, Major
CagnOtto.
The new invention was tried
out SUGGEST fully at Spezia Arsenal
and already the carrier sMirag-
Iii" has one fitted To her deck.
This launching device Is some I3
yards long and the airpIans is
started on its course by COM
pressed air, which gives the
craft such an impulse that II
shoots aloft at speed Of more
than SO miles an hour.
AT the tests at Spezia Arsenal,
two seaplanes were flung into
the air as neatly and effectively
as though they were merely
leaving the ground Of an Orlli-
nary landing place after i long
sprint.

SHIELDS.
TWO PALS

Inability of local police to get
any real information from Joseph
Peter Davis. alias Davidon, one OF
the trio OF bandits who held up the
Sixteenth street mansion of Mrs.
Norman Williams. has left the
authorities at sea. so far as worth.
while clues to the two men now
sought are concerned.
Headquarters Detectives Thomp-
son and Keck are pushing the in
quiry, but, SO far, they have been
unable to unearth information that
would identify any person as an
actual suspect.
The detectives have not given up
all hope of getting more informa-
ton from Davis.
While they believe it possible
that his story that he met his con-
federates in the robbery only last
Thursday may be true, they do not
believe that he has told all he
knows of them.
They feel that a few more days
in the cell at the Third precinct
station, during which he will have
chance to think over his own
prospects of a prison term. may
lead him to tell more.
Police authorities virtually aban-
doned today the hope Of getting
any clues through the former Will
Jams butler, who has been a
prisoner in Sing Sing.
Davis has identified two or three
Ninth street lunchrooms as the
probable places at which he met
his confederates last Thursday,
when the subject of the robbery
first was preached to him. He says
he does not know enough about
Washington to say positively which
restaurant It was.
All habitues of these places are
being investigated, particularly as
to their movements last Sunday
night when the robbery occurred.
Since the Identification yesterday,
by Frank Bell. colored porter, of
Davis as the man who beat him in
hold-up of the Ohio lunchroorn
Monday. police are trying to pin
other hold-ups on the man held.
While Bells Identification was posi-
tive, police discount II to some en-
tent because of the critical condi-
ton of the porter.

CONGRESS
TOFIN AIR
POLICY


With radio expanding by leaps
and bounds from scientific ex-
pertinent to a necessity Of modern
communication, q drive was under
way in Congress today to COM
pIetely revise Uncle Sans control
Of the air.
Two new proposals for strip
ping the Department of Com
merce Of all radio control were
being discussed in Congressional
circles while other measures were
pending 10 give the department
wider latitude.
Two Bills In Senate
In the opinion of radio experts,
the industry OF talking through
the air" has outgroNn the 'sswad-
ding clothes" rule now being adj
mipistered by the Department Of
Commerce.. To an extent, Admin
1stration leaders have agreed with
the scientists and radio legislation
has been set down on the Con-
gressional program for enactment
before adjournment.
The pending measures are the
White bill in the House and the
Dill bill in the Senate. They would
give Secretary of Commerce Hoover
wider powers in regulating RADIO.
but the Senate measure would
create an appeal commission" to
act as supreme court over Hoov-
er's decisions on the control of the
cir.
Would Create Commission
The new proposals include one
by Representative Davis 3D. OF
Tennessee, to create "communi-
cations Commission" similar in au.
thority to the Interstate Commerce
Commission, which would have ex-
elusive control over the radio, teIe-
graph and telephone communica-
ton. In the Senate, proposals were
discussed to turn all radio control
over to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. A majority OF the
Senate, however, apparently favors
the bill Of Senator Dill today, 1.-The
Secretary Of Commerce ought 10
be empowered t. continue in con-
troll of radio.
II believe a commission should
be appointed, however, to act as
q board Of appeals to which the
secretary himself can refer qucs.
tions which puzzle him and to
which any aggrieved person may
appeal a decision of the secretary"
White Bin Up Friday
Dill said he did not favor re-
moving Hoover from his control
over radio nor the proposal to give
the power to either the Interstate
Commerce Commission or a new
communications Commission.
IF given to the Interstate COM.
lnerce Commission, for instance,
Din added" a new division would
b. formed and one man would be
given all arbitrary powers. the
only appeal by a dissatisfied lil.i-
CANT would be to the full commits
sion, which could not possibly
study the issue raised and could
only affirm their colleagues juds-
xnel1t."
Senator Watson (R1 of indiana,
chairman Of the Senate Interstate
Commerce, meanwhile announced
that his committee would await the
Houses action on the White bill
before holding further hearings.
The House has set aside Friday
and Saturday for action on the
White bill.
