Black Bass Reared
 On MinnOw Forage

Washington. Feb. 24 R,-The little golden sinner and the blackhead minnow have given their lives nobly during the last year to increase the production of largemouth black bass.
 Experiments in the culture of this fish in the ponds of the Fairport, Iowa, biological station were more encouraging than ever last summer. says a report received by the bureau of fisheries, the production showing considerable gain.
 Biologists at the station were par tivularly encouraged by the results of using the golden sinners and blackhead minnows as forage. They provided excellent food for the bass and except for brief period after the latter have been spawned. do rot compete with them, living on vegetable matter. debris and the smaller, microscopic plankton or ganisms in the water which do not interest the larger creatures.

Detroit. Feb. :4.-N-colonel Charles A. Lindbergh. who has been conferring here with leaders of the aircraft industry preparatory. 1t is believed, to launching into . business career, today maintained silence re- garding his plans.
 The colonel. whose name rumor persists in linking with reported new Chicago-New York air trans portation project, refused to grant interviews and expressed a desire to drop out of public life altogether. His request was reinforced by one from his mother Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, who said the Colonel has permanently retired from the pub lie spotlight"
 At the same time Edsel Ford. Major Thomas c. Lanphier. Stout Airways officials. an dthe group of St. Louis aircraft industry repre- sentatives who accompanied Colonel Lindbergh here were equally reti- cent.
 Deny Reports
 Members of the group were quick to deny published reports that the purpose of Lindbergh's visit here concerned a new airpiane designed by himself and Major Lanphier, but they would neither affirm nor deny the rumor concerning the new Chi cago-New York air line.
 The report concerning the project. touched on vaguely by Major Lan- phier in an address at Buffalo Tues day night, received further impetus last nighttrom statement by Peter F. Piiasecki, postmaster at Mil waukee. Mir. PiiasecN said he has been advised of plans for formation Of the new air line by the Stout Air ways corporation to operate passen- ger and mail express ships.
 The proposed line, he said would have it's base at Chicago and would include Milwaukee, Grand Rapids. Detroit, Buffalo. Syracuse and AL bany as terminals. A branch line at Montreal, he added, would meet the mall at Albany, with planes going from there down the Hudson to New York.
 Stays at Field
 Lindbergh spent last night at Self ridge field after visiting during the evening with his mother. In the aft ernoon he conferred with Edsel Ford and officials of the Stout Airways or ganization. His trip by airplane from Selfridge field to the general office of the Ford company. was inter rupted by forced landing due to fog.

Camden, N. J., Feb. 24-The word defeat seemed written large in the lexicon of Jacob Pensendorfer when he stood before the judge of a Philadelphia criminal court c6 years ago. Pensendorfef was there to hear himself sentenced to be hang cd as a murderer.
 But today Pensendorfer is at least two varieties of 8 success rather than the dismal failure that he ap- peared to be that day in the court room. He is a success financially. for while spending quarter of a century in prison after his death sentence was commuted, Pensen- dorfer earned $50.o0o. He is suc- cess. too, with respect to a pledge he took while behind bars.
 If I ever get out of here" said Pensendorfer to himself, "Ill see that some of these other birds get

 Just before Christmas, 1926, Pen sendorfer was pardoned. Today he is running a woodworking plant in West Berlin, near here, with all the business he can handle. And of his IS employees. nearly all are ex-con- victs.
 Any man released from any pris- on can get a good job from Pensen- dorfer if he knows anything about woodworking. T could use twice as many men as I have now" he said. We are away behind with our orders"
 One of his chief aids in the fac tory served a l0-year term for mur- der Another "did time" for em. bezzlement from a bank. These two who emerged from confinement soon after Pensendorfer did. helped him set the enterprise going.
