extent that the plane can be shot
off within a few minutes after
the submarine reaches the surface.
The machine used is Of British
make and is known as the Parnan
Peto. It is equipped for both OBJ.
servation and fighting purposes.
An Italian designer first perfected
the device for making this combina.

HITS POWER
TRUST
By WILLIAM K. HUTCHINSON
International News Service

International News Service
Warning the nation to be on its
guard against the 'power trust, ("
Senator George w. Norris R.), of
Nebraska. today resumed his, expose
Of the widespread ramifications Of
public utility interests in politics,
the field of education and the news
paper world.
Norris gave the Senate a resume
brought to light within recent years.
He told of money spent in local and
national elections, of money spent to
influence children in the public
schools and Of money spent to buy
newspapers. =,
The insurgent leaders, attack on
the power trust, by a two.day speech
to the Senate, probably will be the
basis of Congressional action to halt
requirement of newspapers by pub
lie utilities.
Other Senators Help
Norris was joined by half dozen
other Senators in deploring recent
revelations of how the International
Paper and Power Company had pur.
chased eleven ,-aily papers.
"A free press Is the keystone to
free government" said Norris.
1.-THE Power Trust meanwhile does
not forget anything. They are not
above looking after the little baby
in the cradle. They take care Of
everybody. They follow everybody.
They mix up in village elections as
we'll as national elections. They
not only buy great newspapers in
Boston and other parts of the coun-
try. but they come out into Iowa
and they buy men who are running
the village elections for councilmen
in order to defeat the man who
stands on a platform of lower cleo
trio light rates.
Large and Small,
"The Power Trust goes into every
kind Of activity. If it is metro
poIitan paper. they undertake to
devise ways and means by which
thew can buy it. If it is little
country newspaper, they go into the
local utility to get 1t.
Among the startling charges made
nv Norris, which he supported either
by records of the Federal Trade
Commissions inquiry or by other
records, were that;
The Bower Trust tried to buy the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Bos-
ton Post, offering $2O,OOO,O0O for
each.
A SAC, 900 900 fund was set aside
for the purchase OF other newspa-
pers and that IL papers were bought
outright while loans were made to
two more.
Many of these bought newspapers
hid the Power Trust interest when
making ownership returns to the
Postoffice Department.
Owns One State
An employe of the Chicago Jour
nal perjured himself by claiming
to own the interest in the paper,
which actually was held by the
Power Trust.
The State of Maine is controlled
by the Power Trust and that public
utilities dictate its elections.
The Power Trust controls Iowa
and has prevented the enactment OF
a state utility law or the creation
of State utility commission.
In Nebraska, the Power Trust
has enacted State law f0rbiddlng
municipally-owned utilities from
operating beyond city limits while
private companies are allowed to
operate all over the State.

M'CRAY PLEA FAILS
Pardon Petition for Former
Governor, Ignored.

BIZ Science Serrice
WASHINGTON, March 4-The
petition for an outright pardon for
Warren T. McCray, former Gov
ernor Of Indiana, lay unacted upon
when Calvin Coolidge finished his
term as President today, and now
the friends of the former state eX-
ecutiye must renew the movement
with Herbert Hoover.
McCray now is at liberty on a
parole under which he must report
regularly. A complete pardon was
sought so there would be no ties
whatever binding McCray to the
three and third year period he
spent in federal prison at Atlanta
for the financial troubles which
also caused his resignation as Gov
ernor.
One of the last acts Of Coolidge
was signing of the commission OF
George B. Jeffrey of Newcastle as
district attorney for the southern
Indiana federal district.
United States Senator Arthur r.
Robinson this morning took the oath
for commencement Of his new SIX

he turned from the White House tc

Northampton, Mass.
Riding down Pennsylvania ave-

No one knows yet what he plans

Coolidge did not adhere to the
usual custom of returning to the

Paints Dark Picture of Con-

Dry Amendment.
ASKS JUDICIAL REFORM
Strict Enforcement of All
Statutes Pledged by
New President.
BY PAUL Il, MALL0N
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March f.
A light drilling rain beat
down today upon Herbert Hoo
yer and his vast inaugural
crowd of $4,000 persons when
the former Iowa farm boy was
administered the oath of Office
in simple ceremony at the
foot Of the Capitol steps here
shortly after ] p. m.
The sky was dark and gray as
the new President was called to the
front of the open white pavilion by
Chief Justice william Howard Taft.
and requested to raise his right
hand to accept the constitutional
oath to perform his Office to the best
of his ability.
Bareheaded in the face of the
rain, Hoover wore his oyercoat as
he bowed and kissed the Bible be-
fore facing the colorful but drenched
assembly to deliver his inaugural
address.
They stamped their applause OF
his appeal for cooperation in law
enforcement and his announcement
that he intended to appoint a COM
mission to investigate all crime, in
cluding violations of the prohibit
ton act.
Speaks III Rain
There was high roof over the
pavilion, supported by large white
columns, but the covering offered
little protection to Hoover as he
stood before the Ilicrophones set
away from the stand. Coolidge and
lenbers of both their families were
better safeguarded from the drizzle.
The retiring President sat beside
his wife. his silk hat in his hand
ready TO go to the train which will
take hin, to his old home in
Northampton, Mass. as soon as the
capitol ceremonies we're concluded.
He was the first to congratulate
Hoover after the oath had been cd
ministered, and listened intently to
the address of his successor.

With sweeping and forceful
strokes, the new President painted
in his inaugural address a dark pic
ture of present conditions, to which
disrespect of the eighteenth amend
ment and the Volstesd act has con-
tributed, declaring that the most
mahgn" Of the dangers facing the
country today is disregard and dis
obedience of law" Crime, he de-
clared, is increasing.
Urges Obedience
He advocated reform of the entire
judicial system to obtain swift and
exact justice.
The President surprised his hear
ers by failing to make any pre-
diction about business conditions.
disrnissing this subject with a gem
erality in his conclusion that the
future of the country SIS bright with
hope"
Affecting the eighteenth amend
ment, in particular, Hoover told
the country, in effect, that there
never will be respect and obedience
of this law as long as local and
state officials wink at its violation,
and law-abiding citizens. themselves,
continue drinking.
THE worst evil Of disregard for
some law is that it destroys respect
for all law President Hoover added.
He did not go beyond his own
pledge to attempt enforcement Of
the law.
He reiterated his intention to ap-
point national commission which,
be said. would make "a searching
investigation of the whole structure
of our federal system of jurispru-
dence, to include the method OF
enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment and the causes Of abuse
under it.

while, he would transfer a large

sponsibility from the treasury 70 the
