BULb0US- VESSELS
 INCREASED SPEED
Not Designed for Records, But
 to Facilitate Repairs

New York, April (UP)-The widespread impression, created by the record runs of the liners Bremen and Europa, that the Germans in vented the "bulbous bow" for yes scls is incorrect, according to H. l.. Boucher, q naval architect.
 Boucher explained today that the principle was recognized and per fccted in the United States before either the Bremen or Europa was built Most of the credit, he said goes 10 three men-an obscure naval architect named Frcar, David w. Taylor and Theodore Ferris, both of whom arc we'll known ship design CTS.
 Frcar apparently had no idea that tho bulbous bow would increase speed when he began his expert ments. He was working to make it possible for rivctcrs to get inside the bow of boats so the plates that made up the knife edged prov could be rivetcd instead of screwed to- Ecther. That would have mean a considerable reduction of expenses.
 Back in 1898 people considered Frear's idea ridiculous, Boucher said. They contended it would re- duce speed and that all the money saved would have to be expended in increasing the horsepower of the engines. Then Taylor began his tests in Washington with ship models.
 To his surprise he found that the bulbous bow vessels made even bet ter speed than the sharp proved ships with the blunt brow. Among vessels so constructed are the Shaw nee and Iroquois of the Clyde line.
 In 1900. Boucher said. the second class battleships Mississippi and Idaho were made with bulbous bows.
 The principle back of the bulbous bow, Boucher said, is that instead of the vessel piling up resistance in one place ahead of the ship, it scat ters it. The bulbous bow sends part of the resistance under the vessel and part along the sides.

SPEAKEASY MEN
 KIND ID CHECKERS
Census Takers Offered Highballs
 -AttaCked Elsewhere

New York. April 5 (UP)-The life of the census taker in New York is just one long adventure, for when he knocks on the door he never knows whether he will get kind words and a whisky-and-sod or curses and an invitation to see if he can defeat a police dog in single combat.
 So far, the palm for courtesy and cooperation with the government goes to the speakcasy proprietors. The enumerators report that the iron grills guarding the speakeasies swing easily and the enumerators have one on the house while the necessary papers are filled out.
 There are people who are afraid they won't be counted and others who are afraid they will. There was the nice, quiet old lady who called at census headquarters and report cd' no one had been to her house, and would the government kindly hurry things up because this was all too exciting and doctors had told her to be careful of her heart
 The hospitality of good-hearted d housewives is slowing up the census, officials said. Often the enumerator is asked to take off his coat and have a cup of tea: the roast is in the oven and dinner will be served in an hour and in the interim the good lady can glean all the information that the enumcrator gathered about her neighbors.
 The menace of hospitality became so great, that federal officials here were forced to issue an appeal to the public, the gist of which is:
 Please do not feed or molest the census takers"

SOVIET NEWSPAPER
 CLAIMS U. s. HELP
Insists Communism Spreading
 Rapidly in America

Moscow, April 5 Pj-Pravda, of- ficial organ of the communi5c party, today said that revolutionary feeling is steadily developing among the masses in the United States, as- serting that this was proved by the events of March 8, the international unemployment demonstration day which caused riots in a number of American and foreign cities.
 The American communist party, it adds, is being converted from a mere propagandist unit into a cohe- sive group.
 After telling it's readers that the American communist party in the past has led many bitter class struggles, including the textile and mines strikes in 1927 and the re- cent trouble in the Gastonia mill r2- gions, Pravda regretfully announces that only an insignificant number of new members have entered the party, the present membership be- ing only 15,000. American com munists are endeavoring to correct this weakness, it explains, by an intensive recruiting campaign.
