f1uence of the fair sex easily is
noticeable in the latest creations of
the airplane designers displayed at
the international aircraft exposition
here today.
The designers have gotten farther
away from the strictly utilitarian
trend this year than ever before.
While speed and safety still are
highly important, plane statesmen at
the show are stressing the luxurious
trappings and the "homelike" COM
forts of the 1890 plane.
Listening to conversation of the
statesmen, one hears:
Eyes, sir, here is just the ship to
please the little lady. 1t has lux

Prepares for Flight

BIZ United Press
ST. LOUIS, Feb. 18.-Harry A.
Hustled, Cleveland millionaire, was
here today examining aeronautical
equipment shown at the internation-
al aircraft exposition, selecting &C
ceSsories for his proposed fight
around the world in a specially built
thirty -two-passenger Fokker mono
plane.
He plans to complete the fight in
fifteen days, shattering the twenty
one-day record of the Graf Zeppelin.
Hustled estimates cost of the flight
at 100000, of which the ship and
equipment will represent 100000.
Weather conditions permitting,
Hustled hopes to take off June Is.
The trip is to map out practical
aviation route around the world.
A penniless hitch-hiker four years
ago, Hustled amassed a fortune from
his invention of a hard rubber steer
ing wheel for automobiles.

Persistence of a contractor in con-

Brown, 1861 Carrollton avenue, and

Called On by State During
BIaCkmaiI Trial of
Publisher.

Testimony that threats of publ
cation of defamatory stories in the
Indiana Journal were employed by
Irving Webster, publisher, to obtain
advertising, was recited today from
the witness stand as the criminal
court blackmail trial of Webster
neared close.
Names Of outstanding civic and
POLITICAL figures in the state, county
and city went into trial records as
victims of the scheme as the state
produced evidence by which they
hope to convict Webster of using his
paper, the Indiana Journal, to force
persons into buying advertising
space.
On the witness stand today were
Criminal Judge James A. Collins,
George G. Rinier, attorney; Abe
Greenspan, professional bondsman
and Miss Edna Closing. The lat
ter witness was employed by Ben
Newman, admitted co-conspirator
with Webster as collecting agent.
Webster's defense is understood
to be based on the contention that
he was drawn into" the scheme
by Newman, high pressure sales
man.
That the trial may have sig

OF TAX
BOARD UPHELD
Jurisdiction Over Local
Budget LevieS Approved.

Jurisdiction of the state tax board
over local budget !evies was upheld
by he Indiana supreme court today.
The state board can approve or
reduce local levies, but not increase
them, the court held.
The case was an appeal taken by
Philip Zoercher and other tax board
members from a decision of the st.
Joseph superior court in which the
state boards jurisdiction was de-
MED in reducing by l cent 73-cent
levy made by the city of South
Bend.
One of the unusual features of
the case was that it was instituted
by Robert B. Alger and other South
Bend taxpayers who demanded the
right to pay the 70 rather than r.
cent levy.
The tax board made the 1-cent
reduction when it was disclosed
that the higher levy was based on
a $188,000,O00 valuation and should
have been based on $191 100000. 1t
was pointed out that 70 cents would
be sufficient to cover all proposed
budget expenditures.
Walter Arnold, South Bend at
torney, arg,ed the appeal against
the tax board on the basis of
home rule" He told the court
that the tax board was usurping
unconstitutionally legislative func-
ton in passing on the levies.
But today's opinion, written by
Justice Clarence R. Martin, upholds
the conStitutionality of the 1927
statute giving the tax board this
power.
