HOOVER FREQUENT
RADIO SPEAKER
Equals CooIidge's Five-Year
Record in Two Years,
With 81 Talks.

years to make has been equaled by
Herbert Hoover in less than two years.
Compilations issued yesterday by the
National and Columbia broadcasting
systems said Coolidge spoke 81 times
over the radio while he was President.
President Hoover has only to speak one
more time to make 38 appearances be-
fore the microphone since March 4,
1929. II
Breaks Yearly Record.
He has already broken the yearly
record for presidential radio addresses.
He spoke 81 times over the National
system and IS times over the Columbia
in 1880. On the majority Of occasions
his addresses were sent by both chains.
The legislative branch Of the Gov
eminent was also well represented and
the leading subject was agriculture, its
ills and what to do about them; One
hundred and ninety three officials OF
the Agriculture Department appeared
before a national microphone 589
times.

LORD MELCHETT
DIES AT LONDON
Brilliant Organizer of Indus
try SuCcumbS to Blood
Poisoning.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, December 27.-Lord Mel
chett, giant of British industry and
finance and the son of q Jewish immi-
grant to Great Britain, died in London
today after long illness with phlebitis,
which gave rise to general blood poison
ing.
BY his death England has lost bril-
liant genius of modern industrial or
ganization at q time when the country
is looking forward to such leaders to
help bring about its economic salvation.
Aided Work in Palestine.
A leader Of rare quality, both in poll
tics and in business, Lord Melchett'S
interests were worldwide. He was i'm
mensely wealthy, but after one trip to
the United States remarked that he
felt like pauper in comparison with
the multimillionaires of that country.
Lord Melchett, who rose to promi-
nence as Sir Alfred Mond, was a big
man physically and was big in ideas in
politics and business and of wide vision
in social problems, particularly in the
relations of employers and workers. He
was an ardent Zionist and had con-
tributed great sums to the Zionist work
in Palestine.
Taken III In October.
He forged strong links of Anglo
American finance, but his $3.50, 000, 900
Imperial Chemical Industries organi-
zation is his chief industrial monument.
This great organization is housed in a
great new building on the banks of the
Thames and Lord Melchett's face and
figure are already carved over its por-
tails.
Lord Melchett was taken Ill in Octo-
Der and a few weeks ago his condition
was described as serious. A slight rally
was followed by relapse on Christmas
eve. Lady Melchett was almost con-
stantly at his bedside during his Illness.
He was 81 years Of age.
Interests Devolve on Son.
His great interests will devolve on his
32-year-old son, the Honorable Henry
Mond, who succeeds to the title. OF

three straight races by Columbia. Two years later Columbia again de- tended the cup and defeated Sham rock II in three straight races. In 1903 Shamrock III lost to Reliance in three straight races It was not until 1920 that Sir Thomas was able to break his losing streak.
 Won First Two Contests
 That year Shamrock " defeated Resolute in the first two races and then the American defender won the next three in succession. This year the series was changed to require the winning of four out of seven races.
 Roughly, in the last five chal- lenges, Sir Thomas boats have been tagging in behind the American de- lenders an average of about four or five minutes race. His worse de- feat was in the last race of the 1920 series when Resolute defeated Sham rock " by 19 minutes and 45 sec onds.
 Today yachtsmen are suggesting to Sir Thomas that he change his crew; that he increase or decrease his ballast; that he abandon the name Shamrock because it apparent ly has laid a jinX on him.
 But Sir Thomas clings to his old line boats and his old time ideas and today he is just as hopeful as he was in 1899 that once more Brittania shall rule the waves.

Maietta'S Financial Affairs No
 Concern Of Court

Andrew Maietta, for years pro- prietor of store on Lafayette street, is in a poor way financially and is having difficulty collecting what is due him from the estate of his wife, Mrs. Concetta Maietta, Attorney David L. Nair told Judge M. D. Saxe in police court today when Maietta was arraigned on the charge of Vlo- lation of probation.

'We're going into the probate court and find out what the situation IS, Attorney Nair said.
 Judge Sake ordered Maietta to pay s15 a week to Probation Officer Connolly commencing today, until the balance owed on a fine of $35O and costs imposed in January for violation of the liquor law, is wiped off the books. The balance is STA, which can be paid when Maietta re- ceives money which he claims is due him from his wife's estate.

Eugene Pearson, 36, of 110 River street. Bridgeport, Theodore Rain ault, 23, of 2S Owen street, Hart ford, and George Fitzgerald 30, of 2S Owen street, Hartford, were ar rested this afternoon on suspicion Of having stolen wearing apparel in stores in this city and elsewhere.
 They went into Birnbaums store at Main and Lee streets and dis cussed the pprchase of a suit of clothing, but their actions were sus- picious and Officer John M. Liebler was notified as soon as they went out. At sight of the officer, they entered an automobile which they had parked near the Palace theater but later the officer picked them up or Main street and questioned them.
 At police headquarters they were found to have a new suit of mems clothes and some stockings in a bag, also newspaper clippings relative to a jail break Tn Bridgeport and the activities of the pants gang" in New York. They claimed that the men involved in the jail break and the pants gang" activities were ac- and that was why they saved the clippings.

This yachtsman referred to the fact that although Vanderbilt took tho weather berth away from Shamrock, he did not bear down on the cha!- ienger and deprive her of the breeze by intercepting it with his own tow ering sails. In addition to the ad- vantage of a lower center of ton Iage, Enterprise wears a higher sail plan than Shamrock V, something that often counts tellingly when the breeze is light and stronger aloft than over the surface of the sea.
 The race scheduled by the icup committee for today was the regu- lation 30 miles windward-leeward or leeward- windward. If the direction of the wind permitted a windward leg of IS miles would be sailed first.
 Yesterday a dense fog in the early morning caused postponement of the third contest of the series, but shift in breeze gave promise of bet ter sailing conditions today.

Same Original Design

Newport, R. l., Sept. 17 (UP)- So far as speed and general design are concerned Sir Thomas Lipton's latest yacht is almost identical with the sloop he brought across the ocean on that Indian summer day in 1899 when he first raced for the Americas cup.
 All the Shamrocks from the first to his latest challenger, have been lean, green boats, conforming strict ly to English design. Somewhere in the mind of the S1-year-old sports man fingers tenaciously the idea that he has been on the right track for years and that his boats have lost because of pranks of fate.

NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER IT, 1e3

If Shamrock I were to be lowed alongside Shamrock V here, the av- craze person would notice only one major difference in the boats. It is in the main sail-the spreading piece of canvas that carries most of the burden of the wind. On Shamrock l the main sail is in two pieces and on Shamrock V it is in one piece.
 Just why Sir Thomas has not done more experimenting with his boats has been a mystery to yachtsmen. Yesterday, in an interview with the United Press, he explained it. He believes in old line yachting. He is a disciple of things as they are, and he prefers to put his faith in brains and brawn rather than mechanical Improvements. Experts say that is why his latest Shamrock has been so soundly beaten in the first two races of the series by Enterprise, a boat that is equipped with every modern facility for dragging the last ounce of speed out of the wind.
 But "gadgets" mean nothing to Sir Thomas for he is a believer in sym bols. He likes to think, for instance, that the horseshoe that is carried aboard the Shamrock V before every race is more potent than any patent winch that Harold Vanderbilt may have installed in the hull of Enter prise, and he has an abiding faith that the small monkey that is mas cot on his green sloop will see Sham rock victoriously through this race.
 Statistics, recognizing no senti- mcnt or lunches, refute him. In the 31 years he has been sending his Shamrocks across the ocean he has won only two races out of 16. In 1899 Shamrock I was defeated in

SHAMROCK SAIL
 BELLOWS DOWN,
 ENDING CONTEST
Continued on Page Two)

Shamrock " the British challenger, three quarters of an hour after the start.
 Footing it along on even terms with Enterprise, the defender, Shamrock lost her mainsail, which hillowed down, half on her deck and half in the water. She immediately lost way and came about It at first appeared that a block, which holds the big wing to the masthead, had carried away. The main halyard, which holds the big wing to the masthead had parted.
 Enterprise started to come around when the mishap to Shamrock oc- cured, but then turned back on the course, apparently determined to sail out the race and claim the Vlc- tory.
 Hauls in Dragging Sail
 The tug Susan A. Moran, carry ing the race committee, steamed over to the disabled Shamrock as did the Erin, Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht. The challenger's crew, however, hauled in their big sail alone and then Captain Ned Heard turned his boat back toward the starting line, running ahead of the wind in only her top sails.
 The rest of the big spectator fleet stayed close by for few minutes and then set off after the Enter prise, footing it away for the 15- mile mark.
 Sir Thomas Shamrock " won the first race in 1920 under alm"st iden- tical conditions as those which over came his vessel today.
 In that race. which was held off Sandy Hook, Resolute's throat hal yard parted and Shamrock " sailed out the race, as was her privilege, and was declared the winner. She also won the second race, but then Resolute won three in a row and kept the cup. The series that year was best three out of five.
