LISTS TERMINALS
AS 4OUT OF DATE
Architect Says AirpIane Is
Likely to Create vexing
Traffic Problem.

The airplane is likely to revolution
lie our conception of what a terminal
ought TO be, Richard j. Neutra, Los
Angeles architect, declares in an article
In the Architectural Record. He con-
siders that terminals are altogether out
Of date; that the terminal idea is too
much opposed to the necessary conttn-
tity Of traffic flow.
The railroad station, the steamship
pier, and the airport should not be
considered as terminals, where journeys
end, but as transfer points where pas
sengers and goods change from one
vehicle OF transportation to another,
he contends.
with air transportation, says Mr.
Neutra, "a new type of transfer point
appears in the network of regional
trafhc systematic so-called airport
Here mistakes similar to those made in
monumental railway terminals are i'm
minent and threatening early obSo-
lescence of ambitious investments.
Airports Classified.
can airport should be a point where
a specific kind Of transportation stops.
But freight and people go on being
transported. They simply change their
vehicle and this change should mean
minimum of time investment. It
should be smooth, rapid and In
expensive"
TO develop his ideas for the benefit
Of other architects and engineers en-
gagged in planning airports, Mr.. Neutra
describes what he believes to be an
ideal project.
In this design the regional rapid
transit Is brought right over the spa
cious loading stalls of airliners, giving
them at the same time a desirable pro-
lection during embarking and disem-
barking of passengers Easy ramps
connect the sidewalks of these stalls
with main waiting rooms and the up
stairs grand concourse as well as with
the level of the metropolitan rapid
transit traffic.
Rule for Tire Vehicles.
On the other hand, all tire vehicles
enter the air transfer in traffic lanes
especially assigned to the different
types of conveyances, taxicabs, motor
buses, baggage and mail trucks. These
vehicles stop at allotted places around
their loading and unloading islands.
The main entrance lobby, with the
baggage concourse, Is centrally located
around baggage elevators and ramps.
From the lobby portion OF this island
easily assembled ramps lead passengers
up to the grand concourse, post Office,
writing and waiting rooms.
Thus this grand concourse, 20 feet
above the field level, becomes the CEN
ter of pedestrian traffic. 1t is there
fore made the center from which
demonstrating concessions radiate
Broad, well Illuminated shopping ar
cades run In one direction toward the
promenade overlooking the field, the
cars, the amusement park and the
hotel and in the other direction toward
the aircraft display hall and the street
bridge which connects this concession
avenue with the spacious auto park.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE
BY MoLLIE MERRICK.

HOLLYWOOD, March IS (N.A.N.A.).
What are we going to do for leading
ladies? Some of the new experiments
are not working so WELL and so many
of the old stars are passing out of the
picture that the outlook is ominous.
AT the First National feminine talent
has dwindled down to Alice White as
sole star of a lot where once Colleen
Moore and Corinne Griffith were names
of might. When these heads fell,
Alice Whites pictures were broadcast
throughout the country as the great
attraction of 1880 at this lot. She's
been on the lot all the while, but only
for the jazz angle, the sex come-on, the
little-cutey-with-a-way stuff.
Ina Claire is out with Pathe, but
Isn't bothered. One of her greatest dis
appointments in motion picture work is
the fact that her first gelatin was not
given Broadway showing.
Eastern critics hunted in vain for
her tallSie, and with characteristic per-
sistence located it in an out-of- the-way
theater. But Broadway's darling of
to play on her own street.
Ina Claire will not go back to the
legitimate without giving talkies thor
ough try. Before the dissolution of this
contract she was talking things over
with other companies. The releases of
her first picture didn't reach her public
in the way they should, is her feeling
Not that she gives the first one much;
she's inclined to believe it wasn't good
movie stuff.
The village is already agog with ru-
mors that this development will end
the Jack Gilbert marriage. I think I
may safely say it viii not. And I am

herself told me one day not long since
at luncheon.
Herbert Brenon, rife with tempera.
ment, telephoned his producer in Holly
wood and read him most of a play
Brenon was in Copenhagen. But little
things of that sort do not bother those
who make talkieS.
They mulled the story over for AZ
minutes while central counted up 1884
on her rosy finger tips. The best part
of it all is the fact that the gentlemen
will now take the tale under considera-
ton. There is no penny pinching ir
this village along such lines. But lei
some one buy 80 yards of cheeseclott
more than the necessary amount, anc
then the efficiency staff steps in anC
some poor benighted individual step:
out.
One Of our biggest and best studios
brought famous New York playwright
out and put him to work on story. Il
was weak, but he 1abored to build 1t up
He put in harder hours toiling on dia-
logue for this than he ever had on hi
own works.
Seven days later an assistant to the

burst into his room.

HOPE FOR FIVE
POWER PACT IS
SEEN AS REMOTE,
StimsOn's Statement Or
Consultative Pact OF
No Assistance
BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Mar. 26. U.P)-
Possibility of obtaining a five pow
er naval agreement at London was
still left remote today despite Sec
rotary of State Stimson's statement
offering 70 consider a consultative
pact provided it involved no implied
obligation to render military assist
ance.
Press dispatches from Paris indi-
Gated little importance was attached
to the Stlmson suggestion by the
French government. Acting Secre
tary of state Cotton, after confer
cncc with President Hoover, ex-
pressed the view that it was hardly
likely that consultative pact
would bring about any reduction of
tonna"c proposed by the French.
Cotton took the view that Slim
sons remarks, which were cabled
here for President Hoover's infor-
nation, did not register any new or
important roint in conference dcvel-
opmcnts. The official interpreta.
ton of the statement was that il
represented mercy reiteratl0n of
American policy. which is that the
United States will not join in any
trade implying future military as
siStancc in return for immediate re-
duction of the French naval pro
gram. Such an agreement, Cotton
believes. would be provocative of
international misunderstanding ana
would not he considered by the
American delegation under ang eli.
cumstanccs.
Cotton repeated no propose had
been made by any conference part
cipant for an innocuous consultative
pact of the type Stimson suggested
the American delegation would con
sider with an open mind.
Considerable confusion has result
ed from the Stimson statement.
which followed closely upon infor-
nation obtained here that a consult
ativc pact would not bring about
reduction of proposed programs by
single ton, and Cotton discussed
the situation with the President
with view to clarifying it.

MARCONI GIVES
DEMONSTRATION
OF TRANSMISSION
BY THOMAS E. MORGAN
United Press staff Correspondent

ABOARD YACHT ELECTRA, off
Genoa, Mar %. UP from new
special apparatus set up in his sea
going laboratory, Guglielmo Marconi
today transmitted sufficient elcctri-
cal power to sydney, Australia, to
close a circuit and throw on the eur
rent that lighted thousands of lamps
ut Australia g electro technical show.
Previous to the test, at II u. m.
Rome Time, United Press staff
correspondent exchanged radio tcle-
phone conversations with newspaper
len at sydney.
Addition WAS good, as the CORES
rondent conveyed the greetings of
his colleagues on the Electra to the
australian press. He was informed
that everything was in readiness at
the Sydney city hall where the cleo
tgical show was in progress, for the
radio mechanical action lighting the
auditorium.
Marconi. taking the radiophone
,iansmitter before the test, read a
message Of greeting, He recalled
that it was 80 years ago that he first
transmitted faint signals across the
Atlantic ocean.

Previous to the tests, the Italian
radio expert emphasized that his
fat was not the actnal transmission
OF power sufficient to light the bulbs
n Australia, but that only sufficient
energy was sent over the ocean to
close the circuit in particular place.
Marconi already had carried out
similar successful experiments, and
had held several conversations from

Says Prohibition
Cuts Death Rate

Prohibition has cut down the ma

Lentz said that in the five years
irior to prohibition, 1914 TO 1919,

showed that the relation of actual
10 expected mortality ranged from 60
to 63 per cent, except in the in
flucnza epidemic when it ran to 90
per cent.
''But the average for the years
