GOTHAM SIGHTS
ARE MAJESTIC
TO SABATINI
Famous Author StareS
Open Mouthed as He
Sees Towers.
BY Fl. ALLEN SMITH
United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Rafael
Sabatini. novelist, a big, thick
shouldered man, counterpart of his
own Captain Blood, stood on the
sidewalks of Forty-second street
Thursday, stared open-mouthed for
a bit at the glistening white tower
or the Chrysler building, and
muttered the Italian equivalent OF
Gosh durni"
For years Rafael Sabatini has
been living in the midle ages. He
has had no time to read contem-
porary writings, scarcely time to
look over the daily papers. Some
times, in his meanderings through
ancient periods, he changes pace,
but it is only to jump from Eliza
bethan England, to the Italian
renaissance, or to the period Of the
French revolution.
And now, for the first time, he has
come face to face with his town Of
towers. 1t oVerWhelms him.
1t Is Majestic Sight
New York he said, 'is vastly
different than I imagined. 1 thought
I would find a glorif1ed factory town.
But it has turned out to be the most
majestic sight my eyes have en-
countered. 1t is so majestic it is
terrifying"
Sabatini's play, THE Tyrant,' is
in rehearsal at the Biltmore the
ater.
He kept telling Cesare Borgia and
Machiavelli, characters in the play,
that they should nod their heads
at certain times, or take step to
the right or left But he admitted
his mind was not on the play. He
wanted to get back into the street
and have another walk through the
lanes OF skyscrapers.
Sabatini revealed his manner of
research. Preparing to write book
on a certain historical period, he
depends, to a great extent, on plays
written during that period. From
these he gets an idea of the man
ner in which people talked and
thought
Reads Volumes of History
But he reads volumes and volumes
of histories, memoirs, biographies
and diaries. He studied the Ameri-
can revolution for his book, THE
Carolinian."
For "Scaramouche," he explored
the French revolutionary period. He
has dug into the history of buc-
caneering on the Spanish main and
the romance of the Mediterranean
corsairs.
The most difficult task of all was
his preparation for writing Bell
srion." This story was laid in Italy
in the early fifteenth century before
the coming of the printing press.
Contemporary writings were scarce
and the task of reconstructing the
era was extremely difficult.
Scaramouche" was the first Sa-
batini book to make a hit in Ameri-
ca. He just has completed the Sc
Z quel, 'Scaramouche the Kingmak-
en-"
He will stay in America about two
months and may find time for a
brief visit to Hollywood.

EDUCATION BOARD
HEARINGS STARTED
Trend of Testimony Shows
Favor for Election of
Members.

The hearings were started today be-
fore the Reid subcommittee of the
House District committee on the bill
providing for election Of School Board
In the District of Columbia. The hear
ings will be continued at 1880 pm.
The principal witnesses today were
Mrs. William T. Zimmerman, represent
ing the parent-teacher associations
and president Of the joint committee
for election of the School Board;
Charles l.. Stengle, formerly a member
OF Congress from New York, and Maj.
Gen. Amos A. Fries.
The members of the subcommittee
present were Representatives Reid, Illi-
noiS; Beers, Pennsylvania; Norton, New
Jersey; Hall, Indiana, and Palmer Of
Missouri.
Gen. Fries spoke in favor Of longer
school hours with home study reduced
to minimum.
The general trend Of the testimony
was In favor Of election Of the school
board so that the people would thus be
brought into closer contact with the
schools and thus would be able to exert
their influence on the Superintendent
OF schools In having the system of In
struction changed to meet the wishes
OF the people.
Members of the subcommittee said
their impression from the hearing this
morning was that there was disSatisfac-
ton with DR.. Frank w. Ballou and the
discussion was largely regarding ways
In which they believed the school sys-
tenn should be changed.
There was considerable talk in favor
OF the platoon system with an intima-
ton that DR.. Ballou had not favored
the platoon system because 1t would
have interfered with the proposed ave-
year school building program.

dered with his speeches in the National
Forum have been particularly striking.
Size Of Audience Is Awesome.
No statesmen could draw their heart
into the task to greater extent we're
they facing great visible audiences. All
are impressed with the idea that they
are SPEAKING to from 100000 to TO-
000, 900 people over great broadcaSting
chain, and this fact alone sometimes
proves aweSome.
Uususlly they sit at table to read
their remarks. Radio has proven that
address seems interminable to the
listener.
Earnestness, If there can be any out
standing characteristic, marks the de-
livery Of practically every speech. Some
statesmen become so enthusiastic that
they pound the table, creating a noise
net at all to the listeners liking. Some
speak with well modulated voices thor
oughly appropriate to the radio, others
do not modify their oratorical style as
practiced in the halls of Congress.
Debates, always on big public ques-
tons, such as frequently are held DUR
ing the National Radio Forum period,
are entered into with the rest of school
boys. No so long ago q Senator and q
member of the House were to discuss a
phase Of the farm relief question. Each
was allotted Is minutes. The Senator,
who spoke drst, encroached 10 minutes
on the time of the Representative. This
was not exactly to the liking of the
House Representative, who folded his
written speech and asked the radio
technician to arrange the microphone
so that he might stand up.
There being no tall microphone at

the moment, the instrument was
perched upon photographers tripod
and the House member launched ex-
temporaneously into his rebuttal. More
was said in that five minutes than in
any similar period in the House. So
that he gesticulated before the micro
phone and as the last syllable of
really remarkable speech fell from his
lips the Representative, forgetting for
the moment that he was not In person
before a great audience, bowed low as
he stepped back.
Senator David I. Walsh Of MaSsa-
chusettS has remarkable radio voice.
Senator Pat Harrison Is certain to
arouse his radio audiences because Of
his clarity of voice and the cogency
of his thought. Patrick j. Hurley,
Secretary of War, one of the most
charming personalities in President
Hoover's cabinet. seems able to project
himself to the radio audience in his
speeches.
Ruth Bryan owen, daughter of the
great commoner and member Of the
House, has a remarkable radio per-
sonality. Ruth Hanna Mccormick. now
O candidate for United States Senator
in Illinois, accepts the radio in q
matter-of-fact fashion and Is neither
fearful nor excited. Her talk in the
National Forum stirred real national
interest.
Generally speaking. however. there
is no hesitancy or fear on the part OF
the statesmen in Washington as they
approach the microphone. The goal
to be achieved. rather than the meth
DDS Of reaching that goal, seems to
focus their attention. AS q whole,
they are good radio speakers.

CAPPER FORESEES
TARIFF VICTORY
Senator, in Radio Talk, De-
clares Hoover Policies Have
Been Helpful.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Capper of Kansas today
indicated his belief that, in effect, the
Observation-Disclosures independent CO.
alition is writing tariff bill which viii
be agreeable to President Hoover.
While the Senate began what it was
hoped would be the final weeks work
on the measure which has occupied 1t
just six months next Saturday, Capper
said in a radio address that at Is my
belief that the Senate discussion and
actions viii result In tariff rates in lire
with President Hoover's program, this
In spite Of the fact that those rates, in
the last analysis, will be written in great
part by political enemies of the Presi-
dent"
Hoover Policies Beneficial
Characterizing Mr.. Hoover's first year
as President as "a year of fact finding,
the Kansas Republican asserted that
'the policies followed, the programs laid
down and initiated, the actions taken
by President Hoover so far, are along
lines that will rebound to the best
interests Of the entire country In the
long run"
1T seems to me-" he said, this nrst
year Of President Hoover has been q
year Of fact finding; year Of work on
data and blue prints; year Of founda-
ton laying. These are the mark Of the
engineering mind of President Hoover"
Capper named six major national
projects which he said the President
had facing him on beginning his term:
Farm relief, law enforcement, including
prohibitions; limited tariff revision, in
land waterways, preparation for an
approaching economic crisis and pro-
motion of world peace.
Market Situation Met.
He praised Mr.. Hoover's handling of
the stock market crash as a mastery
piece of work." said that the Federal
Farm Board has helped the situation"
and that the success or failure Of the
inland waterways program would be q
later development.
Capper expressed approval of the
Commission" idea and said he looked
for recommendations of the Law En-
forcement Commission to be enacted.
Good will come from the London Naval
Conference, he added, though perhaps
not to the extent that many Of u had

COMMONEST CRIME
Police Chiefs Survey of 400
U. S. Cities Given
Senate Body.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The first report of q survey Of the
trend and characteristics of crime that
has been undertaken by the Interna-
tional Association of Chiefs of Police
has been placed in the hands Of the
Senate judiciary committee.
The report, covering the month of
January, recorded offenses committed
during that month in 400 cities of 43
States.
Bruce Smith of the committee on uni
form crime records, who filed the re-
port with the Senate committee, said
that through the reports that would be
gathered 1t would be possible to analyze
the fluctuation, character and diStribu-
ton of reported offenses.
"Of the reportabIe offenses," Smith
said, referring to the report for jan
uary, murder, manslaughter by
negligence, rape, grave assault, rob-
berry, burglary, larceny, over and under
$50, and auto theft, the two groups of
larceny account for over one-third of
the offenses reported.
Auto theftS constitute about one
fourth of the total, with burglary next
in line. The total burglaries exceed
the number of robberies in the ratio of
almost three to one. Robbery and
homicide, which represent the crime
wave in the public mind, represent only
Q per cent of the total Of reportable
offenses, and, of course, only an infini-
tesimal part of the much larger total
which would be obtained If minor Of
lenses were included.
The report did not cover New York
City nor Philadelphia. OF the cities

or non-negligent manslaughter cases;
