Berlin, March 21.-tP>-The air plane. is trying to shed it's tail.
 Tail-less experimental planes ai- ready have been flown, and even tually tail may be as hard to find on an airplano as q buggy-Whip on a modern automobile.
 Why the trend is toward more wing and less tail is explained by Robert kronfeld, one of the fore most opponents of motorless flying.
 So long as 1irplanes were small, fragile craft with paper-thin wings, says Kronfeld, the development of a fuselage capable of carrying pas sengers and cargo seemed highly desirable
 Now, however, in the days of hugo planes with hollow wings, such IS the rccently-bu Junkers "G-3S,' the long fuselagc is losing it's excuse for existence. It is dead weight; it contributes no lift and it means cost ly wind-resistanco that cuts down speed and raises the tuel-cost.
 The "G-3S" of course, is not a tail-less plane, but the design by giving the wings functions formerly performed by the fuselagc, poins to an entirely tail-less ship.
 The tail-less "Storch" demon- strates that the all-wing airplare can fly with less power and land on a smaller field than it's tail-carry- ing contemporaries.
 The S-horscpower craft showed astonishing speed, yet it's descent was almost parachute-lihe in buoy ancy and low speed of landing.
 What strikes Kronfeld as tro strangest part of the trend toward tail-less planes is that most people look on a plane without tail ,s something startlingly new. In fact it is just the opposite. The early gliders of the Wright brothers were to all intents and purposes tail-les3.

Silent on Prohibition.
The convention failed to follow its
1928 precedent by introduction of a

for that controversial question to pop up
on the floor. Nor did the New York ex-

O'CONNELL is CALLER
AT OFFICE OF ROVER
Newspaper Man Is Expected to
Leave Evidence on Liquor
Conditions in City.

United States Attorney Leo A. Rover
today interviewed Daniel e. OConnell,
city editor Of the Washington Times, in
connection with testimony at the recent
trial of Robert +. Iangdon, precinct
detective of the fifth precinct, who was
acquitted of charge of transporting
liquor. O'Connell went voluntarily to
the Office of the prosecutor following
the publication of letter to Rover
from Henry G. Pratt, major and super
intendent Of police, requesting the pros
ecutor to summon O'Connell before the
grand jury to tell Of supposed liquor
law violations by two captains and
other members of the police force.
Rover said O'Connell was expected to
leave with him the evidence supposed to
have been gathered by reporters for the
paper in an inquiry into liquor condi-
lions in Washington. The prosecutor
will read this evidence to see if it con-
tains anything in addition to the in
formation given by O'Connell before the
grand jury last October. The grand
jury then reported that there was evil
dence only of 4 violations out of 20
places alleged to have been visited by
the Times reporters, and returned in
dictments against persons supposed to
be connected with the cases.

PLAN TO REPLACE
BRIDGE APPROVED
Commissioners Send Report on
Moore Bill to District Com
mittee Head.

The District Commissioners today
sent their report to Chairman zihlman
Of the House District committee on the
bill introduced by Representative r..
Walton Moore of Virginia authorizing
an appropriation of $4,000 for an engI-
neering study under the Secretary of
War and preparation of plans for a
new bridge across the Potomac River
to replace the present Chain Bridge.
The Moore bill provided that the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission should be consulted re-
garding the location Of the bridge and
the Commission of Fine Arts regaGing
its design.
The Commissioners report says that
they do not believe that passage of the
bill Is necessary to accomplish the pur-
pose In view since they are already in
a position to prepare plans and esei-
mates of cost and intend to do so as
soon as is reasonably possible.
1.-THE construction Of new bridge to
replace the present Chain Bridge is list
ed as one Of the major projects in the
bridge program of the District. and the
Commissioners propose to present this
project to Congress for action in the
near future" the report states. I'm
the preparation of the project for sub
mission to Congress, the war Depart
ment, the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and the Commits
sion of Fine Arts will be consulted.
Chain Bridge is not designed for q
modern heavy highway load" the re-
port says, land its capacity has been
reduced by a certain amount of de-
terioration in the iron truss members"
The Commissioners contend that
preparation of the design and estimate
and the actual construction Of the
bridge when authorized should be COM
mitted to them if it is the intention Of
Congress that the cost of the structure
and its maintenance are to be charged
