STUDENTS RIOT TO CELEBRATE FALL OF DICTATOR
MELLON FINDS
EASY WAY To
LOSEFORAN

President Hoover will be re-
lieved Of any political embarrass-
ment in filling the post of comp
troller of customs at New York,
and may not even receive a re-
port from Secretary Mellon as
to the investigation of charges
preferred against Arthur F.
Foran, now holding that position.
A small political cyclone has
been generated around Forsn. as
sailed by the Anti-Saloon League
Of New Jersey as unsympathetic
to the prohibition laws, following
raid on his hunting lodge by
county agents.
FOran To Be Ignored
1t was learned that unless
specifically instructed to do so
the Treasury simply would rec
ommend the name of a candidate
for the New York post without
going into the study of the situa.
ton made by special investiga-
tors. Officials said that the quail.
ifications of the candidate would
then be looked into by the White
House in the usual way, and II
satisfactory the appointment
would be made automatically.
Should the recommendation be
unsatisfactory the Treasury prob
ably would be asked to submit
another name.
Officials said that the inves.
tlgation Of the Foran case had
not yet been terminated, and that
it had not been decided whether
he would be recommended for ap-
pointment at the expiration of his
term January 81.
The Treasury attaches no con.
sequence to any charge against
Foran relative to prohibition
enforcement or as to his alleged
connection with the operations
of big smuggling ring, mem
bers Of which we're indicted in
New York. The question of his
holding directorships in South
American steamship companies
was, however. considered a
serious one and one that may
prejudice his candidacy for re-
appointment.
DirectOrships Prohibited
This might lead Secretary Mel.
Ion to recommend the appoint
ment Of another candidate, since
holding of directorships is pro-
h1bited by Federal statute. &C.
cording to officials.
The Foran case at first pre-
sented a serious political prob
lem. Senators Kean and Baird,
Republicans Of New Jersey, rec.
commended his appointment to
President Hoover Immediately
after the raid on the comp.
troller's country place. The New
Jersey State political organize
ton also was back of the candi,
| date. On the other hand the
New Jersey Anti-Saloon League,
with strong political influences.
made a hard fight to prevent
reappointment.
Officials said that it might be
several days before the recon.
mendation would so to the White
House.

How TO Fly
LESSON NO. 81
By CAPT. ROY FONKE
Aerondutical Engineer
Of The Washington Times Flying Club

Last Mondays lesson explained
that a plane must be able to
move in three different dimen-
sions and that the movements
of any plane are controlled by
the use of the rudder, the ailer-
ons and the elevators.
In airplanes today these units
of control may be operated
through one of the two systems
that have proved practical-one,
the common control stick system;
and the other. the Dep. control
system, named after Depardussin,
who first arranged this system.
In the simple control stick sys-
tenn. the stick is moved forward
to go down or pulled back to
gain altitude. 1t is also moved
to the right or to the left in
order to place either side of the
machine down.
In the Dep. system, a wheel is
mounted on a bridge. BY turning
the wheel to the right or to the
left. the same results are obtained
as in the movement of the con-
troll stick to the right or to the
left. BY a movement of the
bridge forward or backward, the
same results are to be had as in
the case of the movement of the
stick forward or backward.
The accompanying illustration
shows one arrangement of the
simple control stick system. The
control stick system is used
mostly in the lighter airpIanes,

BALLOU|CNORES
SCHOOL STRIKE

Whether or not DR.. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent of public
schools, will attend the meeting
tomorrow night at Burroughs
School, when parents of school
children will register disapproval
of the transfer of their children
from Burroughs to Langdon
School, remained today a matter
of conjecture.
DR.. Ballou refused today to
comment, even so far as to say
if he had received the invitation
Of the committee in charge of
the protest meeting. which is said
to have been sent him.
Yesterday when questioned Bal
lou is understood to have denied
that he had received the invita-
ton of the committee, and added
that it is his general policy not
to attend such gathering unless
he can be of service.
It is Ballou's contention that
the argument over the transfer
is ended, and he yesterday char
acterized the threatened student
Strike and the protest meeting of
parents as "a tempest in a tea
pot"
Citizens of the Burroughs sec
ton, however, deny the trouble
is at an end, and have announced
they will continue to send their
children TO Burroughs whether
they are admitted or not.
A similar condition arose some
time ago over the proposed trans
fer of pupils from the Park View
School. At that time Ballou re-
fused to see parents of the stu.
dents.

DRY OATH IN ALL
j. s. OFFICES
SOUGHT

A hard-hitting, straight-talking
dry from Oklahoma today de-
clared war upon the wet drink
ers and dry voters" of Congress.
He is Representative U. S.
Stone, Republican, who came into
Congress on the Hoover landslide
after a successful business career
in the banking and oil producing
fields and after turbulent career
in Oklahoma politics. And he
is in the fight to a finish.
The first gun in the campaign
was fired by Stone when he
introduced a bill in the House
providing that every official and
employee of the Federal Govern
ment must take a teetotaler's
oath when he enters upon his
duties.
"After HypOcrites"
Every member of the Senate
and House-even the President
would have to take the oath,
Stone says. The oath contains
this pledge: That I will obey
all laws of the United States now
in force or hereafter enacted;
that I do not use nor will I use
intoxicating liquor or narcotics
in any form"
I'm getting at those members
Of Congress who drink and still
vote dry, in other words. the
hyprocrites. Stone told Interna-
tional News Service.
II want to put Congress on
record-to smoke them out. I'd
like to know whether these peo-
pie who vote one way and drink
another actually believe in pro.
hibition.
Il am not personally acquainted
with any one who drinks wet
and votes dry, but 1 have some
suspicious and there have been
plenty of reports. Anyway, Con-
gressional courtesy wouldn't per
NIT me to name any names.
IF we get the test vote, we
can then proceed to eliminate
those who vote dry and still
drink.
II would have the President,
every Senator. every Representa-
tive and every employe take this
oath"
Mitchell Stirred
Stone attempted to persuade
Attorney General Mitchell to back
his idea during a hearing OF the
Committee on Expenditures, of
which Stone is a member. Mitch
ell declined, but Stones question
prompted others which resulted in
publication of Mitchell's letter
saying that drinkers and wet
thinkers have no place in the JUS
tice Department.
Il don't think he went far
enough" said Stone.
Stone pract iceS what he
breaches, he says. He declared
that he knew of two postmaster5
in his district who had been re-
moved because they drank, and
he declared that he wouldn't
recommend anyone for a Federal
job who doesn't obey the Volstead
act.
He's no fanatic and does not
represent any organized dry
movement, he says. but adds that
he believes in prohibition, and
he's against hypocrisy.

PROMPT ACTION
!. SQUELCHES.
MOVES

MADRID, Jan. 20 ON.S0
called upon to fill the place left
vacant by the resignation of
General Primo de Rivera, who
ruled Spain with an iron hand
Tor more than six years as premier
and dictator, General Damaso
Berenguer today prepared to take
firm grip on the reins of
government.
King Alfonso's action in call
ing upon General Berenguer was
regarded by many as bitter pill
Tor De Rivera to swallow.
For some years General Beren-
guer has been regarded as one
OF the most formidable political
opponents of the iron-handed
military dictator.
Close Friend of King
Although seldom in the public
eye during the last few years,
the 56-year-old general who in
private life is the Govt of Xauen
is one of the closest friends OF
the king and is the head of his
majeSty's military household.
When he learned that he had
been called to form a new cabi-
net he expressed utmost sur
prise.
The kings order to form a
government is a great surprise"
he said. It will obey like
soldier, but will act like
civilian"
One of his first acts was to
take measures to prevent dis
orderly elements from using the
political upheaval necessarily &C
companying a change in govern
ment as an opportunity for
spreading unrest throughout the
country.
Demonstration Squelched
A demonstration in the streets
OF this capital staged by more
than 5000 students and others
with radical tendencies was
promptly squelched by the police.
For a time last night, however,
the demonstration threatened to
take on the aspect of a serious
riot as the streets echoed with
shouts of mo More Generals"
Long Live Liberty" and Down
With Monarchy"
Spain generally accepted the
fall of the relationships of Primo
de Rivera with an unruffled calm.
The country appeared to be favor
ably inclined toward General
Berenguer.
Strict censorship of the press
was continued, however, to pre-
vent criticism of either the new
government or the departing
cabinet of the former dictator.
The new Premier is expected
TO reinVoke the constitution of
1876 in abolishing the dictator
ship and establishing consti-
tutional government.
Elections to be Called
Soon after he was called UPON
by King Alfonso to head the new
government, he announced that
elections would be held in the
near future for both the upper
and lower chambers of the parlia-
ment. He did not fix a definite
date.
He also announced that he
would present the names of those
who will be included in his cabi-
net to the King today. 1t is
expected most of those he will
name, if not all, will b. civilians
rather than military officials.
1t is believed the cabinet will
consist chiefly of conservatives
and liberals. General Berenguer
is a liberal, but is much in favor
with the conservatives also.
The resignation of Primo de
Rivera was chiefly attributed to-
day to the Kings desire to win
the confidence of military and
political leaders who had been
ptaCooized nv the dictot0r

while the Dep system Of control
is used on the larger types of
planes. Either of these two
systems may be had in the dual
arrangement.
The rudder in either case Is
operated by the use of the rudder
bar, which is controlled by the
feet of the pilot. The rudder con-
troll in all cases is independent Of
the control stick or wheel.
In the illustration you will
notice that control cables are
used in the wings; however. steel
control bars now are taking the
place of the cables. The system
illustrated is found in very light
planes. 1t is one Of the very
simplest arrangements used.
The illustration also shows how
the movements of the control
stick cause the plane to bank or
to gain altitude.

COLUMBIA Law REVIEW REVIEWS
BEN BOSS PARDON CASE

New York March TcAmong the
recent legal victories by colored people
to be summarized in law reviews, is
the victory in the case Of Ben Boss,
South Carolina farmer, pardoned after
serving thirteen years of thirty year
sentence in prison on white waman's
when it was proposed to prosecute the
white woman for perjury, nd she then
retracted her confession. The governor
thereupon sought to revoke his pardon
of Ben Boss and it was this case,
sponsored by the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored People
which went to court, and was won for
Ben Boss, who is now free man.
The Columbia Law Review for January
1880, in it's summary states that the
important legal question raised by this
case was whether pardon may be
attacked in Habes Corpus proceedings
and the issue of fraud in inducing its
issuance determined. The decision in
the instant case eondemnes the practice
whereby the party Is deprived Of no
tice and an opportunity to be heard
by judicial tribunal on the issue OF
fraud before he is again imprisoned"
The president case, like many of those
fought or sponsored by the N. A. A. &.
P, apart form its bearing on the rights
of colored people, involves i-nprstant
questions Of law.
