Poles in Furore on Salary Raises
 at Brid geport National Convention

Following no apparent causal in- lection, rigidity of the neck set in Friday night and the child died two days later with lockjaw. A tenta- tive diagnosis of cerebro-s spinal meningitis was found on examina- tion to be wrong. Physicians were perplexed, however, at the absence Of original infection. The only scratch the child is known to have had was an irritation of the heel three months ago. Tetanus usually sets in, according to medical au- thorities, nine days after infection, but cases have been known to de- velop later.

Bridgeport, August 20 tPl-Salary increases were voted the president, secretary and other officers of the Polish Union at a stormy conven- ton session today at St. MichaeTs Hall, East Main and Pulaski streets. The action followed a heated con- troversy which lasted for about an hour and during which Dr. B. L. Smykowski of Bridgeport, presiding officer, had his ruling questioned and was forced to rap his gavel often, long and loudly for order.
 President Stanley Caster Of Buff faIo, who was granted a S1200 in- crease for an annual salary Of S5,- coo. personally appealed to the con- vention to grant him and the secre- rary the increases included in the budget as the work has become heavier and the duties are manifold Martin NJ, IdzIk secretary was voted s1,Qo0 increase which brings hl. salary up to $4500. The salary O. the treasurer. Walter L. Lohr, remains at S35oo.
 The argument arose during the consideration Of the proposed bud get increase of more than s6.080 which provides for the fixed ex- renses during the coming year at >143 $50 as compared with s1c635 during the past year.
 Chairman Smykowski nas over ruled on the procedure when a mo- ion vas made to eliminate the pro- posed increases from she budget. A roll call vote resulted in the defeat ot the motion after which the bud get was passed practically as recommended, including the in- creases.
 Refuses to Recognize speaker
 The session was marked by the differences between Albert Adamski Of Buffalo, nationally known labor leader, member Of the national la bor committee and Garment Makers organizer. and the chairman. The subject Of their verbal conflict was the procedure. Dr, Smykowski finally refused 10 recognize him and hammered him down on several oc- casions by banging the savel.
 It was the vote of the Buffalo delegation which was sold for the increased budget, that prevailed
 Salary increases are allowed in the budget for Frank S. Burzynski union from s10oO 10 $500 and Dr. Leon s. kurek or Buffalo. national medical examiner for the union from s900 to S25oo The budget also allows for s750 daily travelling expenses for officers instead Of 5 as at present.

Chicago Babies Traded Once More;
 Enraged Watkins Threatens to Sue

Chicago, Aug. 20 (UP)-The fla nous Watkins -Bam berger baby mixup case became more involved than ever today as William Watkins greeted with loud threats of law suits his wife's action in trading children without his consent.
 Mir. and Mrs. Charles Bamberger called at the Watkins home last eve ming, traded babies with Mrs. Wat kins, waited while and left before Watkins got home from a 16-inning baseball game.
 II wouldn't have allowed it had l been home,' declared the man who few weeks ago was so anxious 10 make the trade. How do I know which baby is ours and which be- longs to the Bam bergerse That question was 10 be decided in the courts.
 I'll probably sue the Bambergers and everybody else who had any thing to do with this"
 Sons were born 10 Mrs. Watkins and Mrs. Bamberger on June 80 in Enslewood hospital. Ten days later, the parents discovered evidence that their offsprings had been switched. On the back of the baby taken home by Mrs. Bamberger was found a strip of adhesive tape on which was written Watkins"
 Drop Case
  that the infants should be examined. Eleven famous scientists made every known test and agreed with them. Then the parents decided to drop the whole thing and keep the babies they had.
 Statements made by the four par ents today were:
 Mrs. Bamberger-"Everything is lovely"
 Mir. Samberger-"We're satisfied"
 Mrs Watkins-"I feel terrible about 1t all"
 Mir, WatkIns-"Il Sue"
 Baptized Differently
 The most troublesome angle of the entire case appeared 10 be the fact that the children had been bap- tized in. different churches. The Bambergers took the baby who now is in the Watkins home to the Cath ollie church and had him christened Charles Edward Bamberger The other child was christened Charles Evans Watkins by a Presbyterian minister.
 Oh, that's easy Bamberger said when reminded Of that angle. Wen just let the clergymen straighten It out"
 The latest development in the ia nous case presents a direct reversal of policy by both fathers. Watkins had wanted 10 trade, but Bamberger announced he had pur- chased gun and was prepared 10 defend his child against the Watkins

FLYING PROBLEM
SOLVED BY DEVICE
Volume Control for Visual
Radio Range Beacons
Is Developed.

Development Of an automatic volume
control for visual radio range beacons
which relieves the pilot Of the necessity
Of continual radio tuning at a time
when every attention is needed for the
safe landing of his plane was announced
today by the AeronauticS Branch OF
the Department of Commerce.
The necessity for volume control in
receiving of the radio beacon signals, 1t
was pointed out, may be realized when
1t is known that in the course of q
flight between radio beacon stations the
signal intensity varies In the order OF
S,00o to !.
Troubled by Variation.
This wide variation has proved trou-
blesome to pilots, who have had to make
adjustments by hand for the rapid
Change of signal strength to keep the
signal from becoming uncomfortably
loud in the aural type beacon system or
to keep the reed vibration within bounds
in the visual type.
The pilots have been kept busy max
inf continual adjustments for volume
as they approached the home airport,
when they should have been able to
concentrate every effort on the problem
of landing, especially in thick weather.
when the radio beacon would be most
needed.
Efficiency Demonstrated.
the automatic volume control is con-
tanned in a compact unit less than six
inches long, which relieves the pilot OF
all volume control adjustment. The de-
vice has been in continuous use on the
Department of Commerce experimental
airplane for several months, It was an
nounced, and has demonstrated its con-
venience and efficiency in several ways
In addition to keeping the volume
within useful range, it has made 1t
possible for the pilot to determine with
reasonable accuracy his distance from
the radio range beacon station, and has
been especially useful n connection with
the use of the runway localizing beacon

the Department of Commerce for land
ing through fogs which shut out all view

Just previous to the election Of

adoption of II resolutions designed
by a committee, headed by w. T.
Webb, for the solution of problems
confronting the stock industry of
Arizona. Highlighting the lengthy
list of resolutions were a recon-
mendation that the proposed BOX
bill, providing a quota on the entry
of labor to this country from Mex
leo, be opposed; that the proposed
action of the United States govern
ment in deciding to the state GER
tain lands, now in the public do
main, be made to include mineral
and other properties, in addition to
grazing lands; and that the utmost
effort be made by the association
to the end that what now are term
ed high traffic rates be adjusted.
The highlights Of the speakers
program Wednesday were furnished
oy E. A. Hughes, a members of the
state tax commission and Charles
8. Blaine, traffic attorney for the

citation.
Hughes commenced by relating
the troubles encountered by those
delegated to do the tax collecting
for the state, paying especial at
tention to what he called the can
nual tax lodging contest" indulged
in by numerous citizens. He then
cited the fact that while cattle last
year were assessed at valuation
of $18 a head, there was fore
cast for 1880 an assessment based
on valuation Of $40 head. This
statement didn't appreciably warm
the hearts of the delegates to the
tax commission representative, but
he capped this statement that dur
ing 1929 there had been shipped
