i. s. FROZEN FOOD
INDUSTRY GROWING
New Giant in American Bust
ness Seen-ProspeCts
Are Discussed.
BY J. R. BRACKET,


NEW YORK, April 1s.-He's got q
lot of growing to do, but it looks as If
there were to be another giant in
American industry-Mr. Frozen Foods,
with a sales potential of one billion
dollars.
Colby NJ. Chester, jr., president of
General Foods Corporation, said that a
recently perfected method for quick
freezing perishable foods at so degrees
below zero has been proved practicable
in a l2-month test campaign. The
billion-dollar estimate is Colby's.
Outlets Increased.
Heretofore, outlets for the products
had been confined to 10 stores In Massa-
| chusetts, but now 300 stores in six East
ern States have them available, and
plans are being pushed for expansion
into the Middle West.
Mr.. Colby believes this new movement
in the food field will create employ
ment for thousands of persons In various
activities connected with the produc-
| ton and marketing of quick-frozen
| foods. He expects 1t to stimulate
activity in other industries, including
manufacturing of mechanical refrigera-
: ton equipment, insulating material, new
I types of motor trucks and other means
| of transportation.
The new process, Mr.. Colby explain
ed freezes perishable foods, including
meats, sea foods, vegetables and fruits
so quickly that chemical or organic
change cannot take place. Foods so
frozen can be retailed in small cartons
from a refrigerated cabinet just as
breakfast foods now are sold. The car
tons would be kept in refrigerated dis
play cabinets in food stores.
Mr.. Chester estimated that 100, 900
outlets would be handling the new food
products in a few years, and on this
basis retail sales would reach more
than 81 100000 a year-as well as
give new business to other industries.
Among the developments Of the proc
| ess will be its ability to absorb quickly
| tremendous quantities of perishable
| foods at so-called glut seasons and to
keep them for months in a frozen
| state. This, Mr. Colby believes, will
tend to stabilize market prices for
vegetable and fruit growers.
Meat-Packing Industry.
The greatest immediate possibility,
Mr.. Colby foresees, is in the meat
| packing industry Some of the econo-
| mics effected will be the removal of all
waste material at the packing plant,
| where 1t can be disposed of more
profitably than when returned by re-
tailers to rendering plants.
THE Standardization factor" he said,
lis one of the chief advantages of the new
process. BY carefully grading meat
cuts and putting them up in cartons
it has become possible to offer meat
cuts of the same unvarying quality as
packsged, branded grocery staples on
sale in every good store"
1t will also reduce prices for fruits
and vegetables out OF season, he says.
Clarence Birdseye, a Massachusetts
scientist, inventor of a widely-used
process, conceived the idea while living

AIRPLANE PRODUCTION.

In Labrador. He noticed that foods
frozen quickly enough did not lose their
favor. and determined to apply the
idea commercially.
Heretofore, major diff1culty in quick
freezing has been the formation of ice
crystals which pierces the cell walls of
the food, allowing the flavor juices and
essences to escape. BY freezing them
at so below zero these crystals are not
formed, it is held.

LAVAL SOUNDS WARNING.

verse" He Says in Radio Talk.

PARIS, october Is CP).-The inter-
ests of nations are so closely inter-
twined that no country can be pro-
tected from dangers that menace others,
Premier Pierre Laval told an interna-
tional radio audience last night. on the
eve of his departure to talk world al
fairs with President Hoover in Wash
ington.
In our epoch it is impossible to re-
gard isolation as sufficient preventive
remedy" he asserted.
M. Laval spoke with carefully meas
ured phrases as he stood before talkle
machines and the microphones that
started his voice across the Atlantic to
American radio listeners.
"A severe crisis has disrupted the
world and the governments have made
efforts which, up to now, have proved
insufficient to put an end to the evil,
he said.
Asserting that France has remained
sound, he accounted for this privileged
position by work and thrift" He re-
ferred to the recent conversations among
statesmen at Paris, London and Berlin
and declared that, while safeguarding
our essential interests, we have taken
our part in that international collabora-
ton, which is more than ever neces.
sary"
The premier reiterated his warning
against expecting too much from the
conversations between himself and Mr..
Hoover. 1T would be too much to ex-
pect from them final solution he
said.
In our days in Washington We shall
not settle the affairs Of the universe"

BRUEN|NG CABINET
CONFIDENCE VOTED
Reichstag Sustains Govern
ment and Defeats Commu-
mist Attack on Groener.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, October is. - Chancellor
Heinrich Bruening's cabinet was sus-
tanned this evening on a vote Of conf
dence in the Reichstag. The vote was
announced as 295 to 27O.
A motion of lack of confidence in
Gen. Wilhelm Groener, head Of the
military and police as minister Of de-
tense and minister of the interior, was
introduced by the Communists, but
was defeated by a vote Of 321 to 233,
with Is abstentions.
A similar motion directed against
Minister Of Agriculture Schiele also
was rejected.
Repulses Hitler Threat.
Thus, by a margin of 25 votes the
chancellor turned back once again the
threat of Adolf Hitler's National
Socialists, who had combined this time
with the Nationalist party, headed by
Alfred Hugenberg.
These two, who have been the gov
ernments most bitter enemies since it
recent overturn in the Bruening cabinet
and recently at a joint meeting in
Hamburg served notice of their inten-
ton to turn the chancellor out Of Office
If they could.
When the Reichstag convened this
morning the government was sure OF
243 votes, and thought it could pick up
enough from the smaller parties to give
it margin of at least one ballot.
Then the Economic party announced
that it would swing its support to the
chancellor.
When the vote was taken there were
three abstentions.
Excitement Follows Vote.
There was great excitement as the
government received greater majority
on the vote of confidence than even its
friends had hoped for.
The vote followed a final appeal to
the Reichstag not to change horses In
midstream.
The Economy party. with its 20 votes
saved the day for the chancellor, who
received the verdict with his usual
sphinxlike calm, while Hermann Diet
rich, minister of finance. and Gen
Groener smiled.
A few minutes later the Reichstae
defeated q Communist motion for disso-
luton by a vote of 800 to 252.
Then the Assembly turned down a
motion by the combined Nationalist
and National Socialists demanding that
the governments emergency economy
DEGREES be reScinded.
With that, both the opposition par
ties left the Reichstag in body. assert
ing that they no longer had any inter-
est in anything it might do.
They did that once before, walking
out last February and threatening tc
set up a rump Parliament. The threat
came to nothing, the government issued
the first of its series Of stringent econ
omy measures, and when this Reichstae
reconvened Hitler's men were back
again.
The eve of the vital vote was marked
by Communist demonstrations in which
a policeman and five radicals were
wounded by gunflre. Thirty persons
were arrested in street-corner battle:
with the police before order was re-
stored.

FATHER REACHES SON
AS PLANE TURNS BACK
Child's Life Probably Saved by
Passengers willingness to Sac.

LOS ANGELES, October l6.-Two-
year-old Allen Taplin last night was
given a blood TRANSMISSION from his
fathers veins that probably will save
his life because passengers on a trans
port airplane sacrificed their own in
terests to those of the boy.
Philip Taplin received a message at
Las Vegas, New, that his son was in
the Children's Hospital at Los Angeles,
$50 mile away, desperately i'll, with
physicians calling for some OF the
fathers blood to save his life. Only
blood from the father, the physicians
said. was suitable.
The telegram was too late. The IA
Their missed the Salt Lake City-Los An
geles airplane by 10 minutes.
Las Vegas Airport officials wired the
United Airport in Los Angeles. The
United Airport sent a wireless to the
airplane, by that time half way to Los
Angeles, asking If the passengers were
willing to turn back. The passengers
unanimously agreed.
So Taplin arrived to hear his sons
weak call of daddy from the hospital
bed, and the TRANSMISSION was at once
performed. The doctors said Allen had
every chance to recover.
