Addressing the Virginia Bar As

Sulphur Springs, Virginia, the
other night, Gov. Albert c. Ritchie
of Maryland said that if business
does not do something about the
unemployment situation the Gov
ernment will. 81 suppose that
nothing has stirred the American
people more than the period of in

otherwise, with from six to eight
millions of men and women want
ing work and needing work, but
unable to get it.
The Carbon County news., 1931-08-13

The navy's general reaction to
the announcement that the United
States would build a nevy next to
none" was that although this was
a perfectly proper and pious hope,
it represented no more than has
been hoped for during the past
ten years and has no better chance
OF success. Budget estimates
which are being prepared for the
coming session cf Congress sup
port this discouragement in con-

NAVY WILL CONTROL
WARSH|P BY RADIO
Utah at Norfolk is Fitted With
Robot for Use as
Target.

Advancing another step in its experi-
ments with radio-controlled ships as
targets. the Navy will soon have the
23.7O0-ton battleship Utah maneuver-
ing over the waves to test the latest
in bombs, guns and fire control, at
the bidding Of some 1,200-ton de-
stroyer. Interest In this is heightened
by the recent failure of the Army air
men to bomb and sink the obsolete
freighter Mount Shasta.
At the Norfolk. Va, Navy Yard the
Utah is being fitted for remote control
by radio. Under this program, the
Navy Department said today, selective
signals viii be sent out by controlling
ship, using special keying system and
= regular radio transmitter.
Course to Be Regulated.
The former battleship'S course and
speed will be controlled through radio
receiver and automatic receiving equip
ment.
An officer on the destroyer will be
able to vary by wireless the rates OF
speed and smokescreens and other war
like maneuvers, so that the Utah may
initiate an enemy ship In battle, save
for offensive operations.
The department explained that the
controlling ships signals will open anc
close the throttle valve on the Utah
by electric motors. regulate the supply
OF oil to the boilers for Smokescreens
and operate the rudder. A metal
mike" like that in use on merchant
vessels will keep the Utah on set
course.
The officer of the controlling ship
may remain in sight Of the target to
observe the effect of bombs or gunf1re
curing maneuvers, the department
said, or he may be advised by radio
from an airplane observer.
Started in 1899.
Remote control by radio has inter-
ested the Navy for many years, as the
FIRST practical application was made 70
the old battleship Iowa in 1920, used as
a target of Panama in 1928, during
Winter nnanuevers of the United States
Fleet. The destroyer Stoddert last year
was equipped with radio control APP
paratus on the West Coast and aircraft
are using dummy bombs, while surface
vessels bring into play their guns, to as
certain the effect of artillery on the
ships construction. The destroyers
Kitty and Boggs also are to be fltted
out with radio control for artillery ex-
periments.

CITY PUMP co.
IS GENERATING
ITS OWN LIGHT
FarlS Firm ReVoItS at High
Bill and InStaIIS
Small Plant.

One means Of avoiding alleged
exorbitant electricity bills, which
along with other utility gouging has
resulted in citizens arising in re-
volt, was revealed today by the
Faris Pump and Manufacturing
Company, 1883 North Hillside ave-
nue..
Aroused by what it termed an
excessive bill from the Indianapolis
Power and Light Company, the
company ordered the meter taken
out and installed a small individual
generating plant of its own, accord
ing to Earl L. Faris, secretary and
manager Of the small manufactur-
ing and general machine office.
This plant, part of it purchased
secondhand and costing less than
500, with an estimated cost Of
about cents an hour to operate,
has made the company independent
of the demands of utility companies,
Faris said.
View by Others
Several other small factory own
ers have viewed the small general
ing plant in the few weeks it has
been operating, and are reported
to be contemplating similar steps.
Results Of this company's success
full experiment have added mo-
mentum to the rapidly growing
movement initiated by civic leaders
to demand and obtain relief from
utility rates based on wartime prices.
Decision to install the plant, &C
cording to Faris, came when light
ming melted the company's meter
during a storm last summer and the
damaged meter was not noticed I'M
til it was read several weeks later.
Bill Was Reduced
A new meter was installed and
the light company, on the basis Of
the next several weeks consumption,
estimated the consumption for a
period of two months and one week,
sending a bill of $52.58.
The company's light and power
bills in the last several years had
averaged from SO to $l4, Faris said,
with the highest bill in three years
being less than $40.
Appeals for correction of the bill
fell on deaf ears, Faris said, until
ne had arranged purchase of a
generator and gasoline motor. Then,
