FOE Of R|TCHIE
GETS BIC job

ANNAPOLIS, March 2.-Sena-
tor David G. Mcintosh, jr., of
Baltimore, opponent of Governor
Richie for the Democratic nOmi-
nation for governor at the last
primary, has been named spOkes-
man for the executive in the
senate.
Senator Mcintosh withdrew
from the race when he was UNI
able to muster enough support,
and issued a statement assailing
the governor for his dominance
of the party.
AS a result of this he found
himself still in the senate but
without a single committee chair
manship. With the injury of
Senator Lonsdale SasScer, who
was thrown from his horse several
days ago, Senator Mcintosh was
named to his post as head vi the
finance committee and made
floor leader and spokesman for
the governor.

after an absence of % years, was
faced today in his courtroom by
the living Edward Campbell, g.
years old. brother and heir to the
late Daniel H. Campbell, of New

Judge Slater. credited news

the missing brother who today
was benefited by an order COM
handing the county treasurer to
turn over to him about $4,000
as his share of his brother
estate.
On the strength of the finding
of Edward, Judge Slater also re-
fused a request to declare an
other brother, William Campbell,

itinerant plumber, has been miss
ing for about the same time as
Edward, and received an equal

NERVES FOUND
FOR PLANES

NEW YORK, March 2.-The
development of artificial nerves"
registering the amount of air
pressure on the surface of air
plane wings, which is said TO
promise a most simple solution OF
highly important problems in
aeronauticS, was announced by
DR.. Merit Scott, of Cornell Uni
Versity, at the joint meeting of
the Optical Society of America
and the American Physical So
ciety, held at Columbia Univer-
sity.
The nerves consist of thin
strips of fabric stretched tightly
upon the particular part of wing
surface on which the air pres
sure is to be determined. The
fabric is selected for its rapid
conductivity of heat. The harder
the wind blows the more rapidly
it turns cold. Sensitive inStru,
mentS register this heat change
with great accuracy thus the
wind pressure is determined. Dr.
Scott explained:
This offers an entirely new
view. Into the conditions of
flow, which, as you know, can
not at the present time be de-
termined by direct theoretical
considerations. 1 am quite en-
thusiastic about the application
of this method as a means of
studying the flew about aerOdy-
manic forms, airfOilS, etc, for
1 feel that there are many new
things in store for us that can
not fail to yield practical
value"

PUBLIC SCORNS
SHADY PLAYS

HOLLYWOOD, Calf. March 2
GNSD.-The theatrical public
has come to act as its own cen
sor. Productions with shady back
grounds and questionable dialogue
are no longer favored by theater
audiences. This opinion was ex-
pressed by C. Graham Baker,
Hollywood film executive.
Baker recently returned from
an eastern tour on which he
studied the theatrical trend. Box
office reports revealed that a dis
gusted public had turned thumbs
down on indecent plays, he said.
The production with an i'm
moral title is being Stunned by
the drama lover, while indecent
offerings camouflaged with re-
Spectful titles are doomed as soon
as the audiences discover they are
degrading, h. said.

Senator Capper AYERS that

Of what has been tranSpiring in
the domestic oil industry. A con-
servation program, alleged to be
in the interest of the nation in
event of an emergency, actually
aids three big oil groups as dis.
tinguished from the independents
The Kansan says that oil con-
servation has benefited.
THE Royal Dutch Shell Com
pany, the Standard Oil Com
panieS, the Gulf (MellOn-0wnedj
Oil Company, and their kind.
They almost have a mOnOp-
oily of our oil reserves. We
face the fact that unless some
thing is done, and done in the
near future, to protect the
small independent oil produc-
erS, the entire petroleum bust
ness in this country will be
held by a few people; it will be
in the hands of a half dozen
concerns: most of it controlled
by three or four big com
= panies."
Senator Capper says he is in
formed that even today three big
oil groups control so per cent Of
the petroleum production in this
country, and also that these same
big groups control about 80 per
cent of the refining, transporta-
ton and sale of gasoline and
other petroleum products.
It is easy to estimate. Capper
says, what will happen when
these companies control practi-
'cally all production as we'll as
refining and retail distribution.
These controlling companies in
recent years, Senator Capper
says:
Have hammered down the
price of crude Oil more than
half and held the price of gasO-
line to you and 1 and our
neighbOrs up where it was
when crude oil was selling at
more than twice what its costs
them today. Three big
Oil groups control these foreign
