rowly escaped death in a shoot
ing affray May 20, and who died
in Sibley Hospital June /, was

GOVERNORS EYE
PRESIDENCY

FRENCH LICK SPRINGS, Ind,
June 4 GN.SD.-The annual con-
ference of State governors, which
broke up today, served to put the
Presidential candidates. of three
men in bold relief against the
1882 political picture.
For the Democratic nomina-
ton next year. both Gov. Frank
lin D. Roosevelt of New York and
Gov. Albert c. Ritchie of Mary,
land made politically important
contacts with their fellow COVER
norS.
Pinchot Enters Ring
On the Republican side, Gov.
Clifford PinchOt of Pennsylvania
left little doubt that he is to be
considered rival for the nomina,
ton which most politicians, IRE.
spective of party, believe PreSi-
dent Hoover cannot be denied.
Nevertheless, and with his usual
disdain for odds, the Pennsyl.
vanian threw his hat into the
ring on the power issue.
Roosevelt Is Leading
A poll of the Democratic gov,
ernors revealed a variety of
opinion, although the consensus
was that Governor Roosevelt at
this time, IL months in advance
of the convention, is leading the
race.
An Illuminating development of
the conference was that both
Governor Roosevelt and Governor
Ritchie made it clear they con.
slider economic issues will over.
shadow oil else in the 1882 cam
paign.
Governor Ritchie, a pioneer in
the anti-prohibitiOn movement,
declared that unemployment and
the economic situation "means
far more to the people than all
the subjects we possibly could
discuss" Inferentially, that meant
prohibition, too, although the
Maryland governor has consist
emily refused to minimize that
issue.

SUB ANCHORS
NEAR CAPE COD

PROVINCETOWN, Mass, June
4 GN.SO The submarine Maui
titus, in which Sir Hubert Will
kins and his expedition will at,
tempt to reach the North Pole,
rode at anchor today off this old
fishing port, having made a sue
cessful and uneventful overnight
run from New London, Conn.
Submerged test runs off the tip
of Cape Cod were planned by Sir
Hubert, preparatory to starting
across the Atlantic to London.
The submersible was conveyed
here by Coast Guard patrol boats.
The Nautilus came to anchor
some distance out in the harbor,
under the sheltering arm of the
cape, and was the objective Of
pleasure craft from the town

The Washington times., 1931-06-04

augurate any considerable move
ment toward normal volume
of industrial activity, it would
be necessary to provide for a
program of public works cost
ing upwards of $5,OOO,O0O,OOO
Suppose that the expenditure of
this sum on public buildings,
roads, navigation, flood control,
refOreStatiOn, elimination of
railway grade crossings and
other legitimate public enter
prises, required two years; sup
pose that One-half went for
wages and One-half for mater
ialS and suppose that the aver
age wage was S1,25O per year.
"On these SuppOSitiOnS, 1,0OO,.
900 persons would obtain en-
plOyment for two years, while a
considerably greater number
would be required to produce
the goods and the materials
necessary to supply the demand
evoked through the initial out
lay for labor and materials.
The beneficent and far-reach-
ing effects of the original ex-
penditure upon employment
can be roughly estimated on the
assumption that One-haIf of
every dollar directly or in.
directly added to the purchas-
ing power of the community is
paid out for wages.
Bond Issue Proposed
incidentally, the effect upon
the public mind, particularly
the business mind, would be
tremendous. In SO far as fear
is a factor in prOlOnging the
depression and preventing re-
cOvery, its influence would be
totally eliminated.
"HOw shall a S5,OOO,OOO,OOO
program of public works be
financed? Obviously through
a bond issue. Money is now
so plentiful that $4,000 600, 600
of Federal bonds, paying not
more than 3 or 319 per cent
interest, could probably be mar
keted within so days. OF
course, the sale would be spread
over longer period, inasmuch
as the proceeds would not all
be needed at once. A subStan.
tial part of the amount might
not be needed at ALL"

KNAPP LINKED
/. IN NEW DEATH

NEW YORK, June 4 GN.SO.
Efforts to connect Philip Knox
Knapp, the thrill" slayer, with
the murder in 1923 of Hugh Nc
Loon, former mascot of the Phila-
delphia Athletics, we're made by
Philadelphia authorities today.
Philadelphia authorities claim
that Knapp, posing as d Federal
narcotic agent, informed city
magistrate that he was in Nc
looms cafe in Philadelphia at the
time the mascot was shot down
by three men riding in an auto
mobile, and that he, Knapp. could
identify the killers.
A checkup of Knapp's record
in the Coast Guard service under
the name of Phillips" is to be
made to ascertain whether he
was in Philadelphia at the time
of the McLoon murder.
State alienists also are to
examine Knapp in a move to
forestall an expected insanity de-
fense in connection with the
murder Of Louis PAMELA, Hemp
stead, L. l., taxi driver, which he
has confessed. District Attorney
Elvin N. Edwards, of Nassau
county, explained that Knapp, in
his confession, spoke of having
suffered a fractured skull several
years ago.

BRIDGE DEATHS

PARIS, June 4 GN.S0.--An
official inquiry was opened to-
day into the cause of the collapse
of a new suspension bridge at ST..
Denis De Pile in which IS per-
sons were killed and 81 injured.
The span collapsed when 10
trucks loaded with sand passed
over it on it's first test. The sus-
pension cables were unable to
stand the strain and broke in two
places, throwing the men and
trucks into the River DOrdOgne.
Among those killed was the son
of the builder of the bridge.
Others included engineers making
the test, as we'll as the drivers
of the trucks.

AIR LEV|ATH Han s
LUCK TAINTED

The great Leviathan of the air,
the DO-X, which today made a
forced landing on the Atlantic
has been ill-fated ever since the
start of the projected transatlan-
tic light, having been forced
down on a number of occasions.
The ship is the mightiest
heavier-than-air craft ever built,
and was successful in its initial
tests when it made a number of
flights with 159 passengers and
10 members in the crew.
Can Garry 800
The huge craft can accOmmo-
date 800 passengers on short
flights, and is powered with IL
CurtiSs COnquerOr motors, giving
a total of 1900 horsepower. Prior
to the installation of the Ameri.
can engines, the great plane car.
ried IL German motors that gave
s. only 5000 horsepower.
These great motors use almost
a ton of gasoline an hour, and
have a cruising speed of lis miles
an hour. While the IL motors
are used to make the start and
get flying speed, it is possible to
fly the great craft with only
eight of the IL, giving the others
q chance to cool off and have
mechanics look them over.
74-FOot Corridor
The huge plane, which weighs
IS tons loaded, is 33 feet high
and 152 feet long and has wing
spread of 165 feet.
The motors, mounted in tan
dem, are high above the main
wing of the great ship, and are
connected with small auxiliary
wing, designed to give more
strength and greater stability on
the water.
The huge flying boat has &C
commodations suitable for a
transatlantic liner. There is a
74-foot corridor along the pas
senger deck for those who wish
their constitutional.
Has Fine Bar
There is a well-equipped bar, as
well as stewards pantry, buffet,
complete kitchen and dining ar
rangementS. There is also a
smoking room, and sleeping ac-
comOdatiOnS for 40 persons as
against only 20 on the great Graf
Zeppelin. The passengers rooms
compare favOrably with rooms on
great liners.
The plane was equipped with
every possible safety device, in
cluding wireless, gyro compasses,
life boats and RATS.

Hearst:s Plan to Restore Prosperity
Wins Wide Endorsement Here

Official Washington, manifest
ing keen interest, for the most
part indorsed today the Wig
orous program proposed by Will
liam Randolph Hearst for reStora-
ton of prosperity to this nation.
Even among those who found
exception to his views, there was
a feeling that the publisher rem
dered public service in pointing
to the need for decisive Govern
ment aid in relieving the present
economic situation.
Public Works Program
A cardinal feature of Mr..
Hearst'S plan, which he outlined
in radio address Tuesday night
was his suggestion that the Gov
ernment embark Immediately on
a $5,000.0 100000 public works pro-
gram. This, he said, would revive
buying power and thus reflect
prosperity on all industries.
Mr.. Hearst also advocated
Government manufacture an d
control of alcoholic beverages, the
investment of American capital
in the United States, and larger
share of the fruits of industry for
labor.
His program was studied in
tently not only by high public
officials, but also by leaders in
the field of economics, labor and
sociology.
Several prominent members of
Congress gave their unqualified
approval to Mr.. Hearst's declara-
ton that an enlarged public
works program is the key to
business revival. These included
Representatives Britten RO, of
Illinois, Cochran D0, of Mis-
souri,, and Dickstein CD, of New
York.
Backed By DIR. Ryan
DR.. John A. Ryan, of Catholic
University, one of the leading
economists of the country, said
he saw no other way out of the
depression except as Mr.. Hearst
suggested.
In suggesting remedies, Father
Ryan said in a recent speech at
Cleveland:

tive impression upon our pres
ent unemployment and to in

ton to the Republican National Com
mittee to hold the convention in Phila-

Washington grows out Of an organized
movement to get the convention, which

Senator Reed yesterday sent the fol-
lowing telegram to Senator Fess:
II heartily indorse the movement
originating in Philadelphia. supported
by public officials and public opinion
there, to have the next Republican Ma
tional Convention held in that city.
Every possible facility required to make
the convention success will be pro-
vided by those sponsoring this pro-
posal."
1t is expected the delegation which
