Clara Bows Role.

Studio Officials Emphat-

Career Is to Be Ended.

BY the Associated Press.
HOLLYWOOD, Calf, May 6.-For the
second time this year, illness has kept
Clara Bow. screen fapper, out of the
leading role in a movie production.
The red-headed Clara was confined
to . Glendale, Calf, Sanitarium today
for treatment of q nervous breakdown.
Meanwhile. Peggy Shannon, also red
headed, who just q week ago arrived
in Hollywood from the New York stage,
was rehearsing before a critical director
the part Miss Bow was to have played
in The Secret Call"
OhiciaIs Quash Rumor.
The rumor, first voiced by Daisy De
Doe, former secretary of Miss Bow.
that "one more slam in the papers
would finish Clara in pictures" was
quashed by Paramount-Publix oficials
as soon as it appeared at word Of the
substitution yesterday.
Daisy started the report several
months ago while she was being tried
on charges Of stealing from Miss Bow
Before Miss De Boe'S conviction, Miss
Bow was taken Ill and Sylvia Sidney,
from Broadway, replaced her in a Aim.
Miss Sidney now is a star In her own
right.
Miss Bows two physicians laid her
breakdown at the door of hard work
and worry-worry over the De Doe trial
and the recent arrest of Fred Girnau,
tabloid publisher, on Federal charges of
sending obscene articles through the
mails. The charges were based on
stories in Girnau'S paper purporting to
reveal incidents in the life Of the
actress.
Long Rest Imperative.
Physicians said long rest was i'm
perative, but expressed no great alarm
at Miss Bows condition. Six months,
they said, might elapse before she could
resume her work.
Studio ofncials said empha tically Miss
Bows illness would not end her career
as an actress. Miss Bow has two more
pictures 10 make before another option
on her services can be exercised, ac-
cording to her contract. The studio
men said that whether the option would
be exercised depended entirely upon the
success of her next two pictures. They
termed the withdrawal of the actress
from 1.-THE Secret Call" which was
about to go into production, a neces-
Sary economy.

Various types OF unemployment in
surance, nearly all on q basis of con-
tribution TO the fund by both employer
and employe. are in vogue in many
American corporations, Is are old age
pensions, based on years Of service. The
unemployment insurance plans are Of
a wide variety, and have been changed
from time to time In certain corpora
tions as experience develops better
methods.
Briefly stated, the pronounced trend
In business is toward sterilization of
employment by private initiative, and
the movement has made great gains.
That absolute sterilization viSioned by
advocates Of political action, of course,
is not considered possible nor even de.
sirable.
For example, the effect of changing
fashions on markets is proverbial. How,
the individualists ask, could the cor
rect industry, once . large one, have
been stabilized by Government? How
could the Government or any other
agency stabilize at q definite level the
new business of operating Tom Thumb

lives, or give a pension 10 the Tom
Thumb golf course operator when fash

FASTEST TRANSPORT
PLANE COMPLETED
Army Air Corps Provided With
Craft Capable of Speed of
205 Miles Per Hour.

DAYTON Ohio (P).-A bullet-nosed
monoplane, said to be the fastest trans
port ship in the world, has been COM
pleted for the Army Air Corps.
Built by the Detroit Aircraft Corpora
ton, it has been timed in flight at 2O5
miles an hour, though official figures
will be determined in tests here at
Wright Field by Army pilots.
With places for pilot and passenger,
fuel tanks occupy most of the cabin,
with a gasoline supply claimed to be
sufficient for 2,800-mile flight and
placing practically any military base
in the United States or possessions in
reach from a central point within 10
hours without stop.
The basic design is that of standard
Lockheed planes, similar to the one
owned by Col Charles A. Lindbergh,
but differing from it in being a high
wing cabin model instead of low-wing,
open cockpit ship.
It has new type landing gear which
does away with all but two exposed
struts, streamlined tail wheel, pants"
on the landing wheels, new motor ac-
ceSsories, including a 10-to-l super
charger, and changes in the coWling
covering the single air-cooled motor.
The circular fuselage tapers at the
tail to a point so that the ship, minus
its wings and landing gear, resembles
monster torpedo pulled along by the
motor in its nose.
Designed for transporting personnel
and military supplies, the ship is not
equipped with machine guns or other
armament, but would depend upon pur-
suit planes for protection in combat
zones

new DRIVE STARTED
TO FREE PHILIPPINES
Roxas' Manifesto Suggests Revo-
luton, but Americans Doubt
He Desires One.

MANILA (4).-Manuel Roxas, speaker
OF the Islands House of representatives,
has launched a new organization de-
voted to Philippine independence.
His manifesto suggests revolution but
stops just short of coming out for it.
Instead it emphasizes the immediate
need for a nationaliStic feeling that
would unite the entire archipelago into
a single, driving political source.
Hitherto the independence campaigns
have been confined largely to the Tag
alog politicians. The new organization
aims to bring all elements into the
movement. from the Mohammedans of
the south to the hill tribes in the noun
tains.
The organization is the Bagong Kati-
punan, also known as 1.-The New Kati-
punan," and therein lies it's note of
menace.
"Katipunan" is the Tagalog word for
Association" and the only other "kati-
punan" mentioned here was one which
played a big role in the 1896 uprising
against Spain.
But most Americans in Manila decry
this aspect of the situation. They say
that RoxaS has adopted the name as a
catchword and that at heart he is the
last person in the islands to desire q
real revolution.
Iney regard 1t all as move OF RoXaS
70 bolster his political standing and to
provide funds for campaign junkets by
offering membership at so much a head.
1t Is recognized fact that the tao.
or Filipino peasant, has always been
enthusiastic for independence so long
as 1t costs him nothing. 1t remains
Tor Roxas to demonstrate that he can be
: converted into patriot who will say
it with pesos.
Roxas' own version of the lineup is
different. He came back from the
United States last Summer convinced
that Independence could be won If it
could be shown that not merely the
politicians but the entire Filipino peo-
pie wanted It.
He is trying to prove that this desire
exists
Sponsored by man so high in poll
tics as Roxas, the scheme has started
auspiciously and only a little criticism
has been heard.

WIDER TRADE BASIS
City DiverSifies Industry to
Assure Better Economic
Balance.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, February EFF
forts to diversity industry in this city
of iron and steel in order to secure
economic balance in time of depression
marked Pittsburgh's industrial trend in
the last decade.
This trend, becoming more pro-
nounced in the last few years, is en-
phasized by the wide variety of new
products manufactured here annually.
During the last year alone 81 new man
ufacturing plants and warehouses, rep
resenting an aggregate property invest
ment of $29,502,0 900, began operations
in the Pittsburgh district, while 5 more
plants were under construction. From
them are to flow such diverse products
as asphalt, automobiles, cable Access
sorieS, cement, plaster, dies, ground Stag,
industrial furnaces, non-ferrous metals,
oil, gasoline, pipe, structural steel and
electric power.
River Traffic Helpful
Canaiization of the Ohio River begun
so years ago by the Federal Govern
ment and completed in 1929, opened to
Pittsburgh industry great avenue To
the Great Lakes and Gulf of Mexico
ports.
Pittsburgh in 10 years gained 81 ,474
persons to become a city of 669,817 in
1880. but in that time suburban COM
munities. profiting by migrationS
showed population gains as high as 500
per cent. Opening of the $6,000,000
Liberty vehicular tunnels, mile and a
quarter long through the rocky hillside
overlooking downtown Pittsburgh, in
spired the movement.
In 1929, metropolitan plan move
ment. which would have given Pitts
burgh a population of nearly 100000
and fifth place in the list of American
cities, was defeated.
The trend toward home building in
the Pittsburgh district has been most
pronounced in the last six years, -the
residents spending SITS, 418,654 for new
dwellings.
Civic Center Develops.
In the same time the Oakland dis
trict in the eastern section of the city
developed into Pittsburgh's civic CEN
ter. its nucleus being the University of
Pittsburgh and Carnegie Institute of
Technology. the Carnegie Museum
Schenlev Park. Forbes Field and the
University of Pittsburgh's massive foot
ball stadium. The $4,000 600 "Cathe-
dral of Learning" newest unit of the
University of Pittsburgh. is slowly
crawling skyward and will be COM
pleted next year.
While there was some movement of
business firms out of the district,
Pittsburghs Golden Triangle" whose
apex is the junction of the Allegheny
and Monongahela Rivers, where the
Ohio begins. grew steadily. In 1880 the
assessed valuation for the 1.074 acres
in the triangle was $377, 403 800.
