Chicago, July 30.-UP) Al phonse (Scarface AID Capone is through with the rackets and is determined Ito become an honest man." he told the United Press to- day while awaiting sentence to Leavenworth prison.
 When I say I'm through I mean I'm through am burning my bridges behind me-" Capone de- clared before entering Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson's court. There he is to receive sentence on pleas of guilty of violating the pro- hibition laws 5000 times and fall ing to pay income tax on the mil- lions he admitted he has made H. legally.
 In the only authentic interview granted on the eve of his departure for prison, the contrite Capone said his greatest ambition was to raise his son to be a good citizen. He said he would be satisfied with any punishment the government de- creed, would ask no favors in prison, and would emerge deter mined to build up a bushes repu- tation of which his family could be proud.
 The interviewer found Capone in Ia dingy room of the Lexington ho- tel, an unpretentious, box-like structure on the edge of Chicago's famous "Black Belt"

CONCENTRATE
 SALES SHOW BIG INCREASE
Purchase of California Grape Beverages" Be-
 yOnd Expectations

San Francisco - (UP) - 1 Despite reported threats of Al Capone and protests of ardent prohibitionists, sales of grape con- centrates, a by-product of Cali fornia wine grapes sold for making grape beverages" in the home, are increasing tremendously and are far ahead of expectations, Donald Conn, managing director of a grape concentrate coopera- tive, said today.
 The concern, nationwide merger of similar firms now or- ganized as a growers cooperative, first started marketing concen- trates in Milwaukee two years ago. Despite warning of wine and beer selling gangsters not to enter Chi cago, merchandising in that and other cities of the east followed swiftly. Marketing in California was started this year.
 Attacked by Drys
 Attacked by prohibitionists for selling products which could be made into wine and at the same time borrowing from the Federal countered with the statement that it had never used the word wine, never referred to 1t and only sold a product designed for the manu- facture or grape beverages" in the home.
 A grape juice in the same form as when the grapes are crushed and blended for certain wine fla vors, constitutes the bulk of the sales, Conn said. Two new prod ucts sold in cans, forming a con- centrated syrup, were recently placed on the market and are rapidly gaining in favor, according to Conn. The syrup is diluted by the consumer to make his "bever- age"
 Just WhOlesaling
 Conn revealed that his concern now has given up the retail distri- button of the concentrates, find- ing it more profitable to act as wholesaler only, with the retailing done by drug stores, grocers and chain stores.
 The concern plans within the next three years to increase the sales until they will be profitable outlet for the entire surplus of California's $350,000,000 grape in- dustry.
 No figures were given showing the amount of concentrates now being marketed.

1t is cracked up to be-" the portly |gangster sighed.
 Capone, who weighs we'll over 200 pounds, admitted he was "nerv- ous" as prospect of several years in prison. Time after time he mopped his face and slightly bald head with a towel.
 I'm ready to take my medi- cine" he said. T realize that the charges were just. That's why pleaded guilty. The officials per- formed their duties honestly and efficiently. If the government thinks it can clean up Chicago by send ing me to jail well and good.
 But when come out, things will be different. I'll miss the worlds fair (and I always wanted to see one tool, but I'll be paying debt to society and when it's paid I'm coming out to start all over, raise my boy right and make my family proud of me. I'm ready to go now anytime. I'll pay my own way if 1t will get me there any quicker. The sooner in, the sooner out.
 "In prison I'll will have time to decide what I'm going to do after ward. It will be something con- nected with finances. Whatever it Is, you can bet 1t will be honest and legitimate. Ten years ago I came here from Brooklyn intend ing to make an honest living. If I didn't do it then, I will now"
 Capone, whose income from beer, liquor and vice had been estmiated in the millions of dollars and who has been accused of directing the murder of more than 300 in Chi cago liquor wars, denied he had done all the things of which he had been accused.
 The gangster said he positively would not accept any of the many offers he had received to write his history or sell ideas for gangdom moving pictures.

 "We attempted to locate Croy- don several times late yesterday" Panghorn said, "but it was so cloudy and foggy that we finally abandoned the effort"
 He said they flew above the fog Sometimes going up between 4,00O and 15,000 feet over the Atlantic. They said they saw the sea only once the whole way over, and that for an hour and a half one time they had to fly blind through heavy fog.
 In response to query as to whether they saw the Boardman- Polando plane, Panghorn said:
 No, I thought we sighted her once, but we were mistaken"
 The flyers were in hurry to re- fuel and continue on toward Mos- COW. They had breakfast in the pilots room at the airport.
 Herndon mad Pangborn slept sev- eral hours during the night at the Black Lion hotel in Cardigan. They arrived at the hotel without ad- vance arrangements and were not recognized by the woman at the desk when they entered.
 "We just flew over from Am erica" Pangborn said. Wed like a bed and something to eat"
 The woman thought they were joking with her and was embar- rassed when she was assured that the two were actually trans-Atlan- tic flyers. She hurried off at once to order a meal of Welsh ham and eggs.
 The flyers ate ravenously and then went to bed, taking an alarm clock with them. They first dis patched cables to friends and rela- tives in New York advising of their safe arrival, then turned in, leav- ing a call for 3:55 a. m.
 Pangborn said the plane was not damaged in making the landing on a rough field near Moylegrove at p. m. yesterday q p. m. E. $. ID 31 hours, AZ minutes after leaving Floyd Bonnet field, Brooklyn.
 The plane functioned perfectly all the way, the flyers said, but they decided to land when fog closed in on them at dusk last evening. A group of farm workers heard the motor drowning overhead and ran to see the transatlantic pilots their ship down out of the fog.
 The plane landed and Pangborn leaned out to shout:

Oth- CTS have been summoned from Va rious parts of the country to offer evidence to subStantiate the Fur mace company and the states charges that Irving in his capacity as manager was responsible for the alleged misappropriation of sums ranging from $45 to $35O. The local authorities have but slight acauaintance with the facts of the case, but it became apparent Tn making survey of acceptable judges that the company's interests are not only well represented throughout the state, but that Tn various ways an imposing array or legal talent has been more or less involved in it's affairs.
 When Judges McGrath and Meyer considered themselves disquallhed, an appeal was made to Judge Mc- Mfr. He eliminated himself from consideration. Judges William Ma lone and Joseph Donovan of Bris- tol also asked, but were obliged to  decline.
 Judge Edward J. Finn of Water bury was not available, being ab- sent from the city on a vacation. Invitations to others disclosed the fact that they were more or less interested in the case and not qualified. Judge Dunn's acceptance made it possible for the arrange ments to have the hearing take place tomorrow morning.
 Several months ago the com plaining company had two Of it's employees arrested and punished for the alleged theft of supplies. An investigation disclosed the fact that the company was being s.yin- dled by the loss of material. Echoes of this 4ncident are expected to be heard when Irving IS formally ar raigned.

 Joseph c. Gkew, the American ambassador, who had waited for the flyers since 3 a. m., was the first to greet them and shake their hands. The crowd closed in and the flyers were taken to the center of the airdrome, where they were given an ovation.
 The actual distance of their flight was estimated at 4,984 miles.
 The flyers emerged from the plane smiling modestly but de- lighted by their reception. They seemed a little dazed from their long hours in the air.
 Gkew presented them to the governor of Constantinople, Mu- heddin Bey, and other officials The governors spokesman, speak ing in English, said:

Appeal to All Mothers

New York, July CUP)-An appeal to "cvery mother in Ameri- ca" to demand that the federal government make q full and imme- diate investigation of underworld activities was made by Charles Francis Coe, author and criminol- ogist, in a radio address over the National Broadcasting company's network last night.
 Coe termed as incredible" the recent gang shooting in the Italian section of Harlem in which five children were wounded, one fatally and two others critically.
 He proposed that decent and in telilgent law enforcement be de- manded of the government in com munications from the people, which he pledged to present to Washing ton "in a manner which cannot be ignored"
 He suggested that every mother write to her representative in con- Sress protesting such q crime.
