DETROIT, Mich, Nov. 10. (UP)
Henry Ford foresees the coming
of real prosperity"-not "feverish,
speculative false prosperity, but
real prosperity such as you can
keep"
In his opinion, as expressed to
the United Press in an exclusive
interview, it will be such as ito
make all previous prosperity look
small"
He does not look for recovery"
but for something better, and he
hopes I'VE don't recover the old
system" with a bigger and better
panic in, say, 1870"
Incidentally, he expressed the
view that business men would be
better off if there were no tariffs
anywhere.
We have quit looking for Santa
Claus, he says.
We have quit waiting form iracles.
We are ready to go to work.
And we are making progress.
IF we quit waiting for miracles
w iioPPSii-dl tiilllh VIC lldNS
quit-that is a long step forward"
he told the United Press, IT am
sure we are making progress, and
progress is always painful. We are
all wiser men and women than We
were, and we are going to make
better use of the next decade. If
you want my opinion, 10 years
from now there will be much real
prosperity do not mean feverlsh,
speculative, false prosperity; bit
real prosperity such as you can
keep, such as to make all previous
prosperity look small"
This practical philosopher of the
machine age, who remade the face
of America with his low priced au-
tomobile, is wondering like many
others. He forced paved roads into
the backwoods of the nation. He
first demonstrated that high wages
makes good business. He ran the
machine age into high gear and
taught the world what mass pro-
duction could do.
Yet he has seen his world of 1929
come tumbling down in a chaos of
overproduction. Thousands of his
high paid workmen, the envy of
the labor world, have had to go
hand in hand to get food and

.DUNAEV PROVES
TO BE WARY ON
WITNESS STAND
Former Manager Of Girl
In Pantages Case Spars
With Attorney.

LOS ANGELES. Nov. 10. UP
A denial that he ever was in love
with Eunice Pringle, whose dance
act he once managed, was made to-
day by Nicholas Duneav at the re-
trial of Alexander Pantages, accused
OF assaulting Miss Pringle.
Called as a defense witness, Dun
aev testified reluctantly.
Have you ever been in love with
Miss Pringle?" Attorney Jerry Gels
Ter asked.
Never in my life," Duneav an
Swered.
Dunaev was a states witness at
PantageS first trial when the the
atre man was convicted of the
charge but he was not called by the
state in the retrial, made necessary
when the state supreme court de-
cided prejudicial errors were COM
mitted in the original trial.
One of the errors concerned the
refusal OF the court to permit the
defense to introduce evidence bear
ing on the character of Miss Prin-
gle and since the opening of the
retrial the defense has attempted
to show, mostly by intimation, that
the girl was indiscreet with DunaeY
The defense has tried to prove
that Miss Pringle attended late
night parties in Dunaevs apart
ment.
After Dunaev denied having ever
been in love with Miss Pringle, the
state asked him to explain letters
he received in January 1929 from
Seattle, Wash, from Mrs. Eunice
Pringle, aunt OF the complainant.
Didn't Mrs. Pringle, the girls
aunt, speak Of you and refer to
you as her nephew in letters she
wrote from Scatter" Geisler asked
in pursuing his attempt to show in
dications of previous love between
Dunaev and Miss Pringle.
A prosecution objection stopped
the answer Dunaev was going to
give but a letter was introduced in
to evidence marked only for identi-
fication.
Asked if he had received such a
letter as this one entered for ident-
ification only. Dunaev said: "I am
not responsible for things stolen
from me-"
Dunaev was asked if he visited
with Miss Pringle's aunt in Seattle
in December 1890.

DO you mean to deny that you
were up there?"
mot in 1890"
"Well, when were you visiting
there2"
you're asking me. I'm not tell
ing you"
The prosecution attempted to
stop this line Of questioning at this
point and Judge Tappaan promised
ruling on it later in the day.

while fleeing from federal agents

He was known to his companions
only as Louis" they said.
One companion, Mike Pyzyski

Pyzyski and his companion at
tempted to land n cargo Of beer and
ale at the foot of Goat Island, after

Federal agents awaited the rum

federal agents, they deserted their
boat and attempted to run into the
river. Py2yski returned when he saw
how near he was to the rapids.
Louis continued.
Patrolmen flashed lights on the
man, swimming desperately against
the strong current. They could not
follow him as he was carried rapidly
downstream.
When their flashlights last played
on Louis, he was not more than rs
feet from the brink of the falls.

increase would have to be on the
basis Of the 1924 law.
Smoot advocated q 40 per cent
maximum surtaX on incomes, and
a sales tax on automobiles, and
radios, as in that act.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10. U.P)-
Unpopularity of a tax increase has
sent many congressman hurrying
to the storm cellars until the adj
ministration announces its plan.
Some senator's high in Republican
councils believe the party may seal
its fate by advocacy of tax boost
no matter how necessary it may
appear.
These bitter-enders hope yet to
put the necessity off until after the
presidential elections. They want
to meet the treasury deficit mean
time by flotation of short term
bonds.
The tide appears to be against
them and some sort of an increase
appears certain before the spring
tax payments. President Hoover,
Secretary of Treasury Mellon, Sem
ators Smoot, Reed and Watson have
decided the increase is necessary.
Enough Democrats and Independ-
ent Republicans side with them to
assure action.
Chairman HaWley of the house
ways and means committee in the
old congress, who will be deprived
OF his position when the Democrats
organize the house, is one who yet
has hopes of avoiding tax revision
Congressman are disturbed about
taxing things like automobiles and
radios, which formerly were consid-
cred Injuries but now are virtual
necessities. They see no hope OF
avoiding it, however. Some plans
even go so far as to propose taxes
on suits of clothes which cost more
than $50.

FOUR INVOLVED
IN CONSPIRACY
TO FREE WRITER

OAKLAND, Cal, Nov 18. U.P)--
Ernest Booth, convict author of the
novel Stealing Through Lite" was
named today as the inspiration of a
plot to secure his release by falsi-
fled court records, for which four
persons are in custody here.
The writer's wife, Mrs Valverdie
Booth, was the last of the quartet
arrested after operatives of District
Attorney Earl Warren uncovered
evidence of alleged attempts to
forge commitment papers on file in
Alameda county courthouse.
Warren Mulvey and Lester Cor
don, both of San Francisco, and
Booths brother, Edward. were the
others held. Warren claimed Null
vey allegedly confessed he did it
for a pal" Mulvey and Booth were
fellow prisoners at San Quentin.
San Francisco police who
searched a room occupied by Null
vey and Condron declared they
found evidence indicating Clinton
Herold, forgery convict. also might
have benefited from forged docu-
ments.
The Booth papers had been
altered to make it appear he was
not convicted on specified form of
robbery, as required by statutes, the
prosecutor charged. Warren said it
would have been a simple matter
for Booth to sue his release or
habeas corpus proceedings on the
ground he was not properly con-
victed.

San Pedro Awaits
Salvaged Bullion

SAN PEDRO. Cal. Nov. 49, dip
The major portion of the remaining
$4,000 in gold and silver bullion
lost when the S. S. Colombia sank
at Point Tosca, Baja California,
September 70, is expected to arrive
here tomorrow, salvagers said today.
Although one salvage tug is re-
naming at the wreck in the hope
of picking up the remainder Of the
valuable bars. it was said here that
there was little chance of salvaging
them because frequent storms pre-
vented work of any kind.
The amount of tornorrow's ship
ment, which is consigned to San
Francisco, was not announced. A
previous shipment totaled $4,000.
Bars valued at $4,000 were on
board the ship when it sank.
