SEVENTEEN OF MOUNT HOLYOKE
 GIRLS. DROPPED
They Have Been Suspended for Some InfractiOn of Rules, But Names Are Secret

South Hadley, Mass, May 21.- (UP) .-Seventeen Mount Holyoke college girls have been suspended for the rest of the academic year for various violations of the col lege rules, it was learned to-day. Names of those suspended were withheld President Mary E. Wooley asserting it was college policy never to make public suspension lists. While Mount Holyoke stu dents have been suspended in small groups on several occasions. the wholesale suspensions revealed to- day affected the largest number of undergraduate in the history or the institution, it was understood.
 The suspensions, it was indicated, did not result from any single af- fair but were invoked for miscel- laneous minor attractions of col lege rules. None of the offenses was of a scandalous nature, President Holyoke's high standards. College authorities indicated that some or all of the suspended students would re- turn to Mount Holyoke next fall. It was reported that those suspended represented every class in the col lege.

Alleged Guiding Genius of the Company Was Under Cross Examination By Acorn

Hartford, Conn.,, May 21.-(UP). Blanket denial of the states al- legations was entered by Frederic F.. Kingston to-day at the trial or the broker and four associates on fraud charges.
 States Attorney Hugh H. Alcorn resumed cross-eXamination Of King ston-alleged guiding genius of F. E. Kingston and company and a half dozen susidiary enterprises-at the opening of superior court Judge Frank F. McEvoy's court to-day.

Reid. later officer manager, showed him falsified report of the Kingston company's condition sent to the New York curb exchange last summer: that he had knowledge Of an assertedly false report of the con- dition of Guardian Investment Trust last August. He repudiated the sig nature on a check for $500 which Reid said Kingston gave him about the time of the allegedly false re- port to the New York curb.

at $40 c. s. T., cheers that were al- most drowned by the roar of 700 motors broke from the crowds. Standing room on Michigan avenue skyscrapers was at a premium.
 Streams of paper and clouds of confetti showered down, as the aerial parade went south.
 The bombers wheeled back from the south, the pilots of the twin mo- tored ships pulling the throttles wide open as. they swooped on Navy Pier to unload their cargoes of imaginary bombs.
 Higher and farther out over the lake, some of them 'in the sum- pursuit and attack groups dived to- ward the seemingly unwieldly bomb CTS to turn back the enemy" that sought to blow up the lake front.
 The smaller attacking planes held their triangle formations perfectly as they wheeled and dived theoretic7 ally firing hundreds of rounds of machine fire into the fuselages of the bombers. Machine gunners who manned the pivot weapons in the cockpits of the bombers replied to the firing with just as much simulat- ed enthusiasm.
 Most of the air fleet, after the re- view, swung eastward across the lake and started for Fairfield air de- pot at Dayton shortly after a. m. CST. Only the demonstration group lighting" over Navy Pier remained in the area 40 minutes after the first plane came from the north down the lake front.
 The maneuvers in Chicago came to an end with a smoke screen laid down over the Navy Pier by bomb CTS. stimulating defense efforts to hide strategic points during war times.
 Meantime, nearly 100 pursuit and attack planes cut all the dog fight" capers known to the profession.
 They dived, zoomed. flew upside down, executed Immelmann turns and "hedged hopped" with the wheels of the tiny planes almost touching the water.
 That over, the bombers loosed the smoke screen and by 10 a. m. c. S. T. the last of the air fleet headed east for it's attack" on the Atlantic Seaboard

 Past the pier roared the 700 planes alternate squadrons high to obviate the possibility of mid-air crashes, then past the Stevens hotel, where General Foulois with his staff re- viewed the fleet.
 The heavy bombers waggled their wings in salute as they swept by the reviewing stands. Attack and pur- suit ships gave the air salute to their commander.

 Bedford rose from the obscurity of toy peddling in the shadow of Brooklyn bridge to the heights of industrial power. He was born Tn Brooklyn, February 19, 1S49, Of English parents, Frederick Thomas and Ann Elizabeth Bedford.
 His family moved to farm at Westport when he was still child and he received his early schooling at the Maple Grove academy. When he wasn't studying he did chores on his fathers acres. He would get up at four in the morning, load the farm wagon with vegetables and drive to the town of Bridgeport to sell his produce.
 At the age of IT he came to New York where he sold toys beside the Brooklyn bridge. A year later he went to work for the oil firm of Charles Craft and Co. By the time lie was SS ne lOuHu llIIioCll III charge of the Bedford department of the Standard Oil Co. The Standard Oil Co made him first member of the merchandising committee, then director, and a member of the executive committee.
 How did a mere employe attain that recognition?' he was asked many years later.
 Well, l didn't seek it," he said, 'I was working away as usual, as hard as I could and they sent for me and informed me what they had done."
 He organized the New York Blue Coat Co in 1922. Bedford waged a battle with the corn products trust, and he emerged victorious. There was a merger and a corn pro- duct refining company was formed.
 He was married in 1871 to Miss Mary Ann Dungee and five children were born to them. Charles E.. Frederick T.. Mary E.. Emily H., and Gracia M.

BRITISH RADIO
 SHOWS INCREASE

London.-The British radio indus try had a turnover of $1OO,OOO,O0O in 1880, an increase of 40 per cent over 1929, according to statistics just published by the Wireless and Gramaphone Trader.
 Approximately 3,590,00O of the H. 0OO, 900 homes in Great Britain have radio licenses, the journal says. It estimates that radio will eventually be installed in at least 75 per cent of the homes in the country.
 Less than half the potential field has been touched" the maga- zine says. "and a still higher turn over can be expected by this youth full but wonderfully progressive in dustry.'
 To substantiate this prediction, the journal points out that the number of radio license-holders jumped by 17S,000 during the first two months of 1881. This indicat- ed that the increase of 5O0.OOO new listeners in each of the past six years would be surpassed.
 The magazine estimates that be- tween 2O,000.000 and 30,OOO, 900 persons listen to radio programs in Britain every night.

LOS ANGELES LID OFF.


 Los Angeles, May 21.-(UP)- Predictions that the "lid would be blown off, Los Angeles underworld life were made to-day by police after the double staying of a prominent politician and a veteran newspapre- man who for 20 years had exposed vice here.
 Charles H. Crawford, 55, white haired political leader, and Herbert Spencer, 40, reporter, were shot to death as they sat in Crawford's of lice discussing Spencer's series of exposes of gambling, which he had been publishing in the Critic of Critics, local liberal magazine. Crawford died without revealing the name of the slayer.
 To-day police searched for a strong box in downtown bank which was expected to reveal the name of the gunman or his superiors.
 Both had received threatening messages during the past few months. Spencer, in fact, had print ed box in the magazine, of which he was assistant editor, warn- ing those who might attempt his life, that evidence of corruption was in his possession, and that the docu- ments would be turned over to the district attorneys office should the threats be carried out.
 Crawford had established his brother, George, as a bodyguard in |an outer office after the threats against his life. but George was ab- sent when a man walked in late yesterday, nodded to Lucille Fisher, |25, Crawford's secretary, and was greeted by the politician with: Hello, there old man. How are |you?"
 Spencer arrived later and was ush- cred into the inner sanctum. After about a half hour there was the sound of an altercation.
 Two shots were heard, the stranger rushed out the door and dis |appeared in traffic. Spencer stagger- ed out, blood streaming down his side, and pursued him to the street.
 As aid reached him, he cried "Where is that guy?" and collapsed on the sidewalk in front of the Church of the Blessed Sacrament. He was dead when carried into the office, bullet through his lungs and heart.
 Meanwhile, Crawford was found on the floor of his office, shot in the abdomen. He was rushed to a police hospital, and despite a blood trans fusion, died four hours later.
 Crawford maintained to the last that two men walked into his office. Other witnesses were positive that one man did the shooting.
 Chief of Police Ray F. Steckel took personal charge of the case and said that solution of the crime would "rip the lid wide open," as did the similar killing in Chicago of Jake Lingle, reporter.

eral night clubs, had a string of
 barges and yielded an influence, ac- cording to authorities, over many other fields which in recent years
 have been entered by racketeers. As soon as police arrived at the
 hospital they ordere da strong guard
 thrown about hte building to prevent lany attempt by enemies of the lwounded man to return to finish ltheir incompleted job. This precau- ltion was taken likewise when Hig- Igins' former pal, Jack Diamond, was taken there little more than six
 months ago, nearly dead from bull let wounds.
 The hospital authorities, apparent
 ly mindful of the publicity which accrued from that experience, were reluctant, police said, to keep Hig- gins if he would be transferred. Ii
 was said that he could-so at s
 o'clock an ambulance from Manhat-

 racketeer, hiding his face from
 cameramep with the sheet of his stretcher, was carried out and trans ferred to the Manhattan.
 Higgins first came into contact with the police in 1915, and has been
 taken into custody 12 times since
 The charges against him ranged
 from assault and robbery to homi. eide. In 1915 and 1916 he was ar rested on serious charges, but later was released on probation.
 His only conviction was in Jersey City, when he was fined $42O fol
 driving while drunk, driving without a license and recklessly, on March 31 of this year. He was taken in by
 police in 1929 as a fugitive from
 Providence, R. l.. but was freed.
