KEEL. Germany, May 1s-Nations Of
the world were called upon by Chan
cellor Heinrich Bruening today to fol-
low Germanys example in fulfilling its
disarmament obligations under the post
war treaties.
Delivering the principal address at
the launching of Germany's new cruiser
Deutschland, the chancellor said: Ger
many can, with absolute right. say that
she has not neglected conscientiously
to fulfill the disarmament obligations
imposed upon her by the treaties.
eff ever a hope Of humanity is to
arise out Of these treaties, we expect
that our disarming shall be followed BY
others. It Is natural we should do our
best to guarantee our people that little
safety which the treaties leave US, and
this, too, in the interests Of Europe and
the world.
I'm this solemn hour we hold out our
hands most sincerely TO those who con-
cede rights equal TO those they them
selves enjoy"
Chancellor Bruening said the new
cruiser not only complied with all
treaties, but was particularly signif1-
cant today in view Of the presence At
Geneva of Foreign Minister Julius Cur
European understanding, and added he
did not believe any real lover Of peace
in the world could be disturbed by the
launching of Germany's newest fighting
craft
A hitch occurred In the launching
ceremony when the hull slid preTna-
turely down the ways before President
Paul Won Hindenburg could smash the
traditional bottle Of champagne on its
prov and deliver his prepared address
He made the best Of the situation,
however, by speaking the formal words
Of the christening rite after the bat
tleship was In the water.
Superior to BattIeship.
1t was the symbolism. foreshadowing
rebirth Of the nations sea defense,
that brought huge throng here. What
slid into the water was q slim, armored
hull. All the miracles Of compact driv-
ing machinery and armament, designed
to make this 10,000-ton vessel superior
TO battleships twice its weight, still re-
manned to be installed.
When complete she will have 4 speed

11DM|LL|ON SAVING
SOUGHT BY HOOVER
President viii Confer With
All Administrative Heads
on Economy Program.
By The Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
President Hoover expects to save be-
tween s125.oo0.Oo0 and sfs0,ooo, 900
next year in his governmental economy
program.
Representatives Of all administrative
branches, including the smallest COM
missions, will motor to the Presidents
Rapidan Mountain retreat before the
program outline has been completed
Two departments, Interior and War. al
ready have had their budgets scanned
in the first Of the week end confer
ences.
100000 900 Saving Seen.
In the War Department a decision TO
abandon between 20 and 80 Army posts
and concentrate military activities will
be the major change. This, with other
economies. will cut about $4,000, 900
the cost of running the military branch
The figure Is not final, but officials said
at least that much would be saved.
Since President Coolidges economy
program centered in the Interior De-
partment, officials Of that branch could
find ways Of saving only about $4,000
600 next year. They look for more sub
stantial reductions in the two following
years, however, bringing the total for
three years to about $1,000, 900. Much
of this saving will be made by uost-
poning capital outlays on non-esseutial
projects until later on.
The need for strict economy In Gov
eminent operation was realized keerlv
by President Hoover soon after income
tax returns began to show a heavy fall
ing of as result of the business de-
preston.
Three Departments Due Study.
The Chief Executive ordered that no
public project which furnished en-
ployment be halted. Much of the nom
military expenditures of the War De-
partment are on inland waterways and
in flood control projects, so the de-
partment had to turn to concentration
OF military activities as the only ave.
nue. OF saving. Considerable Interior
Department activity is in the field of
social welfare and its appropriations for
that work were increased at the solicit
tation of the President himself, so
there was little room for him, consist
emily, to reduce costs there
Three of the largest and most ex-
penSive of the Government departments
are scheduled for examination during
the next three weeks. Treasury, Post
Office and Agriculture bureau heads
have been instructed to be ready to dis
cuSS their activities with the President
at the Rapidan.

face and in the house the Briants oc-
cupied. Volunteers who later were
reinforced by French Army engineers
began removing the debris, but there
were no cries from the woman and the
two men underneath.
1t was believed that removal of the
ruins might take some time and that
the victims might not be reached for
several days.
Telephones Ambassador Edge.
Mrs. Dunlap telephoned Ambassador
Edge at Paris Immediately.
The Ambassador ordered Mai. Robert
Walsh, assistant military attache, to
proceed to Tours without delay. He
left by automobile, accompanied by Mrs.
Corcoran Thorn of Washington, his
mother in-law and Gen. Dunlap's aunt.
Mr.. Edge also informed the French
war department, and army engineers
near Tours were directed to hurry as
siStance.
The Ambassador did not press her
for details, even though her telephone
conversation was somewhat incoherent.
He acted quickly, dispatching a military
attache to Tours Immediately.
The war department informed the
embassy also that inasmuch as the
general was reported to have gone into
the villa there always was the POSSIBLE
ty that he might have been able to find
refuge in the cellar.

GRAPE PROMOTERS
WARY OF MISSOURI
Mrs. WiIIebrandt Believes
State Law There Is
Too Strict.

California grape concentrate interests
are planning to expand their Nation
wide sales campaign with the aid of
the Federal Farm Board, but they are
going to stay out Of Missouri
Missouri has been crossed of the list
of States to be served with the wine
grape juices on the advice Of Mrs
Mabel Walker Willebrandt, former pro-
hibition czarina, who now is attorney
for Fruit Industries, Ltd, manufac-
turers of the concentrates.
81 advised my clients to stay away
from Missouri because was uncertain
as to the scope of the State law there"
Mrs. Willebrandt explained today. THE
sale of grape concentrates Is not illegal
under the Federal law, but Missouri
has a very stringent statute covering
fruit juices. Consequently Fruit In
dustries has not even so much as ad-
vertised its products out there"
Denies Prosecution Reports.
Mrs wnIebrandt made this disclosure
In joining with Donald c. Conn, manag-
ing director Of Fruit Industries, COM
menting on the prosecution of a grape
concentrate company in Kansas City
for violation of the Volstead act.
She emphasized that the concern now
on trial has no connection with Fruit
Industries. and she expressed doubt that
the defendant company used California
grapes in its product
Mrs. Willebrandt said her clients are
planning to install additional machin-
cry for the manufacture of concentrates
and that they are planning to ask the
Federal Farm Board for a loan of ap-
proximately 100000 wifi which to
expand the industry. A more intensive
sales campaign is on the program.
A loan will not be requested formally,
she said, until representatives of the
grape concentrate industry have out
lined to the Farm Board production
plans for the ensuing year. No date
has been arranged for a hearing before
Government officials, she said.
No Loan Application.
At the Farm Board today it was
stated that no application has been
made by the grape interests for addi-
tional loans to stabilize the industry.
but representatives Of the growers have
been in conference with officials for
the past several days. Ralph Merritt
of the California Grape Control Board,
which controls the surplus grape in
dustry, was a visitor at offices of the
board yesterday.
One report was that raisin producers
may ask for a loan of Sill 200, 900 from
the Government Mrs Willebrandt
does not represent this group of
growers.
Mrs. Willebrandt said the California
grape growers are beginning 10 plan
for marketing new crop the grapes
will begin to mature in July no esti-
mates are available as to the probable
size of the new crop, she stated.

at 5o4 Oglethorpe street, and two other
sailors were believed drowned In Mar
raganset Bay, near Prudence Island,
when a boat in which they had been
riding capsized during q storm, accord
ing to word received here.
The other men were Michael J..
Hrapek, ~ years old, Of Springfield,

The dory in which the men set out
from a torpedo testing barge last Sat-
urday. moored at Gould Island, was
found overturned near Prudence Is
land yesterday, and no trace Of the
men had been found, 1t was reported
here
The search for the men and dory
began Saturday when the sailors did
not return at nightfall and their safety

fensive weapon ever produced: A flying
torpedo which can be directed with
precision against any target, stationary
or moving, and against which no
amount Of twisting or lodging would
avail.
For the first time the veil was lifted
from the most secretly developed mill
tary plane since the war, an experiment
tai type Of attack plane developed by An
thony H. @. Fokker, world famed build
er OF fighting planes, to replace the
present attack planes Of the Army. The
new plane is a low-wing type capable
Of speeds better than 100 miles per
hour with pilot and gunner, full fuel
load, bombs and ammunition. In APP
pearance it is one of the most ruthless
looking Of the many new types of
f1ghting planes under test at the Air
Corps material division, a grim destroy
er OF the air, designed to envelop
ground troops without warning in a
storm OF lead and iron and escape in
an instant. In view of the recent con-
troverSy over the Fokker type of wooden
wing, it is interesting that this plane
Is the first built by Fokker with an all
metal wing. The shouts of machine
guns bristle from the forward edge of
the wing and behind the pilot rides q
gunner bombardier. who handles the
rear guns. The landing wheels and
tail wheel are built into a streamlined
structure faired into the fuselage.
Undergo Rigorous Tests.
Another experimental type of which
nothing has been made public previously
Is a three-place Fokker flying wing"
bomber. somewhat similar to the ex-
perimental long-range reconnaissance
plane produced last year and flown to
the National Capital on the way to
Dayton. Both planes are undergoing
rigorous flight testing.
There Is a two-seater pursuit plane.
the first in the history of American
military aviation, which has gone
through the experimental mill and has
led to orders for construction of IS of
its type for the Air Corps. This Is a
gull wing type powered with a 500
horsepower Prestone- cooled engine
which gives 1t speed, with pilot and
gunner, equal to that of the single
scatter pursuits Of today.
Several new types Of observation
planes which near the 200-mile-per-
hour mark in speed have been put on
flight test, among them q monoNlane
with struts and bracing wires above the
wing in somewhat the fashion Of the
old type paraSol monoplanes. One OF
the most spectacular of the new OBJ
servation ships Is a sesquiplane, the
lower wing only half the size Of the
upper. capable OF top speed Of nearly
200 miles per hour, with monocoque
fuselage built without interior bracing,
and geared 600-horSepower engine.
