IMPROVE DEADLY
WAR ARMAMENTS
Is Part of Imperialist
War Preparations

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. ie--Muni-
ton makers, high officials of the Wal
Depa- tment and some 5000 specta
tors ,sterday witnessed the in
creased efficiency of modern death
dealing ornaments at the 18th an
nual meeting of the Army Ordnance
Association at the Aberdeen Proving
Grounds, Maryland.
The display of ornaments showed
the improvement of all kinds Of
guns, from hand rifles to 16 inch sea
coast guns and increased power iT
destructiveness, mobility and firing
aim.
A staff correspondent OF the Her
ald-Tribune stated the function OF
the Ordnance Association and OF the
meeting.
The Army Ordnance Association
is composed largely Of the indus
trialists who would become the ma
TONS munitions makers in the
event of another war. The tests
were held for the purpose of show
ing them the Army's latest develop
ment In ordnance, firing actual
charges on tested ranges, where the
effect could be observed with scien-
tific precision"
That the next war will be no gay
picnic for aviators was demonstrated
in the use of a new inch aircraft
gun. Firing range is found by use OF
an electrical detector and each single
run fires Is twelve pound shells per
minute. A lowed target at the prov
ing grounds was thoroughly riddled
and proved the effectiveness of the
new guns.
The feverish rush for armament
improvement comedies with the
building of Is new Navy bombers as
part of American imperialist war
preparations.

by the opposition group to come to
this meeting to discuss the situation
and decide on definite action.

with the approval Of the bosses Of
the International Fur Workers, and
president and secretary of that or

he is planning something especially
dirty. He has begun TO issue state

BODY HEARS
OLD LICENSE CASE.
Pinchot Enters Fight Waged
Over Development in Vir-
ginia County.

With Pennsylvania making a late
entrance into the fray through Gov.
Clifford Pinchot, noted conservationist,
the six-year-old dispute over the form
of license to be granted the Appa-
lachian Electric Power Co. for a
$ll,000000 development on New River
in Pulaski County, Va, today was in
the hands of the New Federal Power
Commission for adjudication.
The commissions hearing on the
license application of the Appalachian
Electric wound up yesterday, after
two days had been given over to taking
testimony. AS it was concluded Penn
sylvania came in with protest against
the modified license sought by the COM
psny. which is supported by the States
of Virginia and West Virginia, which
New River traverSeS: Arkansas, Ten
nessee and Kentucky.
Federal Power Outlined.
Basing its contention on the fact
that New River is non -navigable, the
Appalachian asserts that the Federal
Government can exact nothing further
in license than is necessary to safe
guard navigation in the Kanawha,
into which the New River flows. Any
other regulatory powers. it holds,
should be vested in the States. This
also is the stand of the States-Vir-
GINA and West Virginia, as particu
larly interested parties, and the other
three States. because OF the effect the
ruling i'll this case will have on power
developments in their own domain.
Previous commissions have held that
because the flow OF the New River
could affect the navigability of the
Kanawha, the Federal Government
should assume entire regulation of the
project, which would include control
Of its financial set-up.
Gov. Pinchot lines up with this view.
In his formal protest to Chairman
Smith of the commission, he asks for
permission to file briefs opposing issu-
ance of a minor part license covering
navigation only instead of the regular
license provided by law and your rules"
Request Is Granted.
In telegram, he asked the commits
sion to withhold a decision until Penn
sylvania's brief could be submitted, and
said a preliminary brief would be SUBJ
mitted Immediately.
Chairman Smith said the brief would
be welcomed, and granted the request
for time. He later said any one wishing
to file briefs would have until February
% to come in with them. He does not
expect a decision for several weeks.
w. e. Carson, chairman of the Vir-
ginia Conservation Commission, who
has been one of the leaders in the fight
on what has been termed the Govern
ment's infringement of States rights in
the New River case, repeated again yes
terday that Virginia would do all in her
power to prevent the Government from
taking full control of the proposed
project. From the company, too. through
r. w. Scheidenhelm, its engineer, came
q yelled threat that the project would
be abandoned unless the companys
terms for license were complied with.
Attorney General Mitchell has held
that a minor part" license could be
issued.

CRIME IN CLEVELAND
DECREASES IN 1890
Drop of Is Per Cent Is Reported
by Head of Association for
Criminal Justice.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, February 18. - Ohio's
metropolis is winning its fight against
the criminal
This was announced today by Dan
B. Gull, acting president of the Cleve-
land Association for Criminal Justice,
while many other large cities of the
country were combating crime increases.
Crimes of violence, he said, declined
IS per cent in 1880 under 1929. Despite
the financial depression. which usually
swells to a great degree the number
involved in crimes against property,
such as burglary, house breaking and
larceny, these gained only II per cent.
When prosperity returns Gull looks for
this figure to be sharply reduced.
Gull attributed the lighter criminal
burden to firmer police action and more
active prosecutions.
