Dark clouds Of uncertainty loom In

manufactures tax proposal in the new
revenue bill, but party leaders are voic-

before the final test comes, probably
this week.
From Secretary Mills came complete
Treasury Endorsement of the 81 ,o96,-

budget must be balanced through in
creased revenue or the credit of the
Nation would be impaired.

States Government and all that we have
sought to accomplish in the course Of
the last few months is, to large ex-

wide broadcast radio speech.
Opponents Attacked.
AS opponents of the sales levy began
to gain ground in the third day of
debate in the House, when Represent
ative La Guardia, Republican, New
York, submitted the independents sub

from an unexpected quarter.
Representative Huddleston Of Ala

dramatic and caustic fashion denounced
the opponents Of the sales tax In such
way that he stimulated the hopes Of
its advocates. BY many 1t was regard

(copyrisht. 1882, by the Associated Press)
NEW YORK, March 12.-Be-
cause it might speed the Lind
bergh baby's return" to its parents,
Morris Rosner, undercoveF man,
announced today that he had
definite knowledge the child is
"aliVe and safe"
He said he was not able to re-
veal whether he had had actual
conversation or other direct COM
munication with the kidnapers,
but that his statement that the
baby was safe and we'll and would
be returned was not in any way
mere matter of opinion.
He indicated that police we're in
no way concerned with his activi-
ties in the case.
In Trenton, N. j., and Hopewel,
N. j., RoSner'S interview stirred a
series of inquiries and confusing
police statements and denials.
These finally simmered down late ia
the night to a formal pronouncement
by Col H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head
Of State police, that he had not IN
tended to deny the fact that the inter-
view was given but that the police DO
sition was that they had no official"
knowledge of RoSner nor could Rosner'S
statements be considered Official"
Pledge to Kidnapers.
On the specific point of whether Ros-
ner was an agent of Col. Lindbergh
there was no police answer.
At his apartment as he returned from
one of his frequent visits to the Lind
bergh home at Hopewell, NJ j., after
103 hours ION his feet" to bathe and
relax before undertaking a very deli
cate task" Rosner made it plain that
ito talk" was to break a rule of a life
time
On the basis that it might be to the
interest Of the missing baby. he used
the interview to assure the kidnaperS
that they need not fear to rush nego-
tiations
IT am guaranteeing that nothing will
be done to harm them" he said. Be
hind that guarantee is my life-after
this is all over they know where they
can find me-"
He referred once to the kidnapers as
that family"
That family made a mistake" he
said. They'll never make another
one. We all make mistakes.
"All we want is to get our baby back,
Americas baby. Col. Lindbergh will do
nothing to prosecute them. I guar
antee they will not be prosecuted-and,
as said before, my life is behind that
guarantee"
Rosner said he was formerly a Gov
eminent agent and that he was recon-
mended to the Lindberghs by Senator
Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma and 9th
ers high in the political life Of the
Nation"
He arrived at his apartment in a
Limousine belonging to Douglas Craik

AUTO ENGINE POWER INCREASED
BY USE OF SUDS FOR COOLING
New Method for Pistons and Exhaust
Valves Tried Out on Single Cylinder
Motor In Laboratory.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
DETROIT, May 25.-Detroit has the
first suds motor-a futuristic automobile
engine.
Using soap suds to cool its piston
and water in it's exhaust valve, this
engine develops big increase in power
-one-third more than gasoline alone.
The suds and water are not fuels,
but supercoolers. They demonstrate
the profit in supercooling certain extra
hot spots in prcsent-type engines.
This motor is set up in research
laboratory under direction Of Earl Bar
tholomew. It is a "one-lunger," pos
sessing only a single cylinder. 3l4 inches
by 5. 1t is also high compression. So
high that the compression alCne can

water are turned on.
Cooling the exhaust valve alone in
creases power per cent. The valve
is hollow, permitting water to flow
through its interior.
More important by far is piston
cooling. This yields 25 per cent addi-

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. May 25.-Un-
less Speedway precedent Is upset, new
comers in the 500-mile automobile race
here May 80 have little chance to win.
Statistics gathered from 10 years Of
racing on the famous old brick course
show that the winning driver in all
that time has had to average 1918
miles in competition before receiving
the checkered flag.
Four Win the First Time.
Only four drivers ever won the clas-
sic the first time they started in it.
They were Jules GouS and Rene Thom-
IS. Frenchmen, who were victors in
1913 and 1914, respectively, and the
| late Frank Lockhart, 1926, and George
SCuderS. who did it in 1927.
The Frenchmen were veterans OF the
roaring road-the best of the European
crowd Both Lockhart and Souders
were racing upstartS-unknown in
vaders of the inner sanctums of the
racing stars of their day. Lockhart
was killed in 1923, trying to make a
new straightaway record at Daytona
Beach, Fla Souders is retired.
Good luck has been with drivers
making their second try, however. seven
in that class coming through to victory.
Victors with less than 1000 miles be-
hind them were Joe Dawson, 1912;
Dario Resta. 1916: CASTOR Chevrolet,
1920: Tommy Milton. only two-time
winner. 1921: Louis Meyer. 1928, and
Ray Keech, 1929. Resta, Chevrolet and
Keech are dead.
Billy Arnold, comparative youngster
when he won in 1880 at the age of
26. competed for 1900 miles before he
found victory at the end Of the long,
greasy, windwhipped road. Peter De
Paolo, who set record of 10ll3 miles
miles before he found the winning way.
Schneider Had 1,7S5 Miles.
Louis Schneider. who won last year
started in three other 500-miles grinds
and had the experience and sorrow of
1875 miles behind him.
The late Howdy Wilcox, 1919 win
ner. Travelled 2.767 miles before the god
OF speed smiled upon him and gave up
a checkered flag to Wilcox in his sew
erth race.
Milton had one victory and 1885
official miles when he performed his
unequaled stunt of winning second
time in 1923. The late Joe Boyer was
in his fifth five-century contest when
he was co-Winner with L. L. Corum in
1924.
Ralph De Palma. who won in 1915,
tops all others in miles driven over the
bricks, his total being 4,06l miles
Ralph Mulford. an old-timer. is next
with 4.009 rough miles. And that other
veteran, Eddie Hearne. who never won

These increases in power output,
said Mr.. Bartholomew, "are less pro-

used. Hence it is apparent that the
gains due to exceptional cooling are
greater in engines which are designed
to operate most economically.
Data obtained on a single-cylinder
