WA SHIN GTON, Feb. 49,
Municipal election returns from
Cleveland have given a thrill to
Democratic leaders and discouraged
Republicans. A Democratic mayor
was elected Tuesday for the first
time in the seventeen years since
Newton D. Baker was chosen.
President Hoover carried Ohio by
763,336 votes over AL Smith in 1928
Two years ago Senator Robert
j. Buckley, Democrat, upset the Re-
publican majority and won by 2OO,-
600. In the interim, Youngstown

Gratis in charge of municipal affairs,
while Cincinnati and Dayton have
substituted nonpartisan officials
for Republicans.
In Toledo, Postmaster General
Walter F. Browns machine has
been upset and independent Repub-

Av|ATORS FACE
SITTER TESTS
Strict Requirements Added
to Prove Competence.
By Scripps-HO.oard Newspaper Alliance

By Scripps-Hotcdrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - The
commerce department. has taken
action, it was learned today, which
will at one step not only make
flying on the airlines safer, but
also will help airline pilots in their
fight to have their work continue
in the status of a profession, rather
than sink to the level of a common
laborer.
The action was the PRONUNCIATION
of certificate of competency" for
airline pilots, raising the standards
for aviators who fly on the sched-
uled airlines far above the present
requirements.
This action not only will elimi-
nate employment of incompetent
pilots, but also win set up a new
standard of competency for the 600
or 700 pilots now flying half a mil
lion farepaying passengers over the
nation annually.
The commerce department makes
it clear that this action has Moth
ing to do with the present strike Of
twenty-five pilots on the Century
airlines running out Of Chicago.
The proposed amendment re-
quires that all pilots flying in inter-
state commerce have at least 1900
hours solo flying time, 500 hours
cross country, Seventy-flve hours
night flying, and that all pass a
test in blind or instrument, fly
ing.

who used to be her friends. They
aren't going to forgive her, very
easily, for opposing her own .coun-
try and siding with India.
Then, too, they don't approve Of
her actions. They have heard that
she MIXED Gandhi's goat for him.
Numbered his loincloth, performed
other personal services.
Then, too, Madeline Slade shared
Mahatma Gandhi's cabin when he
returned to India from London.
Harmless as it was, it may be held
against her.
She has worshiped heather god,
which is another fact that has to
be considered, especially since her

did all the things that English girls
do when she was younger.
She has obeyed a strict service
code ever since the day that she
came across Roman Rolland'S life
of Gandhi and, seven years ago,
decided to join his cause.
Gandhi refused to let her unless
she first served years probation
During that time she was to become
familiar with the Hindu scriptures,
learn the Hindu language. learn to
spin, and give up luxuries.
She came through with flying
colors. When Gandhi undertook his
campaign of civil disobedience, he
placed Miss Slade in charge of the
''ashram" during his absence in Jail.
Since Gandhi believes that mental
tasks should be glorif1ed, she forgot
that she used to have servants of
her own and swept, scrubbed,
cooked, or did anything else that
she was asked to do.
Last spring when the mahatma
and the British viceroy were trying
to find some workable plans Of
agreement, Miss Slade carried the
Indian leaders food to him.

heart in India, in the "ashram," re-

NEW COURT FIGHT
FACED BY YELLING

The administrator for estate Of
two persons, in connection with
whose deaths Coroner Fred w.
Vehling was convicted of bride
solicitation, moved today to prevent
the coroner from collecting burial
fees.
Scene Of the coroner's legal diff
culties shifted to probate court, as
Herman Stickel, administrator, an
nounced he would contest Vehling's
claim against the estate Of Benja-
min Stickel, gas victim.
Charging the fee solicited by the
coroner is "exorbitant and unreas-
onahle," Stickel late Thursday
sought legal aid.
Meanwhile, Vehling's attorneys
sought leniency from q two to four
teen year sentence, it was learned,
provided their client resigns from
Office. Vehling is at liberty under
$4,000 bond.
The coroner was found guilty by
a criminal court jury on a charge

HAMMOND, Ind, Feb. 19.-Any
attempt of Virgil Kirkland to OBJ
tain a parole from the prison cell
where he is serving a conviction

death of Arlene braves, will be met

also have written the parole board
protesting against possible leniency

No move has been made to obtain
a parole, according to Oscar w.

Vehling was charged with
threatening to return suicide ver-

death unless he was raid $1,975 in
life insurance policies, $50 in cash,
and automobile and household
furnishings.
The suicide verdict would have

WTHAT is going to happen to
W Madeline Slade, who has
been Mahatma Gandhi's only Eng
lish woman follower? She has been
ordered out of Bombay. Refusing
to leave, she was sentenced to three
months in jail.
She can minister no longer to
the personal wants of the little,
brown skinned Nationalist leader
for whom she gave up her family
and friends and a fortune.
Will she pine for him, now that
they must be separated? Will she
keep right on wearing her one
piece native dress, and spin from
early morning until 6 o'clock every
night? Will she speak up boldly
and tell England what she thinks
of the way it is treating India
and the mahatma?
Or will she change her mind
about the whole question and try
an English comeback, when she
goes free?
Will she buy some new clothes,
start to attend Mayfair tea parties,
and forget her recent life?
And if she does decide to come
back, will the people of England
accept her? They shook their heads
very severely when she joined the
Indian cause six years ago.
They still we're shaking their
heads when she accompanied Gan
dhi to London last fall. She wasn't
accepted in any sense of the word.
And she didn't want to be.
THERE are two courses open to
l. the 39-year-old woman who has
been Gandhi's devout (and in
way, favorite) disciple. She may
live as an alien in her native coun-
try. Or she may break every VOW
she has taken, and try to forget TIE
last six years. Either way she will
find difficulties.
If she decides to live the simple,
humble life of service that she has
been following in India she can't
watch the fashions. She will have
to wear khaddhar dress, which is
made from home-spun yarn.
She will have to sleep out in the
open, on cot, without mattress or
springs. She will have to rise at 4
o'clock for her morning prayers,
and go to bed at 9, just when other
people are starting to the opera or
