FLAY VERDICT.

Bitter denunciation of the YER

received by The Washington
Times in response to it's appeal
to readers to demand of Con-
greSs adequate protection of
American womanhood in Hawaii.
The verdict is upheld and
commended in only one letter.
Other letters say:
81 am one of a group who
will never allow Hawaiian pine
apple and sugar in my home
until MaSsie has been freed and
the four attackers of his wife
punished. 1 would consider
America the home of a degen-
crate race if we bred men and

A Reader of The Washington

"They have not had a fair
trial. Kelley should be exam
ined by the medical experts.
There is surely something wrong
with him. Everyone should
send kilograms of sympathy to
the four, especially the two
sailors who were convicted with
Lieutenant MaSSie and Mrs.

CAPONE LEAVES
TONIGHT FOR
j, s. PRISON
High Court Ruling Confirmed,
Federal Marshal to Act
on Clerks MittimuS {.

CHICAGO, May 3 (I.N,S.).
Official confirmation of the
United States Supreme Court
ruling which sealed the doom
of Al Capone was received at
the Federal Building here to-
day.
Government officials i'm
mediately made preparation to
take the gangster chief to
Leavenworth Penitentiary to-
night.
Judge Samuel Alschuler, of the
United States circuit court of ap'
peals ordered a mandate Is
sued vacating the writ of super
sedeas by which Capone has been
allowed to remain in the county
Jail.
The clerk of the United States
circuit court Immediately began to
draw up a mittimus to send the
gangster to prison.
CapOne Hope Dim
The supreme courts action shat
tered the last hopes of Capone Of
escaping IL years Imprisonment
and payment of a $4,000 fine for
evading the income tax laws.
However, Michael Ahern, Ca
pone'S attorney, continued to hunt
for legal loopholes in the case. He
said a second petition probably
would be filed with the Supreme
Court, But this would not prevent
Capone's removal to Leavenworth.
CapOne WeepS
News of the Supreme Courts
rejection of his appeal evoked
both belligerence and tears in Ca
pone. He denounced his sentence
as being excessive and then wept
on the shoulder of his aged
mother, who was visiting him at
the Jail when word of the high
courts action arrived.
Marshal Laubenheimer said Ca
pone will be treated just as any
other prisoner on his trip to the
penitentiary.
If the journey begins today,
Capone will be accompanied by
II other prisoners, including a
former henchman, Demenico Rob
erts, sentenced to two years for
violation of immigration. laws.

Latest in Refrigeration on
Display at Show.

"a Car for Every Purse and Pur-
pose," slogan of General Motors,
has been carried to the household
appliance field by this corporation,
which this year offers electric re-
frigeration practically for every purse
and purpose.
Frigidaire's latest electric refrig-
orators, described as being offered
at lowest prices in history of this
subsidiary, are a feature Of the
General Motors exhibit this week at
the Playground.
Newest of the Frigidaires are
three Moraine models which a fac
tory announcement says were in
troduced to place high quality
household refrigerators within the
price range of thousands of fam
lilies who heretofore felt they could
not afford this modern utility. One
Of these models, the ML-4, is listed
at $3.50 at the factory.
Price reductions not Only on the
Moraine models, but also on all
Frigidaire's l-porcelain-on steel
line of refrigerators, were announced
this month.

The following year, 1929, Cadillac
presented a car that incorporated
the advanced ideas of harmonized
steering, rubber engine mountings
and complete insulation of the body
and dash from engine heat and
road noises.
Another progressive step, one
foreseen with the original develop
ment of the V-type engine, Fisher
pointed out, was the expansion of
engine power with unusual smooth
ness in the magnificent Cadillac
Wis.
Cadillac presents this year the
elimination of nearly three decades
of fine car building and its newest
contributions to automotive adj
vancement," says Fisher.

business conditions, which imposed
a new conception of thrift upon
the public.
And here, Of course, is where the
buyer finally gets break" He is
getting rock-bottom prices on a
type of automotive values such as
never has before been seen.
The array of new models now on
view is calculated to create the de-
sire to buy. And comparison of cars
and prices with those of even a
year ago will convince many that
to wait is to tempt fate. Once the
buying rush begins, say auto
makers, in that moment commodity
prices start to rise.
With them, of course, automotive
prices will react upward, wages and
employment levels will go up, and
a new readjustment will be on. The
man who buys his new car today
will be in much the same fortunate
position as the fellow whose wage
Or salary has not shrunk in the

Allison Engineering Com.
pany'S Work Displayed
at Motor Show.

One of the most interesting ex-
hibits at the General Motors show
at the state Playground this week is
shat of Allison Engineering Com
pany, an Indianapolis concern which
has rapidly come to the front in
recent years.
Hundreds of visitors at the show
have inspected the display of their
home town unit.
Among outstanding work done at
the Allison plant was the designing
and manufacture of the power take
offs and adjustable gear heads for
the dirigible Akron, now on exhibit
ton at the show.
Engineering operations at the fac
tory have been under direction of
N. H. Gilman since inception of the
company, and he has served as
president since the death of James
A. Allison, founder.

new PONTIACS
DEFY BUMPS,
ASSURE EASE
Complete Comfort Is Given
by Models on Display
at Show Here.

Under all extremes Of roads
from rough country lanes, to smooth
city StreetS-the new PontiacS. now
or display at the state Playground,
provide complete comfort.
Through a small control button
attached to the steering column, the
driver may adjust the resistance Of.
the hydraulic shock absorbers to
meet the varying rebound of the
springs. When driving over an I'M,
paved roadbed, the rebound be-
comes greater.
On rough roads, therefore, or
with a lightly loaded car, the driver.
by moving the ride control button,
reduces the size of the escape valve
openings within the shock absorbers
and causes them to offer maximum
resistance.
When driving with a fully loaded
car or on smooth boulevardS. where
full spring action gives greatest
comfort, another touch on the con-
troll button opens the shock abb
sorber valves and reduces their re-
sistance. Operation of the escape
valve is through rod and lever
system similar to that used to apply
the brakes Of a car.
Adds to Comfort
Pontiac's combination of ride con-
troll with complete rubber insuls-
ton of the chassis is regarded as
one of the most important contri-
buttons of the year toward achieve
ment of complete riding comfort.
Large rubber pads cushion the en-
CINE from the frame and the frame
from the body, absorbing minor
driving shocks. by preventing metal
to-metal contact.
So complete is this rubber insu-
lation that it extends even to the
connecting links of the shock alb
Soroers. They are attached to the
aXles through rubber, which permits
a slight movement sufficient to per-
NIT the springs to absorb, without
restraint, such minor shocks as are
encountered in driving a car over
tarred joints of concrete pavement.
Other improvements Made
But the moment larger bump
is encountered the restraining force
OF the shock absorbers instantly be-
comes operative. az
Ride control and rubber insula-
ton, however, are only a few of the
factors that give Pontiac cars their =
new comfort. Long wheelbases in
both the six and eight minimize the
distributing effect of bumps, as do
the wide tires which cushion the
cars more effectively from the road. r
Car springs are inclosed and per-
manently fabricated, an important
factor in riding comfort.

Giant Diesel aircraft motors, de-

tests being conducted prove success
full.
One of the huge engines of this
type, designed and manufactured by

The Allison Diesel, weighing
$500 pounds, develops 900 horse
power at 1900 revolutions a minute.
The Six-cylinder engine was de-

CADILLAC WINS
HIGH HONORS IN
AUTO PROGRESS
Many Improvements Due to
Research by Big Com
pany's Engineers.

Presentation Of the newest de-
velopment in automobile lighting
the Super-Safe five-beam control
system-on the new Cadillac, now
on exhibition at the General Motors.
national exhibit, Indiana state fair
ground, is another evidence of the
progressive pioneering spirit the
Cadillac Motor Car Company has
followed for almost thirty years, &C
cording to L. P. Fisher, president of
the company.
The electric lighting, starting, and
ignition now universally used in the
automotive industry first was pre-
sented to the motoring world by
Cadillac, in 1912. And for this great
invention, Cadillac was awarded the
Dewar trophy that year.
The 1912 award established Cadil-
lac a5 the only company that has
received this coveted recognition
twice. It had been awarded previ-
ously to Cadillac in 1905 for achiev-
ing inter- changeability of parts for
the first time in automotive history.
This important step was the fore
runner of the production methods
to which America owes it's premier
position in the world of motor car
manufacture.
Builds First High Speed Motor
In 1914, Cadillac built the first
high-speed, 90-degree, V-type, eight
cylinder motor ever produced in
this country, the same motor, only
more highly developed, that is used
in the Cadillac va and La Sale
today.
A cut-out chassis with this motor
is on permanent exhibition, along
with one of Cadillac's first cars, at
the Smithsonian institution in
Washington.
Crankcase ventilation, now used
on virtually all automobiles, was
developed by Cadillac. This prac-
tical improvement overcame many
difficulties which had been puzzling
automotive engineers for many
years.
The pioneering record of this
leader of the fine car group also
includes the introduction of the
compensated crankShaft, a develop
ment which minimized motor vibra-
ton.

Makes Other improvements

Introduction of the Synco-mesh
Transmission, on the Cadillac of
1928, was the first major step &C
complished by the industry in many
years toward improving this ex-
tremely important unit. On this
same car, Cadillac also answered
the public demand for greater safe
ty by offering Security plate glass
windows and windshield.

BETTER VALUE,
BETTER STYLE,
AUTO KEYNOTE
General Motors Displays
Calculated to Tempt
Canny Buyers.
Value IS the thing this year.

foAAN - lAlG b1Ailk ILLS ycdI.
At the bottom of it all, Of course,
IS an economic readjustment I'M
paralleled since dawn Of the auto
motive era, from which the public
finally is going to get a break"
auto makers declare. Value is the
keynote Of the entire display at the
General Motors national exhibit,
livestock building, state Playground,
this week.
Probably there never has been a
time when value meant so much
when manufacturers were going so
far in their effort to raise quality
and lower price. They have had to
do it, Of course. Persons forced to
readjust their spending to keep
within reduced incomes are buying
only for their needs, and applying
their measures of value more strict
ly than ever before.
1t was into a greatly changed
setting that the automotive indus
try had to plan the introduction
Of it's Offering for 1892. Always in
close contact with the economic
pulse of the country, motor car
manufacturers, months ago, fell
into step with the times.
Values Are Greater
Several of the new lines, rejecting
these builders convictions on the
appropriate thing for these times,
have been out for some weeks. Buick
and Chevrolet have outdone them
selves in the matter of value re-
ferred to, and their achievement
may be regarded as more or less
typical of the industry at large.
Greater values are apparent from
one end of the car to the other.
There is an array of mechanical
innovations seldom matched in any
one year. But even nearer home,
from the body manufacturers
standpoint, are the many body adj
vancements in these new lines of
cars.
Here again it will be found that
the effort to give more for the
money has dictated every change.
Fisher Bodies, for instance, incor-
porate dozens of improvements this
year. There is the new adjustable
interior windshield, replacing
the outside fixed visor; newly de-
signed and refined body fittings;
better upholstery, insulation and
ventilation; new refinements of
door locks, seat regulators and win
dow mechanisms, to name the more
concrete examples.
Greater Style Shown
And finally, there is style. Always
an important factor, style means
more now than ever, perhaps be-
cause the average buyer is keeping
his car longer than heretofore. And
it is reasonable to suppose that he
will select the car whitehall other
factors being equal-stands the best
chance of looking up-to-date among
the cars of the year after next.
Careful streamlining has been the
dominant change in style of bodies.
There is the same caution against
anything faddish or freaky. Styles
this year might have been a good
deal more radical but for changed
