Former Government Scientists
Garry On Auiation Researcl,
Radio Experts, Victims of Economy Ak,
Form Institute to Pursue Naui cation
Developments as Private Individuals.

Having tuned in and identified the
station by it's call letters, the pilot turns
on a dial on his instrument panel. AS
long as the plane is headed for the
station from which the broadcast is
being received the needle points to zero.
If the pilot is off the course to the
right the needle swings to the right and
similarly to the left. As long as the
pilot keeps the needle on the zero mark
he is headed for the station to which
his radio is tuned.
The value of the device becomes
more apparent when it is pointed out
that there are 592 commercial stations,
80 Department of Commerce stations
and many Army and Navy communi-
cations stations and Marine radio range
beaconS along the coasts and around
the shores of the Great Lakes. There
are few cities or towns in the country
without some form of radio broadcast
ing station which cannot be tuned in
for the guidance of flyers possessed of
radio homing device.
Perfection of the homing device IS
regarded by aeronautical authorities
here as one of the greatest recent con-
tributions to general flying by the pub
lie. Most of the Government develop
mnts up to now have been aimed at
the urgent needs of the air lines which
handle the Nations air transport re-
QuirementS.
Will Aid Private Flyer.
The air lines have been presented
with the radio, then with sthe radio
range beacon, which enables the pilot
to fly an accurate and safe course be-
tween fixed points in any kind of
weather, and, latest of all. the blind
landing system, which now is reaching
perfection and which permits the pilot
to land in any kind of weather without
seeing the ground.
Divorced from the pressure of their
governmental work for the professional
flyer, Col MaShbir and his group of
young scientists now are. turning their
attention to the needs of the private
flyer, who still struggles along with his
strip maps and the unsatisfactory guild
ance of railways, rivers and highways.
The radio homing equipment COM
plete has been reduced to weight of
about Is pounds and it may be installed
in any airplane.
At College Park, worlds first airport
and scene of many Of the most impor-
tant aeronautical radio achievements,
the group has torn down the shacks
which formerly housed the Department
of Commerce research apparatus and
has built small but attractive and
well-equipped research laboratory in
which to continue its work.

PARK SAVINGS BANK
COURT HEARING SET
Depositors' Committee Ar.
ranges to Bring Up Case
October rs.

The court battle of the Depositors
Committee of the Park Savings Bank to
recover as much as possible from the
wreck of this institution, whose vice
president, Robert S. StunZ. Committed
suicide, will come to hearing in Dis
trict Supreme Court October 25.
This was arranged at the District Su-
preme Court today when attorneys rep
resenting the five major parties at issue
in the suit appeared in person and after
conference with officials arranged with
the assignment commissioner for the
date of trial.
The case probably will be heard by
Justice Jesse c. Adkins.
Attorneys in Court.
Appearing at court this morning the
attorneys went first before Justice F.
D. Let's and then to the assignment
commissioner. Among the counsel at
the conferences this morning were E.
Hilton Jackson and William E. Rich
ardson for the DepositorS Committee, OF
which the chairman is Joseph w.
Thompson. who was in court; Joseph T.
Sherier and Ralph B. Flaherty. repre-
senting the directors and stockholders;
G. Baillee Springston, for the controller
of the currency; j. Bruce Kremer, rep
resenting the receiver Ct the bank. and
Charles w. Fits, of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation.
The action this morning points to
new climax in the tangled affairs OF
the Park Savings Bank, where the
shortage is now estimated to be around
S2,25O,OO0. The Depositors' Commit
tee in its efforts to collect from the
stockholders and directors is claiming
that the banks charter expired that
the directors became liquidating trus-
tees to liquidate the bank, that the
corporation resolved itself into a part
nership with each stockholder liable as
co-partner to the extent of his per-
sonal fortune. The depositors also
ask the court to oust the Treasury re-
ceiver who now is in charge OF the
bank and to replace him with a re-
ceiver to be appointed by the court.
Deny Charter Expiration.
The directors are claiming the char
ter did not expire, that the bank was
defacto corporation, with which its
customers did business and this re-
lieves individual stockholders OF llab1l-
ity as co-partners The Controller OF
the Currency is not disputing the issue
on the expiration of the charter, but
will leave that to the judge to deter
minte, as a matter of fact. claiming,
however, the Treasury Department
should liquidate the bank. The Con-
troller of the Currency has ordered a
100 per cent assessment levied on all
stockholders, and the receiver Is now
endeavoring to collect.
The receivers position Is aligned
with that of the controller Of the cur
rency and the Reconstruction Finance
CORPORATION is claiming that 1t Is not
liable because it considered that it was
dealing with a going concern when 1t
loaned money to the bank. receiving COL
lateral as security.
The Depositors' Committee is making
its fight in court after long preparation
and deliberate consideration of counsel.
The procedure was determined upon
following a series Of mass meetings OF
depositors. The bank is now in the
hands of John F. Moran, Treasury De-
partment receiver, who is proceeding
with the process Of liquidation.

cerning methods of liquor control"

City Contractor Points Out
Huge Slump in Con-

A study Of the trend Of building
conditions in the city has led A. V.
Stackhouse. indianapolis contrac-
tor 10 draw a chart which indicates
that not only is the emergency
housing plan necessary to the sur
vival Of building in the city, but also
important in the general economic
situation.
From records at city hall, Mr..
StackhOUse finds that the total
value Of building permits in the city
has dropped from S26.000,O0O in
1922 to less than $4,000, 900 for 1882.
Mr.. StaCkhouse declared he found
that while S12 600 600 was spent to
house $500 families in 1922, only
$4,000 was spent for 100 families
in 1882.
Another curve, plotted on his
chart by Mr.. Stackhouse, shows that
in the years 1922. 1923 and well into
1924, an average Of SIG 900, 600 a year
was being spent in construction en-
plOying more than 1900 men.
Now when only $1,000 0G0 a year
is being spent, less than 1900 men
in the building trades in the city are
able to get employment, according
TO Mr.. Stackhouse.
Unemployed workers in the con-
struction field number about 25 per
cent Of the total number of I'M

FREAK SHOTS ABOUND
In QUEER GOLF FEUD
All of Games Sins and Virtues
Committed as Gruver Wins
One Up From Dickey.
you never can tell about this game

X/OU never can tell about this game
u of golf. v. Calvert Dickey and
Dorie c. Gruver put on another
of their serio-comic shows yesterd day
at Washington, the twenty-ninth Of
a series of so games, and between them
they committed every golfing vice and
virtue on the calendar.
They started of on the first hole with
| one of the weirdest displays Of the
game we ever have seen, and they con-
| tinued it right up to the last hole,
where Gruver rolled in 25-footer for
a 1-up victory. That's the way they
| in the 70s or in the high S0s they
always contrive matters to finish on
| the last hole. And usually it's the
| final putt that brings home the bacon
| for one of these persistent gents.
On the very first hole, to bring home
the object lesson of never counting q
hole won until the winning putt Is
sunk, Gruver topped his tee shot down
the hill of the first tee, while Dickey
hit good one.
Gruver then proceeded to gently watt
lis second shot-a mighty wallop-all
of Is feet. Then spade shot slid on
Dickey had put his second shot on the
green and mentally, at least, had con-
ceded the hole to himself Gruver was
off the green in three, Dickey was on
| 20 feet from the cup in two, and every
thing looked rosy for good start by
/ Dickey. But Gruver knocked his fourth
shot feet from the cup and sank the
putt for S. Dickey, overanxious to
collect a birdie, was short, then over,
and finally wound up by taking four
puts for 6 to lose the hole to Cru
ver's 5.
But Dickey got 1t back on the third,
where he missed his tee shot, half-hit
his second, topped his third and sank
25-footer for . par 4. At the six
teenth his tee shot went only rs yards,
but he got q par by the simple ex-
