REPEAL HEAMADEl. |.
AT OHIO SESSION
Second Resolution Proposes
Ratification of Lame

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. January S-Two
resolutions, one proposing ratification
of the "lame duck" amendment TO the
Federal Constitution and the other
proposing repeal Of constitution prohi-
bition in Ohio, were introduced at the
opening session of the ninetieth Ohio
General Assembly yesterday.
Both resolutions were presented In
the House of Representatives, where
Gus Kasch, Democrat, of Summit
County created a brief furore when he
made an unsuccessful attempt TO intro
duce q resolution condemning certain
activities Of Gov. George White, also
Democrat. The House also received a
bill by initiative petition TO legalize 2.75
per cent beer.
KaSch's criticism Of Gov. White was
based on the activities of the Governor
and Democratic State Chairman Henry
G. Drummer in attempting to organise
the Legislature. He asked the House
70 adopt a resolution summoning the

Secretary Of State clarence J. Brown.
Fho was presiding prior to organization,

When Kasch persisted in efforts to
speak. Brown told the sergeant alarms
to seat him or remove him from the
floor" Kasch took his seat.
The repeal resolution proposed to put

NEW YORK.-Man-hour is another

It Is the reduction of the number of

much Of today's troubles, and perhaps
even greater ones in the future-trou-

At Columbia University, where the

hours.
The production line on this chart
goes upward, the man-hour line down
ward. For instance, technocracy says
1929 eight-hour days, to fabricate an
automobile in 1904, whereas today it
requires only 80 hours, or Tx eight
hour days.
Employment Decrease Cited.
In 1920, Scott says, it actually re-
ouired 100000 workmen to fabricate all
the automobiles produced. II the meth
DDS of 1904 had been used to produce
the same number OF automobiles, the
industry would have needed 2,94O,000
men instead of the 100000. These fig

advance In mechanization, and Scott

INSTALL NEW RADIOS
TO COMBAT STORMS
Planes on Cairo-Cape Town Route
to Have Medium and Short
Wave Equipment.

LONDON (P.-To combat the effect
of Africa's electrical storms on radio
communication, equipment of new de-
sign will be fitted on four aircraft to
be flown on the Cairo-Cape Town route.
It includes provision for telephone
and telegraph communication ON both
medium and short wave lengths and for
direction finding.
Storms over Africa were found to
render communication impossible on
medium wave lengths for considerable
periods and the new equipment Is the
result Of tests carried on for six
months.
The new equipment consists of
combined transmitter and receiver COW
ering the ranges Of 40-80 meters for
short-wave communication and 500
1000 meters for medium COM
munication.
In tests, long-distance contacts were
established while aircraft was over the

BALTIMORE. January 3.-The Cen
eral Electric Co. yesterday filed in
United States District Court o petition
for receivership Of the United Railways
g. Electric Co., operator Of trolley and
bus service in Baltimore.
The traction company's board Of d.
rectors, in statement issued by Lucien
s. Storrs, president of the concern, ad-
mitted its inability to continue opera
tens and authorized the filing Of answers
admitting the necessity for receivership.

the General Electric Co.. to which the
concern owes less than $1,000, filed the
petition with Judge William C. Coleman
in his chambers, as no session Of court
was held, due to the holiday.
Storrs' statement said the banks
financing the traction company had been
willing to continue their support, but
the Consolidated Gas, Electric Light e.
Power Co, which has four-month bill
against the United, had determined
that it could no longer allow these ar
rearS to continue without endangering
It's rights and so advised the railways
company"
The statement also said only the COM
pany's security holders will be affected
by the receivershtp, that the company's S
affairs have been so arranged in recent
months that its employees, its banks,
the city and all its general creditors
will be protected fully against any loss.

New Yale Foot Ball Coach
Taught University Foot

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, January 3.-Selec-
ton Of Reginald D. Root as head foot
ball coach at Yale was received with
qualification here. where the enthusiasm
and personality of the lanky blonde
youth warmed the hearts of the ex-
preSsive Latin youth and left its i'm
press on the memory Of the Mexican
people.
Root was confronted with the ex-
tremely difficult task of creating q foot
ball team out of students who did not
even know what foot ball was when he
came here as the University of Mexico
coach In 1929. Despite all obstacles he
turned out a remarkably smooth If in
experienced eleven before he left at the
end of the following year to return to
Yale.
The most elementary points Of grid
iron play, were dwelt upon by Root
after he succeeded in organizing his
team In September, 1929.

College, the first international inter-
collegiate game ever played in Mexico.
was but month distant. Louisiana
defeated Mexico. SO to O, but month
later Roots eleven held the stronger
Mississippi College eleven to % to
before 10000 spectators.
The Mexican players went into that
game with small Mexican flags under
their jerseys, and the entreaty Of Root
to get In there and die for dear old
Mexico'-a plea that naturally lost
some of its fervor in being translated
into Spanish for Mexican youths who
up TO that time had little feeling, ath-
letically speaking, for their alma mater
Foot ball under Roots guidance took
in Mexico, however, and in one short
year gained almost as much newspaper
space as the centuries -old bull fights.

pie don't have revolutions" the then
President Portes Gil said, enthusiast

tomobile, since it omits parts and ac-
cessory makers and others who had a
share in making the finished machine.
Hay says the implications of such a
figure are that the automobile furnished
employment to but 210, 1000 men, whereas
the total figure was in the millions
when it is considered that huge numbers
we're required to man the service sta
tions, rubber tire factories and SO on.
Hay adds that a composite figure for
a whole industry cannot be fairly given
due to the variation from plant to plant
in efficiency.
Productivity Varies.
The figures of L. P. Afford and j. Z.
Hannum, who have done much research
into man-hours, show wide divergences
of productivity in four industries For
instance, for blast furnaces the range of
rates of production was found to be
from l45 tons per thousand man -hourS
for d group of nine plants to 1913 tons
per thousand man-hours for a group Of
seven plants.
IN the petroleum industry a wide
range was found, a group of nine re-
flneries producing 633 barrels Of crude
petroleum per thousand man-hours, as
compared to 141 1923 barrels for a group
OF tnree TennerieS.
Deductions Disputed.
Technocracy says 81 men could have
produced all the bricks the United
States used in 1929 if the industry had
operated with the best methods. Hay
says such statements imply the impossi-
bility of actually attaining such a mark,
despite the fact this obviously would
require a revolution in the brick indus
try. The New Jersey Brick Manufac-
turers' Association has taken exceptions
to technocracy's figures on bricks.
Many observers agree with technoc-
racy as to the increased efficiency Of
labor as aided by the machine, but, Hay
says, they likewise object to the selec-
ton of a few examples of chronological
gains as representative Of all industry.

Famous Minneapolis Land
mark to FalI-Taxes in
1880 TotaIed $7,158.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, January 3
(N.ANA0.-The most famous land
mark of Minneapolis-the 81 1000, 900
mansion built on the shores of Lake
Of The Isles by Charles G. Gates, son
Of the famous "Bet-a-Million" Gates
Is to fall before the hammer and the
crowbar of the wrecker.
The palatial structure, built In 1914,
when the younger Gates married a
Minneapolis girl, never really has been
occupied.
Mr.. Gates died before it was COM
pleted. He never saw the interior.
His wife married again not long after
and moved to New Britain, Conn.
Vacant Until 1924.
The huge home remained vacant un-
til 1924, when it was purchased by DR..
D. F. Brooks of St. Paul, prominent
lumberman. But DR.. Brooks never
lived in it, either. He enjoyed it only
as a hobby, as a place to spend leisure
hours with friends. There is a tale
that he never spent a night In the
mansion.
Three years ago DR.. Brooks died.
Efforts to dispose Of the home to clubs
and semi-public organizations failed.
The heirs now have nearly completed
plans to wreck the building and open
its spacious grounds as home sites in
the heart Of the city's most exclusive
residential section.
The tax bill on an unused property,
definitely classed as white elephant"
since the death of DR.. Brooks, is be-
heved to have had some bearing on the
plan to demolish 1t. In 1880 the taxes
paid on the mansion and on the
grounds amounted to $7,l58.
Light fixtures and most of the furni-
ture were imported from England and
France. A pipe organ was installed in
the. drawing room, which itself Is 80
feet long and az wide, about the size
Of small house.
Sold Most OF Furnishings.
Since the death of DR.. Brooks, his
heirs have sold virtually all the furni-
ture, draperies and art treasures with
which the mansion had been fitted out
in accordance with the plans Of Mr.
Gates. Some OF these were purchased
for art collections and others by deal
ers In antiques, while many pieces went
directly into the homes of wealthy peo-
pie In Minneapolis and elsewhere.
Now, aside from the furniture in the
caretaker,s quarters, the furnishings
consist only of an organ in q rose
colored music room, two four-poster oak
bedsteads and chests of drawers In two
large guest bedrooms on the second
floor, and two statues In a flrst-floor
hallway.

FOOD FOR DR|F TIERS
BANNED BY SOVIET.

Long a HindranCe to
Railway Traffic.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Soviet Russia's new order that all
Russians must have passports and pol
Icy Of careful checking by the police
SO that only those who work viii eat is
part of movement to stamp out the
spirit of wanderlust which has hindered
railway traffic since the initiation of
the bolsheviSt regime.
Russian trains, freight and passenger
trains alike, have been crowded with
wanderers ever since the Cars armies
began to disintegrate The roofs and
platforms of many passenger trains
have been filled with men, women and
children floating aimlessly from place
to place.
Drifting Becomes Habit.
In the early days of the Soviet regime
many of the informal travellers really
were ex-sold--r3 seeking their homes
and relatives. They feigned comrade-
ship with the trainmen and travelled
in such large numbers that railway off,
cials could not have hindered their
movements.
In the famine years of 1921 and 1922
there was flight from the parched
wheat areas that officials made little
effort to check.
But travel became a habit with a
great army Of hoodlums and ne'er-do-
wells who have drifted from place to
place during the four years the new in
dustrial plan has been operating and
have worked only long enough in any
one place to get clothing and money
to carry them on their pilgrimage.
Complain Of Turnover.
Foreign engineers in charge Of con-
struction Of new industries have re-
peatedly said the tremendous turnover
in labor was their chief handicap
Workmen, in turn, frequently have
charged that insufficient food and sup
plies make 1t necessary for them to
move on in search of better living
In recent years the tremendous growth
Of Moscow taxed housing facilities and
made the capital a refuge for non
workers who live by their wits and are
able to get food cards even If they are
not workers.
Coincidentally with the passport order
the Soviet regime has also announced
that women of working age who are
not gainfully employed shall be denied
food privileges, but may buy food in
the open markets, where prices are pro-
hibitive. This order affects home
makers.
