CHAIN BRIDGE SITE
MAY Be CHANGED
New Structure Expected to
Be Relocated to Meet
Road Conditions.

The possibility arose today that the
new Chain Bridge. to be erected across
the Potomac River to replace the pres
ent shaky structure, may be located in
a different position.
The National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, it was learned, is
studying the feasibility of relocating
Chain Bridge so that 1t may have
proper roadway connections" and fit
into the plans for the George Wash
ington Memorial Parkway The COM
mission at its meeting the middle of
this month is expected to give atten-
ton to this problem. John Nolen, city
planner of the commission. and his as
sociates are investigating the problem
While no final conclusion has been
reached. 1t is considered possible that
the new Chain Bridge might be built
in the vicinity Of the Dalecarlia water
filtration plant. near the District line
on Conduit road.
The commission has tentative plans
for superhighway between New York,
Baltimore and the South. skirting the
National Capital. A high-level bridge
at the site of Chain Bridge would form
one of the links in this chain, under
plans that have been discussed by the
commission, and Western avenue would
bring through trafflc into the District
from Ellicott City, Md, sending 1t on
southwark through Virginia
The Fine Arts Commission has not
considered detailed plans for the new
bridge as yet, and Is not likely to until
the planning commission has settled the
road connection and parkway problems.

TWO DIE IN CRASH.
Daring Weather Bureau Pilot, Wen.
singer, Killed.

CLEVELAND, September 5 R-
While a crowd of 10000 looked on In
horror, Pilot Ralph Wensinger, %, ma
tionally known for his daring flights
into high attitudes for the United
States Weather Bureau and a student
assistant. Samuel Versace, plunged to
their deaths in an airplane crash yes
terday.
The tragedy occurred during a Labor
day air exhibition at Chippewa Lake
Park, 80 miles south of here.
Miss Viola Pincombe, 81, Of Berea
Ohio, escaped possibly similar fate by
making a successful parachute jump as
part of the exhibition.
Following Miss Pinconbe's leap. Wen
singer sent the plane up to an altitude
of about 1000 feet ana was "stunting'
the ship when something went wrong
The plane went into a spin and dove
rapidly
Versaci plunged out of the craft at a
height of 200 feet and fell into Chip
pewa Lake.
A moment later, Wensinger jumped
with parachute but was trapped and
killed in the crash when the chute
snagged on the plane.
An accident was responsible for Ver-
sacis presence in the plane Starting
to leave the Cleveland Air Service Air
port. Miss Pincombe accidentally pulled
the rip cord of her parachute as she
climbed into the plane. This partially
released the parachute from its pack.
AS they were due at the celebration
in few minutes, Wensinger suggested
that Versaci go along and aid MISS
Pincombe in jumping so her parachute
would not foul the ship.

Free public employment exchanges

Every State, the Secretary said,
should have legislation providing for
persons who are no longer able on ac-
count of advanced age to earn for
themselves.
With proper functioning of adequate
Government employment agencies" she
said, greater effort can be made TO ad-

and the crown prince has assigned him
an adjutant to protect him from the

CLAIMS MACHINERY
IS RECOVERY KEY
Institute Head Says Aid
heeded-Three Codes
Submitted.

The capital goods or machinery in
dustry Of the United States must be
aided in its desperate climb from its
present depths If general business can
reach sizeable proportions, John w.
OLeary, president of the Machinery
and Allied Products Institute. advised
Malcolm Muir, deputy administrator of
the N. r. A., today during hearings on
the first three machinery codes to be
submitted to the N. r. A.
In his testimony on the codes Of the
Compressed Air Institute, the Hydraulic
Institute, and the Heating Exchange
president of the United States Chamber
Of Commerce, declared that these and
allied interests represent $50 900 high
grade workmep.
Contrary to general opinion" he
said, "the economic troubles have not
been caused so much by consumer
shrinkage as by the almost total
paralysis of the capital goods industries
Of the United States.
50 Per Cent Slump Cited.
Reliable figures show demand for
consumption goods. those the ordinary
consumer uses daily, has dropped only
about 10 per cent since the depression
On the other hand the demand for
machinery, locomotives. equipment and
other products of the capital goods in
dustries has slumpcd more than 80 per
cent. The result has been disastrous
particularly among those higher-priced
categories Of factory workers who in
the past have been among our best buy
ers and spenders."
OLeary contended that the three in
cti itIYfn yrrIrA k,o;, III
mitted are "in thorough sympathy
with the administrators position that
overproduction is dangerous and should
be avoided.
Yet" he continued" we feel conf
dent that after so many years Of in
activity in most of our American fac
tories, there does exist an acute need
for machinery replacement because of
obsolescence, depreciation and other
reasons"
Codes Submitted.
The three codes submitted today a.
standard as to hours and wages, pre-
viding for a 40-hour maximum wee
and 35 cents per hour minimum
wage To meet peak and seasonal dc
mands, these codes provide for a maxi
mum of 48 hours per week for any ST.
weeks in any six months calende-
period with one and one-third pay fer
all over 40 hours
Stipulations are contained In az
codes submitted by the Machinery AMI
Allied Products Institute declaring that
employees shall be selected. retained or
advanced on the basis Of individual
merit, without regard to their afilia
ton or non-afhliation with any labor
organization, or with any other lawful
organization. The industry has recog-
nized the right of the employe, OLeary
said. to bargain collectively with
their employer through representation
chosen by such employees from among
ercion or restraint from their employer
or from any one.
