FINANCES MADE
MOLEY RESIGN,
FRIENDS SAY
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Governmental economy was one
of the primary factors which cost
the Administration the services Of
Raymond Moley, the former re-
puted master mind of President
Roosevelt's so-called "brain trust"
according to claims made by
sources close to Moley.
He rose from a professorship at
New York college to national
prominence as chief economic ad-
wiser to Mr.. Roosevelt, but re-
Gently abandoned the post of AS
SiStant Secretary of State for the
more lucrative position of editor
on a Vincent Astor-Sponsored
publication.
Couldn't Stand Strain
Moley couldn't stand the finan-
cial strain, according to his close
friends. He was, they assert, a
victim of a situation which makes
financial sacrifice a requisite to
service on behalf of the public in
the Federal Government.
Wages paid to high Federal Off
cials generally are 100 to $50 per
cent less than those paid eXecu-
tives of large corporations or the
incomes of successful lawyers,
many of whom drift to govern
mental work, it was pointed out.
In the case Of Moley, his in
come dropped by half when he
left private life to become Assis-
tant Secretary of State. The
salary for the latter post is $4,000
a year, the same as that Of a
consul-general, first class, in the
diplomatic service. But Moley
didn't even receive the $4,000.
Along with other government en-
ployes, he suffered a IS per cent
pay slash.
Compelled to Write
With his family on the coast,
a residence in New York and
hotel expenses here, Moley finally
was forced to resort to writing
newspaper articles in order to
make ends meet.
When, on top Of the financial
sacrifice, he found himself the
butt of what he regarded as un-
justified criticism for his activi-
ties, particularly his trip to Lon
don and the friction with Secre-
tary of State Hull, he became, to
quote one of his friends, "fed up"
Thus, when Astor offered Mo-
ley what the latter jokingly re-
ferred to as more money than
he knew existed" he acquiesced
willingly. The first issue of the
new magazine will appear soon.

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 0.N.S0.
Cuba today is a country brought
to chaos because President &C.
rardo Machado did not under
stand boys.
If the exiled President had only
seen that an uprising of univer-
sity students was only a youthful
way Of letting off steam, much Of
the discomfort of the early days
of the Cuban revolution might
have died.
When in 1880 the students of
Havana paraded in protest against
the appointment of DR.. Ricardo
Martinez as their dean, he should
have let them yell themselves
blue in the face: Down with
Machadow to get it out of their
systems.
Killing Doomed Him
Instead, he set the police upon
them and the student, Trejo, was
killed. Once blood has flowed it
is difficult to dam it up. Ma
GQaQOS pOlC1Ca1 COLIN was udlAe0
with this episode.
When he was first inaugurated,
Che whole island of Cuba rejoiced.
I remember congratulating Mrs.
Baldomero Grau, his daughter, on
that occasion, saying that her IA
cher was "our most popular presi-
dent" She answered:
ooh yes, now. wonder how
long it will last, though. You
know how changeable CubanS
are"
Began to Lose Ground
But all Of this went to the gen.
erals head. He thought he could
do whatever he liked.
Then the United States raised
The sugar tariff in 1880. Sugar,
Che backbone Of the islands pros
perity, was selling at its very low
est. The higher tariff was death
blow. The economic situation
grew worse and worse.
Yet, with all Of this, he might
have survived, if he had been fore
sighted enough to let the youth OF
Cuba march and sing itself tired.

Some improvement.

CASPER, Wyo., December 3o.-Wyo-
ming will greet the new year with
conditions substantially improved over
those Of IL months ago. Business and
industry both reflect gains. Agricul-
ture still has its bad spots, but Is look
ing up. The financial picture affords
more security. as the result Of Federal
aid for live stock producers, home and
ranch owners. Employment meets with
seasonal setbacks, but, instead of mount
ing relief rolls which prevailed last
Winter, the majority of workers are
profitably if not prosperously engaged,
thanks to public and civil works.
Business Improvement was brought to
attention forcibly during the holiday
shopping season, when increases ranged
from 10 to so per cent over last
years totals. Many were inclined to
credit most Of the gain to the civil
works program, but others noted also
q renewed confidence. Under expansion
Of civil works, airport improvements
sponsored by the Aeronautics Branch
Of the Department Of Commerce are
getting under way throughout the
State. These projects will add 720 men
to public pay rolls.
Such work win help to offset the
decline in employment resulting from
the completion of sugar factory cam
paigns in five communities. Many Of
these workers will go on the unern-
ployed lists.
Live stock interests have enjoyed the
encouragement that goes with a mild
requirements. Low prices for cattle
continue to exert q depressing inf1u-
ence on this branch Of the States

ARKANSAS LIMITS
LEGISLATURE COSTS
Special Session Called for
January 2 Must Keep With

Rnscial pispatch 70 The srsr.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, December 30
Gov. J. Marion Futrell has issued q
proclamation calling for special ses-
sion Of the Le2islat ture to meet January
2. He has limited the expense of the
session to Sl200G The main purpose
Of the session is to consider highway
debt -refunding legislation.
Other matters include extension Of
the period for redemption of tax-for-
feited land and to provide funds for the
operation Of the State penal system.
Gov. Futrell said that the subcom-
mittee. acting for the State, and the
holders Of road bonds. through their
committee, mad reached an agreement
ny which foreclosure in road improve
ment district bonds will be postponed
for IS years. There was default in
the bonds on August l, 1882, and to
foreclose on them would mean practi-
cally the confiscation of thousands Of
homes in 81 counties.
Although the legaliZation of the sale
of liquor in Arkansas is not included
in the call it is likely to come up the
first day of the session. The Governor
has announced that he is against the
raising of automobile license fees or the
placing of an additional tax on gasoline.
He said the method of raising addi-
tional funds was up to the Legislature.
Several Representatives and Senators
have suggested the legaliZation of the
sale Of liquor and pari-mutuel betting
on horse races as the best means.
In Gov. Futrells call for the special
session one of the duties outlined was
''to provide funds for the operating ex-
penses for the penal institutions of the
State for the year 1884" No method is
specified. and 1t is believed that this
will be the loophole through which the
vets will try to push legaliZation of
liquor. OF course, there will be bitter
opposition, but sentiment favoring
liquor seems to be growing.
Arkansas spent its most cheerful
Christmas since 1929 The C. w. A.
has approved projects calling for ex-
penditure Of more than S10,00000O and
about 10000 are employed on nearly
5000 projects. This expenditure was
reflected in retail sales the week before
Christmas. One Little Rock store led

sales over last year.

mer, will be assigned as superintendent
of the Naval Academy, as the relief Of
Rear Admiral Thomas C. Hart, who is

Rear Admiral George w. Laws, COM
mandant of the 18th Naval District
at San Francisco, will both be placed
upon the retired list of the Navy on
March l, 1884, on account of tage. 1t
is understood to be likely that Vice
Admiral Frank H. Brumby, now in
command of the scouting force, will
succeed Admiral Willard at Norfolk.
Other important shore billets will have
to be filled as a result of the ordering
Of those now occupying them to sea.

DENY PLAGIARISM
Admit Only That Many Ideas
Are Based on European

By the Associated Press.
Although admitting that many Of
their ideas are based on inventions and
advances made in Europe, none Of the
men who design and build American
motor cars will admit they are mechan
ical plagiarists or followers. Conced-
ing that the European automotive en-
gineer has led the way in many motor
car developments, the American de-
signers contend that more rapid ad-
vancement has characterized the build
ing of motor cars in the United States
during the last decade than in Europe.
The American engineer ADMITS that
the first self-propelled motor vehicle
was invented by French army officer
that German engineer made the first
practical application of the gasoline
engine to a more modern type of motor
car and that the recent innovation CT
individual wheel springing is an i'm
portation from Europe.
Point to U. S. Improvements.
They point. however to the develop
ment of mechanical starters; four wheel
brakes and numerous other outstand-
ing Improvements of the last few years
as devices born chiefly from the work
of engineers in American research lab
oratories.
The engineers are not disposed to be
particularly jealous of their accom-
plishmentS; theirs is fraternity that
finds inspiration in the achievements
of its many members As the Ameri-
can mechanical expert has borrowed
l.
clan. so, too, have the foreign designers
benefited from the laboratory work Of
the men who design motors and other
vital devices for the American-made
motor car.
One of the things automotive au-
thorities of the United States for sew
eral years have been trying to develop
for application to automobiles on a
practical basis is the Diesel type motor.
The Diesel engine, Of course, Is for
eign-born power plant. There have
been many experimental cars powered
with such motors, but the industry has
not yet regarded the result as slIff1-
GENTLY satisfactory to warrant produc-
ton on a commercial scale.
The experimental work Of the indus
try with Diesel type engines suffered a
severe blow in the untimely death of
Sdpl L. W. WOOlSOiI, NIlO IldNl O6NSlOptO
a Diesel for airplanes 1t was while
flying plane propelled BY one Of these
motors that Woolson crashed into the
side of mountain during a snowstorm
and was Iilled. The crash proved one
of Woolson's oft-repeated claims for the
Diesel type engine-tfat 1t entirely re-
moved the fire hazard because it re-
quired no ignition system.
More Advancement Seen.
Engineers who boast OF the achieve
nents Of the American laboratory
workers during the last 10 years assert
that the next will see even greater
mechanical advances. One volume pro-
ducer already has announced a car de-
signed along lines which the trade gen.
orally has not looked for within the
next decade.
It is an ultra-streamlined type, with
the engine mounted farther forward
than in the conventional types. It in
corporates most OF the attributes of the
-talked-about dream cars and is
to have a companion of "tear-drop"
design in a smaller model of the same
line.

I almost hesitate to say few words
about the springs of the car, because
it sounds like a dull subject. The
truth is the springs are among the
cars most intriguing units. They have
so much to do with our comfort and
security aWheel.
Did you know, for instance, that II
springs break on some cars the brakes
are thrown out of adjustment? Did
you know that weak or overlubricated
springs will invite all or many of the
most serious steering troubles, including
front wheel shimmy?
We will hear much about springs this
year because of the introduction in
America Of independent front springs.
of knee action Springs are of two
typeS-leaf and coil. Cars have former
ly used leaf springs exclusively. These
are merely sheaf of long. narrow, fiat
strips Of steel. They cushion shocks
when compressed because of their in
herent resistance to bending and to
friction between the leaves. Cars strike
bumps easier the softer this spring
action. but there is definite limit to
this softness beyond which engineers
cannot go. With a coil spring the
cushioning effect eliminates friction.
The action is similar to bending q bar
Of steel.
In the new knee action" where each
front wheel strikes obstacles inde-
pendently of the other. engineers are
using each type Of spring. But, since
extreme softness is used in either type,
the motorist will not have to give
springs so much attention. Extreme
softness is used in either type The
coil spring needs no fabrication and
the leaf type will need only enough
to prevent squeaking.
Because the springs on your cur
rent car we're designed to function best
with just enough lubricant to prevent
squeaking, it should be obvious from
the above sketchy idea Of springing
