Child Who Was Rushed
 l,40O Miles May Have Been Saved

Baltimore, Md, Dec 29.-(UPl l-Surgeons at Johns Hopkins hos pital to-day successfully removed q brain obstruction which had. threatened the life of five months~ old Sue Trammel of Houston, Tex.
 The child was rushed here by airplane early in the week for the delicate operation, which was per- formed by Dr Walter R. Dandy world-famous brain specialist.
 Hospital authorities described the child's condition as good, but ex-i plained that the ultimate outcome of the operation could not be fore- told at this time.
 The operation, one of the most difficult known to medical science required about two hours.
 The obstruction which was re- moved had caused a condition known as hydrocephalus, or water. on the brain. This malady was fatal to another child in the Tram-. mel family several months ago.
 "The operation has been com- pleted and the child's condition is good" the hospital announced. "The operation may be termed suc-s cessful. It required approximately two hours

National Labor Board Scores the Employers

The National Labor Board an- nouncing its decision in the Mass achusetts truck strike, ruled to-day that the strike shall be ,termipat- ed immediately and all strikers re- turned to their former positions without discrimination.
 'It is the uncompromising attl- tude of the employers which has prevented a settlement of this strike and has defeated all efforts at mediation" said the boards de- cision, signed by Chairman Robert F. Wagner. ''In times such as these the public must demand that both parties manifest a will to agree, and adopt and cooperative atti- tude without which the recovery program cannot succeed. "In the interests of national recovery, the National Labor Board rules:

 "2. All striking employees shall be immediately returned to their former positions without discrim- ination.

admiral said. He declined to reveal the exact speed expected from the plane but said that it was "surpris- ing."s
 Since 1928 the navy has used single super charged motors. The double arrangement it was ex- plained, would increase the density of the charge which enters the ex-' plosion chamber, enabling much greater speed at high attitudes.
 The admiral said $5,200,000 of the $5.5OO.000 allotted his depart ment under the National Industrial Recovery act for the construction work has been spent and the re- maining contracts will be awarded within a few days.
 The funds are being used to build 100 new planes, new propellors, ra- dios, and other equipment. which will be used largely for replacement of obsolete material.
 Commenting on the scheduled flight next month from .Califorpna to Hawaii by six naval flying boats under command of Rear Admiral Alfred w. Johnson, the aeronautics chief said it was mot a stunt" but ward stick" to measure the effi- cheney of the craft.
 The admiral said a contract was recently awarded to the Consoli- dated, Aircraft corporation, Buffalo, N. r., for construction of 21 more flying boats. They will be similar to those used in the Hawaiian flight.
 He said that these new planes would mark the first application of the navy's new policy to build no more biplane flying boats. Double wings, he explained, cauao the craft to sit too low on. the water surface in case of forced landings, which would render them virtually useless.

Boston, Dec 29-(UP)-Mrs Frederick P. Bagley. president of the Massachusetts Council of Wo. men and Children in Industry. has declined to serve on the board of the motion picture code authority.
 {. In response to a telephone mes- sage from Washington, Mrs Bagley wired Deputy Administrator Sol A. Rosenblatt of the MIRA late yester- day that she could not accept the post because ''the present code practically legalizes block booking against which monopolistic prac- jtice we continue to protest vigor- ously."
 Dr A.. Lawrence Lowell, presi- dent-emeritus of Harvard univer- sity, recently refused the same ap- pointment-made at President Roosevelt's personal request-on much the same ground. pr Low ell in a letter to Administrator Johnson said the code gave "a certain legal sanction" to block booking and blind buying.

 President Roosevelt

New York, Dec 29.-(UP)-Wo- men of New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and Milwaukee believe the United States is on its way out of the depression and that the country will be more prosperous than ever before.
 Their beliefs were revealed to- day in a survey of 10000 women in the four cities, forming cross section of homes of average wealth, greater than average and less than average, by Bernard F. <Gimbell, president of Gimbel Bros, Inc, at Q luncheon at the Waldorf-Astoria.
 The women's vote, Gimbell said, was. overwhelmingly ives" to the question Are we on the way out of the depression" The percen- tage of affirmative votes ranged from 78 in New York to 90 in Mill waukee.
 Eighty-five per cent of the wo- men believe the country will be better off after the depression than it was in it's most prosperous years. Other findings of the sur vey: '
 Ninety-two per cent believe that everyone, or at least some specific group, have benefited from the MIRA. c
 Ninety-three per cent believe they should support only firms loyal to the MIRA. Seventy-nine per cent think the MIRA is not contrary to our form of government.
 Fifty-two per cent believe that raising prices will help bring about recovery.
 Thirty-one per cent said work ing members of their family had more leisure time on account of the MIRA.
 Eighty eight per cent think the quality of goods under the MIRA is better or the same.
 In the group having more leis- ure time, 29 per cent of the New Workers said they spent 1t loafing, 12 per cent said they spent 1t in housework. Tn Milwaukee, how ever, only 16 per cent said they spent their new leisure loafing and 21 per cent worked in their homes.
 One woman said she spent her leisure time complaining, and a Rittsburg woman said she spent hers worrying whether her firm was going broke.

And Now Tallant Tubbs Is
 a Full Pledged Legiti- mate Actor

New Haven, Dec 29-(UP)-Tal- lant Tubbs, youthful Californian
 who boiled 750,000 votes against William G. McAdoo in the l9S2 senatorial campaign, believes poll tics lis a preparation for the stage and the stage can contribute to the
 rising statesman"
 Tubbs, making his first profes-
 sional appearance before the ioot- lights, played a. modest role Tn
 "Dark Victory" a drama by George Brewster, Jr, which opened at the Shubert last night for two-day run before going to Broadway. It's not much of part, Tubbs admitted, "but I'm giving it every thing I've got in the hope it can prepare me for substantial roles later"
 However, his aspiration for greater things on the stage does not necessarily mean he will desert pol tiles.
 "Of course not" he declared, "No one who is ever in politics loses the fascination of public life and have had my share of experience, having. been elected at 27 a state senator in California.
 "Both politics and drama require eloquence, a knowledge of public address, and the knack of convinc- | ing audiences. There is no contra l.
 diction between the stage and poll tics"
 Tubbs, who became interested in amateur tleatricals while at school In Carpinteria, California, and the Country playhouse there, appears | in "Dark Victory in the role of a playboy friend of Edith Traherne
 a care-free park avenue beauty, played by Kathering Emery. He appears on the scene at intervals to keep the heroine from being bored to distraction when she sud- denly develops a brain malady and an aversion to everything she once enjoyed. The play closes here tonight to leave for New York.

 Al CapOne .

Chicago, Dec 29-(UP)-John Dillinger, 31-year-old Indiana out law, was listed to-day in a new issue of the police "Who's Who in Crime" as Chicago's public enemy No. 1. 4
 Dillinger succeeds to the doubt full distinction once accorded to Al Capone and later to Murray Hum- phries. Capone is serving prison term on income tax evasion con- viction and Humphries is sought on a similar charge.
 The bulletin revealed most of the known public enemies have formed into two "crime syndi- cates," one headed by Dillinger and the other containing members of the Touhy gang.
 Two women, described as sweet hearts of members of the Dillinger gang, were listed eighth and ninth on the gang roll. They were Pearl Elliott ands Mary Kinder. Second to seventh places, inclu- sive, are accorded members of an escaped band or Indiana convlcts who killed a Lima, O., sheriff in liberating Dillinger last fall.
 The Dillinger gangsters in the order of their ranking are: Harry Pierpont, John Hamilton, Charley Makley, Russell Clark, Walter Det- rick and Joseph Fox.
 Tenth to seventeenth places. in- elusive, are awarded to Touhy gangsters as follows: Tommy Touhy, Charley Connors, Edward LaRue, Basil Banghart, Charley McGuire, John Klutas. W. A. Hen- drickson and Ludwig, Schmidt.
 Humphries dropped from first to 18th place on the list. Homer Van Meter, Joseph Burns, Merritt R Longbrake and George Nelson. all sought on bank robbery charges complete the list.
