TOSHUN BEER

NEW YORK, March 20 QNSO
A startling development in the
beer situation had developed to-
day when it was learned that
none of the high-class speakeaSieS
intend to sell the legalized bever-
age once, the State law permits
them to do so.
It is no secret that a strong
interlocking board of directors is
in control of the dozen or so really
expensive, plush-carpeted, onyx
plated drink emporiums which
have catered to Park Avenue and
that part of Broadway which can
pay a dollar for a drink.
Last night these men had a
meeting to discuss beer and the
various complications which its
legalized sale will involve.
At present the places controlled
by these men charge 81 a bottle
for beer. It is excellent beer, i'm
ported partly from Canada.
A spokesman for the organiza-
ton which runs the real good but
expensive speaks said:
"Our easiest way out is to cut
beer out as soon as it becomes
legal. People come to our places
because they know they can get
as good cocktails here as they
can in the Savoy bar in Lon
dom"

AIDES SOON

Personnel matters will get the
attention of Secretary of the
Treasury Woodin within the next
10 days.
Appointment of the assistant
secretaries and other officials
who are normally replaced at the
beginning of the Administration
has been postponed because of
the banking situation.
Woodin was understood to have
asked Undersecretary Arthur A.
Ballatine, one of the best-known
tax lawyers in the country, to
continue for year or more.
When Woodin took office he
requested Ballantine, Assistant
Secretary James Douglas, of Chi
cago, and Acting Comptroller of
the Currency F. G.. Await to re-
main temporarily because of their
intimate knowledge of the bank
ing difficulty. All remained.
Assistant Secretary Seymour
Lowman, of New York, already
has resigned and returned home.
Assistant Secretary Ferry K.
Heath, of Detroit, who is in
charge of the public building pro-
gram, probably will leave soon.

NEGROES TRIAL
ON TOMORROW

DECATUR, Ala, March 29
GN.SD.-Retrial of the first of
the seven Scottsboro negroes
whose death sentence for criminal
assault was set aside by the
United States Supreme Court will
begin tomorrow.
The case was adjourned last
night after Judge James E. Hor'
ton had denied a defense motion
to quash the indictment on the
ground that negroes were ex.
cluded from the grand jury solely
because of their color.
The recess was taken to allow
elapse of the statutory "a hours
which, under Alabama law, must
pass before a venire may be sum-
moned.
The prosecutor, headed by
Thomas E. Knight, jr., attorney
general of Alabama, elected to try
Haywood Patterson first on the

him with implication in the al
legged attack on two young white
girls on a freight train between
Chattanooga and Huntsville two
years ago. The court is guarded

100 FACE GRILL
IN SACK DEATH

NEW YORK, March 20 Q.NS0.
Every facility of the New York
police department was thrown
into the breach today in an ct.
fort to run down the killers Of
little Barbara Wiles, 5-year-old
Brooklyn girl, who was Strangled
by a fiend in the cellar Of her
home yesterday.
Forty-three men and boys with
police records for abnormal crimes
were rounded up for questioning,
and the police dragnet was out
for another $50 who have been
questioned in connection with
similar cases during the past two
years.
Barbara's death marked the
fourth fiend murder of little girls
in Brooklyn within the past two
years. Three others have been
injured in similar attacks during
this time.
After questioning the 43 suS-
poets, police apparently were no
nearer a solution of the crime
than when the tiny body was
first discovered by the little girls
mother within a few minutes Of
the murder.

U. S. How to Make Films;
CritiCiSeS Stars Hat

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 20
G.N.S0 S0.-George Bernard Shaw,
noted playwright and wit. today
was en- route home to England
via New York, after his first
American visit, leaving behind a
promise that some day he would
return here and "show how
movies are made"
The 77-year-old, tall, slender
Imp of the Theater" crowded
into one day all the major thrills
that might be found in one OF
his own hilarious dramas.
He made a successful forced
landing in an airplane at Malibu
Beach, movie resort colony; ne
gave advice freely to screen
stars; and, escorted by motorcycle
officers, he was sped by automo-
bile from the Metro-G -Goldwyn-
Mayer studio to the liner Empress
of Britain, in Los Angeles Harbor.
Enjoys Forced Landing
The forced landing OF the
plane, en- route here from the
San Simeon ranch of William
Randolph Hearst, where Shaw
had been a guest for the past
four days, was described as an
unexpected pleasure" 1t was
necessitated by a fog that blan-
keted local airports.
The advice to screen celebrltleS
was climaxed when Shaw told
Alice Brady that her hat was
"abomiable." ,
The motorcycle escort drew
from Shaw the observation:
"This is the only time they
ever called out the police to get
me out of town."
Even newspaper reporters did
not escape his raillery.
Criticizes Movies
Mention of English motion pic
lures drew both caustic criticism
and a promise. He said:

make movies over there. When

DRASTIC STEPS
LIKELY To GUT
PRODUCTION
80 to 60-Day Shut Down Pro-
posed as First Move for
Sterilization

A thirty or sixty-day shut
down of all the flush or flowing
wells in the country to give a
breathing spell to the industry
pending formulation of a concrete
Stabilizing program is being con-
sidered by Secretary of Interior
1ckeS.
Ickes suggested this at his con-
ferences with representatives Of
the giant corporate oil interest,
the independents and of the gov
ernors of all oil-producing States
on the need of production cur
tailment. Such action would cut
the approximately $3.50, ,000-barrel
daily production at present in
half.
Industry Still Divided
The majority of delegates and
Industrial leaders who have been
comforting with the Secretary indi-
Gated they would favor such a
move if the Administration
thought it necessary.
Members of the So-called in
Surgent group, opposing the ma
jority program for Government
control, said they were certain
such a move would be the out
come of the conferences with
Ickes.
Three days of wrangling over
an oil program found the various
representatives no nearer an
agreement.
The plan of Secretary Ickes
was expected to be laid before
all of the nearly 100 representa-
tives at meeting this afternoon.
It was embraced in a mild de-
gree by the governmental aid
program submitted by the ma
jority of the representatives to
1ckes.
This program would provide
for the setting up of a commits
sion of oil producing State rep
resentatives with a Federal UNI
pire at the head. The umpire
would sit in on the conferences
Of the commission and person
ally represent the President.
Must Work Out Plan
It would be the duties of the
commission and umpire to work
out g production curtailment
plan consistent with consumption.
and the commission members
would be expected to bring about
a shutting down of flush wells
when necessary to keep the pro-
duction at the desired level.
Most of the representatives at
tending the conference with the
exception of the 1nsurgent group,
favored this plan, although they
were not opposed to the possible
moves of Ickes in securing through
the States complete shutdown
Of flush wells to provide time
for putting some concrete plan
in action, possibly the program
of the major representatives.

A. IN the aut0giro, the principle Is that
OF . moving rather than q 1xed wing.
The direction Of movement. however. Is
radically different, the rotating airfoils
being mounted fn somewhat the same
manner as are the blades Of side-wheel

sharp contrast to the autogiro, in
which the windmill operates BY self
inherent principles Of authorization
and power is applied through q con-
ventional airplane propeller.
The paddle-wheel type, known as the
cyclogiro, has been studied BY the Ma
tionAl Advisory Committee for Aero
l1autfcs, the Federal Governments
aerun&uttoal research laboratory, and
determined to be aerodynam.cally
sound. It has been determined that
hovering flight, vertical ascent and fair
forward speed may be obtained with
out great power and that the wings
viii auto-rotate in power-od glide.
The N. A. O. A. has found that q
300-horsepower cyclogiro having a
maximum weight OF 5000 pounds should
be able to develop maximum speed
of about 100 miles per hour, allowing
for loss Of 30-horsepower from friction
of gears and other wastage. A verti-
cal climb Of about TOO feet per minute
should be possible, but the maximum
rate Of climb would be, as In the cahe
! Of the autogiro and the airplane, on
an inclined path.
Although the cyclogiro is just now
beginning to attract public attention,
it has been In process of development

try for the past five years. Work with
