TRADE SECRETS HELD
VALUABLE BY BAKERS

Fear that trade secrets" might be
made public has prevented Washington
bakers from throwing open their books
to Assistant Corporation Counsel Robert
E. Lynch, the bread price investigator
disclosed today.
1.-The bakeries have asked me to
promise that their formulas will not be
made public before turning over their
books for cost accounting purposes, .
said Lynch. II could not give that
promise without the authority Of Chair
man King Of the Senate District Com
mittee for whom am conducting this
investigation and therefore will confer
with him late today on their PROPOSE
tion.''
Senator King threatened last week to
force the bakers to allow Lynch's audi
tors to make the cost audit. Their re-
fusal to give Information as to cost OF
ingredients, manufacturing, selling and
distributing had brought Lynch's In
vestigation to q StandStill.
The Assistant Corporation Counsel
said the bakers had informed him their
trade formulas were secrets that they
guarded jeaiously and II the figures fell
into the halle Of competitors 1t would
do them tI1ep1rahle harm.

Behncke Says Transport
Owners Threaten to
Fire Members.
CLAIMS SECRET BONUSES
CREATING Discomfort
National Labor Board Expected to
Act on Brief This Week.
Witnesses Listed.

Charges that air line transport oper-
ators are resorting to intimidation and
coercion to prevent the organization Of
air transport pilots were made in a
brief filed today with the National La
Dor Board.
The brief. filed by David L. Behncke,
president Of the National Air Line Pilots
charges that the tactics OF
the operators already have resulted In
the resignation from the pilot group
of seven members.
In his brief Behncke gives instances
of alleged coercion, and cites instances
which have resulted in The resignation
from the association Of pilots whose
Jobs had been threatened.
The National Labor Board Is expected
to act upon the brief this week.
Behncke and other pilots will be called
before the board this evening and a
final decision on the matter may be
reached by Wednesday. The Labor
Board has had under consideration for
several weeks labor problems affecting
airline pilots and has succeeded in
ment of threatened strike by the 600
pilots now employed by air transport
companies.
Witnesses Listed.
Behncke, acting on behalf Of the as
sociation. which includes in its men,
bership practically all Of the air trans
port flyers. filed his brief shortly before
noon today with DR.. w. M. Leiserson,
secretary of the National Labor Board.
He filed duplicate copy with Edward
McGrady, deputy N. r. A. administra-
tor, who has ben working on the air
transport code.
Behncke, in his brief. submitted the
names of pilots and witnesses who he
said would be willing to testify that
direct defiance Of provisions of N. r.
A. codes intended to protect the rights
of employees to organize and improve
working conditions. Pilots have been
called on the carpet" before air trans
port line officials, asked whether they
were members Of the association, which
Is an affiliate of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor, and advised that their
jobs were in danger if they persisted
in efforts to organize and oppose pro-
visions of the N. r. A. code submitted
by the air transport companies.
Bonuses Charged.
Efforts have been made to create
dissension among pilots on one large
air line by payment of secret bonuses
to pilots who would withdraw from the
Air Line Pilots Association, Behncke
charged in his brief On another line,
an official of the company is said to
have called a pilotmember of the as
sociation and told him that 80 per cent
Of the association members had resigned.
The pilot was advised to do likewise.
the company official limiting that it
would not be prudent for any pilot to
be caught in the 20 per cent minority"
Behncke said that the charges con-
tanned in his brief are based on re-
ports by telephone and telegraph from
chairmen of local chapters of the Air
Line Pilots Association.

Happiness Reigns for Family
As Jobs for Pair Retrieve Home
Filon,eno Colacicco, Italian Plasterer
Aided by Home O,oners' Loan Corpo-
ration and Attorney for Society.

Employed again after months of idle

his home saved through the Home
Owners Loan Corporation, Fflomeno
Colacicco. an Italian plasterer, is one
OF the happiest men in Washington
today
For the saving Of his home, however,
he is giving thanks to the kindhearted-
ness Of an attorney Of the st. Vincent
de Paul Society. who personally pur-
chased $500 in bonds Of the Home
Owners Loan Corporation in order to
prevent its loss.
Everybody Satisfied.
As consequence, the lawyer will
keep the bonds, the mortgage holder
who forccloSed will get his money back
In cash because he refused to take the
bonds. and the Colacicco family-father,
mother and three children-will remain
in their home at $40 Irving street.
The saving Of the home came about
in this way:
On July rs, last, Colacicco's home
was sold at public auction, after the
mortgage holder had foreclosed. Hav-
ing no place to go. the Colacicco fam
lily remained. on the premises, and in
doing so became tenant at will" It
then became necessary for the pur-
chaser Of the property to institute evic-
tion proceedings. During the 30-day
interval thus provided, the Home Own

The ST. Vincent de Paul Society,

filed an answer in court to the eviction
suit, causing further delay.
Meanwhile, the Home Owners Loan
Corporation found that with Colacicco

Thereupon, the lawyer, who requests
that his name be withheld from pub

bonds of the corporation and pay of
the mortgage holder in cash. This was
done, and the case is about to be closed
by Paul Frizzell. manager of the Wash

ELECTRICAL STORM
FLOODS STREETS
Georgetown Section Darkened.
Autos Stalled and Easements

Streets were flooded. the Georgetown
section darkened and many automo-
biles stalled by last evenings violent
electrical storm, which was accom-
panied by an inch of rainfall in less
than an hour. an amount character
lied by the Weather Bureau as "ex-
ceSsive."
Though streets in many parts of the
city were flooded, the high water lasted
only short time after the rain stopped
at 7:30 pm, and conditions were re-
ported normal by midnight.
The Fifth and Ingraham streets Sec
ton was flooded for the third time this
year. more than score of homes re-
porting water-filled Easements. Fire
apparatus and sewer department en-
ployes worked for several hours pump
ing cellars and assisting owners of
water-stalled automobiles. The American
Automobile Association reported many
calls from motorists whose cars were
stalled by wet ignition systems.
Among the sections reporting flooded
streets were Ninth and r streets,
Twelfth and r streets; 5000 block of
Sherrier place; Sixth and Whittier
streets, Twelfth street and New Hamp-
shire avenue. 1000 block of Rhode
Island avenue, Thirteenth and Della

out lights in the Georgetown section.
The heavy rainfall washed out q
sewer excavation at Illinois avenue and
Gallatin street and a portion Of the
street paving broke on and dropped
into the hole. Police roped on Gala
tin street between Ninth street and
Illinois avenue until repairs could be
made.

A portable high-speed motion pictur
camera and electric timer capable of
photographing and timing objects NOV
ing with the speed of a pistol bullet
was employed for the first time in ma
rine racing history to clock the start and
finish of heats of the Presidents Cup
race here last Friday and Saturday.
Although none of the finishes was
close enough to cause a dispute, the
new timer made possible timing OF the
heats to the thousandths Of a second
and, had dispute arisen, would have
provided precision timing beyond the
range of human capability.
The new electric timer has been used
for the timing Of airplane races and
speed trials and has been applied to
other famous sports events. among
them the Olympic meet of last year.
So successful has its use at the Presi-
dents Cup regetta here last week that
it undoubtedly will be employed at all
future power boat races, In the opin-
ion Of the local officials.
Also Photographs Event.
The camera used in the device oper-
ates at speeds ranging from to 1000
frames per second, or 125 times normal
motion picture speed. in keeping with
the speed of the action which must be
timed. 1t photographs the object in
motion and the time, as recorded by
the timer in minutes. second and hun
dredths or thousandths Of seconds as
desired, all on the same strip Of film.
The new timer has been used in a
great variety of ways to improve ma
chinery of various types which work
too rapidly for the eye to see. I'M
proved valve mechanisms and spark
plugs for internal combustion engines
have resulted.

PACIFIC COAST
LEAGUE GAMES
By United Press

The Hollywood Stars, in the back
ground Tor the last month, again
are making a strong bid for the
leadership of the Pacific Coast
league. They open their new series
today with the last place Seattle
club two games behind the Sacra-
mento Senators, who have clung to
first place by a narrow margin for
a month and a half.
Los Angeles is trailing the stars
by one game. Portland is in fourth
place, half game behind the An
gels. With the exception of Los An
geles, who plays Oakland, none of
the first division teams should en-
counter serious competition this
week The Oaks won five out of
seven games from Portland in their
last series. causing the Beavers to
slip from second place to the bor-
derline of the second division.
Portland will be entertained by
the Missions at San Francisco. The
Reds are in a chronic slump, having
lost six out Of seven games to Hol-
lywood. and if the Beavers play the
kind Of ball Of which they are cap
able, they ought to make a clean
sweep of the series.
The series between Sacramento
and San Francisco will be followed
closely because of Joe Demaggio's
announced intention of trying to
break the world record of Joe Will
holt of the Wichita club of the
Western league for hitting safely
in consecutive games.
Demaggio, who has shattered the
Pacific Coast league record of 49
games and run his total to SO, is
confident he will surpasS Wilhoits
mark established in 1919. In 442
times at bat, he has slapped out l4l
hits, including II home runs, for
percentage of 1874.

baseman, who has hit safely in 80
consecutive games, has batting
