flying goes through the tube at the
rear and when it reaches the end
of the tube, at the tail OF the air
ship, the wind is caused to drive
in the opposite direction from
which it came-enough so that it
equalizes the forces of the wind
into which the ship is flying.
He has submitted his plan to the
Navy Department, he said, but ex-
planned that the department does
not believe it will work as claimed.
The inventor also asserted that
when his model was given a trial
in Navy Department wind tun-
mel it did not function as he had
claimed it would, but explained
that in a wind tunnel the wind is
not only blown at the nose of the
ship, but also is sucked out at the
rear of the tunnel. This does not
allow the wind coming out Of the
tube on his model to act naturally,
as it would in open flying.
Might Have Saved Airship
He claims that if his invention
had been used on the Shenan-
doah that airship would not have
met the fate it did, because the
wind would not have affected it
in the way it did.
The main propeller under Link S
design would be on the nose of
the ship, and the rudder also
would be suspended from the
nose, thus, he explains, causing
no unnecessary weight below the
body of the ship.
He also proposes to place four
propellors, equidistant from the
center of the ship, on the front
just behind the nose. These, he
points out, could be used in guid-
ing the airship.
His plan now is to construct an
airship of his own to demonstrate
to the aviation world that his
plan is sound,

U. S. Officials See
Extradition Success
BY international News Service

BY international News Service
American officials handling the
Samuel insult case today were
confident the former utility mag
nate would be ordered extradited
under the Fe deral indictment
lodged against him in connection
with alleged violation of Federal
bankruptcy laws.
Confidence that the extradi-
ton proceedings would succeed
was based on the fact that it is
the Government Of the United
States acting now rather than
the authorities of Cook County,
Illinois.
Secondly, the new extradition
treaty between this country and
Greece will apply to the present
proceedings, whereas it did not
apply in the last attempt to ex-
tradite insult.
OF more significance perhaps
than either of these two factors
was the hint that the American
Legation in Athens has been do
ing a little informal talking to
Greek Government officials.

100000 SIGN
BLANKET CODE
Br international News Service

By international News Service
More than 100000 business
firms have signed the Presidents
blanket code, which calls for
higher wages and shorter hours,
it was estimated at the National
Recovery Administration today.
With an official count of 1,545,-
900 firms three days ago, sigma
lures to the blanket code, or
Presidents unemployment agree
ment, were reported to be still
coming in at the rate of 10000 a
day.
The big drive for the recovery
administration will open on Mon
day and continue through Labor
Day, with officials estimating that
the 1000, 1000 mark will be reached
by the end of the drive.
Thomas C. H am mon d, in
charge of the signing of blanket
codes. is confident that within 10
days rs to 80 per cent of all bust
ness firms in the country will be
operating under the Blue Eagle.
Hugh S. Johnson, recovery ad
ministrator, and his aides refuse
to make an estimate of the mum
ber of people who have obtained
Jobs as a result of the blanket
codes.
Some recovery officials claim al
least 100000 persons have al
ready obtained jobs, some part
time, through the operation ol
the blanket agreements. The rea

paign. in Johnson's opinion, vii

BEER TAX LAGS
IN ALEXANDRIA

Mayor E. F. Ticer, of Alexan-
dria, declared last night that he
will not call a special meeting
of the Alexandria City Council
until after the Virginia State
beer bill has been finally ap-
proved.
Several city councilmen have
expressed their readiness to at
tend a special meeting of council
to prepare for the legalization of
beer by passage of a city ordi-
nance, but until the State tax is
definitely fixed Mr.. Ticer thinks
it will be impossible to determine
the amount of the city levy.
A majority of the members of
council are in favor of reasonably
low tax as an aid to merchants
who have been hard hit since the
legalization of beer in the District
of Columbia.

ACREAGE PLANS

BENEFITED
Extent of Reduction in States
+ Likely to Be IS Per Cent Of
f.: Crop for Domestic Use
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Signing of world wheat agree
ment at London was hailed to-
day by farm administration ex-
perts as step toward world con-
troll of leading export crops, and
a harbinger of better times for
the American wheat farmer.
The experts were reluctant to
discuss the agreement in detail,
however, pending more thor
ough study of it's provisions.
They attached primary import
ance to the producing nations
the United States, Canada, Aus
tralia, and Argentina.
U. S. Plan Seen Helped.
It was emphasized that with
these provisions in effect, the
American acreage reduction pro-
gram would stand q better chance
to succeed.
In view of the wide disparity be-
tween domestic and world wheat
prices, the compromise provision
on price control and tariffs was
described as of secondary i'm
portance" to the United States.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wal
lace planned to announce the eX-
tent of American acreage reduc-
ton after studying the provisions
Of the world agreement.
Is Per Cent Cut Due
It was believed this reduction
might be fixed at IS per cent of
the domestically consumed wheat
crop. on the fixed basis of average
production for each wheat raising
county over the past five year.
Exports of American wheat
will be limited to 120,0OO,OO0
bushels during the next two years
under the agreement signed in
London, Department Of Agricul-
ture experts said.
Exports during the 1933-34 sea-
son probably will not exceed So
900, 900 bushels, with 70.000,000
bushel quota available for export
during 1934-35.
Surplus Seen Doomed
Frederick E. Murphy, American
delegate at the conference and a
Minneapolis publisher, said the
agreement could be regarded as
a real step towards world re-
covery.
The agreement, if it works out
as planned, provides for the dis
appearance" of the American
and Canadian wheat surplus of
more than 450,COO,000 bushels. 1t
is also intended to reopen and
spur international trade.
While most London newspapers
hailed the wheat agreement, some
British grain companies charged
it was the biggest fraud America
ever attempted to put over on
Europe" These dissatisfied quar-
ters insisted the agreement
would not succeed.
LONDON, Aug. 26 0.N.S..-The
agreement signed by 2 countries
to restrict production of wheat
and lift its price on the world
markets is an historic docum ut
and the first real step toward
prosperity" Prime Minister Rich
ard Bennett, of Canada, said to-
day. He added:
"It requires the whole
hearted support of the sigma

New Charges Hold insult
For Athens Hearing

, Rearrest of Samuel insult in
Greece today aroused hope among
thousands of insult investors that
this time the Federal Government
will be successful in its efforts to
bring the former powerful utilities
car to trial-a hope they had al
most relinquiShed.
The new indictment charges
insult and 10 of his associates, in
Guiding his brother, Martin, and
his son, Samuel, jr., with con-
spiracy to defeat the bankruptcy
laws of the United States. This
offense is extraditable both in
Greece and in Canada. The pre-
vious indictment, charging only
fraudulent use of the United
States mail, was a noneXtraditable
offense in those two countries.

POLICING
To BALANCE !,
PRICES
"Super Board" Johnson Aim
To Prevent MonopoIies,
Antitrust Violations
By International News Service


Fearful prices may outrun EN-.
r .yment as business is organized
under codes of fair competition,
National Recovery Administrator
Hugh S. johnson today was pre-
pairing to create super board"
to follow the operation of codes.
Reports that prices have been
advanced to an unusual degree
in many lines of business prompt
ed johnson to take this step
while he is still engaged in the
task of bringing the major in
duStries of the nation under the
administration.
A Check Rein Planned
The new phase in the develop
ment of the NRA is regarded by
some observers as the most i'm
portant part of the vast pro-
gram of mobilizing business for
shorter hours and higher wages.
> With the Recovery Act setting
up a bar against monopolies, but
giving business the right to or
ganize despite the antitrust laws.
the plan of johnson calls for a
governmental organization to keep
a check-rein on business during
the life of the Recovery Admin
iStration.
The work of administering the
codes, according to Johnson, will
be placed largely in the hands of
industrial committees, with the
Government keeping watch and
ready to take action at any time,
Monopoly Prevented
A general code board, with
boards for each industry-and
with the President having the
power to modify codes and the De-
partment of Justice authorized to
prevent monopolies-the new plan
calls for the most far-reaching
supervision of business operations
yet attempted, Johnson said:
"If we find a runaway price
we will call in the governing
body of the industry and say
that there is an abuse of the
code. The industry becomes
liable under the Sherman act
If it is a monopoly"
The recovery administration
also intends to follow the rela-
tions of labor to industry, but the
course is not as clearly Charted.
The national labor board is given
broad power to settle disputes.
Collective Bargaining
The qestion of how far the Gov
ernment will interfere to enforce
labor's right of collective bar
gaining is still in the process Of
formation.
The recovery administration is
making no plans to raise the
wages of employees paid more
than $35 week, the dividing line
set in most codes in the regula-
ton of hours. johnson said:
I'm not so much interested
in man getting $l,SOO a year."
He predicted. however. that
success of the NRA plan to raise
the low-paid classes will result in
all wage schedules being revised
upward.
The coal and automobile codes
were still to be written into final
form, with possibility that the
auto code may be approved to-
day.
Auto Code Fight
After the automobile manufac-
turers had made their final re-
vision of the code, including a
much modified declaration of
their right to hire and fire with
out reference to unions, johnson
turned the code over to the labor
advisory board for an opinion
Negotiations over a coal code
were being brought rapidly to a
climax. with johnson prepared to
write a code for the industry un-
less action is forthcoming shortly.

FOR MASTER
NRA CODE
Revised Plan for Druggists
Strikes Out Sections
Hit by RiChberg
By International News Service

Further support of the belief
that the NRA eventually will
adopt a master code" for retail
merchants, including food, drug
and general merchandise stores,
was seen in the text of a new
code presented by the druggists to-
day at resumption of the public
hearings.
From the redrafted code have
been stricken all provisions criti-
cized by Donald r. Richberg, and
in addition the unfair practice pro-
vision Of the code was rewritten
to conform generally with the
same section in the code pre-
sented by the general retail mer-
chants earlier this week.
Substitute Provisions
The new code of the druggists
contains substitute provisions for
the net cost" price fixing pro-
vision condemned by Richberg and
new administrative provisions
which will not permit the enforc-
ing committee setup under the
code to levy fines for non-payment
of assessments.
Several changes also we're made
in the wage and hour provisions
of the code. The new code stipu-
lates that in any drug store open
for business 18O hours or less in
any two consecutive weeks shall
not work employees more than 96
hours and not more than 13 cal
endar days.
S3O-a-Week Men Excepted
In stores open more than 1870
hours in two weeks, employees shall
not work over 112 hours and not
more than 13 days.
The new code makes exceptions
of employees receiving more than
$50 a week and registered phar-
macists and assistant pharmacists.

 We all resent criticism" he continued. Most people get their joy out of life telling someone else where to head in." He scoffed ct suggestion boxes placed in many factories and put there go work CTS could submit their ideas to the management without having to confer with the forcmen. He scored such a sitaution and gave his opinions of foremcn who could not be trusted to give credit for an idea to the man who was responsible for it.
 He spoke of the '-Outside man." scornfully called the "expert" by foremen and workers, pointing out the possibility of his being of value. He admitted many of them antagonize everyone with whom they come in contact while going about a factory but explained .t was usually done thoughlessly and criticism often accepted as criti- cism of an individual was meant only as criticism of performing a task. He cited as an example the papermaker who visited the steel mill and expressed surprise that steel was not made in rolls as paper is and the resulting contin- uous process of steel making. As an example of waste he de- scribed the method of hitching up & fire horse before fire depart ments were motorized and point cd out that truckers and milkmen still hitch up their horses by put ting one part of the harness on at time when the adoption of the system in use in fire houses would save much time and effort.
 He showed motion pictures to illustrate changes made in the method of assembling license brackets on high-priced auto mobile, giving as the reason for choosing high-priced car an argument to offset the claim that motion study was of value only to quantity of production. He men, toned the changes which came about with the introduction Of quick drying paint in the automo- bile trade and the scorn that in- ventors have had to endure for their hours of labor. He read q newspaper article printed in 1846 which said a man had been arrest ed for obtaining money under false .pretenses because he tried to ob- tain money to help him with ex- periments to perfect q device that
 would enable wire to carry the human voice.

HEALTH PROBLEM

There Is good work fin all parts of the city for a cleanup campaign. Tn all parts of the city there is re- fuse which should be gathered up and carried to the dumps. No bet ter work could be assigned to the unemployed forces. It may be said that the law imposes this duty on the owners of property, but 1t is doubtful if there is any fairness in holding individuals responsible for conditions which they are in no way responsible for. It is not pos- sible to prevent people from dis posing of refuse wherever they sec convenient place for the accumu- latiOns of refuse of cellars and back yards gathered up at this sea- son. While they have no right to
 remove tho rubbish of their own property to that of their neighbors, yet owing to the fact that there is
 no system of collecting this refuse, there is the temptation to deposit 1t somewhere, and 1t goes without | saying that 1t Is being done. and as a result nothing but q general
 cleanup will put the city in the
 shape 1t ought to be before the

 It Is admitted that certain kinds of sickness have their origin in | dirt, and this being so 1t stands to
