New Lockheed Plane
 Emphasizes Economy
Grandfather of American Airplanes Has New Ship

in automobiles. This, Lockheed pointed out, is a radical departure for America, although speed planes throughout Europe use these mo- tors extensively.
 The new craft will have two mo- tors built into the nose of the plane suspended directly in front of the pilot, and laid on their sides. This, he said, will cut down wind resist ance to a far greater degree than Is possible in plane using radial motors suspended from the wings built into or above them.
 At the same time it gives him a plane with cruising speed of 150 miles an hour with the depend ability 1.-two motors and the sav- ing feature of low motor upkeep.
 Lockheed says his ship will op- crate at a cost of 12 cents mile against costs of $1 a mile for two and three-motored planes carrying at the most 16 passengers. He believes the plane will be pro- nounced favorite among amateur or sportsmen. pilots, and small in- dependent airlines who must fight tremendous overhead costs.

New York, Jan 26-Marching
 arm in arm to help sponsor the Birthday Balls for the President on January 30, MT Roosevelt's 52nd birthday, fraternal and civic club
 organizations are rapidly complet- ling plans throughout the nation for an overwhelming number of balls
 aimed at honoring the president and helping raise an endowment for Warm Springs Foundation for
 Infantile Paralysis. Reports reaching the National Committee headquarters of the Birthday Ball for the President here show that at least IA fraternal groups have signified their hearty support of the countrywide move
 ment. Headed by Joseph T. Fan ming, past grand exalted ruler of the Elks, who is acting as chair man of the Division of Fraternai Orders, this group is forging ahead with ambitious plans for a series of Presidential Birthday Balls sec- ond to none.
 Joining scores of prominent men and women in all walks of life on
 the National Committee, headed by Colonel Henry L. Doherty as chair man, are other leading citizens who
 direct the affairs of the nations outstanding fraternal groups. Word from each national leader shows how thoroughly every council, aerie, lodge, nest, court, tribe and camp has been canvassed to assist in the work of giving Birthday Balls for the President in every city, town and hamlet which boasts a fraternal or civic club organiza- ton. ,
 Thus far, the National Commit tee reports that the following fra ternal orders are sponsoring huge

Boulder Dam Fast
 Nearing Completion
"lt Won't Be Long Now" Is Slogan of Workers on
 Huge Nevada Project

Boulder City, Nev. = (UP) - Boulder Dam, a dream in the minds of engineers and officials for years, is approaching that stage of construction where the passwords of those associated in it's building are, Tt won't be long now!"
 The giant structure now Is past the 74O-foot evel in Black Can- yon. Less than 500 feet of con- crete remain to be added to it's height before it reaches it's top at the 1,232-foot level.
 The construction is far ahead of the schedule laid down when the project was started in April, 1881. Major activity now is cen- tered on pouring concrete for the dam.
 Scaffo1ding such as that used on the face of a growing sky scraper covers the dam. In fact, the entire project now resembles construction of some tremendous office building equal in height to the Woolworth building. Corri- dors penetrate the huge mass of

Firemen Gave Clue

Tucson, Ariz, Jan 26-UP)-- John Dillihger and his gang of cor killers and bank robbers who suc- cessfully evaded national guard detachments and picked city police were caught in the laws tolls to- day because a small town fireman read detective story magazines. Dillipger, considered one of the most dangerous criminals at large was captured without shot beina fired. His henchmen, Russell Clark. Charles Makley and>Harry Pierpont, who are accused of half dozen murders and numerous bank robberies, offered little resist ance. Their four women, Mary Kinder, Opal Long, Ann Martin and
 Madge Retzger, were taken with them.

Continued from Page 1.) senate today as essential to any effort to clear Americas tremend- ous burden of public and private debt.
 Senator Bailey, democrat, N. C., said he had been informed by "re- liable sources" that. the total amount of indebtedness in the country at this time was $220,- 900, 100000.
 There is not the remotest pos- sibility that the American people can ever pay this debt under the present standards of prices and living" he said.
 Answering republican attacks that took up the entire session yesterday, Bailey said the mone- tary bill would increase prices to a point where liquidation would be possible.
 The senate convened at II a. m., an hour earlier than customary as administration leaders pressed toward a vote.
 The temper of the leadership was shown when Vice-President Garner, hurrying the senate along. called for a vote on the amend ment which would put control of the proposed $2,000,000,000 sta bilization fund in a five-man board.
 Minority Leader McNary blocked this move.
 To attempt to hold people with and income of $5O,00O,000,00O to debts contracted during high prices can only lead to the liqul- dation of the debt in the bank ruptcy courts where creditors will get only about 10 per cent, Bailey said.
 As a second Justification for de- valuation Bailey said 1t was needed in a monetary war which we did not start but of which we will be the victims"
 "The real question is not whether President Roosevelt will determine the value of our money Bailey said, "but whether the American people or the people oi other nations will determine the value of our money" | He took a roll of bills from his pocket, waved several, and pound ed his desk as he explained the gold content of the dollar.

From here we went to the home of Clark who then was alone in the house. We took Clark by pos- ing as collection agents. He drew a gun and started a fight. This was short lived.
 One of our men reported that Harry Pierpont was packing and making ready to leave town. We dashed to his house and as he was leaving we stopped him telling him we were examining all Flor ido license plates. Before we knew it he had thrust a gun into my stomach. i grabbed his arm as he reached for a second gun and the other men subdued him with their guns.
 We returned to Clark's house where Dillinger had come to make call. We knocked on the door and as he appeared we had him covered with a machine gun. He was arrested without a struggle or fuss.
 Clark we arrested Mary Kinder, Opal Long and Madge Retzger.
 There were ten men from the department working on the case since the mob arrived in town the latter part Of last week. Through their fine police work. we were able to walk each man into trap. capture him and collect this largo amount of loot without firing a shot.

 Los Angeles (UP)-One of the grandfathers of American flying is about to launch another airplane, radical in conception yet conserva- tive in design.
 Perhaps Allen Lockheed, born Loughheed, Scotch and red-haired, would object to being called a grandfather for he is only A and full of youthful spirit.
 Eut Lockheed's airplanes have been consistent leaders in aviation circles since he began building them in 1915.
 Practically every noted flyer ot the generation at some time or an other has set records and con- quered new worlds in Lockheed |crafts.
 Colonel Art Goebel took one ot the first models back in 1926 and flew to Hawaii. Lieutenant Com mander Frank M. Hawks used @ Lockheed to set speed records on two continents. Captain Sir George Hubert Wilkins piloted g Lockheed across the North Pole Colonel Roscoe Turner flew a Lock. heed to many of his speed records. Wiley Post and Jimmy Mattern also piloted one around the world, and then both Amelia Earhart and Colonel Charles A Lindbergh have flown Lockheeds Even before the single-motoreo Lockheed made it's appearance 1T l1926 to revolutionize airplane con- struction, Allen Lockheed wal building planes. He first flew 1T Chicago in 1910, a year after Louii Bleriot astounded the world by flying across the English Channel In 1915 he constructed tiny bi plane with folding wings whicf would compare admirably in de sign with a present-day biplane even to the tapered nose cowlinl around the propellor.
 But in 1916 he constructed hi first big job-a twin-motored hyint boat carrying 10 passengers. Ina was when he and his brother Nal colm, inventor of the hydraulic brake, had a plant at Santa Bar bara, Albert, King of Belgium flew in that ship.
 A year ago Lockheed resigned from the company and launched new enterprise to design what h' firmly elieved would be the plan, of the future-a ship with speed safety and economy. That ship | ready to take wings within a fev days on its test flights.
 The plane itself resembles pre- ceeding Lockheeds, but it powerful is radically different. Instead O using radial motors, seven cylin ders set fhnwise about a centra crankcase, Lockheed is reverting t' the in-line motors such as arc uset

(Continued from Page 1.) 33.OOO more workers now than at this time last year. The greater part of this gain is in factory workers. There are 158,000 work CTS on General Motors payrolls now, compared with 125,000 a year ago.
 Chevrolet Motor Company, larg- est of the General Motors unit, has almost doubled it's last years January payroll. General Manager M. D. Coyle reported today that the company has 50,816 employees, against 30,668 last year.
 We're making over 2,000 units a day now" Coyle said, land ex- pect to step up production rapidly throughout February. Every or- der for increased production means work for more of our former em- ployes."
 The Ford Motor Company, lead ing the production parade because of a months start on other com panies, is working 90,000 men in the Detroit area alone, most of them on assembly lines. The conn pany has between 1,500 and 3,OOO workers in each of ten branch as- sembly plants scattered through out the country. Ford workers are turning out 3,200 cars daily. five days a week.
 The Chrysler Corporation, slow to get it's radicall ystreamlined cars into production, has approN- mately 42,OO0 men on it's payrolls. Former Chrysler employees are re- turning to work as rapidly as off ciaIs can fit them into their organ ization.
 Speed Up Is Cry x Cleveland, January 26 - (UP) - The plaint of the automobile builders = speed up! Give us more parts, more steel, more rub beri" Sent. northern Ohio indus- try scurrying along the upsarde today.
 Smoke spewed from huge stacks. Lathes and machinery whirred. More and more men were being hired. Extra shifts were inaugur- ated in an effort to keep pace with the activity occasioned by unpre- cedented demand for new motor cars.
 Not for years has the business of supplying automobile parts tires, bodies, steel, tools and pre- cision instruments - the life- blood of industry in this section received such a substantial stimu- Jus as in the last few weeks.
 Steel companies in Cleveland: Iorain, Youngstown, Mansfield and other cities in this region were re- ceiying bundles of new orders pre- dicated on the motor car industry. Production schedules were being stepped up. ,u
 Every major tire company In Akron, the rubber capital of the world, gave it's employees a 10 per cent increase in wages, to be ef- fective on February 1. The in- creases will affect 10000 workers, and will increase their buying power by more than S5,OOO'ooo annually.
 Word from Detroit that the au- tomotive industry was experience ing a boom was music to the ears of Cleveland industrialists. The biggest industry here is manufac- ture of parts aXles, housings bodies, wheels, bumpers, springs motor parts-and Cleveland gets a. sizeable chunk of every Detrol' dollar.

SURGEON GETS
 MATAS AWARD
University of Cincinnati Man Outstanding in
 Vascular Surgery

New orleans-(UP)-Dr Mont R. Reid, professor of surgery at the University of Cincinnati, to- night will receive the Dr Rudolph Matas award for outstanding work in vascular surgery at appropriate ceremonies here. He is the hrst surgeon to be so honored.
 Dr Matas, internationally known surgeon, presented the award, 9 gold medal, which was made pos- sible by a fund left by the late Miss Violet Ida Hart, New Orlenas singer and musician. The award will be, given whenever a signal contribution in vascular surgery is made by an American surgeon. 1t is in this field-surgery of the blood vessels, veins and arteries that the 73-year-old Dr Matas has gained international fame The Matas operation, using sutures for the closing of aneurisms, is ac- cepted and performed by physic- ians all over the world. Aneruisms are dilated veins and arteries that form a sac or a general dilation, and can lead to the patients death. The New Orleans physician was the first to use aluminium bands instead of the old gut or silk liga- lures for the immediate oblitera- ton of aneurisms.
 Dr Reid is A years old and has specialized in vascular surgery. He was the first to prove that ar terio-venus aneurisms may seri- ously damage the heart. In 1925 and 1928, Dr Reid was visiting professor of surgery at the Picking (China) Union Medical college, helped organize and direct base hospital for the Chinese army, and was awarded a medal for medical service in Yu Sheng's Chinese army, and was a surgeon of the Asiatic expedition into Mongolia under the direction of Roy Chap man Andrews.

concrete, from it's 65O-foot wide base to its ascending top. 0al- leries thread of the main entrance some of them to be kept open after the dam is completed.
 Must Cool Concrete
 An extensive cooling system has been installed in the dam. Pipes carry water cooled to approxi- mately 40 degrees throughout the concrete, which, because of its great mass, must be artificially cooled if it ever is to harden. In places the freshly poured concrete reaches a temperature of 136 de- grees Fahrenheit.
 The cooling also iS being done now 50 that cracks which may ap- pear in the concrete will show up. These are filled as rapidly as de- tected. A series of electric ther- mometers has been placed through out the concrete, so that accurate check may be kept of the cooling process.
 A majority of the more than 1000 men now employed in con- nection with the project are busy with the pouring, spreading, cool ing and settling of the concrete. Huge buckets, holding more than 17 tons of mixed concrete, are swung over the structure from overhead cable cars. By careful timing the buckets are carried to their approximate dumping posi- tion. There the crane cars stop on the cable, and the heavy buckets | swing forward from the momen- tum already gained. Then the ops orator runs the cable car forward, | so that 1t reaches a point directly over the bucket just as it loses the momentum of its swing.
 Pouring by Telephone A man with portable tele- phone sits near the spot where the concrete is to be dropped. The op- orator of the cable crane sta- toned far above on the canyon rim, cannot see where the load Is to be placed. At a signal from the observer at the telephone, the 17 tons of mixed concrete are re- leased. Spreading crews rush for safety, and the huge load comes out with a swish and chatter. The timing of this operation is dll Lue more TenarkaDIe when IL 1s pointed out that the cables from which the buckets are suspended are almost TOO feet above the present top of the dam.
 Work also is progressing on the three power houses to be installed on the downstream face of the dam. These structures, which will house equipment capable of gen. erating 1,S00,000 horsepower of electrical energy, will be the equivalent of History buildings in height. Foundations for the power houses are being poured in con- junction with the dam itself. Preparations now are being made to complete the intake tow CTS through which water from the lake formed by the dam will be shot through giant diversion tun- nels, 50 feet in diameter, then through the power house genera tors.
 The concrete pouring will pro- gress rapidly as the dam hears it's top, since the structure will be but 45 feet wide there.
