FREE SEAPORT
SCHEME URGED
Viewed as Being Bene-
fetal Institution for
the United States

NEW YORK, March 29.-(OP1
A vigorous movement Is unut =
wav to establish free seapott 70
throughout the United States 10
stimulate foreign trade.
A bill authorizing the govern fn,,
ment to establish free zones Ior
foreign trade has been mtroouc-
ed in the present congress.
The free zone plan has been
rcad with marked success abroad.
a free port assures free storage
dutv on goods arriving until the
time the importer decides either
to deliver the goods to a purchas-
az. or return it to the shipper
abroad. 1t also implies that goods
received in the free zone may be
trans-shipped to another country
without the payment of American
duty. Under present conditions in
American ports, an importer,
bringing in merchandise, has to
pay duty at once, place it in a
warehouse and then try to sell it.
With a free port privilege, he
would place the goods in a ware
house without paying duty; if he
sells % per cent of the shipment
he would take this quantity from
the warehouse, pay duty only or
this amount and close the trans
action. Eventually, if the remain
ing goods prove unmarketable
they may be returned to the orig
inal shipper. The importer thus
avoids the payment of duty OF
merchandise not actually receiv
ed The free port especially is val
liable in handling many raw prod
ucts where the finishing is done il
American ports. It also stimulate
the building of manufacturing
plants in the ports. The outstand
ing example Of the success Of th'
free port is seen in the rapit
growth Of the new world harbo
of Gdynia at the Baltic entranc
to the Polish Corridor. In a few
years a waste land has here beel
developed into a world harbol
and city of $4,000 has bee
built. Roman Kutylowski, presi
dent of the Gdynia-American line
points out that the adoption o
free ports throughout the Unite
States would immensely stimulat
foreign trade.

New Parachutes
Real Life Boats
Equipment Found Practi-
cal o nHuge Liners
By SWANEE TAYLOR
United Press Aviation Writer

NEW YORK, March 20. (UP)
Since the time that parachutes
were made practical for use in
airplanes-soon after the war
manufacturers have been pleased
call their products variously,
'Life-boats of the Sky" "Aerial
Life-savers." etc. But this safety
device had been developed for
military flying, hence they were
definitely limited to open cock
pit types of aircraft. Which au-
tomatically eliminated them for
use on board the luxurious cabin
airliners.
Now the Irving Airchute COM
pany has perfected a new lap
strap harness that makes it pos
sible to furnish the air traveller
with an additional protection of
parachute. From now on, these
silken umbrellas truthfully can
be called Air Life-boats.
In the past the harness was the
bugaboo. Made of wide heavy
webbing, is fitted on similar to a
union suit, buckling across the
chest. with two bands passing
around the legs to fasten at the
wrist. Naturally, this limited
their use to men only since the
modern female doesn't consider
breaches or iodpurs the vogue
for travel.
The new lap-strap harness was
developed especially for women.

BY ALANSON EDWARDS

HOLLYWOOD - (UP).-Be-
tween explaining why she lives II
Pasadena and persuading people
to spell her name correctly, Peg
gv Wood has found her hours III
the film colony pretty well filled.
The noted New York and Lon
don theatrical star is addressed
as ''Miss Woods" everywhere she
turns and this is a trial indeed.
Likewise she is becoming some
what irked by the necessity OF eX-
planning that Pasadena really isn't
anv farther from studios than
Beverly Hills or Santa Monica
But no matter-she likes Pasa-
dena and that's that.
Slender, blonde and vivaclous,
Miss Wood is here to play oppo-
site Will Rogers in "Merry An
drew" wherein Will owns a drug
store and his wife, Miss Wood,
owns a voice. You can see the
possibilities.
She is glad for herself and for
her many brethren in show
business that the movies at last
recognize the value of the legiti-
mate stage-for it is obvious that
the majority of screen PERSONAL
ties are being drawn nowadays
from the theatre.
"The movies high hated the
stage so long" she observed,
chat legitimate actors are more
glad to see the situation reversed
now that talkies are established,
In the old silent days. stage ac-
tors were told on arriving in Hol-
lywood that they must unlearn
everything they knew because
pictures were an entirely differ
ent technique.
"That wasn't entirely true, of
course: for no matter what an
actor does, he has to keep con-
tinually in his mind the fact that
he is in effect, moving in a
frame. That's what a stage is,
and players must be at pains to
remain within view If all the au-
dience. just as picture players
have to keep within camera range
and scope"
