ROTATING WINGS USED
TO PR0PEL NEW PLANE
Blades Beat Air Down and Back
as Ship Scars Through
Sky.
By the Associated Press.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Calf :,
June GA new flying machine model
which uses a series Of rotating wings
and elevators was exhibited publicly
for the first time yesterday by Prof.
r. K. Kristen of the aeronautical
engineering department Of the Uni
versity Of Washington.
Six wing blades" each about 21a
feet long and 4 inches wide, are
mounted on small rotating discs
which, in turn, fit into a large ro-
tating disc on each side of the
fuselage. These wing blades make
one-half revolution to each complete
turn of the main disc and beat the
air down and back as they whirl at
high speed.
Replacing the ordinary elevators are
four elevator blades" proportionately
smaller to the wing blades" but
working on the same principle and
in unison with the larger pieces of
wood. The working model was feet
long and had a wing-spread of 5 feet.
No propeller Is needed, the scten-
tist said.

This happy change was not accom-
plished as naturally as it looked.
Some very vigorous spoon stirring was
done on the inside by the joint CO.
operation of Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Tighe. How Mr. Tighe won the labor
convention over the rank and file
agitators in a series of meetings in
his hotel room is a story he will have
to tell
Nearly every one seems to be salts
fed now Labor has far more con-
fidence in Secretary Perkins than in
Gen. johnson. Under Tighe's leader
ship, it will play along toward q
calmer plan for holding labor union
elections. It's rank and file leader
ship had clearly carried 1t too far to-
ward an angry strike.
The strike issue is not settled, but
it has been delayed at least for two
or three months.
There are two opposite inside views
about the national labor situation
now. You can get one from a con-
gressional labor expert who could not
speak frankly If he spoke openly. In
private he says:
II am very worried about Mr..
Roosevelt going of to Hdpati. He
is the only man in the country
pto could handle q national labor
uprising II it came. In pieU OF the
labor feeling in the Udrious sec
ttons OF the country fthe dock
strike on the Pacific Coast, the
steel, automobile and other STUD
ttonS), belieDe there is Just an
outside chance that the labor ques-
tton may become nationally seri-
ouS"
A calmer view is reflected by q
labor spokesman of the administra-
ton. who whispers:
The labor situation cannot become
nationally serious any time soon.
There have been many strikes. but
there Is little relation and no co-ordi-
nation among them. They are being
settled swiftly. Organizations of labor
and their leadership are not yet very
strong. They cannot afford to take
the bit in their teeth. They are too
sensible to try it.
Everything will be ironed out
gradually during the course of the
next year without any more trouble
than we are having now"
Secret Meeting Rumored.
1t is supposed to be a secret, and
it may be kept as one, that certain
industrial leaders will hold what
amounts to an open shop meeting at
certain hotel in Chicago within q
few days. They will organize to con-
iStration.
The call for the meeting specified
that the matter should be kept con-
fidential. UNLIMITED guests will not
be permitted to attend. The admin
istration already knows all about it.

M'N|NCH RENAMED
DESPITE PROTESTS
North Carolina Senators to
Fight Presidents Choice
d for Power Post.

In the face of protests by section
of the democracy of North Carolina,
Frank r. McNinch of Charlotte,
chairman of the Federal Power Com
mission, was reappointed today by
President Roosevelt for a five-year
term. His present appointment ex-
pires tonight.
The fight on McNinch grows out Of
his leadership Of the anti-Smith
forces in North Carolina in 1928,
when the voters, traditionally Demo-
cratic, turned away from Alfred e.
Smith, the party nominee, and helped
elects Herbert Hoover to the presi-
dency.
Senators Fight Nomination.
The Associated Press today quoted
both Senator Bailey and Senator
Reynolds Of North Carolina as in
tending to fight the nomination Of
McNinch at the next session Of Con-
gress. Bailey, successor in the Senate
to Furnifold NJ. Simmons, who lost
out In the State by reason Of his
opposition to Smith, Is also said to
have filed q protest directly with the
White House.
In Raleigh yesterday the North
Carolina Democratic Convention ig-
nored o resolution from the sixth
district calling for opposition to Nc
Ninch. The district Democrats
charged McNinch was appointed to
the Power Commission by former
President Hoover as q reward for
political services.
The convention, incidentally, ac-
cording to the Associated Press,
failed for the first time in at least
"a years to pledge the party to the
principle Of prohibition. It praised
the State and national Democratic
administrations.
Named Chairman.
McNinch was designated chairman
Of the commission q year ago by his
associates, after President Roosevelt
asked the then chairman, George
Otis Smith, Republican, to step aside
Otis Smith, Republican, TO step aside
in favor Of the North Carolinian.
A short time thereafter President
Roosevelt called tor the resignation OF
Smith.
A Republican successor to Smith
recently was named In the person
Of Clyde Leroy Seavey Of California
Under ordinary circumstances, Nc
Ninch's nomination probably would
have gone along at the same time,
but had 1t been tied up the appointee
would not have been able to draw
pay before the next session Of Con-
gress.
McNinch was appointed to the
commission at the. time Of its crea-
ton in 1880, being named for the
four-year term. under the rotative
system. He met some opposition at
the time.

ROOSEVELT SIGNS .
.. RAIL LABOR BILL
Agency Created for Adjust.
ment of Disputes-Union
Choice Is Open. ,
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Dill -Crosser railroad labor bill
was signed yesterday by President
Roosevelt aboard the yacht Sequoia
off New London, Conn. It is viewed
by labor as an adjunct to the already
enacted measure giving the Govern
ment augmented power in conciliation
of labor disputes.
The President, q few hours before
he left Washington, signed the ad-
ministration bill granting him the
power of naming a board or boards to
investigate and set up machinery for
settlement of disputes arising out of
the labor section of the recovery act.
Suggested by Eastman.
The Dill -Crosser measure Just ap-
proved provides for conciliation ma
chinery for the railroad industry. 1t
was an outgrowth of one of the rec
concentrations of Joseph B. Eastman,
Federal railroad co-ordinator.
Under it is created National Rail-
road Adjustment Board composed Of
equal representation Of the carriers
and workers, along with new Medi-
alton Board of three. The present
Mediation Board of five is abolished.
The Readjustment Board is to set
tie disputes between rail companies
and their employees on wages, work.
ing conditions and contracts. II the
board is unable to agree the Medi-
alton Board will appoint a referee.
Union Choice Is Open.
The bill provides that workers may
be free to join any organization they
desire and that carriers may not
maintain, aid or control labor or
ganizations of the employees. 1t spe-
cif1cally prohibits carrier manage
ments from requiring employees to
sign "yellow-dog" contracts requiring
them to join company unions.

coming into the bank after that time,
as co-partners. The bank was operat-
ing as a de jure corporation" the
decision said, with limited powers,
after August, 1929, and the directors
were not co-partners, in carrying on
its business, as contended by the De-
positors' Committee
Now the Depositors' Committee
counsel and counsel for the Treasury
receiver in charge of the institution
will 60 back to Justice Adkins to ask
for. an early determination Of the
exact amount on the liability of the
directors as liquidating trustees for
the assets before August, 1929.
The assets in the bank before the
charter expired were listed by the
Depositors' Committee in its amended
bill as totaling s4,122, 1894. Much
of this is believed to have been with
drawn before the bank was closed in
March, 1888.
Refused Reopening.
The Park Savings Bank was refused
a license to reopen after the Presi-
dents bank holiday in March, 1888,
and Robert S. Stunz, its vice presi-
dent, committed suicide. Subsequent
ly the shortages in the bank were
found to amount to more than $2,-
500 900.
Counsel for the depositors charac.
terized the decision Of the court as a
distinct victory for the depositors,
though not going as far as they had
contended.
The case has not been finished be-
argument will be heard on remaining
issues.
Counsel for the directors, headed by
Joseph T. Sherier, we're preparing a
statement today interpreting the de-
cision. They are understood to hold
that the claim against the directors,
as co-partners for operating the bank
since 1929 involved the greatest
amount of assets, and that the courts
action in deciding the directors could
not be held liable for these losses
eliminated the greatest part of the
liability.
Alabama Law Cited.
In holding the directors were liable
as liquidating trustees for the assets
of the bank before its charter ex-
pired, the court upheld one of the vital
contentious Of the Depositors' Com
mittee, that the banks charter ex-
pired because, under Alabama law. 1t
had failed to renew the charter.
The directors became liquidating
trustees after the charter expired, ac-
cording to the decision, and were sub
ject to the Alabama law which re-
quired them to liquidate the bank,
and be Jointly and severally" liable
for the assets coming into their hands.
The problem Of determining what
amounts of the assets coming into
their hands In August, 1929, were re-
turned to depositors, or were later
lost is admittedly a difficult one to
solve, and will come before the court
in further hearings. Counsel for the
depositors have been conferring with
counsel for the receiver, J. Bruce
Kremer, and q. B. Springston, on
the matter.
The directors who are defendants
in Mrs. Crittendon's suit are Wade
H. Atkinson, Charles w. Bolgiano, L.
T. Breuninger, e. w. Forsberg, c. r.
Jenkins. who recently died; A. r.
Jorss and George w. White.
There are four other law suits some
what similar to that of Mrs. Critten-
don's pending before Justice Adkins,
and it is understood the courts de-
cision in her case today will act as a
precedent to hold the other four cases
before the court.
