PATTERN 1859

It is so much pleasanter and sim
pier to look slender, than to get
slender, that half the time It is not
worth while to go through all that
bothersome business of diet and ex-
ercise. At least not until the re-
sources Of a smart, slenderizing
frock like this have been exhausted.
You could easily take off ten pounds
and not get anything like the salts
factory results this skilfully cut
gown gives. The surplice, the jabots,
the double points in the skirt, all are
carefully calculated to contribute
graceful slim lines as well as chic.

niggardly appropriations by congress
are held to blame.
Shortage Of modern equipment, re-
sulting from the reduced appropria-
lions and stagnation In promotion Of
army air officers, the board warned,
has affected the morale of the entire
army. ca
The report scoffed at reports the
United States was vulnerable to air
invasion. It also opposed the unfit
cation of army and navy air forces
under q separate national defense unit.
First giving assurance that its recon-
mendations do not embrace national
policy of aggression, the board pro-
posed:
1. A national aviation policy to be
retained for reasonable" length Of
time. . ,.-..A s-.-x
2. Effectuation of the 1925 act
which called for expansion Of the army
air corps to 1920 planes with larger
ratio of combat units.
8. Steady program Of procurement
which would keep alive the nations
airplane building industry.
4. Drastic changes In the air corps
regulations which would increase fly
ing hours per pilot from $50 to 200
hours to 300 yearly; revisions In the
promotion system for officers Increased
training In flying under dangerous con-
ditions and with instruments common
on commercial planes.
5. Consolidation of the joint agen-
cies of army and navy, such as the
Joint munitions board, the Joint
aeronautics board, etc., under the au-
thority of the army and navy board
functioning as superior board for
both departments. =. .4..s-.
6. Purchase of small inexpensive
commercial planes for use in training
pilots in group night flying.
Z. Continuation of experiments with
small non-rigid airships as partial sub
stitutes for observation balloons.
8. Increase Of the air corps person
mel by 4O3 officers.

Department of Justice in Chicago, led
his men in this final and successful eff
fort to get Dillinger, dead or alive. The
outlaw had sought to disguise himself
by having his face lifted and his hair
dyed and by growing short mustache.
His finger tips, also, had been treated
with acid. His Identification, however,
was immediate and certain.
1t was credibly reported that a wom-
an had given the tip that resulted in
the killing Of Dillinger, but naturally,
her name was not made public, for five
members of his gang are still at large
and might be expected to avenge their
leader. The informant is due to re-
ceive at least considerable share Of
the rewards offered by the govern
ments of the United States, Indiana
and Minnesota for information leading
to the capture or death of Dillinger.
These rewards total $4,000.
Attorney General Cummings In
Washington was elated by the news of
Dillinger's death. He warmly praised
the work of Mr.. Purvis and his men,
who had devoted most Of their time
for four and half months to the
elimination Of the desperate.
Three of the Dillinger gang besides
the leader have been killed in battle
with the law. Eight others are in pris-
on. two of them under sentence OF
death.

MOSCOW has finally realized that
lVl it cannot get trade credits in the
United States until it in some way
squares up the old czarist debts owed
in this country. Therefore Ambassa-
dor Troyanovsky and Secretary Of
State Hull have begun preliminary
conversations on the subject, at the
instance of the Soviet government.
Russia owes the United States gov
eminent 1897, OOO,O 900 which this coun-
try lent to the czarist and Kerensky
governments during the war. The
Reds repudiated these debts when
they seized control Of Russia. The
Roosevelt administration has firmly re-
fused trade credits to the Soviet gov
eminent until some sort of an agree
ment is reached on these debts. Al
though the Reconstruction Finance
corporation has had an export-import
bank set up for months to finance Rus
sian trade, not single loan has been
made. Under terms Of the Johnson
act, which prevents new American
loans to foreign debt defaulters, the
bank has held that 1t cannot extend
credit to Russia.

PEOPLES LOBBY SECRETARY TO
STUDY PUBLIC OWNERSHIP in EUROPE

WASHINGTON. -(FP) - Before
sailing for Europe TO investigate what
is being done there along lines advo-
Gated by the Peoples Lobby, Benja-
min c. Marsh, executive secretary of
that organization, took a parting shot
at administration policies.
THAT heavy borrowing from the
rich, at the expense of people of small
means, to substitute or bride many
classes of property owners, is not evil
dence Of the use Of brains, and does
not constitute a new deal, is a lesson
apparently not to be learned by the
administration till payday comes" he
said.
Marsh plans to study what is being
done in the Scandinavian countries,
Poland, Germany, France and Eng
land ION the Lobby's program on public
ownership of natural resources and
m~onopolies, banking and credit, gov
eminent marketing OF farm products,
public works, including housing, writ
ing down long-term debts and interest
rates, selling price Of land, and cap
italization of corporations-as well as
on taxation"
He will also visit the Soviet Union
and attend the World Congress
Against War and Fascism in Paris at
the end of July.
