IMPROVED BULLET
HAS SQUARE HEAD
ProjectiIe Goes Contrary to
Accepted Laws of
Streamlining.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn.-Ballistic ex-
perts here have a new, square-head
projectile which goes contrary to the
accepted laws of streamlining.
It is a rife bullet which can be
speeded up by 100 miles an hour
200 feet a second-through use of
its extra resistance to the air It is
an exception, moreover, that is ex-
pected by ballistic men to prove the
rule that top speeds lie in stream
lines.
The bullet is lead, % caliber, and
sawed off across the tip. But the
tip Is not an entirely nat plane
Stuck on its surface, like a sealing
wax stamp, is a small, circular pla-
teau of lead, low projection called
the tit.
More Powder Is Used.
The experts think this projection
has something to do with the speed
of the bullet. 1t may be a partial
streamlining, they say, and II 1t is
they expect some day TO be able TO
round it up into the conventional
blunt form to secure possibly more
speed.
The extra velocity Of the new
bullet comes from the use of more
powder, and the fact that 1t main
tains its accuracy when fired with
the extra charge. The conventional
shape of bullet would take the higher
speed. but would lose accuracy.
The fiat top adds accuracy and
hitting power. In increased hitting
power the tiny, fat surface is said
to be equivalent to slapping water
with the open hand instead of pok-
ing finger into the liquid.
The bodies of game animals, being
largely water, are hit with such ex-
ira force as to knock them over
The ordinary % bullet frequently
pierces an animal completely with
out stopping its fight.
Solves Target Troubles.
This caliber is used more for tar
get practice than for hunting, and
the fiat nose makes a perfect, round
hole in target paper. When two
conical % bullets strike within
fraction of an inch in the same spot
in the bulls eye, even the experts
have difficulty in deciding whether
there were one or two hits.
The fiat tops leave no chance for
uncertainty, for their spin makes
precise cutting edge of the blunt end
and drills a perfect sphere. Not only
in paper but in anything this bullet
is capable of piercing its entering hole
is round and clean.

CONTROL OF FARMING
SEEN BY WALLACE
Foresees Forced Action Unless
Tariffs Are Lowered and Ma.

Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Unless tariffs are lowered and a
trend toward nationalism checked,
Secretary Wallace foresees compulsory
control Of all farming under a quota
system.
The agriculture chief contended the
administration has applied only the
barest sort of social discipline which
a completely determined nationalism
requires
writing for the Foreign Policy As
sociation and the World Peace Foun-
dation, Wallace in an article opposed
economic nationalism. As an outcome
of such a policy he saw among other
things:
Compulsory control of marketing,
licensing of plowed land, quotas for
every farmer. A unanimity of
opinion and disciplined action even
greater than that which We expert
enced in the years 1919. The
permanent retirement Of from 40 to
100 million acres of crop land from
cultivation. The shifting of
millions of people from the farms of
the South
Wallace said an international policy
bent on regaining world trade would
require drastic lowering of tariff bar
riers and acceptance by the United
States Of 81 900 900 900 more of goods
than in 1929.

MANILA, p. l., February 19-Set-
tlement Of the protracted Philippine
independence squable. was seen in
authoritative reports tonight that
warning political factions had agreed
to compromise suggested by the ad-
ministration.
Under it, Filipino Poloticos would
accept the Hawes- Cutting act, pro-
viding for independence in about II
years, and Congress and the admin
istration would formally agree to
weigh objections to the act.
Secrecy Maintained.
Evidently under injunctions from
Washington to maintain secrecy, poll
ticians conferred here today and to-
night after President Roosevelt gave
the impetus needed to end the dead
lock.
Since Manuel Quezon. leader of the
legislative majority which has opposed
the act, has repeatedly already agreed
to the compromise, and proponents
OF the measure have said they would
not object to amendments, the way to
agreement was open.
Notifications proposed by Quezon,
Senate president, include alteration
OF clause under which military and
naval bases would be retained by the
United States, so that this section
would be likely to satisfy Emilio Agui-
naldo, leader of the Filipino insur-
rection Of 1901 and still an outstand-
ing figure in insular politics.
Political circles indicated accept
ance of the measure, which was re-
jected by the Legislature last Fall,
would be likely to come through q
convention which would also adopt
Q constitution for the new nation.

TESTIMONY SHOWS
RIFT OF KENNEDYS
Divorced Wife Gives Fur

Murder Trial.

GREENWOOD, Miss, February 10.
Further testimony that DIR. Sarah
Ruth Dean had caused the rift be-
tween DR.. John Preston Kennedy,
Greenwood surgeon, and Mrs. Ken
nedy. was given by the divorced wife
today in the murder trial of DR.. Dean,
charged with poisoning the surgeon
last July.
The State has sought to prove that
Kennedy died when he was making
plans to re-wed his former wife.
Appears More Composed.
Mrs. Bessie Barry Kennedy ap-
peared more composed this morning
as she took the stand to resume her
narrative of her marital difficulties.
She was patiently nervous during pre-
liminary testimony Saturday.
Carefully avoiding DR.. Deans eyes,
who kept her face constantly on the
witness, Mrs. Kennedy, blond and
pretty, told the jury she and her hus-
band discussed divorce shortly after
I found DR.. Deans letter to him in
1881"
Did you notice anything unusual
in Preston's conduct after this that
caused you concern?" asked Special
Prosecutor Means Johnston.
yes" Mrs. Kennedy testified. Il
looked around for reason. One day
I entered the side door of my hus-
bands medical building and started
down the hall toward the reception
room. Before reached there Preston
came out and met me. He seemed to
try to detain me, but I walked cas-
ually on into the reception room I
saw DR.. Dean going out the other
door
Preston began to receive suspicious
telephone calls and would stay out
until or 4 o'clock in the morning.
Grew Suspicious.
"He usually stayed out late when
he had labor cases, but I grew sus-
picious when he received so many OF
those calls"
Talking directly to the jury and
twisting a wisp of a handkerchief in
her hands. Mrs. Kennedy said that
"around Easter. in 1881, Preston re-
turned about o'clock one morning
from a supposed maternity case"
II thought it strange he did not
have the odor of ether about him
and he told me he had forgotten
to take ether with him.
THE next morning I went out and
looked in his car and found num-
Der of cigarette butts. His medical
case was in the car and found three
cans of ether IN it. When I called
him up at the office and asked why
he lied to me. of course he became
angry and said I was too suspicious.

ASK NEW MANAGEMENT
FOR KELLY SPRINGFIELD
Minority Stockholders Assert
Company Has Not Done as

NEW YORK, February ia move
to unseat the management of the
Kelly Springfield Tire Co. was
launched today by a committee Of
minority stockholders which is asking
proxies for the annual meeting on
March 13.
The committee asserts that the COM
pany has not done as we'll as other
tire manufacturers. and says "The
Board of Directors and Executive
Committee. in our opinion, have failed
to function properly for the past year
and a half"
Another criticism Is that the salary
of w. H. Lalley. president, is "ex-
ceSsive."
From March, 1881, until Decem-
Der. 1882" says the committees cir
cular, "Mr. Lalley,s salary amounted
to $50, 900 per year. Since that date
1t has been at the rate Of S45 900 per
annum. Such a salary, in our opinion,
could only be justified If the COM
pany had been operating profitably,
or at least, enjoying the general i'm
provement in the tire industry"

and that as a result Of the, re

buttons will be made to the vel
fare Of our country in 1884.
Council Organized
It is my feeling that one Of
the signal accomplishments Of the
department during 1888 is the for
nation Of the Business Advisory
and Planning Council. Invita-
tions were extended to 40 bust
ness leaders to join this council
and every invitation was &C.
cepted. The formation Of the
council merited the approval OF
business leaders to such an ex-
tent that many more of them
voluntarily asked for a place on
the council.
It is the purpose Of this coun-
Gil, through its executive COM
mittees and various subcommit-
tees, to study the problems of
business and commerce and con
fer and counsel with the Secre-
tary of Commerce on what should
be done to bring the most effec-
tive administration of the depart
ments' activities to bear upon the
critical economic pr 0blems facing
our country. The formation of
this council has brought about
a sympathetic and cooperative
partnership between business
leaders and the Department of
Commerce which has been so
vitality essential to business.
Over IS per cent of the ex-
penditures made by the Depart
ment Of Commerce is devoted to
the protection of life and prop
erty. Public security has been
maintained with constant vigi-
lance. The aeronauticS branch,
facing the necessity Of heavy re-
ductions in expenditures, has

being continued unabated.
New Plans for Aviation
Among the outstanding accom-
plishments Of the department for
1884 should be new developments
in the aeronautical field. The
department has proposed the pro-
duction Of inexpensive airplanes.
to sell for $500 or less. and is
carrying through experimental and
advisory work necessary to make
this production possible. This new
production of inexpensive planes
should provide an encouraging
and Salutary stimulation to busi-
ness in 1894.

The Washington times., 1934-01-01

The economic legislation passed
oy the first session Of the seventy
third Congress created several
new Government agencies, which
have formed the bulwark Of our
national recovery program.
The work of these agencies,
such as the National Recovery
Administration, Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration, Public
Works Administration, Federal
Emergency Relief Administration,
Farm Credit Administration, and
others, is we'll known by our
people through the consistent
educational endeavors of the press
and radio.
The effectiveness of these Spe-
cial recovery agencies has. along
with the operations of the reg
ular Government departments,
brought about the most remark
able period of business recovery
ever experienced by any country.
Has Significan' Role
The Department of Commerce
has taken significant role in the
national recovery program, and
the departments plans for 1884
are based upon definite objectives
intended to stimulate business and
economic recovery still further. I
wish to review briefly the work of
the department since March 4 Of
this year, and to present some Of
the departments plans for 1884.

Department Of Commerce have

covery agc cies. Special studies
made by the department have

will form the basis for legislation
for the new Congress, which con-
veneS on January 8, 1884.
Studies made by the depart
ment provided much Of the pack
ground for the securities act,
which was passed on May q, 1888.
Business and industrial data from
the department were uSiljzed IN
the writing of the national indus
trial recovery act and have been
especially helpful in the subse-
Quent administration Of the act.
The department has taken the
leadership in the stock exchange
committee and the communica-
tionS committee, both of which
have made studies that will prob
ably form the basis for legislation
in the coming session of Congress-
These few examples nave been
cited to indicate the research and
fact-finding contributions the de-
partment is making 70 our ma
tional economic program.
Agreements Effected
Through the existing Set-up Of
the district offices of the Depart
ment of Commerce, the Presidents
unemployment agreements were
effected with signed agreements
obtained through these district
offices totaling two and one
quarter million employers affect
ing approximately IS million
workers. When NRA compliance
boards were set up throughout
the country, the district managers
of the department were utilized
