AIR PROPAGANDA
ST|RS JAPANESE
MitcheI's Plane Testimony
in Washington Aids .
Defense Pleas.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC. October 3-Japanese Army
propagandists were furnished a text
today to preach their own gospel OF
the necessity OF an expanded air force
by the testimony in Washington of
Brig. Gen. William Mitchell, retired.
Mitchell yesterday told the Presi-
dents Aviation Commission "our most
dangerous enemy is Japan and our
planes should be designed to attack
Japan. He said so dirigibles could de-
stroy Japan in two days.
The army Is demanding increased
appropriations for defense in the
1856 budget and yesterday pub
lished a startling pamphlet In an effort
to win popular support.
Hints Defenselessness.
An army spokesman said. "If Japan
fails to take the proper defensive
measures with respect to aviation, the
dirigible flotilla of which Gen. Mitchell
dreams would not require even two
days to destroy Japan.
However. We decline to take Gen
Mitchell seriously"
That would be quite an accom-
plishment," said a foreign office
spokesman. laughingly referring tc
Mitchell's picture of so dirigibles de-
stroying Japan. He declined further
comment.
Japanese newspapers did not play
up stories on Mitchells testimony.
Gen. Senjuro Hayashi, minister Of
war, said today at Kanazawa he hac
not seen the army manifesto which
urged Japan to prepare for a possible
war with Russia and to reform its
economic system.
Cites U. S. Superiority.
The manifesto by the army pointed
out a three-to-one airplane superi.
ority of the United States over the
empires forces.
The official pamphlet took the ma
ton by surprise. Uneasiness became
apparent as leading shares dropped
an average of yen (about so cents)
Economic leaders became apprehen'
sive.
The pamphlet boasted that tht
strength of the Japanese army pre-
vented Soviet interference with tht
power of the japanese navy, and made
futile the threats" of Henry L. Slim
son, former United States Secretar!
of State. 1t referred to alleged ut
terances of the late Rear Admira
Edward w. Eberle to the effect th'
United States Navy was capable O.
assuming any offensive necessary tt
enforce the open-door policy il
China.

TEXTILE WORKERS
AGREE TO TRUCE
German Expresses Hope
Employers Will Accept
like TERMS"

BY the Associated Press.
The United Textile Workers offered
today, in letter to President Roose-
welt, to enter a six months truce with
capital, in the hope that it may be
extended" toward permanent indus
trial peace.
The offer was submitted to the
President, in response to his proposal
for an industrial truce, by Francis j.
German. chairman of the Organiza-
tion Committee of the union.
He said in his letter to the President
the Textile Workers Union agreed to
accept for the six-month period the
findings Of the National Textile Labor
Relations Board and the National
Labor Relations Board.
Pledge Continued Work.
"And we shall permit no stoppage
of work in protest against any findings
Of those bodies" he added
German expressed the hope that tex
tile manufacturers would agree to like
terms" so there might be peace in the
industry.
Meanwhile. President Roosevelt con-
tinued his conferences with business
leaders, talking over general conditions
with William c. Potter, New York in
dustrialist and president of the Guar
antee Trust Co.
Later Mr.. Roosevelt discussed gen.
eral labor and industrial conditions
with Senator Wagner. Democrat. of
New York, who played leading part
in framing labor legislation at the last
session of Congress.
President William Green Of the
American Federation of Labor an
nounced he would return here imme-
diately after the organizations con-
vention ends in San Francisco to con-
fer with the Executive. He. of course,
will come freshly instructed by the
convention for adherence to collective
bargaining. institution of the 30-hour
week in industry and the like.
Short Week Is Issue.
Although clarifying statement
from White House aides was inter-
preted as confirming the President S
subscription to collective bargaining
his conversion to the 30-hour week
principle was considered something
else, if previous reaction to that pro-
posal in administration circles may be
taken as a guide.
Despite the fact the House Labor
Committee last Spring reported such
a measure, and its hackers sought to
force vote through the discharge
petition. it fell by the wayside. Secre-
tary Perkins was among the opponents
of laying down such an arbitrary prin-
ciple, although she diSclaimed speaking
for the administration.
The question of code compliance was
understood to have been one of the
administrative issues already consid.
cred by the Recovery Board.
Selection of a successor to Lloyd K
Garrison as chairman of the Nationa
Labor Relations Board was another
task pending today. Garrison resigned
yesterday, effective october 9, to re-
sumo his work as dean of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. The important
role played by the board in arbitratine
industrial disagreements makes the
appointment an important one.

Nev Steel Discovery Reveals
Nitrogen Will Harden Alloys

MUM and in electric furnaces, vacuum
chambers and special "atmospheres"
got rid of impurities.
They reduced the carbon to a few
hundredths or thouSandths of per
cent. But they had trouble in getting
rid Of nitrogen. This suggested that
the nitrogen was getting into the alloy
in some unusual manner, possibly an
indication that it had an unsuspected
value.
Further tests showed that the chro-
MUM was attracting the nitrogen,
that this metal had IAN astounding
affinity for the gas.
The nitrogen, moreover, showed a
very pronounced influence upon the
structure of the metal crystals Of COM
bined iron and chromium. In such

In the laboratories of the Carnegie
Institute of Technology, at Pittsburgh,
it has been discovered that the same
nitrogen which makes crops grow bet
ter will harden certain alloys which
are the basis of the new rustless steels.
To these alloys the nitrogen does the

of ordinary steel. These findings were

Forging another link in the chain
of evidence connecting Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann with the kidnapping
and murder of the Lindbergh baby,
investigators have found that the
original ransom note and a subse-
quent one received by Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh we're torn from the same
piece of writing paper.
A quantity Of this same kind OF
paper-known as Fifth avenue bond
has been found at the home OF
Hauptmann.
Authorities are convinced that the
torn-paper discovery provides incon-
trovertible proof that the person who
wrote the ransom note found on the
window sill of the baby's nursery also
wrote the other notes and letters re-
ceived during the blood money" ex-
Uoruion negotiations.
If further proof is needed, they say
there is the testimony by recognized
handwriting experts that the writing
in all the notes was done by the same
! man-Hauptmann- the fact that
in each of the notes were found three
small holes-obviouSly punctured In
all the sheets of paper while stacked
in one pile
Investigators who examined the
series of notes after conclusion of the
ransom negotiations were struck by
the fact that the window note and
one Of the early letters received from
the kidnapers appeared to have been
torn from the same sheet Of folded
writing paper.
Microscopists later examined thu
torn edges of both notes and have
established positively" that both
sheets of paper were made by tear
| ing a single sheet of the cheap linen
paper along the fold at the center
The paper is Of brand sold widely
in a chain of New York City l0-cent
stores.
New Jersey authorities, 1t is under
stood, will make much Of this scien-
tific testimony in the trial of Haupt-
mann for kidnapping and murder

the importance they bear toward the

the ransom notes in the chain con.

ticipation in the Jersey crime now

I. Federal, State and private au-

HIGH COURT RULES
TAXI ORDER VOID
Holds Congress Deprived
Commission of Right
to Require Meters.

The District Court Of Appeals has
held that the Public Utilities Commis-
sion did have the power to require the
installation of meters on taxicabs, but
expressed the belief the authority is
now ineffective, as a result Of con-
greSsional action designed to prevent
enforcement of the meter requirement
1t was believed this decision leaves
the meter question in status QUO un-
less Congress takes some action which
will permit the commission TO exer-
else its power.
The case was brought into court
when the Bell Cab Co. in 1881 dis
puted the power of the commission
to enforce an order requiring the in
stallation of meters on all taxica bs
in the city. The case was argued be-
fore Justice Jesse G.. Adkins Of the
District Supreme Court, and he de.
cided on April 81. 1882, that the COM
mission had power to enforce the
order.
Rider Withdrew Power.
The taxicab company then carried
the case to the Court OF Appeals
While the case was pending there
however, Congress passed a rider tt
the District appropriation bill ex.
pressly forbidding the expenditure oi
any District funds in enforcement o.
the meter order.
As q result of this order, which wa.
passed after a bitter fight by op.
ponents of meter installation, thu
commission stood powerless TO make
its order effective.
In .ts opinion. handed down yes.
terday. the Court of Appeals said, ir
part:
Ruling Suspends Order.
1.-THE court, being of the opinion thai
the decree appealed from is in all re-
spects correct and should be affirmed
the same is hereby affirmed. But il
appearing to the court that Congress
has, since the decision Of the lower
court, passed certain legislation in.
tended to make ineffective the carry
ing out of the order Of the Public
Utilities Commission insofar as the
same provided and required the in
stallation of meters in public taxicabs
it is now bv agreement Of counsel.
"Adjudged and decreed that sc
much of the order of the Public Util'
tiles Commission as requires installa.
tion and operation of meters be sus.
pended until such time as Congress
may legislate further and definitely
with relation to the policy to be pur.
sued in the District on that subject. .
The case for the commission was
argued by Peoples Counsel William
A. Roberts. Richmond B. Keech, now
a member of the Public Utilities Com
mission. as peoples counsel had inter
vened in the case and opposed the
carrying out of the order.
