SHANGHAI, April 81 R).-Jap-
anese frowns on aircraft purchases by
China have gone unheeded by foreign
airplane dealers.
Their spectacular selling campaigns,
marked by caring aerial tricks over

The Italian air ace, Maj. Mario de
Bernardo, now ~ China demonstrat-
ing an Italian pursuit plane, set new
standards of daring today. Flying a
red plane, he looped, rolled and twisted
in hair-raising maneuvers barely over
the downtown buildings.
Frank Hawks, whose feats in the air
have made him as well-known in some
part of China as he is in tie United
States, also has participated in the
Shanghai demonstrations.
A slight accident recently at Man.
chan1, however, has put Hawks and
his bomber temporarily out of the race
for sales, pending the arrival from
America of new props for the plane
The incident occurred during a demon
stration before Gen. Chang Kai-Shek

necessary.

ators Borah. Republican, of Idaho:
Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma;
McCarran. Democrat, Of Nevada:
Adams, Democrat, of Colorano, and

A possibility that President Roose-
welt might be called upon to help end
strife in the soft coal fields appeared
today as Hugh S. Johnson's deadline
for settlement-at dusk-approached.
johnson told the operators, who are
objecting strongly to N. R. AS wage
increases and hour cuts, that he want
ed the situation cleaned up" by

give a solution" unless things were
settled by then.
Thus far, the President has taken
no part in the coal problems, COM
plicated by strikes and bloodshed.
Alabama operators and Gov. Kump
of West Virginia, both have signified
their intention of appealing to the
Chief Executive If a speedy settlement
is not forthcoming.
Since Johnsons order establishing
the seven-hour day and higher wages
in the Southern coal fields went into
effect March 81, approximately 81 900
miners have been on strike in Ala
bama and resultant disorders sent Ma
tional Guardsmen into the troubled
area.

CURRY, TAMMANY
CHIEF, IS OUSTED
Man of BIunders' Removed
by Executives by Vote of
ID 1-3 to 10 1-6.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. April 21-John r.
Curry's opposition to men who win
elections has cost him the leadership
of Tammany Hall.
The silvery-haired chief. dubbed by
his opponents the man Of bhnders, "
was removed by the Executive Com
mittee last night by vote of IA l-3
to 10 1-6 One member. controlling
half vote, was not present
1t was the most drastic action ever
taken against a WigWam leader in the
1875 years of the halls existence, al
though threats of similar action
against leaders in the past has re-
suited in designations.
William P. Kenneally. chairman of
the committee, will call a meeting
next week to select Curry's successor,
which, however, will not be an indi-
vidual but a steering committee of
three. five or seven members. No
agreement has been reached on the
membership of the committee.
Charge Loss of Patronage.
Curry's opponents charged that
through a series of political blunders
he had lost patronage, the cardinal
sin of a political leader, until the
Tammany Tiger had become a very
lean animal indeed.
At Chicago Curry opposed the NOM
ination of Franklin D. Roosevelt and
supported the candidacy of Al Smith
That cost the hall plenty when Jim
Farley began handing out Federal
patronage.
Curry opposed the nomination of
Herbert H. Lehman for Governor and
the election of Lehman didn't help
the hall when State patronage was
distributed.
The leader had stood by Jimmy
Walker, New York's mayor, to the end
of Walkers political career. 1t did
not add to Curry's prestige when
Jimmy resigned during an investiga-
ton and left the country.
Failed to Reflect O'Brien.
The last blow, however, and by far
the worst, was his failure to secure
reelection for Mayor John P. O'Brien.
The fusion victory by a margin that
"Ou4d 1AdNC bCCl SOOu. SNCIl
for a Democrat, cooked his political
goose. Today he is out.
Until the vote was taken by the
wigwam Executive Committee, Curry
had maintained that he would win.
He had been their leader five years,
he told the committee and there are
no charges against me-"
eff mistakes were made, they were
mistakes any leader could have made.
There has been no leader in the past
who has not made mistakes" a dis
trict leader quoted him as saying.
But the committee was in no mood
for excuses. Curry was offered the
alternative of resigning or having a
vote taken on his custer. He chose
to fight.
AS Curry left the hall after his
custer his only comment was:
Il have nothing to say. I am going
home, have dinner with the family
and 60 to the movies"
He was accompanied by former
Mayor O'Brien as he entered his linn
CUISINE. where Mrs. Curry had waited
three hours to hear at once her hus-
bands fate.
