Hulett reached this conclusion after

pers. predicted yesterday.
Writing In the National Aeronautic
Magazine, Sikorsky disclosed his plant
already is at work on two new air
giants, one 40 tons and the other 65
tons, as against the largest Sikorsky
Clipper Of 10 tons now in service on
the Pan-American Anyways. The new
Martin China Clipper, largest sea-
plane yet built in this country, Is
only as tons.
TO my mind, scheduled airplane
passenger and express service across
the Atlantic Is already at hand, and
the craft to accomplish this will be
flying castles" Sikorski declared.
The best vehicle is the large flying
boat with a range above 5000 miles.
With further improvements In the
types Of planes we have already built,
these clipper ships can have a flying
range Of 1000 miles, carry a reason
able pay load and possess all of the
luxurious comforts of an ocean liner.
Without pressing for high speeds, 1t
Is easily possible for large flying boats
to cross the Atlantic in a. hours"
Some of the details of the flying
boat Of the future, he predicted, will
be a speed of between $50 and $50
miles per hour, a flying height Of be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 feet with
oxygen supplied to the cabin, accom-
modations for from 80 to 40 passen-
gers with comfortable berths, dining
room, promenade deck and dane
ing floor.
Regular daily flying service across
the Atlantic will come within three
to five years" Sikorsky said. and added:
II personally do not visualize
stratospheric flying across the ocean
It is feasible and possible, but there
are no great advantages, and GER
tainly the comforts of the passengers
would be less. For these reasons be-
lieve the conventional ships flying
from 5000 to 10000 feet high, with
some provision for releasing oxygen in
the cabins, offer the most practical
solution to long distance overocean

BERLIN, November 30.-The dis

must help to perpetuate.
The decision conforms with changes
proposed in laws regarding divorce
and illegitimacy by Hans Frank, Nazi

say the laws changes, still unan-
nounced, are based on the principle
that "the family Is the trustee Of
the people"
Increasing grounds for divorce will
be recognized, 1t was said, among
them failure to bear children, steril-
ity and non-acceptance of Nazi
teachings.
The new amendments also are ex-
pected to provide financial help, IL
not subsidies, for unmarried mothers
and care for illegitimate children in
state homes II the mothers cannot
provide for them.

SECONDARY ROADS. !.
LOSE STATE FUND.
Commission HaIts Mont.

Is Settled.
BY JACK ALLEN,


ROCKVILLE. Md. November So
Maintenance Of secondary roads and
payment Of highway debt service was
discontinued in Montgomery County
by the State Roads Commission today
and will not be resumed until the
county satisfies the deficit existing in
its account with the commission.
Oficial notification of the suspen-
sion Of those benefits. obtained under
the gasoline tax fund, was received
by Ira c. Whitacre, clerk to the
county commissioners, IN q letter from
DR.. Homer z. Tabler, chairman of
the State Roads Commission, who said
his organization had no alternative but
to take such action.
Court Action Threatened.
Legal proceedings to prohibit and
enjoin the road body from any fur
ther extension Of maintenance or debt
service funds to counties whose ac-
counts show overdrafts have been
threatened by counsel for one county
whose account is in satisfactory con-
dition, DR.. Tabler explained
Montgomery, which Is in the States
debt to the extent Of $245,75766 for
road work and debt service, is one of
half a dozen or more counties that
will be affected by the order.
Bond Issue Possible.
The matter will be referred to the
Montgomery commissioners at their
meeting Tuesday, Whitacre declared.
1t is expected that a bond issue may
have to be sold to retire the debt, for
the road work must be continued and
no provisions for that item was made
when the new county budget was pre-
pared.
Shortly before adopting the current
budget the commissioners had obtained
a promise from the highway body that
the gasoline tax benefits would be con-
tinued and only small portion of the
county's annual allotment would be
applied to the deficit.
It Is estimated that approximately
s7l 900 is required each year for MAIN
tenance and debt service In Mont
gomery.

CRIME DETECTION
CENTERS URGED
lndianan Suggests Each

NEW YORK, November 30.-Before
the Interstate Commission on Crime
Attorney General Philip Lutz. jr., of
Indiana advocated today the estab-
hshment of O co-ordinated crime de-
lection bureau for all States Of the
Union.
College professors and law enforce
ment officials met to hear Lutz and
other speakers outline proposed State
reciprocal legislation designed to aid
neighboring States in the pursuit and
capture of criminals.
Lutz's plan entails creation of a bu-
reau similar to the one operated by
the Department Of Justice. The Sug-
gested bureau would be supervised by
the State attorney general and would
maintain q fingerprinting and Bertil-
lon department
Own Clearing Houses.
As proposed by Lutz, each State
would have its own clearing house OF
criminal information.
Every scrap of information cleaned
about crimes, suspects and arrested
persons would be forwarded tmme-
diately to the State crime clearing
house.
There it would be available to sim
liar crime detection ofnces In every
other State.
Every peace officer in the State
would cooperate with the State bu-
reau. Within two days after a mans
arrest the peace officers of cities or
counties would be required to furnish
two copies of all information noted,
even down to conversation Of the pris-
onerS.
Daily Reports Wanted.
Daily reports would be required
about all felonies committed in the
territories Of the various peace officers.
Daily they would be required to report
stolen cars.
Each State thus would have a COM
plete index Of crime within its bor-
ders and the information would help
trap criminals who crossed State lines
It was asserted.
The conference will study the pro-
posal Monday and probably present
it in shape to be offered to State Leg
