program to General Motors Corp.
Alfred P. Sloan, jr., president of the
corporation, who announced the pro-
gram yesterday, along with the COM
pany's report for the first half of
the year, said most of the money
would be spent for machinery.
Will Aid Employment.
"It will be recognized" he said,
that this program will make con-
tribution to employment, as affecting
the capital goods industries. and many
communities in which General Motors
operates should ultimately benefit by
the increased employment in pros
pect."
Domestically, it was explained, the
program involves a broadening of the
ccmpany's policy of decentralization
of manufacturing operations.
Capacity of plants in England and
Germany is to be increased. A new
factory has been opened at Muncie,
IND, and another is being constructed
ut Saginaw, Mich.
New Plants at Pontiac.
There also are to be new factories
for the Pontiac and Fisher Body di-
visions at Pontiac. Mich. and mod

plants at Flint, Mich, and of the
Durant plant at Lansing, Mich. The
latter plant has been purchased for
the Olds division.

State Industry Aid
 In Guarding Workers
Director of OccupationaI Disease Bureau Explains Inc
 dustria Safeguard of Health

Connecticut industry Is doing more today than ever before to provide and maintain the necessary measures to safeguard the health of those working with materials dangerous to health, according to Dr Albert s. Gray, director of the bureau of Occupational diseases of the state department of health, in the departments weekly broadcast today. It is good business to pro- vide and maintain these health measures, he said, for industry is penalized through compensation costs and decreased production if it's environment causes or aggra- vates disease.
 0ccupational disease control is a problem which has developed only in the last century, Dr Gray pointed out. If the famed King Tut" who ruled Egypt about 1900 B. c. had come back to life 300 years ago he would not have found things very, different from the days of his rule, he said. Horse and boat were still the chief means of trans- portation and communication, man. ufacturing was still done in the home, the modern factory was un- heard of,, illumination was not much different. Had King Tut" been recalled from the dead within the last 100 years, however, 1t would have been difficult to per- suade him that he was not on an- other planet. The last 100 years have seen greater technical devcl- opment than has occurred in the previous 1900 years, Dr Gray said.
 This development has resulted In increased industrial activity, and In the use of many materials and processes in industry that will af- feet health if the worker is un- July exposed to them. New solvents.

'DR DONALD JONES
 TO GIVE LECTURE
New Havener to Deliver Spragg Series at East
 Lansing Next Month

Dr Donald F. Jones, head of the genetics department of the Con- necticut Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven, has accept ed an invitation to give the Spragg lectures at Michigan State college, East Lansing, Mich, the week of February II.
 This series of six addresses Is given yearly in memory of Pro- lessor Frank Azor Spragg, one of the foremost plant breeders in the United States, who made notable contributions in the development of better strains of rye, oats, wheat and other important farm crops. Professor Spragg was killed in an automobile accident in 1924. For many years he had been a member of the staff if the Mich igan Experiment Station and of the State College. After his death friends collected a memorial fund part of which is used to finance the lectures.
 At the special memorial meeting, Dr Jones will speak on Luther Burbank, whose experiments In plant breeding have long been the subject Of scientific controversy and public wonder. Dr Jones is particularly well equipped to give an unbiased presentation because he has made a hobby of studying Burbank's life and of writing his biography.
 The subjects of Dr Jones' scien- tific lectures will follow the line of his research and experiments at the station. CD Genes, Present and Missing. CD The 1ntcrpreta- ton of Hybrid Vigor. (3) The Production of Inbred Strains of Corn. (4) The Testing and Util- ization of Inbred Strains of Corn. and finally, Q special lecture on the Connecticut Agricultural Ex- pertinent Station.
 Dr Jones is we'll known for his contributions in the field of genet ics. A few years ago he introduced a method of inbreeding and cross- ing to develop new strains of corn that Is now in use wherever maize is grown as a commercial crop. He is a fellow of the American Acad- emy of Arts and Sciences.

 The pedestal of this gyro1pilot will have a repeater motor equip ped with the necessary contact mechanism and reversible electric drive motor for operating the steering wheel. The slightest movc- ment of the huge liner off the de- sired route will start. this mechan- ism working and cause the helm to keep the ship constantly on her course.
 The gyro compass is not unlike the common toy gyroscope in ap- pearance, being spinning wheel so mounted that 1t Is free to TO- tate about its own axle, and cap- able by the use of supporting rings of free movement. about a hori- zontal and vertical axis. Unlike the magnetic needle, 1t. is entirely un- affected by polar attraction, and depends only on the momentum of It's, revolving body for powers of direction. The gyro-compass will be housed below deck. where 1t will be protected from the weather and least affected by rolling. Not only will 1t maintain the ship con- stantly on its course, but 1t will keep a permanent graph of the courses stecred by the ship.

"It must have been wonderful" 1 Gale said slowly. Sometimes I've dreamed of going abroad. Whats Paris like?"
 DRIAN laughed. Well, it's ID about as different from this town as anything you could pos- sibly imagine. What you find in Paris depends on what you're looking for when you go there. It's beautiful, of course-wonderful buildings and the streets are the handsomest in the world. Lots of little parks and squares. And pie turesque old bridges. You can see the most fashionable people in the world there, and some of the dow diest. Then there are the muse- ums and the shops, and the side walk cafes. There's the night life, too-though not so much of 1t as you might think. I went there to study, but that's all over now"

This work not only establishes the extent and nature of any health hazard which may be present. hut provides the necessary data for control, Dr Gray explained.
