to climb across the narrow way
between a warehouse and the
tenement in which they lived.
Wedged in Shaft
The narrow shaft was covered
with wire mesh concealed by tar
paper. The high heels worn by
Lorraine and Marilyn punched
through the thin covering and
the screaming girls plunged to
the bottom, where the shaft was
only 10 inches wide. Their
bodies were wedged in the shaft.
Their frightened playmate,
Carmela, called police. While a
crowd of 1000 in the street
cheered. Patrolman William Goss-
man was lowered by a rope,
which was used to hoist Lorraine
to the roof top.
Spine Fractured
Then DR.. Philip zoller, 81, an

rescue Marilyn. He reported,
however, that her spine was
fractured. He said she could not
be lifted up and would have to
be moved through hole in the
16.inch brick wall on the first
floor Of the warehouse.
While DR.. Zoller gave Marllyn
a hypodermic to lessen her
agony, firemen broke through
the wall. Smiling braVely, the
little girl was carried to the
street on a stretcher while the
crowd cheered.
Both children were injured SO
badly, however, that they died
in a hospital. Lorraine's skull

Senate's special air safety commit

appointed to investigate the cause
of the crash which took the life of
Senator Bronson Cutting.
In its report the committee con-
deemed the administration of the
Bureau of Air Commerce under
Vidal and Martin, charging that
it was shot through with politics
and favoritism, that Vidal was too
amiable" and easygoing, and that
Martin lacked the professional
qualifications for the post he then
held as assistant director of the
bureau.
This report was submitted to
the Senate in June, 1886. 1t con-

Martin:
1--WE question the professional
equipment Of Mr.. Martin. A
man of much larger expert

He must be chosen not with
reference to his political affili-

his professional ability, his

qualities are not combined in
Mr.. Martin. We can say this

INDUSTRY MAPS
1888 PROGRAM
FOR PROSPERITY
8-Point Platform Based
on Hope for Peace

NEW YORK, Dec. 9 U.N.SJ
Having issued its demand for free.
dom from Government shackles,
American industry, as represented
by the National Association OF
Manufacturers, today turned to a
study Of its relations with labor.
The association. which has mo-
bilized more than 1000 leading
industrialiSts at its congress in
the Waldorf.Astoria. was to con-
duct its labor studies today in
closed session.
The special labor discussions are
an innovation this year, previous
congresses having closed with the
annual platform adopted last
night.
HOPE FOR PEACE
The 1888 platform, aimed at re-
newed national prosperity next
year, was based on hopes for in
dustrial peace at home and inter
national peace abroad.
The association went on record
as EN- phi a atically opposed to
fasciSm, communism cor Govern
ment collectivism in any of its
forms
Action to iron out the seasonal
ups and downs of production and
employment was asked and main
tenance Of the open shop urged.
The industrial chiefs adopted
an eight-point platform for 1888
which stressed the need of govern
mental encouragement for busi-
ness. It follows:
!. Encouragement of private
initiative-the basis of competi-
tive American industry.
2. Maintenance and extension
Of sound industrial practices by
industry.
3. Equitable employment re-
lations throughout industry.
SEEK NEW MARKETS
4. Creation Of new and
broader markets.
S. Constructive efforts to al
leviate depression effects.
6. Sound Government policies.
7. Cooperation with agricul-
ture.
8. Peace.
Industrial leaders from all over
the country, representing the
whole vast field of American in,
dustry, expressed themselves as
eager to contribute to the nations S
progress and formally pledged full
support to, the principles of the
platform. The pledge concluded:
"AS industry has progressed
in the past, so has America. AS
it progresses In the future, so
will America"

5-foot mural, which is one of
four to be used in decoration Of
the Post Office here.
OUTDOOR SCENES
The murals, depicting outdoor
scenes typical Of this community,
are painted on canvas and i'm
posed on the walls by a special
process said to insure perma-
nency. The medium employed by
the artist is called tempera, a
combination of pigment, water
and yolk of eggs, which provides
soft, flat tones and forms a dur.
able surface. Considered superior
to oils for this type of mural
decoration, tempera was first
used extensively by artists of the
twelfth century, it was said.
OTHERS PLANNED
Other post office buildings soon
to be adorned with similar murals
are those at Upper Marlboro and
Silver Spring, in Maryland. Off
cialS of the paintings and sculp-
lures section said they hoped to
undertake decoration of the post
office at Arlington, Va, as soon as
funds are made available.

for the paintings made in this vi

Headline Folk
and What
They Do
Murals Denote End Of
High Kicking, Low
Thinking.
By LEMUEL r. PARTON.

TT SEEMS possible that Rockefeller
Center was trying for a delicate
cultural balance in getting three
L alien artists to do its murals.
Right, left and center, in the order
named, were the muralists.
There was an inevitable clash, and
now, after five years, compromise.
Lenin's head, by the hard-boiled,
hard bitten Mexican Rivera, blocked
out in 1884, has been replaced by a
conventional mural by the Spanish
Senor Sert, with the orthodox theme
of Americas continuing development
along the old lines. The compromise
appears in Senor Serts restrained
sepia monochrome, instead Of his
usual lavish outpouring of gold and
scarlet, verdant green and ecstatic
blue.
Senor Sert is the most millionairish
Of all living painters. Here he pipes
down. If we didn't go left with Lenin,
our new era isn't going to be as gaudy
as the last one 1t will be sober,
industrious, thrifty, monochrome age,
with no more high kicking and low
thinking. That seems to be what
Senor Sert and the Rockefeller Center
people are saying.
When the big, booming, 61-year-old
Spanish painter is going strong, he
makes Veronese just a wet wash with
a touch of bluing. He was regular
standby and emergency painter for
his friend, King Alfonso. Con
mucho gusto," he can swing the whole
spectrum, with bold, regal effects
which are the delight of kings. He
has done many magnificent rooms in
Europe, including the Madrid chapel
of the Duke of Alba, now Frances
commercial envoy to England, and
Sir Phillip Sassoon's resplendent ball
rooms His first exhibition in this
country was in 1924, when he received
prolonged critical salvos.
He was born in Barcelona of the
ancient Spanish gentry, and studied
in Paris in his early youth. From the
first, he developed boldneSs and

but didn't-knew him for it's very
own. His new monochrome fits an
age "sicklied DER with the pale cast
of thought"
In the current argument between
government and business, it is in
teresting to note that the temple of
business gets back to the muses. and
the classical symbols of work and
labor, after its brief leftward devia-
ton in 1888. In Washington. such
bold innovators as Henry Varnum
Poor and George Biddle still state tor
tuous themes in the Government
murals. But there's not so much
splash in those Rockefeller Center
murals as there might have been in,
say, 1928.

have the deepest respect for the
first attitude, when it is whole
hearted. I have. for instance, the
deepest respect for Mr.. Gerald Heard
the British pacifist, and for Miss
Vera Britain, the English novelist,
with whom l had the pleasure of a
conversation this week. Miss Britain
went through the last war, which she
has most knowingly described, and has
come to a final conclusion, as far as
she herself is concerned. That con-
clusion is: War is evil. Any kind OF
peace is better than any kind of war.
Better 'Nazi invasion of Great Brit
ain. and its occupation for several
nerations, than to try to overcome
war with war. Endure anything,
rather than resist with force. For
resistance with force turns you, your
self, your country and your nation,
into the pattern of behavior OF the
aggressor. You cannot defend civil
ization, I think she would argue, ex-
cept with the instruments of civiliza-
ton Resort to the instruments OF
barbarism, and you, yourself, become
a barbarian.
Nom Resisters Not Dramatic.
This is the attitude of some of the
noblest spirits. 1t is the attitude
which Mr.. Sidney Howard has sem
sitively depicted in THE Ghost OF
Yankee Doodle"-and found it diff
cult to dramatic, since drama is
struggle. and the non-resister is not
dramatic. Nevertheless, We should be
grateful to him for having used his
arts to put on the American stage
the intellectual query of these times.
If YOU believe that life is struggle
between good and eyil-if you have a
dualist philosophy-this will not be
your viewpoint You will conceive of
peace, as the positive demonstration
in life and behavior of certain positive
principles. 1t is not very difficult to
define what those principles are. They
are. that individuals as well as ma
tions must live with the most sensitive
respect for each other and conduct
their affairs inside the spirit and let
ter of law.
1t is quite impossible, in the long
run, for either individuals or groups,
or nations, or classes inside nations,
to live together in peace without the
implicit and sincere acceptance of
certain standards. and codes of be-
havior. The resistant paciflst will
cherish these standards as the first
condition of peace, and will resist their
violation at every single point. For
his thesis will be that the accumula-
ton of failures to resist encroach-
ment upon these standards, will pro-
gressively contribute to abolish the
standards altogether, and eventually
land us in a world where there is no
code, no law, no principle and no
standards. And such a world is the
barbaric domain of naked force. Such
