PARIS. Dec. l6.-The case of Eugene
weidmann, German ex-convicth who
confessed strangling Jean de Koven,
young Brooklyn dancer, was cited to-
day by Interior Minister Marx Dormoy
as "a burning example" of the need
for Tightening passport restrictions
aginst foreign criminals
M. Dormoy said he would propose
two new measures to the French Cab
met Saturday as a result of Weld
mann's confession in six murders:
All foreigners would be required to
have their fingerprints taken directly
on passport visas when granted by
French consulates;
Foreigners would be required to pre-
sent the fingerprinted visas to police
for verification, within 48 hours after
arrival in France.
An autopsy report said the 22-year-
old Brooklyn girl had been strangled
with two towels tied together and by a
handkerchief which had been jammed
into her mouth with such violence that

RAIL COMPETITION
CALLED ESSENTIAL
Pennsy Head in Favor of
Simplifying Corporate
Structure of Line.
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Ofhcials of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Co. told Senate committee to-
day they believed strong competition
Is essential to the financial success of
the Nations railroads.
Testifying before the Senate Rail-
road Finance Committee, Martin W.
Clement, president of the road, as
serted also that he believed Federal
regulation to Simplify the complex
corporate structure of the Pennsyl-
vania system would be desirable.
Noting that the Pennsylvania oper-
ated bus lines throughout the East,
Chairman Wheeler of the committee
asked MIR. Clement if he believed it
would be good thing for the railroads
to own all bus lines.
Awful Headache.
1T wouldn't be a good thing for
the railroads; it would be an awful
headache" the witness replied.
The Pennsylvania policy of acquir-
Ing other railroads, Mr.. Clement con-
tended, had made it strong COM
petitive" system. Purchase of stock
IN the Wabash Railroad, a potential
competitor, put us in a position to
compete with other strong lines" he
declared.
The Pennsylvania's president con-
ceded his road probably was the
strongest system in the country finan-
cially, but added: 1T the large, strong
lines in the United States start break
ing down we're all going to break
down together"
Senator Wheeler recalled that Mr..
Clement had testified the company
purchased stock in the New York, New
Haven & Hartford Railroad in order
to establish more friendly relations"
between the two roads.
Partly Hearsay.
Mr.. Clement said his testimony on
that score was partly "hearsay."
Il was probably a track hand when
the Pennsylvania first>bought into the
New York. New Haven & Hartford"
he told the committee.
"You weren't a track hand when
they increased their holdings to OBJ
tain more friendly relations in 1929"
Senator Wheeler retorted
Our policy was that we didn't care
TO dominate the situation in New
England, but We didn't care to have
our competitors dominate it either"
Mr.. Clement said.
Senator Wheeler said yesterday that
Mr.. Clement could never convince"
the people of New England the Penn
sylvania didn't dominate that terri
tory.

You will find sugar naples in every
State East of the Great Plains. They
seem to reach the highest develop
ment in the northeast and in the
higher places of the southern Ap-
palachian Mountains.
1t is an attractive ornamental tree
and has few insect foes. The ones
growing in the forest have a smaller
crown than those in the open places.
The naples are the first to Join
the Autumn parade of color. Then
you can see your tree for miles, its
wonderful colors blending or lead

The young trees have silvery bark,
which becomes quite dark and deeply

While the sugar maple is our best
known maple there are nearly 100
species distributed over the Northern
Hemisphere. Thirteen are native to
oui SOulltly.
The maple syrup and sugar crop
harvested from the sugar naples is
one of the most important Spring
crops. In Vermont, Ohio, New York.
Michigan and Pennsylvania, the trees
are tapped. and from IS to 20 gallons
of the colorless sweet sap are taken
from each tree. Over two million
dollars is the value placed on the
sugar and syrup.
The Indians were the first to learn
how to extract the maple sap and to
boil 1t down for a delicious sweet.
The first maple fudge ever made was
in Vermont, after the job of surgar-
lng-off had been completed Then
nelghbors were invited in, the great
