District Attorney James r. Fleming
said today officials Of the General Mo-
tors Corp, Ford Motor Co., and Chrys-
Ter Corp. would be taken into "nomi-
nal custody on grand jury indict-
ments charging them with conspiracy
to violate the Sherman antitrust law.
Individuals and companies named
In the indictments, returned late yes
terday, will begin posting bonds with
Judge Thomas w. Slick Tuesday, Mr..
Fleming said.
Il expect the executives to appear
voluntarily" Mr.. Fleming explained.
"If they do not. we will institute re-
moval proceedings against those who
do not appear"
Counsel for the Ford company, Mr..
Fleming said, indicated willingness
today to furnish bonds as soon as
required.
He said he and his staff we're
pleased with the results" Of the
investigation which led to the indict-
ments. He described it as the biggest
trust investigation since the Standard
Oil prosecutions in 1910.
The indictments charge coercion OF
dealers and discrimination against in
dependent finance firms in operation
by the three manufacturers of their
own finance concerns.
The maximum penalty for violation
Of the antitrust law is one years in,-
prisonment or a $4,000 fine, or both.

Mr. Hardy evinced considerable
chagrin at the escape Of the wit
nesses, declaring:
1T is very difficult to understand
how these witnesses have disappeared
without assistance from some one"
The Federal prosecutor said French
authorities have been asked to take
Gutenberg of the German liner Ham,
burg when it arrives at Cherbourg.
He said a warrant for Gudenberg's
arrest had been issued.
Little Hope for Arrest.
Mr.. Hardy expressed little hope
French officials would be able to inter-
cept Gutenberg. 1t was recalled a
similar attempt to bring about the
return of DR.. Griebl failed when the
master of the Bremen ignored re-
quests to put him ashore.
simultaneously, the importance OF
the investigation was emphasized by
a report that j. Edgar Hoover. chief
of Federal Bureau of Investigation at
Washington, d. c.. has made several
trips to New York to supervise the
fast-growing ramifications of the case.
In today's hearing on the four crew
members of the Bremen, the applica-
ton for bail described Boehhke as
'leader"-a post for maintaining
political contact between the ships
crew and the German Nazi party.

and Johann Hart. 40, baker. $4,000
bail. Boehnkes bail was set at SIS, 900.
Federal Judge Vincent Leibell over
ruled defense protests against high
bail. declaring:
The Government Of the United
States is not to be thwarted in con-
ducting an investigation according to
law"
You may be certain" he told de-
fense counsel, that these witnesses

AS time passed, the physician-pa-

bedside pad. Just as the factory
whistles were screeching 4 o'clock
"A sudden, excruciating pain, SIM
liar to being hit by club, struck at
the base OF the skull. followed by dizzi-
ness, stiffening Of the neck, nausea

In the morning "the terrific pains,
those resembling hugh tidal waves,
seemingly had vanished" and the
hangover effects began.

women was the Nations first prob
lem, and added:
II don't want to be personal about
this, but it is too bad we don't have
somebody in Washington who can get
the Job done"
The speaker said a great basic"
political issue was forming over the
question OF whether government
should police or manage business.
The problem he said. was whether
the law should tell business what it
cannot do or whether business should
be told by lone mortal man. what
it must do.
Mr.. Landon predicted the breakup
of the Democratic party because "the
President, in spite Of broad consist
ency of stated objectives, has led his
party into a program of many diver
gent, contradictory and irreconcilable
policies"
Can't Agree on Purpose.
'Now it Is apparent" he asserted,
that even with all of its political sue
cess the Democratic party cannot and
will not hold together because it is
not able to agree on consistent mis-
sion or purpose.
mo longer Is it possible to conceal
the deep and bitter differences which
divide the Democratic party and the
breaking up Of factions that elected
President Roosevelt"
Reviewing the relationship of gov.
ernment and private enterprise in
other periods Of American history, Mr.
Landon said:
There is very marked difference
between the program of the former
Progressive party, the ideas of Presi-
dent Wilson, Theodore Roosevelt and
William Jennings Bryan, and those of
our present Chief Executive.
THE program Of these earlier lead
ers was for Government to tell busi-
ness what 1t could not do in the way
Of anti-social practices. Our Chief
Executive today continually tries to
tell business and agriculture-to tell
you and me-what we must do to be
wise and competent according to his
lights.
There is a world of difference be-
tween these two conceptions" he ar
gued, "the difference between policing
and management-betwe the law
telling business what 1t cannot do and
one mortal man telling it what it
must do.
Basic Issue Finally Evolved.
$50 it seems that a significant and
great basic issue has finally been
evolved. After 40 years of develop
ment it can now form the foundation
for distinct and strong party align
ments.
I'VE all agree government must do
things today that we did not conceive
of even a generation ago. But as we
extend Federal Government power to
curb economic oppression, we must
approach the question with q caution
born of competence, not with decision
born of recklessness.
If the problem of overconcentrated
(economic) power is not met with in
telligence, the temptation is to meet it
with violence" Mr.. Landon continued
Revolution seeks to achieve what
could have been worked out by peace
full means"

ably the roller bearings are the most
popular, and lubricants used have a
marked effect on the performance
of such wheels. Three lubricants
have been recommended by the man
ufacturer of a disc wheel with roller
bearings. They are: s. A. E. 10 auto
mobile engine oil alone; S. A. E.
10 oil plus an equal volume Of oil Of
the same viscosity containing colloidal
graphite, and castor oil alone.
Some of the place winners at Akron
last year used special non-friction
oil, such as is used for breaking in
close-fitting parts of automobile and
airplane engines.
Bob Ballard, 12-year-old interna-
tional champion, removed the wheels
OF his racer before the finals last year,
cleaned the bearings and then lubri-
Gated them with q high-grade house,

and 10-cent store in the country.
Slight Gambler Advised.
Test the running OF the WneelS you
use on your car with various types OF
oils, and select the kind that gives
the best performance.
Research with soap box racer wheels
has shown by actual trials at Akron
that the most satisfactory results are
obtained when the wheels are given
slight Gambler. Gambler, or fitting
the wheels so that the tread or dis
tance between opposite wheels is less
at the bottom than at the top, enables
the wheels to run at vertical posi-
ton, where tire drag Is the least,

diameter, including the tires, and the
tire width itself must not be more
than 2 inches.
The tires must also be Of solid rub
ber. Cars with pneumatic tires will
not be permitted to race.
In choosing your wheels, remember
that they cannot be home made.
They should be of standard manufac-
ture, and can be purchased new, or
taken from some vehicle such as a
wagon or baby buggy. Local mer-
chants plan to stock kits Of tools and
equipment which will include wheels
and bearings, axles and steering
gears, among other materials.
Probably the most popular wheel in
the race finals at Akron, Ohio, last
year was the l2-inch rubber tired
disc wheel equipped with roller bear
ings. AS perfect balance in a wheel
is desirable, the disc wheel lends
itself more readily to a change in
weight distribution to get proper bal
ance.
Bearings Necessary.
If you use disc wheels, place the
wheels on the axle, twirl them and
let them run free until all the mo-
mentum is lost, and the wheel comes
to a stop. If the wheel does not run
evenly-that is, if it seems to be
heavier on one side than another
the weight distribution can be
changed by some method such as
drilling holes.
To have fast-rolling wheel, some
sort of bearing Is absolutely neces-
sary. Either roller or ball bearings
would give good performance. Prob

WRIGHT ANDC CASE
AGAIN ALTERNATE
Split RightfieId Duty as
Simmons, GosIin Mend.
Hogsett Nips Yanks.
BY FRANCIS E. STAN.

Round Man Taft Wright and George
Washington Case, who bloomed in
March and faded in April, swung into
May today as important figures in the
Mats scheme of things.
Briskly moving into a new week at
home with a 4-to-3 victory over the
Yankees and first place still within
reaching distance, the Nationals found
their outfleld set-up more jumbled
than ever
Al Simmons, who had outdistanced
Wright in the battle for the third
regular fly-chasing post, still is on the
sidelines with a dislocated finger in a
cast. Goose Goslin, who was handed
Simmons job, joined his fellow vet
eran on the bench yesterday with a
strained side
Thus. as the Griffmen prepared to
move into their third battle with the
Yankees. it was a toss-up between
Wright and Case. Until Simmons or
Goslin or both recover Wright will
play right field against right-handed
pitching, Otherwise. Case will wind
up in the patrol by the big fence.
Rockies viii Do-Harris.
Goslin did an artistic job Of strik-
ing out in the fourth inning yester-
day against Lefty Gomez. AS he
swung Justify on the second strike he
pulled muscle in his side and was
forced to leave the game the follow
ing inning.
, Manager Bucky Harris seems un-
worried over the necessity of falling
back on the rockies who, within the
last two weeks. exhibited shortcomings
which caused Bucky to withdraw them
from action.
Wright simply tightened up at
bat" explained Harris. You couldn't
have broken his wrists with a sledge
hammer, he had tightened that much
Now he seems to be okay. He hit a
ball in batting practice yesterday that
Ruth couldn't duplicate. It was way
over the scoreboard in right field.
Case is better ball player than he
has showed. He didn't get much of
a break from the fans when he mis-
judged that ball in the Boston game.
That upset him. I'm not afraid to
use him in right field, either"
In the case Of Case it is interesting
to note how the young man is travel
ing. In spring training he was SIM
mons rival for the left-field berth.
When Mel Almada looked so bad at
bat he was shifted to center. the idea
being to alternate the pair. Now he
Is a right-f1elder for the moment.
