By ARTHUR F. DeGREVE
United Press Staff Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Apr. 80. (UP)
President Roosevelt yesterday urg-
ed congress to put sharp teeth in
the antitrust laws and to initiate
a federal inquiry designed to
break the grip of big business mo-
nopolieS on the nations economic
life.
The chief executive decided at
the last moment to send the mes
sage to congress yesterday despite
the fact that the house was in re-
cess until Monday and that 1t
could be read only in the senate.
1t is reported to embrace the
views of Senator William +. Be-
rah (R., Ida.) on the whole theme
of monopolies and those of SEN
ator Carter Glass 3D., Va) New
Deal foe, on the need of control
ling bank holding companies.
The president asked congress
for action at this session only on
legislation calling for federal con-
troll of bank holding companies;
suggested there is no need for de-
lay in voting stricter regulations
on investments trusts, and pro-
iected the following recommended
tions to cope with the situation:
l. Revision of antitrust laws to
make proof by the government OF

ENROLMENT
HOEDSUp WELL
Heavy Loss of Pupils Being
Reduced; Latest Honor
Roll Made Public

A reduction of 81 per cent in
the loss of high school enrolment
through diScontinuance of work
by students for this year as COM
pared to last year is pointed to by
Principal L. X. Singley, coinci-
dent with his release of the Schol-
arShip and cooperation honor rolls
for the latest grading period,
which was made public yesterday
afternoon.
Commenting on this interesting
development in the life of the city
schools, Mr.. Singley said:
I'VE have carefully compared
our attendance record for this pc
Rod with the attendance record
of last year for the same period.
We have found that at the end
of the seventh month last year
we had lost sixty-two students.
Most of these students drop
ped out because of lack of inter-
est. This year for this correspond
ing period we have lost only TWEEN
ty-seven. Naturally, we have been
endeavOring to find an eXplana-
ton for this Improvement. The
only conclusion that we can come
to is that we are offering a more
enriched curriculum, primarily i'll
the form of vocational education.
From the above statistics we
therefore have reduced our per-
centage of losses approximately
fifty-seven per cent.

for this marked improvement and
hope that it will be eveiI better

Fourth Execution
Effort For Texas
Killer Succeeds

HUNTSVILLE, Tex, Apr. 80
(UP)-John W. Vaughan, con-
WINGED that God would save him
from the electric chair, talked des-
perately against time for nine
minutes in the execution chamber
early today, then, when it was evil
dent even to him that neither di-
vine nor earthly powers would in
tcrvene, burst into tears and per-
mitted himself to be executed.
1t was the fourth time that
Texas had undertaken to execute
Vaughn and this time the states
agents were eminently successful.
While Vaughn's sobs still sounded
from behind the black death mask,
the current hit him and he was
dead.
Vaughn, 80, killer of San An
tonic policeman, small, inclined
to jauntiness, entered the chamber
carrying three roses, a Bible, and
a lighted cigar.

BRITAIN PLANS FOR
$4,000 PLANES
Copyright, 1888, by u. p.

4oSSt ~ ~
LONDON, April 80. (UP).-
Great Britain, firmly united with
France in a new "London-Paris
axis" inaugurated gigantic air
force expansion program today
and prepared for diplomatic and
economic action in Central Eu-
rope to back up the strongest de-
fensive alliance since the World
war.
It was understood the govern
ment aimed at first-line strength
of about 5000 fighting planes for
the home defense forces alone, in
addition to planes of overseas
units and the navy.
Since every first line plane is
backed by perhaps five reserve
planes, a total home defense force
home defense includes defend
ing Britain by attacking an en-
envy from the air-of $4,000
planes is indicated.
In addition, planes assigned to
overseas units and the navy, are
to be increased considerably.
Until today, Britain had been
aiming at first line strength of
1880 planes by March, 1889.
Aviation experts estimate that
it will take Britain until 1910 to
match Germany's present strength
and that Germany can double her
present production on short no
tice. That is one reason for the
gigantic program.
To insure an urgent pace in
production, Britain will not only
study possibility of buying fight
ing planes in the United States
but will at once double production
of British factories. When neces-
sary factories will be extended to
keep pace with the governments
new program.
An indication of the minimum
reserve strength planned, four in
stead of one of every new type of
plane will be ordered by the air
ministry which had planned to re-
cruit $4,000 men, 1000 boys and
1900 pilots this year.
This program, it was said, is to
be enormously" increased.
