NEW FAST AIR
 LINE SERVICE
 IS ANNOUNCED
Connections Between Cities In States and Alaska
 Speeded Up

The proximity of the Alaskan wonderland 10 cities throughout the United States under fast plane s eamer schedules, is stressed in new folders heiug given wide distribu- ten by United Air Lines, whose planes connect directly at Seattle and Vancouver with ships plying to and from this territory.
 Unitcds pamphlets. just received here, point out that even though you live on the Atlantic Coast, the Great Lakes area, Midwest or Cali fornia, you can now enjoy full length Alaska cruise within the lim- it's CT an ordinary two weeks vaca- ton In cooperation with the AL aska Steamship Company, Cana dian National Steamship Company and Canadian Pacific Steamship Company. United offers an-ex- pense tours from May to Septem- Der 30, including nine-day. eleven day and twelve-day journeys plus special tours and inland side trips via the White Pass and Yukon Route.
 United officials report that plane steamer schedules are enabling many persons who never before have haS the time, to pay their first visits to Alaska. A considerable amount of such business was re- corded last year with substantial in- creases expected during the coming season due, in part, to lower air fares than ever before and improved air schedules between Seattle, Van- couver and cities over the United States.
 Present schedules of United Air Lines make it possible for passen- gers to leave New York after the close of business and Chicago that night, to sleep their way across the continent and to reach Seattle next morning, ready to embark for AL aska. Similarly fast day and sleeper services are offered them on their return east. In the case of Califor- nians they can leave points as far south as Los Angeles and wing their way to Seattle overnight.

HON0RS GIVEN
 HOOVER ABROAD
Streets Are Named After Former President, Also
 Two Planetoids

NEW YORK, March 30.-Lawr- ence Richey, secretary of former President Herbert Hoover, said the boss got 16 medals and four hon. orary degrees on his recent Euro pean tour and streets were named for him in Brussels, Lille, Valen- ciennes and Praha."
 Richey also said two new plane toids discovered respectively by the Brussels Observatory and Vienna Observatory have been named Her berta and Hoovera.

and installed half dozen boys shining shoes for him there As he grew older he. emerged more and more into the big money, so that now he never averages less than $8,O0O or 5000 year. This is net, of course.
 Joseph thinks a good boy can earn $25 week, counting tips. which isn't bad for a youth with a can of black paste.
 In the big office buildings there may be 50 or 100 boys making the daily rounds. The thousands of of ficeS each have desks. Behind those desks are men, with shoes to be cleaned Sometimes they pay nick el, sometimes a dime or a quarter. It all adds up. It adds, in fact, to nearly s21 100000 year.
 But, agrees Joseph, the day of the fabulous fortunes are no more. That is, the fortunes of Wall Street proportions that were made before the war Competition is shrewder and more intelligent, and shoe polish costs more But he still thinks it is pretty good business. It took him off the street, gave him fine income, and made him a friend of fruit growers, bankers, opera singers
 And so perhaps young Gino Di- Vicci is on the right track in his quest for success and economic se- curity. On behalf of the Horatio Alger heroes who triumphed over diversity through sheer pluck, ann bition, and ck-to-it-tiveness, I salute him.

RADIO HELPS GET
BR|BE CONVICTION
Jury Out Half Hour in Tore
Case, First Here to Use
Broadcast Evidence.

A District Court jury took less than
half an hour late yesterday to con-
vice Charles Tore, 46, Of the HOO
block of Thirteenth street NV, who
was charged with attempting to bribe
a policeman for gambling protection"
after his conversation had been re-
corded by radio hidden in the off,
GERS car.
It was the first time in this juris-
diction that radio was employed IN
this manner
The complaining witness was Po-
liceman Carl L. Sierk, second pre-
cinct, who said Tore offered him
money.
Justice Jesse c. Adkins refused bond
to the defendant despite the plea Of
counsel that his wife, at home with a
young baby, is in i'll health.
The case was prosecuted by As
sistant United States Attorney Allen
j. Krouse.
According to testimony, Torres con-
versation with the policeman was
picked up in another police car parked
a short distance away and recoroeo
by stenographer.
Mr.. Krouse scorned Torres story
that he was "entrapped into giving a
bribe." He said the money passed on
last November 10 and the defendant
had every intention Of paying the
protection" of some $50 a month.
The prosecutor alluded to the point
that Tore, by his admission, had
served time in the penitentiary.
Charles E. Ford, defense counsel, in
an attack on the Governments star
witness, characterized the case as
the shakedown of Sierk against the
man with a record" and declared that
because you were dirty six years ago
doesn't mean you are dirty today"
United States Attorney David A.
Pine, talking to newspapermen, paid
tribute to the job done in installing
the hidden microphone in Sierk's car
and the receiving set in the police
machine by 1t. Floyd A. Truscott and
Sergt. Earl P. Hartman. with the aid
of Bureau of Internal Revenue tech
nicians.

Blackfriars Offer
Three One.ActerS.

THE Blackfriars Guild will conclude
its season of activity tonight In
st. Paurs hall with the third pre-
sentation of q program Of three one
act plays. One of them is called
THE Spring Cow and the Moon"
1t is an Irish playlet written by John
Wilson, a member Of the guild. and
the Abbey Theater Players left town
last week carrying an option on it.
After seeing it performed one could
not feel perpleXed at the interest Of
the Abbey people.
The Spring Cow and the Moon" Is
simple little story of rural Ireland
(pardon, Eire), of farm mothers 5
effort to marry her widOWer son to a
woman with a sizable dowry. of a
true love which Is drawn out into the
open and pleases all concerned. 1t
is an unpretentious vignette-just the
thing the Abbey Players do best and
a thing the Blackfriars did very well
last night. James Kelly directed and
deserves particular credit for the cast
ing of Jack Hurley as the son. Mr..
Hurley was thoroughly at ease in his
role, played it with spirit, offered
effective facial pantomime. Gertrude
Heagney performed excellently as the
ever-scheming mother; Joseph OCon-
nor was effective as the easy-going
father. Elinor Sgueo was occasionally
dull in her reading of the lines Of the
poor girl who gets her man.
Although UNDERSTANDABLE overshad-
owed by the last, the other two pro-
ductions were possessed Of merit.
Kenneth S. Goodman's Dust Of the
Road" spiritual piece. featured the
reliable Denis Connell's portrayal of
the tramp. who is no ordinary wan
derer. but Judas Iscariot. Stephen

Graham Carey, Mimi Norton proved
best as the young object Of Jack
Sherry's affection. Stephen Trodden

surgeon; Edgar Kloten's work was a
bit overdrawn in limning the viii
famous, crafty broker who speculates
on the body of Mr.. Sherry, destined
to turn to gold when he dies.

TRADEBOARDYEAR
WELL UNDER WAY
MidWinter Dinner Theme
May Be 50th Anniversary
Next Year.

Under the leadership Of President
Francis G. Addison. jr., the Washing
ton Board of Trade has started another
year of civic activity with an eye
toward the celebration of its 50th
birthday anniversary in 1899.
Although the initial meeting Of the
entire board membership is not sched-
uled until October IL, at the Willard
Hotel, several committees already have
started functioning and others are
expected to follow suit within the
next two weeks. Groups which have
met include the Membership, Streets
and Avenues, Bridges, Public Order
Committees and the Executive Com
mittee of the Traffic Unit.
No immediate plans are being made
for the 50th anniversary celebration,
which is due in November next year,
but board officials are keeping the
date in mind as they plan for the
years activities. The board has re-
ceived a suggestion that the theme of
the annual midwinter dinner be CEN
tered around the anniversary.
During the summer recess, a number
OF changes took place in the adminis-
trative personnel of the trade body and
Its Washington promotion unit, the
Greater National Capital Committee.
Claude H. Woodward, former presi-
dent OF the Kiwanis Club and a promi-
nent figure in banking circles is serv-
ing temporarily as assistant to Presi-
dent Addison. This appointment was
made following the resignation of
Robert j. Cottrell as executive Sec
retary of the board.
The Greater National Capital Com
mittees operations have been divided
into two sections-promotion and con-
ventions-with Curtis Hodges formerly
executive director, taking the post OF
director in charge Of promotion.
Russell Schneider, formerly with
the Chicago Convention Bureau, has
been placed in charge of the conven-
ton division of the local committee.
He is being assisted by Harris Arrata,
who came with him from Chicago.
Another change took place Septem-
ber is, when Miss Sue Partridge, who
had been with the committee for the
last six years, resigned to become
secretary to James A. Councillor, head
of the accountant firm bearing his
name.
Mr.. Hodges recently returned from
an extensive trip throughout the
country, during which he contacted
numerous radio stations and news
papers. He said he found a great
willingness to cooperate with the
Greater National Capital Committee
in publicizing future activities in the
District. More than $4,000 pamphlets
containing list of local events sched-
uled for october have been distributed
throughout the States, Mr.. Hodges
said.
