Eremeeff said the vertical
ascending craft "is ideal for obser-
walton purposes, for it is not nearly
SO easy to see from a distance as
an observation balloon"

The inventor, who supervised the
construction of the first successful
,helicopter for the United States
army eighteen years ago, believes
that the big problem in helicopter
design lies in control. He said as
long as the craft remains level, it
is under perfect control, but steep

Eremeeff said he is planning to

mony was admissible rs Government
evidence in the criminal trial Of A
Harlan countians charged with con-
spring to keep coal miners from join
ing q union.
Judge F,ord's ruling, announced at
the opening OF the trials fourth week,
reversed an opinion Of 10 days ago.
1t was an important victory for the
Government, which argued last week
for the admission of testimony given
at hearings by persons who are now
defendants in the conspiracy trial.
Government attorneys said it was
the first time enactment Of the Wagner

Unthank's Testimony Read.
After the ruling. the Government
read into the Harlan labor trial record
testimony by Ben Unthank before the
N. L. r. B. that he was employed by
the Harlan County Coal Operators
Association to interfere with organi-
zation Of miners by the United Mine
Workers of America"
Unthank was described by the Gov
ernment as chief field agent" for the
association. A ruddy, complacent-
looking individual, Unthank was de-
scriped in blunter terms at the WASH
ington hearing last year as the asso-
cations head road killer
The testimony was read from the
witness chair by Special Assistant
United States Attorney General Wall
ter Gallagher while Cleon Calvert OF
defense counsel peered over his
shoulder.
In one question Unthank was asked
whether he was paid by the associa-
ton for anything else" than to "in-
terfere" with union organization.
Il suppose that's ALL" he replied.

He said he employed several men to
get information for me-" some of
which he subsequently reported to
George Ward. secretary OF the asso-
citation, at night meetings in the lat
ter's ONCE.
Asked whether the men, whom he
said he could identify only by num-
ber." were used as labor spies. Unthank
replied he guessed they would take
jobs in the mines"
Judge Ford upheld defense motion
to exclude Unthank's testimony as 10
all defendants except himself. When
Wards N. L. r. B. testimony was read
next he ruled it applied only to Ward.
Ward was asked during the hearing
whether sums given Unthank for jan
uary and February. 1887, listed as ST..
252 and $1,000, respectively, had been
spent to keep an eye on these Or
ganizers"
He replied: ..
Most Of it. yes"
Judge Ford upheld the Government
contention the witnesses did not testify
under compulsion before the N. L.
II. b. That Interpretation Of the wag-
ner Act was the basis OF his previous
ruling.
The defense contended introduction
OF the testimony would violate the i'm
munity against compulsory self

amendment to the Constitution.
The immunity guaranteed under
the fifth amendment is only against
