BRITAIN MAY BUY
1,O1OPLANESHERE
High. h.Speed Bomber Order
Not to Interfere With
U. S. Building.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Great Britain intends to buy ap-
proximately 1000 war planes in the
United States, highly authoritative
source said today.
Most OF them will be high-speed
bombers with medium range, this
source said, expressing the belief
American factories will be capable Of
filling the order without interfering
with the war-plane building program
Of the United States Army and Navy
American experts say Britain does
not need the long-range type of
bomber used by the United States be-
cause Of geographical differences. but
can buy in this Nation plenty OF
planes capable Of meeting any needs
on the continent.
A six months lag must intervene
between delivery to the American
armed forces of the second plane of
certain type before other planes
OF the same type can be sold abroad.
Even after this date, the Army and
Navy must give their consent through
the National Munitions Control Board
Of the State Department.
The person disclosing Britain's in
tentions said he did not believe the
Army and Navy would object seriously
to the export OF large numbers of
American war planes, since export
serves to develop American airplane
factories and keeps them working on
steady and profitable basis.

Legislature would be necessary before
the money can be accepted.
A special meeting Of the Board ol
Education has been called for Tues
day to thresh out the problem.
School Supt. Nicholas Orem said
today that had the Board Of Educa-
ton received notification of the grant
five hours before it was informed of
the ALLEGATION the board possibly could
have arranged to match the Federal
money.
He explained that notice was re-
ceived at o'clock Monday afternoon.
The Prince Georges County commits
sloners had met at noon the same
day and signed the county budget
and levy for the new fiscal year be-
ginning July /.
When the building program was un-
dertaken, sans Government money,
several suggested projects were deleted
While others were curtailed. Under the
original plan, If the Federal funds could
have been obtained when needed,
schools of the county were to have
undergone a complete overhauling
which would have taken care of en-
rollment increases for several years,
according to Supt Nicholas Orem.
Mr.. Orem conferred for several
hours yesterday with Senator Millard
E. Tydlngs Of Maryland and P. w. A.
officials.
In previous statements, the county
superintendent has described the con-
diiion OF county schools as presenting
serious fire and health menace. He
called attention to the fact that several
schools were so overcroWded that pupils
had to attend classes in easements and
in some instances in the attics of the
schools. Some Of these schools have
been closed because of the insanitary
conditions. 1t was said. One OF these
was in EdmonStOn.

Senator La Toilette, Progressive, oil

The requested appropriation, he
said, would be divided to use $4,000
in completing present phases OF the
inquiry and 100000 for work not yet
undertaken.
Employer Groups Hit.
Accompanying the Senator's request
was an interim committee report Bit
terly criticiNng distractions placed
in its way by large employer associa-
tions. Notable in such tactics, the re-
port stated were stripped files, doc
tored books. piece-meal responses to
requests for information. and wit
nesses schooled in forgetting"
Such things" the report added
go quite beyond mere challenge to
vindicate governmental rights OF in
vestigation-the right Of the people
to ascertain facts Of public concern. "
The report charged that industrial
lists opposed to the exercise Of labor 8
rights have attempted to develop third
parties" which would act as instru-
ments or agents in fighting labor.
"One third party at hand" the re-
port said, was the detective and

whose patronage had created ma

dustrial espionage, driven further un-
derground, will persist, but 1t has
seemed q much less desirable instru-
mentality TO some employers since its
exposure by this committee. its con-
demnation by the Senate, and its de-
nunciation generally.
"Substitute Third Party"
"A substitute third party has ap-
peared In the shape Of certain en-
ployers associations

Ken wrote the advertisement and
dropped it on Bob's desk on his way
to lunch. Once outside the building
the incident passed from his mind
There were too many other matters
that needed attention. His business
was in deplorable state. Unless
something broke pretty quick, he was
going to fold up. -

bankrupt, penniless and out of job.
He had saved nothing. Martha, his
wife. was going to have baby. Things
looked black. There were living ex-
penses to meet and no money with
which to meet them. ..
Ken, however, was young, intelN-
gent and ambitious. He didn't intend
to see his family 60 hungry. The

Then suddenly his eye lighted on
an advertisement set of by itself in

between the lines, Ken guessed that
the concern wanted more than an
ordinary salesman, man a bit diff
ferent from the ordinary run.

put 1t into his pocket. The next
morning he left early and arrived at

MEASURED OVER

Mr.. and Mrs. Philip Cosgrove
and son, Richard, were out riding
Wednesday afternoon and while
on Boca Chica, the car passed
over and injured a rattlesnake,
which measured three feet three
inches and weighed two and a
half pounds.
Richard said he has never seen
an animal which was so tenacious
of life as was this Snake-a fine
specimen of the diamond black
variety They rolled the car sew
eral times over the reptile before
it gave any signs of collapse, and
was afterward finished by pound
ing its head until all signs of life
were extinct.
Richard was asked TO explain
how the passing of the car over
the snake could have inflicted
sufficient injury to cause the rep
tile to be placed hors de combat
when it gave every evidence of
being able to fight so vigorously.
Richards reply was very COM
prehensive to those who know the
family. he simply mentioned that
father was riding on the side OF
the car which passed over the
snake"
