| It calls for fixed machine guns,
aimed by aiming the ai!plane itself,
rather than flexible guns fired by a
special gunner. 1t is a policy which
calls for dash and daring rather
than heavy slugging, shoulder-to-
shoulder, so to speak.
For its 400 pursuit airplanes the
Air Corps is considering chiefly such
types as the P-36A and XP-4O types
developed by the Curtis Co. The
P-4O is a development of the P-36A,
being powered with liquid cooled
Allison engine instead of the air
cooled engine with its much larger
frontal area. The 40" with its
cleaner design, is capable of devel-
oping an approximate speed of $50
miles per hour according to the most
authentic available information
Exact performance figures on all Of
the new airplanes are military Sc
crets. Both these airplanes are in
ternally -braced monoplanes, of all
metal construction except for
fabric covered control surfaces. The
landing gear retracts into the wing.
Two machine guns are carried oXy-
gen equipment is standard to per-
NIT continued operation at eX-
tremely high attitudes, and built-in
blower superchargers are used.
Other Type Under Test.
The second largest group of COM
bat airplanes to be acquired, ac-
cording to plans submitted to Con-
gress, is the new attack bomber type.
Three experimental models of this
type have been submitted to the
Air Corps in design competition
and now are under test at Wright
Field, Ohio. 1t is intended for use
In attacking such ground objectives
as supply depots, railroads, mech
anized forces and marching troops
and will combine the functions Of
both attack and light bombardment
airplanes. Present plans call for
purchase of 1875 airplanes of this
type as a part of the initial $50
600 900 program.
The three design competition
models are all two-engine, all-metal
monoplanes varying in weight from
812 to tons, designed for high
speeds both at ground level and at
altitude The competition models
were submitted by the Stearman.
North American and Glenn L. Mar
tin companies.
Other airplanes to be acquired in
the initial program include 13 Boe-
ing Bit flying fortress" bombers,
13 XFM-1 fighters and IA Beech
craft Photographic airplanes. The
new Boeing contract will equip
| fourth squadron of the giant four
engine bombers. which have made
an enviable record during the past
two years.
The fighter order also will equip
single squadron and will permit
full service testing of this unique
type. which is intended to stand off
at long range and fight it out
with the heavily armed, modern
bombers. 1t will be used. according
to present plans, as an exceedingly
hard-hitting "interceptor, primarily
to fight off bombing raids, depend
ing upon extremely high speed to
head off the enemy before he can
reach his objective. This unique
pusher monoplane. with new tri-
cycle landing gear, is said to be
capable of maximum speeds up to
400 miles per hour.

Cynthia Warner Pupils

During Lunch PERIOD

! Children at the Cynthia Warner
Nursery School, l405 Emerson street
NV. are receiving an early start
in the study of the musical classics
by means of the recordings being
made available in The Stars music
appreciation campaign.
Mrs. Harold E. Warner, director
of the school, has obtained the four
groups of symphonic records re-
leased so far and is playing them
for her pupils during the lunch
hour period each day.
None of the children Is more
than 5 years old, and, of course,
they do not know the symphonies
by name, but they like the music, u
Mrs Warner said today. They
show their preference by asking
the teacher to play the green rec
ords or the yellow ones, or some
other color"
The recordings being used by the
school are of the de luxe type, which
features different colored seal for
each symphonic group.
Il feel that an appreciation OF
the finest music should be devel-
oped in the child early in life Mrs.
Warner said. This can be done If
the child has the opportunity to
hear the musical classics over and
over again"
Meanwhile Mrs. Elizabeth Draper.

date"
John L. Lewis, president of the

necessity of the mine workers CIV
ing their attention to the soft coal

to the forthcoming congressional

The Senate Education and Labor
Committee has announced that pub
lie hearings would begin April II on

Strongly in favor of modifying the
act. the A. F.. of L. advocated the

oppose changing the act, expressed

Vile Lauds Roosevelt
Course in Forum Talk

Frederic William Vile, noted
writer on foreign and national af-
fairs, last night paid high tribute to
the course which the Roosevelt ad-
ministration has been following in
international affairs. In an address
read in the last of the Open Forum
series at Grace Church, Woodside,
Md. Mr.. Vile declared the action
of the United States in ordering a
25 per cent countervailing duty
against German goods had struck a
body blow at the Hitler government
because of vital need of Germany
for foreign markets.
He pointed out that while the new
duties were not caused by the
Czecho-Slovakian situation. coming
as they did at the time Germany
took over control of most of that
Warborn republic, they served to
stiffen the attitude of the European
democracies and had in all probabil-
ity a profound effect in solidifying
paigr Of advancement.
Before launching into his discus
sion of the foreign situation, Mr..
Vile made strong plea for support
by Maryland residents for the move
ment to bring vote to the residents
of Washington and voice in their
own government
Because of illness. Mr. Vile was
unable to be present, and his ad-
dress was delivered by Howard P.
Bailey, who has acted as chairman
of the forum series. AT the conclu-
sion of Mr.. Wile's address Mr.. Bailey
added a brief discussion of the sit
uation which developed suddenly
yesterday over Albania. He pointed
to two possibilities. one that Italy
was making an effective gesture
which might prevent the develop
ment of the stop-Hitler alignment
in the Balkan area and the other
that MussoNli was taking a step
which could successfully raise bar
rier to any effort by Germany to
obtain a foothold on the shores of
the Adriatic.

Michigan Shows G. o. p. Gains.
Elections in Michigan yesterday,

gains since the elections in that
State last fall Ballots were cast for
two State Supreme Court judges.
members of the Board of Regents
of the State University. members of
the Agricultural Commission, for
county and township officers. The
elections were fought out along party
lines-and the Republicans lead by
substantially more than 100000
votes. in a total vote that was far
less than that cast in November
This means that the Republican
lead was greater than in November,
although the vote cast was smaller.
In Wayne County. which includes
Detroit, the Republicans elected
their candidate for county auditor,
the only Wayne County officer elect
ed. In the Statewide contests.
Wayne County only chalked up from
5000 to 10000 leads for the State
wide Democratic candidates. Detroit
is the Democratic stronghold of the
State.
These spring elections in Michigan
have always been regarded as indi-
eating political trends. although not
of great importance in themselves.
After the Democratic victories in
1882 and 1886 the Democrats won
the spring elections.
