Destruction within 10 seconds of

new .37-millimeter anti-tank gun
after an attack with .50-caliber ma
chine guns had failed to make any
impression on similar moving
tank served late yesterday at Aber-
deem Proving Ground, Md, to intro
duce to the Nations defense and
industrial leaders Americas most
recent answer to the "blitzkreig."
Actual combat firing against mov-
ing tanks was but one of number
of spectacular demonstrations con-
Quoted by the Army to illustrate
advances which have been made in
recent years to equip the United
States for self-defense in world
of increasingly complex mechanized
warfare.
Smashing of two machine-gun
pillboxes by tank attack in an amaz-
ing display of fire accuracy from
these rocking, jolting land battle
ships and the scoring of a direct
hit by anti-aircraft guns on an
airplane tow target at range of
5000 yards, or nearly 3 miles, were
other outstanding features of an all
day display of the Army's latest
weapons and mechanical equipment.
The new Garand automatic rifle,
intended to become the standard
weapon of the American doughboy,
was given its first major demon
stration. One soldier armed with
the Garand, described as "the finest
rife the world ever has seen," can
equal the fire power of five soldiers
armed with the World War Spring
field rifle, it was announced
Basis of Streamlined Division.
Upon the new Garand the Army
is basing its new "streamlined" di-
vision, less than half the size of
the World War division but with
far greater mobility and fire power.

week by the War Department at

was brought into play, however,
there was an entirely different story
For the sake of a better display the
tank entered the firing range at
distance of $50 yards and was fired
upon by the new guns, with two
75-millimeter field guns and two
75-millimeter howitzers joining in
the attack.
Second Round Does Trick.
1t was the new highly mobile
"37," however, which turned the
trick. Firing flaming tracer shells,
the new gun drilled a streaking
comet of destruction on almost fiat
trajectory into the tank on its Sec
ond round within 10 seconds after
the tank entered firing range. The
tank burst into flames and stag
gered to halt within 100 feet, a
raging inferno. The larger guns
scarcely had time to get into action
before the tank had been finished.
Two pillboxes similar in size, pro-
file and placement to those in the
Maginot and Siegfried Lines had
been constructed to demonstrate the
combat power of the Army's latest
tanks. A lotion light tank and
20-ton medium tank made the at
tack over rolling, open terrain. The
light tank, carrying four men, is
armed with 50-caliber machine guns,
giving 1t the fire power of at least
so men with rifles. The larger
tank, manned by six men, carries
37-millimeter gun in addition to
machine guns.
Advancing with roaring engines,
both tanks opened fire. Although
the machine gun bullets bounced
of the pillboxes in screaming rico
chefs. the second round of fire by
the big gun of the large tank
cracked open the first pillbox on ito
second direct hit and ignited gaso-
line placed inside to show the effect
of the firing. The second pillbox

also burst into flames within an
other 10 seconds before the tanks
had covered more than half the
distance to their objectives. AL
though the rising and falling
streams of machine gun tracer bull
lets revealed the jolting and rocking
of the tanks, the turret crew man
ming the big gun recorded about 80
per cent direct hits on the targets.
Virtually every type of weapon
used by the modern army, from a
tiny light mortar, which sounded
like popgun and which lobs a s.

tance of mile. to giant 16-inch
coast defense rife with a range of
30 miles, was fired, and every type
of mechanical vehicle, from infan-
try carriers to scout and combat
cars and cross-country wrecking
trucks, was demonstrated in action
before more than 5000 American
defense and industrial leaders. The

Chandler Pays
Roosevelt Call
With BorkIey

A. B. Happy" Chandler, recently
sworn In as Senator from Kentucky
after resigning as Governor, called
at the White House today to pay his
respects to President Roosevelt, who
personally campaigned against him
last fall when Senator Chandler was
trying to unseat Senator Barkley,
Democratic leader of the Senate.
Kentucky's new Senator was ac-
companied by his former political
enemy, Senator Barkley, and, from
all outward appearances, they are
now good friends.
Senator Chandler was beaming as
he walked out of the Presidents
office. After telling newspapermen
he had had delightful chat with
the President, he said Mr.. Roosevelt
had told him his only objection to
him before was because "he didn't
want me to throw Alben out to get
here"
Senator Chandler said they didn't
discuss any business and that the
call was merely for the purpose of
shaking hands and paying respects.

Cut Construction 81. -
Costs Of U.S. Housing:
M.4.T. Expert Urges
Reduction in Building
Expenditure Would
Aid Nation, He Asserts
By the Associated Press.

-
BOSTON, Oct. 13.-Declaring that
the United States Housing Author
ity program would cost the Nation
So 500 900 900 annually for an in
definite period if carried out at
present costs for all families in the
lower income range, a Massachu-
setts Institute Of Technology hous-
ing expert said today the problem
could be met by reducing the cost
Of shelter construction.
John Ely Burchard, director Of
the Bemis Foundation at Tech, told
the American Society of Mechani-
cal Engineers that drastic reduction
in shelter costs IF combined with
the low interest rate of Government
bonds would tend to produce a sit
uation where only small percent
age OF families would need subsidy,
and most Of this subsidy could be
provided merely through tax exemp-
ton"
Mr.. Burchard said that whereas
the average rent paid for a $4,000
U. S. H. A. shelter unit is $3.50 per
year, the economic rent" or gen.
eral outlay for upkeep could be
computed at 1898 per year.
Thus" he said, "the median or
average subsidy is $218 per family
housed. This, bear in mind, is an
annual charge on the Nation so long
as the program is pursued because
our economic rent is figured on a
basis of self-perpetuation.
Nov, if AZ per cent of our fami-
lies are to be housed that way, that
will mean 16,800, 900 families. The
product of that number of families
by the annual subsidy is more than
$500 100000 per annum. Such
amounts would be raised by taxa
ton"
To reduce costs "and perhaps at
tain the difficult ideal of a $4,000
house for the average family" Mr..
Burchard said chief hopes rested in
the slow but steady progress of pre-
fabrication, the proposed prosecu.
tion OF building 'rackets' by AS
sistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold, the joint effort at stand
ardization of houses by the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects and re-

no lights showing. no place to sit

1t is hardly necessary. also, to de-

just a harbor Whereupon began
more of the abiding mystery that
makes wars the interesting thing
they are; another long wait in train

Recalled London Horrors.
The correspondents, by this time
smelling battle from afar off, were
remembering the so-called horrors
OF war in London, when the taxicabs
still run after fashion and quick
dives may be made out of the black
out into restaurants, movies, pubs
and other places where one might
commune with his kind. Ahead of
them, somewhere, they envisioned
some whitewashed village with
crowded billets, early curfew and
only such cheer as might be derived
from a four-chair estaminet. They
began to curse Hitler, whose machi-
nations had brought all this sorrow
into their lives.
The train ran on and on. It
went onto sidings. 1t left the main

they emerged into a vast, drafty

France, even in daylight. They were
herded into large bus the windows
OF which had been painted black,
and they logged along through
tWisty streets of a town glimpsed
only vaguely through scratches on
the camouf1age of the back door.
Fifteen minutes later this stage of
their furtive wandering ended. The
French driver stuck his head in

not seem so bad.

Score in Aberdeen Tests
Tank Destroyed in 10 Seconds by 81
Gun; Gorond Rifle Demonstrated

veloped after more than 80 years

ber fully self loading rifle permits
the trained rif1eman to fire go aimed
shot per minute. Its weight is only
9 pounds, about the same as the

less fatiguing effect on the soldier,

In view of the tremendous ef-
fectiveness of the mechanical army,
as demonstrated by Germany in its
lightning conquest of Poland, de-
velopment of the new 37-millimeter
anti-tank gun for use by the in
fantry is regarded as one Of the
most important recent developments
in American defense.
To demonstrate its new weapon
the Army yesterday used remote
controlled tanks of obsolete design
as targets. Towing control wires,
which they unreeled as they went,
these tanks numbered across an open
field. They first served as target

Mediation Pressed
To Settle Strike
Al Chrys|er Plants

Seek End
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT. Oct. 13-Mediation ef-
forts by both State and Federal
agencies we're pressed today in an
attempt to settle the dispute be-
tween Chrysler Corp. and the c. I.
o. United Automobile Workers.
which has brought idleness to more
than $4,000 workers.
With two conciliators of the
United States Department Of Labor
already on the scene, filing of
strike intention notice by the union
threw into motion the machinery of
the State Labor Mediation Board.
Members of that body, organized
only few months ago and credited
with the solution of several smaller
disputes, planned to confer with
union and company officials today.
The principal problem confront
ing the mediators appeared to be
bringing the two sides into agree
ment on the question of who shall
control production speed in the
Chrysler plants. The U. A. VIC. I.
o. has demanded that it be given
a voice in setting production sched-
ules. The corporation has vehem-
emily insisted that such matters are
a function of the management alone.
K. T. Keller. Chrysler president,
last night made public a letter to
distributors and dealers in which he
said:
1--WE are the object of an attack
commonly called the slow down.
The slow down is a blood relative
of the sit down.
Mr.. Keller said that after the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board poll
of Chrysler employees, which resulted
in victory for the U. A. VIC. I. o.
in most of the Chrysler plants,
"slow-downs" increased.
I'VE could not mistake the fact
that we were confronted with an
organized campaign on the part of
the C. I. o. union to curtail pro-
duction," he said.
The company shut down it's main
Dodge plant, he said, when the
Showdown" had cut production by
as much as so per cent and dis
organize the plant. Shut downs in
Chrysler plants and some units of
the Briggs Manufacturing Co. fol-
lowed because of their dependence
on the Dodge plant for certain sup
plies.
In letter to the corporation to-
day Richard T. Frankensteen, U. w.
A.-C. I. o. regional director, who has
charged the management with
"speedup" of operations, said:
THE Chrysler Corp. within recent
weeks has arbitrarily undertaken to
fix production standards without
consideration of the workers ca
pacity to perform respective opera
tions and without consultation of
the workers chosen representatives.
These arbitrary standards have
been fixed on new work concerning
which the corporation can have no
reliable data on which to base pro-
duction standards. =" y We are ask
ing time study to determine fair
days work
Union officials contended that an
attempted "speedup" by the corpo-
ration led to the dispute.
The U. A. VIC. I. O. continued
its preparations for a strike call at
the expiration of the f1ve-day wait
ing period required by State law,
and announced it would obtain au-
thorization for such call from
Chrysler local unions.
In the event of a strike an esti-
mated 10000 to $4,000 workers in
Chrysler and Briggs plants would be
affected in addition to the $4,000
now idle.

A WEDDING PROBLEM

Dear Mrs. Post. I'm having 40
people at my wedding at home. We
are taking 30 of these guests linu-
mate friends and relatives 10
hotel for dinner after the cere-
mony. But can we let the other
20 leave without giving them any
thing to eat And if you thlnK
we could. how can we get them
to leave afterward so the cars
can take the others to the restau-
rant
Answer: After the ceremony.
YOU should have a wedding cake
and something in which to drink
the bride and groom's health. That
is really all that's necessary. End
ing the reception should be very
easy. After the guests have all
wished you happiness and drunk
your healths and talked for little
while. you and your husband would
dress for your journey and leave
the house and everybody else
would then leave. Those whom
YOU have invited to dinner would
go to the hotel and join you there.
The others go their own way. Or,
if YOU would like to wear your
wedding dress at the dinner you
could perfectly well drive to the
hotel dressed as you are, and you
would merely engage a room at
the hotel in which to dress later
for your journey. Or perhaps you
might stay on at the hotel and let
your families go home and leave
YOU. instead of your driving away
and leaving them.
