TICKETS
 FAIL TO DO JOB

Pontiac, Mich., July 13-(UP)- Union plans for mass picketing at the Pontiac Fisher Body Plant in defiance Of state police and a new state labor law failed to materialize today, leaders said, because dele- gates from neighboring towns had been turned back.
 The CfO faction of the United Automobile Workers of America had planned to bring thousands of pick cts here from nearby towns to test the new law in its struggle with the General Motors Corporation over q supplemental contract for skilled die and tool makers and maintenance and engineering workers.
 Approximately 800 pickets were on hand at plant-opening time but Pos lice Chief Charles Rhodes and SO lccal officers kept an aisle cleared into the plant and prevented the gathering of strikers on the side- walk opposite the gates.

WAR PLANES WILL
 BURN UP QUICKLY
Next War Will See Sixty Per Cent G0 Down in
 Few Weeks Time

New York, July 13-(UP)-War- fare in Spain and outer Mongolia indicates that the next World War If it comes-will burn up more than 60 per cent of the fighting planes of the belligerents within a month.
 That, according to Maj. George Fielding Eliot. is the opinion of some of the worlds foremost military ex- perts as a result of studies of fight ing in the Spanish Civil war and in the conflict between Japanese and Russians on the frontiers of remote outer Mongolia.
 Airplanes, tanks and other mech- anized equipment of modern war fare as well as the highly trained men who operate these machines of destruction will be lost in tremen- dous numbers in the early phases of any future major conflict. said Eliot, noted critic of military affairs and author of Bombs Bursting in Air" Unless mechanical equipment is used with extreme care, the loss- es will far outweigh its effective ness, he said.
 Loss of Personnel Too
 "It is the consensus of army men in Europe" he added, "that airplane losses in the first 30 days will amount to 60 to 100 per cent, with a nearly equal loss of personnel.
 That is why European countries are so intent upon maintaining large replacements for airplanes and tanks. But the personnel losses will be more difficult to replace. It is a

1Ilerc was never change mad6 in any of our reports in any year and we were never requested to make changes by Mayor Hayes or the controller (Daniel J. Leary), or any one," said the witness in a clear firm voice.
 Borgnaes Assigned Here Kingsley, the second defendant to take the witness stand in the inter- est of acquittal, brought out today that Enoch E. Borgnaes, the miss- ing defendant accountant, was as- signed by him to the city in 1884 at the specific request of former Con- troller Leary, after conference with Mayor Hayes.
 He said that Leary had agreed to pay $35 day for the services of Borgnaes. He added that from 1884, when Borgnaes was assigned to Ieary personally, he exercised no authority over him, and gave him no instructions.
 Quiet and cool, excepting on occa- sions when drama entered into questions put to him by his counsel, Attorney Benjamin Slade of New Haven, the defendant spoke impress sively and clearly. No Knowledge of Wrong
 "Now, MT. Kingsley" said Mir. Slade, Did you at any time have any knowledge or notice brought to your attention of Irregularities of any kind, character or description related to the financial affairs of the city of Waterbury"
 "No, sir" boomed out the wit- ness.
 Taking the stand at l0:30 a. m, Kingsley testified until the 1 O. clock recess. and planned to offer more testimony starting at 2 p. m.
 With fire in his eyes, facing the court and jury, MT. Kingsley stated that he has mo apologies to offer" for any of the criticism in this case"
 He referred to the criticisms voiced concerning the fact that he often sat down with Mayor Frank Hayes and discussed the audit re- port. He said he saw Hayes April 2, 1884 to discuss the 1884 audit re- port.
 "When you engage an auditor you expect to sit down with him and discuss the audit report" he claim ed. "If you just sent report to a client, its value might be lost if you don't explain it."
 System Tn Every Office
 "That is the system in our office and every accounting office know" he continued.
 Kingsley said that he had the original manuscripts of the audit reports as prepared by the auditors, and that they compared with the printed reports in evidence. The manuscripts, which he said were in the "very handwriting" of the men who did the work on the report, were admitted to evidence late this morning.
 Never Worked On Books

MOST POWERFUL
 AIR ENGINE BUILT
Pratt and Whitney Corp. Developed It; Accepted
 By War Dept.

East Hartford, Conn.,, July 13. (UP)-The most powerful engine ever to pass the governments severe test was at the disposal today of the United States air combat forces.
 The engine, an 18-cyinder radial air-cooled, was accepted by the war department after being submitted to trials which the developers, the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Corp, de- clared, were the "most rigid today anywhere in the world"
 Its weight is the same as the orig inal 400-horsepower Wasp engine built by the company year ago, but "its most outstanding design feature" according to J. Carlton Ward, Jr., general manager of Pratt 65 Whitney, lis its remarkably small diameter and low frontal area, wkich contribute greatly to -in- creased performance"
 Weighing just less than a pound per horsepower, Ward said the en- zine lis not a development of earli- CT models, but an entirely new de- sign in which major parts, such as cylinders, master rods, crankcase and others have been redesigned and improved to meet the new re- quisements of high horsepower and performance. In addition, there are many new designs features contrib uting to improve efficiency of the engine, but which may not be de- vealed for military reasons"
 Credit for the development was given A. V. D. Willgoos, chief en- gineer, who was assisted by En- gineering. Manager. Leonard. s. Hobbs. It took two years to perfect.

TO AUDIT BOOKS
 TAX COLLECTOR
Board of Finance Report. ed to Have Found Short
 age of Small Amount

Anew audit of the books of the tax collectors office was to be called for this afternoon at meeting of the board of finance, as the result of a report to Mayor Frank Hayes of an alleged shortage in the accounts of the office. Corporation Counsel Charles 8. O'Connor said that the sum allegedly missing was "about $2,000 or $3,00W. The reported dis crepancies were discovered during an audit of the tax books for 1887 by Griffenhagen & Associates.
 The economy committee of the board of finance, which received the report from the auditors of the shortage, was to recommend to the entire board this afternoon an au- dit of the 1888 books of the tax eol- lector's office. A special meeting of the board of aldermen will probably be called to approve the transfer of funds necessary for the additional audit.
 Bonding Cos. Notified
 Bonding companies have been no- tified, and 1t is reported that several persons have already been ques- toned.
 Members of the economy commit tee declined to discuss the short- age, referring all inquiries to the corporation counsel. MT. O'Connor said he was notified of the charges only this morning, and had not had the opportunity to go into them fully.
 Audit Under Way
 The Griffenhagen audit of the 1887 tax books has been underway for some time, and reports of the alleged discrepancies in the figures are understood to have been re- ferred to the economy committee as they were discovered.
 MT. O'Connor would not say whether any criminal prosecution was planned, stating that any fur ther action will depend on a more thorough study of the situation and perhaps held up until completion of the new audit.
 The officials involved in the in- vestigation had no comment on re- ports that a clerk in the office had been allegedly implicated and had been questioned about the reported missing funds.

 Court for Decision

The State Liquor Control Com mission, through Attorney General Francis A. Pallotti, today filed no- tice of an appeal to the State Su- preme Court of errors from @ de- cision handed down Tuesday by Judge Kenneth Wynne in superior court, ordering the return of the liquor license of Joseph Gervais, operator of restaurant on West Main street, Waterbury. Judge Wynne held that the commission was unreasonable and arbitrary in its revocation of Gervais' license and he criticized the manned in which the commission reached its decision.
 The case is believed to be one Of the first in which the liquor com mission has appealed to the states highest tribunal from an adverse superior court decision.
 Followed Judge Peasley
 Judge Wynne, in his decision, followed @ recommendation by State Referee Frederick M. Peasley, before whom hearing was held last month on Gervais' appeal from the commissions action in revoking his license.
 Gervais' restaurant was visited by Inspector Walter Klein several months ago, and Gervais was or- dered to a hearing before the com-

National Guards Run Bloody Harlan County
Gov. (f1appy) Chandler Denounced Union Leaders; Day of Fighting Ends With One Miner Killed,
 Two Guardsmen Wounded

Harlan, Ky, July 13.-(UP)--Na- tional Guard endorsements moved into bloody" Harlan county with heavy war equipment today to aid in maintaining law and order in the coal fields.
 Gov. A. B. (Happy) Chandler de- nounced union leaders and ordered more troops to the scene after a day of fighting in which one striking miner was killed and two guards men, five miners and a woman are injured. The new troops were the members of two machine gun units and numbered about 200.
 They were accompanied by two tanks and reinforced 300 troops who have been patroling the coal fields since the breakdown month ago in negotiations between the mine operators and the United Mine Workers of America, affiliate of the Congress of Industrial Organiza- tions, for a closed shop agreement.
 Arrest 200 Miners
 The fighting was between union pickets and National .Guardsmen who were protecting non-union members at the Mahan- Ellison mine at Stanfill, nine miles southwest of Harlan. The guardsmen arrested about 200 miners and marched them to Harlan. The arrested men broke away and another battle occurred in the streets of Harlan.
 Chandler charged that an "in- cendiary" speech on Sunday by William Turnblazer, president Of District 19 of the UMWA, had been responsible for the outbreak. He said Turnblazer had urged strik- CTS to resume picketing and to shut off production at non-union mines. He also condemned the activities of George Titler, secretary-treasurer
