 TO PROBE MEMBER

London. Oct, 17-CUP)-Prime Minister Winston Churchill caused q domestic political sensation to- day when he asked the House of Commons to appoint a committee to investigate the conduct of one of its own members. Robert J. G. Bocthby, Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Foods.
 The House approved resolution to investigate Boothby in connection with payment of claims against Czech assets blocked in the United Kingdom after German seizure of Prague last year.
 Churchill said he did not desire to ask, for Boothby's resignation at tliiS time since that course might prejudice him nj the eyes of the public" but he said that Boothby himself asked that he be suspended from his duties for the time being"

NEW FORMULAS
 FOR EATING OUT

Boston, Oct. 17.-GUP)-Two for mulas, either of which reputedly would feed person, properly at a yearly cost of $1.80, soon may be of- fered to the United States govern ment, it was learned today.
 Dr. Robert S. Harris of MaSSa- chuSetts Institute of Technology an- rounced the formulas yesterday in a paper presented at the 77tl annual meeting of the New England Dental society. He said the preparations, developed by himself and other tech- nology biochemistS, virtually were complete foods in themselves.
 Dr. Harris denied a published re- port that the formulas had been presented to- the federal government or to the British government.
 The formulas: %
 No. IA 20-gram preparation oi skim milk powder, whole wheat meal, solvent soybean meal and a concentrate of all necessary vita mins except vitanlin c. K.
 No. 2.-A 20-gran1 formulai of oats corn, wheat, skim milk and a. con- centrate of all necessary except vitamin O. <,
 Dr. Harris said the preparations resembled corn flakes and were eat en like cereals. Two ounces of to1n- ato juice daily, he said would sup ply the vitaniin 0 deficiency. Asserting that the mixtures were i.more or less a medicine" ;" he doubt. ed that they ever would areplact normal human, diet. NY F pr.

STRENGTHENING OF AIR LINES SOUGHT
United States to Meet Ger man Competition in
 Latin America

Washington, Oct. IT. (UP)-Ofi- cials today planned means of strengthening United States air lines in Latin America to combat German competitors.
 The move followed the announce ment in Rio De Janeiro of the amalgamation of the German-own- ed and operated Condor Line and the Snapp Line in a new passenger and cargo service from the east coast of Brazil through the Amazon Valley to Colombia and Venezuela.
 American authorities are concern ed over the German owned and operated air lines within striking distance of the Panama Canal. Three other foreign owned air lines had operated in the general vicinity of the Canal. Two of these were the former Scadta line in Colombia, and the Sedta in Ecuador, both German. The other was the Taca Line, own ed by New Zealand interests and operated by American pilots with American equipment.
 OfIicialS here believe that the new Condor -Snapp service will be oper- ated by German pilots who flew the Scadta planes in Colombia and who lost their jobs when the Colombian government Amaigamated all the air lines in Colombia into the 1,a- tionalized Avianca Lines.
 Although something like 80 pei cent of the Scadta Company stock is owned by the United tSates gov- ernment subsidized Pan- American Airways, German pilots flew the Scadta planes until the merger Some 87 German employees, includ- ing 20 or more pilots, who lost theii jobs, still are in Colombia, Vene. zlela or Brazil.
 Oficials here believe that German interests are promoting the new Condor Snapp Service through thu Amazon areas. Heavy pressure may be brought upon Brazilian fedora authorities to- refuse a franchise.

COURT SLICES
 BUTLER'S FINE
Grandview Avenue Driver Has Half of $lOO and
 Costs Penalty Reunited

William Butler, 27, of 149 Grand view avenue, pleaded guilty to drunken driving and was fined $10O and costs, $50 being remitted, by Juige John L. Gaffney in city court today. Butler was arrested last night after his car hit stone wall on West Main street.
 In passing sentence Judge Gaff- ney declared that the crash must have taught Butler a lesson. When an irresistible force meets an inn movable object, Butler now knows what happens" the judge observed.
 Defense Attorney Hugh McGill said that Butler had a cold and drank four highballs yesterday. The combination of cold and liquor ap- parently got the better of him be- fore he knew 1t, the attorney de- clared, in asking for leniency.
 The car was badly damaged in the crash and Butler suffered a slight chest injury which was treaed at St. :Mary,s hospital. The arrest was made by Motor Patrolmen Joseph Iovallo and Frank Lealy.

NAZI PILOT GETS GOOD ATTENTION

< London, Oct. 17.L(UP)-The mag ,azine Aeroplane told the following story today:
 "A Nazi pilot was brought in after having bailed out in a dogfight. Evidentially he was one of Her. mans tough eggs. Although corlsid- erably shot about he bore himself arrogantly andt showed little give and take spirit. He spoke good Eng lish and all the while he was being stitched and dressed he kept up a running fire of abuse against Eng land. the nurses, the doctors and anything else which met his eyes.
 " ITO round off the job they gave him. a blood transmission, settled him in a nice, clean bed and left him the. words: X, - 4sr
 NOW my lad ,yotlshave two pints of good Jewish blood in you. We hope it will improve your manners"

 The extreme modernity of Prince Ahnad is cited here as eH- dence that civilization is creep ing up on what was once one of the most tiger -and-wild elephant infested siungles in the world
 Ahrnad himself was of course educated in Europe, but he doesn't cut much of a figure in the gov- ernment, where his elder brother, the Crown Prince Ismail, rules during their fathers absence in England. Still, Ahmad has hon. orary positions on traffic control boards and the supervision of a brand-new 1000 bed hospital, the most modern in the east, now being completed at a cost of $1 ,OO0,O 900. @ f5

The message was. graphically, Don't give in to the old Sphynx." ;@ f
 Ahmad debated with himself for 2 long time about that rnes- sage. It might be a. connmunica- ton to a Spy, or it might be just an innocent message to a son hay- ing trouble with his father. ,Ahmad finally decided to take "a chance He would sfnail the message. let 1t. pass through the British censorship { at .Singapore.

Dean Fox Criticizes
New Education Practices

A blast against some practices of
education called progressive" was
delivered to the National Education
Association Convention at Milwau-
kee yesterday by Dean James
Harold Fox of the George Washing
ton University School of Education.
Dean Fox, who recently was
named chairman of a five-man COM
mission studying the Arlington
County, Va. educational system, hit
out at an uncritical and Frequently
naive" acceptance, of new methods
by teachers unprepared to deal with
them effectively.
He also blamed some of the diff
fculty in American education on a
confusion of educational terms
which started out to mean specific
things and now have become all in
elusive. He mentioned such terms
as project and guidance"
Overemphasis of some of the new
er instructional methods, he de-
clared, has resulted in serious ne
glect" of older fundamental learning
experiences. This. he said, was evil
denced by increasing reports of low
reading ability among junior high
school students and bad spelling.
Some college freshmen" he said,
"are unable to do long division"
