Five Former Leaders
Go 10 Trial Tomorrow
For Fall Of France
DoIodier, Blum, GomeIin
Among Those Fueing
Tribunal at Riom
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
VICHY, Unoccupied France, Feb.
18.-Five leaders OF the defunct
French Third Republic, including
two former premiers and q former
Allied generalissimo, go on trial to-
morrow before special tribunal set
up by the Petain regime to deter
mine their responsibility for the fall
Of France.
Vichy hourly grew more excited
at the approach of the trial at Riom,
20 miles from here, which one news
paper said may be one Of the most
important In our history"
In q broadcast to France on Oc-
tober 16, Chief of State Petain
placed the blame for Frances defeat
on six men, five of whom have spent
more than a year in prison.
Six Accused by Council.
Accusations submitted to the
chief OF state at that time by q
specially chosen council Of political
justice named these men:
Former Premier Edouard Da-
Ladder, who until France was
beaten was hailed by his country
as its strong man;
Former Premier Leon Blum,
Socialist, who rose to power with
a Popular Front Of Leftist par
ties;
Former Generalissimo Maurice
Gustave Gamelin;
Pierre Jacomet, former admin
istrator of national defense in
dustries, and considered one of
the most advanced technicians in
France;
Guy La Chambre, one of
Frances wealthiest men, who
became Air Minister;
Pierre Cot, also a former Air
Minister.
M. Cot fied to the United States
before the accusations were made
and was not mentioned by Marshal
Petain in his broadcast.
"Presumptions" Against Others.
M. Daladler, Gen. Gamelln, M.
Blum and M. La Chambre are in
Bourassol Chateau, near Riom, after
two months at Portalet Fortress
near Pau. M. Jacomet also was
confined In Bourassol Chateau.
Still held in Portalet are Paul
Reynaud, the last Premier of the
republic. and Georges Mandel, his
Minister of Interior. Marshal Pc
tain in his broadcast said there
were grave presumptions" against
NJ Reynaud and NJ Mandel, but
said nothing of trial for them.

be tried would be taken today to

Government Action Urged

Consumer Goods

A Senate Banking and Currency
Subcommittee was told today that
the country's war program, by re-
ducing consumer goods, threatened
the life of the advertising industry
and thus jeopardized the future Of
the American newspaper.
C. H. Kaletzki. Syracuse, N. Y,
advertising counsel, testifying on a
proposed bill to establish a small
business division under the War
Production Board, said the Govern
ment should Immediately take steps
to continue the flow of consumer
goods.
He suggested the use of substi-
tutes, such as plastics, to replace
materials found essential to the war
effort.
The life of the newspapers is
threatened by the very acts of
Government in the development Of
the war program up to the present
time" Mr. KaletZki said.

they will have nothing to advertise.
When advertising is withdrawn,
the foundation of a free press is
threatened.

reck The witness could not re-
member for how long a period Mr..
bennett was to serve the publishing
house for that sum.
The witness was vague as to dates
and concerning the exact words of
Mr.. bennett, and the prosecutor
sought to refresh Mr.. Hauck's recol-
lection by suggesting certain
phrases. Defense Attorney Emil
Morosini objected to the form of
these questions, contending that
Government counsel was leading the
witness, but Justice F. Dickinson
Let's allowed most of the questions.
Vierick May Have Been Skeptical.
Some of the books which Flanders
Hall was publishing at that time,
it was brought out, were "Inhuman-
ity Unlimited" a story of British
rule in India; Democracy on the
Nile" and The Slave Business"
Mr.. Hauck testified that one cata-
logue, containing a blurb about
Democracy on the Mile" was re-
vised, with two paragraphs deleted
at the suggestion of Viereck. Asked
why Viereck wanted this done, the
witness said that the propagandist
limited that perhaps he didn't be-
lieve some of the stuff himself" :"
and he felt it was not quite accu-
rate.
Mr.. Hauck identified prospectus
he issued, in collaboration with
Viereck, advertising a number Of the
paper-backed books which were
being issued and declaring that all
Americans should read these works,
which should convince them that
the United States ought to stay out
of all foreign wars ito make the
world safe for British democracy"

X-Ray Put to War Use.
The million-volt X-ray apparatus
is a newer contribution to winning
the war. 1t was developed largely
by DR.. w. D. Coolidge, director of
the General Electric research lab
oratory, as a contribution to medi-
cine. But for some time to come, it
seems likely, its greatest use will be
in war industry.
I'VE can look through block of
steel or 6 inches thick" says DR..
E. E. Charlton of the research lab
oratories," as if it we're glass. BY
taking two X-ray pictures at an an
gle it is possible to examine the wall
Of a large casting and see, in three
dimensions, the exact location of
any possible defect which might
cause a machine to fail in use"
The newest model weighs only
1900 pounds and is easily handled in
a plant where 50-ton castings are
swung around on great cranes. 1t
will take a photograph through 5
inches of steel in two minutes. A
400,000-volt X-ray tube, the next size
smaller, requires three and half
hours to do the same job.
These light machines-the type
which has been developed for medi-
cal use weighed more than four tons
now are being installed in the war
production industries. They detect
quickly and cheaply any defect in
metal which is to be used in air
planes, tanks or naval equipment
Life Is made far more secure for
American fighters. They know they
can rely on their apparatus. Pro-
duction also is speeded up with this
device. In the Ford aircraft en-
gine plant, for exemple. one opera
tion-the testing of steel crank
shafts-now can be completed In

quired.

They have suddenly become vital
instruments for national defense.
DR.. Sanford A. Moss of the COM
pany's scientific staff now is recog-
nized throughout the world as the
father of the turbosupercharger. 1t
is absolutely essential for flying
above about three miles.
The density of the air decreases
very rapidly with altitude. The
thinner the air the poorer the per-
formance of an engine. At $4,000
feet, without special apparatus. an
aircraft engine will lose more than
half its power and the speed of the
plane will drop sharply. {
Early Solution Advanced.
The only remedy is to compress
the air to be fed into the carburetor
so that it has about the same density
as at sea level This compression
requires power. The problem was to
find a. source of this power. Two
solutions were proposed very@early
in the history of flying. One was
to make use of the waste gases
which come from the manifold of
the engine. These may provide as
much as $50 horsepower which
otherwise would go to waste. These
red-hot gases are directed by nozzles
against vanes arranged around
wheel, and the wheel thus is made
to revolve. The wheel Is attached
to a shaft on the other end of
which is a centrifugal compressor
which congresses the rarified at
mosphere which is to be mixed with
the gasoline vapor.
The scheme was first proposed by
a French engineer, Auguste Rateau,
in 1917. With the equipment pro-
posed, it was essentially unwork-
able. The National Advisory Com
mittee for AeronauticS, to whom the
device was communicated by the
French government, asked the Gen.
eral Electric Co., with it's wide back
ground of mechanical experience, to
see what could be done with it. The
job was given to DR.. Moss. He was
able to produce the turbo-super-
charger in workable form.
Since the war he and other en-
gineers have worked constantly to
perfect it. 1t has enabled American
flyers to make altitude records. 1t

Ed Fitzpatrick and "Jarp" ONeill,

them into camp three times in as
many games. Mike Red" Wallace
is their big shot with Chef Jawor-
ski, former Rhode Island State star,
and George Petrovick not far be-
hind as individual stars.
Then there is Tony Osinski ard
Eddie Sullivan, defensive greats
Wallace is the toughest player in ths
circuit to check. He generally
draws the biggest player on the OPP
posing team, but it seems to make
little difference to the former Uni
versity Of Scranton star. Most OF
his damage Is done underneath the
baskets and from the bucket and

to stop in these places. He has to
fight hard for his points, yet is al

distinction of never having been or.
oered from a game via personals.
In II of 10 games he has scored
in double figures which includes tina
three games against the Speedboys
who hope TO pit their high scoring
