BEAUTY BIkiNG;
 HERE ARE TIPS
By BETTY CLARKE

Bicycling for beauty-even with out a bike-booms as never before this year. For the sake of love Her legs many a modern girl makes the motion of cycling in her regu- lar routine exercises.
 But beauty on bike is apt to be a spring song this season. It's fashion and fun and priorities to push on the pedals.
 I asked Cy Panitch of the Bi- cycle Club of America to suggest special aids to correct cycling, par ticularly for beginners who wish to take to bike properly.
 Here are his recommendations:
 l. Sit straight on the saddle.
 2. Relax.
 3. Don't look in back of you, nor on your front wheel.
 4. Keep your eyes forward at least 10 feet beyond the front wheel
 5. Pedal evenly, neither too slow ly nor too fast.
 6. Pedal with the balls of your feet firmly on the pedals.
 T. In coasting, see that the ped als are in horizontal position to give leverage to apply the coaster brakes freely.
 8. Don't grip handlebars too tightly.
 g. Keep wrists relaxed.

Nazis Build Special
Railway Equipment
For Soviet Winter
Revelation Helps Explain
Why Transportation Has
Proved So Costly
BY PAUL GHALI,

Foreian Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
BERN, May 2l.-Locomotives, cars
and tenders specially adapted to
Russian cold are being built in
Reichsbal1n German railway shops
In preparation for a second winter
campaign in Russia less costly in
men and material than the first, it
is reported in newspapers through
out Germany.
This revelation, as seen here, goes
far to explain why German rail
transport to the east front proved
so disastrous for the Reich's rolling
stock during the first winter cam
paign. Difficulties arose primarily
when the compressed air brakes Of
coaches and locomotives froZe in
low temperatures, particularly be-
cause of the cheap quality Of lubri-
cants in the cylinders.
Tenders often burst when the
water froze and expanded. Water
stations Of the Russian railway net
work had been mostly destroyed by
scorched-earth tactics and, in any
case, were too far distant from one
another when they were usable.
This forced the German transport
authorities to attach two water
tenders to troop and other trains.
In many cases, Nazi trains we're
compelled to halt midway on frozen
rivers and the crews had to get out,
break the ice and refill the tenders.
With the terrific Russian cold,
pumps and pipe lines got out Of or
der too frequently for safety.

Roosevelt Statement
On Wage Levels
Is Guiding ". B.
Choirmun Indicates Bourd
Will Not Consider Dotes
Pay Disputes Arose

President Roosevelt's declaration
of April 27 outlining to Congress
an anti-innation program which
would hold wages generally at lex
isting" levels is likely to guide the
War Labor Board In settling pay
disputes.
This developed yesterday when
Chairman william H. Davis indi-
Gated during q wage hearing that
the board, in conforming to this
policy, should not consider how
long disputes had been under dis
cussion or how far advanced they
were toward settlement.
A union spokesman asked the
board to bear in mind that its wage
demands on the Chase Brass 81
Copper Co. of Cleveland were made
last November and were certified
to the board last February.
Say Workers Not to Blame.
'Is 1t your thought" the chair
man asked, that the board ought
to do something inconsistent with
the Presidents policy . merely
because the negotiations were
started before the Presidents mes
sage?" Mr.. Davis added that he
was not saying what was or was
not inconsistent in this case.
Paul Hutchins. appearing for the
A. F.. L. International Association
Of Machinists. replied that he was
not asking the board to do anything
it felt it should not do, but repeated
a contention that blame for failure
to resolve the dispute before April
27 did not lie with the workers.
Many of the boards major wage
cases, including those involving Lit
tie Steel and the Aluminium Co. of
America, were certified to the board
as long as two months before the
wage stabilization policy was prom
ulgated.
Filed Minority Report
A panel report in the Chase Brass
g. Copper case was transmitted to
the board flVe days before the April
n message Two of the three panel
members recommended a basic wage
increase of to 8 cents per hour, plus
a Standardization within each classi-
flcation Of work which would allow
about 2 cents additional. The labor
Of the panel filed minority
report supporting the union demand
for a 10-cent increase and urging
that the Standardization issue be
dealt with separately later.
The company yesterday offered q
Accent increase, plus standardiza-
ton, both retroactive to January I.
1t pointed out that both OF these
also would be reflected In higher
bonuses. Between 400 and 1900
employees at Euclid. Ohio, would be
affected. The lowest starting wage
Is 10 cents.

Two Prisoners Killed,
19 Men Hurt as Bolt
Hits Barn al Lorton
Tragedy DiscIoses
Faulty Phone System
At D. G. Reformutory

Lightning killed two prisoners and
injured II other prisoners and two
guards who had taken shelter in
a barn during a thunderstorm at
the District Reformatory at Lor-
ton, Va, yesterday afternoon.
The tragedy brought into focus
a faulty telephone communications
system which connects the reform
atory withsthe outside.
Authorities, headed by Commis-
sioner Mason, initiated steps look
ing toward a remedy. Although the
faulty system had nothing to do
with bringing aid to the lightning
victims, it was disclosed that Dis
trict Penal superintendent Ray Huff
had to 60 to telephone 8 miles
away to inform District officials
about the mishap. Mr.. Huff said
today the lines from Lorton are
completely out Of order several days
a week because Of gun practice on
the firing range Of nearby Fort
Belvoir.
Two Prisoners Killed.
The two men killed were George
Adams. 10, colored, 400 block OF K
street S.W, and James johnson. 18,
colored, first block of K street NE,
both of whom were serving SEN
tences for auto theft.
The most severely shocked of the
others was a guard, Quinton Carney,
58, of Triangle, Va, but his injuries
were said not to be serious. He is
being treated at his home. He still
had a slight numbness in one leg
and an arm today, it was said The
other guard was his brother, B. F..
Carney, who received only slight
shock.
The II prisoners were kept in the
Lorton hospital over night, but none
were reported seriously hurt, and
they all probably will be released
today, it was said.
The men were in a group of SO
who had taken refuge in the barn
in a field where they were working
about a quarter of a mile north Of
the reformatory buildings. C. O..
Botkin. superintendent of the re-
formatory, said all were dazed by
the bolt.
DR.. Frank Klume, chief medical
officer Of the institution, and a DR..
King, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, who happened to be at the
reservation, were summoned. They
worked on Adams and johnson with
a pulmotor for nearly three hours
before pronouncing them dead.
Building Slightly Damaged.
The lightning did not start fire
and the only damage to the barn
were splits in two posts which sup
port the roof.
Mr.. Huff, explaining the tele-
phone difficulties, said he had ap-
pealed to the telephone company to
take action but was informed neces-
sary materials were not available.
The lines themselves are not ac-
tually broken by shells at the range,
he said, but the conclusion appar-
emily jars some mechanism out of
order. Mr.. Huff said he had asked
the Corporation Counsels Office for
advice on what legal steps might be
taken to force a rerouting of the
lines.
Commissioner Mason planned to
press for radio equipment that would
link the reformatory with the Wash
ington police radio system. Money
for the equipment was set aside in
the fund to provide AFRAID warning
facilities for the District, but priori-
ties for it have not been granted.
Mr. Mason said he would ask the
Government to aid in securing 1t.
