NAVY PROGRAM IS UNCHANGED, SAYSCOOLIDGE President and Wilbur Confer and Indicate Expansion May Be in Aviation. Bu United Press RAPID CITY, S. D., Aug. 9. President Coolidge conferred with Secretary of the Navy Wilbur today about the future naval building program as a result of the breakdown of the Geneva disarmament conference. Both announced afterward that no immediate changes in plans is contemplated. In Mr. Coolidge’s behalf it was announced that the naval program would go on a susual. Now that the agreement has failed, the United States remains in the same position that she was before. Turn to Airplanes Mr. Coolidge implied that there might be expansion of the air building program. The only amplification of that statement which Wilbur would make was an explanation that the “usual manner” meant the recommendations of the general board would be submitted to the budget bureau and the President as required by law before presentation to Congress. While both statements breathed extreme caution, they left a clear impression that some plan might be presented to Congress next session tc enlarge the Navy. Troubles Over Zeppelin Wilbur also made known that difficulties have arisen between the government and the Goodyear Zeppelin Cos., which may prevent building of anew dirigible three times the size of the Los Angeles. The company, said Wilbur, has refused to enter a contract on a cost plus fixed fee basis. It has insisted that in an experimental enterprise it should be permitted more financial leeway. Wilbur intends to give the matter to Congress and let it determine whether the government jshould drop the plan. The dirigible would be able to carry three fighting air planes and would cost about $4,500,000. Wilbur also indicated that the contemplated expansion in the air service would be carried forward on larger scale. He estimated that under present arrangements the department would be equipped in five years with 1,000 first class fighting planes.

Plans for the radio show Sept. 3-10, the week of the Indiana State fair diamond jubilee, were discussed by the Indianapolis Radio Distributors’ Association Monday night at the Chamber of Commerce.

DOOMED MEN WAIT CALMLY FOR DEATH Brilliant Lights in Cells of Charletson Prison Reveal Only Phlegmatic Thought of Fate. BY HENRY MINOTT United Press Staff Correspondent # r— —iOSTON, Aug. 9.—Three brilliantly lighted cells in the low-walled B death house of Charlestown State prison today hold three strangely different men, united by the ties of a common cause. In cell No. 1 (nearest the electric chair in which all three are scheduled to die early Thursday} is Celestino Madeiros, youthful Portuguese, whose fate has long been sealed. In cell No. 2 is Bartolomeo Vanzetti, philosopher and fish peddler, a big, silent, thoughtful man, proud and defiantly anarchistic. The third cell holds Nicola Sacco, a mild-mannered little man who long ago decided that death as a “martyr” to the cause he represents was preferable to vindication. \

Seated at a small table in front of the row of cells are two guards, watching day and night the lasthour movements of the doomed men. They will not watch much longer. Three times during the minutes after midnight Thursday Warden William Hendry’s hand will fall. Three times an unseen hand will respond, and in less than half an hour the seven-year-old case of the Commonwealth vs. Sacco and Vanzetti will at last have been closed. But though they must have realized today that only a legal miracle could lengthen their span of life beyond forty short hours, all three seemed to regard their plight’ with phlegmatic calm. Sacco, weakened by twenty-three day swithout food, reads and writes but little, spending most of his time on his prison cot with an occasional word to his comrade, Barto. The condemned men cannot see each other, but by speaking loudly they are able to converse. Vanzetti More Active More active is Vanzetti, who is spending what may be the final hours of his life reading philosophical works and writing letters to his elderly father and other relatives in Italy. He has just finished reading “The Rise of American Civilization,” by Charles A. Beard and Mary Beard. He told a member of the defense committee that he found the book very enjoyable, despite the circumstances under which it was read. Madeiros reads, too, but he prefers magazines with action stories, tales of the West, stories of the sea. He has since been resigned to his fate and the depressing atmosphere of the death house has seemingly had no effect upon his mnid. Death prisoners have one advantage over other men confifled to the grim, gray building in the shadow of Bunker Hill. They may order almost anything in the way of food, choice viands that never are served elsewhere in the prison. Madeiros has taken advantage of this privilege. He has ordered fruits and other dainties and has dined on them to his heart’s content. But Sacco has not had nourishment in any form since July 17, and Vanzetti has eaten only spasmodically of the simple prison fare. Sacco has not even opened the aluminum box in which meals are served since he started his hunger strike. Spurn Spiritual Comfort The three men now occupying the fateful cells have virtually established a death house precedent. Almost never before in Massachusetts has a condemned man failed to welcome the solace of religion during his last days on earth. Sacco, Vanzetti and Madeiros have spurned this spiritual comfort while counting the waning hours now separating them from their doom, though they have been friendly to Father Michael J. Murphy, and the Rev. William Whitney, prison chaplains, who have visited them.

Lindgbergh had courage, skill, foresight, persistence, and a spirit of high adventure. But in addition, he had $2,000. which he had slowly saved from his hard earned wages as a mail pilot.

FIND DISEASES TO Kill BORER Purdue Director Reports Scientists' Success. By United Press LAFAYETTE, Ind., Aug. 9.—Discovery of two parasitical diseases which kill the European corn borer was announced today by Dr. Edward C. Elliott, president of Purdue University. Dr. Elliott received word of the discovery from Dr. G. I. Christie, director of the Purdue agricultural experiment station, who is now in Europe with an international committee, studying the pest as it occurs in continental countries, and enlisting the aid of European scientists in its control. Dr. Christie's communication declares that scientists of the Pasteur Institute in France have discovered a parasite that destroys the eggs of the corn borer. It is of a different form than that developed iff Berlin, called trico-gamma, and also eats the eggs. It has been discovered, Dr. Christie writes, that if corn borer infested stalks are stacked and covered with potato stalks, the borers will leave the corn and go into the potato stalks. '— Dr. Christie said the American party has about completed its observations and planned to sail from Europe in time to reach the United States about Oct. 1., Boy Paralyzed in Movie Theater Bn United Press LAWRENCE, Mass., Aug. 9.—A movie had such an effect on the emotions of Rudolph Pennault, 16, that he was unable to leave his seat after the show.
