GERMANY’S AIR QUEEN WILL BE AMERICAN GIRL Aviatrix Plans to Cross Ocean in Plane, Return to Be U. S. Citizen. NEW YORK, June 15.—Fraulein Thea Raasche is going to fly iron: New York to Berlin before long—the fates being willing—and then she is going to become Miss Thea Raasche. “I shall return, and apply for American citizenship,” said Thea Raasche, a “sky queen” in her own right. “In Germany, man is woman’s master. In America, woman is free. Here, too, the great things of tomorrow’s aviation wifi take place.” “Os the “Quiet Birdrnen,” a most exclusive fraternity of air folk, Thea Raasche is the only womah member. Os women fliers, none is more skillful, none more at home in the blue. Favorite in Germany Thousands of aviation fans in eastern cities have seen her perform in the air. In a little red Ger-man-built biplane she demonstrates a "stunting” repertoire of which any male pilot well might boast. The most resounding cheers are hers as she comes down, her ruddy face smile-wreathed and her eyes shining with the joy of having given every onlooker a thrill. Now Fraulein Raasche, 28 and maternal-looking, has bought anew Bellanca plane for a journey across the Atlantic. Aviation enthusiasts among Wall Street bankers are said to have subscribed $50,000 to finance her ventureWill Fly Ocean Plane Fraulein Raasche is cool and confident. She will fly her trans-At-lantic plane, not ride it. Within five years, the sight of a woman piloting her own plane will be commonplace in America, she said. “It is splendid for the nerves,” Fraulein Raasche explained.

LABOR COUNTS ON G.JL P, AiO Injunction Curb Law May Be Supported. BY LEO R. SACK By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo„ June 15. Possible Republican support for legislative curbing the use of injunctions in labor disputes is seen in an anti-injunction plank in the Republican platform. Administration forces heretofore have been opposing such measures. The platform says, "we believe that injunctions in labor disputes have in some instances been abused and have given rise to a serious question for legislation.” It was the first time such a plank has been inserted in a Republican platform and it results from the ap-

pearance before the resolutions committee of William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Representative Nathan Parlman of New York. K. A. P.

CITY MANAGER LEAGUE DRAFTS LAWREVISIONS Expect Vote in Few Days on Amendments for Harmony.. . The Indianapolis City Manager League legislative committee has completed the final draft of proposed Amendments to the present Indiana city manager law, Chairman Winfield Miller said today. Miller said he had sent copies of the redraft to committee members for their approval and expects to call a conference in a few days. Miller has spent several months on the statute, consulting eminent attorneys and manager authorities of other States. Local manager leaders have suggested improvements. Minor changes in about fifteen sections of the law will be needed to “harmonize” the manager statute with other legislation, Miller said. Mayor L. Ert Slack has cooperated

with the committee in suggesting improvements. Slack is shaping his administration so as to merge with the new form in January. 1930. The present statute abolishes all city departments execept those of law and finance. The commission, which replaces the city council, is authorized to create such other boards or departments that it deems wise. Amendment of the statute to create a department of civil service is considered by the committee. Under the manager form the executive, legislative and judicial powers are conferred on the commission, with managerial powers delegated to the city manager, who is the directing head of all branches. It is proposed to amend the law to transfer powers of the park and sanitary boards to the commission. They are created under separate laws which permit them to Issue bonds. Miller said the committee has decided to insert a clause clearly setting out that the schools are not to be under the manager government. Abolishment of the budget schedule set out in the manager statute to permit the law to conform with the general State budget law probably will be suggested. The chief entomologist estimates Australia’s loss through insect pesta at $100,000,000 a year.

CITY MAY GET MORE_POLICE Fire Department Increase Also Favored. Increase of manpower in police and fire departments was favored today by Mayor L. Ert Slack. Fire Chief Harry E. Voshell asked ninety-six more men, and Police Chief Claude M. Worley requested 150 additional policemen. “I do not know how many more men can be employed, but I favor an increase. We probably will decide on whatever the council feels will be financially possible,” Slack said. “The fire department needs a number of improvements in a physical way. Many of the buildings need repairs. Equipment of police is somewhat better.” “I am opposed to issuance of bonds for running expenses,” Slack said. Several bond issues were authorized this year to meet emergencies due to the slashed 1928 appropriation. Slack is planning to straighten out city finances so the expendi-

tures in 1929 will put the municipality in good shape for the city manager form, effective in January, 1930. The mayor declined to comment on whether the tax levy will be in-
