FORD BELIEVES MACHINES HELP PROVIDE JOBS New and Greater Demands, Better Prices Result, Genius Insists. -Hm if'(hr otrond of four article, bv Garrion Vlllard. editor of The nation, on Mr. and Mr* Henry Fords'" i uropean trip aboard tbr Bremen. BV OSWALD GARRISON VILLARD Editor of The .Nation. Written exclusively for United Press! ON BOARD THE S. S. BREMEN By Mail to United Press)—Henry l ord goes to Europe. His devoted ccretary E. G. Lieboldt is with him •uid two friends from Detroit. There is no retinue, no ostentation, no living in the most luxurious shins for him. At first he seemed a bit afraid lest he be spoken to by too many. This wore off quickly when the pasengers respected his desire to be by himself But he. is happy to meet them =md to talk with the utmost frankness about anything they wish to ask him. A fine lad steps up to inquire if it is true that he is planning to take over one of the most famous of the small British cars. No, my boy," he says, “but I am '•oing to build a hotel in England io house all the rumors that are i i.rculating there about me." Swaps Yarn for Yarn A German professor eagerly asks tns views on the future of agriculture and Ford gives them just as eagerly and tells all about his new tractor He has found an old acquaintance on board, Count Felix von Luckner. the famous war-time ea-raider who ran the British blockade in a sailing vessel. Ford listens with the joy of a boy to the count's oft-told talcs and swaps yarn for yarn with him. Anon he drifts back so the ship we are on "I am buying an engine about like this one to run half of our River Rogue factory and perhaps more than that.

Beady With Answer “Can you believe we are going ihrough the water at thirty miles?" “Are you thinking about inventions all the time?” asks a distinguished American woman to whom he has just sketched his latest invention, anew device for his car. “Yes," says this man with a dreamer's face, “that’s the way we keep alive." For an answer he never hesitates. Mot that there is offensive cockureness; it again is the eager simplicity of a boy. He is certain that stocks never will rise again to their last year’s levels. He knows that many, many men must be put on the land to help America out of her troubles. Better Methods Needed He swears, contrary to most economists, that every new machine does-xiot throw men out of work hut that it creates new jobs by creating new and greater demands and better pricesMore machines, more machines is lus cry and better and better methods. As for labor, it must not stay too long in one place. “We don't want men to stay long in our mines and forests,” he repeats. "We want them to move on and up. That's why he is not more interested in building an American merchant marine. “Men ought not to stay more than ? few years at sea," he says. “Then they ought to go ashore again."

Gives Helpers $1,500 to Spend, End Hard Times

IS u XL A Sen: ice KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 4. Like a good many other business men, Leo Muchenberger believes that business would improve if people would only spend more money. Unlike some of them, however, he has the pourage of his convictions, all the way up to the hilt. Muchenberger is president of a walll paper and paint company. It has a plant here, and has branch offices in St. Joseph, Mo., Oklahoma City and Houston. The other day, pondering on the country's need for freer spending, he announced that he w'ould give S3O to each employe of the company, provided that the employe would go out and spend it at once. So he sent a check for S3O to each employe, both in Kansas City and in the branch offices. He made these stipulations: The recipient must go out and spend the money w'ithin the week. Cash in full must be paid for what is bought. The money must nfet be used as a first payment in an installment purchase. It must not be used to pay installments on articles already purchased, or to pay any debts. Each employe must, submit a report showing what he had bought. The reports are coming in now. Some employes bought new tires for their automobiles. Others bought coal for the wdnter. Many women bought dresses or lingerie or hose. Men bought suits and shoes and hats. Some simply stocked up on groceries. “Every purchase,” says Muchenberger, “helped start a business revival. Now if other employers would start the same plan w r e'd soon forget there ever had been a business depression.” The experiment cost him $1,500. ROTARY CLUB TO ELECT Naming of Directors for Year to Be Followed by Dinner. Annual election of directors for the Indianapolis Rotary Club will be held at 6 Tuesday p.t a dinner in the Riley room of the Claypool.

PALL OF GLOOM GREETS HOOVER ON OHIO TRIP Republican Rout Forecast in Buckeye State by Party Leaders. Bv .V EA Service CLEVEUAND, Oct. 6.—President Hoover heard discouraging political news during his visit to Cleveland to address the American Bankers Association and to confer informally with Ohio Republican political leaders. He learned that Ohio, the state in which he successfully launched his presidential candidacy two and onehalf years ago, and which gave him a 763,000 majority over Alfred E. Smith, may elect both a Democratic senator and a Democratic Governor in November. From Governor Myers Y. Cooper and Senator Roscoe McCulloch, w'ho are seeking re-election, and from others, he learned that this promises to be a bad year for Republican candidates; both McCulloch and Cooper are worried, and so are other candidates. Prohibition and unemployment are the chief causes of dissatisfaction. McCulloch is a bone dry and his Democratic opponent, Robert Johns Bulkley of Cleveland, is for repeal of the prohibition law. Big Switch Forecast In Cuyahoga county, largest in the state, where Hoover led Smith by 21,000 votes, predictions are being made that Bulkley will win by from 30,000 to 40,000. This ratio of turnover is reported for Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo. Akron and Youngstown, with the normal Republican majority greatly curtailed in the rural sections. Governor Cooper's administration has proved unpopular. He has been unfortunate in many appointments, and voters apparently are eager for a change. President Hoover was careful not to discuss publicly Ohio political conditions while he was here, but he went into the situation in private conferences. Before he reached Cleveland, Senator McCulloch boarded'his train at Alliance and for more than an hour McCulloch told the President and PostmasterGeneral Walter F. Brown just what he had found in his campaign trip throughout the state.

Crowds Are Listless A few' hours later Governor Cooper told his troubles to the President and Postmaster General Brown. Between times, Joseph R. Nutt, treasurer of the Republican national committee, commented on conditions. / Indicative of the sentiment of Cleveland voters w'ere the crow'ds along Euclid avenue during the drive from the station to the hotel. There was little enthusiasm and cheering, even though the President rode in an open automobile on a beafitiful day. New Zealander Here A. A. Creamer of Auckland, New Zealand, globe-trotter and Boy Scout commissioner in Auckland, spoke at the parents' council meeting at the Boy Scout reservation I Sunday. Creamer, during his stay j here, is the guest of Dr. and Mrs. l Frederick Vs. Burnham.

CITES NEED OF STATE DRY AID Co-ordination Is Essential, U. S. Chief Says. Bv Scripps-Howard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Until complete co-operation of state, county and municipal officials is obtained, the prohibition law never will be enforced, in the opinion of Lieutenant-Commander John* D. Pennington, federal prohibition administrator for Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware. Penningtons views were read to a meeting of members of the United States supreme court and United States circuit judges at a meeting here. Pennington was chief of the western Pennsylvania district when promoted to the three-state directorship. In the Pittsburgh territory he instituted a system of co-opera-tion with county officials which was commended by the prohibition bureau to other administrators. “No chain is stronger than its weakest link, and the weak link heretofore, in the successful enforcement of the law, lias been neglects—often wilful—upon the part of

the state, county and municipal authorities to assume their full responsibility in the law's enforcement,” he said. “How r ever, do not understand me to say that all failures in the ten years of prohibition are due to lack of co-operation. Responsibility for many of the failures well can be placed on the federal government. Frequent changes and reorganizations seriously have affected the wjork.”

SHARE HELIUM FOR DIRIGIBLES, MOFFETT PLEA R-101 Disaster Laid to Use of Hydrogen Gas by Naval Official. j Bv United Frees \ WASHINGTON. Oct. 6.—While deeply shocked at the R-101 disaster, government aviation leaders professed unshaken faith in the practicability of dirigibles. Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the navy bureau of aeronautics, proposed the United States share its unlimited supply of helium with other nations in time of peace, to end the dangerous use of hydrogen. | Moffett blamed the R-101 disaster to the explosive qualities of hydro- ! gen and paid a tribute to "the BritJ ish and Germans who have had the I vision and courage to carry on with | rigid airships, despite disasters and J handicaps In the danger of hydro- : gen.” “The United States is the only country in the world' possessing helium, non-inflammable, non-explo-sive gas, in unlimited quantities,” | Moffett said. “The present law prohibits exportation. I would urge that the United States repeal this law for the benefit of all nations and allow it to be sold in time of peace." “The loss of the R-101 has not shaken one iota my confidence in the prac- Lability of rigid airships and their great value as a means of international communication and transportation over the oceans,’* Moffett continued. Bv United Press LEIPZIG, Germany, Oct. 6.—Necessity for using helium in lighter-than-air craft was re-emphasized by the loss of the R-101, Dr. Hugo Eckened, commander of the Graf Zeppelin, and a pioneer in airship construction, said at a reception given in his honor Sunday night by the city of Leipzig. “The disaster could not have been due to the heavy rain," he said. “Despite rain on its envelope weighing 15.5 tons the airship could, have been kept aloft. I can not imagine the R-101 having encountered rain anywhere that would have burdened it to anyw'here near that extent. “The Graf Zeppelin on its South American flight encountered the heaviest rains I ever have experienced. Yet even those trade rains never exceeded seven tons. We had to use only 50 per cent of our lifting power to offset the effect of the rains. “I also am unable to conceive that the accident was due to thunder storms. I recall when the Graf Zeppelin flew over the Rhone valley through an exceedingly fiierce storm without its steering ability being impeded.” Dr. Eckener flew his Graf Zeppelin here from Friedrichshafen early this morning, and w-as informed of the disaster immediately upon landing.
