COSTS LESS TO GREET 1931 IN GOTHAM CAFES New Year's Eve Expenses to Range From 20 Cents to $2,000. BY HARRY FERGUSON tatted Pre Staff Corresoondent NEW YORK. Dec 30.—A conscientious attempt to ascertain how much money will be spent along Broadway on New Year's eve celebrations revealed today that individual expenditures will range from 20 cents to $2,000. Both prices include a headache. The throng that annually invests 20 cents in its celebration will be augmented this year by a large number of persons who believe conditions are basically sound, but don t rare to spend any money proving n As usual, their money is budgeted as follows: Subway fare to Times cents;, one paper cap. o cents; one paper horn, 5 cents; subway fare home, 5 cents. Upon arrival at Times Square, they don the caps, blow the horns and push each other off the sidewalk Everybody Gets a Headache Eventually# the violent exhaling required to blow the horn, combined with the glare of the bright lights, gives everybody a headache. Then one goes home and knows one has been some place and seen omething The $2,000 can and will be spent in any one of the following places: Hotel Ritz-Carlton. Central Park Casino and Club Lido The $2,000 includes a horn For the man in between, however, the cost will be about S6O, excluding the. cost of a woman to stay with the two children. He will take his wife to a musical show—perhaps "The New Yorkers ’ or “Three’s a Crowd’’—and whereas on ordinary evenings it would cost him $5.50 a ticket, the tariff for New Year's eve is sll a scat. Lower Prices at Hotels After-theater supper and celebration at one of the better hotels will come to S3O, and the taxicab home is going to cost $3. That leaves $5 md a choice between a pint of middling rye or three quarts of gin. Most of them will make it rye. Business depression is reflected in lower prices in the hotels and night clubs. Already the following reductions have been announced in cover charges; Biltmore, from sls to $12.50; McAlpin, from sl4 to sl2; Pennsylvania, from sls to sl2; Plaza, from sl2 to $lO, and the St Regis, from sls to sl2. Nothing daunted, the Central Park Casino will ask S2O a person, and probably get it INDIANA COMPANY LOSES Railroad Escapes Paying Damages for Failure to Provide Cars. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Reparations were denied the Alexander King Stone Company of Indiana by the interstate commerce commission for damages alleged due to failure of the Chicago, Indianapolis Louisville railroad to provide cars for loading stone at the company’s quarry at Stinesvillc. Ind. The decision was supplemental to one issued previously in which the commission found that the road's action was unduly prejudicial, unjust and unreasonable. In declining to award damages, the commission concluded that while some stone might have been marketed if cars had been provided, the cost of such sendee would have been unprofitable.

Rosenwald Provides $4,000,000 Museum for 1933 World s Fair

The Fine Arts Building of the Chicago world's fair which is now being remodeled to house the unique and costly Rosenwald museum, is shown here. At left is Julius Rosenwald. whose $4,000,000 gift makes the museum possible.

Models of All Inventions to Be Put in Remodeled Fine Arts Building for Public to See and Operate. Bu NBA Service CHICAGO, Dee. 30.—An elaborate industrial museum which will contain working models of almost every kind of industrial and mechanical construction ever devised, and which will permit the visitor to step up and examine the exhibits to his heart's content, is being assembled in Chicago now in preparation for the World's Fair in 1933. It will be known as the Museum of Science and Industry, and is being made possible through a gift of $4,000,000 by Julius Rosenwald. The great Fine Arts building in Jackson park, a relic of the great fair of 1893, is being remodeled to house it. There will be more than nine miles of exhibits with upward of 60.000 specimens. In as many cases as possible the exhibits will be lifesized. Where this is impossible, working models will be constructed. The important thing, however, is that none of them will be hidden in a glass case. The spectator will be free to pull all the levers and push all the buttons he sees. Prepare Road History As far as possible, the sponsors of the museum hope to show the development of modern America by means of successive models which will trace the various steps in the emergence of the things illustrated. For example, one exhibit will show how the modern paved street has developed. The visitor will first walk along an ordinary jungle path, such as the cavemen trod thousands of years ago. Then he will step out-on an exact reproduction of one of the famous ojd Roman roads. After that he will go along one of the muddy, bumpy roads of the middle ages, full of pools of water and broken bits of paving stone. Sleeping Car’s Progress This, in turn, will lead him to one of the earliest paved or graveled roads, and finally he will come out on a bit of modem highway, with manholes, car tracks, street lamps and the like, and with a model cross section beside him showing how subways, pipe lines and such are carried beneath the street. Or suppose the spectator wants to trace the development of the sleeping car. First he will be ushered into a crude box, will feel the car sway beneath him just as the ancient railroad coaches used to sway over their primitive roadbeds and will see just how his grandfather slept when he went traveling. Run Mechanically Next, he will go into naother car, slightly more modem, but with the chief advantage consisting in rough bunks along the walls. From this he will pass into a model of the first real sleeping car with lights, bedclothing and a semblance of comfort; and after this he will be ushered into a modem Pullman. This exhibit will be highly elaborate; the motion of the cars and the noise of their wheels will be simulated mechanically, and a glance out of the window will show bite of scenery flying past. If the visitor is curious about ships he can have a lot. of fun. He can step up to a big tank, push a button and see a fifteen-foot model

of the Leviathan slide into a great pier, assisted by puffing little tugs. Or he can go to an exact scale reproduction of the Welland canal and can himself send model ships through the locks by pushing the proper buttons. All in all, there will be COO ship models for him to play with. In the basement, he will be able to go down into a real coal mine. He will actually descend only seventeen feet, but the shaft will be devised so as to give him the illusion of great depth. At the bottom he will find mining operations in full sway. There will be a great exhibit of

SPEAKEASY COMEDY RETURNS TONIGHT ‘Strictly Dishonorable,’ With Margaret Sullivan, Cesar Romero and Willard Dashiell, Arrives. BROCK PEMBERTON’S comedy hit, ‘‘Strictly Dishonorable, - ’ will be given by a. specially selected New York cast for its return visit to English’s tonight, The engagement will be for five nights and a matinee on New Year’s day and Saturday. As in the case of the original New York production, now In its second year at the Avon theater, casting and direction have been attended to by Antoinette Perry and Brock Pemberton, the play’s original sponsors who are responsible for the present company.

Preston Sturges, the author of this continuously mirthful comedy, has drawn his characters and created the atmosphere of a New York speakeasy in which the action is laid, with a swift and sure hand which insure peal upon peal of sidesplitting laughter. Among those who have roles are Margaret Sullivan, Cesar Romero, Willard Dashiell, Rudolph Badaloni, Joseph McCallion. R, B, Williams, Leo Leone and Edward Hartford. , a a a LYRIC PRESENTS TOM BROWN Tom Brown and the Six Brown Brothers top the bill at the Lyric this week with an act that has long been a favorite to theater fans. Brown is putting on a great show. I honestly can say I enjoyed his act better this time than ever before. I doubt whether any one can approach his way of clowning about on a saxophone. We have got to hand it to hmi for his great showmanship and ability to keep an act alive to the extent it is like good literature that can be read and re-read. We never tire seeing Brown and his act. Mike Ames, formerly a college boy. is among the best of the female impersonators that I have seen. He has a way of wearing feminine clothes that is right up to snuff. Whitey, a little white and brown dog, is a remarkably welltrained dog. Whitey can pull off a fake drunk better than some humans that I have seen. Ed Ford presents Whitey. Sidney Page, assisted by two girls, puts on a comedy act with some dancing that is very pleasing entertainment. Barton and Young, singing comedians, might be funny to a lot of people, but their act appeared rather silly and not much accomplished to me. A bar act opened tire bill. The feature picture this week is “Part Time Wife,” with Edmund Lowe and Leila Hyams. Here is a comedy on married life that is real fan. and sometimes rather tearful, because of the presence of Tommy Clifford, who soothes out the marital troubles of a married couple who would divorce each other. When the husband invites his

WIGKERSHAM’S DRY REPORT !S SET FOR JAN. 6 Prohibition Is Assured of Becoming Live Issue After Congress Recess, BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.—Prohibition is assured of becoming a live issue in congress soon after the recess. The long-awaited report of the Wickersham commission .was promised for Jan, 6, the day after congress reconvenes, in word to Republican leaders at the Capitol. House wets planned a fight on the additional $2,000,000 for the prohibition bureau which is to be approved soon by the appropriations committee. Commission Is Meeting The eleven members of the Wickersham commission resumed their sessions here today, apparently to put the finishing touches to their report, but still noncommittal as ever about their plans and without any public announcement about the report. There were strong indications the commission's report would avoid any controversial recommendations, such as have been rumored for several weeks, and would confine itself to a. statement of its investigation, perhaps with suggestions about measures to improve enforcement along lines recommended last session. This would meet approval from drys, but would revive criticism from wets. The whole prohibition question is certain to be opened for debate by the commission’s report. Fight Doomed to Fail The appropriations committee plans to report to the house between Jan. 10 and 13 the joint justice, state, commerce and labor department appropriations bill which contains the additional $2,000,000 asked by Amos W. W. Woodcock, prohibition director, to hire 500 more dry agents, among other things. The fight, is doomed to fail, because of the strong dry majority, but it promises to be a bitter one. It will represent the final move of the wets at this session in a campaign to keep their cause to the forefront in anticipation of increased strength in the new' congress. ROBBERY TRIAL SET — Two Will Face Court Friday in Clinton Case. By Times Special NEWPORT, Ind., Dec. 30.—James Clark and Walter Dietrich, alleged survivors of a gun battle which followed robbery of the Citizens bank at Clinton, in which four men lost their lives, will go on trial in Vermillion circuit court here Friday on charges of bank robbery.

During the warm days of last summer, Walter Secosh of Milwaukee bet a friend that he would take a plunge in the Milwaukee river in December. When December finally came, however, Milwaukee was enjoying zero weather and the river was covered with ice 18 inches thick. However, Secosh set out to win his bet—and he did. after friends had sawed a hole in the ice. He is shown here plunging into the icy waters, with his friends standing by, sympathetically shivering.

FASCISTS SEEK PRUSSIA RULE Hitler # Aids Concentrate Efforts in Germany. By United Press BERLIN, Dec. 30. —German Fascists, under leadership of Adolph Hitler, have set political supremacy in Prussia as the next objective in their drive for control of the reich. Prussia embraces two-thirds of the German territory and the government still is predominantly Socialist, Just as the Socialists are the largest of the parties represented in the reichstag. Otto Braun, regarded as one of the strongest leaders of the Socialist party, is premier of Prussia and a determined foe of the Fascists. Within the last few days the Hitlerites have concentrated their efforts in the Prussian state, despite the measures taken against them by Braun. They aided Alfred Hugenberg’s Nationalist party and the semimilitary Steel Helmet League in preparing a referendum for dissolution of the Prussian diet and the calling of new elections. The plan requires the support of 5,000,000 voters, or one-fifth of the Prussian electorate, to achieve a plebiscite on the question of dissolution. It was considered certain that the necessary signatures could be obtained. but when a vote is taken

'HOOVER LOOKS WITH FAVOR ON SOLDIERS' LOAN Seriously Considering New Veterans Aid Proposal of Vandenberg, BY PAUL R. MALLON t nftrd Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.—Pres idem Hoover seriously is considering the proposal to place four to five hundred million dollars .in the hands of needy veterans, it was learned today at the White House The President has called upon Brigadier General Hines, administrator of veterans affairs, and Treasury Secretary Mellon to furnish him with reports on the proposed compromise as anew measure of unemployment relief. The administration has been lined up solidly against, the original proposition to cash the insurance certificates now being held by some 3,600,000 veterans throughout the country But a loan compromise brought forward by Senator Vandenberg (Rep.. Mich.), has met most of the objections to the original scheme. It will call for no additional outlay of government funds. It will not necessitate an increase in taxes of a new bond issue. It. would only divert money front the treasury sinking fund to be ioaned to distressed veterans in amounts approximately 50 per cent ; of the total value of their insurance : certificates. About 1.400.000 veterans already 1 are borrowing 18 or 22 per cent of ! the value of their certificates and I the Vandenberg offer only would I permit them to get 32 to 28 per cent 1 more at the usual rate of interest.
