POPE’S LABOR EDICT LASHES GREED OF RICH Calls for Unity of Capita! and Workers for Their Mutual Welfare. HARD, CRUEL DESPOTS’ Desire for Power Brings Conflicts, Pontiff Warns in Encyclical. By United Press VATICAN CITY, May 23.—A call for unity of labor and capital In the Interest of their common welfare was sounded today by publication of the full text of the new encyclical of Pope Plus XI, summarized in a radio address May 15 and supplementing the board platform of Pope Leo XIII In his ‘‘rerum novarum” of 1891. While adhering to the antl-So-cialistic stand of his predecessor and once more enunciating the principle of private property, Pope Pius made a thoroughly modem interpretation of economic trends and dangers. He warned against the menace of despotic power “in the hands of those who, possessing money, dominate and control loans” and showed how this led to struggles for economic supremacy for political power and between states. Modern “Greed for Power" “Greed for power has succeeded desire for wealth ,and our whole economy thus has become terribly hard, inexorable and cruel,” said the encyclical. “Profit-sharing plans for the benefit of labor were inorsed and it was pointed out that “wealth solely is produced through the workers’ labor, either manual or mechanical.” Sketching the history of the relations between capital and labor, the encyclical said: “For a long time capital appropriated so much that it left the worker a barely sufficient amount for existence. It was the changeless law that wealth belonged to the rich and the workers must remain pereptually of the proletariat?* living a poor, miserable existence. It is no wonder these false views have been opposed.” Fair Wage Is Urged The encyclical, considered the most significant economic pronouncement of the church since the time of Leo XIII, calls for the reconstruction of the world’s entire economic system to bring about a more equitable distribution of wealth between capital and labor. The encyclical adhered to the historic division between the classes of capital and labor, holding that the Creator decreed such a division and that it was forever unchangeable, but it was made clear that there be a gradin-up of the condiions of the lower levels of mankind in order that they might enjoy the benefits of modren improvements and greater productivity. Underlying the entire document was apparent the desire that the laborer be granted a fair wage, compatible with the requirements of social justice, even though this entailed a reconstruction of the present economic system. Menace Seen In Trusts Referring to th emenace of trusts and the accumulation of wealth and power, the encyclical said: "This power becomes despotic in the hands of those who, possessing money, dominate credit and control loans. Sue hpeople are, in a sense, distributors of the blood whereby the economic organism lives. They have the soul of economy in their hands; no one can breathe without their permission. Thus there is a concentration of power. “This si the resutl of a temporary economy with uneestrained competition, allowing only the strongest to survive. That is most violent and most conscienceless. Three Kinds of Struggle “This concentration of wealthy generates three kinds of struggles. First, for economic supremacy; second, for political power, and thirdly, a struggle between states. “Free competition has destroyed Itself. Economic hegemony has taken the place of freedom of markets. Greed for power has succeeded to desire for wealth, and our whole economy has thus become terribly hard, inexorable and cruel.” TYPICAL U.

Flying Future One of America’s most famous aviators has written a splendid series for NEA and The Times on “The Future of Aviation.” He is John A. Macready, former chief test pilot for the army at McCook field, Dayton, and holder of several altitude records. Interest of the nation today is being centered on aviation, because of the great army maneuvers with nearly 700 planes moving in a mass formation to “attack” Chicago, New York and other big cities. Macready became interested in aviation at? the beginning of the World war. After his graduation from Stanford he obtained a commission in the air sendee, and was in charge of flying at Brooks field. In 1921 he began his recordbreaking altitude flights. During his service at Dayton, he made fifty flights above 30,000 feet and ten above 35,000. In 1923 he made the first nonstop flight from New York to San * Diego. He resigned from the army in 1926 to enter commercial aviation work. The first article, “Air Passenger Travel to Cost Less Rail Travel,” will appear Monday in The Times.
GIANT FLEET 1 OF AIR SET TO ATTACK N. Y. Area Now Inhabited by 10,000,000 Persons to Be ‘Wiped Out.’ FLYING FIELDS SOGGY Steady Rain During Night to Make Problems More Trying for Aviators. By United Press NEW YORK, May 23.—The elements were a big factor in decreeing today whether the largest city in the United States, theoretically, will be destroyed in a massed attack by 671 airplanes—the greatest and most impressive aerial demonstration ever held by the United States army. Nearly the entire complement of the army’s air forces were grouped at five airports surrounding Manhattan today, awaiting the word which will send them into the air to “wipe out” an area Inhabited by some 10,000,000 persons. An almost continuous rain throughout the night, mixed with thunder and lightning, left the fields drenched and soggy today, making takeoffs and landings extremely hazardous.
“Demolished” Other Cities However, the weather forecaster predicted a strong sun would soon dry up the fielcft and the planes would be able to take off on schedule for the massed attack. The massive peace-time air assemblage, composed of bombers, observation, pursuit and attack planes, landed at the airports on Long Island Friday after completing more than 1,000,000 air miles since last Friday, during which time the craft either “demolished” or “protected” many cities in the middle west, including Chicago. When Brigadier-General Benjamin D. Faulois flashes the word, planes will take off from Roosevelt Field No. No. 1 and No. 2, Mitchell Field, Valley stream airport and Farmingdale. flying up Long Island and across Long Island sound into Connecticut. Combat Mythical Air Fleet There they will loiter around in the air until the entire assemblage is present. The corps will then move down the Hudson rivet* in a parade nearly twenty miles long. The first unit is scheduled to reach New York City shortly before 3 o’clock. The fleet will then spread out into two tiers, led by the pursuit group and closing with the national guard units. Over upper New York bay, a composite demonstration group of the army air corps will engage in combat with the mythical enemy planes which are attempting to bombard the city. The remained of the assemblage will skirt Brooklyn and fly over Barren island to take part in the formal dedication by Mayor James J. Walker of the Floyd Bennett airport, the city’s first municipally owned and operated air terminal. The planes will then dip in farewell salute and soar high into the skies again to fly back to their temporary airports, before again taking off for an attack on Boston and New England. The giant panorama will be broadcast by three radio networks and witnessed by several million persons in New Jersey, Connecticut and New York. One of the broadcasts will be made from the world’s tallest building—the Empire State. Others will be from special planes.

KIRKLAND DEFENSE WILL CLOSE TODAY
Climax of Trial Comes as Youth on Stand, Denies Killing Girl. By United Press VALPARAISO, Ind., May 23. Attorneys for Virgil Kir 1 today planned presentation o' testimony which they hoped would clear the 20-year-old Gary high school athlete of charges of murdering Arlene Draves, The climax of the trial, which is Kirkland’s second, came late Friday, when the youth denied all charges against him, although admitting he had been intimate with Miss Draves, whom he professed to love, at the Gary liquor orgy last autumn, which ended in her death. “I loved her,” Kirkland told the jury. “We were engaged to be married. I couldn’t have killed her.” He denied charges that he had attacked her or invited his “pals” to do so. Answering questions of Prosecutor John Underwood, he said Arlene consented to his advances at the party and previous, but said: “I didn’t know any one else had attacked her that night.” He said Miss Draves became intoxicated at the fatal party, attended by 17 others, and fell from a chair. Kirkland said he slapped her several times in an effort to bring her out of a “drunken stupor.” “I knew Babe for three years,” said Kirkland after he composedly had detailed his early life and told how he became a star high school football player, therebzy attracting Miss Draves’ attention. “I dater her about twice a week all during that time,” he continued. Kirkland added that he had been intimate with her on perhaps a score of occasions. Kirkland told of a “strip-poker” game which he said he played with Miss Draves, a girl named Dorothy! Holmes and John Churchill, a Gary youth who testified against him. He said they played a “few hands.” but that when the girls were reduced to their underclothing they refused to play longer.

How the Market Opened
NEW YORK, May 23.—Stocks moved irregularly in a narrow trading range through initial dealings today with little change shown from the preceding session. Fractional gains were made in various trading favorites such as General Motors, Bethlehem Steel, Columbia Gas, National Biscuit and American and Foreign Power. These were offset by easiness in other sections. Steel common opened % point lower, at 9914 on a sale of 4,000 shares and later recovered. Selling in the latter continued to reflect uneasiness aroused by President Farrell’s remarks regarding price cutting before the American Iron and Steel institute Friday. Other issues to suffer fractional recessions included American Telephone, Auburn, Radio-Keith, J. I. Case and North American. Trading was lethargic with dealings in the first half hour around the lowest levels of the current bear market. Dullness reflected the small speculative interest in the proceedings and further diminution of public interest. Most activity comprised trading in a few special shares. Continental shares responded to overnight advices that a group of prominent Cleveland financiers had taken an important long position in the stock, advancing fractionally to the $6 level compared with its recent low of $3.50. Alaska Juneau, on the other hand, sold off nearly a point on suspension of pool activity.

LINK BEAUTY IN CALIFORNIA DUALSLAYING Brunet Hotel Owner Is Believed to Hold Key in Mystery Crime. FUNERAL TO BE LAVISH Political Czar, Killed With Reporter, Held Great Power on Coast. * BY RONALD W. WAGONER United Press Staff Correspondent LOS ANGELES, May 23.—A “beautiful brunet” was sought by police today in the belief that she might furnish a key to the mystery killing of Charles Crawford and Herbert Spencer, in connection with which David H. Clark, brilliant young attorney, has been charged with murder. The woman, June Taylor, 28, owner of the Clinton hotel in downtown Los Angeles, had been missing since Thursday night, police said. They believed she was a confidante of Clark and the opinion was expressed that she might be able to tell of his whereabouts from 4:30 last Wednesday until 11 o’clock Thursday night, when he surrendered to District Attorney Buron Fitts. Police said Miss Taylor was a former associate of Albert Marco, sent to San Quentin by Clark about five years ago in the young attorney’s first big battle against the underworld as a prosecutor. Innocent, Says Wife “We believe Miss Taylor can give us some valuable information on Clark’s movements after Spencer and Crawford were shot,” said Blayney Matthews, Fitts’ chief investigator. Clark’s wife Nancy, the daughter of a late circuit Judge of Long Island, said she was convinced of her husband’s innocence. Her sister, Miss Molly Malone, supported her contention. “My sister and I believe that maybe Dave visited Mr. Crawford and that something terrible happened that, even though he was innocent, put Dave in such an incriminating position that he hid until he could protect himself,” Mrs. Clark said. “Or maybe he wasn't even there,” she added. “I know very little about Dave’s affairs. Clark continued his defense plans j for a preliminary hearing next Thursday. He was arraigned late Friday. Arrange Lavish Funeral While Clark maintained a smiling silence and the law sought to clear up mysterious angles of the case, plans were completed for burial today of “Good Time” Charlies Crawford, the “Grey Wolf of Spring Street,” and Herb Spencer, the mild-mannered newspaper man. Crawford’s body lay in a $15,000 casket. Late in the afternoon, the Rev. Gustav Briegleb, who converted Crawford a few months ago, will conduct the services at St. Paul’s Presbyterian church. It was in this church that the "Grey Wolf” startled Los Angeles when he announced he had “seen the light” and dropped a huge diamond ring into the collection box. He followed this with a $25,000 donation and was said to have made other gifts. Twenty years ago Crawford came to Los Angeles as a bartender in a small saloon. His customers learned that Charlie was bom in Ohio, but details of his past were a closed book. Enriched by Gaming Crawford owned the saloon before he decided that more fertile fields were presented in Seattle. For several years he operated In the northern city. Then the police chief was ousted and a political ring smashed. Crawford moved back to Los Angeles in 1919. Prohibition had ended the saloon business, so Crawford turned to gambling. His fortune grew and he turned business man on the side. He made much in the Los Angeles real estate boom. His name was linked with that of Marco and later with Guy McAfee, present gambling power in the city. Rumors were that Crawford and McAfee were estranged when Crawford was shot, but McAfee declared everything had been patched up. The peak of Crawford’s power came when he backed George Cryer, a dark horse candidate for mayor. Cryer won and Crawford was known as the “ghost behind the city hall.” Kept Political Power It was said in politics that it didn't pay to buck Charlie Crawford. Councilman Carl I. Jacobson started a vice crusade during the Cryer administration and suddenly was arrested on a morals count. He was acquitted and charged Crawford with framing him. Crawford also was acquitted. Although Crawford and Dr. Briegleb declared the former’s political ambitions ended when he joined the church, the city hall crowd never was convinced. Spencer, scion of a California family of the ’49 gold rush, former city editor of the Evening Express and associate editor of the Critic of Critics, a liberal magazine which threatened to expose "rackets,” will be buried in Mountain View cemetery. Married twice, both Spencer's widows and three children survive him. Seek Porto Rico’s Freedom By United Press SAN JUAN, P.

The Diesel has to make only eighty miles an hour to win itself a place in the starting lineup Decoration day. Forty Allowed to Start Forty cars are permitted to start in the grind and that left thirtynine places open for gasoline-en-gined cars. The original entry list totaled seventy-two, but four cars were withdrawn late this week because the machines could not be made ready in time. Should more than forty cars qualify, the slowest qualifiers, not including the Diesel, will be stricken from the lists. A brilliant battle of speed was promised for the coveted “pole” position. At least four drivers were ranked as possibilities for No. 1 in the front row and a fifth may break into the fast competition. Louis Meyer, who turned a lap Thursday afternoon at more than 117 miles an hour; Shorty Cantlon, Billy Arnold and Wild Bill Cummings were those conceded to be in the race for the pole, and it was predicted that should Leon Duray’s car have the “stuff,” Duray also would be in the thick of it. All Heroes of Past Races Meyer won the race In 1928 and ; finished second in 1929. Both years I ne was A. A. A. champion. Cantlon I finished second last year. Arnold won the race last year. Duray is holder of the one-lap and four-lap qualification records. Cummings, star Indianapolis driver, is one of the newer and more popular of the drivers. Other drivers who expected to put their cars into the qualification lists were Ernie Triplett, Buckeye-Dues-enberg; Russel Snowberger, Russell Eight; Babe Stapp, Rigling & Henning Duesenberg; Paul Bost, Empire State Special; Louis Schneider and Tony Gulotta, Bowes Seal Fact Specials; Joe Caccia, Jones-Maley Special; L. L. Corum, co-winner in the 1924 race, Stutz Bearcat; Phil Shafer, Miller, and Deacon Litz, Hank Maley Duesenberg. Meyer Is Favorite Meyer was the favorite among the guessers, and his sixteen-cylin-der mount is said to be capable of more than 118 miles an hour. It is the same car he used in last year’s race. Cantlon’s machine is a sixteen-cylinder, rear-drive, also, and is the Harry Miller Special. It is owned by Bill White. Arnold’s car is the Miller-Harts front-drive eight which carried him to victory in 1930, and Cummings’ car is a front-drive eight. Cummings, however, is undecided among the two Empire State Specials, and indicated early today he might drive the rear-drive mount. Duray’s car is a racing “freak.’* It is a sixtsen-cylindered two-cycle motor, of his own design. Two are entered, the other to be driven by Cliff Durant, the millionaire who drives race cars as a sport. Four Laps Necessary In ihe qualifications, four laps are necessary, the time for each lap being totaled and the average speed computed. The cars are timed electrically by Odis A. Porter's chronometer in the press pagoda. Porter, chief timer, is assisted in the trials by S. J. Williams, chief scorer, and Chester Ricker, director of scoring and timing.
W. E. Edenburn, A. A. A. representative, is in charge of qualifications and the race. Edenburn announced that no cars will be qualified after Wednesday sundown, and that the "usual late boys are going to find it just too bad.” Only one accident has marred the qualifications, that late Thursday afternoon, when Frank Brisko of Milwaukee dived into a wall on the north turn, and ruined the front end of his car. Brisko may be ready Wednesday. In the Air Weather conditions at 9 a.m.: North wind, 9 miles an hour; tea* perature, 51; barometric pressure, 30.34 at sea level; ceiling, broken cloudiness, unlimited; visibility, 10 miles; field, good.
