GANG SHOOTING OF CHILDREN IS LAID TO DOPE 9 - - Cops Grill Intended. Victim, Get Story of Battle Over Drug Trade. By United Preen iVEW YORK. Aug. 6.—The Bronx Home Newg, in a copyrighted story today, said that police had wrung from Anthony Trabino a story of events preceding the shotgunning of bable* In East 107th street last week, which pointed to a drug purveyors’ feud. Trabino, listed as 21 years old, is an employe or former partner of Vincent Coll, Harlem and Bronx racketeer, and is said to have implicated Coll in the raid in which a carload of gunners rode through Little Italy, ’mowing down children as they sought to wipe out an enemy. Trabino, according to the stpry, was the man they sought to put on the spot. Investigation did not place Coll in the murder car, but the man’s story, it was indicated, named Coll in connection with the drug dealers’ raid. Trabino was pictured by the authorities as seeking cowardly protection from the gunners’ slugs by holding a child before him as a shield. According to this version, Trabino was sitting in an automobile when the barrage opened though originally, it had been supposed the raiders were after a man in the doorway of the Helmar Social Club. Detectives had Trabino under questioning for twenty-four hours. Gradually he weakened under their fire of inquiries and is said to have told them that drugs, not beer, lay at the root of the feud which sent the car load of gunmen on their ruthless expedition.

Assembly of Akron Subjected to Scrutiny of Navy Experts

This i* the last of six stories on the N.tt’s new Akron, world's mlrhtiest sirshin, which Is to be christened br Mrs. Hoover st Akron. 0.. Aor. 8. BY ISRAEL KLEIN Science Editor, NEA Service (CODyriaht. 1931. bv NEA Service. Inc.) AKRON, 0., Aug. 6.—Every stage in the design and construction of the new U. S. Akron, which is soon to take the air here, has been under the close and careful scrutiny of the navy. Expert inspectors have checked and rechecked every joint and every part of the ship for freedom from flaws; every design and estimate had to go through the hands of the naval officers both here and In the navy’s bureau of aeronautics at Washington. When the contract was signed in October, 1928, for construction of the first of the navy’s two new ships, a naval aircraft inspector’s office was set up in the goodyearZeppelin plant here to check every development in the construction of the Akron. Suggest Improvements Under the direction of Lieutenant T. G. W. Settle, experienced airship officer and engineer, the navy assembled noted experts in airship construction. They have kept track of everything. Furthermore, they suggested changes or improvements in design and construction. They have had a corps of naval inspectors in the field checking over materials and parts produced by some 800* manufacturers. Three naval officers have helped Lieutenant Settle in directing this work. Inspections Rigid One of them, Lieutenant G. V. Whittle, Is the navy’s foremost expert on gas cells and airship fabrics. Whittle also has kept an eye on the Akron’s engineering and design details. Lieutenant Roland G. Mayer was in charge of the erection and assembly details at the dock. Lieutenant C. V. S. Knox has watched the work at the factories besides helping Lieutenant Mayer at the dock. Under these officers has been a corps of warrant and chief petty officers and civilian inspectors. Inspection of material and work on the Akron was as rigid as that made during the construction of a warship. Flaws Hunted Jn Girders Although Goodyear-Zeppelin had its own corps of inspectors, nothing was passed until a second inspection by the navy's men. No work could go ahead until after both had passed on it. An example of the thoroughness of this work is the inspection of a girder. \ First the sheet duralumin was inspected at the factory, and thus gone over by both Goodyear-Zeppe-lin and naval inspectors on arrival in Akron. Next, during its manufacture into a girder and treatment for corrosion prevention, every stage in the operation was inspected both for material and process flaws. Joints Gone Over Third, on assembly, the joints were inspected for material and process flaws. So careful was this

Just Do These Two Simple Things —lnches of Fat Melt Away

Here is a quick end easy way to take off a pound a day—four to seven pounds every week!—with never a hungry moment. A way any doctor will tell you is safe and sure. This is what you do: Take a teasponful ordinary Jad Salts in a glass of water half-hour before breakfast every morning. This reduces moisture-weight instantly. Also cleanses your system of the waste matter and excess toxins that most fat people have, and banishes pufflness and bloat. Then do this about eating: FILL YOUR STOMACH—eat your fill—of lean meats, vegetables like spniach, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, etc.. an<J lots of salads. Eat a lot. Eat all yop can hold.

Before completion of the major part, every component was gone over again and thoroughly inspected against damage since its assembly. Yet that wasn’t all. Every de-

BUTLER DEGREES IN

SCIENCE INCREASE

Trend among Butler students points toward a growing popularity of the bachelor of science degree, with a corresponding decrease in the number of undergraduates seeking bachelor of arts diplomas, according to statistics compiled by the registrar of the university. In 1923, when the first science diplomas were granted, four students received their B. S. degrees. By 1929, the number of science graduates had increased to 57. In 1930, the number increased to 65. This year, there was a greater increase than ever before. Bachelor of science graduates numbered 136. Figures show that in 1929 there were 231 bachelor of arts degrees granted. This number decreased to 199 in 1930 and in 1931 there were 178 students graduated with B. A. degrees. University authorities think the trend is accounted for by the smaller foreign language requirement for the B. S. diploma. For the degree in arts, two high school units and twenty-five hours in college are required. This means that a student may receive his bachelor of science degree with only

sweets and desserts, bread. Eat any fruit for dessert. That’s all you do. Fat seems to melt away. The coarse lines of overweight give way to the refined ones of slenderness. You lose as much as a pound a day. You feel better than for years. For in this treatment you achieve two important results. The Jad Salts clear your system of toxins. ’The diet takes off fat with food that turns to energy instead of weight. If you’re tired of being embarrassed by fat, try this way. You’ll be glad that you did. ‘Note particularly—the salts are urged purely as a poison-banishing agent—not as a reducing. The change in food does the work. You can get Jad Sajis at any drug stc-’i. —Advertisemert.

Such is an idea of the vast detail and care exercised in the construction of the mightiest of the world’s airships. 'THE END)

Bachelor of arts diplomas are offered to students in English, foreign language, mathematics, natural sciences, and social sciences.

FEDERATION OF LABOR DRAFTS RELIEF PLANS Shorter Hours, Assurance of Jobs Among Topics on Council Program. By Scripp~H award Setctpayer Alliance WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.—The American Federation of Labor's program for relief of next winter's estimated 7,000,000 unemployed and their families will be the first subject to be taken up by the executive council meeting today for a ten-day session in Atlantic City. The council meeting will begin at once to prepare its report to the annual A. F. of L. convention to meet in Bancouver, B. C., early in October. Briefly, tile program, as announced in the federation's monthly survey of business, includes the four following major steps: Shorter wsrk hours. “With modern machines in our factories work which took the average man fiftytw?o hours in 1919 can now' be done in thirty-four, but average hours were shortened only from fifty-two to fifty a week, shorter work hours w'ill distribute available work so that no one need be laid off.” Assure jobs. “Practically every employer can assure work to at least a minimum force from November to April. If the 20,000,000 .who probably will have regular work were sure of their jobs anxiety would be lifted, they would spend money and promote business.” Create work. _ “Public, in parks, roads, etc.; private, in homes.” Secure adequate funds for relief. Under the last suggestion comes the question: Will union labor demand a federal aid appropriation? Since President Hoover has so far turned a deaf ear to President Green’s insistent demand for an unemployment conference, it is believed by many that the federation
