CHRYSLER JR. BUILDING NEW PUBLISHING ART Firm Printing High-Priced Books ‘Out of Red’: Gallery Making Money. BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Press Start Correspondent NEW YORK, March 18.—Walter P. Chrysler .Jr., whose father embodies the spirit of the machine age, has brought the book publishing art to Forty-second street, and made it pay dividends. Sitting in his office high up in the tower of the Chrysler building, the 22-year-old son of the motor magnate said today that his publishing firm, called Cheshire House, is “out of the red,” and that his art gallery, opened a week or so ago, is showing promise of big things already. Two Years at Dartmouth Two years at Dartmouth college were enough, young Chrysler felt. He founded “The Five Arts” and ■ The Arts Quarterly” at school, took an active part in dramatics, and finally came down from Hanover to announce to his father that he wanted to become a publisher. He set up Cheshire House in the fall of 1930, leasing offices in his father’s building at the regular rental rate. He decided on a program of twelve books for the first year, ranging in price from $lO to S6O. 'The S6O book was Dante's Inferno, which cost $56 to produce. This venture cost the Budding Young Publisher $34,000 cash money. Such a setback was discouraging. But Chrysler plugged along with the rest of his program. Making Money Now Last August he found himself making money. Now he’s ready for anew program which will include books ranging i n price from $1.50 to $6. "Europe is so far ahead of us,” he explained, in the craftsmanship of her printers and binders. We have been behind always. But Cheshire House is not going abroad io have its books printed and bound. I feel that if given encouragement, this country can outstrip foreign countries in excellence of printing. Perhaps we’ll help toward that end.” .AWARDED SCHOLARSHIP Shortridge Graduate Likely to Study at Oxford. A Shortridge high school gradu- i ate, Albert W. Levi Jr., 1 East Thirty-sixth street, has won the James B. Richardson fellowship of Dartmouth college. The fellowship provides for graduate study at any institution in this country or abroad.

BY BEN STERN “OEWARE of the Ides of March,” that fateful warning given Caesar, could well apply to Governor Harry G. Leslie, although it is hoped in a much less tragic manner. Hoosierdom's SIB,OOO a year football, fishing and hunting expert is in a tough spot and through circumstances Leslie never believed would occur. Thumb through memory and recall that several months ago, when the Indiana farm bureau was putting on pressure for a special session of the general assembly, and had both party chairmen agree to keep politics out of it (as if that were possible), Leslie promised that if the majority of both houses could agree to a tax relief program a call would be issued. Having served in the legislature, and knowing the temperament of the alleged statesmen, the Governor was quite confident that agreement was practically impossible. MUM He was made doubly sure when William H. Settle, president of the Farm bureau, and John R. Kinghan, conservative Indianapolis meat packer, were named to select a tax program committee. Settle was believed to be adamant in his demands for a levy upon both personal and corporate incomes, while Kinghan led the group of business men who, during the last session, fought bitterly the latter type of tax. It lolced as if it was in the bag for the anti-special session group, mainly composed of big business. But to the consternation of Leslie and to the surprise of even themselves, the citizens’ committee members have evolved a program which so far has met with almost universal approval. Why, even the Lafayette Journal and Courier, the organ of Henry Marshall, the Governor behind the Governor, has carried a front page editorial warmly indorsing the tax equalization and relief program evolved by the committee. u n m It doesn’t taken an extraordinarily bright chap, after reviewing the history of the Leslie regime, to grasp the idea that, with such recommendation, the Governor may issue the call—that is if Marshall’s hold has not waned—and there have been rumblings to this effect. So on the Ides of March, with one of his stipulations met through the framing of the program, together with an excellent prospect of obtaining pledges from a majority, Leslie must face the issue. But, of course, he already has pulled anew bug-a-boo out of his packed storehouse—he now declares that if the legislators assemble they may decide to appropriate money to feed the unemployed. Well, who is going to feed the hungry? What Leslie really is afraid of today is that a special session, determined upon economy, may decide that SIB,OOO a year is too much pay for the kind of absentee landlord service he gives. It also may reach the conclusion that dictates of economy would suggest that the $125,000 a year emergency contingent fund, for the expenditure of which the Governor is responsible to no one, also should be reduced.

EX-MILLIONAIRE COP KILLED IN GUN JCCIDENT Young Detroit Clubman Once Held as Witness in Slaying of Jerry Buckley. By United Press DETROIT, March 18.—Egbert M. Hoffman, 27-year-old millionaire clubman, once held as a material witness in the slaying of Gerald (Jerry) Buckley, radio announcer, was found dead in his Grosse Pointe mansion Thursday night, a bullet wound near the heart. The millionaire’s death, at first reported a suicide, was adjudged an accident by Corcner J. E. Burgess. Hoffman was killed when an automatic pistol he was cleaning exploded, the coroner said. Mrs. Alma S. Hoffman, society leader and mother of the clubman, told authorities she heard the shot which ended her son’s life. Hoffman, a lawyer and heir to one of Detroit’s largest fortunes, was known for several years as the millionaire policeman after he accepted a job as “special officer” at police headquarters. He became involved in the Buckley murder investigation when it was disclosed his secretary, Helen Foote, roomed with Marjorie Mansel, alleged sweetheart of Pete Licovoli, a gangster then accused of the murder. Released when he proved unable to assist police in solving the murder, the young millionaire retired from politics and devoted his time to society. He was a member of the Friars’ Club of New York City, the Detroit and Grosse Pointe Yacht Clubs and the Michigan Bar Association.

‘UNITE IRELAND’ CRY MENACES BRITAIN'S HOLD ~ \ Combined Free State and Northern Counties Could Create Independence. By United Press LONDON, Marca 18—A united Ireland under Eamon de Valera was pictured today as result of recent statements of the Irish republican leader. Such an objective is considered

more Important than republican aims to eliminate allegiance to the British crown, or retain the land annuities paid to Britain. De Valera’s well-timed remarks in his first interview with foreign correspondents regarding the inevitable removal of an “unnatural boundary,” and the veiled threat that it might be necessary to establish rigid trade barriers to protect new Free State industries were interpreted as a preliminary move to combine northern Ireland with the Free State. A unified Ireland would be twice

Donegal and Monaghan, and the provinces of Leinster, Munster and Connaught belong to the Free State.
