HOOVER GETS 9 NEW CARS AT WHITE HOUSE / Spick, Span Late Models Exchanged Without Cost to U. S. By United Press WASHINGTON, April B.—The annual spring shipment of new limousines for the White House arrived this week on the heels of the j President's appeal to the country to i buy automobiles. Spick and span, these last-minute models with the Wihte House crest on their doors have brightened up the atmosphere around the old mansion. They were exchanged for the old. models at no cost to the government. The motor car manufacturers themselves replace the White House fleet every year. Nine motor cars regularly are assigned to the White House. Each i is operated under contract with the company that makes the machine. The government pays so much a year—the amount was not divulged ! —for the use of the car. ‘None of the machines is owned by the White House,” a member of the presidential secretariat said. “They are replaced each spring, and the White House does not buy them.” The makes assigned to the use of! President and Mrs. Hoover and others at the White House include Pierce Arrows, Lincoln and Cadillacs. I One is assigned to each of the ■ President’s three secretaries. The President has one, Mrs. Hoover has one, and the others are “guest cars.” In addition, there are two trucks used for various purposes. The eleven chauffeurs are paid for out of the transportation fund. “The motor car companies themselves favor the annual exchange,” an attache said. “They do not want a last-year’s model of their machine to be seen in use by the President or bearing the White House official crest. It works out satisfactorily and economically all around." Poland has a road program call-j ing for construction of 2,400 miles at a cost of $45,000,000.

Although bound for the difficult and grim task of defending the four principals in Hawaii’s “honor murder,” Clarence Darrow, famous attorney and liberal, bowed to island custom when he reached Honolulu and allowed festive natives to bedeck him with the proverbial lei. He is shown above on arrival in, for him, an unusual array. During the trial he is pressing the honor issue in defending Lieutenant Thomas Massie, U. S. N., and three others accused of slaying a man charged with attacking Mrs. Massie. MINE BOYS HURT OFTEN One of Every Seven in Pennsylvania Suffered Accidents in Year. liy United Press HARRISBURG.

NUDISM GROWS AS U. S. FAD, SAYS NEW DOOR 'Old Barriers of Moral Prejudice Lowered,’ Assert Authors. BY H. ALLEN SMITH United Presi Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, April B.—The practice of organized nudism is spreading rapidly in the United States as old barriers of moral prejudice are lowered, according to Frances and Mason Merrill, writing in a book called “Nudism Comes to America,” published today by Alfred A. Nopf. New York state, and especially New York City, harbors "the most nudists, with New Jersey second. California is third; Connecticut, fourth; Massachusetts, fifth, and Illinois, sixth, according to Mr. and Mrs. Merrill. “There is no accounting for the fact,” they write, “that more of our nudists are in Boston that in Los Angeles or San Francisco, or indeed than are in Chicago. The American nudist may speak with a nasal twang, a consonantless drawl, or a harsh burr.” The oldest and largest nudist club, the authors say, is the American League for Physical Culture of New York, organized in 1929. It has a membership of nearly 200

men and women with a waiting list of nearly 100 more. This group maintain* a gymnasium in Manhattan where, during the winter months, its members meet several times a week to discard their clothing and engage in calisthenics, games and swimming. In the summer the league's activities are centered at a farm in northern New Jersey. There are hundreds of smaUer groups, the authors write, and one of these, in the West Seventies of New York, is typical. These nudists include four families, who occupy penthouses atop a large apartment bdilding, thereby having exclusive use of the roof. The adults as well as the children “go starko” all the time they are at home. “A much more rudimentary but commoner form of nudism in America today,” the book states, “is a growing practice on the part of families privately. Os late years a rapidly increasing number of par- j ents have made complete nakedness j a habit with their children, in the j privacy of their homes, not so j much on account of the physical | benefits p.s on account of the edu- j cational effect upon their offspring. “Modern, progressive educational theory demands a greater frankness j than formerly in all matters relat- 1 ing to sex, and many psychologists have pointed out the value of unembarrassed nudity on the part of j parents as a means of saving their children from prurient-minded | curiosity and shame regarding the human body.” The authors have made a survey ; of nudists, selecting 200 men and women who practice it in an effort to determine “who are the nudists?” j Os these 200, seven are Canadians j and the. other 193 reside in twenty- ; one different states.
