CALM REIGNS ON SURFACE IN GERMANY Traveler Sees Farmers Going About Duties, Women Washing. LITTLE SIGN OF STRIFE Crosses Country Without Sight of Brown Shirts, Until Berlin Arrival. Clifford Dav. for roanv years a m'-m----ber of the London staff of the United Press, arrived In Berlin today from London. He has cabled back the story of what he saw as he traveled from London to Berlin a picture of present dav Germany as se-n by the observant traveler. BY CLIFFORD DAY United Tress Staff Correspondent ICoovriaht. 1933. bv United Press) BERLIN, March 28.—1 t is seeding time in Germany and yesterday being Monday, it was wash day. Those are the chief impressions of the 300-mile journey across northern Germany from London which I just have completed. Fellow travelers commented that perhaps these twin observations symbolize the far-reaching political regeneration evidently occurring throughout the country. The government, they point out, is washing out what it deems unfabled in the present-day Germany and is sowing the seeds of anew fatherland. As I saw it —as any other traveler visiting Germany first sees it —from the windows of a fast moving train, the country appeared unchanged from the Germany I last entered exactly a decade ago. Officials Are Polite A night-long boat trip and a morning-long train trip brought me to Bentheim. where we passed through the German customs. The German frontier officials were exceedingly courteous, their examination of travelers most polite. They thoughtfully reminded us that it was possible to bring in as much foreign currency as we desired and to take out the same amount on leaving if a certificate is obtained immediately. Otherwise, they explained, we could take out only 200 marks. From the frontier onward into Germany everywhere there were typical evidences of every-day life. First there were the miles of lines upon which Monday’s washing dried in the brilliant sunshine. Then there was the usual early morning airing of mattresses outside of dwellings. Third, we noticed farmhands, including many women, laboriously ploughing and sowing thousands of acres of fields and gardens. War Veterans on Chairs East of Asnabrueck, two uniformed, invalid war veterans were rolling in wheel chairs down the country road. It reminded us that Germany, too, still has thousands of ex-soldiers suffering from war's horrors. West of Minden and Stadlhagen and elsewhere along the Rhine, oldfashioned windmills turned slowly in the breeze. As the train swung into Hanover, it was noticeable tnat the majority of the bristling nests of factory chimneys thereabouts were smokeless —awaiting prosperity and the alleviation of unemployment. Functionaries on my train said that there had been no unusual exodus noticeable on the Berlin expresses to the west during the last week. Sees Reichstag Ruin Steaming finally into Friederiehstrasse station in Berlin, we saw the remnants of the great hulk of the reichstag dome, looming within a stone's throw of us, daylight clearly visible through the huge holes left, by the recent fire. Strangely enough, not until Berlin was reached did I see one of the often-mentioned brown shirts—Hitler's storm troops—and then only occasional ones strolling along the streets.

DAY OF LEAN LADY IS ENDED

Curves Are Back and Famous Artist Is Glad of It

BY DOUGLAS GILBERT Times Special Writer NEW YORK. March 28.—The girl with the Fisher body made a lot of money for McClelland Barclay. You probably remember her—a lean little lady, very swell, very swanky and a little snooty. She was his million dollar baby. Today she isn’t worth a dime. Outmoded. For the chart of feminine beauty has taken a sharp curve. Take it from Barclay, the girl of today has a figger, not a figure. Poundage is no longer a bar to pulchritude. He’s fattened up his Fisher girl, given her honest weight as a flesh and blcod miss. Beauty that is feminine. “It's the only type of beauty that excites me,” said Barclay, characterizing the new trend in popular art. “Remember the so-called boyish form? Well, it’s definitely out. It’s out because it represents a type that was humanly false. Whether you like it or not, girls do have legs and thighs and torsos that in their natural state are beautiful.” a e a BARCLAY looked around his studio. Nobody denied his contention, and he continued: “I think our girls made a great mistake when they adopted the fiat-chested, hipless figure. They nearly ruined their own in doing so. Probably aping the fashion drawings. I don’t see any smartness in trying to look like a board. Making yourself a hanger for a gown. Me? I never drew such figures. I had to keep my Fisher girl in style, but even she had form. “I’m glad to see the new type, the type of well-rounded physique, of natural wholcsomeness and alluring femininity, come back. “And with all modesty I believe myself and my colleagues in adhering to these natural lines have had some share infringing about the change.” Here is his own characterization of the Barclay American girl—l 933 model: “First she is wholesome. She typifies no class distinction. She's an average, a regular girl. A combination of so-called eastern smartness with what you might call west coast activity. She knows her way about. She’s at home at the opera or in any drawing room. She can slap a tennis ball around. She hikes and camps and swims. tt a a SHE’s healthy. The type of girl I am drawing is a character of refinement, but never is highhat to the lifted eyebrow stage. She has modest charm. She has allure and desirability—but she’s no pushover for the entire senior class. “And these are qualities and characteristics the average girl possesses or can readily acquire.” The girls themselves —bless ’em —have done their share to accomplish their own rejuvenation, in the opinion of Barclay. Although, as he also admits, some part of their present decorum, the new mode of better manners, they have had to adopt as sociologically expedient. “The flappers simply found out that their antics served only as a diversion for their boy friends,” Barclay explained. “But a man

HIGH POLICE HEATING COSTS ARE PROBED Leak Is Likely, Suggestion of Engineer. Cost of heating police headquarters is nearly as great as cost of heating the Circle Tower building, it was revealed today when reports were submitted to the safety board by S. E. Fenstermaker, an engineer. following an inquiry sought by Chief Mike Morrissey. Headquarters has 7,000 square feet of heating space, against 23,000 in the otheer building, but the respective bills annually are $4,223 and $4,325. Heat is provided both by Indianapolis Power and Light Company. The rate for headquarters is 60 cents a square foot per year and the rate for the Circle Tower building. 18’- cents. Fenstermaker said the headquarters heating should not cost more than $1,300 a year, and suggested that a leak in equipment is the cause of the high cost. Further study of the situation will be made.

Four Factors Will ‘Make or Break’ Your Garden

This is the first of a series of articles on vegetable gardening. BY \\. R. BEATTIE Bureau of Plant Industry. United States Department of Agriculture. WE'RE off to another season in home gardening, and this series of garden articles is intended to help gardeners get the most out of their gardens this season. Under present business and employment conditions. It is evident that

gardens will be very much in demand this year as a means of providing plenty of fresh vegetables for many families. Every farsighted gardener will keep two points in mind this year it does not pay to garden on poor land, and it does not pay to plant a garden and then neglect it.

Alaska Fliers, Unsung Heroes, Defy Death on Mercy Errands

Alaska is one of the largest and least known territories of North America. Many acts of heroism are enacted there and little is known of these exploits. This series of stories deals with the flying heroes. Information was gathered by actual conversation with several Alaskan fliers. BY ART HENDERSON United Press Staff Correspondent SEATTLE. Wash., March 28. Daring Alaska fliers risk their lives daily in weather most aviators would not attempt to fly in. Flying airplanes in 35 to 60 degrees below zero, ferrying food, making emergency flights, bringing sick and dying out of the north and rushing diphtheria toxin to dying Eskimos, are some of the duties the fliers perform. Revenues of fliers and the companies that employ them are derived from flying tourist passengers, ferrying miners from towns to their claims, and transporting foodstuffs into the hills. Miners pay well. Around Ketchikan and vicinity, they pay from $35 to S6O an hour. The farther north one goes, the more money he pays.

Around Nome and Point Barrow, miners pay SIOO an hour. Open cockpit planes have been replaced almost exclusively by cabin ships. Gold transportation from mines, far back in the mountains, to larger Alaskan cities mostly is done by plane. Ancil Eckmann, 35. with about ten years of flying experience and a former ensign in the naval flying corps, flew two prospectors, with food and equipment and a pet dog, into the wastes beyond Juneau. He left his passengers and received orders to return for them later. The men lost their food. When Eckmann returned, he found one dead and the other nearly unconscious from hunger and exhaustion. The pilot loaded the man into the plane and went after the dog! It was all Eckmann could do to put him into the ship. He returned to Juneau and the man recovered.

We have reached a point in our gardening where it is absolutely necessary to protect practically every crop that we grow from the depredations of insects, and no sooner do we get a crop planted and the plants come up than the insects are on the scene. Poisons annd other exterminators must be provided almost as soon as the seeds are planted, in fact, in some cases, the onion magot, for example, the remedy must be applied almost as soon as the first plants appear. o tt tt PLANT diseases also are on the job as soon as we plant our crops.

BANK COVERUP POLICY ENDED BY ROOSEVELT President Demands Speedy Action on Financial Irregularities. HERALDS BIG SHAKEUP Thorough Inquiry Forecast Into Prosecution Delay in Harriman Case. BY RAY TUCKER Times Special Writer WASHINGTON. March 28—President Roosevelt holds that banking irregularities discovered by national examiners or conservators in charge of suspended institutions should be reported immediately to the proper i federal authorities for prosecution. In announcing this policy on be- ! half of the administration, William I H. Woodin, secretary of the trcas- : ury, said that "the President did not ! believe it to be incompatible with the best public interest, nor is it believed that taking prompt action in such matters work to the detriment of any sound banking institution.” Fear of aggravating a disturbed banking situation is the explanation given by Hoover officials for nonaction. Coverup Is Revealed The announcement was prompted by the disclosure that, the treasury, comptroller, and department of justice under the Hoover regime had delayed for nine months prosecution .of Joseph W. Harriman. former president of the closed Harriman National Bank and Trust Company of New York, for alleged falsification of accounts. He now' is under indictment. At-torney-General Homer Cummings has held the delay was justified. The Hoover administration also took no action against Charles E. Mitchell, former president of the National City bank of New York, after he testified to income tax transactions w'hich now are the basis of an indictment against him. It was not until the statute of limitations was w'ithin two weeks of operating to stop prosecution that this international financier was indicted, at, the Roosevelt administration’s prompting, for alleged failure to pay $573,000 in income taxes for 1929. May Bring Cleanup The Roosevelt policy may point to a great turnover of personnel in all these departments, including the bureau of internal revenue. Although higher-up holdovers from the Hoover administration probably will be replaced in any event, the White House dissatisfaction with the practices of delay and laxity may mean that attorneys? accountants, examiners, and others in actual charge of detailed work may be let out. The explanation by Hoover officials for their failure to act against Harriman is that news of indictment of such an important financial figure at the time further would have upset the banking world. It was on this plea that Acting Controller F. G. Aw'alt and department of justice representatives agreed to a delay, and restrained George Z. Medalie, United States attorney at New York, from going ahead. He acted within twenty-four hours after the Roosevelt administration notified him to prosecute. Both Cummings and Await since have declared that the delay was justified [ under the delicate condition of tha New' York banking situation. Inquiries Are Pushed Meanwhile, two investigations resulting from these and alleged treasury irregularities seem assured on Capitol Hill. Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for the senate banking and currency committee, may return here today after examination of New York records in the Harriman affair. He was requested to determine the need for an inquiry by Chairman Duncan U. Fletcher (Dem., Fla.) of the committee. Senator Burton K Wheeler (Dem., Mont.) has introduced a resolution for a justice department inquiry into charges that Andrew W Mellon and Ogden L. Mills, who headed the treasury under the Hoover administration, illegally failed to collect hundreds of millions in taxes from foreign steamship companies. This allegation has been made by David A. Olson, former employe of the banking and currency committee, who also has brought suit other treasury and internal revenue against Messrs. Mellon, Mills and officials. Senator Wheeler also is planning to propose a senate investigation of the situation. Accuses Mellons Olson resigned as investigator for the committee last February, alleging that he had been blocked in his duties, and placing the responsibility upon Chairman Norbeck. His first suit accused Andrew w. Mellon, Ogden L. Mills, Arthur A. Ballantine, David H. Blair, and Alexander w! Gregg, all former treasury officials.’ with having permitted 120 foreign steamship companies to escape income tax payments of $100,000,000 and with having allowed them a refund of $10,000,000, contrary to law. Double damages were demanded" amounting to $220,000,000. The second action alleged that W. L. Mellon, nephew of former Secretary' A. W. Mellon, and six associate executives of the Gulf Oil corporation, of Pittsburgh, had been enabled to escape payment of more than $5,000,000 in income taxes. NOLAN GETS U. S.
