which was demonstrated and flight-

| tested at the Municipal Airport last

month, received favorable, but cau-

| tious criticism in two of the nation’s

leading aviation periodicals this month. - Don Fink, radio editor of Aviation, said he is “convinced that the system actually performs according to claims. It appears that the long awaited day when blind landing procedures are to become a matter of routine, is soon to arrive.”.

Hails Newest Step

Henry Roberts, radio |editor of Aero Digest, who inspected the Government system here with Mr. Fink, had this 4o say: “It can safely be said that the

| Indianapolis installation represents

the most advanced

instrument landing system today.

The next

| step, the acquisition and installa-

tion of the first lot of 10 instru-ment-landing systems, is/ the forerunner of the standardized nationwide instrument-landing| network.” The system, constructed by the International Telephone Development Co., by contract with the CAA, was demonstrated before members of the Radio Technical Committee for Aeronautics which recommended the installation of the system at 25 other airports, 10 immediately. -Design specifications for 10 new systems are being written now.

Calls Practice Debatable

Mr. Roberts warned that “despite these reassuring performances (of the system) the wisdom or the necessity of making such totally blind landings in routine operations with passengers on board is as yet 8 highly debatable matter.” However, he pointed out that the ITDC-CAA system installed here is capable of providing the pilot with the radio guidance necessary to making a fully controlled instrument landing without any visible

at the tinuing to make daily tests of the system here with CAA's own test pilots. » » 2 Col. Roscoe Turner, who decided to clip his own racing wings to teach fledglings, hopes to get Federal funds for his projected air college at the Municipal Airport here. Although he does not need Federal money to aid in the establishment of the school and [the hangar to house it, Col. Turner| is believed to be counting on. a share of the large Government contracts being awarded to air sthools as a stimulant to the Government's [civilian flying training program. Only details in local contract negotiations, including transfer of assets, remain to be ironed out before concluding the purchase by the speed flier of the Central Aeronautical Corp..

Contract Brings Delay

Attorneys for both parties said today that the purchase had been agreed upon and final details would be completed within two weeks. - It was the iron-clad contract of Central with the City, involving exclusive gasoline sale and plane service rights, that has held up establishment of the Turner school. The Turner school is to! include an approved airplane motor service and repair shop of the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft C6. This proposed repair. station will be the first to be established at the Municipal Airport. " : When plans for the school are completed and training under way at a standard satisfactory to the Government, Col. Turner believes he will have little trouble in getting Federal money. » » 2

The Government’s desire to help air colleges results from realization of Civil Aeronautics and the War Department that there are too few air schools teaching advanced aviation subjects to fill the gap between the primary flying training schools and the Government's highly advanced - military aviation training centers. It is pointed out that the training of civilian pilots is in fact<4he training of military aviation reserves. The Parks Air College, East St. Youis, recently received a $750,000 Government contract to pay for study materials and supplies. The Parks School, one of the leading air educational centers in the country, will be one of Col. Turner's competitors, if plans work out. ~~ It has been reported that one of Col. Turner's backers in his proposed $200,000 project, is Wallace Beery, of Hollywood screen fame,

Meredith Nicholson, U. S. minister to Nicaragua, was back home today for the particular purpose, he said, of eating “enormous quantities” of cottage cheese. He flatly refused 4ny comment on political or European affairs. The Hoosier: author and diplomat arrived by plane from Managua late yesterday for his first vist in more than two .and half years. He was greeted by members of his family. “It’s cold up here, I just left the tropics,” was his first remark after greetings. “Are there any oysters here yet?” “I am out of international politics, national politics and all kinds of politics for a vacation so please don’t ask me any questions involving them,” Mr. Nicholson said. “I want {o show you something I brought up.” . After rummaging through a piece of airplane luggage, he said “hot dog, here it is” and exhibited a long machete, a native Nicaraguan sugar

Mr. Nicholson said he likes the Managua post, the third diplomatic assignment he has had since 1933, and likes the food, too. : “But the food is different,” he said. “I'll tell you why I came back. First to renew myself at the old Hoosier fountain and there is a kind of bean—cornfield bean—up here, the kind that is shelied out. I want to eat some of those and enormous quantities of cottage cheese.” The length of Mr. Nicholson's stay here “depends upon how long they let me hang around.” He said he will go to Washington to report on Central American and Nicaraguan eondition. At this peint of the interview, he pardoned himself to ¢hange from his tropical suit to one dictated by Indianapolis temperatures. :

Hoosiers in Washington—

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY - Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 14—Two Hoosier girls—Dorothy Detzer and Florence Kirlin—have leading be-hind-the-scenes roles in the neutrality fight . which now occupies the center of the stage here. They disagree so violently on what should be done about it that no one would be surprised if they met in the Capitol corridor and staged a hair-pulling match. For although Miss Detzer, as executive director of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, long has carried the pacifist label, she is one of the hardest fighters in the whole history of congressional lobbying. Miss Kirlin is equally as persistent and effective as a lobbyist for the National League of Women Voters. : ” 8 » Miss Detzer’s organization has joined with those so-called “peace groups” who want the munitions embargo retained and cash-and-carry applied to the sale of all other merchandise to belligerents. While the League of Women Voters is on record as backing President Roosevelt and the Administration bill, which would lift the arms embargo and put all products sold belligerents on a 90-day-credit basis. - » td ” Having lost a brother in the World War, Miss Detzer, who was a resident social worker at Hull House under the late Jane Addams, became one of America’s most militant. pacifists. To her persistent efforts largely is credited the Senate munitions investigation of several years ago, which convinced its chairman, Sen ator Gerald P. Nye (RN. D.), that munition makers’ profits are one of the principal causes of warfare today. Senator Nye is standing on the Detzer platform, so far as Neutrality law changes are concerned, and broadcasting his views at every opportunity both in and out of the Senate Chamber. ’ An Indiana University graduate, Miss Kirlin took an active part-in managing women’s projects under such early New Deal agencies as FERA and CWA. She had an office at the Indiana State House under Lv : « .

‘Behind Scenes’

Movie Decides Slayer’s Doom

HOLLYWOOD, Oct. 14 (U. P)). —Murderer De Witt Clint Cook’s one vainglorious moment under the klieg lights and movie camera lens sealed his doom, the jury that convicted him said today. He had, with the braggadocio of. a small town criminal cast suddenly into the big-time, played the role of killer on the Los Angeles City College campus while police sound cameras ground away. And he had turned to the microphone and said, after flailing the head of a young woman actress. with a rolled: newspaper simulating a club: “That’s the way I did it, and then I ran.” His victim was beautiful Anya Sosoyeva, onetime Follies dancer. The record of his unusual confession was flashed on the wall-of his trial courtroom. : . The jury deliberated 40 minutes, then announced a verdict of guilty without recommendation of mercy. The death sentence is mandatory.

WPA ROLLS

LOWEST POINT IN THO YEARS

Industrial Pickup, Forced Layoffs Reason; 5000 ~~ ToBe Added.

A State-wide industrial pickup and layoffs due to the new Relief Act’s 18-month clause have reduced Indiana WPA rolls to 46,251, the lowest point since October, 1937, the

ported today. However approximately 5000 per-

nized Unemployment - Relief Commission are to be added to the rolls in a few weeks. ? The October, 1937, low was 39,292. One year later, in October, 1938, the rolls reached the WPA’s all-time peak in Indiana—98,802.

Applicants Are Interviewed

With the addition of the 5000 workers, the State's rolls will still be about 9500 below the October quota of 59,800. The inability of the WPA to realize its quota this month, according to officials, was due to the necessity of reorganizing the Unemployment Relief Commission, the State WPA certifying agency. About 280 visitors are interviewing applicants on their eligibility. About 30,000 workers laid off in July ‘and August under the 18month clause are now eligible for WPA re-employment if they have not found jobs in private industry. Eventually, they will be re-employed until the October quota is filled. Better industrial conditions have accounted for at least 3691 workers being re-employed in Indiana industry since July. About 325 have voluntarily left the rolls to go to work for private firms in Marion Couty, according to WPA surveys. WPA surveys show: In Lake County,-the upswing in steel is continuing to take men off WPA. Porter County industry is gaining while the Studebaker plant in St. Joseph County has absorbed most of the skilled WPA workers there. ~ .

Skilled Workers Hired

Other industrial centers, Ft. Wayne, Muncie, New Castle, Richmond, Marion and Huntington, are experiencing better buisness conditions as indicated by the drain of skilled workers from the WPA rolls and some employment of. semiskilled workers. Marion County industries have absorbed virtually all the skilled workers that were on WPA last spring. v In Southern Indiana, conditions are different. The canneries have released thousands of workers, officials say, and these have sought reemployment on WPA. Vermillion County, hard-hit by the slack in coal mining, is beginning to pick up now, but still bears one of the heaviest WPA"loads in proportion to population. Industries at Evansville have lightened the load in Vanderburgh County where the WPA rolls were heavy last winter.

ABC PRACTICE

Administration’s Course Believed Result of Rising Dry Tide.

By NOBLE REED

The State Administration is laying a groundwork of strategy to

clear of an impending wet and dry fight in the next Legislature. Out of a series of conferences between Governor M. Clifford Townsend and the Alcoholic Beverage Commission has blossomed a local option policy in the handling of liquor permits in an effort to stem a rising tide of dry presure. They are taking the “middle of the road” course. The most recent example was the rejection this week of an application for renewal of -a tavern permit at Dunreith, Ind, where half the voting population demanded a dry community. Angling for support from the drys, the Administration announced recently that it is “giving the State local liquor option” by permitting residents of communities to determine where beer taverns shall operate. More than 100 communities in the State have no beer taverns as the result of this policy, Hugh A. Barnhart, State Excise Administrator, said.

tJ » ” . Three weeks ago amid the fanfare of 20 bands and 13 elephants, Homer E. Capehart of Washington, Ind. the financial “angel” of the Republican Party, was launched as the Indiana “favorite son” for the G. O. P. Presidential nomination, ) Thousands cheered the indorsement and speakers extolled the qualities of the manufacturer for the Presidency. Since that day not one word has been said publicly by the Republican leaders about Mr. Capehart’s candidacy. And many voters have asked about it.

t 4 ” 2 If the staging of rally meetings over the State is any indication of a party’s voting strength, the Democrats are far out in front. During the remaining two weeks of October State Chairman Fred F. Bays will conduct nine meetings in that many counties while the Republicans have scheduled only one next week when the women of the State Committee will convene. The Democrats have held more than 90 county rallies since June 1 whiie the Republicans have held less than half that number.

2 ” ” The field of Democratic candidates for Congress in the Tenth District has been narrowed down by the announcement of .Mrs. Emery Schoff of Connersville, that she “does not. choose to run under any circumstances.” . This “leaves the field open to Judge Claude Ball of Muncie and Samuel Traube of Rushville, former Public Service” Commission member. Raymond Springer, Connersville, twice the Republican nominee for Governor, was elected to Congress from that district last year in a political “upset.”

» ” o The organization of Young Democratic Clubs in the United States for the McNutt-for-Presi-dent campaign was started here this week by State Senator J. Patrick Beacon of West Virginia. Mr. Beoe con will start a tour of 11 southern and western states next week to organize support for Mr. McNutt among young Democrats.

No Harm Done To Cranberries

BOSTON, Oct. 14 (U. P)— Even if many Americans celebrate two Thanksgivings — the traditional Nov. 30 and President Roosevelt's Nov. 23—there’ll be plenty of cranberries to go around. ; Massachusetts growers, who supply the bulk of the nation’s cranberries, predicted today the 1939 crop will be 12 per cent - greater than the bumper crop anticipated a month ago. The outlook is for 450,000 barrels, 38.5 per cent above 1938 and 103 per cent above the ten-year average.

0. , APPEAL “AS VITAL MOVE

Future Weight of President's Peace Power Believed In Balance.

By LUDWELL DENNY Times Special Water WASHINGTON, Oct. - 14 —President Ropsevelt’s intervention. in Moscow on behalf of Finland is considered here his most delicate and momentous diplomatic move since the war began. It is seen as a daring gamble for eventual ; European peace. if he loses he will be accused by some of involving the United States. If he wins he will be looked to at home and abroad as the natural peacemaker for Eitope, . or important Mr. Denny as the RussianFinnish situation is in itself, the larger issue is Russia’s future policy toward German supremacy in Western Europe and Russia's attitude toward President Roosevelt as a possible peacemaker. Joseph Stalin today is top dog. He has taken the bones Herr Hitler -. wanted in Eastern Poland and the Baltic. He has blocked Herr Hit~ ler from Rumania and Southeast ern Europe. More important, Mr. Stalin can make or break Feuhrer Hitler in the war with Britain and France. Difference in Attitude

That is why Mr. Chamberlain’ and. M. Daladier, who hate M. Stalin more than Herr Hitler and who at Munich made their illfated deal with Herr Hitler, now are trying to deal with the Soviet leader. They hate him no less, but they need him more, So whatever else may be the mystery of Allied strategy in this war of more words than bullets, the first aim is clear—to keep M. Stalin out of the war. The second is to keep Benito Mussolini out of the

war. Herr Hitler fighting alone will lose. Germany fighting along side Russia &nd Italy probably would win. ; »o That is where Mr. Roosevelt comes in. He hates Hitlerism and he hates war. If Russia. fights - Finland she may come into the western war through conflict with Scandinavia and Britain.” Then the Rooseveltian hope of a peace not dictated by Herr Hitler would be out the window.

‘Peace Basis at Hand

The President's gamble with M. Stalin is based on the assumption that he would prefer not to fight. If M. Stalin allows himself to be influenced by the President’s “earnest hope”—not a “demand,” mind you—that nothing will occur “to effect injuriously the peaceful relations” of Russia and Finland, there will be a natural basis for future Roosevelt-Stalin co-operation for peace. The Allies would welcome such a setup. But if M. Stalin scorns the Roose=~ velt plea now and fights Finland, he will destroy much of ‘the President’s potential power as a future peacemaker. :
