Wins Priority Rating For months manufacturers of ‘gasoline motors for model planes have been trying to obtain priority ratings so they could ‘buy/the materials for making engines. Well, at last we have indications that the days ahead may not be as dark as some of us have feared. Just recently officials of the Cannon Manufacturing Co., |of Gleveland, announced that they have been assigned a priority number and a fairly good one, enabling them to buy steel for crankshafts, pistons and cylinders. If will guarantee production of these motors for a long time, since the company has a large reserve stock of aluminum and other metals used in the metor. The Cannon is almost entirely aluminum, the cylinder, head and base all being cast from the light metal. A steel] sleeve lines the cylinder to insure long life, and any motor may completely renewed by inserting a new sleeve—should the original scored or damaged ‘in any way. The Cannon company is a member of the Model Industry Association, which has been working to obtain priorities for motor builders for nearly a year. With this in ‘mind and the fact that the firm has achieved | a favorable priority number it would be almost safe to assume that the industry as a ‘whole will be| taken care of during the emergence ,

Beat the Ponies But Not Police

(NEW YORK, Nov. 27. (U. P.). Police said today that Ralph Layman had the only sure fire method of beating the horses. The trouble was he had no -way of beating the police. So Layman appeared in the lineup charged with being thespearhead of an ingenious and moneyed Broadway mob. According to police he worked this way: He would set up a complete printing shop inside of a truck and park it near a racetrack. A mutuel ticket from the track would be rushed to him. He would copy it, fill in the flashed number of a winning horse and a confederate would hurry back to cash the ticket.

Timekeeper at U. S. Plant Says Many Relatives - Were on Payroll.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 (U. P.). —The Senate Investigating Committee was -told yesterday that the hiring of relatives. on construction of a government ordnance plant in Tennessee went so far as to i a job of “killing flies” for the father of the chief timekeeper. The testimony came . from ‘the timekeeper, Leo B. Helzel, who was hired by the Army. Quartermaster Corps during the building of the Wolf Ordnance plant. Previously, the committee heard

# another witness state that the Gov-

ernment paid $1448 and $1393 for automobiles used at Wolf Creek, a though the cars were priced on at $1055. The witness was Theodore D. . Thomas, Army quartermaster field auditor at the project. Mr. Helzel described conditions in his office when he took over from his predecessor, Joseph McCarren. He said that Mr. McCarren’s wife was working as a $35 a week stenographer under “her maiden or an as-

sumed name.

That's Being Candid

‘He added that the ‘constructing quartermaster, Maj. Paul M. Brewer, had a sister-in-law working on

§ the job also.

The witness said that Oscar E. Miller, personnel director on the project, had a brother, a sister-in-law and an uncle on the payroll. Mr. Helzel sat back and studied the committee for a moment, and he added: “My hands are not entirely clean either. My father was working on the job at 65 cents an hour. “They had more jobs that were not - warranted, including my father's. His principal job in the rubber boot sterilization department was killing flies. That's being honest and candid with you.”

TEXAS CLAIMS STRIP OF LOUISIANA LAND

AUSTIN, Tex., Nov. 27. (U. P.).— Backed by century-old maps, Texas Land Commissioner Bascom Giles today asserted the state’s claim to a 70-mile strip, 150 feet wide, within the present Louisiana boundary and comprising 1300 acres in parts of four oil fields. Mr. Giles certified Texas’ claim te U. S. Senators Tom Connally and W. Lee O’Daniel, supporting it with treaty maps between the republic of Texas and the United States in 1838 and a map based upon an 1848 donation by Congress to the state of Texas, which entered the union in 1845. The strip which Texas claims is adjacent to the present boundary from Joaquin, Tex. — opposite Logansport, La.—northward to the Louisiana-Arkansas boundary. It passes through the heart of the rich Rodessa oil field and includes Waskom and Caddo fields. Value of the property was not estimated. Gov. Sam Houston Jones of Louisiana has announced that his state would not cede territory to Texas willingly. He said Louisiana would claif instead a segment of Texas.
