* JORKST DEFENDS " LORDON SENTENCE ‘Magistrate Declares His Ac- tion Right in Sending Wom- an to Reformatory. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 10.—While the search for her slayers went forward, the road that Vivian Gordon trod’ to the reformatory in 1923 was illuminated for the first time today. In the latest of Referce Samuel Sea- bury’s inquisitions into the megistrates’ courts, Mypistrate H. Stanley Renaud defended nis_action in sentencing the then Benita Bischoff for an indetermi- nate term and said he would do it again—even though she was a first offender and was convicted on the un- supported testimony of one vice squad patrolman. Is a Wonderful School. “She was sent to Bedford, perhaps, because 1t is one of the Lest schools in the country,” he said yesterday. “If they took off the ‘reformatory’ name, it would be full of girls coming in there of their own volition. It is a wonderful school.” After Renaud testified that she re- fused to reveal her background he was asked by counsel if possible reluctance to disgrace her family was sufficient reason for_denying her probation. “If she had made an error,” he Te- plied, “that was the best place for her to learn the error of her ways and be trained in the proper method of life— & wonderful school.” Elimination Process. ‘While witnesses still were parading before the grand jury, District Attorney Charles B, McLaughlin of the Bronx sald he had made “definite progress” in the solution of the Broadway courte- st strangling. “I feel much better about the case | this week,” he sald, “we have elimi- | nated many crazy theories. We are now going through a real elimination process.” EUROPE URGED TO END ALL ARMED ENTENTES $harp Terms of Some Pacts Breed Feeling of Insecurity, Rome Deputy Says. 87 the Associated Press. ROME, March 10.—Dissolution of all armed alliances in Europe was urged today by Gaetano Polverelli, presenting the 1931 budget in the Chamber of Deputies. “Europe,” he said, “has three funda- mental civilizations—French, Italian and German—all of which have the right to live on a plane of moral parity. To conciliate them is a highly meri- torious work.” Praising Italy’s part in the recent naval accord with France and England, the deputy emphasized the importance to peace of uniting ell national in- ts. “To exclude any one would be a mis- take” he said. “To unite two against a third would militate against the in- terests of peace. The sharp terms of some treaties, the weight of indemni- ties and war debts, the division of Eu- rope into armed and unarmed natio and the reconstruction of military al- liances have long held Europe agitated in a feeling of insecurity. “Profound unrest remains and many steps must vet be taken for efiective rapprochement among the peoples of this continen 14 STRANDED ON FLOE IN BALTIC SEA SAVED Fishermen Swept Adrift After Tak- ing Food to Ice-Bound Ship 20 Miles Offshore. By Cable to The Star. RIGA, Latvia, March 10.—A change of wind has finally saved from death | by exposure and starvation 14 adven- turous fishermen who were caught on an ice floe after carrying food to the crews of ships held in the Baltic ice. ‘The wind drove the exhausted fisher- men ashore. ‘The Latvian ice breaker Krisjans Val- demars, which for 17 days has been attempting to force its way through three-fathom thick ice jams in the Bal- tic Sea, and a caravan of freighters following the ice breaker, ran short of food. Fishermen from the coast, in & 20-mile dash, successfully supplied food to the embattled crews, but, re- turning shoreward, were caught in a blizzard which drove them on an ice floe over the shallows along the coast.

PEORIA, Ill, March 10.—The loco- motive snorted a last discouraged snort, buried its nose a little deeper in the snowbank and gave up, wheezing. Back in the coaches card games palled. The March blizzard swirled around the stalled cars. Passengers began to shiver. ‘Then Hervert Suchert climbed aboard. He had tramped over from Tremont, nearby, to offer the marooned travelers “something to keep you warm.” Giving it away? Oh, no. A couple of pas- sengers bought a bottle, then they showed their Government credentials, end trudged out through the snow- drifts and the storm to deliver Suchert to the Tremont City marshal.

By the Associated Press. LONG BEACH MUNICIPAL AIR- PORT, March 10.—Capt. Ira Eaker, noted Army pilot, hopped off here at 243 am, Pacific standard time, today for the Atlantic Coast on a non-stop flight to test his Army transport air- plane, He said emphatically he would not attempt to better the transconti- nental flight record. Two previous attempts to get off the ground failed when ‘the ship veered to the right under the heavy load of gaso- line, threatening to carry Eaker into nearby hangars. He solved his difficulty by forcing more weight on the rigid tail wheel and shot straight away into the night. “Iam carrying 486 gallons of gasoline,” he said, “and I am going to fly just as far as that will take me. Maybe I will get to Dayton, Ohio, or I migit get as far as Washington. There is an ex- tremely slight possibility that I might {get as far as New York. " Gas Use to Be Checked. “Under no circumstances ar: I going to try for anybody’s record. The pur- pose of the flight is to test the high speed of this transport airplane. We are trying to find a ship thot will be able to keep up with pursuit airplanes. We have no planes that arec capable of doing this now. “On this flight we will check the con- sumption of gasoline, the performance of -the motor, what high speed it is capable of attaining and the perform- ance of the ship as a whole. After the flight the ship will be returned to Rock- well Field, San Diego.” Capt. Eaker, who was a member of the crew of the Army olane Question Mark, when that ship established a] world refueling endurance flight record | over Los Angeles more than two years | ago, brought his plane here from San Diego yvesterday. Joe Nikrent, official timer of the Na- tional Aeronautic Association, recorded the takeoff at 2:13 am. So in case Capt. Eaker is favcred by tail winds and reaches New York and in better time than Capt. Frank M. Hawks’ record of 12 hours 25 minutes 3 seconds, the new mark would stand. The Army flyer es- timated the gasoline consumption of his plane at 48 gallons an hour and pointed out it hardly would be possible for him to reach New York in 10 hours. Flares Line Runway. ‘The 6,900-foot runway, over which the powerful ship roared, was lined with turning flares to light his way. On the second attempt to take off the motor backfired. Field attendants rushed up i with fire extinguishers and shot liquid over it, but there were no flimes and the action was merely precautionary. So great is the fuel load in the swift monoplane that the flier could carry no baggage and managed only to take a few sandwiches and a vacuum bottle of coffee. The plare is virtually a flying gasoline tank. Extra fuel tanks in the | cockpit augmented the wing supply. It is a Lockheed high-wing, all-metal craft with a 425 horsepower motor equipped | with a supercharger, which makes it possible for the engine to develop 700 howsepower. The supercharger also gives Capt. Eaker a ceiling of 20,000 feet, and he indicated he would fly at high levels if he found winds there favorable. A skeleton type landing gear adds to the ship's speed, which Lockheed engineers estimate at & top of 225 miles an hour and 190 for cruising. ‘The craft, a specilal type ship, was purchased recently by the Army and ferried from Bolling Field, Washington, to San Diego for the flight and other tests. Capt. Eaker said the ship with its yellow wings, silver fuselage and red, white and blue tail, was designed purely as a transport, plane. MOSLEY IS QUSTED FROM LABOR PARTY Unanimous Action Taken| Against Bolter for “Gross Disloyalty.” By the Associated Press. | LONDON, March 10—Sir Oswald| Mosley was expelled from the Labor party today for his “act of gross dis- loyalty” in launching a “new political party.” The resolution ousting Mosley was passed unanimously by the national executives of the Labor party and the | Smethwick branch was notified at once that Sir Oswald was no longer a mem- ber. ‘ Sir Oswald, who is recovering from an attack of influenza which prevented his own presence at the function at which his new party was launched, in- vited his expulsion by neglecting to| announce his resignation from the Labor party even after the new politi- cal group had been started. Organization of the new party is actively under way and Sir Oswald and Lady Cynthia Mosley, his wife, plan to make a stumping tour of the country soon. One Conservative mem- ber of Parliament, W, E. D. Allen, member of the House of Commons for West Belfast, has joined the Mosley group, bringing its membership to five, Mosley, Lady Cynthia, Allen, E. J. St. L.

STAR, WASHINGTON, OIL FIRM REPLIES 10 SIGN PROTESTS Baltimore Concern Denies Erecting Billboards Obstruct- ing “Scenic” Beauty. Continuing its efforts to get national oil companies to réduce the amourit of outdoor advertising that disfigures the highways leading into the National Capital, the American Civic Association has called to the attention of the Amer- ican Oil Co. of Baltimore the existence of a number of its billboard units which might b: regarded as interfering with traffic or obstructing scenic beauty spots along the roadsides. Since the association appealed to members of its Civic Committees to as- sist in the movement to improve condi- tions in the Washington area, the American Oil Co., which is one of the largest users of outdoor signs in this has had numerous protests | section, against their roadside advertising ad- dressed to it. Use Form Letter Reply. In replying to these protests, the company has sent identical letters, evi- dently of the form agreed upon for use under such circumstances. These let- ters state, in part, as follows: “It is our practice never to have signs placed at points which interfere with traffic or really obstruct scenic | beauty spots, and whenever such a sign is brought to our attention we im- mediately order its removal. “Due to the fact that competition makes it essential for us to advertise to some extent on the highways, and that we have signed contracts for the use of outdoor advertising, we cannot well discontinue its use at this time. “We will, however, promise you that the adver g we do maintain upon the highways will be limited and will present the best possible appearance. Company Denies “Sniping.” “The American Ofl Co. never indulges in the practice known as ‘sniping,’ that is, never puts up small signs of assorted sizes along the highways. All of our boards are of the standard size of construction and are placed upon leased property.” ‘These replies of the American Oil Co. were forward to the civic associa- tion. Miss Harlean James, its execu- tive secretary, wrote to the oil company, stating that while civic organizations have not ordinarily agreed on defini- tions of “scenic,” the American Civic Association, however, regards groves and groups of trees on the highways leading into Washington as the prinicpal scenic assets of these roadsides. Forwards Photographs. ‘With her letter she forwarded to the oll company a copy of the recent photo- graphic survey of billboard conditions in the Washington metropolitan area, marking several boards on the Baltimore pike which are construed as objection- able in so far as they disfigure other- wise pleasing landscapes. “We shall welcome the day, and I be- lieve your company will welcome the day, when billboards no longer mar the pleasant roadsides of our rural high- ways,” she wrote. “We believe that your company will save money and sell as much or more gas. “You are probably familiar with the fact that the Standard Oil Co. of Cali- fornia has discontinued all advertising cn the landscape and has undertaken a campaign to improve the appearance of the roadsides in California on the principle, “The more beauty, the more travel; the more travel, the more " “We should like to make it clear that we are not opposing other forms of ad- vertising. We realize the need for calling the attention of the public to products for sale. We do believe that outdoor advertising alienates at least as many prospective patrons as it at- tracts, if it attracts any.” NAVY YARD TELLS PLANS TO KEEP MEN WORKING Most of Philadelphia Civilian Em- ployes Take Wage Cuts Rather Than Lay-Off. By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, March 10—In or- der to lessen the chances of a general Iay-off of civilian employes at the Phila- delphia Navy Yard, officials have adopt- ed a “reduction-in-grade” plan. The system was explained as being designed to give skilled labor at the navy yard a chance to accept a de- crease in pay ranging from 20 to 40 per_cent in preference to a lay-off. The plan was described yesterday by officials as a matter of necessity moti- vated by a desire to keep the men at work. Employment at present, officials ex- plained, is exceedingly low, although improvement will be brought about when the U. S. 8. New Mexico arrives here for modernization April 1. Most of the employes affected have accepted the reduction in rating rather than lay off, it was said. American tourists in Austria last year exceeded those of 1929 by nearly 20 per cent. h i | SHE WANTED ACTION “ | ...AND GOT IT! ; “I'm so tired of those sweet, sappy | tooth pastes,” complained this at- | | tractive young lady. “If only I could | |find one’ which really means some- | Then she tried PEBECO, nd her quest | here's a tooth paste || she exclaimed. “It has | such a delightful tang, its bite tells |me it is really doing a job.
