ANOTHER MURDER 5,000 SEE EXHIBITS ARREST EXPECTED Prince Georges Deputy Hunt- ing Suspect in Capitol Heights Mystery. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star UPPER MARLBORO, Md., October 27. —Another arrest in the Thorne mur- der case was promised today by Deputy Sheriff Thomas H. Garrison, who re- opened the investigation of the shooting of Emmanuel Thorne, U. S. Marine, by arresting Frank Prochanzka Satur- day night. Deputy Garrison said he expected to make another arrest this evening. He spent part of yesterday looking for a suspect Some time today Mr. Garrison plans to question Prochanzka, who is being held at the Marlboro jail on a charge of murder. Yesterday Prochanzka told reporters he knew nothing of the case until the Marine's body was found last April in a shallow grave yards from a garage the prisoner for- merly operated at Greater Capitol Heights. Prochanzka said he did not know Thorne nor Cline Teegarten, another man who has been questioned in the case.

By the Associated Press LAWRENCEVILLE, Va, October Edward P. Buford. widely known at- torney and banker, was found shot to death in his home yesterday, s pistol lying by his side. Dr. P. N. Mallory, Brunswick, county coroner, returned a | verdict of suicide. Dr. Mallory said Buford had been un- usually nervous in recent weeks and had worried over the financial condition of the community which had forced two banks of the county, including his own, to close temporarily. He was president of the Brunswick Bank & Trust Co Buford was admitted to the Virginia bar when he was 21 years old and served as Commonwealth's attorney of the county over a long term until 19 when he Tesigned rather than “under. take the prosecution of prohibition law violators.” He frequently attacked the constitutionality of all dry laws, and several years ago delivered a spirited oration on the subject before the Vir- ginia Bar Association, of which he was a former president.

Representative products of Wash- ington’s unobtrusive industries were stretched out in colorful array at the Washington Auditorium last night, as more than 5000 persons attended the | opening of the seventh annual Indus- trial Exposition of the Washington Chamber of Commerce. The show will | | continue throughout this week. The display of the Capital's diversi- | fed manufactures was formally opened y Secretary of Labor Willlam N. Doak, {at 8:45 a'clock, with a radio address | broadeast from the Auditorium floor by | Station WMAL. The speaker was in- | troduced by Isaac Gans, chairman of | the Reception Committee for the expo- | sition. - “As an official of the United States | Government, I indorse this exposition as & representative picture of what| | Washington is doing industrially,” Sec- | retary Doak declared. “There are many | industries in Washington, and it is | equally essential and good to know that |in spite of their activities they have not {in any way eclipsed the beauty of our | great Capital.” | Called City of Beauty. Mr. Doak characterized Washington | as an example of a city wherein “beau- ty and utility go hand in hand— beauty presenting itself at every turn, while industry works quietly and re- tired.” Washington, he said, is a city of rare beauty, and never will be soiled by the hand of trade. | “The National Capital is_essentially a governmental city,” Mr. Doak said, “with commandingly beautiful struc- tures. It was not within the intention of the founder of the city any more than it is the intention of the members of the Chamber of Commerce to make this town a great manufacturing com- | munity like other cities of our land. | “At the same time, the products of | the industries of Washington reach all | parts of the world; The craftsmanship | of the cltizens of the Capital is worth- | ily demonstrated by this exposition and by the demand for the products.” , Crowd Too Large. | Interest at the exposition centered | about the first public demonstration of | projected television pictures, an exhibit | arranged by the Jenkins Television Laboratories of Passaic, N. J. This demonstration, which it is planned to hold each night of the show from 9 to 11 p.m., attracted a crowd too large | to handle at last night's performance, | with the result that the exhibit was closed before the program was com- pleted. The throng crashed through a guard rail and was in danger of demaging the reception irftrument | when the management decided to call ! the demonstration off It s planned to attempt s new method of showing television during the remainder of the week, so the man agement can better cope with antici- pated crowds.

The pllot has the advantage over the man on the ground in that he does not have to worry about diaiing numbers calling the long-distance operator or | hearing the stereotyped message. “Walt & minute, please, plete your call During last night's demonstration, Pilot John Cable, flying & big Depart- ment of Commerce tri-motored trans- port plane equipped for test purposes with all the latest aids to navigation. was able to converse freely and with no effort, except that of talking, with air- way stations as far away as Newark, N. J., or with the passengers in the plane behind him, all through the same mouthpiece. Flight Is Impromtu. Arranged by Clarence M. Young, As- sistant Secretary of Commerce for and Frederick R.

So that the test might be representa- tive of ordinary operating conditions, Cable made no arrangement with any of the ground stations. Warming up the big plane in front of the Depart- ment of Commerce hangar at Bolling | Field just as the last red streamers of daylight vanished over Arlington Heights and darkness settled down, | Cable taxied out into the field into the light of & full moon. Blue flame spurted from the ex-| hausts of the two wing motors as Cable shoved the three throttles wide open and the plane, gathering speed over the bumpy surface of Bolling | Pield, climbed smoothly into the night. The lights of Alexandria, surprisingly close, traced & checkerboard under the left wing and far ahead could be seen the lights of Fairfax, and the smaller communities between. Turning out over the Potomac, Cable swung in a long curve up over the Capitol, which thrust its gleaming dome above the lacework of the city lights, and headed for College Park. Md., home of the Department of Commerce radio research station and the radio-range station on the mountain airway to Pittsburgh. Passengers Listen-in. On the way to College Park he switched on his radio-telephone trans- mitter. Earphones, plugged into jacks in the cabin, permitted his passengers to listen-in. “WWX, WWX," Cable called into his 11 letters of the Na. tional Capital's airways weather broad- casting station near Camp Springs. Md. | “NS-1 calling WWX. Come on, WWX. There was & sputtering in the ear- phones and the reply: “WWX, answer- ing NS-1.

From Col- lege Park we will fly to Frederick, Md,, and return. When can we come in again?” “Come in after the next weather broadeast,” the ground station replied, “I will call you then.” Visual Beacon Operates.

T'hc Baltimore-Washington highway, wide and bright on the dark ground below, stretched away into the spread- ing glow of the city lights to the left and off to the right, through the bright beads of Maryland towns, to the glow of Baltimore on the right. Cable swung to the left to demon- strate the action of the visual radio beacon. The little pointer swung away from the center marker to the left. Cable swung back until the pointer settled on the line and knew he was back on his course once more . Far to the right there was & gleam of silver where the moon glinted on the waters of Chesapeake Bay. Chevy Chase and then Bethesda passed by to the right. A few minutes later the big airways beacon light at Congressiona! Afrport slipped by under the right wing, the lights of Rockville just bevond. The moon by now was high enough to throw its full light on the fields and stretches of woods below and the irregularities of the ground stood out in bold relief. | Weather Reported by Radio. A sputtering of static in the ear- phones heralded the beginning of the | 15-minute airways weather report from ‘WWX. The report corroborated all the outward evidence of a beautiful October | evening. The temperature was down to 55 degrees, the Weather Bureau an- nounced, and the blast coming in the cabin ventilators was proof he couldn't be wrong. At the end of the broadcast WWX | called the plane’s radio number, NS-1 and Cable reported his position as 10 miles west of Rockville, The Washing- ton call completed, Cable summoned the airways station at Newark out of the night by merely asking that WNAO ir. Newark had some ing Cable's position report and when Cabie said he was on a dem- onstration flight out of Washington Newark wanted to know whether it was Washington, N. J., or Washington, D. C. Cable had to spell out the name of | “Frederick” as his destination before Newark understood, and then asked for the call letters of the mountain air- ways station at Bellefonte, Pa Desiring to attract the attention ot his passengers, Cable merely spoke into his ~mouthpiece. the ear- phones in the cabin came the mes- sage: “If you will look out ahead. you will see the green beacon marking the intermediate field at Frederick.” Visibility High in Ideal Skies, Twenty miles ahead the beacon could be seen clearly. The visibility was un- limited. To the left the flashing bea- cons on the Washington-Atianta air- way could be seen below Quantico, Va. Behird and to the left could-be seen the flashing pin-points of the Wash- ington-New York beacons beyond Bal- timore. To the left, somber in the moonlight, rose the peak of Sugar Loaf Mountain. fully 7 miles away. Ahead, beyond Frederick, could be seen the rampart of South Mountain. Patches of ht marked the positions of Maryland and Virginia communities as far distant as Leesburg to the south and Thurmont to the north. In a few minutes the earphones were filled with the hourly weather broad- cast, covering conditions at all sta- tions along the New York-Washington airway from Newark to Richmond. Va. All along the line conditions were ideal Completing__the broadcast, WWX again asked NS-1 to come on the air and Cable replied.

The lights of Prederick passed below and Cable switched on the big wing landing lights and dropped in low over the intermediate fleld just beyond Prederick. On the edge of the field slow- ly revolved & big beacon Iight, with its green glass lens showing the presence of a landing field, emergency harbor for the night pilot. Cireling the fleld, Cable swung back toward Washington until the aural beacon signals, merging into a long hum, unbroken except for the station identification calls, indicated he was on the precise center of the airway, headed for home. He swung slightly | to the right, obeying the rules of the air s the voice of the announcer at WWX broke in on the beacon signals with auvther 15-minute weather report “The Wt completed, Cable called him and Meited that the field flood lights at BoLhz Field be turned on when he ciréed for a landing at about 7 o'clock. “¥Wanging up” on Was! n by the e method of saying, “Thank you, WWE."

BY MARK SULLIVAN. The immediate advance in Ameri- can financial and business stability as | result of M. Laval's understanding | with President Hoover, while very real, {is comparatively slight ecompared to favorable developments - that have arisen in our own coufitry. Neverthe- less, the consequences of M. Laval's visit are important and concrete. Prance has had for a long time some hundreds of millions of dollars |in gold and other forms of money | and securities on deposit in New York. | The deposit was in terms that per- | mitted “withdrawal at any moment without notice. Under the *jumpy” condition of financial nerves that has | erupted in large areas all over the ! | world recently, this condition was just | a little disturbing to leading American | bankers, They had no need of the | Prench deposits -and could let them g0 without concern. Nevertheless, the mere act of a sudden withdrawal might, in the present condition of the world's nerves, cause comment or action not advantageous to the United States. Moreover, the French, during the September period of strain on the | Bank of England, had withdrawn gold | from London at times and under cir- cumstances which led bankers all over the world to feel that the French are sometimes subject to sudden impulses to withdraw their deposits and put them in their own stocking. French People Hoard. It should be added that the French government has been reproached for this rather more than is just, for the government cannot always control the actions of its own people; and the fact is that within Prance itself there is going on a hoarding of gold and bank- notes by individuals somewhat like that which went over America like a wave some weeks ago. In any event, if the American bank- ers had felt perfectly free to speak their minds to the Prench, they probably e spoken somewhat as fol- lows: “We are glad to have your de- posits. At the same time we did not solicit them and can get along quite | comfortably without them. We don't mind sending gold to Europe. On the contrary, it is our wish and our advan- vantage to do so. We do not, however, like sudden withdrawals of large quan- titles. If you wish to leave your de- posits with us, we should like to be assured they will not be withdrawn suddenly without notice.” Fix Withdrawal Dates. Something like this has actually been effected as an incident of the visit of M. Laval and his financial advisers, and the French deposits in American banks are now attended by terms fixing definite future dates before which they cannot be withdrawn. This is bit one of several events of the past few days which have brought | practically to an end a general move- ment not only in Prance, but in most | of Europe, which expressed itself in the | sale of American securities and other- | wise in some strain upon the American | credit structure This favorable development in Bu. Tope is, however, slight compared to| the organization all over the United States of the local branches of the new billion-dollar National Credit Corpo- ration proposed by President Hoover ree weeks ago. The effect of this organization upon local banks every- where may be suggested in part by a supposititious illustration. A bank in Detroit or Grand Rapids or Batti Creek, Mich,, might hold a mortgage for $100.000, signed by Henry Ford and secured by a deed to all Ford's real es- tate. together with the entire capital stock of the Ford Motor Co. as col-| lateral.

Special Dispatch to The Star. | LYNCHBURG, Va., - | Edward Christian Glass, ‘ears superintendent of the public schools of Lynchburg, and brother of United | States Senator Carter Glass, died Yel-". terday at Memo: Hospital here after an iliness of several months. | Mr. Glass was born in Lynchburg, | His actlvity as the | head of the school system of the city | was conducted until several months ago | when his health failed. His decline in health began with the death of his \‘wgéeo, formerly Miss Susie Carter, in Mr. Glass was one of the original | teachers of the public schools when they were established by the State in 1871, and he was next to the last sur- | vivor of the staff of 20 pioneer teachers. | Mr. Glass in 1881 founded a system of normal school instruction for those who expected to teach after finishing high school. This became the Sum- mer school of method in 1889, which was first held in Lynchburg and was the actual forerunner of the present | Summer school now held at University of Virginia. tem, because the system properly eon- fines its rediscounting to, speaking loosely, securities which automatically | liquidate themselves through the com- pletion of ordinary commercial trans- actions associated with the sale of com- modities. Jam Is Now Ended, ‘The embarrassment to local banks all over the. country, due to having no place to discount securities not con- forming to the Federal Reserve Sy: tem’s rules about ‘“eligible paper” was very great. It has accounted for the closing of some banks, and for the in- ability of nearly all banks to have enough cash' to lend to their customers for business purposes. This jam is now ended by the setting up of the National | Credit Corporation. There may not be | many Henry Ford notes, but there are | billions of sound securities recently | “frozen,” which the new institution will | discount. Without suggesting that the creation | | of this institution accounis for all of | the favorable developments of the past | few weeks those developments are gen- uinely = remarkable. Bank and bank runs have diminished, and scared heads of banks are beginning to | lend money to their customers. Wheat | has risen about 11 cents a bushel, and | cotton about 25 per cent of its former | price. Best cf all, the withdrawal of | money by timid depositors for hoarding | has tapered off to almost nothing. Dur- | ing the first week of October it was | at the rate of about $30,000,000 a day. That would have had catastrophic con- sequences if kept up. Last week it was down to the comparatively negligible amount of about $5,000,000 a day.

CLARENDON, Va, October 27— Tabulation of the 115 ballots cast under the auspices of the Cross-Section Ballot Committee of Arlington County showed Sheriff Howard B. PFlelds lead- ing his nearest competitor by more than 2 to 1. The ballots were counted publicly last night in the Rees Build- ing, Wilson Boulevard. ‘Three ballots were taken for each of the offices of sheriff, Commonwealth's attorney and trial justice, those re- celving the lowest vote being elim- inated upon each ballot and the ballots, where second choice was shown, being distributed among the highest. The vote was as follows: For sheriff —First ballot, Howard B. Fields, 77; A. C. Clements, 3: the 4; Z. O. Kines, 1; Carl A. Schulze, 0.
