New bars to speculation, new aids to legitimate financing came today under the drafting pens of a special Senate Committee anxious to have ‘things roll- | ing when Congress meets a week hence. Carter Glass, Democratic Virginia Senator and ex-Secretary of the Treas- ury, gathered the Spechl Banking Com- mittee he heads, in order to complete a measure he has designed to prohibit use of Federal facilities in stock mar- ket speculations and ‘to curb chain banking. Result of Market. This project is the result of the big bull market which came a cropper two years back. There have been many hearings on it. Glass sought also to put the Special Committee at work immediately on President Hoover's emergency economic program. This plan, laid before a bi- partisan conference of legislators at the White House during the Fall, seeks re- capitalization of Federal land banks, broadening the eligibility of paper for rediscount by the Federal Reserve Sys- tem, establishment of home loan banks and a possible revival of the War Fi- nance Corporation to back up the Si’:OOOOO ,000 National Credit Corpora- tion. First Call on Congress. Programs of this kind, designed to get business in good shape, have first call on the attention of Congress, as matters now stand. Other economic projects, of independent origin, how- ever, will claim attention simulta- neously. So will the moratorium on international obligations, which must be ratified. ‘The latter faces bitter opposition in both branches, but its victory is con- sidered assured. The Glass Committee planned to work in executive session until the members decide how they will proceed. HOUSE BILLS PLANNED. CHICAGO, November 30 (#).—Rep- resentative A. J. Sabath. Democrat, announced last night that he would in- troduce in the next session of Congress two bills intended to curb short selling on the stock markets and a resolution to investigate “manipulations and un- ethical practices on the stock ex- changes.” One of the bills would place a heavy tax on all short selling. Mr. Sabath said, and the other would make pro- fessional short selling illegal. Passage of ‘measures, he said, would result in restoration of confidence in the future of the country and in a revival of business.” ‘The Illinoisan also announced he will introduce in the next session a measure pmposln{ creation of a Federal Finance tion, capitalized for $1,000,000,- ooo and empowered to issue bonds to the extent of flve times l'.l caplul structure.

At an age when many statesmen are just beginning to show promise, Maj. Gen, Hanson E. Ely, Maj. Gen. Fred W. Sladen and Rear Admiral Thomas Pickett Magruder, are being retired. They are 64, and neither soldier nor sailor can stay on the active list after that. Golf is the chosen career of the two soldiers from now on. The admiral hasn’t said, but will stick around New Orleans. He might, perhaps, do more writing about the Navy. When he did it before, in 1927, he won more note than in all his previous distinguished career, but also brought down official displeasure, He will have more free- dom now. Gen. Ely, leaving his command at Governors Island, N. Y., will come here to live. His home is in Iowa. Gen. Sladen, originally from Nebraska, is going to do his golfing down South for a time, MAJ. GEN.

He was & native cf Sacramento. He had been in_the film colony seven years. - Police said they could find no reason for a suicide theory. Younger was said to have been in good health and financial circumstances. Travel by Air Cheaper.

FOREIGN TECHNICIANS NEEDED NOW IN RUSSIA Locomotive Trust Head Reveals 3,700 Experts Are Required as Idle Germans Appeal. By the Assoclated Press. MOSCOW, November 30.—Russia will need several thousand more foreign en- gineers and technicians in 1932, Soviet omchlx said today. Bogdanov, manager of the Loco- motlve Factory Trust, said that his trust will need 3,700 more technicians and that only 1,500 ctudents are available from the graduate school. The remain- der. he said, will have to be secured M. Eittner, member of the presidium of the Supreme Economic Council, said many of the 5,000 engineers and techni- cians from abroad who are now in Russia will renew their agreements and remain here after the year ends, but he added that several thousand more will be required. ‘The statements were prompted espe- cially by an appeal made by German employers and engineers’ organizations stating that 70 per cent of the German technical specialists are out of work. M. Bogdanov said his trust might be able to employ a number of the jobless German specialists. FARMERS PREPARE TO GATHER WILD HOLLY TO PURCHASE FOOD Once Spurned and Destroyed, Yule Crop -on Atlantic Seaboard Now Brings Thousands of Dollars. By the Assoclated Press. GEORGETOWN, Del, November 30. —The green-leaved, red-berried holly means Yultide cheer and festivity to the dwellers in the cities. To many farmers of South Delaware who have suffered crop reverses, it means actual food and clothing. ‘The farmers and their entire fam- ilies will go into the woods this week to start cutting the holly which grows wild on their carefully-protected pre- serves . The thousands of dollars the crop brings will be clear profit. The holly is found only along a 500- mile stretch of the Atlanticy Seacoast from Delaware to the Caroflnas, and only for a distance of about 50 miles inland. When other crops fail the farmers of this region ate able make enough money from holly to tide them over the Winter. Forty years ago the farmers and tim- to | ers to harvest their holly. ber men regarded holly as a nuisance. No steps were taken to preserve it, and residents who owned cattle actually destroyed large tracts of it. But it’s different now. Farmers fortunate enough to own growths of holly have protected them with fences and “no trespassing” signs and the State has enacted a law providing a fine and jail sentence for cutting holly without permission of the owner. In some of the holly woods are trees valued by their ownes at $200 or more. Willizm Buell of Milford, Del, is credited with having started the holly industry. In the early 90’s he shipped 3,000 cases to Chicago on consignment and recelved $1 a case. His success encouraged other farm- Nowadays sprnys and wreaths of green leaves and berries bedeck homes throughout the country at Christmas time.

LINER Hero of Atlantic Rescues to Take Charge of Largest American-Built Ship. M By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 30.—Capt. George Fried, hero of thrilling rescues in the stormy North Atlantic, yesterday was named commander of the new United States liner Manhattan, to be launched at Camden, N. J., Saturday. ‘The Manhattan, a 30,000-ton ship, 1705 feet long, is said to be 10,000 tons larger than any previous American- built merchantman. Capt. Fried, a modest, unassuming man, has been honored by American, English and Itallan governments, and was commended for his heroism by President Coolidge and a representative of King George. A sturdy, blond, 6-footer of Norse descent, Fried was born in Worcester, Mass.,, and his early life was spent on a farm. At the outbreak of the Span- ish-American War he enlisted in the Army, serving two years. Served in U. S. Navy. Then he joined the Navy and served until 1916, when he transferred to the merchant marine as third officer of the Eolace. He was recalled to the Navy shortly before the World War, however, and remained in the service until 1921. On his return to the merchant ma- rine, Capt. Fried became chief officer of the United States liner President Grant and was soon promoted to a sim- ilar position on the America, and from that, in 1922, to the captaincy of the President Roosevelt. In January, 1926, he rescued 25 members of the crew of the freighter Antinoe after standing by the helpless vessel in high seas for three days. He had difficulty in locating the ship, which had drifted far from the position given in her distress call. Awarded Navy Cross. For his heroism, Capt. Pried was awarded the Navy Cross and was decorated, as were members of his crew, by the British government. He received the personal thanks of King George for rescuing the British crew of the Antinoe. In 1928 he went back to the recondi- tioned America and in January of the following year rescued 32 men from the Italian freighter Florida, for which he was decorated by the Italian and United States Governments. In November, 1930, he steamed 10 hours toward the disabled Swedish vessel Ovidia and stood by while an- other ship removed the crew. During the recent illness of Capt. A. B. “Rescue” Randall, the com- modore of the United States Lines, who also has an enviable record of heroic rescues, Capt. Fried commanded the Leviathan on three frips. Since the return of Commodore. Randall, . Capt. Fried has been acting as port captain of the United Et.ltzs Lines. IRISHMEN IN IN ARMS TRIAL Press Ordered to Curb News on Weapon Possession Hearing.

VICTORY 1S SEEN OVER RADIO FADING | Machine Built to Picture Shift of Air Layers Causing Condition. Development of a machine to meas- ure continuously the height of the “heavyside layer,” a region of clec- tricity-conducting air about 100 miles above the earth, was announced today by the Bureau of Standards. Radio waves from the earth strike this layer and “bounce” back to the earth again. Changes in the height of the layer send the waves back at vary- ing angles. As a result the waves are not always correctly synchronized with other waves that travel along the ground. Thus radio fading and the re- sulting disgust of listeners. Scientists believe they might do away with fading by adjusting radio s 1s to correspond to the varying heights 1of the layer if they could get a con- tinuous picture of how the layer bil- lows. The new device of the bureau seems to provide this sort of picture. Impulses Become Light. It employs a radio transmitter to send out impulses that come to the receiving station through the air, bouncing off the Kennelly-Heaviside layer on the way, and other impulses that travel along the ground. The im- pulses are ormed into light that registers on a moving film. ‘The ground waves nlw-yl travel the same distance, so register a straight line on the film. But the sky waves, bounding about, travel a greater or lesser distance as the layer moves up and down. They register traces on the film that vary in heigh" xbove the trace left by the ground indicates the relative he - layer above ground. With working _continuously, a picture is drawn that shows just how the layer is shiftinz. Will Help Television. ‘The new knowiedge which will be obtained with this device may also help make television more practical by pos- sibly doing away with the “double im- age” that now often results in blurred pictures. ‘The double image results when ground waves and sky waves, each carrying an image, fail to arrive at exactly the same e. The shifts in Kennelly-Heaviside layer’s hehnt seem to cause this variation by bring- in the sky wave a little behind or ing a little ahead of the ground wave.
