ARHY CUTS FEARED ~FORTRUGK TESS Vital Artillery Experiments “=Must End Under Bill, "™ Officials Say. Further experiments with mortoriza- tion of Field Artillery would be prac- tically halted, it is contended in Army circles, under restrictions imposed by the House fn passing the 193¢ War Department appropriation bill. For two years the Army has suf- fered from the handicap of a $750 limitation placed on the purchase of trucks, but until now no successful effort had been made to apply this drastic limitation to trucks or motor equipment used in important experi- mental purposes. Unless the Senate Testores the original language of the bill, officials said, it would be use- legs to experiment further in the mo- torization of artillery units so as to dévelop swift-moving_ light and heavy ies capable of long sustained Cross-country movements in an emer- gency. This is a phase of development with which the Army has been meeting with marked success during the last year with a battery of guns drawn by standard commercial trucks. To as- semble these trucks, however, costs considerably more than the $750 limitation under which the Army would be compelled to operate during the next <fiscal year if the clause is not removed drom the pending bill. Opposed by Hurley. Furthermore, the bill limits new ex- penditures for trucks to $150,000, a re- Sduction of $428.500 in the amount zasked by the War Department. Secre- Stary of War Hurley, it was said, is Sstrongly opposed to this cut as well fas the $750 limitation, as an unwar- Sranted Testriction on administrative Zability in supplying the actual needs of the Army for transportation and ex- “perimentation.

During 1932, owing to the limitations placed on prices and the urgent need for motor vehicles in the Army. 18 ex- perimental trucks were assembled at the Holabird Quartermaster Depot in Baltimore. The units required to as- semble these trucks were procured from unit manufacturers and assembled into complete vehicles at the depot. ‘War Lesson Learned. This policy was adopted as a result of lessons learned in the St. Mihiel and Meuse-Argonne drives during the World War, when trucks with parts broken had to be abandoned on the road because of the impossibility of procuring the necessary spare parts for the particular make of truck. In an- other emergency, the Army has figured that there must be standardization and interchangeability of units which the industry must and can furnish, pro- vided the Army tells them what it wants. Despite the great economy in assem- bling these experimental trucks for a motorized battery of Field Artillery, it was found the type of truck could not be assembled for less than $850 for the ones used in towing guns and $1.300 for hauling ammunition. Special equip- ment was found necessary to enable the trucks to operate efficiently on hard cross-country runs. Without going into the technicalities of such equipment, subjected to several months of grinding tests over various kinds cf terrain, it was declared at the War Department that the ordinary trucl ich can be purchased with a *$750 limitation are utterly unfit for motorized artillery. The Army, to keep apace with other nations, also is undertaking to experi- ment with a heavier type of artillery truck, as well as with the motorization of anti-aircraft guns. “To get there first with the most guns” was an axiom of warfare pronounced by the famous Confederate leader, Gen. Nathan Bed- ford Forrest, who is credited with making even swifter moves than “Stonewall” Jackson. That policy is even more applicable today in modern warfare, and it was with the idea of being able to mobilize its artillery with -utmost speed that the Army is anxious to continue these essential tests.

NEW YORK, January 30.—Chimney “4ce,” a solid carbon dioxide refriger- ant, 109 degrees below zero, made from gases going up in smoke, can be manu- factured for a cent and a quarter a pound under a process reported to the American Chemical Society today. *The method is described by Frank E. E. Germann, director of research and professor of chemistry of the Uni- versity of Colorado. It was developed, he says, under direction of Prof. Ham- ilton P. Cady of the University of Kan- sas, on & semi-commercial scale. Dr. Germann was one of several uni- versity scientists participating. Despite its chimney origin, this snowy refrigerant, he says, is a “fine, odor- less product.” He predicts that small cities will use it widely. In its present stage it is specially applicable for nat- ural gas burning communities. Chimneys Had Been Barred. But it can be made from “combus- tion of liquid or solid fuels” as well. In fact, the American chimney is po- tentially the greatest source for this kind of “ice.” Hitherto most of the refrigerant has been made from natural gas sources containing not less than 17 per cent of carbon dibxide. Chimneys were barred because they exhale an average of only 8 to 12 per cent carbon dioxide. ‘The use of 75 million pounds of this refrigerant in the United States in 1931 prompted efforts to tap the flue gases.

The fumes are compressed at from 1,700 to 3,000 pound pressure per square inch in heat exchanging apparatus. Then they are permitted to expand, and this cools them so rapidly that a snowstorm of white carbon dioxide crystals flakes out of the gas. This snow aids in con- densing all except 1 per cent of the re- maining carbon dioxide into “ice.” Water, one of the troublesome in- gredients in chimney gases, is squeezed almost completely out of the mixture by the first high pressure. In the semi- commercial plants it has not been necessary to “scrub,” that is, cleanse, the flue gases further than squeezing out the water. A chemical “scrubber” may be necessary, Dr. Germann says, in full commerciai manufacture. BOOTLEGGER SLAIN Assassins Lie in Wait Outside His Office. CHICAGO, January 30 (#).—The slay- ing of Harry Silver, 37, who, police said, quit the saloon business to take up bootlegging. by men who lay in wait in the hall outside his office, was unsolved today. Police seized four or five ledgers from his office, but refused to reveal their ccntents, declaring they would be turned over to the State attorney's office. Two employes told police Silver was shot as he opened the door to leave. | Evaporation is supposed to be the only outlet of the Dead Sea. TAX SHIFT SHOWN FROM REAL ESTATE Motorists Paying Increasing Share, Hoover Research Report Bares. A decline in the tax burden on prop- erty and its shift to gasoline and other special forms of taxation of motorists is noted in the chapter on “Trends in Taxation and Public Finance” of the President’s Research Committee on So- cial Trends, just made public. The chapter was written by Dr. Clarence Eeer of the University of North Caro- na. It shows the general property tax provided 825 per cent of all State and local tax revenues in 1922, and only 74 per cent in 1930. This, he said, “was due almost entirely to the ex- traordinary growth of motor vehicle 1i- cense and gasoline taxes.” ‘These taxes, it was said, constituted less than 1 per cent of the total State and local tax receipts in 1913, By 1922 they had increased to 4 per cent and by 1930 they were second only to the general property tax in point of reve nue yield, supplying 12 per cent of all State and local taxes raised in that year. In spite of the fact that much gix hthue funds hnre earmarked ‘{;nl' way work, the property tax still bears about one-'.hll'dl’o(?(e the cost of building and maintaining the roads, the chapter said. Dr. Heer reported that in 18 States the proportion of the burden of taxes borne by real estate has decreased be- tween 1913 and 1930. In eight of these the decrease has been more than 10 per cent. In Delaware the decrease was 56 per cent, in Virginia and Wis- consin 15 per cent and in North Caro- lina and Messachusetts 14 per cent. 1IVING BODY ILLUSION: In this startling trick, the magician seemingly pushes a huge threaded needle through the body of an assistant, pulling the needle out the other side, fol- lowed by the thread. EXPLANATION: Under the clothes of the victim is a pipe, extending around one side of his body from front to back. The needle, which is flexible, is inserted in the front end of the pipe, is carried around the body and emerges from the pipe in back. This operation is performed so quickly that the audience does not notice that the needle and thread are momentarily shortened dur- ing the act.
