THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, Al Smith Makes Some New Friends The buffalo in Central Park’s new “picture book” Zoo appear quite willing to be friendly with former Gov. Alfred E. Smith, although the half-peeled banana he’s holding must have puzzied them a bit—they prefer hay. It wasn't meanc for the buffalo, anyway, but for the youngster beside the former Governor. Watching the pro- ceedings, after the formal opening of the zoo yesterday, are Mayor La Guardia and a few youngsters permitted -A. P, Photo. D. C, CURB OF PENSIONS OF GUARD UPHELD Appeals Court Sustains Right to Deny Recognition to Officers Drawing Fund. The District Court of Appeals today upheld the validity of the rider to the ‘War Department appropriation act of 1933, which directs National Guard officers to give up their State benefits or their Federal pensions. The case was brought into court when Ransom H. Gillett, a brigadier general in the New York National Guard, filed suit to compel Secretary of War Dern and other Army officials to accord him Federal recognition as a National Guard officer, which was withdrawn following passage of the act. Gillet had refused to surrender his Federal pension for wounds sus- tained overseas. ‘The lower court dismissed his peti- tion. In upholding this action, the | Do FALSE TEETH | MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1934, appelate court stated in part: “The petitioners argument that he is an officer of the Army and subject to discipline or removal in accordance with the articles of war is without foundation. Nor is there any more doubt that Congress has the power to withhold Federal recognition from all or any part of the militia in its dis- cretion.” AD RATE RULING ASKED Lower Federal courts were directed today by the Supreme Court to rule on the validity of group advertising rates which are lower than individual publications charge. Until this is done the high court refused to decide a case brought by the Indiana Farmers' Guide Publish- ing Co. of Huntington, Ind., - against the Prairie Farmer Publishing Co. of Chicago and four other farm papers.

Insisting he was a ‘“conservative” on the money question, Senator ‘Thomas, Democrat, of Oklahoma, said today he was asking bankers, heads of State banking departments, econo- mists and members of Congress their views on nis monetary program. Success of Tests Prompts Move to Appropriate Special Fund. So enthusiastic is the general staff over the speed record and efficiency of the Army’s newest and fastest armored tank, it was said today, that the War Department is expected to provide for construction of a fleet of the new tanks in next year's Army appropriations. The 8-ton tank has proved it can sprint at better than 60 miles an hour, cruise at around 50 miles and main- tain a sustained speed of better than 130 miles an hour. For the last two | weeks it has undergone severe dem- | onstration tests in Washington and | | vicinity under the critical eye of ex- perts. i It also is considered possible that | | Secretary of War Dern will seek an | | allotment from the Public Works Ad- | | ministration for immediate construc- | tion of some of the new tanks. | During the World War tanks were | introduced which had a maximum | speed of 6 to 7 miles an hour and | during the war were developed so that | faster 6-ton tanks and lumbering 44- | | ton monsters were ready for action. | By 1928 a light tank capable of speeding 22 miles an hour, with a | sustained speed of 15 miles; had been | | developed. J. Walter Christie then developed and patented convertible-type tanks | designed to run on wheels when used on roads and on tracks when used across country, permitting high road speeds. The new tank was designed by offi- cers in the Ordnance Division under supervision of Maj. Gen W. H. Tschap- pat, with the support of Maj. Gen. Edward Croft, chief of Infantry.
