DELEGATES 0 SEE NEW GUST TUNNEL Hundreds of Experts to Be Drawn to Langley Field May 18. With a new “gust tunnel” for use {n determining the destructive effects upon aircraft of violent air disturb- ances, and a report on results of the first year of operation of the new high- speed tunnel as chief items of inter- est, hundreds of the Nation's fore- most aviation leaders are preparing to attend the twelfth annual Aircraft Engineering Research Conference of the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics at Langley Field, Va., May 18. The high-speed tunnel, details of which are being withheld by the Gov- ernment to protect American aircraft development in the high-speed ranges, is capable of providing an air stream st velocities of up to 500 miles per hour for testing aircraft models and airfoils. This tunnel had just been completed in time for last year's conference and the May 18 meeting will give repre- sentatives of the American aeronauti- cal industry their first opportunity of learning the effects of research proj- ects so far conducted. The new gust tunnel also is ex- pected to provide material of primary | importance in connection with the | structural design of aircraft. The coming conference also will afford representatives of the industry an opportunity to witness tests and receive first-hand reports of progress | in aeronautical research in the numer- ous laboratories at Langley Field. The N. A. C. A. also will receive from those present suggestions as to research problems of outstanding importance for study during the coming year. Most of those attending the confer- ence will assemble in Washington May 17 and will make the trip to Langley Field on the Norfolk & Wash- ington steamer leaving here at 6:30 Pp.m. that day. They will return early | on the morning of May 19. D.A.R.

Tull is regent, dedicated two D. A. R. markers in Rock Creek Cemetery. Meeting with the National Board of Management of the society yes- terday, Mrs. Becker reported excel- lent results in the D. A. R:'s program for the aid of youth during the past | year. In an account of her recent tour of the country, which took her to many State D. A.

LANSING, Mich, April 17.—Gov. Frank Murphy put finishing touches today on & four-point program to in- sure the industrial peace in Michigan which he has sought during the first three and one-half months of his strike-beset administration. Murphy, who already has enunciated & policy that labor “must organize or be crushed,” hinted his program would be ready for legislative action within & week. Points in Program. It will provide, he said: 1. A labor relations act “which 1s vital if we are to avold industrial con- flict.” 2. A schedule of minimum wages. 3. Compensation for occupational diseases. 4. A factory inspection law to elimi- nate bad working conditions for labor and, among other things, control the speed-up of the assembly line auto- mobile factories. “As I explain it to you next week,” Murphy promised newspaper reporters assembled in a press conference, “you will find it is a carefully conceived program.” He declined to disclose details at this time, The Governor indicated he would use the weapon of public opinion as one means of enforcing compliance, especially in regard to the bill which will provide for inspection of factories. Work Conditions Inspected. “Michigan,” he said, “is one of the two or three States in the Union now providing facilities for inspection of its laborers’ working conditions. A careful program of legislation can get 1t to the top.” He sald it would be designed to eliminate such conditions as those responsible for explosions, accidents in which men are maimed or killed, and those which have caused in- dustrial discontent. “We will see that there is a report to the public concerning such mat- ters,” The Governor said, “and look to public opinion to help us to correct them.” Gov. Murphy already has announced that his wage-and-hour labor program would be patterned in large extent after the terms of the Wagner act. He has contended the Wagner act, had the Supreme Court upheld it earlier, might have prevented the far- i flung automobile strikes that plagued his administration. PEACE OATH OMITTED New York School Heads Told Pro- nouncements Too Sweeping. NEW YORK, April 17 (#)—The Board of School Superintendants of | | New York City instructed all prin- cipals today that anti-war oaths— the so-called “Oxford oath” against bearing arms—must not be administered to public school chil- dren on “Peace day,” April 22. The board felt, its announcement said, that such pronouncements were “far too sweeping” for school children. The announcement said student par- ticipation in peace demonstrations outside school buildings might result in withholding of diplomas. GIVEN MRS. POUCH Presidency and Six Other Honors on Program for Tuesday’s Election. Mrs. William Henry Pouch, a former vice president general of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution, has been nominated for national presiden- cy of the Children of the American Revolution, it was announced yester- day by Mrs. John Morrison Kerr, chairman of the Nominating Com- mittee. Six other prospective national of- ficers are on the ballot for Thursday’s election, to be held in the Women's ‘War Memorial Building auditorium, where the forty-second annual C. A. R. convention is to be held this week. Mrs. Henry Bourne Joy, Mrs. John Francis Weinmann, Miss Myra Hazard and Mrs. Edmund Burke Bell will be considered for national vice presidents general, Mrs. Ryland C. Bryant for national registrar and Mrs. Graham Lawrence for national chaplain, Credentials Presented. Presentation of credentials yester- day was limited chiefly to representa- tives of the 15 District of Columbia C. A. R. societies and delegates from out-of-town societies temporarily resi- dent in Washington. At 9 a.m., an hour before registra- tion in Memorial Continental Hall was scheduled to start, 11-year-old Varina Claire Richard of 4811 W street ap- peared at national headquarters to be listed as alternate delegate for the Richard Lord Jones Society here. Most out-of-town delegates will reg- ister tomorrow, Mrs. Amos A. Fries, publicity chairman of the convention, said yesterday. Religious Services Today. Morning service .at Christ Church, Alexandria, and vespers at the Wash- ington Cathedral are the only activi= ties scheduled today for the delegates. From Tuesday until Thursday, how- ever, all available hours will be utilized in business sessions, colorful pageantry, sight-seeing tours, ceremonies, recep- tions and parties. Although many of the juniors are in their high ’teens, Mrs. C. A. Swan Sinclair, national president, said she | believed there may be some among the delegates well under 1 year of age. Relief (Continued P'ronll“lrst Page.) fiscal year draws to a close must be made up by deficiency appropriations. For some time the President has been pulling at his hair while poring over figures with Secretary of the Treasury Morgenthau and Daniel Bell, acting director of the budget. The first headache came when he was ad- vised that the anticipated revenues | {had fallen considerably below what | | was counted on earlier in the year. | | To make matters worse, the expenses | | have grown beyond expectations. With the hope of helping matters, | even just a trifie, the President re- | | cently sent out a notice to the depart- ,ment and various agency heads ad- | vising them of this unhappy situation |and urging that they save money wherever possible. In addition to this the social se- | curity law has been disappointing in | the matter of producing revenue and | now the administration is faced with | injunctions following the decision of | & Federal court last week holding the law unconstitutional. New D.C. Directory Shows Unequaled Supporting the prediction of Chair- man Ross Collins of the House Ap- propriations Subcommittee that the District's population will grow rap- idly during the next few years, Wash- ington’s 1937 city directory virtually bulges with new and old names. Between the covers of the longer, wider byt somewhat thinner edition of the Capital’s “Who's Who" of both the elite and the hoi polloi, there are a total of 405,632 names, a gain of 8832 over the 1936 volume, 35,752 over 1935 and 120,792 over 1928. Ac- cording to the publishers, R. L. Polk & Co, this indicates a growth in total population unequaled by any other city in the country during the 1930's. Keeping pace with population in- creases, the business and professional life of the city shows a gain of 19 new lines within the last year. The direc- tory workers also found 749 different kinds of enterprises in operation. For those curious about firsts and | lasts in the new directory, Alton Aaberg is the former and Albert J. Zyvoloski the latter.

CONGRESS ISHELD NEEDING D.C. DATA Voorhis Urges Citizens to Ease Misunderstanding With Information. There is a great deal of misunder- standing in regard to District affairs in Congress, Representative Jerry Voorhis of California told members of the Conduit Road Citizens’ Asso- ciation and representatives of several other West-End citizens’ associations at an open forum meeting last night at the Palisades Park Fleld House, and the immediate task of citizens’ organi- zations is to see that Congressmen are better informed. “I think members of Congress should sit in on a few meetings like this,” he said, “then they will find out a few things.” Discussing the possibilities of a vote for the District, Representative Voor- his declared that he was not alto- gether sure it would be a good thing. “Other Representatives,” he said, “feeling that the two or three Repre- sentatives from the District were there and were looking after District prob- lems, would wash their hands of the matter. As it is, every Representative is, or at least he should be, taking some interest in what goes on there. “Washington should be ‘the ideal community of America, and the way to do it is to have the people back in the States feel that they have in interest there,” he added. Pollowing the speech by Represen= tative Voorhis, Wilbur 8. Finch, chair= man of a recently organized citizens' committee to study various plans of local government and representation, outlined the history of the voting privilege, and declared that “There was no intention on the part of the framers of the Constitution or the Federal officials who first sat hese to disfranchise the District.” Finch explained the so-called Bur- roughs plan of local government, of which he is one of the authors, and which calls for a Federal area under the exclusive jurisdiction of Congress, a city council elected by the people, a city manager appointed by the President of the United States, and heads of departments appointed by the city manager, with the consent of the city council, Don't be miserable with EXCESSIVE 'ACID . . . digestive upsets . . , aches . . . ains.
