'REPORTS SOUGHT ON HELIUM SALE U. S. Departments Asked for Advice on Gas for New Dirigible. Rcpresentatives of five Federsl de- partments have been called upon for | reports on the advisability of sale by the United States of non-inflamma- ble helium gas to Germany for use in a sister airship to the ill-fated Hin- denburg. The new airship is expect- ed to be ready to take the place of the Hindenburg in trans-Atlantic serv- ice before the end of the Summer. ‘The reports were requested by Sec- retary of the Interior Ickes, chair- man of the new Interdepartmental . Committee appointed this week by President Roosevelt, The committee is expected to hear testimony from Dr. Hugo Eckener, “now attending the Hindenburg in- quiry at Lakehurst, N. J. and it is not expected he will come * here until after the Lakehurst probe | 18 completed. The departments — State, War, Navy, Interior and Commerce—are to report to Ickes on the probable effect on Federal policies of releas- ing helium for use abroad. The United States now has a monopoly on this rare gas, found in practicable quantities in the natural gas flelds near Amarillo, Tex. Pending a decision on the sale of helium to Germany the veteran Graf Zeppelin, now hydrogen filled as was the Hindenburg, has been withdrawn from service across the South At- * lantic. It is believed that the future of commercial airships in Germany will depend upon the action to be taken by Secretary Ickes' committee. The interdepartmental group is au- | thorized to determine a Federal policy | with regard to helium production and | disposal for recommendation to the President.

Washington Jews have contributed #300 more than the $80,000 campaign quota of the United Jewish Appeal, it was announced yesterday afternoon at he closing of the two-week drive. Although their goal was attained, the 500 workers, meeting on Wednes- day night, agreed to contiue the can- | vass for funds for another week. Ap- * proximately 2.200 individual donations | have been received thus far. and drive | leaders are hopeful of obtainig 3,000. | Last year the appeal raised $63,000 from 2,500 contributors. Morris Simon, co-chairman of the | = — eampaign, appealed to the workers to bring in every dollar possible because of the great need for funds to carry on relief work of the Joint Distribu- tion Committee in Europe and the Palestine cause. Louis E. Spengler, drive director, Baid the very existence of Jewish people is threatened by political con- ' ditions throughout the world. He cited the recent riots in Poland during which an entire Jewish community was wiped out. Morris Cafritz, another vice chair- |3 man of the drive, praised the work of the youth division, which raised more | than $2,500. A message of ccngratu- fation from Isidore Hershfield, co- chairman, was read.

CHICAGO, May 21.—Lawyers pon- dered today the possible outcome of Judge Joseph B. David's order to a 16-year-old girl witness to name the co-respondent in a divorce trial in violation of a newly enacted Illinois law. Defying the State’s attorney, who declined a promise of immunity to the court and witness, and calling the Legislature a “pack of meddlers,” Judge David risked prosecution by forcing Miss Hazel Kamke of Mercer, Wis., on threat of a jail sentence, to name the co-respondent. The hearing was held yesterday in the suit of Edward C. Kuehn, 33, against his wife, Verna, whom he charged with infidelity. Francis Hinckley, counsel for Mrs. Kuehn, said the law provided a prison sentence of one to five years for nam- ing a co-respondent. Miss Kamke identified “a Mr. Gravenstein.” Germany today is a gigantic mu- nition factory.

Headed by Joseph Stansfield as president, the District of Columbia Federation of Federal Employes’ Unions Wednesday night chose officers for the next year. Others named were: W. E. Hoffheins, vice president; Miss | Grace E. Reardon, secretary-treasurer, and John W. Ginder, trustee.

Immediately after the election the officers were installed by Luther C. Steward, national president of the N. F. F. E, who urged all locals to send a full delegation to the national convention. Miss Gertrude M. Mc- Nally, national secretary-treasurer, re- ported on the progress being made in increasing membership and or- ganizing new locals throughout the country. A committee was authorized to in- form the congressional subcommittee handling daylight savings legislation for the District that in view of the wide difference of opinion on this sub- Ject, some sort of referendum be ar- ranged among Federal employes. The ‘Women's Local, No. 105, of the Bureau of Engraving, has already gone on record against this measure. FIREMEN IN RECIPE Looked Out, Housewife Sounds Alarm and Saves Steak. ROCHESTER, N.
