John D. Biggers, census administrator, vesterday made what he called & “guess” that the forthcoming survey would disclose an | unusually large percentage of jobless over 40 years old.

Once they lose out in one industry, he said, counter great difficulty in obtaining they work in another. i While the census, he predicted, wm’ direct attention to this man-over-40 problem in an unprecedented manner, it also will furnish a basis for solv- ing it. “If you know the types of people | unemployed,” Biggers said, “and their ages and capabilities and the indus- tries in which they worked, you can determine what they're capable of | doing in some ot The census, a voluntary registration of all unemployed and partially un- employed, will be taken November 16 to 20.

She | adopted a union labor policy and signed a wage-scale agreement. For five years hers was the only union coal company in Colorado, but it prospered. This concern for labor and her long in juvenile courts was transferred in | Washington to a powerful drive for improved public health.

Judges Select Winners, There were judges to select win- ning divisions, floats, decorated ve- hicles, bands, costumed group march- ers and costumed individual marchers. Departing from previous practice, however, these judges will not an- nounce their selections until tomorrow evening when the queen and members of her court will be guests of the Raleigh Hotel at a dinner dance. Before the parade last night, there was a reception at the Willard Hotel for the District Commissioners and Mayors and other officials of towns and cities in nearby Maryland and Virginia who later reviewed the parade as guests of honmor. ‘The Halloween queen met members of her court there and went to Sixth street and Constitution avenue N.W., to lead the parade_to the court of honor. Here she received a bouquet from Commissioner George E. Allen and mounted to her throne to review a procession which required 1 hour and 15 minutes to pass. The parade proved to be strong on pragons. There were dragons on floats, on poles and on foot—dragons whose multitudinous féet went through the shag, trucking and other steps of the big apple. A 50-legged dragon who carried an umbrella over his tail was the entry of the McKinley-Langdon Community Center. There was a group of giant balloon figures repre- senting local department stores, among them two bigger and better dragons, the larger about 100 feet long. Smartly uniformed and well drilled girls in the drill teams of Job's Daugliters formed an escort of honor to the queen and her retinue and no less than five girl drum majors led the 75-piece Capitol Theater Boys’ Band which accompanied them. Civic Groups Participate. Marching units, floats and decorated cars were entered by citizens associa- tions, schools, playgrounds, patriotic and veteran organizations and com- mercial establishments. The Depart- ment of Playgrounds’ float was sur- mounted by a giant revolving crown in which eight girls, dressed as queens, were set as jewels. The northern section playgrounds were represented by a float on which a giant golden horn of plenty poured out girls costumed as fruits and vege- tables. A monster pumpkin topped the float of the western section play- grounds. The new High School Traffic Clubs flaunted a declaration of war on aceldents on a float showing doctors and nurses working over & traffic vie- towed. There was applause along the line of march for the covered wagon float of Friendship House, a District Na- tional Guard float upon which a color guard stood in the glare of flood- lights, The Evening Star float fea- turing some of the 48 famous paint- ings, a G. E. Naylor float covered with huge blocks of ice into which were frozen fish, lobsters and crabs, and a Gunther's Brewing Co. float upon which rode another Halloween queen and her court. As colorful and varied as the floats were the marching units, ranging from the time-honored ghosts, witches, clowns, black cats, bats and hoboes to a drum and bugle corps of ghosts and skeletons entered by the Military Order of Cooties. Traffic Well Controlled. An elaborate system of traffic con- trol was put into effect to keep traf- fic moving before and after the pa- rade, metropolitan and park police being reinforced by National Guard officers and men and Boy Scouts in handling traffic and looking out for the safety of spectators and marchers. ‘While waiting for the parade, the crowd heard, over loudspeakers, brief remarks from Harry P. Sommerville, general chairman in charge of the celebration; Edward F. Colladay, president of the Board of Trade Commissioner Allen and Edgar Mor- ris, chairman of the Committee on Distinguished Guests. = Gordon Hit- tenmark contributed a running de- scription of the parade. Judges were Charles E. 6 Kurtz- man, costumed individual marchers; George Lohr, commercial floats; George Thompson civic floats; Mabel Mehaffey, decorated private vehicles; James M. Thurmond, bands, -and Anne Abbott, costumed group march- ers.

AIR FIGRTERS SET WORLD GOAL Spectacular New Pianes Add to America’s Tech- nical Supremacy. (Increased 1importance of air- planes in warfare is keeping tech- nicians of all powers busy secking more efficient fighting aircraft. Is the United States lagging or ahead in this race? The following Asso- ciated Press story gives the answer of military experts to this ques- tion.) By WILLIAM T. PEACOCK. Secretary of War Woodring says the Army’s airplanes are “the equal” of any other country's. Other military men, including avi- ation experts of foreign powers, take a less modest view. “The United States,” said one, “is a year ahead of the rest of the world. It is flying planes the others have only on paper.” Three new experimental planes brought out by the Army during the Jast three months emphasized its technical leadership of the world in | aviation and stirred intense interest | by aviation experts of other countries These planes, many of their details still secret, are: The XFM-1, a multi-seater fighter, departing radically from conventional | design, its propellers behind the wings. The XC-35, sub-stratosphere plane of sealed, pressure cabins, per- mitting flying at altitudes far higher than any other fighting plane. Larger Than “Flying Fortress.” The XB-15 bomber, a four-engined, 30-ton giant, larger even than the Army’s so-called “flying fortresse: which had been believed the most | advanced bombardment planes ever | a built, The propellers of the XFM-1 were placed behind the wings to permit gunners, one on each wing, 4 free| field of fire and observation to the | front—it is possible to synchronize machine gun fire through a whirling | propeller, but not the vision of the | gunner. | Unexpectedly, however, tests indi- cated this position of the propell gave increased efficiency by directing the air stream into the propellers. | The speed of this plane, a low- wing, all-metal monoplane, has not been disclosed. To be a successful {mh-rr, however, a plane must be | faster than its target and the War | Department indicated the XFM-1 was one of the fastest military craft in the world by tersely announcing “It is believed that this plane can | overhaul any air targets.” Heavy Armament. The XFM-1 carries six guns—more powerful armament than ever before placed on a fighter. also carries light bombs. It is so constructed that all mem- bers of the crew of five may inter- change places while in the air if | desired. Its two engines give it a fighting ceiling of over 30,000 feet. The XC-35 is not particularly novel except for its sealed cabin, oxygen equipment and supercharged engines. It can fight, however, at higher al- titudes than any other plane and Old Dominion Show’s Best International champion Briggus Princess, airedale terrier adjudged be:t in the second annual Old Dominion Kennel Club Dog Show at Fort Myer last night, poses with her trainer, Thomas M.

Activities of three Red Cross safety services have been greatly increased to aid in reducing the Nation's acele dental death toll, Admiral Cary T. Grayson, chairman, announced yes- terday. ‘Wide extension of first aid training and greater numbers of life savers trained, distribution of accident hazards lists to 7,000,000 farms and homes and establishment of 2,513 Red Cross emergency first aid stations on highways were described in the an- nual report just issued as measures in the safety campaign. Deaths through accidents in 1938 numbered 111,000, Admiral Grayson said. The Ohio and Mississippi Valley | floods, affecting a million and a half people, are estimated to have led | less than 100 persons through actual | drowning, he said In addition to the training in first | aid and life sav the Red Cross has adopted two new methods of approach to the problem of sa he added—the highway emergen sta« tions the home farm acci- dent prevention camy , aimed to point out the hazards farm and home.

Its high ceiling also permits the | plane to fly above unfavorable weather conditions The giant XB-15, still undergoing tests, is believed to be one of the greatest weight-carrying airplanes in the world. It is doubtful, however, whether it has the speed of the 250- miles-an-hour YB-17, the “flying fortress.” The Army has not yet disclosed the results of any speed tests. Design Partly Secret. Most of its specifications also have been kept secret, although the War Department has described it as| approximately 90 feet long, 18 feet in height and of 150-foot wingspread. | Its four engines each develop 1,000 horsepower. 1t is designed to have a great cruis- | ing range and has living and sleeping | quarters for the crew. These include a kitchenette. The living quarters are sound-proofed, heated and venti- lated.
