The new Simpson extension bill includes several concessions to the ‘Pennsylvania lawmaker which were acceptable to the adminis- tration. The bill would create a 17-man commission to study tariff and trade policies and report next year. Thus Simpson still can seek to thave his proposals included when ie administration determines upon its permanent tariff policy. | Increasing the Tariff Commis- sion to seven members had been proposed by Simpscn, Another concession is a provision cutting from one year to nine months the time allowed the Tar- tiff Commission in which ‘to act ‘upon a request for protection of an industry which complains it is being hurt by foreign imports. The more controversial features |of the original Simpson bill, now |to be considered separately, would jhave reduced the President’s tar- iff-cutting powers and would have required him to follow Tariff Com- mission findings in such matters, They also would have redefined the injury to U. S. businesses necessary to justify higher tariffs, making such actioa much easier; specifically raised tariffs on lead quotas and oil imports. JMINUM CILIE A\ fe) A\ Dick Arlen Plays Jet Flying General By BOB THOMAS HOLLYWOOD (#—Richard Arlen figures he has gone about as far as he can go in the air. He’s now Playing a general flying jets. The perennial juvenile has been up in the air since World War I, when he fiew in the RAF. After he got into the movies, he ap- peared with Buddy Rogers, Clara iBow and Gary Cooper (he had a |bit part) in “Wings,” the first great air picture. He has been in 10 or 12 flight films since then and is now playing in ‘‘Sabre Jet.” I dropped by the set to get his reflections on aeronautical matters, {both the real and the movie kind. T found him trim and youthful in his Air Force uniform. If anybody has found the fountain of youth, Arlen has. His records show he was born 52 years ago in Charlottes- ville, Va., but his lineless face can hold its own with today’s glamor boys. “I was crazy about flying as a kid” he recalled. “I was in high school in St. Paul during the first world war, and a bunch of us kids wanted to become fliers. The American Air Force wouldn’t take us because we were only 16, But an RAF recruiter came to town and we joined up. “We trained in Canada in the old Curtis Jenny. Then we were shipped to England, and we ex- Pected to get into combat right away. We didn’t know they were just holding us in reserve, in case they ran out of older pilots.” Arlen never saw action in that war, but he saw plenty for old Paramount in “Wings.” He almost lost his life four times in scrapes. “That was in 1927, before we had any process shots,” he remarked, “All the air shots had to be taken in the air. Buddy Rogers and I had cameras strapped on the front of our planes. When we got up in the air, we'd press a button and the cameras would roll. We had two mirrors in the cockpit so we could line up a plane behind us in the camera range.” Arlen recalled that the “Wings” company shot for nine months at the Army air base at San Antonio, Tex. They were flying Pis in those days. “We had some pretty good talent helping us in the air shots,” ihe actor added. “‘One of them was Lt. Hoyt Vandenberg and another was Capt. Hap Arnold.” Bela Lugosi Sued LOS ANGELES The wife of Bela Lugosi, star of horror films, has sued for divorce, charging cruelty, The former actress Lillian Arch and Lugosi, 68, have been mar- ried 20 years. She asked custody of their son, Bela George, 15, and $50 a month support for him, plus $1 a month temporary alimony, if JA VIEW HUTTERS C Yesterday’s Exaltation Marked Beginning Of Six Weeks Of Coronation Journeys By MILTON MARMOR LONDON (# — Queen Elizabeth when the tired thousands finally took to bed.

TOKYO (#—The Air Force has borrowed an idea from Navy car- riers and .is using it to save jets and pilots in Korea. Far East Air Forces headquar- ters said today that an aircraft ar- resting barrier—a net made of ny- lon webbing, steel cable and a heavy anchor chain—has been in use at a Korean air base since March 1 to stop crippled jets when they land after combat. Jets with their wing flaps shot away come in at a high speed and need a lot of runway to land. The net, which cost about $14,000 to construct, brings the $240,000 jets to an easy, gradual halt and pre- vents possible destruction. Air iorce experts in Japan adap- ted the net barrier to the landing field in a series of experiements. Barriers of the same type have been in use on Navy carriers since the jets went to sea. Two airstrips in Korea re equip- ped with the safety device and two in Japan will be equipped shortly, Queen Reigns In Her Iron Lung VISTA, Calif. wW—A queen In an} iron lung reigned in spirit at this | farm center's annval celebration | today. “I must be the only queen in} the world in a respirator,” said Mrs, June Hawkins, 36, a polio vi tim, | She. was in the county hospital at San Diego, unable to come in| person for the Vistacado (combina- | tion of Vista and Avocado) com-} munity fair, today thrugh Sunday Lois Foster, 15, was named to accept the crown for her.
