In the last year four screen nota bles -have taken Into their hearts and homes six homeless children, and lour of the youngsters, by legal adoption, now are their sons and daughters.

Their own child lost to them several years ago, the SummerviUes 1 found the youngster through an or phanage.

W) Dave Meek, lanky freshman shot-put aspirant, has created enthusiasm In University of California track circles, by rais ing his mark from around 42 feet to 45 feet 9 Inches in his first three weeks of practice. By Oscar Leldlng (Associated Press Aviation Editor) DETROIT Mar. 1 () As in the motoring world, so In the aviation world, the dominating question of early 1033 is: "What has Ford got?1 The national aircraft show, to be held April 2-10 In Detroit, will bring an answer to the flying fraternity in -the form of a new aerial levia than. , .... For three years Ford has been en gaged In the development of a mon ster transport plane, for the : most part shrouding- the product in sec recy. - Little will be known until the show opens, but it is understood that a multi-motored ship capable of carrying more passengers than any other American x plane will be Intro duced. ; Further, It has been learned that the ship will be provided with berths for ubo by night travelers. As far back as a year ago, the plane was understood to be under development as a 38-place vehicle but changes may have been made since that time. This plane will add significance to ,tho air transport theme of the 1032 show which, more than ever, will be dedicated to selling the -Idea of in creased usrf of: aviation by the pub lic for passenger travel, ; mall, and express. Another significant trend that may be forecast by the new Ford Is that large planes, catering to comfort of passengers traveling for long dis tances, are the "coming thing." Again, aviation Is taking a leaf from the book of experiences of the motor ing world and of the railroad In dustry as well. One of the means by which: the show expects to build interest in scheduled air transport will be an International model air transport line to be run over a 60-mlle, American- Canadian closed circuit. In the show Itself, which Is spon sored by the Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce, aviation's latest pro ducts will be on display.' There will be larger ships for the air transport operator and smaller planes, many of them In the class of medium priced automobiles, for the private owner.

PAPER DROPS ITS POLITICS TO SUPPORT EX-EMPLOYE WASHINGTON; Mar. 31 W) -Rail road loans by the Reconstruction Finance corporation were condemned in the senate Wednesday by Chair man Couzens, of the Interstate com merce committee. Pointing specifically to the recent loan of $12,800,000 to the Missouri Paclfio railroad. Couzens said the market value of the securities pro duced by this railroad was only 912,450,000. He also called attention that the Reconstruction corporation adopted a resolution approving the loan and submitting It to the Interstate com merce commission before asking thai lurmui approval qi ins lacier. The commission thon approvod tho loan "with reluctance." I have no knowledge," said Coup ons, "of congress having declared a ! policy, of government ownership of the railroads, and yet the loan to the Missouri Paclfio and others that have been approved, and others still i pending clearly Indicate to mo that if loans are continued In the same manner as they have been In the past, many of these properties will eventually revert to the government or the government will lose Its in vestment. The government will at loast find itself In possession of the least de sirable .and least profitable rail roads." Couzens said the Interstate com merce commission had approved many fees charged by "money mer chants" for financing the railroads on the ground that they stood back of the carriers and were of great value to them. This has proven a false conclu sion because they are not standing back of them," Couzens said. "This Is particularly truo of the Now York Central, considered one of tho strong est of the, roads because It has had to borrow 94,300,000 In spite of the fact that Morgan and company has always profited to a large extent from financing It." The Pennsylvania, Couzens said, had also asked for a loan of 965,000, 000 which he called further proof that the theory had not worked out. Many of tho railroads which have applied for loans, Couzens added, have not earned as much as 30 per cent of their operating expenses dur lng 1931. Ho said If the present economic situation lasted two and a half or three years, all tho roads would bo applying for loans, not only the weaker lines. : Menus Of The 1 Da Work quickly with pi crust and It is better to snaps it with tha hands In place of rolling out time and time again.
