Parts in Wings Nearly Half of Airplane's Total CHICAGO (AP) The wings, seem ingly the simplest structure of an airplane, in reality are made up of nearly half of the 153,000 parts necessary to complete a modern tri-motor air liner. A count of parts In a trl -motor operated on a coast-to -coast route shows 140.000 parts exclusive of mo tors. Of this number 85.485 parts are standard rivets, bolts, screws and nuts. But there are 64,485 parts In this plane that had to be made from original drawings, and all parts must have one or more inspections, though the rivets are tested In lots by dip ping in a solution which causes them to turn black if of the re-, quired duralumin alloy. j - Malay States Cut Tin SINOAPORE.

(AP) Spain, through Jose Glral, minister of marine, has announced that she must be among the first consulted In whatever fu ture covenants are signed among world powers regarding the Medi terranean. Senor Glral, who was a member of the SpanlRh delegation to the dis armament conference In Geneva, said that a desire exists among France, Italy and other powers ao formulate a non-aggression Mediterranean pact. "I believe this Is already being re ferred to as the Mediterranean Lo carno among the nations with Inter ests In that sea," he said. Better Navy Planned "Spain," Glral added, "must be among the principal signatories of such a covenant because of her ex tensive Interests In It. The Spanish minister returned from Geneva so that he could per sonally defend his department's bud get before Vie national assembly. In final form It gives the navy some $23,000,000 for 1932. The construc tion program, although reduced from 1931, follows Ideas advanced In the last days of the monarch, concentrat ing on cruisers, destroyers and sub marines. The budget debate served to crys tallize sentiment for an efficient navy, several deputies pointing out that, while the republic's constitu tion renounces war as a national policy, It does not proscribe an ade quate national defense. The naval program. In fact. Is closely allied to the policy which Premier Manuel Azana, as minister of war, Is following In modernizing the army. He recently said that his reductions In the numbers of officers and other measures meant only the discarding of "paper soldiers of the monarchy" without Impairing fight ing strength. Repairs Battleships Similarly Senor Glral scrapped four gunboats, a cruiser and two destroy ers, all obsolete, and used the money thus saved to put Into tip-top con dition the Jaime I and the Espana, the nation's largest battleships. Plan are being laid for a gala naval review off Vigo. It will be the first such affairs since Alfonso XIII reviewed the fleet In September, 1030. The premier Is also beginning to talk about a large air force as a ne cessity for the protection of Spain's lengthy coast line. But he added: "The least expensive plan I have studied would cost e 7, 000 .000 in im mediate expenditures, which is too much for the country to bear at present." Powerful Drama Is Craterian Feature The most powerful picture of Its kind ever presented on any local screen is showing at the Fox Cra terian today and tomorrow.

Z up In his true light, and his elimi nation and extinction is certain and sure. Paul Muni, noted for his great portrayals In "The Valiant." "Seven Faces' and other fine plays, Is the central star. As "overlord" of gang dom, he is a typical brutal, Mstlal killer deserving of no sympathy, snd getting none. Karen Morley and Ann Dvorak, the "two girls tn the case." depict their respective roles perfectly. Another attraction on this pro gram Is the comedy "Pro and Cor." . . , and It Is a scream of laughter throughout. Madge DeLwaux also entertains with a splendid piano novelty selection. Cohens and Kellys In Holly Picture California Is supposed to be the Land of Sunshine. When "The Co hens and Kellys In Hollywood," which is appearing at the Holly theatre, was being made at Universal City, It had to leave all the characteristics of Hollywood. Everyone In the world knows that screen stars have bathing pools. It was real Cohen and Kelly luck to have the bathing scenes film ed while Hollywood was having Its "very unusual" snow storm this win ter. A filter had to be used to elim inate the snow from the scene, but that did not help the seventy-five girls who flitted about the pool Itself in flimsy bathing suits. POISON GAS KILLS LIVER MORE, Cal, (AP) Poison gas Is being used In Alameda county to kill rodents. T. S. McGraw, In charge of the work, has found It better than poison grain.

Tests proved It 9fl per cent efficient, while grain Is from 40 to 60 per cent effective. Twelve sacks of straw are used as fuel, and the machine operates at a capacity of 40 pounds of crude BUlphur a day. Several lines of hose are inserted in squirrel holes and the gas pumped In after being gene rated In a steel tank.

(AP) Out here In the upper reaches of the Ob river basin, "Comrade Kail- j nlna." wife of the nominal head of the soviet union.

Many Acres In Farm She manages several thousand acres devoted chiefly to wheat and known, in communist parlance, as a "state grain factory." Responsibility for the entire enter prise rests on her stocky frame. She must handle finances and account ing, manage the labor, oversee all op erations from plowing to reaping and supervise the all-Important mechani cal equipment of tractors and com bines. She has assistants, or fore men, In each branch, but the main burden Is hers. This spring her cares have been Increased by a shortage of seed, due to Inadequate transportation In all regions as remote as this. But It la up to her to see that somehow the situ ation Is met so that the farm may produce Its quota. Dresses for Part Wearing the long, felt over-boots affected by all Russians In cold weather, and attired in rough peas ant clothing, including the tradition al shawl wrapped around the head and neck for warmth, she labors long hours to see that the 1,000 men and women under her keep pace with the rapid tempo assigned the farm under the five year plan. Pew of her co-workers know her true Identity or would care about It If they did. In soviet Russia there is no rank and only results count. Besides, In their eyes "Comrade Kal inina Is doing nothing unusual for thousands of women are contributing their efforts to socialist construction and many of them manage farms. The 48-year-old "Comrade Kali nina" worked In a bottle factory be fore the revolution.
