POPE’S LABOR
EDICT LASHES
GREED OF RICH
Calls for Unity of Capita!
and Workers for Their
Mutual Welfare.
HARD, CRUEL DESPOTS’
Desire for Power Brings
Conflicts, Pontiff Warns
in Encyclical.
By United Press
VATICAN CITY, May 23.—A call
for unity of labor and capital In the
Interest of their common welfare
was sounded today by publication
of the full text of the new encycli
cal of Pope Plus XI, summarized in
a radio address May 15 and supple
menting the board platform of Pope
Leo XIII In his ‘‘rerum novarum”
of 1891.
While adhering to the antl-So
cialistic stand of his predecessor and
once more enunciating the principle
of private property, Pope Pius made
a thoroughly modem interpretation
of economic trends and dangers.
He warned against the menace of
despotic power “in the hands of
those who, possessing money, domi
nate and control loans” and showed
how this led to struggles for eco
nomic supremacy for political pow
er and between states.
Modern “Greed for Power"
“Greed for power has succeeded
desire for wealth ,and our whole
economy thus has become terribly
hard, inexorable and cruel,” said
the encyclical.
“Profit-sharing plans for the
benefit of labor were inorsed and
it was pointed out that “wealth
solely is produced through the
workers’ labor, either manual or
mechanical.”
Sketching the history of the rela
tions between capital and labor, the
encyclical said:
“For a long time capital appro
priated so much that it left the
worker a barely sufficient amount
for existence. It was the change
less law that wealth belonged to
the rich and the workers must re
main pereptually of the proletariat?*
living a poor, miserable existence.
It is no wonder these false views
have been opposed.”
Fair Wage Is Urged
The encyclical, considered the
most significant economic pro
nouncement of the church since the
time of Leo XIII, calls for the re
construction of the world’s entire
economic system to bring about a
more equitable distribution of
wealth between capital and labor.
The encyclical adhered to the
historic division between the classes
of capital and labor, holding that
the Creator decreed such a division
and that it was forever unchange
able, but it was made clear that
there be a gradin-up of the condi
ions of the lower levels of mankind
in order that they might enjoy the
benefits of modren improvements
and greater productivity.
Underlying the entire document
was apparent the desire that the
laborer be granted a fair wage,
compatible with the requirements
of social justice, even though this
entailed a reconstruction of the
present economic system.
Menace Seen In Trusts
Referring to th emenace of trusts
and the accumulation of wealth
and power, the encyclical said:
"This power becomes despotic in
the hands of those who, possessing
money, dominate credit and control
loans. Sue hpeople are, in a sense,
distributors of the blood whereby
the economic organism lives. They
have the soul of economy in their
hands; no one can breathe without
their permission. Thus there is a
concentration of power.
“This si the resutl of a temporary
economy with uneestrained competi
tion, allowing only the strongest to
survive. That is most violent and
most conscienceless.
Three Kinds of Struggle
“This concentration of wealthy
generates three kinds of struggles.
First, for economic supremacy; sec
ond, for political power, and thirdly,
a struggle between states.
“Free competition has destroyed
Itself. Economic hegemony has
taken the place of freedom of mar
kets. Greed for power has suc
ceeded to desire for wealth, and our
whole economy has thus become ter
ribly hard, inexorable and cruel.”

Flying Future
One of America’s most fa
mous aviators has written a
splendid series for NEA and
The Times on “The Future of
Aviation.” He is John A.
Macready, former chief test
pilot for the army at McCook
field, Dayton, and holder of
several altitude records.
Interest of the nation today
is being centered on aviation,
because of the great army
maneuvers with nearly 700
planes moving in a mass for
mation to “attack” Chicago,
New York and other big cities.
Macready became interested
in aviation at? the beginning of
the World war. After his
graduation from Stanford he
obtained a commission in the
air sendee, and was in charge
of flying at Brooks field.
In 1921 he began his record
breaking altitude flights. Dur
ing his service at Dayton, he
made fifty flights above 30,000
feet and ten above 35,000. In
1923 he made the first nonstop
flight from New York to San *
Diego.
He resigned from the army
in 1926 to enter commercial
aviation work.
The first article, “Air Pas
senger Travel to Cost Less
Rail Travel,” will appear
Monday in The Times.
GIANT FLEET 1
OF AIR SET TO
ATTACK N. Y.
Area Now Inhabited by
10,000,000 Persons to
Be ‘Wiped Out.’
FLYING FIELDS SOGGY
Steady Rain During Night
to Make Problems More
Trying for Aviators.
By United Press
NEW YORK, May 23.—The ele
ments were a big factor in decree
ing today whether the largest city
in the United States, theoretically,
will be destroyed in a massed at
tack by 671 airplanes—the greatest
and most impressive aerial demon
stration ever held by the United
States army.
Nearly the entire complement of
the army’s air forces were grouped
at five airports surrounding Man
hattan today, awaiting the word
which will send them into the air
to “wipe out” an area Inhabited by
some 10,000,000 persons.
An almost continuous rain through
out the night, mixed with thunder
and lightning, left the fields
drenched and soggy today, making
takeoffs and landings extremely
hazardous.
“Demolished” Other Cities
However, the weather forecaster
predicted a strong sun would soon
dry up the fielcft and the planes
would be able to take off on schedule
for the massed attack.
The massive peace-time air as
semblage, composed of bombers, ob
servation, pursuit and attack planes,
landed at the airports on Long
Island Friday after completing more
than 1,000,000 air miles since last
Friday, during which time the craft
either “demolished” or “protected”
many cities in the middle west, in
cluding Chicago.
When Brigadier-General Benjamin
D. Faulois flashes the word, planes
will take off from Roosevelt Field
No. No. 1 and No. 2, Mitchell Field,
Valley stream airport and Farming
dale. flying up Long Island and
across Long Island sound into Con
necticut.
Combat Mythical Air Fleet
There they will loiter around in
the air until the entire assemblage
is present. The corps will then
move down the Hudson rivet* in a
parade nearly twenty miles long.
The first unit is scheduled to
reach New York City shortly be
fore 3 o’clock. The fleet will then
spread out into two tiers, led by
the pursuit group and closing with
the national guard units.
Over upper New York bay, a com
posite demonstration group of the
army air corps will engage in com
bat with the mythical enemy planes
which are attempting to bombard
the city.
The remained of the assemblage
will skirt Brooklyn and fly over
Barren island to take part in the
formal dedication by Mayor James
J. Walker of the Floyd Bennett air
port, the city’s first municipally
owned and operated air terminal.
The planes will then dip in fare
well salute and soar high into the
skies again to fly back to their
temporary airports, before again
taking off for an attack on Boston
and New England.
The giant panorama will be
broadcast by three radio networks
and witnessed by several million
persons in New Jersey, Connecticut
and New York. One of the broad
casts will be made from the world’s
tallest building—the Empire State.
Others will be from special planes.

Climax of Trial Comes as
Youth on Stand, Denies
Killing Girl.
By United Press
VALPARAISO, Ind., May 23.
Attorneys for Virgil Kir 1 today
planned presentation o' testimony
which they hoped would clear the
20-year-old Gary high school ath
lete of charges of murdering Arlene
Draves,
The climax of the trial, which is
Kirkland’s second, came late Fri
day, when the youth denied all
charges against him, although ad
mitting he had been intimate with
Miss Draves, whom he professed to
love, at the Gary liquor orgy last
autumn, which ended in her death.
“I loved her,” Kirkland told the
jury. “We were engaged to be
married. I couldn’t have killed
her.”
He denied charges that he had
attacked her or invited his “pals”
to do so.
Answering questions of Prosecu
tor John Underwood, he said Ar
lene consented to his advances at
the party and previous, but said:
“I didn’t know any one else had
attacked her that night.”
He said Miss Draves became in
toxicated at the fatal party, attend
ed by 17 others, and fell from a
chair.
Kirkland said he slapped her sev
eral times in an effort to bring her
out of a “drunken stupor.”
“I knew Babe for three years,”
said Kirkland after he composedly
had detailed his early life and told
how he became a star high school
football player, therebzy attracting
Miss Draves’ attention.
“I dater her about twice a week
all during that time,” he continued.
Kirkland added that he had been
intimate with her on perhaps a
score of occasions.
Kirkland told of a “strip-poker”
game which he said he played with
Miss Draves, a girl named Dorothy!
Holmes and John Churchill, a Gary
youth who testified against him. He
said they played a “few hands.” but
that when the girls were reduced to
their underclothing they refused to
play longer.

How the Market
Opened
NEW YORK, May 23.—Stocks
moved irregularly in a narrow trad
ing range through initial dealings
today with little change shown from
the preceding session.
Fractional gains were made in
various trading favorites such as
General Motors, Bethlehem Steel,
Columbia Gas, National Biscuit and
American and Foreign Power. These
were offset by easiness in other sec
tions. Steel common opened % point
lower, at 9914 on a sale of 4,000
shares and later recovered.
Selling in the latter continued to
reflect uneasiness aroused by Pres
ident Farrell’s remarks regarding
price cutting before the American
Iron and Steel institute Friday.
Other issues to suffer fractional re
cessions included American Tele
phone, Auburn, Radio-Keith, J. I.
Case and North American.
Trading was lethargic with deal
ings in the first half hour around
the lowest levels of the current bear
market. Dullness reflected the small
speculative interest in the proceed
ings and further diminution of pub
lic interest.
Most activity comprised trading
in a few special shares. Continental
shares responded to overnight ad
vices that a group of prominent
Cleveland financiers had taken an
important long position in the stock,
advancing fractionally to the $6 level
compared with its recent low of $3.50.
Alaska Juneau, on the other hand,
sold off nearly a point on suspension
of pool activity.

DUALSLAYING
Brunet Hotel Owner Is
Believed to Hold Key in
Mystery Crime.
FUNERAL TO BE LAVISH
Political Czar, Killed With
Reporter, Held Great
Power on Coast.
*
BY RONALD W. WAGONER
United Press Staff Correspondent
LOS ANGELES, May 23.—A
“beautiful brunet” was sought by
police today in the belief that she
might furnish a key to the mystery
killing of Charles Crawford and
Herbert Spencer, in connection with
which David H. Clark, brilliant
young attorney, has been charged
with murder.
The woman, June Taylor, 28,
owner of the Clinton hotel in down
town Los Angeles, had been miss
ing since Thursday night, police
said. They believed she was a con
fidante of Clark and the opinion
was expressed that she might be
able to tell of his whereabouts from
4:30 last Wednesday until 11 o’clock
Thursday night, when he surren
dered to District Attorney Buron
Fitts.
Police said Miss Taylor was a
former associate of Albert Marco,
sent to San Quentin by Clark about
five years ago in the young attor
ney’s first big battle against the
underworld as a prosecutor.
Innocent, Says Wife
“We believe Miss Taylor can give
us some valuable information on
Clark’s movements after Spencer
and Crawford were shot,” said Blay
ney Matthews, Fitts’ chief investi
gator.
Clark’s wife Nancy, the daughter
of a late circuit Judge of Long Is
land, said she was convinced of her
husband’s innocence. Her sister,
Miss Molly Malone, supported her
contention.
“My sister and I believe that
maybe Dave visited Mr. Crawford
and that something terrible hap
pened that, even though he was in
nocent, put Dave in such an in
criminating position that he hid un
til he could protect himself,” Mrs.
Clark said.
“Or maybe he wasn't even there,”
she added. “I know very little about
Dave’s affairs.
Clark continued his defense plans
j for a preliminary hearing next
Thursday. He was arraigned late
Friday.
Arrange Lavish Funeral
While Clark maintained a smiling
silence and the law sought to clear
up mysterious angles of the case,
plans were completed for burial to
day of “Good Time” Charlies Craw
ford, the “Grey Wolf of Spring
Street,” and Herb Spencer, the
mild-mannered newspaper man.
Crawford’s body lay in a $15,000
casket. Late in the afternoon, the
Rev. Gustav Briegleb, who convert
ed Crawford a few months ago, will
conduct the services at St. Paul’s
Presbyterian church.
It was in this church that the
"Grey Wolf” startled Los Angeles
when he announced he had “seen
the light” and dropped a huge dia
mond ring into the collection box.
He followed this with a $25,000 do
nation and was said to have made
other gifts.
Twenty years ago Crawford came
to Los Angeles as a bartender in a
small saloon. His customers learned
that Charlie was bom in Ohio, but
details of his past were a closed
book.
Enriched by Gaming
Crawford owned the saloon before
he decided that more fertile fields
were presented in Seattle. For sev
eral years he operated In the north
ern city. Then the police chief was
ousted and a political ring smashed.
Crawford moved back to Los An
geles in 1919.
Prohibition had ended the saloon
business, so Crawford turned to
gambling. His fortune grew and he
turned business man on the side. He
made much in the Los Angeles real
estate boom.
His name was linked with that of
Marco and later with Guy McAfee,
present gambling power in the city.
Rumors were that Crawford and
McAfee were estranged when Craw
ford was shot, but McAfee declared
everything had been patched up.
The peak of Crawford’s power
came when he backed George Cryer,
a dark horse candidate for mayor.
Cryer won and Crawford was known
as the “ghost behind the city hall.”
Kept Political Power
It was said in politics that it
didn't pay to buck Charlie Craw
ford. Councilman Carl I. Jacob
son started a vice crusade during
the Cryer administration and sud
denly was arrested on a morals
count. He was acquitted and
charged Crawford with framing
him. Crawford also was acquitted.
Although Crawford and Dr.
Briegleb declared the former’s po
litical ambitions ended when he
joined the church, the city hall
crowd never was convinced.
Spencer, scion of a California
family of the ’49 gold rush, former
city editor of the Evening Express
and associate editor of the Critic of
Critics, a liberal magazine which
threatened to expose "rackets,” will
be buried in Mountain View ceme
tery. Married twice, both Spencer's
widows and three children survive
him.

willing to pay for good testimony,”

TWO CENTS
SPEED TRIALS
STARTED FOR
500-MILE SPIN
Drivers Line Up Today for
Qualification Tests;
68 Entries.
THRONG TO BE PRESENT
Eliminations Will Cut List
to Forty for Grind on
Decoration Day.
Clear skies and wanner weather
sent thousands of speed fans
thronging to the Indianapolis
Motor Speedway today, for start
of trials which will determine the
opening lineup for the annual 500-
mile gasoline and oil gallop next
Saturday.
Dave Evans, star veteran, was on
the “line” early this morning and
he hoped to be given the “right
of way” in his Diesel car exactly
at 10 o’clock, starting time for
qualifications.
The Cummins’ Diesel is the only
car of the remaining sixty-eight
entries which has been exempted
from the ninety-mile-an-hour speed
necessary for qualification. The
Diesel has to make only eighty
miles an hour to win itself a place
in the starting lineup Decoration
day.
Forty Allowed to Start
Forty cars are permitted to start
in the grind and that left thirty
nine places open for gasoline-en
gined cars. The original entry list
totaled seventy-two, but four cars
were withdrawn late this week be
cause the machines could not be
made ready in time.
Should more than forty cars
qualify, the slowest qualifiers, not
including the Diesel, will be stricken
from the lists.
A brilliant battle of speed was
promised for the coveted “pole” po
sition. At least four drivers were
ranked as possibilities for No. 1 in
the front row and a fifth may break
into the fast competition.
Louis Meyer, who turned a lap
Thursday afternoon at more than
117 miles an hour; Shorty Cantlon,
Billy Arnold and Wild Bill Cum
mings were those conceded to be in
the race for the pole, and it was
predicted that should Leon Duray’s
car have the “stuff,” Duray also
would be in the thick of it.
All Heroes of Past Races
Meyer won the race In 1928 and
; finished second in 1929. Both years
I ne was A. A. A. champion. Cantlon
I finished second last year. Arnold
won the race last year. Duray is
holder of the one-lap and four-lap
qualification records. Cummings,
star Indianapolis driver, is one of
the newer and more popular of the
drivers.
Other drivers who expected to put
their cars into the qualification lists
were Ernie Triplett, Buckeye-Dues
enberg; Russel Snowberger, Russell
Eight; Babe Stapp, Rigling & Hen
ning Duesenberg; Paul Bost, Empire
State Special; Louis Schneider and
Tony Gulotta, Bowes Seal Fact Spe
cials; Joe Caccia, Jones-Maley Spe
cial; L. L. Corum, co-winner in the
1924 race, Stutz Bearcat; Phil Shaf
er, Miller, and Deacon Litz, Hank
Maley Duesenberg.
Meyer Is Favorite
Meyer was the favorite among
the guessers, and his sixteen-cylin
der mount is said to be capable of
more than 118 miles an hour. It
is the same car he used in last
year’s race. Cantlon’s machine is
a sixteen-cylinder, rear-drive, also,
and is the Harry Miller Special.
It is owned by Bill White.
Arnold’s car is the Miller-Harts
front-drive eight which carried him
to victory in 1930, and Cummings’
car is a front-drive eight. Cum
mings, however, is undecided among
the two Empire State Specials, and
indicated early today he might
drive the rear-drive mount.
Duray’s car is a racing “freak.’*
It is a sixtsen-cylindered two-cycle
motor, of his own design. Two are
entered, the other to be driven by
Cliff Durant, the millionaire who
drives race cars as a sport.
Four Laps Necessary
In ihe qualifications, four laps are
necessary, the time for each lap be
ing totaled and the average speed
computed. The cars are timed elec
trically by Odis A. Porter's chrono
meter in the press pagoda. Porter,
chief timer, is assisted in the trials
by S. J. Williams, chief scorer, and
Chester Ricker, director of scoring
and timing.
W. E. Edenburn, A. A. A. rep
resentative, is in charge of qualifi
cations and the race. Edenburn an
nounced that no cars will be
qualified after Wednesday sundown,
and that the "usual late boys are
going to find it just too bad.”
Only one accident has marred the
qualifications, that late Thursday
afternoon, when Frank Brisko of
Milwaukee dived into a wall on the
north turn, and ruined the front
end of his car. Brisko may be
ready Wednesday.
In the Air
Weather conditions at 9 a.m.:
North wind, 9 miles an hour; tea*
perature, 51; barometric pressure,
30.34 at sea level; ceiling, broken
cloudiness, unlimited; visibility, 10
