MILAN. Italy. August 9.—A definite
agreement between the Ford interests j
in Italy and the Isotta-Fraschini Works
for active co-operation was reliably re
ported yesterday to have been reached.
To meet the increased Italian duties
on American automobiles, it Is under
stood that Ford dealers throughout
Italy will sacrific a third or three
eighths of their commissions on sales,
the home plant reducing the f.o.b. De
troit price accordingly.
The Italian partners In the new com
bine are reported to be interceding with

on the importation of chassis and some

assembling and marking of the new•
“Italianized" Fords will begin here
within eight on nine months
Once the Italian market is satisfied,
the combined companies will probably
concentrate on the Balkan and the
Near East trade.

HOOVER PLEASED
BY MINING PACT
Sends Congratulations to
Operators and Workers as
Agreement Is Signed.
By the Associated Pres*.
SCRANTON. Pa.. August 9—The
anthracite operators and the United
Mine Workers of America were con- j
gratulated by President Hoover upon
their having negotiated a new five and
a half year contract in a message read
last night at the public signing of the
pact here. Secretary of Labor James
L. Davis, who presided at the mam
moth mass meeting, read the message.
It follows:
"You will convey my' personal con
gratulations to the representatives of
the operators and miners assembled at
Scranton this evening for the formal
signing of the new five and one half
year joint agreement in the anthra
cite field. The final ratification and
signing of this agreement comprehends
that spirit of joint relationship and
co-operation management and men so
essential in productive endeavor, and,
I especially, in the anthracite industry.
Peace Period Gratifying.
“That you may look forward to a
period of uninterrupted peace for more
than five years will be very gratifying
not only to those directly engaged in
the mining and selling of anthracite'
coal, but as well, to the public at large,
the Government, and all who are
genuinely interested in the well-being
and advancement of the anthracite
industry.
“This pact of peace will have bene
ficial effects upon transportation,
manufacturing and other business ac
tivities which are directly affected by
conditions in this particular industry.
The example set by you is commenda
tory and will go a long way toward
stimulating that spirit of good will and
co-operation so necessary In the con
duct of our great industrial enter
prises.”
More than 2,500 jammed Masonic
Temple Auditorium to witness the sign
ing of the pact.
Signing Made Holiday.
Scranton made the signing of the
pact a holiday. Flags flew from public
buildings.
Secretary of Labor Davis predicted
“a new era of prosperity for the an
thracite industry of this country."
"This agreement,” he said, “puts both
of the parties in a position to demon
strate that a supply of coal sufficient
to meet the needs of the people will be
forthcoming at all times and under all
! occasions.”

He Also May Summon
George W. Olvany.
By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August District At
torney Crain announced today that ‘
“if necessary or desirable" he would 1
summon Mayor Walker and Oeorge W. j
Olvany, former leader of ■Tammany
Hall, to testify in the grand jury in- j
vestigation of charges that George F. !
Ewald paid $12,000 to be appointed a
city magistrate.
Mayor Walker was quoted as saying |
he would be glad to help and that al
though he could not be compelled to
answer questions about the Ewald ap
pointment he would do so.
Crain said necessity for obtaining the
testimony of the mayor and Olvany j
had not arisen, but that if it should i
he would not hesitate to call them.
Ewald resigned from the municipal j
bench after a Federal grand jury indi- ;
cated him for using the mails to de
fraud in the sale of stock of the Cotter
Butte Mines.
Mrs. Bertha Ewald, w'ife of the re
signed City Magistrate, explained yes
terday to the district attorney why she

She said, according to District Attor
ney Crain, that she decided to buy a
home for herself, her husband and her
parents and borrowed $5,000 from her
father, with whom she was in the mo- ;
tion picture business.
She got a check for the amount, she
said, and after cashing it she was vis
ited by Tommaney. who said Martin J.
Healy. deputy commissioner of plant
and structures and a Tammany leader,!
wanted to buy a house, but was short
j of cash. She gave Tommaney the $5,000
cash and a check for an equal amount, 1
j she declared, getting in return a note I
; payable in May, 1932, and bearing no
interest.
She insisted that her husband knew
nothing of her transaction with Tom- i
maney.
Mr. Crain’s office, as well as a Fed- 1
eral grand jury, have been inquiring !
Into charges that Ewald paid SIO,OOO for
his appointment to the magistracy.

COOLIDGE ARTICLE
IRKS NAVY DEPT.
High Officials Deny Best Air
plane Engine Is Made
Abroad.
B» the Associated Press.
The Navy Department which not so
long ago took Mr. Calvin Coolidge’s
slightest word as law, tod:v was on
record with an objection to a pronounce
ment of the former President.
In a recent syndicated article by Mr.
Coolidge dealing with aircraft there oc
curred the sentence:
"A Navy office reports that the best
engine is made abroad."
The Navy has long prided itself that
it has the beat airplane engines ever
made. artd two of its high officials—
Acting Secretary Jahncke and Rear
Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of
the Bureau of Aeronautics —were quick
tr say so after reading the Coolidge
article.
A typographical error, however, may
be responsible for the conflict. If Mr.
Coolidge Intended to say "officer" in
stead of “office” there would be little
cause for complaint on the part of the
Navy, for one of its officers—Lieut.
T. W. G. Settle, noted balloonist—re
cently observed in an article that a
German engine was the only dirigible
power plant so far fully tried and de
veloped. The Coolidge article started
with a reference to the flight of the
R-100. though it discussed aviation in
general.
The air-cooled engines which the Navy
helped develop, said Mr. Jahncke, "are
without superiors anywhere in the world,
and are produced In quantities by sev
eral American aircraft manufacturing
concerns.”
Moffet said there were only two ex
ceptions to American aircraft engine
superiority: The German Maybach
lighter-than-aircraft engine and soma
airplane motors of more than 1,000
horsepower developed abroad as a result
of Schneider Cup competition.
He added also that the Navy hoped
to avoid using the Maybach engine* to
its new dirigibles by the development of
heavy oil-burning motors in this country.
Pour-fifths of the rubber bands used
in Argentina are from America.
Mr. Pyle sayt:
Beware
yjspf) of Moth
Damage!
Every year the moths lay
their eggs in rugs, blankets and
the like and the only way to
eliminate them successfully is to
thoroughly clean the articles ex
| posed. Rugs and carpets should
be free of moth eggs BEFORE
they are stored.
