Count Charles do Broduevilie. the premier, will hand in the re- signations of his ministers at the opening of parliament tomorrow because of dissensicn over the gov- ernment's drastic plans for na- tional recovery.

It was considered likely in pol- ltical circles that King Leopold would ask Emile Franqui to be- come financial dictator as he did in 192d when he stabilised the franc, and lad the country with a firm hand along the road to rc-

Another wave swept away the vessel's e-mpass, and the dour.- less skipper held to his course by occasional glimpses of the stars through flying clouds.

After he had stood for 28 hours without a wheel the crew finally disobeyed his orders. Sailors tore him from his post, carried him be- low and revived him with hot drinks.

MANILLA, Nov. il-Flrst Mats Charles Carton has a hero's place in marine annals to show today for his eight minutes cf desperate work that saved the tanker Larry Dohcny in a gale raging 90 to 100 miles an hour.

His skipper, Captain J. Wilder, after bringing his ship limping in- to port, told how First Mate Car- ton rigged an emergency steering gear on the tanker after she was struck in mid-Pacific October Ill by a wave "e5 to '10 feet high.”

"I can't say accurately but I be- licve the wave was as high as our masts and they are es to '10 feet." the skipper said. "I was on the bridge. which is es feet. and had to lock up to see the tcp of the wave. which missed me and struck the deck aft. The steering gear and wireless were crippled.

"First Mate Carton volunteered to make an emergency steering gear and succeed ' after eight minutes, while the wind roared 00 lo 100 miles an hour. This enabled us to cutride the storm although the high wind continued for near- ly l0 hours. never being less than '15 miles an hour"

Jafsie Knew Haup tm ann Innocent?

(A. an Guardhn‘ a wit.» y s pcclll

Bruno Richard Hauptinannl de- fence late today advanced the claim that m. John l‘. ocndcn, tba white- baucd Jafsla of the ransom negotia- tions, gave the Lindbergh kidnap- alaying suspect to understand that he “knew” ha was innocent of the crime

It was during the hour and a half interview the aged Bmnk education- lst had with H uptmann the day the suspect was formally arraigned on the murder charge that he “indica- ted" his knowledge of Ha innocence, the defence stated, quot- ing Heuptmarm on the impression Jafsie had given him.

This was an entirely new version of that interview three weeks ago, for two days after it occurred a very high state authority revealed that Dr. Condon had come away from Hauptmsnnb cell convinced he had been talking to the man in whom as the mysterious "John" he had paid the $50,000 ransom for the Lindbergh baby's safe return.

Construction Program Proposed to Presi- dent’s Aviation Commission.

(Copyright i934 by the Associated Press)

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

WASHINGION, Nov. IL-Prompt construction of two giant airships, an aircraft carrier and a "flylnl- deck" cruise;- unllke any other ship now afloat was browsed Privately today to President Roosevelt's avia- tion commission.

The a ommendations were deliv- ered by a man generally regarded as an edmisistration , ‘cs chairman Carl Vinson oi’ the House of Representatives naval affairs committee.

“The navy needs more tenders for patrol planes." Swanson said. "It also needs more shore bases for these planes in the 1oca.l- ities which are of strategic im- portance. The function of pa- trolling the seas for the protaction of our lines of sea communications ia purely a naval function, of which naval aviation is an essential part."

Swanson declared himself "oP- poud to a separate (or unified) air force," asserting that "an adcqllfl" navy, including its iridespcnsible naval aviation, is the surest de- fence for the United States and its overseas posseuicns."

Vinson’! statement was inserted in the record as the mnlisslon first took up naval aviation. In February, the commission will sug- gest to Hresldent Roosevelt step! necessa y for a unified aviation pol-

rem paid their taXdl will do so. OcunI .

Briefly, Vinson urged:

l. Construction of one airship to replace the Akron and another to take the place of the Ins Ankclel-

z. Building or a icon-ton lir- craft carrier to rclflwc "h! 01d "id obsolete Langley.

3. Quick launching of a cruiser with a deck on which eercounee may land and from which they I'M-y take Ofl’, so as to "determine defl- nitely the naval value or this type of ship with a view to extendind the usefulness of the cruiser class."

4. Provision of funds for cxllan- sion of naval shore stations.

ii. Continuance of the present awe-aeroplane programme on a five-to-scven-(year basis.

FRANCE FEARS AIR STRENGTH IIF GERMANY

Defence Ministers Will Ask Parliament For Additional Appro- priations to M e e t German Menace.

(By John Evans, Associated Press Foreign Staff)

PARIS, Nov. lz-Fresh warnings of an armed menace in Germany coupled with domestic disorda-e attending the Armistice celebra- tions inspired Premier Pime- Etienne Flandin tonight to issue an appeal to French political par- ties t0 forgot their differences.

Chancellor Adolf Hitler's air fleet and Germany's reputed abil- ity to produce 900 planes monthly were causing grave concern to the new premier and his cabinet.

Defence ministers of air, war and the navy were expected to ask Parliament for additional npprop- riations in conformity with Air Minister Victor Denain’s warning that "Germany is ready."

Denain. when he took office in February. told Parliament that the French air fleet was obsolete and proved the point during annual air manoeuvres which the army ad- mitted showed the ease with which an invader could lay waste French cities.

Modem bombing and pursuit planes are being built in small quantities, and when they are test- ed the air ministry plans to launch

an inclusive construction pro- gramme. Recent information. assertedly

from high military quarters, was to the effect that Germany had factories in operation some of

which were capable of producing 80 planes a day. » The total air fleet across the

Rhine was admitted to be still a mystery, but aviation experts were quoted as saying Germany already has more modern planes billlt for transformation into bombers than has France.

The cabinets ministerial declar- ation tomorrow will deal chiefly with the urgent need of curbing foreign labor now employed in France to reduce a growing un- employment-

There are new more than 343,000 employed in France.

Flandirfs ministry was expected to advocate a. general lightening cf international trade restrictions, also as a means to increase na- tional prosperity.

'I‘hc ministry, in addition to be- ing a truce cabinet, is a careful mixture of political parties which is expected to give Flandin a heavy majority. It was expected some Socialists in Parliament might abstain from voting rather than vote against the admitted strength of the new premier.

In back of the fear of new pol- itical dissensicn was the unrest of the French populace as demon- strated yesterday during riots ac- companying the Annistice celebra- tion. Therc were gunfights between rival factions in Paris and street brawls between left and right groups in several other cities. Bav- erai were injured.

At the recent meeting of potato growers in Charlottetown an inter- esting letter on the possibilities of canning potatoes was read by Mr. J. J. Trainer from Mr. H. T. Holman, ‘SUHIIDGZBACIE, the text of which ici- lows:

Dear Sir:

“There is a matter that I would like to bring to your attention which, on the face of it, may appear ridicul- ous to you, but which, I believe, af- ter investigation and consideration you may discover feasible. 1t is the canning of potatoes.

“when you realise that practically everything In the vegetable world is now canned 1 cannot see any good reason why potatoes could not be done too. The demand is already there. It is a commodity that is used throughout the whole continent regularly and putting them in cans certainly puts them in a most con-

venient form for a great many dif-

ferent occasions.

“I would not anticipate that there

would be a sale for them on Prince

Edward Island although there might

be a. small demand arise even here-

It would be in the cities and smaller

sized towns where the great demand

would be felt. In a small family

where everyone works, it is almoli

an impossibility to servo potatoes

as they have to be prepflrcd and

cooked after the workers arrive

home. If, however, canned pota-

toes were available, in five minutes

time, they would be ready for the

table.

Two Forms Suggested

“It would be advisable to put them up in two forms, one mashed and the other whole. The latter would be available for fried potatoes and particularly well adapted for potato salad which is in very common use throughout all of Canada I have had one of our cancers here put up a few cans packed in both ways and I must say that the contents looked and were most attractive.

“Possibly you will think or say that they would have to be sold at too high a price for the actual value of the contents. I d'o not feel that this is a conslderatitm and, if you apply the some results. I wonder
