The proposed investment, exceeding $1,000,000, is being sponsored by John A. Thompson, capitalist, of St.

Petersburg and Des Moines, whose con fidence in the southward march of commercial aviation persuaded Mr. Roos to come to Florida in search of sites for his two factories, located at Kansas City and Lincoln, Neb. Impressed by Tampa. Mr. Thompson and Mr.

Roos completed their tour of the state yesterday. They were greatly impressed by Tampa's aeronautical possibilities, as exhibited by George B. Howell and Jerome A. Waterman, representing the industrial and aviation committees of the chamber of commerce. The president of the two aircraft companies is personally favorable to moving to Florida.

But the final decision, he explained, rests with his board of directors and the board is expected to meet in "Kansas City next week to go over proposals submitted by Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville and St. Petersburg. The verdict, Mr. Roos said, will be reached within the next three weeks. Although the visitors were shown the Tampa airport by the Tampa business men, they were more interested in developing their own factory site and training field than in locating at the city-controlled property.

The site question, they said, can be solved here wihout much difficulty. And Tampa, Mr. Roos added, offers many other advantages not found elsewhere in Florida because of its Latin colony and the fact that the aviation school wbuld draw many of its students from South and Central America. Would Follow Trend Mr. Roos, a veteran airplane pilot and manufacturer, first considered moving his plants to Florida several months ago after Mr.

Thompson, head of 20 corporations scattered throughout the middle west, advised the change in location to prepare for the certain aeronautical development in the Latin Americas. "Our sales have been holding up well," Mr. Roos told Mr. Howell. "In fact, the production of our American Eagle factory ranks fourth in the United States.

But Mr. Thompson, a keen business analyst, has visualized the next phase of aviation progress. He believes the progressive manufacturer should get in on the ground floor of this new nd undeveloped South American trade. That's why we are down here looking over sites. We have seen Miami and Jacksonville.

But Tampa, with its Latin colony, its Spanish clubs, coffee shops and customs, is peculiarly adapted to our particular purpose. Its advantages would greatly enhance the appeal of our Florida aviation school, which would draw its students from the United States but more especially from the Latin republics." In his conference with chamber of commerce officials and Tampa bankers, Mr. Roos and Mr. Thompson emphasized the fact that their pro-- (Continued on Page 3) 3 of Ann Harding Company Injured SARASOTA, Dec. 8.

9. (Wednesday) (Associated Press.) Sidney S. Lenz and Oswald Jacoby with their official system of contract bridge gained ground on Mr! and Mrs. Ely Culbert-son and the Culbertson system in the second session of their challenge match which ended at 12:22 this morning. After 10 rubbers of the series had been played Lenz and Jacoby were 2075 points in the lead, a gain of 360 points from what they acquired in the first session of the match.

Seven rubbers were played in the second session, in contrast to three of the first. Lenz and Jacoby won four of the seven rubbers of the second session and the rubber standing of the series became: Lenz and Jacoby, Cul-bertsons, 3. When the match is resumed Thurs day night the players will be on their sixtieth hand of the 150-rubber match. Only one Nhand has been passed out. Only one salm has been contracted.

Lenz made it at th second session. It was a little slam.

Penn, landscape gardener, to succeed T. D.

Waldie as superintendent of parks but the appointment was attacked last night by two mem bers of the board of aldermen. Insisting that Penn, who was not mentioned by name, had not been recommended by the park board, Al dermen Thompson and Pacheco per suaded the board to vote unanimously to request City Attorney McMullen for an opinion as to the legality of the mayor's action. The charter, Thompson said, pro vides that the superintendent be first selected by the park board, subject to the mayor's approval. The mayor's letter, notifying the aldermen of the Penn appointment, was withdrawn just after the meeting convened when the city attorney advised the mayor that the board's confirmation was not necessary. But Thompson, sitting next to the clerk, saw the letter and launched his attack just before the board adjourned.

Calls Appointment Illegal "I have been informed," Thompson said, "that our superintendent of parks Mr. Waldie has been removed. This appointment under the charter should be made by the mayor on the recommendation of the park board. Thus far, I have not been informed if the board has made any recommendation to the mayor. If such action has been taken, it has not come to my attention.

Hattie Caraway, her first day in the senate was a memorable experience and entirely enjoyable if a little bit strenuous. After being sworn in, she leit to have lunch but didn't even have time to finish it. A hurry call to the senate floor to vote for president pro tempore interrupted the meal at the home of her sister a few blocks away and brought 1 her to the capitol posthast in a taxi. But the second woman ever to re- MRS. CARAWAY ceive a seat in the senate and the first to serve as an active member took it all quite calmly.

She entered the chamber after her name had been passed on the voting roll call. She arose, addressed the chair and voted for her party's candidateSenator Pittman of Nevada. She repeated this vote on the other two ballots "as dad would have done," following out her policy of "carrying on" for her late husband, Senator Thaddeus Caraway of Arkansas, whose place she was appointed to fill.

CHARLIE WALL GETS 2 YEARS IN DOPE CASE Gets Release in Bond Pending Appeal Charlie Wall, found guilty Saturday by a. federal court jury of conspiracy to violate narcotic laws, was sentenced yesterday by Judge Akerman to two years in the penitentiary at Atlanta and pay a fine of $2000. The sentence was imposed immediately after Judge Akerman denied a motion for a new trial. As soon as it was pronounced W. R.

Dickenson, defense attorney, asked and received permission to appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals at New Orleans. Judge Akerman allowed Wall to re main at liberty pending the appeal under $7500 supersedeas bond, which was presented immediately and ap proved by the judge and the district attorney's office. Sureties were T. Lvkes. C.

A. McKay, P. G. Wal- dron, J. E.

Wall, T. M. Lykes, J. Dupree, W. J.

Houlihan, J. E. Wall, H. A. Hendry and Richard E.

Knight. All but the last two named, who had not completely filled out the appli cation, stated that they had offered to sign. The order allowing the appeal also set the bond and specified that ap peal papers should be completed within 90 days. At the same time the appearance date was set as Jan. 5.

Attorney Dickenson filed his assignment of errors with his motion for appeal which set forth 17 supposed errors as a basis for the appeal. Charges Entrapment The principal objections by the defense to trial" procedure alleged that evidence by defense witnesses showed a plain case of entrapment and that the court erred in permitting introduction of certain testimony, including testimony of sale of narcotics by Mike Gullo, who was charged with Wall and George Zarate in the indictment. It also was set forth that the court should not have included evidence relating to acts of which Wall was found not guilty at former dials. Zarate, found guilty with Wall, was sentenced Monday to pay a fine of $1. This was in view of a sentence of 10 years at a former trial at which he was found guilty of sale of drugs, an offense punishable with a heavier penalty than can be imposed for conspiracy.

"Let the defendant come forward," said the judge after he denied the motion for a new trial. Has Nothing to Say "Mr. Wall," Judge Akerman said. it would serve no useful purpose for me to lecture you. The jury has found you guilty and there is nothing for me to do but to sentence you Have you anything to say why the sentence of the law should not be im posed on you?" Wall shook his head, and the -judge sentenced him.

You have been found guilty on two counts." Judge Akerman then said, "but in my opinion both represent the same transaction. If treated as separate transactions you might be given four years, but I am of the opinion that w-hat the government charges in the two counts is but one and the same violation." After appeal matters were attended to the judge informed Wall that he was at liberty. Wall moved slowly to ward the door, picked up his hat, and went out of the courtroom alone. Stock Price Drop Continues After Hoover Message NEW YORK, Dec. 8.

(A.P.) President Jloover's message to con gress fell upon a wavering stock market in Wall street today. Prices on the stock exchange were in a dceline and they continued the down trend after publication of the message. Dividend omissions or reductions by five railroad companies and the suspension of a smaller stock exchange firm, 'Palmer had unsettled the market prior to appearance of the chief executive's recommenda tions on financial news tickers. Trading was in moderate volume, the day's turnover aggregating 1,599,016 shares. New York Central and New Haven, at their extreme lows, were off $5 a share.

They regained a small part of the loss. Pennsylvania, which stands to lose about $1,250,000 in income on an annual basis as a result of dividend changes announced by New Haven and Boston Maine, held relatively steady. United States Steel closed at $51.12 a share, showing a net loss of $2.12 for the day. While Boston Maine passed dividends on two preferred issues and New Haven, Colorado Southern, and Texas Pacific passed. their common dividends, there were no changes in the preferred dividends of either New Haven or Colorado Southern.

Chicago, Burlington Quincy direc tors declared that road's regular semi annual dividend of $5 a share. Also for Federal Action To Spread Credit WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. (Associated Press.) President Hoover told congress today what he thinks the country needs In the way of legislation and house democrats voted to make his recommendations the subject of general debate on the floor of the chamber. Meeting in caucus late in, the day, they instructed Majority Leader Rainey to take the action necessary to bring this about.

He will do so tomorrow, soon after the convening hour. A temporary tax increase, formation of a reconstruction corporation to supplement the credit pool already organized, and an overhauling of the banking and anti-trust laws were asked by the chief executive. A second message on foreign affairs is to be sent to the capitol late in the week. Hoover spent most of the afternoon today working on it. It will recommend particularly ratification of the one-year moratorium on intergovernmental debts and will deal too with other aspects of international relations.

The Manchurian situation is to be discussed- and possibly the world court. Bills Introduced Soon after today's message was re ceived bills were introduced in "both house and senate to establish the re construction corporation bulwarked by federal funds to be loaned to suffer ing industries. The president said such action will "strengthen confidence." in addition to this agency, he asked a thorough overhauling of banking laws to loosen restrictions that hamper credtts. Under his tax plan, which is ex pected to be outlined in detail to morrow by Secretary Mellon, the higher levies would remain effective only two years. Arguing the need of more revenue, the message disclosed the.treasury expects to be more than $4,400,000,000 behind when the next fiscal year closes.

Among other measures proposed for revivifying confidence were subscription of more money to federal land banks, use of federal reserve assets to thaw assets frozen in failed banks, institution of a home-loan bank system and broadening of the case for federal reserve discounting. Non-Partisan action Leaders of both parties in senate and house expect non-partisan action on those sections of the presidential program clearly for the benefit of business. They saw plenty of prospect for conflict, however, over details and controversial questions presented. The president asked rejection of proposals to extend federal payments to veterans, and at the same time said $200,000,000 should be appropriated immediately for the veterans bureau to continue loans on service certificates. The house appropriations committee will go ahead to provide the money without delay.

All federal expenditures have to be kept down, Hoover said. He emphasized that if the limits defined him for taxes, appropriations or federal borrowing should be exceeded, it would react tragically on confidence, jeopardize the financial sys tem and "actually extend unemployment and demoralize agriculture rather than relive it." Objects to Dole He objected strongly to any form of federal dole. The specific recommendations op posed any general revision of the tariff and favored adjustments in the anti-trust laws and federal regulation of interstate power transmission. He proposed to transfer administrative functions of the shipping board regulatory functions with jurisdiction over coatswise shipping, and rates and services on the nnland waterways. The major aspects of the administration program are expected to wait until after Christmas for action.

For Rail Consolidation In a brief discussion of the railroads, the president said they should be given the chance to reduce operating costs by "proper consolidation." He suggested revision of the law under which the interstate commerce commission regulates them, and gave notice that he would soon forward recommendations from the commission to congress. Another later communication is to deal with strengthening law eri-forcemeent and judicial procedure; (Continued on Page 5) Full text of Hoover message on page 4. Will Rogers OSAKA, Dec. 8.

Yours, WILL ROGERS. 1 10 11 Of Manufacturers But Ask Work at Once Cigar workers, meeting at the Labor temple yesterday to discuss terms under which factory owners agreed to reopen their plants, tabled motion for a general referendum on the manufacturers' offer after heated discussion. but voted almost unanimously to call off strikes against three plants. This was one of the principal requests of the owners.

Committees from each of the three factories, Perfecto Garcia Wengler Mandell, and Jose Esca- lante were appointed to notify the employers that demands made against their plants had been with drawn. These committees, however. were instructed also to ask that all workers who went on strike be taken back and given part time employment on a rotation basis. Another mass meeting was called for today at 1 o'clock to hear the reports of these committees and to consider further what is to be done to end the present dispute under which 40 factories are virtually closed and 7000 or more workers out of jobs. Situation Clearer Withdrawal of the demands against the three factories clears the air materially.

Votes on this question were taken a week ago by the individual factories but the workers' executive committee ruled that the action would have to be apprpved by the general assembly, as was done yesterday. The request that owners of the three factories, which were called on strike the day before the general walkout, take back all their employes on part time is a new phase of the dispute and was discussed at length at the meeting. The men were for it. They had agreed some time ago to return to work only on condition that all who went out in sympathy for so-called communists held in the county jail be taken back for one week. Manufacturers replied thai they were ready to reopen, but that 4he slack season is on and that, while they cannot employ all, they will give jobs to all who can be put to work.

Ready For Part Time Work -r The workers now say they are ready to work three days a week, or four, or one, as the need permits, but they want all to get part time em ployment. This question was taken up after the vote had been taken to recall de mands against the three factories, and after committees had been appointed to inform the factory owners. It was a separate action and spokesmen said it was a request, not a demand. They said they hoped to ex tend the plan in principle in all factories. Factories have been following this principle for years by setting a limit on the number of cigars each worker may make a day.

By this method em- ployment has been spread among a large number during this last year. Meeting Is Orderly The meeting was generally orderly, with little or no 1 mention of com munism. There was no singing of revolutionary songs, no red hot talks. The restraining hand of Federal Judge Akerman's injunction held dis cussion down to business strictly. Leaders made every effort to maintain The only time leaders had difficulty holding the crowd in control was during discussion of a motion to hold a referendum among workers of all factories on acceptance of the manu facturers' terms.

Some held strong opinions for it; others -were just as set against it. Speakers jumped up from the floor all over the house but the discussion was stopped by wfth-drawal of the motion. Some who opposed the referendum said it would take three days to hold it, and they want to get back to work without delay. Speakers urged the men to main tain their spirit of organization, but not a red organization. The meeting was not so large as some formerly, held but several hun dred listened to the proceedings through a loud speaker in the street.

Chief Logan was there and closed the street in front of the temple so those outside could hear without interruption. Sarasota Voters Ratify Operation Of Dog Race Track SARASOTA, Dec. 8-(Special.) Sarasota county today fell into line with other Florida counties that have voted on legalizing race tracks with pari-mutuel wagering, voting 670 to 132 in favor of operation of a dog track in the county. Only one small precinct was missing from the vote count, which could not materially change the result. The election outcome approves a permit sought by Ralph Calhoun, local attorney, for operation cf dog racing track at the plant of the old Sarasota Kennel club, which has been idle for several years.

Calhoun has said Miami-interests will back him financially in the project. Sarasota is the sixth county to ratify racing under the law passed by the last legislature. Tracks have been approved in Dade, Palm Beach, St. Johns, Clay and Pinellas counties. JOHN A.

THOMPSON (top) VICTOR H. ROOS ENTIRE ROTARY CLUB WILL BE GO OB FELLOWS Will Provide Christmas For 130 Kids The Rotary club, at its meeting yesterday, voted unanimously to participate in the Good Fellows Christmas distribution plan, sponsored by The Tribune. This action was taken on he suggestion pf A. L. Cuesta, speaking for the directors of the club, and on a motion made by Dr.

C. H. H. Branch and seconded by Frank D. Jackson.

It has been the custom of the Rotary club, with a membership of 130, to give a Christmas tree party each year for the children of Rota-rians. This will be abandoned this year and appropriation usually made for this purpose will be devoted to the Good Fellows. In addition to this, each Rotarian stands pledged, by yesterday's vote, to individually join the Good Fellows and attend to the Christmas wants of one or more needy cases. Give Up Rotary Party Mr. Cueata, in bringing the matter betore the meeting, said the di rectors ot tne club had decided in view of the.

existence of so many cases of deprivation and lack of holi day cheer, to give up the usual distribution of gifts to Rotary chil-den and to devote the fund to charity. He urged that the club adopt the Good Fellows plan, which was quickly agreed to by the club. Good Fellow cards will be given Rotarians at next Tuesday's meeting and each member will take on one or more cases for personal attention. Vice-President C. A.

McKeard, in putting the motion yesterday, told the Rotarians that each of them had assumed a solemn and binding obligation to become a Good Fellow and that there must be no shirkers. 7 A boy, 7, and two sisters, 5 and 2, live in a little hut at the end of a street.

HARDEE CARY A. HARDEE ANNOUNCES FOR GOVERNOR RACE Promises Elimination of Needless Expenses Cary A. Hardee, governor of Flor ida from 1921 to 1924, while the gas tax was three cents, came out yesterday with formal announcement of his candidacy for' governor in the pri mary next year, in which the pres ent seven-cent tax will be one politi cal bone of contention. Hardee said that when he retired the -state government was turned over to his successor (John W. Martin, his chief opponent in the forthcoming fight) "without a dollar of indebted ness" and a balance in the treasury to the credit of every fund.

Opposes Havy Expenses "What we did then we can do again and I promise it shall' be done," Har dee said in his statement, released from his home at Live Oak. The former governor said he was not the candidate of any faction, laid down a sweeping program for elimina tion of every unnecessary expense, and declared extravagance not only is hurtful to taxpayers but produces no beneficial results. He urged an end of the reckless creation of money- spending agencies, the cutting out of fads, insisting that very dollar be made to do its full duty. He said the expenses of the state increased from $15,000,000 in 1924 to $44,000,000 "within the four years following my administration." Text of Statement The text of Hardee's statement follows: "I will be a candidate for governor in the democratic primaries next year. From time to time I shall discuss the Issues and later promulgate more complete declarations.

In reaching such determination I am not unmindful of the responsibilties of the governorship of a great state, accentuated and more pronounced in days like these through which we are passing. Such an exalted station may not be lightly regarded or flippantly sought. The governor is more than a man. He is a symbol. He personifies the state government.

The people look to him and expect to find in him an exemplification of the highest personal and governmental ideals, let the governor hold high the standards and lesser officials will observe and follow. Let him think of the state's interest as the chief concern, sacredly guard the interest of the people, protect their rights against selfish exploitation.
