The city of Akron owns about a third of the lake and has opposed the move to preserve it on the grounds that it may eventually be for Akron's industrial water supply. In order to satisfy his home city's objections, Representative Kasch has agreed to file a bill at the next legislature which will assure Akron that if it ever needs the lake, the state will release it. Student groups from Cleveland, Akron, Kent and Alliance make regular trips to the lake for study, Mrs.

Kinsey told Wooddell, in pleading that the rare plants be preserved. BEAUTICIANS SEEK REVISIONS IN LAW tTv vn- 'J vV- 4 1 5 'hi. Vf iSj $121 FOR LAKE Kasch Aids Appeal To Save Picturesque Site In Geauga County Beacon Journal Burean, 31) Broad it. COLUMBUS, Nov. 25.

If the members of Cleveland and Akron garden clubs really want it, Fern lake can be saved for the flower lovers of the state with all of its rare unduplicated plants, Conservation Commissioner Lawrence E. Wooddell prophesied today. "But," he added, "it will take money, and the state of Ohio is hard up. If the garden clubs want to preserve it, they had better bombard the state board of control asking for the $12,000 appropriation that is needed." Fern lake, located near Burton in Geauga county, was hol lowed out a couple of million years ago by glaciers. In jta bed thrive ferns some of them with 12-foot fronds and other rare pre-historic plants that have survived in this one spot, unduplicated elsewhere in the world.

Somehow, according to state geologists, the plants bridged the gap between a world of primeval muck and the earth as it is. Their progenitors were the bedding ground of mammoths, and sau-rians. Now ther last refuge is in danger of being destroyed by thoughtless vandals, says Wooddell. Appeals To Wooddell Wooddell said that the women of the Ohio State Garden club, Akron Garden club, and Cleveland Garden club had become interested in saving the prehistoric flora and had sent Mrs. L.

L. Kinsey, director of the state club and prominent in the Akron organization to confer with him on the matter. With State Representative Gus Kasch they appeared before the state emergency board asking for an appropriation, already passed by legislature but not yet paid, with which to purchase the lake and preserve it for botanists, museums and schools. "The board," Wooddell said, "has not decided the matter, but the way to save the appropriation is to deluge the board in telegrams insisting upon it. City Owns Third Of Lake "Mrs.

Monday. The session, one of several to be held in Ohio cities, is sponsored by the Hair Dressers Guild of Ohio, employers' group, and the beauticians' union, affiliated with the AFL. Members of the shop owners' committee arranging the meeting include H.

S. Eller, Mrs. Irene Mitchell, L. Able, Marcella Williams, and Earl Elzey. Speakers will be Mrs.

Mary Braden of Cleveland, president of the American Cosmeticians' association, and George E. McKenna of Springfield, a union organizer. Proposed amendments to be considered Monday night would in crease from 750 to possibly 2,000 the number of hours training required, would make high school graduation a prerequisite and would require a year's apprenticeship. Campaign for a fair trade practices act is another possibility. Since the state license law was enacted in 1933, union leaders say, the number of beauty operators in ohio haa increased from 15,000 to iiiuiu man a.iiM me iiuiiiuc, of schools has Jumped from 31 to 58.

wic illcniO MfCtllinC Coughlin "had the approval" of the archbishop. Mooney replied: "The fact is that Catholic church authorities in passing on writings or utterances submitted for preview, make a clear distinction between permission and approval. The permission of church authorities to publish an article or broadcast an address does not imply approval of the contents of that article or address, much less does it make the article or address an authoritative statement of the Catholic position on the subject treated." Station WMCA's demand that they see a copy of Father Coughlin's address 48 hours before he takes the air appeared futile. An official of the advertising agency which handles the network accounts for the priest said copies of the talk have never been distributed in advance and that it was unlikely the practice would be started. Bolivia Proclaimed In State Of Siege LA PAZ, Bolivia, Nov.

25. UP) The government today proclaimed a state of siege a form of martial law throughout Bolivia. Recent dispatches from Bolivia have failed to indicate any developments likely to lead to imposition of a state of siege. The govern ment of President German Busch on Oct. 11 settled Bolivia's 100- year-old conflict with Paraguay over the Gran Chaco wilderness in an agreement depriving Bolivia of an outlet on the Paraguay river, but there have been no reports of subsequent trouble.

YMCA Activities Are Announced A number of activities sched uled for the YMCA were an nounced today. The YMCA Leaders' Alumni club will hold a skating party to night at the YWCA rink. The bantam gym team and the Junior Assistants' club will stage a demonstration of tumbling and other sports at 7:30 p. m. Satur day, Dec.

BLACK OF Teams Hope To Swell Fund In Continued Canvass Of Wage Earners Inability of Community Chest workers to reach Akron's wage earners is the prime reason why the drive has fallen nearly $125,000 short of its goal, a recheck of subscriptions revealed today. The $25 and up group of givers has more than held up its end in the current drive which is being: continued despite the fact that the deadline was passed Tuesday. Of the $374,571.90 raided officially to date, $281,540 came from 1,124 contributors of $25 and over, E.

J. Larrick, executive secretary, announced. The average subscription from that group is more than $250, and averages $9 more per gift than in 1937 when 1,375 contributors in the same classification gave $331,325, the recheck revealed. Another 250 $25 and up givers will have contributed to the Community Chest before the drive closes, Larrick estimated. Meanwhile team workers re traced their steps through the seven divisions in the hope of reaching wage earners who expected to be solicited at their places of employment.

Unofficial estimates show upwards of $6,000 raised since Tuesday's final report meeting, Larrick said, but actual gains will not be known before early next week, he said. REICHSBANK BERLIN, Nov. 25.

Father Charles E. Coughlin today indicated the controversy raging over his radio address of last Sunday would be quieted by his sermon next Sunday which his newspaper, Social Justice, termed would be "a new chapter in radio history." In a statement authorized by Coughlin, Social Justice said the radio priest "will prove indis-putedly that charges raised against him thir. past week are made out of whole cloth." "He has been accused of saying things he did not say and of making charges that he did not make," Social Justice said. "Listeners to the broadcast next Sunday will be convinced beyond all doubt that Father Coughlin's critics instead of dealing with facts are attempting to draw a red herring across the path of the real issue." Mentions Nazi Tactics In his address last Sunday Coughlin attempted to show a nection between Jews and the advent of communism in Germany. He charged that persecution of Jews in Germany was "an international immorality" and stated that the Nazi tactics were merely a defense mechanism against communism.

Following the address radio station WMCA of New York, one of the 46 stations carrying the weekly talks, issued a statement in which it charged Coughlin had uttered "mistakes of fact." Later WMCA said the speech was "calculated to incite religious and racial strife in America." It said that the radio priest had been asked to delete the "mistakes of fact" before he went on the air. Yesterday WMCA declared that unless it receive a copy of next Sunday's sermon by today, it would cancel the sermon. Father Coughlin was out of the city and could not be reached for comment on WMCA's demand. Meanwhile, the Most Rev. Edward Mooney, archbishop of the Catholic diocese of Detroit, entered the controversy as a result of a statement made by Leo J.

Seiberlings, Recalls Flights Of Early 'Akron' By HELEN' WATERIIOUSE her younger brother as they built Trade Winds Far-Sighted Kettering Du Pont, Newest Fiber Buying In Aircraits By LOUIS SCHXEIDER Beacon Journal Financial Writer PREDICTION Charles F. Kettering, vice president of General Motors, is not only a corporate official but a far-sighted inventor as well. He's the man who invented and perfected the self-starter and many other devices in general use. In a recent private talk, Mr. Kettering made a statement that sent chills down the spines of interests holding large blocks of oil company shares.

He also said that automobile engineers don't know a thing about automobiles as yet despite forty years of experience. Mr. Kettering said that talk of a future oil shortage shouldn't worry people. He intimated that when that time arrives automobiles will be operated by electricity supplied by central power radio stations. "A small antenna on the car will do away with fuel." NYLON Should duPont's new fiber Nylon develop into what is expected of it, it will cut into several industries.

In addition to being used for hosiery and tooth brush bristles, the product will be adaptable for knit goods, fishing lines and leaders, sewing thread, brush bristles, knitted and woven undergarments, textile finishing agents, coated fabrics, transparent wrapping film, plastic compositions, racquet strings, narrow fabrics and woven dress goods. The duPont Nylon plant will be constructed at Seaford, Del. Work starts on it this month, but it will riot be completed until 1939. UNAFRAID Hosiery manufacturers aren't disturbed by the threats of duPont's new Nylon fabric. They say tests show it may wear like steel, but that tests of its capacity to absorb perspiration haven't been completed.

Hosiery trade insiders say the duPonts will have to spend millions to get women to wear new kinds of fabrics. Recent moves to get them to buy rayon hosiery have failed. Hope is that the same will happen to Nylon hosiery. Manufacturers of silk hosiery are going ahead with production plans as if Nylon weren't in the offing. They don't fear the duPont competition because it will be at least a year before output can be expected.

CONTROL In order to forestall the danger of overproduction crisis, the Texas railroad commission aims not only to restrict December crude oil output to a five day basis but to extend that plan pver the first two months of Since the state of Texas produces about forty-five per cent of the tfountry'3 crude oil, the industry's leaders believe the T.R.C. step is the most important in the current movement for oil ilndus-try control. BOEING Stock market letter writers and statistical services are urging clients to purchase aviation shares because of the government's new armament program. The most favored issue in Boeing. The advices say that the company is headed for large profits which should bring handsome dividend returns.

Checking with informed sources, the word is that Boeing will finish in the red. It is also learned that the chances of profits for the first six months of 1939 are slim. This because the large losses taken on commercial orders more than offset the small margins of profits allowed on military orders. Boeing is currently operating at capacity. In order to accept new bookings it will have to expand its facilities.

This calls for new financing. Interests close to the management say it will be accomplished via the sale of common shares. Thus whatever profits are made in the future will be pared by increased capitalization. TIME SALE In railroad equipment circles the word is that Illinois Central railroad is in the market for 1.000 new freight cars. But interests close to the management say the order will not he placed until after the turn of the year.

Should Illinois Central order 1,000 freight cars, it will be on a time-payment basis. That's what the road did when it recently booked with American Car Foundry for 1,000 box cars a 15 year payment plan.

Women's and Children's Smart New 2-SNAP GAITERS QHE watched her husband and kJ the first dirigible, "Akron," watched them as they fell to their But today in Akron, Mrs. Melvin Vaniman, the first woman to receive a wireless message from a dirigible at sea, a woman who sewed yards of fabric for the covers of airships, rejoices that Akron limy build another ship and thus fulfill the dreams of her pioneer husband. The quiet middle-aged woman, now an instructor in a Denver health institute, is visiting at the home of F. A.

Seiberling for the first time in 14 years. Seiberling, as president of Goodyear, was the man who hired Vaniman to build the early "Akron" in the Goodyear plant ami who watched its trial flights at Atlantic City eagerly. Proud Of Akron "Mr. Seiberling wanted to fly the name of Akron and of Goodyear across the Atlantic," said Mrs. Vaniman.

"He felt confident that my husband, who had already built the airship America and flown it with Walter Wellman on a transoceanic attempt could do the job. Mrs. Vaniman was confident of the success of the ship, too. She was living in the world of aviation pioneers she had waved her husband goodby three times before as he started on adventures in an airship. She had seen him return twice from trips far north in a dirigible in search of the pole.

She had lived with him in a hangar in Paris as they pieced and sewed the covering for his ships. She had watched the adventurous young Santos Dumont as he snared aloft over the Bois, cheered as Comte Pc Lambert circled the Eiffel tower, and entertained Frank r. Lohm, another pioneer aviation enthusiast, in her home. Ralph Upson, who is now urging the building of an all metal ship, was one of her husband's many admirers. Alolt In Captive Balloon Once she had been aloft in a captive balloon with her husband over the city of Rome, during his early photographic career.

Mrs. Vaniman revealed that the flight upon which her husband perished was to be the last one made on the original ship "Akron" and that a new Akron was already under way in which he had planned to make the European hop. "The new one was of entirely new construction called a wire wound dirigible, and it might have revolutionized the whole dirigible industry," she said. "On that day in 1911, he said to me, 'Well. I guess I'll take old Bets up for one last trip around, in the early 1900's, and she death in the little ship.

I'm going to make one wide circle and Watched From Window The young wife stood at the window of her Atlantic City home watching the "Akron" go aloft and aboard were her husband, her brother, A. F. Loud, and three other men. The yellowish bag was 268 feet long and 52 feet in diameter. "It was a beautiful sight as it left the hangar and headed into the mists off the Jersey shore," she recalls.

"When about half a mile off shore, it emerged into the hot July sun. "The heat expanded the gas and the ship went straight up instead of circling as it should. I knew something was wrong when it began to circle the second time, I knew my husband had changed his plans. "We could see him from the window, running back and forth trying to open some of the valves and release the gas. Apparently he could not accomplish that.

He had had some trouble with gas valves leaking before he started and he may have sealed the valves to prevent leakage. The gas bag suddenly seemed to send out a huge puff of smoke. There was no flame. I saw the ship shoot down toward the sea. "Then I turned away.

I couldn't bear to watch. The woman who stood with me, and whose husband was on hoard, gave one piercing scream." Seiherling afterwards declared, "To Vaniman belongs the credit of 1 being the first aeronaut to at- tempt to cross the Atlantic through the air, and to urge the I possibilities of the dirigible for commercial and governmental pur poses." Akron Agency Wins Insurance Honors The Akron aRency of the Ohio State Life Insurance Co. finished first in a nation-wide campaign recently completed by the field force of the company, Vice Presi- i dent Frank L.

M. Sinclair, also of Akron, finished 10th. Barnes reported that life insur- 1 ance written by the company dur- ing October was 22 per cent greater than the amount written in the same month last year.
