Clementel, chairman of the finance committee of the Senate and former inlster of finance in the Herriot cabinet, today accepted the task of forming a cabinet to succeed the recently defeated Briand ministry. Clementel is a member of the radical group in the Senate. He is regarded as one of the most moderate of that group and the most likely radical to be able to form a new union government more to the left than the Poincare combination, excluding conservatives of the Republican Union group and replacing them by radicals. Financial Confidence. Clementel has the confidence of the financial interests.

This is chiefly because of his action when minister of finance in taking issue with Premier Herriot against a capital levy in 1925, resigning after making his position clear before the Senate. He is now first president of the International Chamber of Commerce, being head of the French section. Clementel was summoned by the President after Edouard Daladier, leader of the radical Socialist party, had definitely declined to continue further efforts to form a government. Only a. short time before Clementel was summoned, former Premier Aristide Briand went to the Elysee Palace and saw President Doumergue.

It was first thought he w-ould be asked to form a government, but it later developed that he and the President merely had talked over the situation. Long in Prominence. Although never premier before. M. Clementel has long played a prominent part in French political life, having been a member of several governments, holding such portfolios as finance, commerce and agriculture.

He was minister of trade and labor in the Clemenceau cabinet of 1917-20 and was minister of finance in the Herriot cabinet of 1924-25. He has since been a Senator. FLYERS WITHDRAWN. Britain Not to Race Again for Cup. LONDON.

The Navy Department has decided that Lieut. Alford J. Williams, regarded as one of the greatest airplane pilots and the leading speed expert in the Navy, is not to be thrust into obscurity by assignment to routine sea duty and has authorized him to continue the work of developing his Mercury racing plane, now in the Philadelphia naval aircraft factory.

Lieut. Williams built the racer with private capital for entry in the Schneider Trophy races in England last month. Owing to motor trouble and other difficulties, which could not be corrected in time, he was unable to represent this country in the race. After a month of tests at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, the plane was shipped back to Philadelphia. Though on duty in the Navy Department here, Lieut.

Williams flies to Philadelphia almost daily to continue the work on the racing plane, which he hopes to have in shape for a series of test flights next Spring. Through his work on the plane, Lieut. Williams said, he hopes to get further light on problems of speed flight as yet unsolved, so that all possible difficulties may be solved if it is decided to build another plane for the next Schneider races in 1931. The program Williams has laid out for himsejf, with the sanction of the Navy Department, calls first for test flights of the Mercury to check its performance against the preliminary computations so that it may be determined whether the plane has been correctly designed or whether it will be necessary to produce another design before a plane can be built which will be capable of breaking the present speed record, which is more than 6 miles a minute. All information gathered from experiments with the Mercury racer, Williams said, will be made available to any one who cares to work for speed, WILL FILE NUISANCE CHARGES IN DRY DRIVE Second Offenders to Face Larger Penalty When Brought Before Courts.

October monster dirigibles, the largest in the world, are to be constructed and placed in regular operation between Southern California and the Philippines in 1933 by the Pacific Zeppelin Transport according to Paul Litchfield, chairman of the board.

Building of the Zeppelins, which will be of 6,500,000 cubic foot helium gas capacity, will entail a $15,000,000 construction program, including erection of another giant hangar here and one in Southern California and the building of mooring masts in Hawaii and the Philippines, Litchfield said. The program calls for their completion in 1932 and being placed on regular runs In 1933. By the time the Pacific air liners are built, Litchfield said he expected construction of another hangar to be under way on the Atlantic Coast in preparation for a transatlantic dirigible line. The Pacific liners will carry 80 passengers and 10 tons of mail, express and freight. They will cut in half the crossing time now made by the fastest boats.

Litchfield, however, said the object is to speed travel rather than compete with any other company, either air or water. American steamship companies, railways and air lines will co-operate, he said. The transatlantic line is to be organized by the International Zeppelin Transport Co. and two dirigibles will be built in Akron and two in Friedrichshafen, Germany, with operating hangars on both sides of the sea.

THREE REPORTERS ARE SENT TO TAIL Refusal to Answer Grand; Jury Is Held In Contempt of Court. Three Washington Times reporters were sentenced today to serve 45 days each in the District Jail by Justice Peyton Gordon, who ruled they were in contempt of court for declining to reveal to the grand jury names and addresses of persons from whom they claimed to have purchased whisky, The Times previously had submitted the names and addresses to the grand I Jury as they were turned in by the rej porters. But the reporters refused themselves to give the information on i the grounds that they might thus be made prosecuting witnesses, and that such revelations on their mrt would be a breach of newspaper ethics. The justice would not aamlt the reporters to bail pending an appeal. Those sentenced were Gorman M.

Hendricks, 35; Linton Burkett, 30, and i Jack E. Nevin, 24. The reporters actually face an indeterminate jail term as the district attorney's office may, upon their release, again ask them to give the desired formation to the jury, and if they should i again refuse, they would be liable to another contempt action. Gordon Holds Questions Proper. The grand jury cited the reporters to the court yesterday after they had refused to divulge the desired names and addresses in response to questions put to them by the inquisitorial body.

In passing sentence today. Justice Gordon told them the questions put by the grand Jury were entirely proper and that the court could grant them no immunity, the law not recognizing the ethics of the newspaper profession to prctect the source of information as sufficient grounds for maintaining such a plea.

I TWO CENTS. ALLEN HEARING SET ON NOV. CIVILIAN BOARD CONSIDERED Commissioners Fear Granting Request Might Become Dangerous Precedent. RUMORS DECLARE DOYLE MAY RECANT REMARKS Counsel for Suspended Captain Say Reports Are Without Foundation of Truth. The trial of Private Robert J.

Allen like that of Capt. Robjrt E. Doyle of the eighth precinct, his commanding officer who defended him in his criticism of the United States attorney's office, was postponed today until November 6, as the District Commissioners made preparations to take action on the suspended plea for the creation of an extraordinary civilian board to try him on charges of insubordination. In the meantime rumors were current at the District Building that overtures had been made to have Capt. Doyle recede from the position in supporting Allen, with a promise that the charges of insubordination preferred against him by Maj.

Henry G. Pratt, superintendent of police, would be dismissed. Chapman W. Fowler and T. Morris Wampler, counsel for the sus, pended police captain, admitted that I they, too, had heard these reports, but i emphatically branded them as utter falsehoods.

Rumor After Conference. The rumors are believed to have originated following a conference yesterday afternoon between Fowler and Corporation Counsel William W. Bride. The latter flatly declined to discuss the case, asking newspaper reporters not to interrogate him about it, but Intimating that he might have some statement to make later. Maj.

Pratt said he also had heard these reports but had not received confirmation of them from either Doyle or his attorneys. The police superintendent hinted, however, that he believed such a move on part would be a satisfactory disposition of the case as far as he is concerned. Even though on the verge of a decision on request for a civilian trial board, the Commissioners would give no Indication of the action contemplated in advance of a meeting of the Board of Commissioners, which Is scheduled to follow a public hearing of the Zoning Commission now in progress. The board meeting, however. Is not i likely to begin until some time this afternoon.

Sees Danger in Precedent. Despite the secrecy thrown around the deliberations of the Commissioners, It was learned that they have given serious consideration to the probable effect of the appointment of a civilian board to hear the charges against Allen. The creation of such a board in this case, It was said, might establish a dangerous precedent, and at the same time indicate that the Commissioners had little faith In the Police Trial Board. Moreover, it was pointed out, the function of the board is to maintain discipline in the Police Department, a question with which civilians are not to be as familiar as members within the department. It also was explained that Allen should have no fear of an impartial trial, since the action of a Police Trial Board Is subject to appeal and review by the Commissioners, who have the power to reduce the penalty prescribed by the board or to set it aside.

The postponement of trial for a week was approved by the Police Trial Board on recommendation of H. Ralph Burton and Tench T. Marye, counsel for the accused policeman. Corporation Counsel Bride also agreed to the continuance. The delay will bring the Doyle and Allen trials on the same day.
