J-VYOE, s. New Explosive Is Revealed In Hunt Death From Water Formula Prom ises Another War Horror' Paris—In their round-up of per sons suspected to have engaged in a world-wide espionage plot, the Paris police have seized a sensa tional document. It is a secret formula, the applo cation of which may revolutionize industry—and warfare. For it de scribes a new explosive force, 48 times greater than the most power ful chemical explosive at present in use. TF.a rocument shows how this deadly explosive can be manufac tured from water, at an exception ally low cost. The formula was found among a heap of documents and charts, which members of the French C. I. D. seized when they searched the rooms of a Jugoslavian chemist, named Vatroslev Reich, who has been employed at one of the state laboratories here for some time past. Inquiries indicate that the in vention is the result of 14 years’ research by a German scientist nam ed Hausmeister, in his private lab oratory in the little Black Forest township of Goeppirtgen in Wur temberg. i wo years ago ne suDnuttea me results of his experiments to an in dustrial group in Germany. In the course of experiments which they carried out under the direction of reichwehr experts, an explosion took place in which seven men lost their lives. Haumeister refused to have any thing further to do imth the Ger man group. He approached in turn other big industrialists in Eu rope and America. All of them, however, refused to finance the enterprise avowedly because the practical application of the Hau meister method would reduce the value of every coal and oil share in the; world. t* ■ One European power tried hard to obtain the invention* but Haus meister refused to entertain their proposals. They did not abandon hope. They knew of the existence in Paris of an international espionage organization run on business prin ciples and prepared to steal any body’s secrets to the highest bid der. They had done business with this organization before. U. S. Marines To Fill Vacancies Savannah, Ga.—The!

N JOURNAl l5 INDUSTRY can pull the entire recovery program along to better times, provided— (1) That it is turned about by Uncle Sam and headed in the right direction. , (2) That it is strengthened and made physically able to pull the Toad expected of it. (3) That it gets some of the same Federal RFC help that went to the banks, railroads, insurance companies, agriculture, etc. President Roosevelt recently em phasized the need of loans to In dustry as a method of maintaining and increasing payrolls and putting more persons to work. He knows the horse can’t pull the load any where unless it is started off right. He’s for a New Deal to Industry, too, and the sooner this part of the program gets moving the sooner we’ll all be headed for better times. This depression, as has long been pointed out, was chiefly an Indus trial depression, though Industry of itself was not the cause of it. In dustry wa$ forced into hard times when working capital shrank, when bank assets froze, when money be came so tight that purchasing ceas ed. Conditions far beyond the con trol of Industry made the curtail ment of production necessary. And when production was curtail ed, people were forced out of work and off of payrolls, thus increasing unemployment. With the general improvement in conditions, people are buying again and demand is increasing. But Industry, hard hit these many months of idleness, cannot in many cases resume operations on a scale that will meet the demand and cannot increase its payrolls by put ting more people to work unless the government steps in with the same kind of assistance it had to give the banks, insurance companies and others when their capital was de preciated. When Uncle Sam gets around to providing these federal loans to In dustry, the recovery program will begin moving more rapidly in the right direction. Highway Revenue Is Soaring High New cars and greater use of the highways of the state have sent highway revenues soaring beyond estimates of the last legislature. Gasoline and motor license taxes continued to mount in April, and overshadowed the failure of gener al fund revenues—which are relied upon for salaries of teachers and de partmental employes—to meet es timates. Result of collections for the first' ten months’ operations under the 193 3-34 revenue law are revealed in an official report of the state department of revenue. The out standing feature of the report was the fact that highway collections had already passed estimates for the entire year with two months still left to go. Highway fund revenue for the ten months of the current fiscal year through April totalled $19, 386,698.44 as compared with a leg islative estimate approximately $19,000,000 for the whole period. Failure of the general fund to keep abreast of estimates was trace able to the 3 per cent general sales tax, which must yield approximate ly $1,000,000 a month in May and June to reach the estimated yearly receipts from that source. General fund collections through April totalled $18,685,988.31, of which $4,877,951.15 represented sales tax receipts. That source was expected to yield between $7,000, 000 and $7,500,000 this current fiscal year. Highway collections in April to taled $1,595,659.33, while general revenues were $1,094,388.38, in cluding $632,515.46 from the sales tax. April, with its touches of warm weather, also brought beer taxes up, but the ten months total from that source reached only $256,506.03, and it is not expected that the beer collections for the fiscal year will exceed $300,000. The legislature estimated that thd| bevfeHage tax would yield anywhere from $400, 000 to $1,000,000 a year. * l Income taxes for 1934 still are below collections of 193 3, despite the increases in rates in the lower brackets. The drop is due to sharply curtailed payments by the big tobacco companies, these pay ments being only about half what they were last year. Total income collections for ten months were reported as $5,376, 308.23, as compared with $5,5 50, 719.51 for the same period last year. Inheritance tax collections for 1934 are badly off, amounting to only $333,978.46, as compared with $442,995.54 for the first ten months of 1933. Franchise taxes, intended to re capture from corporations some of the ad valorem savings, are up some, the 1934 collections to date being $6,410,188.20, as compared with $6,042,203.41 for the same period last year. There 'will be no salary cuts this fiscal year due to disappointing general fund revenue, as the Gen eral Assembly authorized the diver sion of $1,000,000 from the high way fund in case that sum were available. The ten months’ col lections reveal that it will be more than available. The bulging high way fund also will bear the brunt of carrying general fund obliga tions due to the deficit.
