'Flying Wing' Hailed As Plane of Future Los Angeles, Oct. 29 (U.P.) Widespread acceptance of a radical change in airplane design was predicted today by John K. Northrop, inventor of the "flying wing." For 18 months his bat-like craft which looks like the wing of an ordinary airplane, having no fuselage or tail, has undergone exhaustive tests, including more than 200 flights. "I believe it is safe to say," Northrop said, "that the usefulness and economic value of aircraft may be doubled and even trebled through our complete vindication of the flying wing principle." Baron Asks Unions State Stand on Lewis Position Sydney S. Baron, City Fusion candidate City Councilman.

Lewis has seen fit to take a position completely at odds with the expressed opinion of the great majority of C.I.O, unions, that national and the defeat of Hitler most important defense, issues confronting the American people today. Mr. Lewis is, unfortunately, regarded by most people as one of the foremost and popular leaders of the C.I.O. In the interest of organized labor, the C.I.O. should, therefore, repudiate Mr.

Lewis immediately."

"Soon beautiful lighting fixtures will be installed and all Brooklyn rejoices that this long overdue improvement has at last been accomplished. But the demolition of the has revealed for the first time in our generation the ugliness the unrestricted of flaring, signs and neon lights has contributed to this street. "The large department stores and specialty shops have made a great contribution to the beauty and good taste of St. by their attractive displays, 'for which Fulton, they spend thousands of dollars a year. "But of what avail is all this public-spirited planning and unselfish expenditure on the part of the merchants if some restriction is not placed on neon lights and other defacing advertising methods?"

Y. Farley Flays Mayor as 'Cad' Continued from Page 1 reference made by Republican State Chairman Edwin F. Jaeckle on the Court of Appeals decision on the Controllership and contended that G. O. P.

voters should renounce LaGuardia "as a mugwump who is neither a Republican or Democrat." At the same time, he called attention to the "weak statement" made by the Mayor in rejecting Communist support and then noted that LaGuardia had had his picture taken with Representative Vito Marcantonio, "the only Communist Congressman in the United States," as a "sop to his fellow -travelers." Attorney Lashes Mayor Carl Austrian, chairman of the Lawyers Committee for the Election of O'Dwyer, Church and Fertig, today lashed out at the Mayor for his "violent and uncalled-for attack" on the Court of Appeals, which he described as second in importance only to the United States Supreme Court. "LaGuardia is a lawyer," Austrian emphasized, "and that makes his offensive and hideous statements all the more reprehensible. His obvious slur upon the Hon. Irving Lehman, chief judge of the Court. of Appeals, will always be remembered by lawyers with resentment.

"His attack is typical of those who would undermine the sacred institutions of this country and I call upon every lawyer in this city not only to express vocally, but by his vote on Election Day, his resentment of LaGuardia's vicious attack upon our great Court of Appeals. "Of course, no self- -respecting person in this city or State could help but rebel against the Mayor's uncalled -for and abusive attack upon Governor Lehman, who is respected throughout the length and breadth of the land." O'Dwyer, who appeared at seven rallies in Brooklyn and A labor meeting in Manhattan Center, 321 W. 34th termed the Mayor's remarks about the Governor "the blackest insult ever leveled against a great public official by one who is so unprincipled that he forgot decency in his despair of being reelected." At the Bay Ridge High School, where 2,500 persons waited until after midnight to hear him, the prosecutor enumerated his achievements in prosecuting criminals and asserted "the Mayor can't avoid this fact--that gangsters ran rampant in this borough while he looked on and did nothing." Hurls Back Politician Charge "He says that I'm a politician," added O'Dwyer. "Why, he was a politician in Congress when I was a rookie cop in Brooklyn. When I ran for County Judge he came out in support of a named Bayes (Chief Special Sessions Justice William R.

Bayes), who was Republican leader of the 2d A. D. when I wes a rookie cop." The candidate, who upheld labor's right to bargain collectively and to strike and picket at the Manhattan rally, was introduced to the Bay Ridge audience by Attorney General Bennett, who declared that, under O'Dwyer's conduct of the District Attorney's office, "crimes of violence have practically ceased in Kings County." "The Communist party," the Attorney General further stated, "now openly acclaims and campaigns for Mayor LaGuardia and urges the defeat of Bill O'Dwyer on the charge that he is being supported by unAmerican groups. If Amter, Marcantonio and their Communist supporters typify Americanism, then Bill O'Dwyer and his supporters are guilty of the charge." Renewing his personal feud with the Mayor, Edward J. Flynn, Democratic national chairman and Bronx leader, yesterday referred to him as "this vain popinjay, LaGuardia," and asserted that he had been compelled to call in Mrs.

Eleanor Roosevelt to "straighten out the mess" he had created in the Office of Civilian Defense. Moran Charges Boro Lacks Sufficient Police Charges that Brooklyn is insufficiently policed and that too many men are handling special assignments instead of performing patrol duty were injected into the election campaign today by former Assemblyman Bernard J. Moran. independent nominee for the City Council. Mr.

Moran declared a survey by the Police Department was essential to reduce traffic delays, which were costly to business, but that, foremost, pedestrians must be safeguarded. Eastmond Raps Mayor Over Baseball Largess A. H. Eastmond, Brooklyn independent Democrat, has made public a letter to Mayor LaGuardia sharply criticizing him for acts of his official administration. "Your administration has denied a proper compensation to private hospitals and yet has no trouble paying salaries of a baseball team in the Sanitation Department," the letter stated, in part.

Mr. Eastmond is the brother of John E. Eastmond, former deputy commissioner of Water Supply, Gas and Electricity in the Mayor's administration whom the Mayor has rapped several times in campaign statements. "Mr. Mayor," the letter added.

"you may conjure up all the issues you like, but the paramount issue of this campaign will still remain turn the Reds out. "Ther is one respect. in which I A.m like you are; when you make mistake, you make a and I LaGuardia Hits Back at Foes nor.

Willkie today WAS lending his support to Mayor Guardia's third -term campaign on the ground that "we need As our Mayor not alone a believer in our country's foreign policy, but we need a champion who is known and proclaimed as such both here and abroad." The 1940 Republican candidate for President, casting his lot with the Mayor in a speech last night before 14,000 American Labor party members at a rally in Madison Square Garden, also credited LaGuardia with having given the city "the best administration in modern history." Referring to the "part-time Mayor question," Willkie asserted that he "would rather have a part uncontrolled Mayor than three political machine-elected full -time Mayors, who, whether they like it or not, would find themselves inevitably controlled by the political machines." He's 'Overtime Mayor' On his own behalf, the Mayor declared that he had been chosen National Director of Civilian Defense because he had long been interested in such he work, and that "all New York knows that I'm not a parttime Mayor--I'm an overtime Mayor and I'm not getting time and a half" Mention of LaGuardia's quarrel with Governor Lehman, an original indorser of the American Labor party, tended to quiet the audience's otherwise readily responsive humor, and the Mayor himself used a minimum of adjectives in noting that the Governor had approved his defense appointment.
