which tells the air lines what radio wave This is so compli-cate- d lengths to use that the air transport companies maintain an organization in Washington called Aeronautical Radio Inc to keep track of the Idiocy cles Still another is the Department of which climbs aboard Agriculture all United States oversea and foreign airplanes and looks in the passengers’ luggage for Japanese beetles or what have they Agriculture’s weather bureau is the only agency that gives service without attached regulating strings Much as aviation's friends in congress would like to give it a new deal from the government it is doubtful if they will go for it under the reorganization plan © BU Syndicate —WNU Service v U a VK V V V n Anglo-ltalia- n Plans a large majority SUPPORTED by British of commons Prime Minister Neville Chamber-lai- moved rapidly toward realization of his plan for appeaseEuropean ment the basis of which was to be a speedy truce with Italy to be followed by a four -
