Mr. Farley, appearing before the senate committee Investigating air mall affairs, declared that no one deplored the fatalities more than ha, but that the Tost Office department depart-ment had felt It must cancel the contracts and had acted on the basis of the law and the conditions under which it had found the contrails con-trails had been made. He assured the committee that as rapidly as possible the department would work out a new policy In the public Interest Inter-est with respect to the air mall and would take Into account the Interests Inter-ests of the operators. The postmaster general had been summoned especially to confront his predecessor, Walter F. Brown, and to consent to Mr. Rrown's repeat-leg repeat-leg a remark he said Mr. Farley had made to hlra about Senator Hugo L. Clack, chairman of the committee. This was; "He's Just a publicity hound. But don't tell anybody I said so, because I've got to get along with him," Mr. Farley Immediately denied that he had said any such thing, and, scarlet faced, he departed for Jew York amid roars of laughter. Ills denial was necessary, doubtless, doubt-less, but It didn't seem to Impress anyone. Speaker Kidney says the army afr corps Is Inefficient and poorly trained, and for this he blames the three previous Republican administrations. admin-istrations. He Indicated he would support a resolution already approved ap-proved by the house rules committee commit-tee calling for Investigation of War department methods. Ma J. Oen. Ben Founds, chief of the Army Air corps, defended his men warmly. spokesman for Japan denied that hostilities are imminent. "The world need not be afraid that Russia and Japan are on the verge of war," be said. "All of these protests and the noisy fuss are a good sign that the danger of war Is far away.

The Philadelphia boy fought gamely and more skillfully than the giant Italian, but lost the decision in eleven of the fifteen rounds. SECRETARY OF WAR DERN, probably following the Ideas of General MacArthur, chief of staff, told the military affairs committee of the house that he was decidedly opposed to congressional plans for an independent and greatly en larged air corps, ne was arguing against two bills Introduced by the committee providing for the pur chase of 4.384 military airplanes and for the separation of the army air corps from the Jurisdiction of the general staff, and the granting to yep I slon which deal with telegraph and telephone regulation. Mr. Roosevelt said the new body should be given "full power to in vestigate and study the business or existing companies and make rec ommendations to the congress for additional legislation at the neit session." This means that If the President's desires are carried out, as they un doubtedly will be, the question of communications mergers will go over for determination next year, Senator Scball of Minnesota, Re- Dubllcan. was aroused to strong protest against the proposed conv r..io.tn uoartinv that It meant the newspapers would be subjected to officers and enlisted men of the air Iha ailmlnlatrfltlnn I CHILIS KWOl luuiutuoouvu nuu OOW the President proposes to carry on the relief program was revealed at a press conference. In addition to continuation of the CWA lo cities, relief of distressed families fam-ilies in rural regions Is to be placed on a new basis, and the government is to undertake the transportation of entire communities from non-operating coal mine localities and similar centers of unemployment to the subsistence homestead colonies vhlch are being created with $23,-IXK,0X) $23,-IXK,0X) of public works funds. In rural regions families In distress dis-tress are to be helped to raise enough food for subsistence and to get part time employment In Industries Indus-tries snd on road building and other oth-er public works. Communities of miners, out of work because of the closing down of coal mines, the President calls stranded populations." They were left stranded when work gave out and there Is no prospect of a resumption re-sumption of mine operations. In most cases the mines hsve been exhausted. ex-hausted. The President said the undertaking un-dertaking would be to move an appreciable ap-preciable number of such families to localities where they can maintain main-tain themselves on small tracts of land with Incidental industrial employment em-ployment which Is the subsistence homestead Idea now being tried out at Reedsvltle, W. Va. Concerning that Reedsvllle plant, t pet of Mrs. Roosevelt's, it Is Interesting In-teresting to read that the house refused by a margin of 103 votes to approve the construction and op eration there f a factory to make post office furniture. The project was denounced as "a plunge into state socialism.

He propoed that 'he new commission take over the duties of the federal radio commission and the functions ef the Interstate Commerce commis- censorshln by and that "not one word of the skullduggery skull-duggery committed In Washington could reach the people of the United States." THERE are signs indicating that the administration Is going to modify Its stand and that of its predecessors concerning the war debts. Some Republicans In the senate tried to put through a reso lution offered by Robinson of In dlana asking the President, If not lncomnatlble with public Interest, to inform the senate by what agree ments he had accepted token pay ments from Great Britain, Italy and Czechoslovakia and had recognized them as not In default. It also asked whnt steps. If any, have been taken to Induce defaulting nations to pay ; whether any understandings have been reached concerning re vision; and whether any assurances have been given Unking debt pay ments with tariff concessions. The Democratic leadership In the senate succeeded In having the resolution reso-lution sidetracked into the foreign relations committee. Senator Robin son of Arkansas made a speech openly referring to the necessity for some further concessions on the part of the United States If any further payments are to be obtained, but he denied that negotiations looking to revision had taken place yet. The vote on the motion to com mit the resolution showed there has been a considerable change, from the opinion held In the senate In December, 10.11, when the Hoover moratorium resolution was passed successfully only after It had been amended to Include a reservation reiterating congress unalterable opposition op-position to revision or cancellation of the debts.

Mr. Dern held that the air corps was only a co-ordinate part of the army, that Its flying officers and men were not heroes of glory any more than the Infantry anjd the ar tillery, that the whole army organization or-ganization must proceed In balance and that the air corps has had more than Its rightful share of progress in recent years. N' I - - j H fc i L .... si J Henry Ford TMIKKE'S A world and a new emperor In the a new dynasty has been founded. By direction of Ja pan, Henry Pu yl, who In his Infan cy was the "boy emperor" of China. and who has been the chief executive of Manchukuo, has been enthroned as emperor of that puppet state. The young man he is twenty-eight as sumed the name of Kang Teh, which being interpreted is "tranquillity and virtue. He proba Emperor Kang Th bty Is virtuous, but the tranquillity is problematical In view of the way Japan and Russia are snarling at each other, for If those nations go to war the scene of the contllct will be the newly established e.o plre which used to be Manchuria. Great preparations were made for the coronation ceremony, but Henry's Japanese sponsors were so apprehensive of attempts on his life that the public was not admitted to the rites tn Hslnklng, the capital The emperor rode the five miles from the palace to the "attar of heaven" tu an American bullet proof automobile and the route was protected by barbed wire stockades and lined with thousands of troops. For every three Manchuknan soldiers sol-diers la the lines there was one Jap anese soldier, and also there were swarms of secret police. Simultaneously with the elevation of the new ruler, his invalid wife. Tueh Hua. was vested with the dig nities of queenhood, although her health precluded her participation In the ceremonies. At A.i ano soviet Russia are now quarreling over military airplane flights over each other's ter ritory, snd have exchanged sharp notes or protest Though the situa tion seems to be tense, aa oCkiai rRA and the Ford Motor com pany are tangling up in another fight. The company was charged by workers with having refused to bar- g a I n collectively with their representatives repre-sentatives at the Edgewater (N. J.) and Chester (Pa.) plants, and William 11. Davis, national compliance director, direc-tor, arranged to hear both sides at a meeting in Washington. Wash-ington. Secretary Craig of the Ford company sent Davis a long letter denying the concern had violated any provision of the automobile code of the national re covery act, and refusing to send a representative to the meeting. The NRA thereupon notified President Edsel Ford that it would Investi gate the charges "without his cooperation." The automobile Industry was dis turbed by widespread labor troubles and the threat of a general walk out. Difficulties over nnion organ Izatlon and demands for pay Increases In-creases are at the bottom of al the row. At Milwaukee, Wis., 1,200 em ployees of the Seaman Body cor poration voted to go on strike In sympathy with the walkout of 1.200 workers In the Racine division of the Nash Motor company. UNDER the management of Gen. Hugh Johnson, the NRA opened a series of public hearings In Wash ington, open to all Individuals and organizations Hint wanted to pre sent suggestions or complaints con cerning policies or administration of the NRA codes. The possible bene fits from such hearings appeared to be lessened by the restrictions de creed by General Johnson. He ruled that all speakers should be consld ered as "witnesses ; that only facts might be presented, and that no argument would be permitted. General Johnson opened the pro ceedings by admitting NHA had many faults that he hoped would be corrected. Then came the flood of complaints, starting with those of small business men who assert the codes have operated against thera and in favor of the large concerns. Mrs. Plnchot, wife of the governor of Pennsylvania, unexpectedly ap peared and declared the government had been defeated by the "steel trust," and she was supported by Edward F. McGrady. assistant sec retary of labor. Mrs. Plnchot said that In the cases of the big steel companies the workers had been betrayed by the NRA, snd she made a oilier personal bubc no ventr al Johnson. Next day the cause of labor was brought more prominent ly to the front by Mr. McGrady and others who declared employers had been evading the code .wislona at the expense of their employees. o NCR more the tariff comes op President has sent to congress a re quest for new powers permitting him to fix the tariff within wide lira-Its. lira-Its.

The new authority would be limited to three years and no article could be placed on the free list or removed from It It was pre dicted that many Republicans and some Democrats would oppose the scheme, but that It would get through congress after long debate.
