~ oe DRASTIC ACTION FOR NORTHERN AIR ROUTE TAKEN BY SENATORS Knock Air-Mail Subsidy From Postoffice Bill Leaving Brown Powerless Drastic action toward extension of the air-mail line from Bismarck to the Pacific coast has been taken by the bloc of senators from the Northwest, according to information reaching here from Washington. After fighting vainly for the west- ward extension for two years, the Northwest bloc has turned on the Postoffice department and knocked the entire $19,000,000 air-mail subsidy out of the department's appropria- tions bill. This development has cleared the ‘way for a sweeping investigation of air-mail contract awards under Post- Master General Brown, it is under- The blow will take the air-mail contract situation from control of Postmaster General Brown, leaving it inistration, pro- viding the house conferees accept the; senate amendment. | Democrats and insurgents from the} Northwest combined to vote down the air-mail provision in a 39 to 35 vote.) On the heels of this action came announcement from Senator Robin- gon, Democratic leader, that senate! Democrats are determined to get the truth about air-mail contracts. | Will Be Called Soon Senator McKellar, Democrat of ‘Tennessee, asserted ahat his resolu- vestigation racts prob- ably will be called up in the senate Postoffice committee soon after the Democrats get control March 4. The emphatic senate action today represented a sudden victory for Sen- ator Nye, Republican of North Da- kota, who for more than a year has led the fight for extension of the northern _trans-continental route westward from Bismarck to Seattle. Nye for days has been telling Sen- ator Robinson that the airmail fund should be stricken out entirely, pre- venting the postoffice department. under Postmaster General Brown's direction, from making allocations from new appropriations. Robinson assented today. “Postmaster General Brown can|sion, was related to Ramstad. He/at 60 to the dollar in May, 1921. take his staff and move out before March 4, leaving the airmail «lloca- tions for later settlement,” Senator Robinson said. Seeks Congress Inquiry ‘The Democratic leader said he hop- ed a formal congressional investiga- tion can be avoided but if so other means to get complete information will have to be found. He said the vote does not at all mean the end of federal assistance in developing avia- tion but merely postponement of allo- cations of funds. “An investigation of these contracts is certainly in order.” McKellar said. “We ought to go to the bottom of them to learn the truth about whis- pers of scandal and discrimination.” “To have deprived the present post- effice administration of the oppor- tunity to allocate the nineteen-mil- lion-dollar appropriations for the year beginning 1933,” Senator Nye said, “is a great victory. The present ad- ministration has been so adverse to the Northwest that it was impossible to get the extension to the Pacific. All we got was a series of broken promises. We have reason to expect fair play for the Northwest in dis- tribution of airmail facilities from the incoming administration.” Nye said any investigation prob- ably would cover charges that the Ppostoffice department has been aid- ing monopoly of aviation by awards and extensions to favorite air lines. He said that three assistants in the Postoffice department have sons or brothers employed by favorite airmail contractors. “This ought to be investigated, too,” Nye said. Although the Northwest senators and representatives long have been fighting for the extension, today’s up- hheaval was the most violent reaction in the entire controversy. Victory for Northwest Seen ‘The Northwest senators considered the action a victory for their region on the ground that the airmail ex- tension will have a chance under the Roosevelt administration, whereas they say it has none under the Brown | | Except for Senator Schall, Repub- lhean of Minnesota, practically all Northwest senators joined Robinson and McKellar in their move to strike ut the whole fund.

He said the premium on the bond \for the T.

He said he had conferred with the ;commission and also reported he had designed many North Dakota build- ings, adding he believed he could | have handled the work of the capitol, He said the “usual” fee for archi- ‘ tectural work was five per cent of the contract but sometimes it varied.

No Tile On Ground Charles Weigle of Hebron testified briefly that the Hebron Brick com- pany had been told the tile and brick had to be on the site of the capitol by October, 1932, if the Hebron com- pany furnished the brick and that the commission had been told the brick company could not furnish the brick on such short notice. He added he had visited the capi- tol on the last few days and had fail- ed to see any brick on the ground “even yet.” J. M. Davis, Bismarck, superintend- ent of construction for the Lundoff- Bicknell company, general contrac- tors, reported as he named the em- ployes under him that the son of; George L. Bangs, commission mem- ber, employed at a salary of $20 a week and had been since construc- tion work started. Davis said he had several North Daxota men on the job and agreed to furnish the committee with a com- plete list of employes on the job in the last few days, together with ad- dresses, after Sen. Bangert had re- quested it. | He told Bangert and the commit-} tee that Anders “represented the state” on the job. Just before the hearing closed Davis was questioned regarding a sign in the construction company’s office at the capitol which listed doctors who might be called in case of acci- dent. He said until recently the name of the Quain & Ramstad clinic had appeared alone but that one of his employes voluntarily had added the names of other Bismarck doctors about two weeks ago, though there “was no occasion for it.” Under examination Davis said he had “heard” that Fred Conklin, Bis- marck member of the capitol commis- said some one authorized by the in- vestigating committee had come to his office and, though the man start- ed to take a picture of the sign on the wall while he was out of the room, he told him as he returned he could have the sign to take along to the committee. Davis said he had informed his em- ployers of the committee's request for the sub-contracts mentioned in his subpoena. Sinkler said he does not expect to call any members of the commission to the stand, at least under present plans. J. M. Davis, located in Bis- marck and employed by Lundoff- Bicknell, general contractors for the capitol building, has been subpoenaed, Sinkier said, and has been asked to produce sub bids of the contractors. Joseph Bell DeRemer, one of the state architects, probably will be ex- amined, but probably will not be called before Monday. MORAL PHASES OF NATIONAL DRY LAW ARE GIVEN AIRING Author of Repeal Bill Asks ‘Temperate Solution’ of Liquor Question Emphasizing that the future gener- ation “should be given an environ- ment of decency and temperance,” (Rep. W. J. Godwin, Mandan, author of the bill which would provide regu- lation of manufacture and sale of beer if legalized by congress, urged a favorable recommendation for his measure at the hearing of the house temperance committee Thursday night. He added a temperate solution should be worked out between wets and drys and replied to statements made at Wednesday's hearings. He said laws prohibiting drunken driv- ing, marriage by drunkards, appoint- ment of custodians for drunkards and similar necessary laws would not be repealed by his bill. Dr. John Crawford, New Rockford, made a plea for “lager beer.” He ex- plained the scientific preparation of the beer, declaring four per cent beer would not be harmful. He said that since prohibition the increase in de- linquency of girls has been the great- est in history. ° Mike Egan of Westdal told the com- mittee the evil lies in excess, not in “We need regulation, not prohibiton,” he added. Stating he was “bone dry,” Rev. F. E. Logee, Bismarck, said the bill should be considered on the “common ground of responsibility to our state.” His talk consisted of reading excerpts from the Wickersham report, that state cooperation is and that it was impractical for the feder- al government alone to enforce the prohibition laws effectively. Rev. Logee said the repeal bill is “destructive” and that regulations provided in it for manufacture and sale of beer are “inadequate.” “Every dollar spent in beer parlors puts fewer men to work than any oth- lared.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1938 lEffects of Inflation | land and Even United State Are Examples whenever it appears likely that we are going to have inflation. England demonstrated that while she couldn’t stand @ run from foreign countries, she was in no danger of a “gold rush” by her own people. Amer- ica's big danger appears to come from within. It is now generally conceded that foreign countries can’t shake us off the gold standard. What our own citizens might do to the gold supply if they really got to working on it is somehing else again.

Washington, Feb. 3—The effects of currency inflation appear to be un- predictable. Germany and Russia tried it with resultant chaos. France tried it and survived, at the expense of millions of her citizens and to the enrich- ment of others, Great Britain went off the gold standard and doesn’t notice any great difference, But England hasn't experienced in- flation, since she didn’t expand her currency as was widely expected when she was forced off gold nearly 18 months ago. She seems to have no desire to return to gold in the near future.
