Eastman Satur- day warned congress of a “threatening chaos” in the nation’s transportation eystem. Choosing words carefully, he argued that it be averted by placing complete control of water, motor truck and bus transportation under the interstate commerce commission. The report by the federal coord- inator of transportation was the sec- ond in a series he will make to Presi- dent Roosevelt and congress. In it he answered an emphatic “yes” to these two questions: “Is there need for federal legisia- tion to regulate proper coordination of all means of transport?” “Is there need for amendments to the federal statutes to improve de- tails of the present system of regulat- ‘Time Not Yet Ripe Eastman’s first report outlined a tentative plan for government opera- tion of the railroads, and another for enforced consolidation, but said the time was not yet ripe for either.

He “The natural result has been a bit- ter struggle for traffic, not only be- tween the various forms of transpor- tation, but within each subdivision or group, and this struggle has been in- tensified by the depression.” Protection Of All The object of handing such sweep- ing control to the ICC, he said, was not only the protection of the rail- roads, but also “the proper protection of every form of transportation.” Each can do certain things better than the other, he said, and added bluntly: It is too milch to expect that all of the present facilities of - tion in each group can survive, for North Dakota’s Oldest Newspaper } ) Queen Among Mothers-in-Law — Targets of. cruel quips—and sometimes heavier objects— from time immemorial, reward at last came to mothers-in-law, when Amarillo, Tez. held the first public celebration in their honor.

The adjustment board will assist) Case in Behalf, of Dairy pectors Launched ‘in District Court A test case to determine the valid- ity of Governor William Langer’s partial veto of appropriation meas- ures passed by the last legislature opened in Burleigh county district court Saturday. The action is a suit for salaries for inspectors of the state dairy depart- ment. The governor vetoed the item for employing dairy inspectors, leav- ing only the salary for the state dairy commissioner. The case, brought by the dairy di- vision against the state auditing board, which passes on salary vouch- ers, revolves around whether the ‘lconstitution gives the governor au- thority to make partial vetoes of an appropriation bill by cutting out items and by reducing the amount allowed by the legislature. Twenty-four departments were af- fected by partial vetoes. State Senator W. E. Matthaei and Charles L. Foster, Bismarck, are rep- resenting the dairy department, while Assistant Attorney General C. E. Verret represents the auditing board, compdsed of the governor, State Au- ditor Berta E. Baker, Secretary of State Robert Byrne, State Examiner Adam A. Lefor and State Treasurer Alfred Dale.

Also it enjoyed the first fruit of its hour-reducing cam- paign. The announcement that department store sales increased 17 per cent for the first two months of 1934 as com- pared with last year came from the federal reserve board. Announcement of a proposed 10 per cent hour slash, without a reduction in pay, was made by the refractories industry. The employment of about 2,000 more men was indicated. ‘The NRA, however, continued to have troubles of its own. Three ma- Jor resignations on its staff became known. Dr. Paul H. Douglas of the consum- ers advisory board, resigned, effective April 1, to return to the University of Chicago; Major R. B. Paddock, depu- ty administrator, will leave within a few days to head the cotton garment industry, and L. H. Tompkins, person- nel adviser to General Johnson, has left to resume his office as executive vice president of United States Rub- ber Co. Meanwhile, blue eagle enforcement. activities boomed as NRA and the de- partment of justice, with an addition-| al force, undertook the immediate ex- amination of several hundred com- plaints with a view to quick action in the courts. State and federal attorneys in Col- orado were called on to take over seven complaints under the coal code. Division administrator A. D. White- side, one of NRA’s oldest members, has renewed his efforts to resign, re- questing Johnson to excuse him by the end of this month. ‘The federal reserve board said Feb- ruary department store sales showed a 16 per cent increase over this month last year, with every federal reserve district sharing in the boost. ate sales for the first two months of 1934, it said, brought the increase to 17 per cent above the same 1933 months, Fletcher, Robinson Washington, March 10.—(P)—A conflict between administration lead- ers over the Fletcher-Rayburn stock market control bill roughened the road ahead of that controversial measure Saturday. Chairman Fletcher of the senate banking committee, a co-author of the bill, stood fast by his point that the federal trade commission should majority leader—was on the side of the fence. He suggested that congress “create a new agency” to control the markets. Robinson earlier had expressed doubt whether the bill would be ready for final passage before congress ad- journs. He later said it should be limited to wipe out certain recognized “evils.” His idea for a separate con- trol agency is in general line with similar suggestions by the exchanges. -estahanacnanielieeimmenes ‘:|?

To Secretary Dern, he directed the stopping of all “carrying of air mail except on such routes, under such, weather conditions and under such equipment and personnel conditions as will insure, as far as the utmost care can provide, against recurrence of fatal accidents.” He recognized the adverse weather conditions but said “nevertheless, the Bismarck May Get New Air Service Omaha, Neb, March 1—)— Paul D.
