The battle of fliers left behind from Friday's Bendix transcontinental race lay between Colonel Roscoe Turner, James Granger and Lieutenant Mur- ray D. Dilley.

Lioyd Garrison is chairman of the board. Despite denunciation from a spokes~ man for business. the federal emer- gency relief administration gave no indication of changing its policy un- less the labor board brands a strike unjustified. From the FERA came word that criticism was due to “misunderstand- ing.” Harry L.
