DENIES SEEKING. ' JARDINE AS HEAD Florida Citrus Groups’ Lead- er Says His Organizations Had No Part in Move. By the Associated Press. In a statement reaching this city | ste Vesterday. A. M. Pratt, acting chair- man of the Florida citrus clearing committee and of the Fruitman's Club, declared that neither of these organizations has had any connection with the reported organization of a general co operative fruit growers and shippers’ exchange which sought Secretary Jardine as its head Investigating these reports, Pratt said, he found that a group of men” had been in V ton “claiming to represent the Flor- ida clearing house movement.” Ready to Function. “It is plainly evident from the names secured so far,” he continued, “and from the fact that none of the: gentlemen conferred with the clear- ing house committee, that this step is simply one initiated and undertaken By the Florida Citrus Exchange and should not be confused in the minds of any grower with the broad under- lying principles for which the Fruit- man'’s Club clearing house committee ‘was formed, and for which it stands ready to function as soon as final or- sanization papers are received. “As chairman of the committee, 1 speak for the great majority when we express regret of any abortive at- tempt being made by any one citrus faction that would interfere with Secretary Jardine's department giving the committee the immediate benefit of its unbiased judgment, or that would otherwise interfere with Wash- ington giving us the support for which the committee has been so long wait- ing, and which was promised by Sec- retary Jardine.” Plea for Co-ordination. Mr. Pratt made a plea for co-ordina- tion of effort among all factions in ‘werking out the problems of the citrus fruit growers and shippers. He warn- ed against attempting ‘‘secretly and mysterlously to bring about a mis- cal e of the plan that has been adopted by the Fruitman’s Club which has been submitted to Secretary Jar- dine for recommendations and ap- proval. “The Fruitman's Club committee,” he said, in conclusion, *reprcsenting all factors, will continue to work along practical lines for a clearing house ‘which will bring about true co-ordina- tion between all interested. “I am sure I speak for all members of the clearing house in expressing the hope that recent developments will in no way interfere with the Flor- ida Citrus Exchange officials co-oper- ating with other members of the Fruit- man’'s Club in establishing the clear- ing house so greatly needed for this season’s business.” e Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay | recently signed a contract with a Mr. French company for the transporta- tion of mail on a combined airplane and steamer route. “TRADS MARS MO uts Wings Capt. Cyreno Brett, Master of Army Tank, To Display Skill at Military Carnival Nine years ago in France, high rank- ing officers of the A. E.

They won't be hurt by a simple thing like a drop of 6 feet or so.” And to prove that it could be done, Brett mounted a flat car and pro- ceeded to drive a flock of whippets over the drop, front end first, then the rear skid dropping down on the hard packed earth at the side of the railway embankment. The Army was never faced with the need for doing the stunt, but Brett had proven it could | be done.
