SPRINGS— CANADIAN PAC HOTEL GOVERNOR SEEKS ECONOMIG PACT oodring and Other Mid-Con- tinent Executives to Urge Legislative Parity. By the Assoclated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, April 18.— Gov. Harry H. Woodring of Kansas today called a conference of governors of nine States in the mid-continent area for consideration of his proposal for estab- lishment of an economic compact, de- signed to obtain parity with other sec- tions in national legislation. Invitations to the conference, to be held in Wichita, Kans, May 19, were sent to executives of Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Nebraska, Wyo- ming, Texas and New Mexico. “The economic problems in the nine mid-continent States,” Gov. Woodring said in letters addressed to the other governors, “are crying for solution.” . . . ‘Would Establish Parity, “It is evident that sooner or later the States interested in the success of agriculture and those interested in the preservation of the oil industry must form an economic compact which has for its purpose the establishment of a parity with other sections in the matter of national legislation affecting their economic welfare.” . . . “It cannot be denied that the bene- ¢[fits of Federal laws since the World War have accrued to the East through the political subsidizing of industry. and that this sectional legislation has been detrimental to the agricultural West and South. resulting in a serious crisis in our great basc industries—agriculture and oil.” Gov. Woodring pointed out the pro- posed Wichita conference would pre- cede the annual conference of gover- nors to be held at French Lick Springs, Ind, in June. “The advantage of a full discussion of the economic plight of agriculture and oll in the mid-continental area be- fore the conference at French Lick Springs is obvious,” he sald. Amplifying his formal announcement, the Governor said he beHeved the pro- posed compact should be in the interest of not only agriculture and the oil in- dustry, but all natural resources, in- cluding coal, salt and other minerals.

NANY ARPLAE SILES REPORTED Romance Crowded Into Back- ground by Business at Aircraft Show. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, April 18.—Romance, once aviation’s theme song, has been crowded into the background by business. Behind the color and dazzle of the 1931 National Aircraft Show, closing an eight-day run tomorrow as the opening gun of a Nation-wide sales program, business was in the atmosphere. From manufacturers’ reports, it was estimated that between 250 and 300 planes were ordered or contracted for since the opening of the show. 200 Sales Claimed. The effort to appeal to the private purchaser was emphasized in the num- ber of small planes displayed, with the result that one maker of midget planes claimed sales of more than 200 of his craft, “Actual sales on the floor to fiyers and in form of dealers’ contracts,” said Ray Cooper, general manager of the show, “were greater than ever before. Formerly many makers made sales be- fore show time and announced them during the exposition. “Such was not the case this year. Too Busy to Complain, “In other years exhibitors had so much time on their hands that com- plaints on how the show was being run was their major outlet. This year, it seems to me, they have been too busy getting business to bother with any- thing else.” Part of the concentration on business principles was marked by the show it- self in that it is the year's only major aircraft exposition. Next year the trend will be even more pronounced by recommendation of the Show Committee of the Aeronautical Chamber of Com- merce to hold a single show early in February. A single show early in the year, the committee said, will give the exposition a greater number of new models and lengthen the selling season. Next year's show will lie between three cities—Detroit, Kansas City and Indianapolis—with each given 60 days in which to submit proposals. JADWIN PLACE FILLED Col.
