India Will Co-operate on Pitt- man Silver Plan. By the Associated Press. LONDON, June 26—Senator James Couzens of Michigan, American dele- , Bate, stirred the ‘World Economic Con- ) ference today by declaring in a speech jthat the world's debt structure must {be adjusted. He emphasized the necessity of or- | ganizing creditors throughout the world and of establishing some form of per- manent body to act in an advisory capacity between organized creditors and organized debtors. ‘The Republican Senator did not men- tion war debts, but referred to indebt- edness in general. He warned that *this is in no sense to be construed as an invitation to debtors able to pay to scale down their obligations.” “Certainly it is not an invitation to default,” he said. He urged world-wide action to raise prices and to increase the demand for raw materials in his address, made be- fore the subcommission on immediate measures for financial reconstruction. The Senator asserted he did not be- leve “that prices can be raised by monetary means alone.” Must Boost Buying Power. He asserted that at the same time the purchasing power must be increased by such measures as public works and that the burden of debt “must be lightened.” He cited measures already taken by the United States in these directions. Senator Couzens declared an in- creased demand for raw materials, as contemplated bane American program, offers in his opinion “far more hape for world recovery than can possibly be ex- pected merely from a reduction in tariff duties on a number of manufactured articles which are highly competitive between nations.” The lone Republican in the American delegation e on elaboration of the resolution the Americans have intro- WORLD DEBT LOAD Airdromes Built in Wilderness 10J0S ANDNEELY | ch WASHINGTON, ‘WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION ening Star.

The greatest peace-time job in the history of the Army Air Corps, involv- ing thousands of miles of flying into the great national and State forest areas of the Nation, and probably the eventual establishment in the wilder- ness of temporary airdromes, is growing out of the Civilian Conservation Corps activities. The first official indications of the amazing extent to which the Air Corps is being called upon to co-operate with the forestry army were shown today as Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois, chief of the Air Corps, who has just returned forestry camps, called into conference a large group of his fleld commanders. The Air Corps chiefs immediately plunged into the task of working out arrangements for the fullest Air Corps co-operation with the widely scattered |civillan army. The results of their | work may involve the pressing into | service of every available Army plane and pilot. Army Air Corps units in the 6th and 7th Corps Areas, from which Gen.

A Fascist militia officer in civilian clothes started after him.

Dodds was a witness at the hearing into delay in prosecution of alleged de- falcations in the Harriman National Bank & Trust Co. Neely is & member of the Senate committee. Dodds had assumed full responsibil- ity for the delay and after he had given lengthy explanation of his motive in s0 doing, Senator Neely accused him of attempting to “whitewash” the Har- riman matter. Dodds sprang to his feet and shouted: “I think the Senator knows he is not telling the truth.” Neely also jumped to his feet and the two men squared off across the table at which committee and witness sat as though they were about to strike each other. Quiet Is Restored. “Gentlemen, gentlemen,” cried Sen- ator Henry F. Ashurst, the committee chairman, and deputy marshals moved in toward the disputants. Senator Patrick McCarran of Nevada moved around the table to calm Dodds and Senator Ashurst put a restraining hand on Senator Neely's shoulder. “Sit down, gentlemen, please,” Ash- urst begged. “I came here to do my duty hon- estly,” Dodds exclaimed, his face scarlet. “You sit down,” Ashurst demanded. Dodds obeyed and then Senator Neely subsided. “I understand it is very hot and stuffy in here,” the chairman remarked blandly. “Now let us proceed.” ‘The former Assistant United States Attorney General was called as a wit- ness after United States Attorney George Z.

Dr. Young could not be reached im- mediately for a report on the Senator's conditicn, but the operation is not con- | sidered a serious one. | Senator Borah entered the hospital last week for what was reported to be his annual health check. At Dr. Young's office, the Senatcr was said to be in “perfect condition” after the operation. “He has gone to his room in fine shape,” one of Dr. Young's aides said. ‘The operation will require that Sena- tor Borah remain in the hospital for several weeks, it was said. Mrs. Borah, wife of the Senator, came to Baltimore from Washington early to- day to be with her husband and was in the Joospital at the time the opera- tion was performed. She sald Senator Borah was “resting quite easily” and that the physicians said the operation had been “very much of a success.” When she first looked in the Sena- tor's room soon after the operation, she said, he was not conscious and ap- peared to be in great pain. Shortly before 11:30 a.m., she looked in again and found him regaining con- sciousness and apparently not in as much pain. He recognized her at that time.

While no officlal denial was forth- coming on these reports, 45 business leaders were in session with Secretary of Commerce Roper to aid the Com- merce Department to effect a long-range industrial planning system to block future national maladjustments.

Industrial leaders were told at the long-range _planning conference the Commerce Department contends one of the underlying causes of the present eccnomic depression was the practice by industry of concentrating on pro- duction problems, while ignoring the equally important phases of distribue tion and consumption. : The leaders were asked to map out some plan for improving distribution methods to correct this lack of balance, The department further contends that a reduction of distribution waste would contribute largely to increased consump- tion of industrial and agricultural en- e Telsble quarters reported reliable quas it was friction had developed after President Roosevelt named the Cabinet Advisory Committee to supervise and approve all recommendations and plans of Brig.

In very heavy trading, cotton futures climbed $2.50 to $3 a bale. reaching the highest levels in about two years.
