A8 BECK ASKS RALLY FOR CONSTITUTION Basic Principles Fighting for Existence, Declares Representative. By the Associated Press. A call for a great rally to the de- fense of the Constitution was sounded last night by James M. Beck, former solicitor general and member of Con- gress, who declared the “basic princi- ples of the Constitution are fighting for their very existence.” “In recent years, men in high au- thority, who took a solemn oath to defend the Constitution without res- ervation or mental evasion, have eaten away vital portions of the Constitu- tion,” he said in a radio broadcast of the American Liberty League, “some- times by super-subtle interpretation and sometimes by bald usurpation e “Thoughtful men may well be con- cerned, not only with clear violations of the constitutional limitations, but with abandonment of its basic the- ories. Human Rights Question. “For example, there has been an insistent effort by men in high place and low place, including those radio orators who fill the heavens with their insensate clamor, that we who love the Constitution are subordinating human rights to property rights. | “Indeed, when the formation of the American Liberty League was an- nounced, it was suggested that its founders failed to take sufficient ac- count of human rights. False Distinction. “If there be any just distinction between human righis and property rights, the American Liberty League is more concerned with the former than with the latter, but the distinc- | tion is false and invidious. “Is not the right to property a hu- | man right? Property has no rights, but human beings have a right to| property, and it is one of the most an- cient and sacred of all rights.

THE - EVENING STAR WASHINGTON, D. ¢, THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1935. BY REX COLLIER. RIME has sprouted wings. Because of the increasing number of criminals who have turned their attention to air traffic, Eugene Vidal, director of the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Air Commerce, has arranged to co-operate with the Justice Depart- ment’s Bureau of Investigation in recording identification marks of ‘all would-be airplane pilots. Hereafter all medical examiners of the Bureau of Air Commerce will in- clude in their reports on physical examination of applicants for pilots’ licenses full information regarding scars, birth marks, tattooing, teeth peculiarities and other characteristics which might aid in identification. Frequently Have Experience. Special agents of J. Edgar Hoover’s bureau frequently are called upon to investigate suspects who have had flying experience. Recently they learned that a fugitive implicated in the robbery of a mail messenger in Pennsylvania was interested in avia- tion. He had used several “aliases” and these were supplied to the Com- merce Department with a request that the aviation files be searched for such 8 name. The Bureau of Air Commerce had & record of a student license issued un- der one of the aliases, and were able to give Hoover's men an accurate de- scription of the man’'s physical ap- pearance—information of great value | in the hunt for him. Aviation license records furnish an important clue to the identity of the writer of extortion letters threatening to kidnap the daughter of the late Smith Reynolds several years ago. The letters, signed “The Four Musketeers, also threatened death to Joseph Can: non, the child’s uncle, who is an ama- teur flyer. In naming Cannon’ the extortion- right to property have ever since been the very essence of civilization.” Feaztmz'ng’ fambzts ESTATE RANGES ist used an erroneous middle initial ' Inquiry disclosed that Cannon’s pilot “The TABLETOP” license had been issued by the De- partment of Commerce under the wrong initial—the same as that used in the note. In the meantime, however, other agents, following instructions in the letter for payment of trapped one “Reds” Boyles, parachute rigger at the air fleld. He confessed when confronted with evidence against him, which included the erroneous ini- tiai. Boyles now is in prison.
