To The Evening Star: ‘Wishing to have a part in per- petuating the memory of one of our most beloved and useful citi- zens, 1 inclose herewith my con- tribution of to the Will Rogers Memorial Fund. I under- stand that this gift will be added to others from Washington, D. C., and will go without ahy deduc- tions whatsoever to the National Fund to be expended, also without any deduction, as the memorial Committee may determine. Name .. Address A $1,000,000 hospital has been given #s a Will Rogers memorial at Saranac, N. Y, by the National Variety Artists’ Fund, Inc, it was announced today by Capt. E. V. Rickenbacker of the ‘Will Rogers Memorial Commission. The money to maintain the hospital for five years has been given, it was snnounced, by five major theater groups—Fox West Coast Theaters, Loew's, Inc.; Paramount Theaters Service Corp., Radio-Keith-Orpheum Corp. and Warner Bros. Theaters Cir- cuit. These groups have contributed for support of the hospital $500,000. The hospital and funds to run it come as a fitting tribute to Will Rog- ers, who was outstanding in the the- atrical profession and did much for it himself. ‘The hospital and its fund, however, Rickenbacker explained, “will be quite aside and apart from the expenditure ©f other funds contributed.” Explaining that the memorial funds will be devoted largely-to aid handi- cipped children all over the country, Rickenbacker said Rogers always fol- Jdived the advice of the Great Teacher, “Suffer little children to come unto 5 “He always loved children,” said Rickenbacker of Rogers, “and made them his friends, particularly the un- fortunate, the crippled and the needy.” FORMER INSPECTOR IN BALTIMORE DIES Samuel L.

(Written for the Associated Press aboard the trans-Pacific flying boat as it approached Manila on the last leg of its history-making airmail flight from San Francisco Bay.) ABOARD CHINA CLIPPER (via Pan-American Airways Communica- tions) November 29.—We have been flying toward the landfall soon to come above the horizon for nearly five years now—ever since the historic American Clipper, this country’s first four-engined flying boat, crossed 600 miles of the open Caribbean Sea and Pan-American engineers accepted the problem of transocean transport fiy- ing. ‘This same course we are flying today all of us have flown hundreds of times before—in class rooms, on training flights, in navigation studies. Now the actuality is not so different. The tech- nical equations are still the same. Engines, so many r.pm.; fuel flow such; temperature such; indicated air- speed so much; flight level so many hours, such, then change. Miles Fade Rapidly. We are doing that very thing now. The only difference is that the miles are now actually slipping behind us— nearly 3 every minute. Every detail of this flight was mapped out beforehand by engineers and their almost incredible mathe- matics. We consider little personal credit should be given for this flight, which is really a tribute to the Ameri- can aviation industry and American | aeronautical leadership. ‘These make to- s day's accomplish- ment a routine - transportation operation. Maintaining minimum cruis- ing speed, we will reach Manila in 60 hours flying time, within a ew minutes of our schedule. As we peep ahead toward the dark shaft of the horizon, land breaks into view. We can identify it as Pandan Point on Catanduanes Island, first of the Philippines. Engines Throb Steadily. The engines never sounded more confident than they do now, althougnh they have turned millions of revolu- tions since we left the other side of the globe. They carry us steadily onward, and we catch sight of the long finger of Luzon Peninsula over Great Lamon Bay. Suddenly the air is filled with planes and the bay below jammed with boats of all descriptions. Every one on watch! We will have to circle the bay for channel clear- ance. In a few minutes now the first trans-Pacific transport flight will be completed and the first United States airmail to the Philippines will be ashore on schedule. Capt.

THE EVEN TRADE BODY ASKS 10 GUARD PUBLIC |Injury Seen in Practice Which Is Found Not to Harm Competitors. By the Associated Press. ‘The Federal Trade Commission wants broader powers to protect the consumer from unfair industrial and commercial practices. In its annual report to Congress the commission, which has sought hereto- fore to eliminate unfair practices among competitors in an industry, said practice which is unfair or deceptive to the public and is not necessarily unfair to a competitor. “There are times when such a prac- tice is so universal in an industry that the public is primarily injured rather than individual competitors. In such cases, it is very difficult, if not impos- sible, to show injury tc competitors, can always rely. curate movement. it now seeks ‘“clear jurisdiction over a | but the injury to the public is mani- fest.” The commission said that for exam- ple all members of an industry might represent that an article would do cer- tain things which, in fact, it would not do. Competitors in such a case would not be harmed but the public would. Officials said that if Congress grants the new powers, the commission would be given a major weapoa which might exceed some powers of the old N. R. A. The proposed new law would read: “Unfair methods of competition in commerce and unfair or deceptive acts and practices in commerce are hereby declared unlawful.” The words *“and unfair or deceptive acts and prac- tices in commerce” would be added to the existing statute. The commission also recommended that it be given additional powers to prevent price discrimination by getting a clearer view of the extent to which volume buyers of goods may be fa- vored with special discounts. This, the commission said, might involve a requirement that industry report to the commission when it granted dis- counts not generally known in the trade. Recommendation Repealed.

At present the commission has power to prevent the acquisition of stock control, but not actual physi- cal properties. “If the section is to accomplish the general purpose of preventing mo- nepoly,” the commission said, “it should be amended to prohibit acqui- sition of assets, not only indirectly through use of stock unlawfully ac- quired, but also direct acqusition of assets independently of stock acquisi- tion.” Congress has declined to act on this recommendation, The Securities Com- mission has & &imilar power under the utllity act as applied to holding companies. e NAZIS SEIZE PROPERTY League of National German Jews Is Dissolved.
