AIRLINES SUBMIT CUT-THROAT'BIDS, Pennsylvania-Central, De- spite Error, Due to Get Capital-Buffalo Run. Despite an “obvious” error in its bid, | the offer of Pennsylvania-Central Air- lines to fly airmail between Washing- ton and Buffalo, N. Y., ‘en the first leg of a “capital-to-capital” route belween’ the United States and Canada prob- | ably will be accepted, it was indicated today at the Post Office Department. | The airline set forth its bid price as | *eight one-hundred-thousandths of 1 eent” per mile in writing, but where the amount was set down in numerais | it appeared as “0.0000008" cent, or eight ten-millionths of a cent. { Informally. in advance of a legal| ruling by Solicitor Karl Crowley, postal | officials said that since the amount | was clearly written out in full the mis- placed decimal obviously was an eror and the airline probably would be given AN opportunity to amend the bid to eorrect the error or the written amount would be accepted as the amount in- tended. In any case the bid was lower than the 1-mill-per-mile bid of Trans- | continental & Western Air, Inc., for | the 337-mile route. President’s Son Testifies ||, msecome Cut-Threat Competition. The competition for the Washing- | ton-Buffalo route and three others for which bids were opened yesterday clearly was of “cut-throat” character, it was said in aviation circles. The record low bids of Pennsylvania- | Central and T. W. A. would bring the airlines an income of only a few cents 8 month for a service which will cost them many thousands of dollars. The bids compare with what are | described as offers Based upon an actual cost basis of around 30 cents a | THE EVENING self $35,153 in 1036, and Ruppert $102,- 470 in 1935 and 1936. As Rogge completed his presentation, general counsel, placed in the records a list of some 400 tax attorneys now practicing be- fore the Treasury Department who formerly served in the department. Placed in the record, also, were re- quested statistics dealing with the tax deficiencies determined, those adjust- ed, cases pending in various stages of settlement. Although today's hearing revolved around “big” names and bigger sums of money, the practices dealt with had been cited in previous sessions and created less stir among the spectators than the brie! appearance of James Roosevelt, ‘T would simply like to say,” Roose- velt said, “although I understand that Darbey since has denied having any evidence, as alleged, that neither now nor at any time have I had any con- nection with any holdmg company in any foreign country.” As Roosevelt completed this brief Statement, Representative Treadway, Republican, of Massachusetts asked about his legal and business tesidence. line, Mass. Roosevelt admitted being & member of the Roosevelt & Sargent, Inc., in Boston.

At the end of that time they are eligible to apply to the Interstate Commerce | Commission for a readjustment of | rates based upon actual cost of service. | But for the fact the law prevents the Government from accepting free service, 1t was said. offers might have | been received to carry the mail free | of charge in return for the right of fiying the route under Federal sanc- tion.
