ARLINES DENAND 1. EGULATN Rulnous Competition Cited In Support of Industry’s Complaints. By the Associated Press NEW YORK, July 24—The air transport business is clamoring to be regulated. It wants the Government to step in and specify tariffs, assign routes and determine where healthful com- petition ends and ruinous competi- tion begins. It wants someone besides the post office to take over control of that perennial porcupine, the air mail, and right there the air transport busineas comes to cross-purposes with Wash- ington. Air transport and the Post Office | Department are ready for a show- | down on Capitol Hill on the question of regulation. The post office insists everything is going along nicely now. | ‘The air carriers differ. Intended by its author, Senator Mc- Oarran of Nevada, to ease the birth pains of the air line business, a bill | designed to vest the Interstate Com- | merce Commission with authority over | Toutes. rates and revenues of the com- | mercial carriers is being pushed for | enactment, if possible, during this ses- sion of Congress. Would Give P. O. Power. In counter-attack, a bill intended to give the Post Office Department an | even greater measure of authority over | the air lines is awaiting action in the | House, That the McCarran bill, which would relieve the Post Office Depart- ment of authority over airmail routes and compensation for the carriers, probably would cause deficits greater than those now incurred in airmail cartage is the contention of the Post Office Department. In turn, the Nevada Senator and the airlines argue that the I. C. C. would bring order out of a chaotic con- dition on continental air lanes Air transport operators list lack of THE STORY THUS FAR. After two years in London Carol Clayton returns to the Brookdale horse-breeding farm in Saratoga that has been the home of the Claytons for three generations. With her, is her flance, young and wealthy Hartley Madison. On her first day back, her father, Jim Clayton, dies. Duke Bradley, a bookmaker, and Jim's friend, holds a mortgage on Brookdale in liew of her father’s $76.000 debt to him. Carol, resenting Duke since their first meeting, asks him to wait until she is married so she can pay him. She is infuriated when he accuses her of marrying jor money and decides to post- pone her wedding until she can pay him herself. That very eve- ning she brings in Moon Ray, her grandfather’s last colt, to be auc- tioned off. She wants the money as a stake so that she can run it up to the required $76,000. CHAPTER VL Duke was inwardly cursing himself for trying to dissuade Carol. He should have known that every word he said had increased her determina- | tion. If she wouldn't listen to Grand- father Clayton, whom she loved, why should she be influenced by him? His thoughts were not pleasant.

The air carrier managements believe that, even after more than 10 years of passenger transport operations, they have only scratched the surface of po- tential patronage. They want route franchises—not obtainable under pres- ent laws—and higher returns for carry- ing the mails, pending such time as passenger traffic multiplies considera- bly over the million-plus tickets now sold each year. McCarran Measure. Essentially, the McCarran measure would give the I. C. C. the same con- trol over the airlines that it exercises over the railroads. The Department of Commerce would continue to impose safety regulations. Keen, sometimes bitter, competition has characterized the airlines’ bid for | business, including cartage of the mails, since the abrupt cancellation and subsequent revision of the airmail eontracts in 1934. But in spite of the sharp competi- | tlon the air transport industry s united in support of the McCarran! measure. It believes the I. C. C. would | increase rates for mail cartage, at one time the biggest source of the airlines’ sevenue and still s sizable item on their balance sheets.

American steel workers received an average of $10 more in their weekl pay envelopes in April than the aver- 8ge for workers in all inanufacturing industries, the American Iron and Steel Institute reported today. The institute based its conclusion on pay roll figures compiled by the Depart- ment of Labor The weekly pay envelopes received by steel workers during the month contained an average of $36.20, nearly 40 per cent more than the average of $26.30 for all industrial wage earners, the institute found. The steel aver- age was exceeded by the earnings of | only one other manufacturing indus- try, the printing of newspapers and periodicals.

SATURDAY, ELDER IDENTIFIED IN ASSAULT TRIAL Ex-School Dean Named ‘Positively’ as Man Who Threatened Cashier. By the Associnted Press GREENFIELD, Mass, July 24— County Superior Court today gave at- torneys for Thomas E. Elder, once dean of Mount Hermon School, an opportunity to ready their defense S. Allen Norton with a gun. The 61-year old educator went on trial Thursday on an indictment charging him with assault with intent to murder Norton, retired cashier of the Northfield School, at the latter's Greenfield home May 25 His dark suit rumpled and creased by the long siege in the hot and crowded court room and his face un- smiling, Elder was whisked from the court house last night in a curtained car for an undisclosed destination. Behind him was the testimony of Norton that it was “Thomas E. Elder” who “pointed a gun at me” on the Spring night three months ago. Seeking to prove there were “feel- ings” between the two men long be- fore the alleged assault, Defense At- torney Charles Fairhurst drew from | Norton a statement that he had criticized “Elder's handling of school affairs.” “Once,” the rtuddy faced cashier testified, “I reported him (Elder)” to the school headmaster “for kissing his stenographer.” Calmly relating the story of what | defense counsel called “peeking and spying,” Norton said he bored a hole through the partition dividing his office and Elder's three years ago and saw the dean, “kiss his stenographer, | and him and his stenographer in each | other’s embrace.” Six other witnesses testified yester- day, but Norton was the only one to | name Elder “positively” as the man | who threatened him as he was put- | ting his car in the garage behind his | home.

CONNITEE OTES NEW HOLSIG AL Senate May Consider Meas- ure Sponsored by Wagner at This Session. B the Associated Press. A revised housing bill won the ape proval of the Senate Labor Committes yesterday. It thus may be considered by the Senate at this session The measure is sponsored by Sen= ator Wagner, Democrat, of New York and President Roosevelt has desig- nated it as one of several which he would like to have Congress pass. Altered at the request of the Treas= ury, it would create a national hous- ing authority to make loans and grants to state and local housing authorities. The funds would be used for con= struction of low-rent housing and the eradication of slums. Bonds totaling $700.000.000 ecould be issued during the next three years and there would be an appropriation of $26.000.000 for the first year Local housing authorities could ob- tain subsidies under either of two plans. They might obtain a Federal loan, repayable in 60 years, and an annual operating subsidy sufficient to | reduce rentals by 45 per cent. Or, they would be eligible for a | capital grant of 25 per cent at the outset, with an additional 15 per cent to be donated by the Federal Gove ernment in the form of relief labor, The balance would be lent by the Government. Under the second plan, the local community would be required to put up an additional 20 per cent of the capital, or development, cost. The original bill, before it was re- vised, provided only for the loan and subsidy plan. It made no provision for the capital granta Japanese Mink $858 he store worthy of the nation’s Capital presents FINE FURS worthy of the Capital’s smart women Let the label be your guide to reliable furs priced at a saving in our Advance Selling.
