Monroe Johnson to be a member of the Interstate Commerce Commis- slon. A native of South Carolina and a civil engineer by profession, Col.

In that post he has had jurisdiction over the Bureau of Standards, the Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Bu- reau of Marine Inspection and Navi- gation and the Inland Waterways | Corp. On the I. C.

While there may be no immediate connection, departure of Col. John- son from the Commerce Depart- ment will leave vacant an assistant secretaryship that might be filled by an appointee favored by the air transport industry. Such a de- velopment, in turn, might serve to temper some of the bitter opposition currently being directed at the Pres- ident’s proposal to move the Civil risdiction of the Commerce De- partment.

Johnson's Appointment Hailed by Gov. Dixon MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 2 (P). —Gov. Dixon of Alabama, chairman of the Commodities Freight Rate Committee of the Southern Gover- nors' Conference, said J. Monroe Johnson of South Carolina, nom- inated today to be a member of the L C. C, “is a man the South can rely absolutely for fair treat- ment.” “I am delighted,” the executive said, “at the nomination of a man who happens to be one of my old | and very close friends. He is a man | of outstanding ability.” U. S. Chamber (Continued From First Page.) Congress should reaffirm | its determination to keep the United | States out of war unless our Nntlonl Another resolution recommended | a criminal offense to advocate violent overthrow of established gov- | ernment or to advocate physical in- | Jury to Federal officers on account It was recommended that natu- ralization should be denied to per- sons advocating the overthrow of the Government, and that admission to aliens should be refused if their countries would not agree to take them back whenever deported. Easy-Money Policy Hit. “Prolongation of the easy-money policy which has been imposed upon | the country for 11 years is operating | | to weaken the economic structure at resolution declared, holding that the Farm Credit Administration should be separated from the Department of Agriculture and returned to its former independent status. It was urged that Congress should of capital and savings into invest- ! industries. 1 Positive steps were recommended to place fiscal affairs on an orderly basis, with expenditures reduced to balance the budget and no increased debt limit. It was suggested that the President be permitted to dis- approve individual items in appro- | priation bills. | Another resolution declared that present rates of estate and inherit- ance taxes “are damaging socially and economically,” holding that the Federal Government should take the lead in reduction of tax rates, both | national and State. Other Resolutions. Other resolutions in summary: Labor relations. Practical oper- ations of the National Labor Re- lations Act “have amply demon- strated that the act, in its present form, is a serious deterrent to re- covery.” Great economic loss and waste have resulted and recovery has been impeded. Congress should pass amendments to the act at this session and there should be written into it “mutuality of obligations and mutuality of responsibility.” Wage-Hour Act. Its humani- tarian aspect * * * belongs to the States. The States are better fitted to deal with maximum hours of work and minimum wages. “Public interest will best be served by re- peal of this law.” Relief. “Like other public ouf- lays, it should be subjected to care- ful scrutiny to the end that the cost of Government be kept within amounts supportable by reasonable charges on taxpayers.” It should not be conducted with a view to be- coming a permanent Federal func- tion. Foreign trade. The Department of State should continue to “take prompt diplomatic action against discriminations and interference prejudicial to our rights.” Facili- ties for combating discrimination and removing obstacles should be maintained. Would Limit Ship Construction. Merchant Marine. The Maritime Commission “Should work most closely with private operators and limit construction to vessels which they can employ,” in its current building program. Restrictions upon sale or transfer of ships to foreign registry should be removed for pri- vately-owned vessels which have re- ceived no Government aid. Revision of the Labor Relations Act was par- ticularly urged in the maritime field to “prevent transportation stop- pages resulting from violation of maritime labor agreements. Transportation. The Transporta- tion Act of 1940, which would place waterways under control of the In- terstate Commerce Commission, “represents another step in the ac- complishment of a constructive pro- gram of transportation legislation.” Highways. State Highway Depart- | highway construction. The cost of highway facilities provided especially for military purposes, but also serv- ng general traffic, should be appor- tioned between the Federal Govern- ment, State or local governments in proportion to benefits. Aviation. The chamber declared ‘ that the Civil Aeronautics Authority, | which President Roosevelt, in his re- | organization order No. 4, would place | under control of the Department of Commerce, “should always be vested in an independent commission, in | accordance with the established pol- | icy with respect to regulation and | promotion of other forms of inter- state and foreign transportation.” During the short life of the C. A. A. “there has been notable improve- | ment in service, stability, safety and public confidence in air transport.” | Would Stop U. 8. Competition. | Government competition. “The Government should refrain from en- tering any field of business which can successfully be conducted by private enterprise. Tax-free, rent- free and cost-free competition with the lawful enterprises of private citi- zens is destructive and should be ended.” Administrative law. The chamber favored passage of the Logan-Wal- ter bill which “would provide means for appropriate tests of the exercise | of legislative function” of Federal | agencies which “now unite in them- ! selves the legislative function of making law, the executive function | of prosecuting violations of law and the judicial function of passing judgment upon their prosecutions.” The resolution declared, “This is an intolerable union of functions.” Trade associations. The chamber | favored growth of trade associa- tions. Agriculture. Curtailment of pro- duction “to meet emergency condi- tions should be initiated only by the voluntary decision of the farm| peoples themselves, and solely on a | temporary basis. Loans by Govern- | ment on crops should be made only | at values substantially below the market range and on a basis that will not interfere with the free movement of grains” or of food! supplies to the open markets. “If any governmental financial aid is given to producers in adjustment of agricultural production, it should be limited to that portion of the e e e e e FALSE TEETH REPAIRED WHILE YOU WAIT BOBT B SCOTT DENTAL TECR 603 14th ot F.

State rights. The principle that rights not specifically granted to the Federal Government are reserved to the States “has been increasingly infringed by Federal encroachment in almost every field” This is a source of ‘“continually increasing and wasteful Federal expenditure.” « Reclamation. It approved projects where the “areas reclaimed can use or dispose of their products in a de- pendable way,” and where costs are low enough that they can be repaid by people directly benefited. - Forestry. “The undertaking by the forest industries to establish a system of commercial forestry on privately owned forest land throughout the Nation should be actively supported by Federal and State governments in affording ade- quate fire prevention equitable tax systems * * * protection against forest diseases and pests, and en- couragement to the development of sustained yield units.” Petroleum. ‘“Centralization in the Federal Government of control over petroleum production would inter- fere with the development of State measures, and with correlation of State action through interstate com- pacts to conserve” this natural re- source. Slowness of some States to co-operate in conserving petroleum “should not be permitted to obscure the accomplishments of the States and their determination to solve the problem through their own ef- forts.” Public Health as Local Function. Public health. “Provision and maintenance of facilities for im- provement of public health are local | functions and should be kept so. Grants in aid encourage extrava- gance and do not provide eficiency and public service.” In no event should the grants be made without the approval of local agencies and the local medical profession after adequate surveys. Housing. “Publicly subsidized housing has created many difficult economic and social problems. Its benefits have not justified its cost. Public subsidies for housing impose public burdens long after needs have passed. Local subsidies that are warranted should be provided for families on the basis of other forms of relief, in order that they may cease when assistance is no longer required.” The most urgent and ediate opportunity to improve housing for the lowest income fami- lies is enforcement of local sanitary and housing legislation in providing adequate repairs and demolishing | houses beyond repair. | Juan T. Trippe, president and | general manager of Pan-American | Airways, told the meeting today that | the United States will hold its lead | with transoceanic service at the con- | clusion of this war. | “America has the engineers and | designers, America has the skilled | mechanics and ground personnel, | America has the trained clipper cap- - ot S TE FOLK-WASHINGTON LINE [ crrickerorvice a2 bstuow Nasio- o370 | NOR orfolk 0ld Point TIDEWATER VIRGINIA tains and their gallant crews and has the capital and the enter- prise. With these priceless advant- ages we cannot fall, “America’s clipper ships, in the days of sail, won this country leader- ship in the trade routes of the world, After 100 years, that leader- ship—in the air—is America’s once again.” Five-Day Service to Antipodes. Mr. Trippe revealed plans for five- day service soon between the United States, New Zealand and Australia, a trip that usually takes three weeks by steamer. “All operating facili- ties have been installed,” he de- clared. - America's younger business and professional men do not “require a blind optimism to have faith and confidence” in the future of the United States, Philip C. Ebeling, Dayton, Ohio, past president of the United States Junior Chamber of Commerce, declared in another ad- dress today. The younger generation feels, he said, there is much on which to base & sound, reasonable faith and con- fidence. “The American system of govern- ment has more active, vigilant de- {fenders than at any time in recent history,” he explained. “We have awakened to the fact that economic opportunity must go hand in hand with political liberty. Thirdly, the American people desire to stay out of war,* Ready Detenders. “The younger men of America are grateful to the business leaders of today for ‘their dynsmic leadership in keeping us out of war. ¢ * ¢ America’s young men will defend this country from any threat of armed invasion, but they do not want to become nameless crosses on some battlefield in Europe. They have a greater ambition than that.” Mr. Ebeling declared that because businessmen were not “alert to the fact that economic opportunity must g0 hand in hand with political liberty,” the Government sponsored old age pensions, unemployment compensation, slum clearance, labor relations, elimination of fraudulent securities practices and minimum wages. “It must not happen again,” he said. As a result, “inevitably the pendu- lum has swung too far to the left. That in the swing much good has been accomplished nc impartial ob- server would deny. Likewise it has brought intolerable increases in WHERE TO DINE. Roast L. I. Ducks First Course yoociables, Rells e Bever: Atr-Conditionea LOTOS LANTERN 733 17th Bt. N.W.
