CANCELLING OF AIRMAIL IS DEFENDED (Continued From Page One) 10 army fltera and virtual destruction of the airplane industry by Senator RobiiiBon (R., Ind.) In his reply, the Democratic Robin son said that charge was not Justi fied. "In the view of th president, when It became apparent that the con tracts for carriage of the airmail were fraudulently entered Into It oe- came his duty to cancel them," Rob inson said. Addition of two new, airmail routes to those operated before the general contract cancellation is contemplat ed by the post office department. Army flying of the airmail, sus pended toy President Roosevelt, has not yet been resumed. Harlleeao Branch, second assistant postmaster general, told the house post office committee today that lines from Chicago to Spokane and from Billings to El Paso were plan ned under the $12,000,000 appropria tion asked for the fiscal year start ing July 1. Practically all the old routes would be maintained, he said. "I am quite sure," he said, "that at least 95 per cent of the routes In operation on February 10 would be included In the air map we make up." Secretary Dern today named a spe cial committee, of aeronautical au thorities, Including Orvllle Wright, Charles A. Lindbergh and Clarence Chamberlln, to Investigate the army carrying of the air mall. The commission will be authorized to call all witnesses and take any testimony It may deem necessary. The new mall schedule, to be flown after the war department "released" army fliers from a stay-on-the- ground order, Is as follows: Boston to New York; New York to San Francisco via Chicago and Salt Lake City; New York to Jacksonville; Washington to Atlanta; Chicago to Dallas via Kansas City and St. Louis; Salt Lake City to Seattle; Salt Lake to San Diego via Los Angeles; Chey enne to Denver; and Chicago to St. Paul. Other routes may be added later.

WHEELER SILVER BILL 'COMPROMISE' WASHINGTON. March 13 (P) Sen ator Wheeler (D-Mont.) Monday in troduced what he termed a "com promise" bill to authorlzo government purchase of 60.000.000 ounces of silver a month until the white metal reached the ratio of 10 to 1 with gold. Explaining he greatly preferred his original bill for free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, Wheeler said In a statement he was not un mindful of the prejudice existing "In the minds of many who look upon bimetal ism as synonymous with Bry aulsm and who contend that he would be flooded with silver." "In order to test the sincerity of those who have used this as an argu ment against the rehabilitation of silver." he said, "I am offering this bill In the nature of a compromise with the hope that ultimately con gress will see the light and favor my bill for the free and unlimited coin age of silver." The new bill would authorize pur chases up to 1,000,000,000 ounces at prices to be determined by tho secre tary of tho treasury, but purchases would be suspended Immediately the 16 to 1 ratio was reached. Silver certificates with full legal tender status would be issued against the bullion purchased.
