Gen. William Mitchell today as es
sential If aviation development "is
to be taken out of the hands of
the money lenders."
"If the government is going to

He testified before the house post

subsidies to private lines.
Mitchell, chief of the A.E.P. air

a question in my mind whether
the airmail shouldn't be carried by

He blamed "boneheadedness" by

today announced details of the pro

for dairy farmers.
The chief features Include: re
duction by individual farmers of
15 per cent of their milk and but
tcrfat production from their 1W2
1933 total and appropriation of W,
000,000 for relief distribution of sur
plus milk to underfed children in
cities.
Other provisions were transfer of
healthy cows from surplus areas to
farm families In deficit areas, and
use of a $5,000,000 fund for the
eradication of tubercular and bang
diseased cattle.
The program was estimated to
cost between $165,000,000 and $300,
000.000 depending on adoption of
pending legislation in congress.
A processing tax starting at one
cent per pound on butter fat and
advancing to five cents per pound
was proposed to finance the pro
gram.
Farmers would be paid benefit
payments at the rate of about 40
cents for each pound of butter fat
which they reduced below their
1032-33 production. This is equiv
alent to about $1.50 per hundred
pounds of fluid milk.

MOVIES TO BAN
DILLJNGER FILM
New York, March 21 WW The
action of Will Hays, president of
the Motion Picture Producers and
Distributors of America, banning
any film production based on the
life of John Dillineer. notorious In
diana outlaw, may make a new-
era In gang pictures.
It was called today "the most
definite action ever taken against
pictures delineating criminal ex
ploits" by J. J. McCarthy, chairman
of the advertising advisory council
of the Hays organization.
"It undoubtedly will tend to de
crease the production of criminal
pictures," McCarthy said.
Hays' action, announced yester
day, not only prohibited the mak
ing of a DUllnger picture by com
panies In his organization, but also
banned their distribution or ex
hibit of such a film.
"It means," McCarthy said, "that
if some company ' outside this or
ganization makes a Dillingcr film,
they would have no place to show
it."
The Hays organization represents
90 per cent of the industry, McCar
thy said.
The board of directors of the as
sociation supported Hays in his de
cision, made, McCarthy said, after
announcements of a Dillineer film
appeared in papers on the west
coast.
The ban was In consideration of
"the best public interests," Hays
said.

Lloyd George said the president

Lions seemed to have abandoned

"There can be no recovery with

By STEPHEN A. STOXE
The fact that the state department does not have in its
files a single conviction report
for revocation of an automobile driver's license is the most
serious angle of the failure
law in this city. The court,
in these articles, Is allowed some
discretion In the matter of
suspension of sentences. "When It

the law says. But no discretion is
allowed the court relative to turn

of state for revocation of license.
Until the 1933 legislative session
the court could not even recom
mend reinstatement of a driver, but
an amendment of that session gives
the court that authority, though
the state department may use its
own Judgment about complying.

LUMBER CODE
HEARING SET
Washington, March 21 (JP The
national recovery administration
has called a public hearing here
March 27 on recent amendments to
the lumber code. The amendments,
49 to 67 inclusive, embody prac
tically all of the code changes ap
proved by the code authority at re
cent meetings.
A statement by the code author
ity said export trade is particularly
affected by amendments 49 and 54,
the former permitting the divisions
and subdivisions to establish cost-
protection prices for export sales
and to revise and modify such
schedules upon 48 hours' notice.
The other amendment would give
the administrative agency three
options for relaxing production
control in otder to encourage cut
ting for export. The first option
provides that no person would be
considered to have exceeded his al
lotment for any period if the excess
did not exceed 50 per cent of his
proven exports. The second would
give any operator, willing to forego
a specified proportion of his regu
lar allotment, an export allotment
twice the size of the domestic re
duction. The third method would
be the destination by administra
tive agencies of certain qualities or
items of lumber and timber products
for export with permission to oper
ators to produce these items In ex

they have actually been exported.

BROWN FLAYED
BY WINKLE
Washington, March 21 iTFi Fur
ther Indication that democrats are
willing to accept the airmail con
tract cancellation as a political Is
sue if it Is presented as such, was
given by Representative Bulwinkle
D., N. C), defending cancellation
as the "only thrng" that could have
been done.
Bulwinkle's speech to the house
followed Postmaster General Far
ley's defense of cancellation last
night at a Delaware political rally,
and denunciation in the senate yes
terday by Robinson D., Ark.), of
the tactics of a firm in which the
Pittsburgh Mellons, republican lead
ers, were interested.
Replying to criticism of the can
cellation, Bulwinkle termed the ad
ministration of former Postmaster
General Walter F. Brown a "putrid
mass of petrifaction" likened only
to the "frauds and collusion' of the
Teapot Dome scandals.
Turning to cancellation of the
contracts without first giving the
air mail companies a hearing, he
argued that "any contract or agree
ment between two or more parlies
always has been and always will be
vitiated by fraud.
He said lie had "calmly and dis
passionately" studied "all of tlie
facts" In the air mail case and to
support his argument that fraud
was evident he reviewed much of
the testimony brought out by the
investigating committee headed by
Senator Black n.. Ala.).

CODE REVISIONS

Borah, Repn., Idaho, today on the

threatening the country.
Borah's remarks were inspired by
findings of the federal trade com
mission which held the steel code

bidden pract ices including the
Pittsburgh plus system of prices.
"If the steel companies are en
gaged in these practices under the
codes there is no doubt in my mind
that many other businesses are do
ing likewise," Borah said, speaking
Irom the floor.
"It seems to me it should be
matter of supreme concern to those
engaged in making a success of the
recovery program to see how these
things can be done away with."
"There Is a restlessness through
out the entire labor world today
and I am convinced that it will
manifest Itself more generally as
time goes along.
"These combines, trusts and
monopolies manage to take away
from labor every advance in wages
that Is gained. Almost everything
utilized In food, in clothing and In
home building is subject to these
monopolistic practices and mono
polistic control."
