(AP) A brief walkout of brokera halted action today in the wheat pit of the Chi cago board of trade for the first time since the world war. It was a gesture of dissatisfaction over scarcity of business. Here for Convention Dr. Walter L. Van Nuys of Portland arrived In Med ford on the Oregonlan this morning to address the Sunday achool conven tion which opens here this afternoon at the Presbyterian church. Dr. Van Nuys Is to give the main address at the gathering. master general to determine whether bidders were responsible Is amended so as to grant an appeal to the Inter state commerce commission, which would have final authority. Four transcontinental routes would be provided Instead of tnree as ior merly carried the mail. Companies having claims sgalnst the government from cancellation of their contracts by Postmaster Oeneral Farley In February would pe per- mltted to seek redress In the court of claims, a year being allowed for that purpose. The revised bill still carries the controversial clause requiring that private mail planes carry army co pilots. This has been attacked by private companlea on the ground that no opportunity would be afforded for training their pilots, and that service to passengers would suffer. Sets 6-Cent Postage. Air mall postage, which In the first bill was fixed at 6 cents Instead of the present 8 cents per ounce would be established at 6 cents. , Senator Hastings (r!, Del.) told the senate the administration cancelled the air mail contracts "to add to the prestige of the new deal," but the neonle of the country were not con vinced there was any fraud Involved The new chairman of the Bepubll- can senatorial campaign committee, assailing the whole administration program In replying to a speech last Tuesday by Postmaster General Far ley at a Delaware Democratic rally asserted "twelvt major" piatiorm promises had not been kept. Cancellation Flayed. Turning to the air mall contro versy. Hastings shouted: "You can't Justify cancellation of those contracts. Mr. Farley tried to make the people believe the govern ment lost great auma of money In the carrying of the air mall, while at the same time his assistants were appearing before ' committees urging a million dollara be added to the ap propriations." Hastings referred to the 1930 meet ing of private operators with Post master General Brown, at which the administration alleges they connived to "parcel out" the contracts, and said a similar meeting was held In the Farley regime to "distribute the appropriations made for that particu lar service." A reading of Farley's testimony be fore the Black investigating com mittee, he said, showed he "didn't know enough about his own Job to determine what his power was."
