Geneva Studies Plan for In

Great Quantity Comes
In On Private Machines
By STEWART BROWX,
United Press Staff Correspondent.
GENEVA. (UP The League of
Nations la Investigating tho feasibil
ity of establishing International air
plane patrols to combat illicit nar
cotic traffic.
Such a plan was suggested to the
league by the United States govern
ment through Stuart Fuller, chief
of the opium section of the state de
partment and United States delegate
to league opium meetings.
Asked Information.
Acting upon this suggestion, after
its approval by the council, E. E.
Ekastrand, director of the league's
opium section, has addressed a re
quest for information and observa
tions on this subject to the various
governments.
Fuller revealed that the United
States attaches great Importance to
the possibilities of smuggling narcot
ics by air. As a result, the commit
tee showed concern at the increasing
use that Is being made of airplanes
In traffic.
. The United States, Fuller said. Is
convinced that considerable quanti
ties of narcotics are being smuggled
by air from Canada Into tho United
States.
Private Planes.
The traffic, he said, principally la
conducted by private machines.
These airplanes clear from regular
Canadian airports with a legitimate
cargo and start on the regular route
for the United States. When out of
sight they land some place where
contraband cargo la ready. The
planes then proceed across the bor
der to a place agreed upon for de
livery of the contraband and subse
quently return to Canada, empty via
the regular route.
The only way to combat this type
of smuggling, he said, was by means
of airplane patrols. The United
he Informed the committee, already
has established such patrols in Tex
as, San Diego, Seattle, Buffalo, and
Miami. In. the first year (1932) the
patrols succeeded In seizing thirty
five airplanes carrying contraband.

Ex-Vice Chairman Says Re

From Half-Information
Fair Play Disregarded
DROUGHT PERILS
WINNIPEG, Man., May 9. (AP)
Unsettled weather conditions on the
prairies, particularly In the southern
portions of Manitoba and Saskatch
ewan, caused soma anxiety today
among wheat farmers who have com
pleted about 76 per cent of their
spring wheat seeding.
High winds and practically no rain
have caused soil drifting and con
tinued lack of moisture will necessi
tate reseedlng tn some localities,
it was said.
Seeding operations In northern
Manitoba have been retarded by
cold, frosty nights.
MINNEAPOLIS, May 9 (AP) John
P. Sinclair of Minneapolis, former
vice-chairman of the national re
covery review board, asserts the group
has been unfair In Its operations.
In a statement last night he said
that a majority report of the board
to President Roosevelt was written
from "sloppy, one-sided half Informa
tion," and that it showed "utter dis
regard for fair play or the basic
facts" on monopolistic practices under
the NRA.
Differed With Barrow.
Sinclair sent his resignation to
President Roosevelt April 38. At the
seme time he submitted a minority
report of the board, which brought
out his differences with Clarence Dar
row, noted Chicago criminal lawyer,
who Is chairman of the body.
"Never In my 25 years of experience
In researches and investigations," he
continued, "have I witnessed such
utter disregard for fair play or the
basic facts as the national recovery
review board under Clarence Da r row
has shown, even in Its open hearings,
Such an attitude at a time like this
la nothing short of tragedy."
He said he opposed ths "kind of
sloppy, one-sided, half-Information
that is the foundation upon whlon
the D arrow -Russell (Charles Edward
Russell) majority report has been
written." He said that "careful anaiy.
tical research" had been ignored.
Denies Johnson Influence.
Sinclair denied published reports
that his friendship for General Hugh
3. Johnson bad caused him to oppose
Darrow.
In his minority report, Sinclair said
there are dangers that big business
might eliminate smaller firms. He
urged a small board of three members,
outside and independent of the NRA,
to exist throughout the life of the
recovery administration.
This board, he proposed, would nan
die complaints based on laws of the
land.

RETURN OF PETE

When Pete Beloaetro tangles with
Paul Murdock In the main event of
next Thursday night's mat card at
the Armory, fans will be handed one
of the meatiest dishes or wrestling
which has been served yet this season.
The belligerent Belcaatro, fresh from
a honeymoon-barnstorm tng tour of
old Mexico, where he added several
new scalps to his rapidly mounting
list. Is always a sure-fire attraction
to Promoter Mack Llllard's weekly
menu of matches, and Thursday's en
gagement will be no exception. It
will be Belcastro's first appearance
here In some time, and brings to the
front both a bevy of supporters and
ill-admirers, who nevertheless will
turn out en masse to see him pit his
rough-and-tumble tactics against the
more easy-going but crunching mat
work of the beefy Murdock.
Navajo Indian Chtaf Little Wolf of
Nevada will battle Bunny Martin, who
stayed with Murdock last Thursday
In a draw, in the semi-final, and Pro
moter LI Hard la looking around for a
man he can put In the ring with
Swede Anderson, local fire boy, to wind
up the evening's performance.
Murdock, who halls from Oklahoma,
won admirers galore when he battled
Billy Edwards recentry, and has
galaxy of fans who would like to see
him smear the big Belcaatro on the
canvas. Opinion is about evenly di
vided as to whether or not he can
do It. If he uses his customary clean
technique, the scramble will be an
exact contrast, as compared with the
burly Belcastro's rough treatment.
Martin, who has plenty of speed to
match the wily Little Wolf, also won
a good host of fans with his work
last Thursday, and the semi-final
should be a big drawing card In
Itself. Swede Anderson has tempor
arily balked Promoter Llllard In re
gard to finding a suitable opponent,
but will dish out his usual ahow of
hard wrestling to whomever gets In
the ring with him.
the Riverside Baptist church (The
Rockefeller Church") told a seminar
on war last night.
Rather than sanction another
war, directly or Indirectly, I'll see you
In prison first," the minister said
after 35 of the 36 persons at another
seminar had voted to refuse to serve
Jn the event of luture armed con
flict.
Dr. Fosdlck reproached himself for
having counselled and exhorted sol
diers before they went "over the top
on their murderous and suicidal
tasks" In France.
For what he had done as a chap-
lalnrance, he said, he had "an ac
count to settle wlth the unknown
soldier." He made his renunciation
of war, he stated, in "penitent repar
ation" to the unknown dead of the
world war.
Men who write martial music and
poetry glorifying war do so, he
thought, because they never have
seen war or know Its horrors.
"General Sherman came nearer the
truth than these war glorlfters when
he said 'War is hell. " the minister
added.
