By PAUL MALLON
(Copyriuht, 1034, by Paul Mallon)
WASHINGTON, D. 0., Juno 21,
There Is hardly a man on the Inside
at the war department who does not
believe that Major-General
Fou
lols received un
necessarily rough
treatment from
the house mUl
tary committee.
They feel gen
erally that the
case has more
behind It than a
simple effort to
Impose Justice.
For one thing,
Foulols has al
ways acted rath
er Independently
Paul Mallon
with congressmen.
1 m '
He made no effort to play politics
V with them, as most government of
ficials do. He even criticized this
name house committee once because
It did try some logrolling In the se
lection of a certain air field. In fact,
he blocked the committee's efforts.
That circumstance certainly did not
encourage the committee to spare
the rod when it had a chance to flay
him.
More important, however, Is the
political aspect. -
You can never make war depart
ment officials believe that the com
mittee rendered a free non-poltlcal
Judgment. All the Democratic rep
resentatives are up for re-election
this year. The failure of the air
corps to carry the mails will be an
issue that they must answer. The
simplest possible answer will be that
they tried to fire the fellow who
overestimated the army's ability to
carry the mails. That clears them.
The committee Is denying It was
Influenced by such motives. It can
point out that the Republican com
mlttee Joined In the scalping of Fou
lols. which Is true.
But they would have a hard time
convincing the Jury about their mo
tives, aa long aa the results of their
action will be to free themselves po
litically. War Secretary Dern is not f
ttcular friend of Foulols. His
par
final Judgment may be accepted as non
partisan. Privately he Indicated to
frtenda before going over the record
In detail that he thought the com
mittee went much too far.
An impersonal opponent of Foulols
la Chief of Staff MacArthur. He and
Fouloia have been conducting a nat
ural Inside battle between the air
service and the general staff about
the merits of the air service in na
tional defense. Of course, MacAr
thur can say nothing officially about
the matter, but you will find that he
let the word drop to friends not
long ago that If he had been asked
whether the air service could carry
the malls he would have made the
same affirmative response Foulols did.
What really convinces the war de
partment crowd in favor of Foulols
is the fact that the only serious
charge against him is that he failed
to follow the directions of congress
In awarding contracts. That is fun
damentally true, but It was also true
of Foulols' predecessors.
The Brmy air people think they
know how to buy planes. They like,
for instance, to get bombers from the
Martins, pursuit planes from Boeing,
etc., because each manufacturer Is a
specialist In his own particular line.
Under competitive bidding they
might get some bombers from sub
marine manufacturers which would
narfimti tk submarines.
The only Important Issue Involved !
1 whether the air corps omcero la
yered certain manufacturers for less
patriotic reasons. No one believes
they did. The war department group
has the utmost confidence in Fou
lols' honesty.
It there is anything wrong with
him, they say, It Is overenthuslssm
for the army air corps, which is hard
ly an Indictable offense.
The White House felt more harshly
toward Foulols than anyone else, be
aiise he failed to live up to his
promise to cany the malls.
Nevertheless there Is every reason
to. ixpect that the White House will
deal less harshly with Foulols than
thfi bouse committee did.
fhose who know the Inside at the
Interstate commerce commission be
llevfe a general reduction In railroad
passenger fares will be ordered be
fore long. They expect it to be a
rather strong reduction, possibly even
eliminating the Pullman surcharge.
Th fiat assenger rate Is now M

promised also to furnish powder for
the big campaign guns on both sides.
A few hours after the president's
New Haven speeoh, Ogden Mills spoke
In New York, hitting the new deal
with the declaration "a planned
economy Is surrender."
Judging from the comebacks here
today, republicans plan to pose the
question: "How brainy Is that trust?"
"It will be one of the outstanding
topics of the coming campaign," de
clared Senator Dickinson (R-Ia.) "We
are all for the brains when they are
leading us In the right direction, but
against them when they take us the
wrong way."
Friends Keep Mum
Advisors of the president kept their
own counsel. Not receptive to inter
views, Dr. Rexford Guy Tugwell was
standing with Professor Raymond
Moley on the position that there Isn't
any "brain trust" any more.
It. was during the 1032 campaign
that theyjwid. Professor A. A. Jeerle
were principals of the group close to
Mr. Rooseevlt that were facetiously
denominated "brain trusters.' The
term recurred repeatedly In congress,
without any notice from the admin
istration. But the president himself brought
it up at New Haven. "While we have
heard a certain amount of ribald
laughter about the use of brains In
government," he aald, "it seems to be
a good practice. It will be continued.
We are going to call on trained peo
ple." Senator ' McNary, the republican
leader, rejoined today:
"I think a little brains ought to go
along with every administration. I
like a 'brain trust' rather than a
brainless one. There are a lot of fel
lows In the senato brainier than Tug
well." FINED $25, COSTS
Donald L. Kenney entered a plea of
guilty to reckless driving before Jus.

Evidence showed that Kenney,

Oppressors of 'Little Fellow'
and Chiselers In Business
to Meet Swifter Justice
By New Federal Procedure
By J. R. n racket t
(Copyright, 1934. by the Associated
Press)
WASHINGTON. June 21. ff) j The
government, an authoritative south
disclosed today, has forged a new
weapon to strike at monopolistic op
pression of the "little fellow" and
chiseling.
By a far-reaching change in pro
cedure, this source said, the federal
trade commission will become a busi
ness court to mete out swifter decis
ions on charges of unfair practices. "
The new weapon, involving a baxe
change of the relations between the
commission and NRA, is contained in
a technical order Issued by the com
mission. - KmpliAMlze Judicial Phase
Aa this order waa explained today,
the emphasis will be placed on the
commission's Judicial function. Hith
erto its operations have been three
fold, it investigated, made com
pl&lnts, and then sat In Judgment on
Its own complaints.
President RoosevMt, it is said, sug
gested the commission and NRA get
together to iron out apparent con
flicts in procedure. Out of confer
ence between the two, the new plan
arose.
An explanation is contained In a
private memorandum, technical In
character. This does not discus the
implications of the order, bit It waa
said these three point are Important.
May Argue Caao
1. The small business man may ap , .
pear before the commission to argue
his case If a code authority nea Com '

The order In point was Issued 1 ft

which NRA accused of violating dt!
filing provision of the code,
NRA and the companies will argue
before the commission, which may
either proceed against the companies
or dismiss NRA' complaint.
