INDICATED BY EDISON

NEW YORK, July 14-Delegates
to the Edison dealers convention were
left guessin gtoday b va cryptic state
ment made by Thomas A. Edison over
his signature when he received the
visitors at his plant.
I'VE now have all the rebellious
elements under control" the statement
said.
The word "all" was capitalized by
Edison himself
There will be many more conven-
lions, but l expect you boys will al
ways remember this one because II
happens to be contemporaneous with
the time when we removed the last
Jinx from the record"
The delegates were eager to ascer-
tain whether Edison meant he had
perfected some new invention, but
their Inquiries were met by smiling
silence.

departure from an American port of
eleven ships which are now at sea

Ten OF the ships are Dutch and one
is Scandinavian. All are laden with

Held in port because they had been
unable to get safety assurance from

SENATE FIGHT BREWS
OVER AIRCRAFT Bill

Prospects Of q fight in the Senate
that body doomed up strong today.
One OF the objections to the bill
IL the provision for drafting young
men for aviation service.
A number OF Senators will protest
against this, on the theory that avia-
ton is hazardous business and that
only volunteers should be taken into
it.
This objection to drafting for avia-
ton work is not the only difficulty
the bill will have. Believers in a
Department OF Aeronautics will urge
that II a huge sum is to be devoted
to aircraft a separate department
should be provided.
