COMMITTEE HEARS

tion Against "Dumping"
by British.

Declaring that the situation regard
ing the aerial defenses of this coun-
try is acute and that the United States
will be Throwing away the key to the
front door" unless action is taken to
thwart British dumping" Of surplus
aircraft. Brig. Gen. William Mitchell.
chief of the Army air service. made
strong plea in behalf of the Tilson
bill before the ways and means COM
mittee yesterday. He urged that i'm
portation of all foreign-made air
planes and material should be prohib
tied for ten years.
give immediate consideration to this
subject, unless America is to aban-
don all idea of maintaining a position
/ in :he air commensurate with that Of
European rivals. especially Great
Britain and France.
TiIson Bill Provisions.
The Tilson bill provides for the as
sessment of a special dumping tax on
, aircraft and engines. equalizing i'm
port price with cost of production in
!: country Of origin for three years from
date.
/ Gen. Mitchell told the committee
/ that at the end of the war all the
foreign countries had on hand large
aircraft stocks and to dispose of these
stocks without injury to their own air
service and the manufacturing facili-
ties underlying the service was
serious military problem.
From information received by the
; state Department there was pre-
sented to the committee the state
ment that the British government had
sold its surplus material. valued at
tl0O 100000. to a British syndicate.
that the British government should
receive one-half Of the profits. The
material includes 10000 airplanes and
10000 engines.

Gen. Mitchell declared it to be his
opinion that if the British could sell
this equipment they would control
the situation to such an extent that

etc. would also have to be brought
IN from England. He denied that
British airplanes were superior to
the American at the close of the war
or now. and made specific contrasts
most of them from Representative
Frear. said that he would go even
FARTHER than the terms of the Tilson
olil-that he would shut out all for
efgn planes for ten years. but that
he would also provide some way for
the economical distribution of Ameri-
can ships as they become obsolete.
What was needed. also. he declared.
was the establishment of bureau of
aviation which would be charged
with the development of civilian
aeronautics. And with this. Mr.. Frear
agreed.
Statement by c. NJ. Keyes.
c. NJ. Keyes. representing the Cur
tiss Aeroplane Corporation, declared
that the invasion of the American
market meant practically the total
destruction of the American aircraft
industry. He refuted the assertions,
made by the Aero Club of America.
that. during the past year or so there
was a demand for several thousand
airplanes in this country which the
manufacturers could not fill.

PRIZES TO BE OFFERED
 FOR ATTRACTIVE GARDENS

A. J. Mcconnell, of the Alaska Pub lie Utilities, is starting a much-need- ed civic improvement project His plan is to encourage the cleaning-up and planting of yards and garden plots, by offering prizes for the neatest and most attractive ones. He offers as one of the prizes a very handsome coffee percolator in loving-cup style. MT McConnel1s proposition, regard ing which will be announced later, deserves the hearty support of every public-spirited Cordovan. Cordova's youth is no reason or excuse for her being a stumpy, scraggy, tin-canny town. The little village of Ocean Falls, on the rugged, forested coast of British Columbia, is a delight to the eye with it's velvety green door yards, neat walks and vine-wreathed cottages which recall old England. We can make Cordova just as at- tractive. Let's begin.

TONSOFLAVA BURY LARGE
 ISLAND AREA

HILO, Island of Hawaii, May 8 (by Associated Press) Millions of tons of lava which have been pouring from the great volcano of Kilauea during the past three months have buried approximately twenty-five square miles of country under a coating aver aging one hundred feet in thickness. The great flows, streaming in every direction from their source in the old rift of 1868, still as moving slowly forward, and at one point are within two miles of the sea and twelve miles from the fountainhead.
 The gIittering floods of crimson lava are coming from the southern flank of Kilauea. What was formerly a quiet expanse of sandy waste, dotted with green oases, now is a smoking tract of ruin and desolation. A few charred fragments mark the sites of former forests buried deep beneath the torrents of molten stone elected by the volcano.
 The scene by night is described as one never to be forgotten. Great crev, asses, small cracks and the living streams pushing forward all glow vivid crimson. Blazing trees, caught in the flows, add their lurid glare to pic. ture whose background is masses of smoke and steam clouds.
 With intense activity within the in her crater of Kilauea, volcano observ CTS say that it appears unlikely that the present eruption will come to an end until late in the summer

QUAKER CITY
 TONNAGE WAR
 ONH HIGH RENT

PHILADELPHIA, May 8 (by Asso- ciated Press).-A campaign for the building of homes is Philadelphia s answer to the question of how to keep rents down to a reasonable basis. The tenant population is in desperate straits, for rents have been going higher and higher and no end seems to be in sight. The scramble for homes in the suburbs is so acute that when one woman moved some of the furniture out of her home the other day, in order to clean the house, tWen- ty-fve persons tried to rent it from her within few hours.
 To stop the profiteering in rents and homes, several organizations are at tempting to unite on a program of house-building, to continue for at least six months, or until the shortage has been relieved. These organizations in- clude associations of tenants, trade unions, representative of the build ing trades and mortgagin accompanies. They have been asked to undertake this work by the department of public welfare.

During his stay here, the Sunday School Roll has grown from 30 to 175; branch Sunday Schools have been established at Chftina, Mccarthy and Kennecott, and the church has been put on a sound financial basis. At the conclu- sion of the program, the crowd en- joyed cake, coffee, and some of Mrs. Curriers' famous ice-cream.

In connection with the church will be held an American ization school for foreigners, who make up about 70 per cent of the pop ulatiOn of the town. MT. Shriver is greatly interested in this branch Of work. While a student at the McCor- mack Theological Seminary at Chi cago several years ago he did work of this kind in the Christopher Social Settlement House. He intends to em- plOy all possible modern helps, such as newspaper advertising, teaching by moving pictures, etc. The energy and perseverance which he has shown dur ing in his stay in Cordova promise we'll for the success of his work in Gle Elum
