OUTLINING AVIATION POLICY
 OF HARDING ADMINISTRATION

Washington, March S1.-Views which ma ybecome the basis of the Harding ad- ministration's aviation policy, were ex- changed at the war department tonight when Secretaries weeks, Hays and Hoov- CT, and Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt met to liscuss the aerial activi- ties and needs of their departments.
 As a result of the conference it was decided that in the interest of economy standardization of certain types of ma- chimes could be used by the war, com merce and postoffice departments, and that unit buying could be inaugurated without injury to the various services. At present each department does it's owr buying and experimental work inde- pendently. It was also concluded that standardized plant suitable to the needs of the postal air service and com mercial work could be developed along lines that would permit its use as an afmy bombing plane.
 The question of unifcation of r-.. gov ernment aerial activities under one bu- reau or separate department was Ges- cussed, but no decision was reached. The work was laid, howevld,f for the discussion of this plan which is expected to occuy the attention of the cabinet lat.
 CT.
 Secretary Hoover is understood to have presented to the conference the need oi national aviation laws and regulations | and 1t Is regarded as probable that a bill | incorporati ting the ideas advanced will be presented when congress convenes ir special session His department is es. l pecially interested in the subject becaus, 1 of the growing commercial use of air planes.

 COMMANDER OF V. OF r. ".

Hartford, Conn, March SI.-Goart- martial of Herpert F.

 The fourth allegation Is that Com mander McCuen tried to besmirch thu ! good name. of rival organization, Inc ] American Lesion, and that he insinu ated that a clergyman had received money from the state relief funds tC l which he was not entitled.

HONEST VIEWS" BY KRAMER
 ON NATIONAL PROHIBITION

Washington. March 31.-Difficulties in enforcing national prohibition include hostile public sentiment lack of coop eration by the states, bootIegging on the borders and issuance of too many deai- CTS permits, according to John F.. Kranl- CT, federal prohibition commissioner. ..
 What he termed as his honest views" on prohibition were given by MT. Kramer in a letter to Senator Capper, of Kan sas, and made public today by the latter. Commenting on charges that liquor was being openly sold by 393 New York sa- looms, MT. Kramer detailed the z. prob lems of the dry officers and also sug- gested remedies.
 Tn view of all these conditions said circumstances" said MT. Kramer, T be- lieve we have made remarkable pro- gress during the year or more in which the national prohibition act has heen in existence, we still have mucn work to do and will have for years To cone. You can't turn the current of history overnight. Anything that has fastened sonal history of our country as has the liquor traffic, cannot be removed in a day or a year."
 MT. Kramer said that the volstead law itself was sound. That he was not ad- vocating any radical revision of the law by congress, and that enforcement prob lems largely were administrative. Too many permits for medical prepar- ations, containing alcohol were issued originally, Mi Kramer said. These have been reduced and standards of medi- catlng alcoholic preparations raised. Per- mlts for manufacturing industrial alco- nol also are being curtaiIsd land refused to those selling illegitimately.
 summing up, MT. Kramer said he be- lieved failures of enforcement during the past year were due to the admins l tration of the law more than they were to the law itself"
 Among recommendations made by the l prohibition director tc tighten up en- | forcement were:
 l Removal of whiskey to fe/ large and
 Well guarded warehouses 1; increase ot i Prohiniion agents on the Canadian and
 Mexican borders and enactment of pro.
 hloltion codes by all the states. i The bulk of the people, Mr Kramer l e1planed, must favor enforcement he

FAyoRs CONSOLIDATION ......
 OF COUNTRIES RAILROADS

New York. March 31.-Consolidstion of the country's railroads into a iirnite6 number of larger systems was sdvocat- ed by Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and Edgar E. Clark chairman of the interstate com merce commission, at a dinner of the Railway Business Association here to- night.
 s The work of the railroad war board be- fore the railroads were taken over by the government showed the success of that plan under private ownership MT. Will lard declared.
 The new law contemplates. consolida- ton of the roads into a limited number of larger systems. under. which every reasonable degree of cometition of ser vice will be. pre served said Mir. Clark. 'I wish 1t were possible to hope for consummation of that purpose at an early date"
 Both speakers agreed that criticism o1 the transportation act has become too general and too little understanding or cooperation with the acts aims has been offered. --s ----
 MT. Willard expressed assurance in the success of private ownership under the act. and declared the relationship between the federal commission and the railroads under the act is most encouraging.
 Referring to wages of railroad men, he said:.
 T am inclined 10 htink that under the uresent low wages of railway workers as a whole may be somewhat higher in the future than would be the case were there no such law. but even..s so. if the public is thereby insured freedom from inter- ruptions of service, the immunity go pur- chased will be well worth the price,

 There were two bills one for a censor ship ard the other which would require should have been endorsed by the cen soring board of Pennsylvania, Maryland or Massachusetts before shown in this state.
 George l.. Fox of New Haven advocat- ed both but his argument was mainly on the desirability of the latter bill H. suggested that the bill would be stronger if it required all these state boards en- dorsement, but he had left the word "or' in the bill instead of "and." MT. Foz claimed that censorship of films wa: needed that while many people sa, they see nothing objectionable, 1t was : fact that in some theatres films ar, shown that are suggestive in character ana immoral theme By accepting the verdict of the censoring boards mentioned the task. would be take nout of hands 0 local authorities and away from local in nuencecs.
