 The difference was understood to be due largely to lack of agreement on aviation activities and policies. Repeated statements by General Mitchell urging unified air service since President Harding addressed congress in opposition to such unifi- cation and statements by him before congressional committee regarding the relative worth of capital naval ships and airplanes were said to he among reasons leading to the request for his relief.

buried S1S,000 of the loot, yes terday stood by his original story that he had divided the loot with Bailey on the Friday following the robbery.
 According to reports from Tue son Bailey is standing equally firm on the assertion that, after turning the S40,000 over to Kea- ton on the night of the robbery. he had never seen it again and had never received any part of it.
 Keaton will probably be taken to Tucson this week and held in jail there pending the presenting of evidence against him to the federal grand jury.

NORRIS BILL ID 'BR|NG PACKERS UNDER CONTROL IF U. 5. DEBATED
Discussion Opens With Com parison Of House, Senate
 Measures Proposed
WILSON GIVES VIEWS
Head Of Packers Says They Are Ready To Accept U. s.
 Legislation At Once

WASHlNOfl ON, June S.- hc Sell- ate debate on packer control lesisla- tion begdntoday with a comparison of the senate ana house plans by Chairman Norris of the senate agri- cultural committee.
 That the house bill was much mild CT than the senate bill and would be supported by senators opposing any legislation affecting the meat ,~o1s- try was asserted by Senator MOTHS.
 Packers Express Opinions
 CHICAGO, June 9.-Thomas E. Will son, president of the Institute Of American Meat Packers, today for warded to members of congress a statement regarding the economic sit uatiOn of the meat and livestock in- dustry, in connection with proposed legislation to regulate the packing in dustry.
 This great industry is not in po- sition to stand much longer the stress of the situation that we have gone through in the last IS months" the statement said. Unless there Is change there is going to be a calamity in this country, and a big one"
 Taking up packer legislation, the statement declared that the packers were not opposed to all kinds of legis- lation. but considered the proposed Norris bill unwise, ineXpedient and unnecessary because it did not solve the economic problems of the produc- ing and consuming public or the packer; because it delegated arbitrary powers contrary to American lnstltu- tions: because it set up governmental despotism over private business which would be destructive or individual en- terprise and because it gave the pow CT to limit the kind and number of articles handled by d private business.
 There is state of mind with the public and with the producers that is detrimental to this industry the statement continued. Whether it is based on facts or not, it is prejudice. It may be that the point has been reached where this prejudice can be allayed only by legislation. If that is true. then l personally think that if some sort of legislation can be wcrn- ed out which will relieve the public mind of such prejudice. it would be desirable from the standpoint or all interested in the industry. Such leg islation, however, in my opinion, should be limited to concentrating some supervisory authority in one agency of the government; say, for arguments sake, the department oi agriculture.
 T think that, while the secretary might not have greater power than can be found in one of these exist ing laws now in force. scattered in different departments, the mere fact that such power might be vested in one agency might give him greater power to understand this whole diff ficulty. to bring different branches oi the industry together, and to work out ingthe situation.
