Cooper Appeals for American Relief for
 Captain Fitzpatrick

Washington. May 6.r-(Special )-Capt. Merion Cooper, formerly of the Kos kiuzko squadron, cabling Senators Cn- derwood and Heflin from Warsaw today, earnestly appealed for the relief of Capt. Emmet Fitzpatrick, held prisoner in sol- tary confinement by the soviet govern ment. Captain Cooper, declaring that he had only recently been imprisoned with Fitzpatrick, described the situation of the Alabamian as perilous in the extreme. He stated that but for the infrequenr arrival of food from the outside world he would be in danger of starvation.
 Cooper added that Captain Fitzpatrick had papers when captured proving that he was bona fide attache of the Reti Cross and not an observer for the Amcri- can army, as his bolshevik captor' charged. It was on the latter charge that Fitzpatrick was convicted and sem tenced to serve 20 years in the peniten' tary.
 Cooper declared that Fitzpatrick had nothing to do with his own escape. ana therefore his solitary confinement on such suspicion was entirely unwarranted.
 The senators laid the cablegrams be- fore Secretary Hughes of the state de- pertinent.

PACKERS WILLING TO
 ACCEPT SUPERVISION
By Associated Press

Washington. May 6.-Meat packing con- cerns in the United States. though op- posed to the Norris Mclaughlin bill for federal regulation of the industry nov before Congress, are willing to accept su- pervision of their industry by the de- partment of agriculture, Thomas E. WH- son. president of the Institute of Amer ican Meat Packers, testified today be- fore q House committee. He suggested modifications and methods of redrafting the bill under consideration. chiefly to designate the secretary of agriculture as the authorized agent of the government ir controlling the industry.
 With these changes. which he said would make bill comparably to that introduced by Chairman Haugen Of the House agriculture committee last season, the packers ''and all of us could get to- gether on a bill" He declared it "a mistake to assume that the packing in- dustry is fighting all types of govern inent supervision Without them, he added. regulation would be opposed to the last. because we might as we'll die fighting as die of slow strangulation. .
 Present economic conditions. MT. Will son said. do not justify severe imposi- tions upon the industry. In long state ment read before the committee prelim- mary to a general discussion of legisla- tive proposals. he said that legislation touching the packers would affect direct ly the host of livestock producers and shippers not directly involved.
