HARDING NOT GOING
 AWAY FROM DUTIES
Although on Vacation, He DeVotes
 Much Time to Govt. Affairs

Palm Beach. Fla, March 12.--As the houseboat Pioneer, carrying Pres ident and Mrs. Harding and their va- cation companions. steamed slowly southward today, indications increas- ed that the stay of the chief executive in southern Florida would not be all play and no work.
 Although the president has been devoting himself mostly to rest and recreation since he left Washington week ago today definite periods each day have been set aside to attend to official business. Photographic cor respondence has been maintained with the White House and at each important stop such as that made here Saturday and yesterday much official mail has been sent aboard the houseboat.
 On arriving at Miami probably to- morrow the president will be joined two members of his cabinet, Attorney Gen. Daugherty and Secretary Davis. The former although still unable to resume full charge of the affairs of his department owing to weakened condition resulting from his recent ill., ness is understood to have given some attention within the past week to the more urgent matters, including the war frauds inquiries. It is considered probable that Mir Daugherty will have several matters to take up with his chief.
 Limitations have come from the Pioneer as the party has cruised southward, that announcement of the administration merchant marine poli- cy might be made while the president is in Miami. Chairman Lasker of the shipping board is member of the vacation party and announced on ar rival at Ormond last Tuesday that he soon expected to discuss with the president ways and means of meeting the problem created by the defeat of the administration shipping bill.

AIRCRAFT SERVICE
 IN BAD CONDITION
Situation Really Alarming, Ac-
 cordinS to WainVrisht's Report

Washington, March 12.--The situa- ton in the army air service is most
 critical, with it's war surplus of equip
 ment rapidly disappearing and the wartime aeronautical authority fac ing extinction, Representative-el J. Mayhew Wainwright, republican, New York. former assistant secretary of war, declares in q partial report to Secretary Weeks on turning over his office to his successor, Dwight F. Davis. Under the national defense act the assistant secretary is charged with responsibility for planning mob- ilization of the nation for war.
 The outstanding conclusion of MT. Wainwright's two year study of the industrial situation was recommend ation for d continuing aircraft appro- priation over five years at S25, 100000 a year, s15,000,0 900 to be for procure ment of reserve planes and S1o,o0o.- 900 annually for current operations. Referring to the present situation of the air service, Mir Wainwright said:
 What there is left of it is rapidly disappearing, due 10 deteTlOralloH ana to the inevitable losses while in actual use It's war time manufactured equipment has been practically used up. The amounts of money appro- priated for new aircraft are so small that within two years it will have on hand less than one half the number of aircraft necessary for it's normal peace time work. There will be no aircraft to equip and expand the air service in time of emergency, no re- serve on hand and it will be impossi- ble in less than year to expand the remnant of the air craft which may be left to create it anew.
 "The situation is not only serious, | but is actually alarming"

POPE ISSUES DENIAL
Has Not Asked Archbishop to Con-
 vey Best Wishes to Mussolini.


 London, March 12.--A Rome dis patch to the Times says that the Os- servatore Romano. the official organ to the Vatican officially denied re- cent report that the Pope had in- structed the archbishop of Messina to convey his best wishes to Premier Mussolini. The journal says that when the Vatican thinks it necessary to speak it does not do so Ion incl dental occasions and in indirect ways"
 The correspondent recalling that the Osservatore Romano attached no special significance to Cardinal Vanu- telli's praise of Premier Mussolini at the recent wedding of the cardinals niece to Deputy Finzi indicates that although these denials are not intend- ed in spirit of hostility toward the government they are nevertheless de- signed to destroy the legend that the Holy See is supporting the govern ment.

Sensation In England

London. March i2 (By the Asso. ciated Press)-The swift and silent raid upon Irish suspects in Great Britain has created something Of a sensation here and developments are awaited with much curiosity.
 Judging from the customary retic- ence of the Free State 1t seems un- likely that much information will be given out now that the prisoners are safely landed in Irish jails. The statement which is expected in the British house of commons today will perhaps All the gaps in the story.
 Official announcement both here and in Ireland put the total number of prisoners at 9S but some of the press reports suggests large num- ber. One of the features of the roundup was It's widespread character.
 London, Glasgow and Liverpool. all of which have large Irish communi- ties, were the main centers of the raids but places very far from those cities furnished their quota of cap tives. Prisoners were taken in towns on the east coast of England and Scotland as far north as Aberdeen.

ENFORCEMENT DECREED

Strict enforcement of the code of
retail practices approved by the Bet

the board of trustees. it was an

director.
The public is entitled to know what
standards of advertising are under
consideration" Mr.. Cool said today.
Efforts being made by the merchants
to be fair should be known by the
public, and furthermore, this program
can do much toward building good
will fer the advertiser who cooper
ates. The primary purpose of the Bet

rather than destructive. The funda-

ing believable. Its purpose is not only
to prevent statements that are tech
nically untruthful. but to encourage
advertisers to be explicit and clear in
all statements"
Accordingly. a program for the en-
forcement of the general code of
standards has been sent out to adver-
tisers in Washington outlining in de-
