The sticklers deny it, claiming Los
Angeles took the air
The latter back up their assertions
with the more or less logical argu-
ment that Los Angeles means "the
angels" To say the Los Angeles" is
equivalent, they aver, to saying, the
the angels, usage not sanctioned
by the apostles.
The liberalistS come back strongly
with the declaration that Los Angeles
has lost its native citizenship and be-
come Americanized into what may be
considered one word, comprising a
complete name and entirely devoid of
its Spanish meaning.
If the newspapers carried headlines
to this effect: Los Angeles Blown
Out to Sea: None Injured" Hollywood

declare the report greatly exaEgerat-

SHIP |AND AIRCRAFT
F: REPORTS ARE DUE.
House Investigating Commit
tees to Give Partial Data
on Work.

With Its return to business Monday,
the House expects to receive the par
tial reports of two special committees
that have been conducting investiga-
tons during the Summer recess.
One of these is the committee head
ed by Representative White. Republic
can, Maine. appointed to investigate
the Shipping Board. and the other is
the committee in charge of Represen-
tative Lampert, Republican. Wisconsin.
which has been inquiring into all
branches of aircraft production and
operation.
Because of the scope of these two
Investigations, the committees, 1t is
said, are far from completing their
tasks. and both have indicated that a
partial report will be submitted on the
work that has been accomplished to
date.
Studied In Europe.
Before the adjournment last Spring
the Shipping Board committee took up
a thorough scrutiny of the operations
of the Washington headquarters of
the board and Emergency Fleet Cor
poration. This inquiry later in the
Summer was extended to operations in
New York City and several other
points. Several members, including
Representative Lineberger, Republican.
California, and Representatives Davis,
Tennessee: Connally, Texas. and Bank
head, Alabama, all Democrats. made a
special trip to Europe to inquire into
the foreign activities of the board.
Despite the Summer work OF the
committee. many phases Of the work
remain to be Investigated, and 1t is
thought by some that the entire field
may not be covered before the final
adjournment of the SiXty-eighth Con-
gress next March.
The aircraft committee also has
been at work during the Summer
months, but it is understood COM
mittee members feel they have just
scratched the surface of the many
phases of their inquiry.
Some members even feel that the
work may have to be continued over
into the next Congress. as the COM
mittee. besides looking for any irreg-
ularities that may have occurred in
aircraft operation and production,
also wants to recommend a compre-
hensive survey for the future de-
velopment OF the Governments air
craft industry.

Questlonnaires were sent out by the

1t was learned that at the meet

The text OF the Egyptian Parlia-
ments telegram to the secretariat-
general of the league. as made public
here officially yesterday, makes no
mention whatsoever of the phrase as
given out in the version published
in Paris. that Parliament asks the
league to intervene and defend
Egypt. The Geneva text merely says
that the Egyptian Parliament sends
its protest to all the worlds parlia-
ments against the arbitrary action Of
England.
1t is pointed out that under Article

OF war, is held to be matter OF
concern to the whole league and that
the league may take any action IL

Neither Senator Ladd nor Senator
Frazier-both OF North Dakota-was

although they were for La Toilette
there is no evidence that their own
elections came through any but reg
ular processes inside the Republican
party. There position Is hardly un-

they may of their own volition choose
to join with Senators Shipstead and
Magnus Johnson, the Farmer-Labor
representatives, in forming an indie
pendent group. But this seems I'M
likely.
Mr.. La Toilette has always contend
ed that he was a true Republican,
progressive and not a reactionary. So
has Senator Norris and some OF the
other Western insurgents. But who
is to decide what is really regular

Decision OF Policy.

So long as there Is a primary sys-
tenn the Western Republicans will
insist that the word regularity"
will be decided at the polls by the
people of each district or each State
and not by leaders or groups Of lead
ers, who happen to be more numerous
in the majority party. President Will
sons effort to discipline members of
his own party was directed at the
electorate in primary elections. The
administration itself took no part in
any primary contest in either the
Senate or the House, at least no
avowed and open part, though here
and there friends Of the administra-
ton raised funds and devoted them
selves untiringly to the problem of
furnishing the Presidents opponents

rather than the rule.
