President Does
Not Approve of
Unified Air Service

| Washington, Dec. 4.-(AP)-The
question of the relative Importance
| to be assigned the airplane in the
national defense organization grew
! in stature today as one of the maj or
issues confronting the new congress.
The indications were clear that the
fight over the junior weapon in the
nations armament would find party
lines practically submerged.
President Coolidge made 1t clear
today that he did not approve the
unified air service idea, but looked
with favor on the report of the air
board appointed by him, and adj
ministratiOn leaders in both houses
and senate took steps to carry out
the boards recommendations Sena-
tor Robinson of Arkansas, the Demo-
cratic leader, on the other hand,
served notice that a fight would be
made for unification of control over
the governments aviation activities.
The Democratic leader, in calling
for a far more drastic change in the
national defense organization than
proposed by the board, was In ac-
cord with number of senators and
representatives who are urging
unified air service. either through
creation of a department of national
defence in which land, sea and air
activities would be given co-equal
status or through establishing
separate department of aviation.

Congress Leaders
Defer Action on
Insurgent Members

Washington, Dec. 4.-(AP)-With
decision as to the political status of
the insurgents likely to be deferred
! until next week. Republican leaders
of the house and senate made final
plans today for the opening Monday
of the seth congress.
Responsible for the organization of
both houses by reason of their ma
jorities, the Republicans have been
called into separate conferences to-
morrow to perfect states which will
be voted on during the first few days
of the session.
Democrats of the house also will
meet tomorrow TO select their can
didates for offices Of that chamber,
and to arrange their committee as
signments. The Senate Democrats
will meet Monday just before the
session gets under way.
With the exception of the election
of secretary and the assignment
of few newly elected Republicans
to the standing committees. the or
ganization OF the senate is. complete.
The house. however. has to elect all
of its officers and the problem of the
leaders is to complete this Monday
and to adopt amended rules.
The main questions. still before
the leaders Of the senate. are the po-
litical status to be given to Senator
L.aFollette of Wisconsin. and the
right of Senator designate Nye Of
North Dakota, to a senate seat.
The Republican committee on COM
mittees failed to muster quorum to-
day to discuss the status of Senator
LaFollette and for that reason it was
predicted that this subject would not
come before the party conference to-
morrow

the football schedule tomorrow.
Actual football practice under the
direction of coach was fixed at two
hours a day. The new ruling, how
ever, does not prevent individual
players from going on the field and
practicing punting and forward pass
ing. but is designed to stop organized
drills. The new rule will shorten
most of the session in the western
conference as many of the coaches
have drilled their proteges three and
four hours an afternoon.
Motion pictures may be taken OF
teams in action in games but they
must not be used for scouting pur-

" Hot Cereal."

Are you one of those who we taken

New Data is the wonderful new
Kellogg breakfast food. The hot ce-
real for cool mornings. The first real
improvement on oats in fifty years.
The cereal women have asked for so
often. It's so good it just melts in
your mouth. In the Kellogg kitchens
they have taken two of nature g most
favored grains-oats. aud wheat-and
blended all their individual goodness
to create new, glorious flavor. New
Data has all the keen relish of the
finest oats-all the savoriness of golden
wheat. It's wonderful combination.
And New Data is ready-cooked. No
long preparing and waiting. Just heat
it in boiling water three minutes be-
fore serving. You II find that it never
gets the mushy, soggy body of oat-
meal. New Data is always light, de-
icious, with perfect texture. Your
grocer has it. Try a package today.
