Louis N. Scherf, head of the law

President w. j. (Jack) Frye of the
Aero Corporation of California drop
ped down on the Camp Jones avia-
ton field shortly after noon yester-
day in one of his eight passenger
Fokker monoplanes. He was accom-
panied by Harry j. Tucker, manager
of public relations for the Arizona
division of the corporation, and L.
r. Carleton, saleSmanagers.
Frye Immediately explained to the
reception coplmittee that the party
had got late start from FL PaSo
which had put them about an hour
behind their time for arriving here.
Although they bucked stiff head
wind on the way over their flying
time from El PaSo was estimated at
two hours and twenty minutes
In an informal address before the
N. A. A. reception committee at a
luncheon rendered the fliers at the
Club Sociale in Aqua Prieta shortly
after their landing here, Frye ex-
planned his plans, the history Of his
corporation and the various require
ments of the commercial air service.
He said that the regular schedtlle
of passenger and freight service Will
be started by his company between
Tucson and Los Angeles on Or about
November % and that this service
would be gradually expanded as the
public comes to realize it's advantages
to take in Phoenix, Douglas, Ell Paso
and finally Dallas, Texas, where the
route will connect with the eastern
routes already operating ships daily.

At that time, the head Of the expe-
dition said, a further investigation
into the air traffic possibilities of
this section will be made and better
understanding will be arrived at as
to what service may be extended to
Douglas as the initial commercial air
traffic into this district.
Officers Of the local chapter of
the N. A. A. disclosed to Frye and
his companions that this city is in
the center of the most ttickly popu-
lated area the southern part of
the state and represents the greatest
wealth and the largest concentrated
industrial development. They brought
home to the aviatorg In this way
that the bringing of their air service
into Douglas would mean great in
creases in business not only on the
regularly planned route to the Cali
for1ia coast but eventually on the
route which will some day be opened
from Douglas to Mexico City.
Frye told the men 1t the luncheon
that if this district could afford one
passenger a day and reasonable
amount of freight he would consider
the immediate extension of the Tue.
son route into Douglas. He was
assured that many passengers would
take advantage of what has been
described as the safest, swiftest and
most comfortable means Of travel yet

CLEVELAND, Nov. Is P)-Sup-
porters of prohibition must either
bring about a better enforcement OF
the 18th amendment, or "face the
fight to take it out of the constitu-
ton" Senator William E. Borah, OF
Idaho, told several thousand members
of the National Grange at their con-
vention here tonight. 81 venture the
opinion that if the 18th amendment
cannot be enforced and the people
so conclude, they will take the 18th
amendment out of the constitution, :
the senator said.
"The most solemn Impeachment OF
constitutional government that I can
conceive of is to have in the charter
of government a provision that is
being constantly and VIGOROUSLY dis
regarded That kind of impeachment
OF constitutional government, the
people Of this country will not endure.
You must either enforce this amend
ment or face the fight to take it
out of the constitution
/ Declaring that all laws must be
enforced by the agencies of political
parties. Senator Borah told the
Grange members that when political
parties take up this law, and execute
it, with the same dispatch that they
do other laws, you will realize the
worth of the victory for which you
have been fighting for SO years. But
SO long as this side stepping con-
tinues there will be no adequate
enforcement.
| "What am asking for is party
and political fidelity to the conStl-
tuition as it has been written. l
am against the liquor traffic, but I
think more of constitutional govern
ment than I do about the liquor
traffic" Senator Bofah asserted. Il
think democratic institutions are
passing through as severe a test as

Fascism on one hand, communism
on the other and a vast drove OF
tinid souls in between, makes a
pretty hard fight for democratic
institutions.
'If the time. ever comes when a

COURT RULING.
OPENS WAY TO
ADJUSTMENTS
Renewal of Diplomatic Ne
gotiations May Follow
Oil Decision.
SHOW OPTIMISM
No definite move towards
Modus Vivendi Expected
Until Later.

WASHINGTON Nov. 18 P-Hope
that the action of the Mexican SUI
preme court in the Mexican Petroleum
company drilling permit case has
opened the way for adjustment of the
entire oil controversy with Mexico was
expressed today in formal statement
made public by the state department.
Officials were not inclined to go be-
yond this statement in discussing
significance of yesterdays Mexican
court decision. The complexities of
Mexican law, which differs widely from
American practice, make it difficult
to determine the full purpose of the
decision without detailed study Of the
written document which ultimately
will stand as the legal record for guild
ance of Mexican courts and executive
officials
Ambassador Morrow at Mexico City
confined himself to a message which
merely said that the decision was re-
ported to have held articles IA and is
of the Mexican petroleum law uncon-
stitutional in the specific case in which
the decision was rendered. 1t would
require four similar decisions on the
same points in as many separate cases
to wipe those articles of the petroleum
act off the statute books of Mexico.
In view of the prolonged delay
which is expected before Mexican legal
machinery completes its action on the
drilling permit cases, the hope ex-
pressed by the state department that
this first decision might open the way
to adjustment of the controversy is
taken in some quarters as inpIVing the
possibility of another attempt at
diplomatic negotiations to expedite a
return to full operation of American
owned Oil properties in Mexico.
1t appeared possible that Washing
ton officials were at least meditating
over the chances there might now be
of negotiating working understand
ing with Mexico which would protect
American oil properties from retroac-
tive application of unconstitutional
provisions regarded by the Washing
ton government as confiscatory.
Even if this is the case, it is not to
be expected that any definite move to-
ward modus vivendi would be made
prior to the reducing of the supreme
court decision to writing where it's
exact significance could be determined
by each government.
Aside from any other consideration
however, there is no doubt that the
decision as reported has created a
profound impression in Washington
and inspfad hopes for future rela-
tions between the two countries that
have not existed here for many
months.

Fog was blamed for the postponing
of the start today Everything was
in readiness for the hop-off about
9:30 a. m. Then, while officials were
investigating soft spot in the far
end of the runway fog rolled across
San Francisco bay to the edge OF

The field itself was clear but out
over the bay and against the near

Gordon emphasized that the affi-
davits which they had filed on Nov
ember l were the basis and cause
of the action of the court on Nov
ember % in withdrawing a juror and
discharging the jury from further
consideration of the case and de-
claring mistrial
But Gordon assigned as his irnme-
diate cause of his refusal to serve on
the committee, the fact that since
the mistrial he had presented to a
grand jury evidence "on every phase
of the situation" and had 'quite
positive views as to who should be
prosecuted" He added that in these
circumstances it seemed to him that
if he acted on the committee he
would be placed in ian anomalous
and inconsistent position"
In accepting Gordcn'S resignation
Justice SjddonS was equally as plain
IN expressing his own views as to
the declination of the district attor-
ney to assist the court in "the ad-
ministration of justice, by vindicating
and maintaining its authority"
Justice Siddons declared that the
inquiry he ordered two weeks after
the mistrial was announced as zone
to determine whether in the national
capital, the administration of justice
in one of the established courts
therein may be successfully flouted
and defied,"
Moreover the justice declared that
the alleged contempt did not con-
stit!lte an issue in the oil case, "but
is collateral to it and, in a sense,
superior to it, in that, if proven, it
constitutes an assault upon the ad-
ministration of justice, an obstruction
of its (the court's) justice and a
defiance of its power and authority .
cit is peculiarly fitting that you,
under the circumstances, should be
selected with two other members of
the bar to assist the court in aScer-
tanning the truth of a matter of
such grave concern" the justice
added. "But your assistance, to be
OF use, would have to be ungrudgingly
and Fundamentally given"
Justice Siddons is expected to name
another member of the bar to sue
ceed Gordon and the committee then
will be in a position to function.
Whatever facts it gathers as to any
criminal contempt involved in the
oil case will be laid before the court
for it's action.
The inquiry of the committee is
expected to be directed against all
of the persons who have come under
investigation by the grand jury.
Should the court be convinced that
there had been an effort to obstruct
justice it could forthwith impose Jail
sentences upon those involved.
Whether the committee will begin
operating before the grand jury re-
ports remains to be determined
Practically all of the evidence has
been submitted and the jury could
determine early next week whether it
will make a presentment against Sim
clair and the others under fire
! Since an inquiry into the charges
that Kidwell talked too freely about
the oil case during the trial is to be
made by the courts committee
Justice Siddons today indefinitely
postponed the hearing on Kidwell's
petition for opportunity to present
his side of the case. Postponement
was at the suggestion of S. Comas
Hawkins, Kidwell's attorney.
