Tn one of your recent edi- torials a statement was made that New Britain would soon have an aviation field if some of its citizens owned planes and knew how to fly. In regards to citizens owning planes will say that there were several air planes owned here just a few years ago but as there was no field here all these machines had to be kept at the Hartford field. Hartford had a field long before one of it's citizens owned a single plane and the only planes on the field belonged in New Britain, in fact it was these New Britain owned planes that started the Hartford field and look what it is today. Some of these same men who owned planes here are waiting for a field so as soon as there is a field it will have plenty of ma chimes.
 The following is a list Of the men who owned planes here and used the Hartford field. Carl Dixon, John Thompson, Mir. Wessolock, Mir. Wright, Charles Davy, Ncls J. Nelson, Ray Terwilliger.

DETROIT, Jan. IL lP-An aura OF
phantom gold, involving fabulous
fortunes cleaned up within " few
years through association with an
automotive genius, Henry Ford per-
vaded an atmosphere of dry legal
terminology as defense attorneys in
the government tax suit here read
into the record evidence through
which they seek to evade payment of
$30,00O,OO0 additional to the treasury
The testimony bore on the $780,
100000 valuation placed on the Ford
company as of 1913, when it was
still comparatively in it's infancy,
which treasury officials now claim
was erroneous; of the enormous prof
its made by the nine defendants in
the suit when they sold their stock
to Ford in 1919 of which the $3O,-
600, 600 the government asks is but a
small portion One attorney in at
tempting to visualize the amounts at
issue compared the fortune in taxes
to a pile of 500 bills, the size of
the tons of documents stacked in

drawn yesterday before the committee,
that Senator-elect Brookhart, repub-
lican; Iowa, was a paid lobbyists for
ate confirm his nomination. To bear out
his statement to the senate that news
papers had published reports that
BroolShart was lobbying for farm re-
lief legislation before and was in the
pay of farm organizations.
Senator Steck presented to the COM
mittee an article from the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press charging that Brook
hart's expenses were, being paid by
such organizations.
The Iowa senator-elect, who was
ousted from the senate at the last
session in favor Of Stecl and who was
reelected last November, promptly de-
MED that even his expenses were be-
ing paid by farm organizations and
demanded to know whether stecl1
backed UP" the charge.
NO; 1 present it for the considera-
ton of the committee" Steck replied
Committeeman predicted that the
final report to the senate would COM
pletely exonerate Brookhart on all of
the charges and intimations that he
is paid lobbyist, which We're presented
by Senator Steck.
The chief grounds for opposition to
Woods nomination were that he for
merly was counsel for the Pittsburgh
Coal company, interested in the lake
car goal rates now before the in
terstate commerce commission, and
was appointed at the behest of Senator
Reed, republican, Pennsylvania, who
repeatedly has stated that the business
and commercial interests of the Key
stone state should have representation
on the commission.
Final arguments on the question of
Woods confirmation we're presented.
by Senator Reed and Senator Neely,
democrat, West Virginia, speaking for
the coal producers of the four So
called southern field states.
Senator Reed argued that Woods
stock and bond holdings in railroads
and other corporations would not in
fluence his judgment in rendering de-
cisions as a commissioner. He also
declared that the former ambassador
was well qualified for the positions;
that he had been faithful to every
trust imposed upon him in long years
of public service, and that there was
every reason to believe if he goes
on the Interstate commerce commits
sion he will obey the law in letter and
in spirit"
IF his nomination is confirmed, and
t will be-" Senator Reed said, "he will
