of the $50 air traffic executives at

conference called by the Aeronauti-

Formation OF 4 body similar to

day'a session Of the conference.
The suggestion promised to cause
considerable discussion among the
executives Of 20 major air transport
lines who are present.
4 Regulatory Powers
The body proposed by Halliburton
would have regulatory powers over
ali phases OF aerial transportation OF
mail, passengers and express. He
asked the assemblage to go on
record as favoring some effective
sort of regulation.
"The fact that there is no regu-
lation of passenger fares ,on air
lines has resulted in marked dis
elimination between localities In
the matter Of rates." Halliburton
said. There are lines In the South

Tor permits, IL became KNOWN
About six will receive licenses
and the 100000 gallons to be pro-
duced will be allocated among
them. The permittees will be scat
tered over the country in order to
cut down transportation and thus
reduce the chances Of diversion to
illegal purposes.
DIR. James NJ. Doran, prohibition
commissioner. explained that with
normal barrel soakage and evapora-
tion the 100000 gallons will age
out, at the end of a four-year period,
to between 100000 and 1,700, 900
gallons" approximately the annual
requirement. The amounts to be
manufactured in ensuing years must
be determined by the factors before
the commissioners at the time.
Investigators are looking into the
qualifications and records Of appli-
cants for permits and will submit
reports to DIR. Doran within the
next few days. Every effort will be
made to prevent diversions Of the
new whisky and officials believe
they have worked out a nearly air
tight plan.
Seventy per cent Of the whisky
to be produced win be bourbon and
80 per cent rye. There are approx.
mately 10000 physicians licensed to
issue whisky prescriptions.
The present supply of medicinal
whisky is about 9,500,000 gallons,
left from 15,127.3SO gallons origi.
nally placed in warehouses. By
January /, before which time manu-.
facture is expected to begin, Doran
estimated that the liquor stock
would be sufficient for four years.
The withdrawal of whisky for
medicinal purposes has been about
100000 gallons annually in recent
years and according to information
from the trade and professions. the
rate will not change materially in
the next four years.

to consult the paper. No juror was
accepted until he had satisfactorily
answered the questions and had
been finally sanctioned by the de-
fendant, Peacox.
Many talesmen were excused be-
cause they had formed q fixed
opinion as to the guilt or innocence
OF the defendant or were opposed
to execution Of the death penalty.
Others were peremptorily challenged
or excused for cause.
II am going to tell you that this
killing all happened in the flash Of

questioning one OF the talesmen.
This defendant had no more in.
tention of killing his wife than 1
had. It was just one Of those
things that came up and happened"
Court was adjourned for luncheon
until 1:45 this afternoon after the
judge had admonished the Jurors
already selected not to discuss the
case or read the newspapers.
Insanity Plea
Peacox's plea, as indicated by his
chief counsel, Sidney A. Syme,
Will be a combination Of temporary
insanity and the claim that he
killed in self defense. Twice, during
their hectic honeymoon Dorothy had
left her young husband and fiirted
with other men, according to Syme,

she taunted him. She Is alleged to

pected to be an important witness
may not testify after all. He is a
wireless operator aboard ship and
VIII not be able to reach White
Piains before October Is. The trial
probably will proceed without him.
Defense Attorney Syme informed the
court that on June 2s last he re-
ceived cablegram from Bussey
which said he had secured a position
as radio operator on the steamship
Curaca and was then In South
