BIC DRY LAW FUND
/ IS HIT BY MELLON
Secretary's Statement DimS
/ Prospect of $25, 600, 900
| for Enforcement.
II thu Associated Press.

\
! The prospect Of congressional ap-
broval of the S25,000,O00 increase for
prohibition enforcement voted by the
Senate appropriations committee is
dirnned by the decision of Secretary
Mellon to oppose it, in letter trans
mitted today to the Senate.
The Secretary's communication will
be sent to Chairman Warren of the
Senate appropriations committee, and
will be presented simultaneously to the
Senate with the committees favorable
report on the proposed increase for the
uouor laws enforcement The appro-
priation was proposed by Senator Har-
lis, Democrat, Georgia, and the fund
would be made available for the cur
rent fiscal year.
The Treasury Department, in dis
approving the appropriation, Is under
stood to feel that the addition OF $685.
100000 to the funds of the prohibition
bureau for use in only one phase OF
its duties-enforcem not
speed up the bureaus work.
Harris Criticises Mellon Statement.
In statement replying to the Treas
iry heads opposition to his proposal,
Senator Harris last night declared that
.'knowing his (Mellon's) position and
record on prohibition enforcement he
was naturally not surprised" He add
ed that the Secretary's views are in
dorsed 'Fby relatively small minority
of our people and great majority diff
fer with him"
Contending that the prohibition Law
las never had fair trial, the Georgia
Senator said that in his belief con-
scientious Prohibitionists in the Senate
or House VII not allow "partisianship
or anything else to influence them" to
vote against his proposal land strike
D blow at prohibition enforcement"
Wyoming Senator's Position.
! Secretary Melons letter sustains the
position of Senator Warren, who op-
posed the Harris proposal, but on differ
ent grounds. The Wyoming Senator
objected to the increase on the ground
that it would imperil President Cool
idge's balanced budget.
Prohibition officials have pointed out
that under the present enforcement
appropriation, $l3,500,000. for the cur
rent year, they are unable to get their
cases tried in the courts with any de-
gree of rapidity. To increase the arrests
through the added enforcement fund
would only result in causing a greater
congestion of judicial machinery.

Jugoslavias new regime is being

Those who applaud have seen in King

The censorship coupled with rather

ministers to the dictum of their premier,
Gen. Peter Zivtovitch, that they must
work more and talk less, have prevented

AIR SCHOOL RATING
URGED BY BINGHAM.
Bill introduced in Senate by
Him Providing Examination
by U. S. Agents.

As q means of guaranteeing standard:
Of civilian flying schools In the United
States. Senator Hiram Bingham OF
Connecticut, president of the National
Aeronautic Association. today introduced
in the Senate bill to amend the air
commerce act Of 1925, so as to provide
for the annual examination and rating
of such schools.
The examination would cover the ade-
quacy of the course of instruction, the
suitability and airworthineSS of the
training planes and equipment and the
competency of the instructors.
I'm Offering this amendment" Sena-
tor Bingham explained, 81 had in mind
the fulfillment of one of the greatest
needs Of American aeronauticS today.
Called Need of Young America.
America, particularly young America,
desires to acquire wings, but there Is a
perplexing problem before the aspiring
pilot in the form of his inability to
obtain course of instruction that not
only will qualify him to fly when and
where he pleases, but at the same time
will clothe him with safety and make
him Of potential value to the areial
reserve defense of the Nation
Senator Bingham, after outlining the
activity of the Government in promot-
Ing aeronautics by approving and licens-
ing planes. examining and licensing
motors and establishing airwayS and
airport ratings, stressed the need for
the devoting of similar attention to
flying schools.
"The beginner" he said dis left tn
struggle in the wilderness as to where
to go for his aeronautical education
because there is nothing on record that
can serve as guide to properly
equipped schools where he may obtain
training that will give him a sound
foundation for career in civil aeronau-
tics: The potential pilot. and there
are thousands of them throughout the
country today. is left to pick, hit or
miss. an institution that may or may
not qualify him for career or a voca-
ton in aeronauticS. His choice may
go so far wrong as to cost him his
life.
Thinks Schools Would Welcome Act.
There is nothing mandatory about
this rating. No one is obliged to apply
for 1t. But I believe that all good
flying schools in operation today
schools which are conscientious and are
hard to meet the requirements
of training able pilots-will welcome the
rating OF their institutions by the De-
partment Of Commerce. Nothing will
help them more. be they large or small"

for judgment against the city of
New Britain came up for a hearing
this morning before Judge Yeomans
in the superior court.
Cavanaugh endeavored to show
the court cause for action and why
Judgment should be given against
the city, and before he had any
time to present his argument Judge
feomans folded the papers stating
that he would have to lhow cause Of
action as against Alfred L. Thomp.
son. the city clerk, and not against
the city of New Britain. Cavana urh
attempted to say something else. but
Judge Yeomans stated emphatically
that the motion for judgment a.
against the city was denied.
Cavanaugh elicited considerable
laughter In superior court last week
with his Latin quotation when at
the conclusion Of his argument he
said. IF the city will file 4 cognovit

will withdraw my smplAint." At
