GIANT AIR COMPANY.
PLAN IS REVEALED.
General Motors Declared In
terested In Move by
Fokker Concern.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, May REORGANIZATION
OF company designed to occupy the
same place in aviation as General Mo-
tors Corporation holds in the automo-
one industry is seen in the plans of the
Fokker Aircraft Corporation, announced
yesterday, to change its name to Gen
eral Aviation Corporation and become .
holding company. 1t now is a manu-
featuring and distributing company.
The plan for General Aviation Cor
poration Is to take over the present
Fokker company as Q subsidiary and
acquire the Dornier Company of Ameri-
ca, In both Of which companies Cen
control. The Dornier Company Of
America was formed last october by
General Motors and the Fokker COM
pany.
HanShue'S Announcement.
The announcement of the change in
the policy of the Fokker company, in
which General Motors, by virtue of it's
purchase of so per cent of the STOCK has
been the largest stakeholder since May,
1929, was made by Harris M. Hanshue,
president of the Fokker Corporation, He
said that the directors of the Fokker
company had approved the change in
, name and policy and had recommended
, to stockholders the increase in the
ker company from the present 1000, 900
shares of no par value to 100000
shares Of no par value.
While details of the ownership of
the stock of the new company were
not announced, 1t is expected that after
the organization and the issuance of its
stock in return for that of the present
Fokker Co. and the Dornier Co. Cen
| eral Motors Corporation will have more
than a majority of the outstanding
! stock. General Aviation Corporation
does not plan any exchange of stock
for the present Fokker stock, so that
General Motors will have q 40 per cent
interest In the new company before it
| acquires the Dornier Co. The General
Motors holding in Fokker is far larger
| than any other single holding, the re-
naming 600,0 900 outstanding shares of
the company being scattered In small
lots throughout the country.
Motors to Get Control.
Although the exact interest which
General Motors holds In the Dornier
company has never been announced 1t
has been assumed that 1t had an even
| interest with the Fokker company in
the flying boat mandatory The addi-
tional stock which General Motors
would receive in the acquisition of the
Dornier company by General Aviation
Corporation undoubtedly would give it
a majority control.
The announcement by Mr.. Hanshue
said that additional properties are being
| negotiated for, to be acquired by Gen.
eral Aviation Corporation and that it
was for the purpose of carrying through
these negotiations that the amendment
to the by-laws of the Fokker company
to permit the increase In the authorized
stock was recommended to the stock
| holders by the directors. Mr.. Hanshue
did not discuss what companies are
being negotiated for, aside from the
Fokker and Dornier, but the announce
ment that such negotiations were going
on revived the report that Western Ar
Express would be one Of them.

The appointment of DR., John Lee

tions. and the Chief Executive has fol-
lowed at intervals throughout his oc-
cupancy of the White House a policy
of choosing men with years of expert

1928 Governor General of the Philip
pines, was taken from this field to be-
come head of the State Department
In the formation of his cabinet Mr..
Hoover also chose as his Attorney Cen
eral, William d. Mitchell, who was then
solicitor general, and upon the death OF
James w. Good, the Assistant Secretary
of War. Patrick j. Hurley was promoted.
In addition to this trio others have
climbed the ladder through appoint
ment by President Hoover, among them
his close friend while he was Secretary
of Commerce, Or. Julius Klein, who
was promoted from the direction of
the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic
Commerce to be Assistant Secretary OF
Commerce; Charles D. Mahaff1e, long
finance director of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, who recently sue
ceeded Thomas F. Woodlock as COM
missioner, and DR.. Coulter, who has

Both Parties to Marriage Must Be

DAMASCUS, Syria (P).-Neither the
purchase price ordinarily paid by the
Moslem bridegroom for the bride nor
the dowry customary among some
Christians is in future to be regarded
as an obligatory adjunct TO marriage,
the Oriental Women's Congress decreed
during its four days sitting.
Moreover, the purchase price is to be
reduced to the lowest possible limit and
both bride and bridegroom are to be at
least ID years of age prior to marriage
Employment of children under "A
years of age is to be prohibited If the
women have their way.
Though the delegates to the congress
were distinctly modern in many ways,
they demanded that divorce be made
more difficult and that it be granted
merely in exceptional cases and for
weighty reasons.

COTTON PRICES FEEL
PICKING CARE EFFECT
Farmers Are Urged to Pick Bios

Farmers lose enormous sums each year
on their cotton crops because of lack
of care in picking, says r. w. Hamil-
ton, extension agronomist at the State
Agricultural College. He has found the
handling of cotton between the field
and the gin has much to do with the
price it will bring.
He urger farmers to pick cotton as
soon as the bollS open and the lint
"f1uffs," but never while it it wet. 1t

says but stored loosely under shelter to
allow drying out of excess moisture and

This gives the lint higher tensile
strength. better STAPLE, better luster and

reach their later maturity, Many for
merly able to care for themselves, are
now unable to work, or provide for
their families.
From our immediate local terri
tory, over a hundred cases have been
given attention during the past year.
For some fifty cases, disqualification
was secured, emergency relief given,
and in some cases burial was provid-
ed and burial benefits were secured.
We have some twenty-six mentally
incompetent cases in our own county
right now, where disabilities now
evident, are of service connection.
Numerous ohter cases Of local need
of veterans and their families were
cared for by your local Auxiliary.
when the Scouts or Camp Fire
girls greet you on the street bearing
the bright red emblems, drop your
donation (large or smalD in the box
es. Wear the poppy-the emblem of
sacrifice. Thus you will do your bit
in this great work."
