Slow Promotion Cited
 In Air Officials Talk

Washington, Nov 26 H) - Slow promotion in the army air corps and a shortage in aircraft were cited today by r. Trubee Dawson, assist ant secretary of war for aeronau- tics, as stumbling blocks to pro- gress.
 The promotio problem in the corps continues ito cast it's shadow over the service" Davison said in his annual report To meet the shortage in aircraft, he recommend cd eventual procurement of suffl- cient planes 10 keep full active strength even while some are with drawn for major repairs.
 The assistant secretary went at length into the controversy over du pliCations in the aerial coast defense between army and navy, describing it as serious"

LEAGUE ECONOMIC
 SESSION ADJ0URNS
Results Of Conference Not Re-
 markable, Delegates Agree

Geneva, Nov. 2S P-The second conference of the League of Ma tions for concerted economic action of member nations closed today with it's delegates frank in their admission that it's results were not remarkable.
 Chairman H. Collin of Holland summarizing the work in which rep Iesentatives of 26 states participat- cd declared that the one ray of hope surviving the conference was in the promise of the governments to seek tariff reduction by means Of bilateral negotiations. He said that the conference had abandoned the hope for tariff reduction through multiateral convention.
 The economic conference of 1927 agreed that the time had come to halt rising tariff walls and start a movement in the other direction" said the chairman in closing the 12- day sessions this forenoon, but after three years tariff conditions in general arc just as bad as ever.
 Everybody has agreed upon the necessity of reduction but nobody has done anything to live up to his belief. We have now chosen 10 di- rect our efforts for tariff reduction along bilateral lines. The rcsponsi- bility of countries which made this decision is a grave one. If this effort fails it will be disastrous to the whole of Europe because the few remaining trade countries will turn protcctionist.

RAILROADS WILL
 SEEK REGULATION
Want 'Uniair" Competition
 Under Federal Law

New York, Nov. 2S.-LPl-A legis- lative program designed to elimin- ate what it considers unfair restric- tions on railroads, and to curb cer- tain practices of other industries and transportation lines, is being drafted by the American Association of Railway Executives. The assocla- tion represents 90 per cent of the railway mileage Of the United States.
 Forecast Last Week
 The action was forecast last week in the programs adopted by the executives and by the Railway Man. ufacturers association, and Charley C. Paulding, vice president of the New York Central lines, let it be known today that the preparation of the legislative program was in progress.
 One of the proposed legislative acts, MT. Paulding said, and one not included in the program out lined by the two associations last week, would compel the oil indus try 10 divest itself of a $400, 900, 900 inuvestment in oil pipe lines. These pipe lines now cross much of the united States carrying oil direct from the fields to consuming points.
 Under the commodities clause of the interstate commerce act, MT. Paulding pointed out, interstate transport by the railroads of any commodity other than timber in which it is directly or indirectly in terested, is forbidden.
 The railroads now propose" he said, that pipe line companies be put under the same restriction and forbidden to transport any con- modity in the production or manu- facture of which they are directly or indirectly interested"
 Seek Bus Regulation
 The railroads also will seek rcgu- lation Of freight and passenger car rying bus lines and will ask author ity to operate such lines themselves. They will urge extension Of the power of the interstate commerce commission over coastal steamship lines, the standardization of coastal steamship service requirements and amendment of the Panama Canal act to allow railroads to operate steamship lines coastally.

Allows Rhode Island Man to Go
 Free Under Decision

Providence, +. I.,Nov. 2S.-UP) A Thanksgiving pardon by Presi- dent Hoover was revealed in a note from the chief executive to United States District Attorney Henry M. Boss, Jr.. today.
 Mir.

Conley will not have to pay the fine. the communication to Boss reveal ed
 Rudolph Kraft and Elwood Ban- field. New York stamp dealers, were convicted with Conley on the con- spiracy charge. but they appealed and the decisions in their cases were reversed on the ground that the al legged conspiracy did not take place in Rhode Island and that the con- yiCtions in federal court here were therefore illegal.
 Conley did not appeal. though it was generally conceded that the de- cision in his case would have been reversed just as in the cases of Kraft and Banfield.
 The pardoned man is known in prison circles as The Parson" be- cause of his exemplary conduct while in jail.
 George Savage is serving a 19- year sentence at Fort LeavenWorth penitcntiary for larceny Of stamps from the Pawtucket post office. The robbery was the biggest Of its kind in 50 years.
