FOREIGN SHIP Use
CHARGED TO FORD
Manufacturer Accused of
Competing With U. S.
Owned Vessels.

Charges that the Ford Motor Co.
used foreign vessels in competing with
American transatlantic lines, were
contained in a memorandum filed yes
terday with the Shipping Board.
The charges, presented by j. Cald-
well jenkins, vice president Of the
Merchant Fleet Corporation, were con-
sidered by the board at its regular
weekly meeting but no action was an
nounced.
More than two. years ago the board
began an investigation to determine
whether the Ford company's freight
ers operating between Atlantic and Pa
ciflc coasts, through the Panama Canal,
were acting as common carriers.
The investigation was dropped, how
ever, when the company compiled with

jenkins, listing eight foreign freight
ers he said had been chartered by the
Ford company between January 81 and
March IL of this year, explained he
thought it advisable to bring the Sit
nation to the attention of the board,
'as possibly Mr.. Ford might be pre-
vailed upon to improve his ways"
Jenkins said this caused the American
companies to lose the Ford business and
threatened the stability OF the rate
structure.
Seek General Cargo.
Oficials expressed the opinion the
board had no legal means to compel a
change in the Ford shipping arrange
ments. but thought he might be re-
Quested not to carry general cargo on
his chartered ships.
Jenkins said the Ford interests had
excess space at their disposal and ARE
now soliciting other general cargo for
Havre and Rotterdam in competition
with our American-France and Amerl-
can Diamond lines and at less than the
conference rates" These rates are those
agreed upon for certain zones on SPECIFIC
commodities
"The extension of this practice can
not help but retard the development OF
liner services" Jenkins contended.
The memorandum said the Ford
company had chartered ships of British,
German, Danish, Norwegian and ia

PITTS AND OTHERS
!. CONTEMPT RULING
SET FOR MONDAY
Sentence Likely to Follow I'M
mediateIy If Prisoner
Is Found Guilty.
VAL UE OF EVIDENCE
HINGES ON FINDINGS
Authenticity of 142 Documents In
troduced in Trial Will Be
Decided by Court.

A decision in the contempt of court
proceedings against G.. Bryan Pitts,
former head of the F. H. Smith Co.,
and Others" will be announced Mon
day morning by Justice F. D. Let's.
The courts decision will in effect be
ruling on the authenticity of 142 au-
thoriZations and~xeceipts, introduced in
evidence by Pitts at his trial last year
on acy-embezZlement charges in
an attempt to show he was entitled to
money the Government charged he en-
bezzled.
The case started Monday and was
closed yesterday, when Pitts, on advice
of counsel, declined to present a de-
Tense. His attorney Dozier De Vane,
pointed out that Pitts is already under
indictment in connection with the use
of these documents and contended he
could not reply to the Government at
this time without disclosing his defense
to that criminal charge.
Charges Are Preferred.
Nugent Dodds, Assistant Attorney
General, and Neil Burkinshaw, q spe-
cial assistant, asked the court to hold
in contempt Pitts and any other per-
son who may appear to have been con-
nected with the alleged offense.
Emory L. Coblentz, Frederick, Md,
banker, took the stand yesterday and
testified Pitts had ruined" him and
his associates. He said he meant by
this testimony that he felt Pitts was
responsible in a large measure for the
recent failure of his chain Of IL banks
in nearby Maryland.
He said his bank, the Central Trust
Co., did not have any bad Smith paper
at this time, but that large amounts
were lying in subsidiaries Of the bank.
Early Sentence Expected.
If Justice Let's finds there was o
contempt of the court. he probably will
sentence Pitts Monday. If he believes
other persons were involved, the pro-
cedure will be for him to cite them and
set date of trial, when the Govern
ment will represent its evidence In an
effort to convict them.

For the first time In history a me-
chanical aviator, a thing of horoscopes
electric motors, switches, wires, pulleys
and cables, has been licensed by the
Department of Commerce to fly passen-
gers and airmail.
The robot has been licensed as CO.
pilot of NC-727K, a big 18-passenger
mail and passenger plane of Eastern Air
Transport, and will go into service on
the coastal run through the National

As a result of the decision of the
Department of Commerce that Auto

pilot. his robot brothers are expected
to take their places as rapidly as they
can be made in Brooklyn plant in
other planes of the line.
It is considered likely that mechani-
