N ALL SUBSIDY
QUIZ LOOMS
IN SENATE
Norris Sees Plot to Ruin U. S.
Parcel Post; Broad Probe
of Air, Ship Contracts Urged

A sweeping Senate investiga-
tion of airnail and steamship
mail subsidies in connection with
postal deficit blamed ON the
parcel post. loomed today as
charges we're made by Senator
Norris (R) of Nebraska, that ex-
press companies were seeking to
put the parcel post out Of busi-
ness.
AS the Interstate Commerce
Commission prepared to open
hearings on an application by
Postmaster General Brown to in
crease parcel post rates approx
mately 100000, both Brown
and members of the commission
had before them d Senate reso-
luton requesting that no new
rates be put into effect as re-
suit of the hearings until the
Senate has made an investigation.
Senator McKellar Cd Of Ten
nessee, author Of the resolution,
expressed confident that final
action would be deferred by the
Interstate Commerce Comm1s-
sion in Difference to the Senate's
request.
Subsidy Probe Plenned
This will give the Senate
chance to investigate the subsi-
dies paid for development OF the
airmail, and for ocean mail serv.
ice, and their relation to parcel
post rates. A resolution for such
an inquiry is now being worked
out by Senators McKellar and
Moses (R.) Of New Hampshire.
The resolution also provides for
an inquiry into the postal tube
situation in the larger cities.
Referring to the threatened par
eel post increase, Norris said:
"This is an effort to put the
parcel post out of business.
There Is o hope to make the
deficit gerater, then raise the
rates of parcel post higher and
higher until the people no
longer use it and the only COM
petition of the express com.
panies is driven out Of business.
81 do not believe we can
ever put the pOstOffice on q
paying basis, because there are.
so many confusing and conflict
ing interests. But as long as
we are paying subsidies, we
should pay a subsidy on parcel
post for the benefit of the
poor people Of the nation"
Charges Ship Profiteering
Mcclellan charged that ships
were being sold to steamship
companies by the Government at !
low cost, and Immediately mail
contracts were awarded totalling
more than the cost of the ship.
Senator Black CD of Alabama
read into the record figures show
ing one steamship line running
to South America was paid a
subsidy of 100000 for carrying
SO worth of mail. The Dollar
line, he said, got $72S,OO for
carrying $13,50O of mail; the
E stern Steamship Company,
$4,000 for $1,4O0 of mail: the
Munson line, $92O,OO0 for carry
ing $4,000 in mail; the New
York and Cuba line. 1924 400 for
$35 of mail, and the Oceanic
Steamship Company, $123,000 for
carrying $145 worth.
McKellar, Black and Norris all
agreed that the proposed increase
in parcel post rates was to meet
a deficit that was caused by pay.

SAM SMART WINS
 AT SOUTHINCT0N

Southington, Aug 20-Sam Smart of Middletown has been knocking at the door ever since the season started but 1t was not opened for him until late yesterday afternoon at the Southington Country club.
 The Middletown veteran, who de- veloped his game on the flat falr- ways of Goodwin Park, came down here and played consistent golf that brought him a pair of 76's. That 152 total for 36 holes was good enough to win the one day tourna- ment put on under the auspices of the Hartford District association of Nine Hole Golf clubs.
 The well-liked Smart has waited a long time for this deserved vic- tory. He has sort of reconclled himself to finishing second. Twice this season he finished just behind Bobby Grant and once he tied Bobby only to lose the sudden death" playoff. Smart's win to is was one of the most popular of the season. This time he didn't have to worry about any ulayoff. His 152 total was three strokes better than his near est competitors. who happened to be Dom Soccoli and Pete Petroski of Goodwin Park, each of whom | had 76-79-155.
 Bobby Grant, the Wethersheld wizard who clicked off seven one day tournament victories in a row before being stopped last week at the Hartford Golf club, still was | in the doldrum yesterday. His score was decent enough but now where near the figure around which Bobby hovered earlier in the sea son. The best he could do waa a 78 and 70 which was good Tor nothing better than four place.

 Mandells bout with Kaplan will be the former lightweight cham pion's first battle in New England, a section which places Louis the Kid at the top of the list of It's ring favorites, and the match is expected to prove one of the best of the outdoor season.
