AVIATORS ARE WARNED
OF NATURAL GAS IN AIR
Navy Holds Motor Exhausts Could
Cause Explosions Over
Texas.

ApprehenSive that aviators literally
may set the skies afire, the Navy
photographic Ofice yesterday issued
warning to all airplane pilots that vast
quantities Of natural gas are being dis
charged into the atmosphere in the
Texas Panhandle. constituting an ex-
ploSion hazard.
Rear Admiral W. R. Gherardi, chief
of the Office stated in issuing the warm
ing that information has been received
that gasoline plants in the Panhandle
oil and gas field, located midway be-
tween Amarillo and Canadian and ex-
tending approximately As miles east
southeast and SIS miles west-northwest
of Pampa and White Deer, Tex, are
liberating a great quantity of natural
gas. 1t has been stated, he said. that
many plants liberate as much as
10000, 900 cubic feet of gas per day.
1T is possible" it was stated in the
warning to aviators, that the liberation
of this gas into the atmosphere may
create condition which would result
in an exposion caused by the exhaust
of aircraft motors. 1t is probable that
the hazard decreases with altitude"

FOUR RA|L-H|GHWAY|
PLANSARE OFFERED
Committee of Experts Repre-.
Senting 81 Countries At
tack Problems.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A committee of experts of the Inter
national Chamber of Commerce today
proposed that the rail-highway trans
portation competition problem could
be worked out either by leaving the
question to solve itself or by the estab-
lishment of monopolistic control.
The experts, who studied the prob
lens of 81 countries and whose per-
sonnet includes members from Great
Britain, France, Germany. Italy, Bel
gium, China and Switzerland, sug-
gested four means of settling the issue
between trucks and busses and the
railroads. The four proposals were:
The situation can be left to work
itself out under unrestricted competi-
tion. v.
"A combined monopoly of all land
transportation could be set up.
Two competitive monopolies, one
including all road transport, the other
all railway transport, could be created.
"A system of 'co-ordinated competi-
ton could be achieved through regu-
lation of both road and rail transpor
tation.
The advantages of simplifying the
problems of taxation for highway pur-
poses. the report said in discussing the
monopolistic form of control, would
be balanced against "the interference
with freedom OF commerce and the
lack of incentive to progress that would
result from monopoly of road trans
portation.
While the committee reached no con-
clusions. it was reported to incline to-
ward the co-ordInated monopoly sys-
tenn.
Beck Answers johnson.
Representative James M Beck, Re
publican of Pennsylvania, another speak
er answered criticisms of him by Gen
Hugh S. johnson, saying that he thought
it amazing" the American people had
suffered" as patiently as they had
under the threatening policies" of the
head of the N r. A.
The Pennsylvania Representative, pre-
siding officer at the dinner, charged
that under johnson and President
Roosevelt the morality of the Ameri-
can people had been debased; that
American courage seemed to be COM
pletely devalued, and the people seemed
to have forgotten the constitutional con-
ception of a Democratic government.
Beck said he was prompted to COM
ment on johnson because "one week
ago in this hall Johnson paid his re-
SpeCtS to me"
Recalls Ford Case.
Who can doubt what Gen. johnson
meant when he was trying to force
Henry Ford to accept the Blue Eagle,
by his remarks about economic death
as the penalty 50" he said What
did it mean except that Mr.. Ford
business was to be injured if not de-
StroyeG unless he signed a code which
concededly he was under no obliga-
ton to sign.
"All that saved Henry Ford from
lrreparable injury was the sense of fair
play, which still animateS the American
people"
thousand members of the Pennsyl-
vania Society heard Beck refer to Gen.
johnson as "the eminent general, who,
by delegated authority, is the economic
dictator of the United States"
Beck repeated the charge that the
N. R. A. was unconstitutional charge
which he has made since that body was
first organized.
