development of certain practicable
principles which can readily be applied
to similar conditions when the Air
Corps is on the move"
The exercises are in addition to the
important test of the efficiency Of
modern anti-aircraft defense methods
now being made in the vicinity of Fort
Knox, KY, by 113 Army planes, 8
batteries of anti-aircraft artillery, q
signal company and troops Of the 5th
Corps Area.
The maneuvers, which are character

by DR.. A. G. Baron, of Brooklyn,
the National Catholic Women's
Union today was on record with
a resolution calling upon Catholic

OUT, IN; DOUBT
ABOUT CORS|

A discussion of the fate Of
Edward Corsi, immigration chief
in New York, arose at the press
conference yesterday with Secre-
tary Of Labor Perkins.
Secretary Perkins said the
status of Presidential appointeeS
under the merger Of the Bureaus
of Naturalization and 1mmigra-
ton was a disputed point.
Civil Service appointees, she
said, were automatically out and
had to be reappointed If retained.
Most presidential appointees, she
said, had resigned.
Corsi's resignation, however,
had been refused "for the pres
ent," Secretary Perkins said. His
appointed term has little more
than a year more to run. But
whether he would remain for the
entire period Miss Perkins de-
clined to say.

Of Al SMITH
Former Critic of Legislation
Changes Stand in Radio
Plea for Campaign

NEW YORK, Aug. % G.N.SO
Alfred E. Smith, who two months
ago was an outSpoken critic OF
the proposed recovery legislation
today was in the front rank OF
those enlisting America under
the Blue Eagle of the NRA.
Smith inaugurated a series of
radio speeches by prominent men
last night. He reaSsured those
who regard the movement with
foreboding by pointing out its
Limitations, he said:
do not forget that the
President has only a limited
congressional mandate, that
the whole machinery of the
national industrial recovery act
has less than two years to
operate under the law, that the
licensing power has less than
o year of life before it and, as
. matter of fact, up to this
time has not been used at all.
Threats, intimidation, com.
pulsiOn, bOycOtts, black lists
and suppression of opinion
were never contemplated by
the national industrial recovery
act and therefore have no
Fightful place in this picture"

Che planning and coordinating
committee of Is, provided in the

here today.
The President has been urged
by NRA officials to create the

mands for modification of the oil
code before it becomes effective
September 2.
Three oil experts in the Depart

The price-fixing and anti-price-
fixing groups were hoping that
Mr.. Roosevelt would modify the
code before it becomes effective.
It was believed, however, the
President will go even further into
the field of price control if he
makes any change before the
code takes effect.
