Rickenbacker Says Manufac-
turing Industry Should Have
Federal Support.

Pleading for Federal support of the
aircraft manufacturing industry be-
fore the National Recovery Administra-
ton. Capt. Eddie Rickenbacker. fore
most American war ace, yesterday
warned that the next war will begin
with an aerial battle, and it will end
with that first battle, so far as the
ultimate victory is concerned"
1t was pointed out that the United
States now stands fifth among the
aevsu world air powers and that the
-1ssy hope of safety is In the establish
ment of a strong aircraft manufactur-
Ing industry.
leighton w. Rogers, representing the
Aeronautical Chamber of Commerce,
stated the aircraft factories of the
country could turn out only rs military
airplanes during the first month after
declaration of war. and that seven
months must elapse before production
peak to 1000 planes a month.
Both he and Rickenbacker pointed
out that the only hope for carrying the
aircraft industry through the present
period of depression is an increase of
equipment for the military services or
an increase of air mail service En-
ploynent in the industry has decreased
from $4,000 in 1929 to $4,000 today.

Paul Endorsed For Office
 Of U. s. Fish Commissioner

William L. Paul, former leg islator and Indian leader, was endorsed recently by the Alas k a Seiners Association f Ketchikan for the position of United States Commissioner of Fisheries. Resolutions passed by the Association declared that Paul had been the spokes- man for the best interests of Alaska fishermen for several years and also attacked the acts and policies of the present Fish Commissioner, Henry O. Malley, charging among other things that he had favored non- residents.
 The Alaska Trollers Union of Ketchikan. refused to endorse Paul's candidacy on the ground that 1t did not feel called upon to endorse any political candi- date. The union also refused to recommend the retention of MT. O'Malley, as proposed by Seattle trollers, on the same ground.

THEY CALL 1T ADVERTISING

As an organization whose business in consid-
cradle part has to do with advertising, and also
with various other things which some people call
advertising, the News-Argus extends its sympathy
to Goldsboro merchants.
More firmly than ever before, it seems, men,
bers of the Merchants Bureau have pledged them
selves not to buy what somebody may wish to call
advertising until the advertising committee of
the Chamber of Commerce has passed on the
proposition.
We understand.
Many demand is made upon merchants in the
name of advertising" which is really call for
charity in support of some organization plan
whose supporters believe it meritorous We know.
They come to the paper often and ask for quanti-
ties of "advertising,'' when what they actually
want is quantities of free publicity to take the
place of advertising which should be paid for.
We admit frankly that usually give this pub
licity in some measure too. But don't give it
as advertising. We pay staff to do the work,
we pay for the costs of printing and distributing
these messages not as advertising but our sup
port of charity, our gifts to good causes.
Were such gifts totalled up, their dollar costs to
the News-Argus each year would run into-actuai-
ly-thousands and thousands of dollars.
We hope they are worth even more to those who
accept them, sometimes as matter of course,
sometimes very thankfully
But we don't call them advertising, not here.
Advertising pays its way.-The Goldsboro News
Argus.

DISMISSING SCHOOL

Congress, after relaxing for few NM
utes, settled down to the grind again. 1t
supposed that, after getting the most urg-
ent items out of the way, it had all summer
for the latter part of the presidents legis-
lative program. The slave-drivIng eXecu-
tive Laws down a time schedule. All the
bills necessary to complete the first big
batch of government plans must be cleaned
up before the economic conference meets
in London. The lawmakers groan YEARLY
and set to again.
1t is probably the first time congress ever
accepted timetable. At present, the SEN
ators and representatives are working by
the job or the piece. By next winter, the
president may have them punching time
clocks.
Crises crowd People suffer. There IS
need of hurry. 1t would be embarrassing,
too, if congress were still hanging around
when that London party starts. 1t is nat
ural that the president wants the party to
himself. 1t is also constitutional, however
grudgingly the senate may admit that fact.
Foreign negotiation is the right Of the eX-
ecutive. Neither house of congress has any
legal or traditional right to NEEDLE in the
early stages of foreign agreements. The
senate has it's inning later, when conclu-
sions are submitted for its approval.

DICKENS BOOM IN LONDON

Four popular London newspapers are
engaged i'm q circulation war which Is both
amusing and startling to people who have
considered the British free from such spec
tacular behavior. The Laborite Daily Her
aid began the fight by offering to give away
twenty-dollar sets of Dickens works for
three dollars plus a certain number of cou-
pons clipped from the paper AS The Her
AIDS circulation scared feverishly, three
other papers took up the battle. Instead OF
offering the works of some other author OF
some entirely different prize-as probably
would have been done in this country
they all offered Dickens. Their offers were
identical, although each of the three
claimed for its own that it ''eXcels'' in one
way or another, was "unrivaled," "eXclu-
sive and supreme" and so on.
London's other dailies, dignified and
conservative, are disguised with this I'M
seemly battle. The Weekly Spectator calls
it mot altogether edifying." 1t wonders
when they will scrap their crazy competi-
tons and stand or fall by their merits.
In the meantime, the printing presses
are enjoying a squirt of work such as they
have not had for many moon. They are
running night and day to meet the de-
mand.
Is it out of place for an American to ask
how it happens there are so many London
ers unsupplied with the works of Dickens?
And who will check up on whether the
sets are read after they are received?

EARNINGS OF THE NoVELIsTs

Few English novelists, even the most popular,
have left large fortunes and in this respect john
Galsworthy's $4,000 takes high place. In liter
airy circles however, many people expected his will
to be proved at higher figure not only because
of his great success as novelist and playwright,
but also because he was not entirely dependent
on his writings for living
With the outstanding exception of Sir Hail
Caine, who left quarter of million sterling, no
English novelist has left more than 100000. In
deed only or Two have exceeded the $4,000
of Charles Dickens, who was entirely dependent
on his own efforts-London Daily Telegraph.
