 sThe earth has received many such visitors" he said. ''and In time will receive many more."

ROBOT BOMBERS
 WAR VISION

Detroit-fUP)-Formations of 20 to 30 radio-controiied airplanes, carrying tons of explosives, will at- tack the cities of enemy countries in future wars, in the opinion of Brig Gen William Mitchell, former chief of the army air service.
 Mitchell drew a graphic word picture of an invading aerial ar- mada.
 Radio beams and gyroscopic robot pilots win hold the planes on their course," he said. "Tbe planes will fly s5,oo0 feet above the land or ocean,"
 The former air chief said the ''robot" fliers would drop winged bombs equipped with gyroscopic directional control. The bombs will be aimed with a high degree of accuracy by automatic rangc-find. ing equipment. he declared.
 Expressing the opinion that such an attack would be almost im- mune from counter-attack, Mitchell said defensive planes would not be able to locate the at- attitudes.
 A single department of national defense would enable the United States to prepare for such attacks. the former army official believes. He advocated a revised method of supervising civilian aeronautics.

FORUM To AIR
j. s. WORKERS
PROBLEMS
New Cost of Living Schedule
Will Be Chief Topic
of Discussion

All local unions included in the
District Of Columbia Federation
of Federal Employees will par
ticipate this season in the federal
employees forum, originated and
managed by Ulrey j. Biller,
seventh vice president the ma
tional federation, and initially
sponsor ID by Local Union No. q,
which is the largest of the unions
in the District.
The program for the coming
season will comprise mainly dis
cuSsion of legislative and admin
istrative policies, with the new
cost of living schedule set as the
topic TO be taken up at next Fri
day evenings meeting. The forum
meets at h doquarters of the Dis
trict Federation, ITO Fourteenth
st. N. ".
New Index Better
The new cost of living index it
is expected, will be much more
satisfactory than the one hitherto
in use, for the reason that it will
be based primarily on the needs
of federal employees in Washing
ton. The old index was not based
on budgets of government work
ers, and went seriously aWry when
attempts were made to apply it
to their specific requirements.
The old budget, it is said, was
worked out primarily for other
groups of employees, in whose af-
fairs the fixed charges so impor-
tant to local federal employees
were of minor consequence.
Stewart Saw Need
When Ethelbert Stewart was
commissioner of labor statistics
some years ago, he pointed out
numerous DEFICIENCIES in the
method of working out budget
figures and cost of living index
figures then in use in the bureau,
but his recommendations were
not adopted.
When Frances erkinS became
Secretary of Labor, however,
prompt recognition of the need
of a chal4se in the figures came
about, end when DR.. Isidore Lubin
was appointed head of the bureau
steps were taken at once to work
out statistics that would fairly
represent the needs of govern
ment employees.

CONSERVATORS
UP To COURT
BY International News Service

nv AnternaIIOnal news service
Another New Deal" case, in
Volving constitutionality of the
appointment of conservators in
stead of receivers for closed
banks, was under Amusement by
the Supreme Court today.
Hunter A. Gibbes protested that
appointment of a conservator by
the governor of South Carolina
for a bank in which he was a
stakeholder violated the Federal
Constitution. Keeping the bank
open for limited business bases
on new deposits, he contended,
tended to deplete the assets of
the bank.
The State law was enacted
after the national bank holiday
last March, and is similar to the
conservatorship plan for national
banks.
Counsel for the State argued
the law is valid and claimed the
State could exercise its police
power to handle banks for the
benefit of all people in the State.

Appreciation

AS stimulus to morale in the

of that body are keeping members
informed as to the appreciation
work of the organization receives.
It is felt that employees will be
more interested in their work
work through the realization that
it is recognized as highly valuable
by the persons and agencies the
Commission serves.
One letter which has been dis
tributed in mimeographed form
to the staff commends highly tn
treatment accorded a disabled wa
veteran, both in his letters to tn
Commission and on the occaSio
of a personal visit. The veteran
incidentally, wrote that he il
tended to send copies of his lette
of appreciation TO several meR
bers of Congress and to the Ma.
tional Commander of the Amera
can Legion.
Another communication to the
staff quotes a recent issue of the

States Forest Service, in which
the following tribute is paid:

APOLOGIZE
BY International News Service

Demanding an apology to the
Republican party for the attack
by Everett Sanders, G. o. P. ma
tional chairman, on the Roosevelt
administration, Prof. Albert Lev
lit, of Connecticut, today de-
nounced the Sanders broadside
as "unbelievably stupid" and its
publication as "a serious, tactical
error"
The professor, a Republican, is
a special assistant to the Attor
ney General and formerly held
the post of professor of law at
Washington and Lee University.
The Sanders attack was con-
tanned in a pamphlet entitled
Lets Look at the Record"
which, Prof. Levitt said, rep
resented the ultimate in "polit-
ical ineptitude" when "a Demo
cratic President is trying to ex-
tricate the nation from evils
which were produced, in part at
least, by false and selfish ad-
viSers to Republican President"
