Baker Committees Report Stirs Official to Take

WASHINGTON, July 24.-Quick changes in the United States Army's air program is foreseen as the result of the Baker Commit tees report.
 The Administration is known to be in favor of development of the Nations air arm along the most modern lines.
 Chief of Staff Macarthur is now at work whipping together sug- gestions to land to President Roosevelt and Secretary of War Bern when they return here about the middle of August. They are expected to form the nucleus of the redrafted Air Corps program.
 One of the recommendations made by the Baker Committee, which included an Air Corps sec- end to none, called for all pilots averaging 300 flying hours each year instead of 150 to 200, and also frequent concentration of air units for training maneuvers at different seasons of the year in- clding cold weather flights in AL aSka.

Challenge to Reported De. lenders of Monopoly
 Hurled in Speech

ST. ANTHONY, Idaho, July 24 After paying a glowing tribute to the western pioneers who planted the seeds of The Empire, J United States Senator William E Borah hurled challenge to the defenders of monopoly" to fight in the open and he vehemently denounced their cause.
 When I discuss the question of monopoly I am accused of at tacking the New Deal by a critic who is unwilling or unable to meet the question of the present." Sen- ator Borah told his listeners at the annual Pioneer Day festivi- ties.
 Do these people contend that when person attacks monopoly he attacks the New Deal?
 :. 'Is monopoly and the New Deal one and the same thing?
 "The most insidious, the most successful enemy of the New Deal according to it's announced pur- poses, is this power of vast com binations of fix prices and rake off all gains which come to the farmer, producers or laborers.
 Defenders of monopoly will not be allowed to hide behind the New Deal. They must fight in the open said Senator Borah.

 Mid the efforts to prevent suf- fering in the damned cattle pens, officials are prepared to appeal for government aid.
