1t was Just an informal associa-
ton of poor boys weeping on each

Braniff said he had constantly
sought an opportunity to bid on an
airmail contract but had never been
able to do so.
Did you seek cancellation on ex-
isting contracts?" Senator Austin
asked.
We had the conviction that many
OF the extensions which had been let
by the Postmaster General were il
legally let and should be terminated
and those routes thrown open to COM
petitive bidding" he replied.
Postal Officials Surprised.
Despite the Injunction monkey
wrench tossed into the Government S
airmail machinery this morning, the
Post Office Department said it would
go right ahead with its plans to re-
turn the mails to private lines
Postal officials had been taken by
surprise when the four aviation COM
panies. all subsidiaries OF United Air
craft & Transport, Inc, announced
| the beginning of the injunction &C
tions.
Harllee Branch, second Assistant
Postmaster General in charge of air
| mail, said:
From what We can learn, there
is nothing in these suits to deter us
| from receiving the (new) bids ano
awarding contracts"
William J. Donovan, counsel for the
lines. charged in a resume of his con-
tentions that Farley arbitrarily and
| in manner contrary to law Cancelled
the contracts of these companies with
out giving them any notice or oppor-
tunity to present the true facts"
Farley had no immediate comment
| on the action. Branch, however, said
| it had been his understanding that
the parent United Co. had planned
to reorganize and bid for new tenn

There were reports from Capitol

WAR EXCHANGE ASKED

ASUNCION, Paraguay, April 18 Cp)
New moves to induce Paraguay to
return Bolivian prisoners who are
wounded or sick were reported today.
Government officials, however, said
the only step had been instructions to
the Minister to Argentina to negotiate
through the Pope's representative in
Buenos Aires for payment of overdue
wages Bolivia owes the prisoners and
arrange for delivery of food and
clotheSr them.
Both Bolivia and Paraguay in
February accepted the Holy Sees offer
to effect the exchange of wounded
prisoners.

Meanwhile, Senator Glass, Democrat,
of Virginia, and Eugene Black, gov
ern of the Federal Reserve Board, are
ready to talk over at the White House
a bill providing for five year loans
direct by the Federal Reserve Board
to growing industries" They have
reached an agreement on this bill and
Mr.. Roosevelt wants it.
Opposition appeared a little too
strong yesterday for action at this
session on the anti-lobbying legisla-
ton which has the backing of the
President. Vice President Garner's
vote broke tie and permitted the
Borah measure restricting law practice

The best news about it is that II
assumes there will be no further need
for strong business stimulants. Nc
more hypodermicS.
Specifically, the administration has
no inside data on Summer business
expectations.
We are now at the probable peak OF
Spring production. We are bound to
get a seasonal moderation, beginning
IN May. For instance, the automobile
industry hit new high output fol-
last week, but its confidential sched-
ules indicate that 1t is watching con-
sumer demand very closely. The big
wigs of the industry say frankly, in
private, that they will produce only
enough to satisfy the market. that
they are not going to stock up with
cars.
In that case (Which is representa-
tive). it is impossible to estimate how
far production will decline.
Industrial recessions piA be met,
In part, by acceleration OF the
home building, p. w. A. and pri-
Uate building programs, but no
sensible person pill try to guess
hol0 much.
There are good reasons for be-
lieving that the Summer recession
will be less than seasonal, but that
IS as much predicting as can be
done now.
There is some inside talk about
switching Commerce Secretary Roper
to Postmaster General Farley's Job
and letting Farley handle the Demo-
cratic National Committee, but moth
ing definite has been done about it.
At a dinner here recently, attended
by nearly every one who amounts to
anything in Washington, ex-senator
Jim Reed received a bigger hand than
most Of the active practicing states
men.
Some of President Roosevelt's as
sociates wanted him to make a radio
speech Sunday night so badly that
they tentatively reserved time for him
on the air. The liberals, who are dis
satisfied with the way the stock mar
ket bill has been torn apart, are being
blamed for it, although they deny it.
Apparently Mr.. Roosevelt did not want
to be rushed into anything.

TEXTILE STRIKE
 MAY END MONDAY

 German immediately retorted that Sloan "has done many almost incredible things in the course of this dispute. Up to, this hour he has not done one thing to cooper ate with ny governmental agency"
 He declared that Sloan had "at- tempted to say too much" and that the union had closed the mills and would be the agency which would open them when the strike was over and not before.
 In spite of the heated exchange it was felt likely that agreement by both sides to end the conflict which has cost 15 lives and incal- culable sums in wages and loss of buiness would be forthcoming.
 Sentiment in union circles was highly favorable to the Winant report. Leaders said privately that they believed it was an eminently fair statement of the facts of the dispute. If industry agreed to abide by it's recommendations, they believed a lasting peace could result.
 Some were disappointed that the board had not recommended gen. eral collective bargaining contract between the union and the indus try. There was little disagreement about other clements of the plan, however.
 The reaction of the industry was not so unanimous. A number of mill owners interpreted the presi- dents statement of hope that the strikew ould be ended to mean that they should resume operations ir1l- mediately.
 Many North Carolina mill own CTS said they would seek to re-start their looms today, although Sat- urday is not an operating day un- der ordinary conditions. Union leaders said they would continue to picket such plants and try to halt resumption of work until off, cial orders to end the strike were issued.
 There were fears that new vio- lent outbreaks might occur at mills trying to open up under these conditions.
 Tension was noticeably lei s throughout the strike areas. In the south predictions were that nation al guard units which have patrolled Georgia and the Carolinas soon would be demobilized. In New England feeling was general among millhands that they would be back at their looms by Monday.
