PLANES FOR Army
Says It Is Beyond Any Sane
Estimate Of Nations
Defense Needs

Washington. March l.-(R-Secre-
tary Dern smacked a beyond any
sane estimate" label Thursday across
congressional plans for q wide expan-
sion Of army aviation.
The war department and its one
time traditional ally. the house mill
tary affairs committee. thereupon
broke off friendly relations. The
committee promptly prepared q
comeback Of its own.
Dern singled out for attack two bills
introduced by Chairman McSwain,
one Of which would give the army f.
384 new planes. In q statement to
the committee he termed them "one-
sided" partisan" and "even prompt
ed by self-interest."
1.-THE first Of these two bills" he
said, would provide an air force so
far beyond any sane estimate OF our
defensive needs, and so costly, that
its passage could be construed by the
world only an evidence either OF ard
emit u1ilitarism, or immediate war"
McSWain forthwith invited the war
secretary to come up and tell his COM
mittee about it. He added:
THE committee has several times
requested Secretary Dern to appear
before 1t and explain his attitude, but
he has never come. We are still ready
to have him appear at his conven-
ience."

SPEECH TO NATION
Executive Will Address Groups
Assembled IN Washington
to Criticize NRA

Washington, March 1.-(P-Presi-
dent Roosevelt will disclose his plans
for MIRA In . personal appearance
Monday before the group meetings
called by administrator johnson to
hear complaints.
This was made known Thursday as
criticism was received from q large
number Of persons who came here at
the invitation Of johnson to air their
views. The speech will be broadcast.
The battering Of the assembled COM
plainants, invited by Hugh 8. John
son to say their worst In an open
forum, went right ahead.
Officials showed the strain as wit
ness followed witness to complain
that code hours were being stretched
out Of all meaning: that wage levels
were being reduced by various devices:
that industrialists, by intimidation,
espionage and other means are crush-
ing unionization: and-worst Of all
that complaints without end had been
made to MIRA with almost negligible
response.
NRA industrial assistants conceded
that the testimony already gathered
left no room for doubt that wide
abuses existed, though they would not
quite agree with one witness, Gerald
Smith Of Louisiana, who shouted that
18th amendment violations "were .
Sunday school picnic compared to the
violation Of the national industrial
recovery acs."

 The fact was brought out at this time that the Columbia & Northern properties, which were bid in by the city for delinquent taxes, were now owned by the city, and that one or two inquiries had been received by prospective buyers but nothing de- finite had been offered.
 Gymnasium Privileges Refused
 An application from a group of young men to use the school gym nasium for basketball practice was refused on the grounds that last year a similar group had violated the verbal contract They had been given permission to have free use of the gym for practice with the understanding that they pay $10 rent for public games with paid ad- missions, but in not one instance did they pay the rent following such games.
 Water Rates in Beer Parlors
 Following discussion of the in equality of water rates, it was brought out that pool rooms which have added beer parlors to their business are paying but $2 per month for water service, in con- trast to the s6 rate for restaurants. Each place of business has wash rooms with basins and toilet fix lures besides the faucets of water behind the counters. The matter was left to the water committee to investigate and recommend a re- vised rate at the December meet ing.
 The question of sanitary regula- tions for beer parlors was dis cussed and referred to the health and police department.
 In the matter of the payment of light service outside the city limits, the council voted that such users must pay their bills within 30 days. Residents within the city limits are still allowed 90 days be- fore water or light service is cut off by the city for the reason that their property may be held for pay ment of such service while the city has no jurisdiction over property outside the incorporated limits.
