THOUSAND VETS
 STILL IN FRANCE
More Than Half That Nulh= Der Now Reside in
 Greater Paris

Paris (UP) Feb 17.-Fifteen years after the last gun of the World War was fired finds HOO veterans of the American Expeditionary Fore es voluntary exiles in Franuce.
 In the majority Of cases, the cause is -Americani mar riage. Tn 1931," said Henry w. Dunning. of the Department of Frfance, commander of the Amer ican Legion, "the number of A F. F. men domiciled in France was 1,700.
 More than half of the HOO vet erans now living in France are in Greater Paris, while the balance is scattered over all of France in 49 departments. During 1888, more than 200 veterans were sent home by the American Aid society,""
 Only a few of the veterans in France are bachelors; still fewer are widowers; but the vast major ity are married to French wives and have Franco-American chill dren. Tho average A. ". F. family inNFrance has four members. No official figures exist as to how these veterans earn their liveli- hood, but American Legion officers make the following estimate:
 Five per cent live on their in comes; 10 per cent are in business for themselves; 10 per cent are professional men; 25 per cent do office work; 25 per cent have trades (including farming); the remaining x25 per cent are un- skilled, or without work. To make all A. E. r. veterans self-support- ing, or to send them back. to Amer. ica, is the present important plank in the welfare program of the American Legion in France.

 Along with the cultivation of his homestead Mir Henry undertook the care of the young church in the town. Competition was keen especially during the first summer. Several saloons bid for the trade of the men on the construction gangs Of the two rival railroads whose local headquarters were both then in Plentywood. Braw1s and mur- ders made the nights fideous. The "parson' inveighed against drink" On his homestead the buildings were twice laid low by cyclones. A runaway team of bronchos was an- other threat to hiss life. His sur- vival was marvel to his neighbors.
 Preaching took more and more time from homesteading. Church services were started in country school houses and in nearby towns. The population rapidly grew as new land was opened for settIe- ment. The Indian and the cow boy were gradually being replaced. At the end of four years Mir Henry was ministering to parish thirty by fifty miles. He also had several preaching places "a hundred miles to the west where he went by auto. In all he had regular preaching ap- pointments at twenty places al seven of which were organized churches and at ten were Sunday schools.
 From Plentywood, Mir Henry moved to Glasgow, Mont, to organ ize another larger parish" Two years later he was appointed mis- sionary superintendent for north- ern and western Montana. In 1928 he became yice-president of tho Polytechnic Institute. Congrega- tiona1 college at Billings, Mont. Tn preparation for taking this posi- tion he made a tour of western southern Europe and of the Holy Land. Subsequently he lectured on education and travel frequently in the city and country high schools of Montana and stumped the state for prohibition.
 Tn 1930 he came east to do edi- torial work and speaking and last year was elected associate secre- tary of the Congregational and Christian church extension boards.
 A graduate of Grinnell college, Iowa, MT Henry studied afterwards at Columbia university and Union Theological seminary in New York city and then graduated from Chi cago Theological seminary.

 As Black tells the story upon himself, the occasion was q dinner in the White House state dinner room. The famous gold service was in use. The governor started to stick one of the golden spoons in his pocket, he said, but was stopped by Miss Margaret Lehand. alert presidential secretary.
 Remember back few days ago when representatives Joseph w. Byrnes and Hamilton Fish, Jr., noarly got into n fist fight on the floor of the house during an argu- ment about putting Col. Charles A. Lindberghs airmail protest in the Congress Record?

bid of the Transcontinental Air Transport, Inc, and Western Air Express was accepted by the post master general
 According to do c u m entary proof and sworn evidence" he said "this high bidder was an amal- gamation of companies selected by the group of operators and the postmaster general, to receive this contract, long previous to it's advertised for bids.
 "If the government had awarded this bid to the low bidder, it would have saved the taxpayers $S35,215 per year.
 Black charged that under the program adopted at the conference. which he said, was held in a room adjacent to Browns office, "pion- ger operators were either forced to sell out to the favored companies, or they were squeezed out of exis- tence by the subsidized competi- ton of the favored company re- ceiving the mail contract.
 Farley's cancellation order he said, will not retard aviation's orderly progress. It will accelerate it. It will not close the airports Vt will not stop the carriage of mail" M
 "A reorganized industry" he added, with honest stock capitali- zation: Fair profits; contracts that are just; and controlled by opera tors instead of speculators is tthe way to succeed in aviation"
 New York, Feb. 17-UP)-Un- successful in his first attempt to enjoin the government from carry ing out the annulment of air-inail contracts, counsel for the Trans continental and Western Air, Inc. indicated today that the fight would go on.
 John Thomas Smith, who rep resented the air line in the futile action before Federal John c. Knox, hinted that a new action might be instituted in Washing ton.
 Judge Knox, in denying the TWAS motion for an injunction restraining Postmaster c neral James A. Farley from putting into effect the contract annulipent or der, ruled he had no jurNdiction in the case.
 Salt Lake City, Utah, Feb. IT, (UP)--The U. s. Armys first fata- lities in it's new job of carrying air mail were recorded today with the deaths of two military pilots whose plane crashed during blinding snowstorm in the hills near Oakle, Utah.

 Grenier and White had left here yesterday for Cheyenne, Wyo., where they were to begin assign ments next week to fly the air mail.
 Linden, N. J., Feb. 17-(UP)- Lieut., Joseph w. Kelly, army pilot scheduled to fly the mails when President Roosevelt's cancellation of air mail contract goes into ef- feet Monday, escaped injury last night when he ran out of fuel and made forced landing in wooded secion.
