AIR LEGISLATION
HELD IMPERATIVE
Aviation Executives See End
of Mail Lines Unless
Congress Acts.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, August l1.-Ray-
mond w. Robbins, president of Trans
continental & Western Air, and E. r.
Breech. president of North American
Aviation Corp. said in interviews here
yesterday unless aviation legislation is
enacted by the next Congress air
transport and mail lines may be
forced to suspend operations next
year.
The executives expressed confidence
the Federal Aviation Commission ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt would
make recommendations by next Feb
ruary / which would save" the in
dustry.
Certainly nobody can make money
handling the airmail under conditions
as they are today" said Breech.
Many of the smaller lines. which find
financing difficult, may be forced to
close down entirely and abandon their
mail contracts within the next few
months unless conditions change.
I'VE have never sought subsidy
from the Government to handle the
airmail. All we have asked is the
actual postage on the mail We could
handle the airnail and still give the
Government some profit out of it.
"AS it is, airmail contracts are being
grossly abused by the Post ONCE De-
partment. Carriers are being forced
to carry poundage far beyond the
limits of their contracts on many
lines.
Profits in air transportation come
from long hauls and few stops. 1t
may be that we will be able to make
money if We do not handle the air
mail"
Reorganization of North American
Aviation, Transcontinental 81 West
ern Air, T. w. A, Inc; General Air
Lines, Eastern Air lines and others
is in prospect, the executives said, but
added no decision as to what form the
reorganization would take had been
reached. The executives conferred

ODD ART CAREER
OF KANE IS ENDED
Former House Painter Dies
Too Weak to Sign
Last Canvas.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PITTSBURGH. August 11.--An idle
ladder at the side OF half-painted
house. q partially-completed
painting on an easel.
The two--diverging ends of artistry
and a craft-mark the passing of IA
year-old John Kane.
This was the man who deserted the
ladder at the age Of So. to found q
new primitive" school of art.
Kane died yesterday in a Pittsburgh
hospital.
The partially-completed canvas. in
Kane's dying words, was the acme OF
the peculiar path along which his
trade led him; his last remark was a
wish that his feeble body still bore the
strength for him to varnish 1t and
add his name.
II is a monument to the man who
dared to desert an assured income to
seek a pasture for long-suppressed
abilities.
For 40 years before turning from
blank walls to receptive canvasses,
Kane vented his talents at his humble
home in the evenings. Then, in 1926,
he sent his first pictures to the Inter-
national Art Exhibition-to meet re-
lection. But in 1927, his Scene from
the Scottish Highlands" was accepted.
He exhibited in three successive In
ternationals and again in 1881; this
time by invitation. In the same period,
ne was represented in many other ex-
hibitions
Purchasers OF his works include

son Gallery OF American Art, and
many others. but Kane continued to
live In his meager house painters

DROUGHT |MPER|LS.
1885 KANSAS CROP.
Corn Harvest Is Tenth OF
NormaI-SubsoiI Is
Dried Out.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOPEKA. Kans.. August li.-Kan-
sas farmers. their crops hopelessly
ruined. are scanning the skies for
long due rain to replenish dwindling
water supplies and provide subsoil
moisture. lest next years crops also
perish.
The unprecedented drought, coupled
with the most intense heat the State
ever has experienced. has cut the corn
crop virtually to nothing after caus-
ing short wheat crop. 1t is one of
the few years in which both crops
yielded to drought.
Water shortages in various cities
have become acute and the city ofn-
cials in Emporia have put a "4-inch
bath" decree into effect.
Railroads Supply Water.
Railroads report increasing move
ments Of water. The Santa Fe Rail-
road at several points along its lines
is providing farmers and municipali-
ties with surplus water from its wells.
Surveys continue under Federal su-
pervision to locate underground sup
plies and dig new wells.
The Federal crop report yesterday
placed Kansas corn crop at 5,75O 900
bushels, the lowest in half a century.
and barely a tenth of a normal crop.
Hay crops are short and pastures in
most of the State are furnishing no
live stock feed. Distress selling Of
cattle is heavy.
Another result Of the drought is q
dwindling milk supply with producers
demanding higher prices In face Of
increased feed costs and lack Of water.
Egg production has dropped to near
Winter levels.
Farmers Haul Supply.
Many farmers put in long hours
hauling water to their cattle, an ex-
pensive, never-ending labor.
Early rains would tend to relieve
the situation materially by reviving
growth OF dying pastures and supply
ing long-needed soil moisture.
Then fields might be worked and
Fall crops sown In anticipation Of
next years harvest. FAN and Winter
pasturage might be provided. Late
garden truck might be planted and
the farm families themselves have
more to eat.
