insult KIDNAP
PLOT CHARGED
Magnate Fled Greece to
Escape Abduction,
Lawyers Say.
By United Press

~ CntbeG Pfe9S
ATHENS, March II. Charges of
bribery and of an American kidnap
plot brought bitter denominations
today as Samuel insult, frenzied
and railing at fate, approached
Piraeus, the port of Athens, in the
45-year- old freight steamship Maio-
tbs.
The little Maiotis seemed likely to
reach port before 7 p. m. moon, IN
dianapolis time).
insults lawyers, George Pop and
George Xiros, said that he was
obliged to flee Greece as he did to
avoid kidnapping by American detec-
tives, here to take him forcibly to
the legation in event that he did
not leave openly.
The lawyers seemed prepared for
a bitter fight to the last to prevent
insults open deportation by route
that would permit him to be
trapped with an extradition war
rant.
Newspapers openly charged brib-
cry of government officials. The
owners of the Maiotis, pressed by
the government for details of the
charter of the ship by the aged
utilities magnate, intimated strong
ly that M j. Mountsouridas, who
was dismissed yesterday as minister
of interior, acted as intermediary.
Thus, with ample funds appar-
emily available and two keen-witted
lawyers fighting for him, it was in
dicated that insult had a fighting
chance still to avoid, or to defer
his extradition to the United States
to face trial for fraud in connec-
ton with the collapse of his utili-
ties enterprises.

We in ireland are doing in NINA

But our problem has difficulties
of it's own. Since 1880 emigration
has virtually ceased. The stoppage
of immigration adding at least 40

BY substituting for a policy of
drift an active policy of economic

two years laid the foundations of
an economic system designed to

Our policy is already justified by

ahead with that policy we can
count on the moral support of all
friends of Ireland in the United

FACING SENATE
INQUIRY Today
Noted War Ace to Discuss
Proposed Air Mail
Legislation.
Bp United Press

By United Press
WASHINGTON, March II. -
Parade of Americas air aces before
the senate postoffice committee con-
tinued today with the scheduled
appearance of Colonel Eddie Rick
enbacker, war ace, to discuss pro-
posed air mail legislation.
Colonel Charles A Lindbergh and
Clarence Chamberlain were wit
nesses yesterday. They agreed on
several changes they thought should
be made in the administrations air
mail bill, and satisfied curioSities OF
hundreds of spectators who crowded
the hearing room.
Brigadier- General William Mitch
ell, former army air corps chief, IN
an earlier appearance urged govern
ment operation of all air mail
facilities.
Charges Unsafe Planes
Mr.. Chamberlin charged that
some airlines were buying from
affiliated manufacturing concerns
planes that he considered unsafe Tor
passenger operations. He mentioned
United Airlines and Eastern Air
Transport specifically.
Lindbergh sharply attacked the
administration for cancelling air
mail contracts without giving OPP
orators their day in court"
The youthful f1ier had to seek
police protection to prevent being
mobbed by scores of men and won1-
en- who tried to shake his hand.
Army Lacked Time
He told the committee the army
had failed in its mail-carrying OPP
erations because it did not have
sufficient time to prepare for the
task.
A new government venture in
aviation, designed to strengthen the
whole industry by discouraging big
profits and establish sound basis
for constructing safe planes, ap-
peared likely today in connection
with final work on the navy con-
struction bill.
The bill has passed both senate
and house. 1t seemed probable
that it would emerge from confer
ence Monday in a form that would
have decided effect on the whole
subject of aviation.
Builders Profits Disclosed
Principal conference debate has
centered on senate amendment
authorizing government construc-
ton of IS per cent of the more
than 1000 planes that will be built.
The amendment, sponsored by
Senator Homer T. Bone Dem,
Wash), was the result of disclos-
ures Of huge profits made by air.
plane manufacturing companies on
equipment sold the government
without competitive bidding.
1t was indicated that the final
version would contain provision for
manufacturing probably 10 per
cent of the planes by the govern
ment.
This arrangement would give the
government a system by which it
could gauge airplane manufacture
costs and determine whether it was
receiving true values.

Martin j. insult, former utility mag
