LINDBERCH NOT
 TO PARTICIPATE IN ONE PROJECT
He Will However H e 1 p Senate to Draft Airmail
 Legislation
BY RONALD G. VAN TINE

Washington. March i5-UP)- A new exchange between Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and the ad- ministration today marked the first steps of President Roosevelt's en- deavor to unify American land aviation under q single directing agency.
 Lindbergh relegraphed Secre- tary of War George H. Dern his refusal to serve on committee of inquiry on aviation matters. The committees findings are expected to be part of the groundwork of the new aviation fabric.
 Lindbergh said:
 T do not feel that l can serve on a committee whose function is to assist following out an execu- tive order to the Army to take over the commercial air mail sys- tenn of the United States"
 Regret at the flyers attitude was expressed by Dern who blamed 1t on a "misconception of the pur- poses of the committee on which l asked you to serve." He said the Armys air mail experience was only incidental to a broad study of Army air forces and their relation to national defense.
 His Second Affront
 It was Lindbergh's second brush with the administration over the hotly disputed air mail situation.

 DOG lSSTOLEN
Handsome Dan Was Stolen Some Time Last Night;
 Harvard Smiles

New Haven, Conn, March 15.- UP)-Handsome Dan II, Yale'S famous bulldog mascot, has been "kidnaped", it was announced at the university athletic office to- day.
 He disappeared from Ray Tomp- kins Memorial field house shortly after Il o'clock last night, police were told.
 Dan, 0 full-blooded English bull, was last seen proving about the field house. When it came time to lock up for the night, he had disappeared.
 At the field house at the time was a group of Harvard swimmers who had competed with the Yale varsity team earlier in the night. A few stayed over night while a number departed for Cambridge after spending an hour or more with their teammates and Yale friends.
 It was believed Dan might have been taken by the Harvard stu dents as joke.
 The mascot was purchased last year by the freshman class and took part in all Yale athletic ac- tivities. Before each football game he was walked around the field while the band blared stirring songs of Eli After being eX- hibited to admiring thousands, he took his place on the sidelines with coaches and players.

 The senate bill carried $118,253,- 700 in veterans benefits and a 15 per cent government pay increase estimated to cost $153,000,000.
 Despite the house compromise on the economy issues, the bill is still around $27,000,000 over the figure the White House had indicated would be acceptable. The question remains whether the senate will &C., cept the house changes.

(United Press Stan Correspondent) Athens, Greece, March 15-UP)- Samuel, Insull disappeared under thA noses of the Greek police today when they sought to arrest him for deportation.
 The director of police said Insull either had escaped or gone into hiding to avoid being deported.

 The Insult drama, rapidly ap- proadhing climax where Insull either had to take the Orient ex- press across Europe voluntarily or be elected forcibly, was heightened when police surrounded his hotel apartments.
 Their Quarry Gone
 Twenty officers, headed by the director, invaded his quarters and found their quarry gone. The hall porter and three other ser wants were arrested for questioning.
