Farley had complained he was un.

Farley, in his litter to Moses, wrote.

U. S. Succeeds in Turning
Back Attack on constitu-

~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The Government succeeded In the
eupreme Court in turning back IN
attack On the constitutionality Of the
cancellation Of airmau contracts last
February.
The Transcortinental b Western
Air, Inc, contract to carry mail for the
Post Once Department was among
those cancelled By Postmaster General
Farley during the Senate airmail In
vestigation.
The company asked Q decision on
whether agreements may be set aside
by an impatient o6lcial" and whether
the courts viii protect 1t from the
spoilatiye hand"
Unless the courts protect contract
rights, 1t added. prudent men win
shrink from dealing with their Gov
ernment."
The court today refused to review
. case brought BY Transcontinental
4 Western. Air, Inc. Lower courts
had held It must Be dismissed be-
cause the Government could not be
sued without it. consent. Their de-
cision stands.
Meanwhile the Presidents Aviation
Commission was told by David L.
Behncke, president Of the Airline
Pilots Association, that Q meeting Of
the Independent Operator8' Associa.
tion had been held In Kansas City
to discuss ways and means Of vio-
lating the new airmaiI hw.s
Behncke listed six airlines which
he said were violating the pay scales
for pilots that were laid down BY the
National Labor Board. Behncke said
the contract Of Long 4 Harmon, op-
orators Of IN aiYmatl route between
BrownSville and Amarillo. Tex. should
Be Cancelled because u such practices.
he said this company had discharged
pilots who Refused TO become CO.

Others who he said had followed
similar practices, although he said
they had mot discharged any regular
pilots, were Pacific 9eahoard Air
Lines, Inc; Barniff Airways, Inc;
Central Air Lines, Delta Air Corp.
and varney Lines.
Behncke said 'the recent cancella-
Hon Of airmail contracts would not
have been necessary had there been

industry, and told the commiaston
that another cancellation was pos

removed from the industry.
Behnke said the Interstate Com

Some OF the big shots on the
larger code authorities receire up
to $4,000 year for their cods

are paid BY the tndsstTtes and the
Government has nothing to do With
them.
This system u certainly an over
looked item Of unemployment relief,
but lately there has been considerable
uneasiness among the soft Job hold
ers. It seems that the industries
have shown . certain reluctance to
chip In for support Of the code au-
thorities since Gen. johnson resigned.
Not because they pine for the gen.
eral, particularly, but they do not
know where the reorganization Of the

For instance, one large code au-
