.P.MAY OPPOSE
CREDIT TO RUSSIA
Fish Questions Johnson on
Bill Barring War Debt
Defau|terS.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Attempts to arrange special credit
accommodations in this country for
the Soviet government may be op-
posed by a group Of House Republic
ans, It was indicated yesterday.
Representative Fish, Republican, of
New York, apparently reflected the
attitude of several colleagues in close
ly questioning Senator johnson, Re-
publican, Of California, on his bill to
bar debt-defaulting nations from SELL
ing obligations in this country. The
measure would exempt Russia under
the administrations new agency to
extend credit to the Soviet.
johnson acknowledged to Fish he
believed the object of an amendment
written in the bill by Senator Robin
son Of Arkansas, the majority leader,
was to meet the Russian situation.
The amendment would exempt "a
public corporation created by or pur-
suant to special authorization of Con-
gress, or a corporation in which the
Government of the United States has
or exercises a controlling interest
through stock ownership or other
wise"
johnson told the House Foreign
Affairs Committee that while he did
not advocate calling out the Army to
collect the war debts, he did think the
United States should tell defaulting
nations they could not get any more
credit here until they paid up.
Later Chairman McReynolds pre-
dicted the committee would approve
the johnson bill today and that the
House would act similarly. 1t already
has been approved by the Senate.
Before acting. however, the COM
mittee today was to hear Green H.
Hackworth. legal adviser to the Sec
retary Of State, and further question:
ing on the Russian angle was likely.

States would reach a peak In August
and then taper off toward the Winter
months.
Further allotments for road work, he
said, would depend upon the amount
of money which Congress appropriated
for public works.
The Secretary said he was opposed
to road work done under force &C
count whereby men are employed by
municipalities or political subdivisions
as opposed to a contract system.
This force account method usually
means they have a political machine
or want one formed" Ickes said He
also described the method as more
expensive.

HOLLYWOOD, March 14.-Holly-
woods alleged practice of casting
Mexicans, Hawaiians, Arabs, Negroes

motion pictures has put on the war
path Chief Many Treaties, 6-foot

Tribes of Oklahoma.
Said Chief Many Treaties today:
This business of motion picture

waiians, Arabs, Negroes and Chinese
as American Indians in their produc-
tions has got to stop.
Its getting SO the 500 real In
dianS of the film city can't get q

The chief revealed he and Thorpe
have asked of Sol Rosenblatt, national
recovery administrator for the mo-
ton picture code, If the Indians
couldn't be organized as separate
unit under the code to insure them
equal representation with other races
in Hollywood
And if that appeal doesn't bring
results, We are going straight to the
President" Chief Many Treaties as
serted.
Motion picture producers explained
they employ Mexicans, Hawaiians and
other dark-skinned races to portray
Indian roles because the average In
dian living here docs not look like
the Indian the motion picture public
expects to see"
Most local Indians" one producer
explained, "are small in stature. while
the film audience likes his Indian tall,

Collusion Denied

In the cases of Boeing Air
transport, Inc. corporation;
National Air Transport, Inc, a
corporation; Pacific Air Trans
port, Inc, a corporation; Varney
Air Lines, Inc, and Boeing
Transport, Inc, VS. Farley, Equity
Nos. 57040, 57041, 57042 and 57O43,
the bills of complaint were filed
in which the plaintiffs purportedly
sue James A. Farley, designated
Postmaster General of the United
States, as an individual. The bill
OF complaint admits that Farley
is and has been since March 4,
1888 the Postmaster General, and
states that it is sought to re-
strain him from doing acts pur-
portedly as Postmaster General,
which are not within his powers
and which, if done, would not be
official acts of the Government.
Particularly the plaintiffs allege
that the order of the defendant,
dated February 9, 1884, is illegal
and void because beyond his au-
thority. Plaintiffs contend said
order is unconstitutional and in
contravention of the Fifth Amend
ment.
The bills Of complaint allege
that plaintiffs became contractors
with the United States for carry
ing mail. Plaintiffs state that
the contracts were not awarded
by fraud, collision or illegal
means, nor did the plaintiffs or
persons through whom they derive
title enter into any combination
to prevent the making of a bid
for carrying the mail, or promise
to give any consideration to any
person not to bid. The plaintiffs
contends that they have satisfac-
torily performed the contracts.

Gases Dismissed

After hearing the above motions
to dismiss Mr.. Justice Daniel W..
O'Donoghue rendered the follow
ing opinion from the bench, say
ing: THE Court will sustain the
motion to dismiss in each of these
four cases, on the ground, first,
that the suits are essentially suits
against the United States Govern
ment; second, that they involve
the handling of the mails, and
therefore involve the property of
the United States, and that the
plaintiffs, if they have been dam
aged, have a remedy by suit in the
Court of Claims.
The Court does not consider
that there has been any act done
which violates the due process of
law clause in the Constitution
and, finally, the Court is of opin'
ion that in so far as this statute
Section 1850 of the Revised
Statutes Of the United States, may
impose any pains and penalties,
that matter is not properly before
the Court because the facts al,
legged would have to show that a
contract had been sought by the
plaintiff and refused by the Gov
eminent of the United States,
without any Justification or other
excuse"
The plaintiffs were represented
by William j. Donovan, while the
Government appeared by David A.
Pine and John w. FINELY, assist
ant United States attorneys and
Carl L. Ristine, special assistant
to the Attorney General.

Cities 1925 Air Mail Act

The bills of complaint further
allege that the air mail act of Feb.
ruary 2, 1925, gave the Postmaster
General the authority to make
contracts for the carriage of mail,
limiting the contracts to period
of four years and the contractors
to a remuneration not to exceed
four-fifths of the revenue OBJ
tanned. Plaintiffs set forth in the
bills that on April II, 1928. the
Kelly act was passed, providing
that the Postmaster General upon
the surrender of an air mail con.
tract by a contractor who had
satisfactorily performed the serv
ices, could issue in substitution an
air mail route certificate, which
certificate was to provide that for
a period not to exceed 10 years
the holder should have the right
to carry air mail over the route
named in the certificate so long
as he complied with the rules, reg.
ulations, etc. The rate Of compen.
sation was to be determined by
negotiations between the certifi-
cate holder and the Postmaster
General, but was not to exceed
the rate provided in the original
contract. It is stated that this
act also provided that such Ger.
tificates could be cancelled for
wilful neglect, and that notice OF
such cancellation should be given
in writing and an opportunity at.
forded the holder of the certifi
cate to answer. 1t IS further
stated in the bills that on April
90, 1880, the Waters act was
passed, which permitted the Post.
master General to fix the rate OF
compensation. but not to exceed
SIPS per mile.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-06-08
Authority Sustained

The sole specific act complained
of by the plaintiffs is defendants
order annulling the air mail con-
tract of plaintiffs, and the de-
PENDANTS act in not delivering
mail for carriage. The plaintiffs
charge that this act was beyond
his powers and authority, is illegal
and void, and was capriciouS and
arbitrary. Aside from the general
authority reposed in defendant as
Postmaster General to superin.
tend the business of the Post Of
flee Department, as head thereof,
as above set forth, he also has
express statutory authority for
this particular act, and referred
to this express authority in his
order Of annulment. The author.
ity is Section 1850 r. S. or Sec
ton 432, Title 80, U. S. c., read
ing as follows:
"Sec. 432. Combinations to pre-
vent bids. No contract for carry
ing the mail shall be made with
any person who has entered, or
proposed to enter, into any COM
bination to prevent the making
of any bid for carrying the mali,
or who has made any agreement,
or given or performed, or prom
Used to give or perform. any con-
sideration whatever to induce any
other person not to bid for any
such contract; and if any person
so offending is a contractor for
carrying the mail, his contract
may be annulled; and for the first
offenSe the person so offending
shall be disqualified to contract
for carrying the mail for five
years, and for the second offense
shall be forever disqualified. Or.
S. Sec. 3950O"
The plaintiffs contend that this
section does not relate to the
paper writing designated as a
route certificate because it is not
a contract. An examination Of
this certificate attached to the
bills Of complaint discloses that,
irrespective of it's designation, it
is nevertheless a contract entered
into between the United States
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-06-08

and the plaintiffs, being signed
by the Postmaster General for the
United States and accepted by the
plaintiffs by their proper officers.
Such an argument is almost as
trite as saying that if the paper
were designated an agreement"
this statute would not apply, be-
cause it uses the word contract"
A determination of whether any
person offends against this statute
is matter of judgment and dis.
erection lodged with the Postmas,
ter General, and the courts have
repeatedly held that they will not
interfere with the exercise of such
executive discretion expressly con,
ferred by statute, but will interfere
only where the matter is minis.
terial or where the discretion is
arbitrarily or capriciously exer.
cised.

No Diversity in Rulings

It is true that in the earlier
case of Philadelphia Co. v. Slim
son, 223 U. S. COS, the court used
language which, without a state
ment of the facts, might indicate
a different rule from that lat
terly announced in Wells v. Ro-
per, supra, but when the facts in
the case of Philadelphia Co. v.
Stimson, supra, are considered, 1t
is clear that there is no diversity
between the opinions, because in
the Stimson case the charge was
that the Secretary of War and
other officers Of the War Depart
ment were in effect committing
a trespass upon plaintiffs prop
erty and were threatening to
prosecute criminal action in con-
nection Herewith in relation to
fixing a harbor line near Pitts
burgh; and Of course the court
held that the exemption OF the
United States from suit, except
where it consents to be sued, does
not give the officer immunity
from injunctive process under
such circumstances. And this
distinction between the cases was
recognized in the case of Goltra
v. Weeks, 271 U. S. 500, where
the plaintiff sought to enjoin the
seizure of a fleet of tow boats
by the Secretary of War and
Army officers who were charged
to be engaged in a conspiracy to
deprive him of the boats, which
belonged to him under a lease
from the Government. The SUI
preme Court held that the Slim
son case and the Roper case were
clearly distinguishable, on the
ground that the Stimson case
sought to restrain a "trespasS
upon the property of the plain
tiff" whereas in the Roper case

thereby acquired vested right to
carry mail on said route and re-
ceive the compensation specified.
Plaintiffs state that on Feb.
uary 9, 1884, without notice or
opportunity for hearing, the de-
PENDANT, purporting to act as
Postmaster General, but in reality
acting individually, arbitrarily
and without adequate examina-
ton of the facts, without legal
authority, issued an order pur-
porting to cancel the route GER
tificate aforementioned. Plain
tiffs state that the order in ques-
ton read: Pursuant to the
authority vested in me by Section
1850 Revised Statutes . and
by virtue of the general powers Of
the Postmaster General, it is or
dered that the following air-maiI
contracts be and the same are
hereby annulled, effective mid
night, February 10, 1884 ="
Plaintiffs state in conclusion
that the defendant is attempting
to carry out the aforementioned
order of February 9, 1884, al
though plaintiffs have filed pro-
test with the Postmaster General
stating, among other things, that
it at no time had entered into the
combination and agreement sug-
gested by reference to Section
1850 R. S. Plaintiffs state finally
that the defendant intends to pre-.
vent it from bidding on air-mail
contracts for a period of five
years.
