Objections Expected.
Several officials expect objections to
this procedure from erstwhile con-
tract holders About a dozen such
concerns already have filed petitions
for hearings on the fraud charges
which prefaced the wholesale cancel
lation.
Col Eddie Rickenbacker, an avia-
ton official, said soon after President
Roosevelt and his aides completed ar
rangements yesterday for returning
the airmail to private hands that the
rebidding proposal was a sham" He
added:
"If they expect all executives to
resign who attended the so-called
'collusive meeting the 1880 airmail
conference on which collusion charges
are basedD, and the like, they would
separate from the industry the only
men who are qualified to operate it."
Attorney General Cummings, fol-
lowing yesterdays White House con-
ference, told newsmen it was felt the
administration had sufficient legal
backing for asking new bids without
waiting for enactment of the new
legislation.
Before his departure. Mr.. Roosevelt
signed the temporary airmail bill
which provides funds for Army trans
portation of the mails.
