Of all domestic air mail con-
tracts, they will Sympathize
with the recent appeal of their
militant war ace which so
angered Senator McKellar Of
Tennessee.
This appeal was made before
the Senate PoStoffice Commit
tee, Of which Senator McKellsr
Is chairman. It was made by
Captain Eddie Rickenbacker
and was to this effect:
That the Administration purge
it's councils of those so-cGlled
GdOisors sUhO instigGted the can.
csllGtiOn of all domestic air
nlGil contracts Without giving
the holders of those contracts
their day in court, GUhich is the
biTthright Of eUery loyal Ameri-
can.
Repeated Warnings
It is not surprising that this
appeal should have provoked
the ire Of Senator McKellar.
He shares with Senator Black
Of Alabama, according to gen.
eral belief, the unenviable re-
sponsibility Of urging upon the
Administration the mistaken
course it took.
But the urgings Of Senator
McKellar and Senator Black
probably would not have pre-
vailed had they not been aided
and abetted by Secretary
Roper's wrecking crew in the
aeronauticS branch Of the De
partment Of Commerce and by
the politicians Of the Postoffice
Department.
Both Congress and the Ad.
miniStration were given re-
peated warnings in this and
other newspapers many months
ago that the debauching Of the
AeronauticS branch to the
Sordid purposes Of partisan pol
iticS and personal publicity
would ultimately result in in
calculable damage to American
air transport, to the Federal air.
mail, and to commercial aero
nautics generally.
It was the disruption of the
aeronautics branch which be-
gan last summer and continued
through the autumn and winter
months that did much to pave
the way for the disaster that
has overtaken all American
aviation.
And some Of the worst Of the
bad counsels and misinforma-
ton that misled the Administra-
ton and finally tempted it into
the sudden cancellation of all
airmail contracts, without due

Somerset Maugham's "Of Human Bondage; at Warmers State theater starting today, the talents of England s greatest film actor and England s greatest writer merge for what has been hailed as one of the finest pie lures to grace the screen this year.
 When RKO Radio acquired Maugham's eminent literary prop erty it secured the stellar ranKs of filmdom and considered Howard the likely player to project the dramatic romance of the hero. "Of Human Bondage" is Towards first picture for this company since he co-starred with Ann Harding in "The Animal Kingdom"

 Philips slavery to Mildred seems unseverable. She leaves him for trysts with other men, but he takes her back. Nora's love dies as he deserts her to resume with Mildred, who weaves an eerie spell so cum ningly that only in her death does Philip find release.

 HollyWood-One of the most difficult and at the same time most important phases of making a motion picture is the photog- raphy. No matter what the di- rector or the east does, the final effect as seen on the screen de- bends to a large degree upon the cameraman' work,
 For this reason cameramen are cast for a picture with the same care exercised in selecting the photography is standardized to a certain extent, each camerman has his own individual touch. Hence the careful selection of them for various productions. For example, one who will show up Garbo at her very best might go just to the opposite extreme with Joan Crawford.
 Just why this should be the case is one of those inexplicable phases of the movie business, but it is a proven fact that one cam eraman will get better results with particular star than any of his 4elIoWS, even though they possess equal ability.
 Photographing the players is only part of cameramans work. however, according to Oliver Marsh. now engaged for the third time in photographing The Merry Widow" He shot it first in 1912 when Wallace Reid and Alma Ru- bens made it as a one-reeler. Again in 1925, when Erich von Stroheim made the picture with Mae Murray and John Gilbert, Marsh was at the camera. Now he's on the cur rent version being directed by Ernst Lubitsch, with Jeanette Macdonald and Maurice Chevalier in the top spots.
