First Lady Plans
Pistol Practice on
WhiteHOuseRd
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt hopes to
improve her accuracy with a revolver
by practice on the new White House
target range at the first opportunity.
That's what she told her press con-
ference yesterday and, in answer to
questions, emphasized she did not con-
slider practice shooting in conflict
with her theory that children should
not be taught war by playing with tin
soldiers
The Presidents wife hasn't seen
the range yet, installation having
been made while she was absent from
the White House, but she hopes it
will prove useful to every one about
the mansion.
The guards and Secret Service men,
all of whom carry pistols. will do their
practice there, she said, adding she
had no idea where the plan originated.
1t had been attributed to Mrs. Roose-
velt herself.
Can you shoot?" she was asked.
"Yes."
'Well. what do you shoot?"
Anything I'm given to shoot"
isn't that against your idea not
to give children warlike toys?"
Her answer was an emphatic neg
ative.

sharply.
NO" doomed Brown.
"What other earthly object could
you have had?" asked the Senator.
Brown replied in a raised voice that
the idea was to aid aviation pioneers
If possible within the Watres airmail
act.
In quieter fashion the same ground
was covered later. Black referred to
the plan" which guided the airmail
meeting in May and June, 1880, and
asked If 1t were not so that what
you term equities could be awarded
without competitive bidding
That what they wanted to do"
Black rubbed his hands and OBJ
served that the plan could not be
carried out If the various operators
tried to get line which held equities
belonging to other groups"
Agreement on equities" Brown re-
piled, didn't mean there was any
agreement on a plan for the diversion
of contracts"
He added that the air transport
operators had tried to establish among
themselves who had pioneer rights" !"
Il knew they couldn't" he testified,
land that it would give me an ex-
cuse for chucking the whole plan"
But they did agree in good many
instances" Black said.
Very, very few Brown told him.
That's correct" Brown said quietly.
Black sought a definition of "pio-
neer" rights from Brown and the rea-
sons for establishing the equities" I"
and attempted to show that several
pioneer concerns received scant con-
sideration.
When I supported the original
Watres BILL" the former Postmaster
General said, II wanted to have the
right to put mail on planes as in the
case OF trains. l wanted the power
to give these starving little passenger
operators mail pay. had in mind the
establishment of long routes to de-
termine the possibilities of passenger
carrying"
He explained that he also had had
In mind lines starting at such cities
as Los Angeles and New York, where
q lot OF business originated"
Black inquired about the Pittsburgh
Airways, which operated between
Pittsburgh and Washington. Brown
called the service cheap and unde-
pendable."
/ The committee chairman insisted
the line was pioneer and said the
concern which finally got the airmail
contract. Transcontinental & Western
Air, had never flown the route.
Black read a telegram signed by
Earl P. Halliburton, airline operator,
on July 9, 1880, to William P. Mac

CONTRACT ACTION
Raises Question of Smoke
Screen to Cover War De-
partment Irregularities.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representative Hamilton Fish, Re-
publican, Of New York, in a radio
address last night raised the question
as to whether cancellation of the air
mail contracts "is a smoke screen
to cover up the irregularities in the
War Department now under investi-
cation by grand jury"
He also asked II the action might
not have been taken to cover up
'the lobbying activities of a number
of recent Democratic national COM
mitteemen, including one in partic-
ular who 1t Is alleged in the public
press received fee recently of $1S,-
600 from an aviation company"
THE drastic and ill-advised action
OF Postmaster General Farley in can
ceiling airmail contracts made under
a Republican administration without
a hearing on grounds of favoritism
and bringing ruin to a growing in
dustry, together with his holding high
political and party Offices, require his
resignation from one or the other
Immediately" Fish said adding he
held no brief for any airmail COM
pany officials or public officials who
were involved in the contracts If
any are guilty"
Fish charged that presumably
with the sanction of the President"
Farley issued his edict worthy of
Fascism, Hitlerism or Sovietism in
their most high-handed and arrogant
moods"
He repeated his protests against
the reception given by White House
officials to a telegram sent by Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh in connection
with contract cancellations. Fish
complained that the White House
instead of calling the flyer in for
discussion Of his views pursued en-
tirely different tactics, typifying a
spirit foreign to American tradition
that no criticism of the administra-
ton will be tolerated or condoned."

of the Blue Ridge. 1t was an out

of the Six Nations, whose dominion
had been extended by conquest and
treaty down the Appalachian Valley
from Canada to Georgia. But within
this region of hemlock and chestnut

Of perpetual twilight, the Iroquois
recognized the hunting rights of their
kindred tribesmen, the Cherokee Ma
ton of the Carolinas. Here was
bit of aboriginal statecraft which had
some bloody sequels in the English
settlement of the region. The area
was absolutely uninhabited, except for
wandering Indian hunting parties. 1t
might be described as an IroquoiS
national forest" or game preserve,
whose peace was broken only by un-
authorized Chickasaw and Creek in

Immense Game Resources.
Immense herds Of bison were
trampling through the wilderness, the

bears multiplied in peace in the

full of otter and muskrat. Wild tur-
keys were plentiful. The great will

occasional white hunters who invaded

Cherokee.
The first recorded white invasion
was that directed from North Caro-
lima by the Earl of Joudon, COM
mander of the Kings troops in North
America, in 1855. A post garrisoned
by 200 men was established on the
Tennessee River about 80 miles south
OF Knoxville. 1t was promptly as

two-month seige, during which the
soldiers were reduced to starvation

conflicting reports of what happened.

more probable account is that a few
were scalped and many retained as
prisoners, their blood flowing in the
veins of the Cherokee Nation today.

ADAMS OWNED AIR
STOCK, HOUSE TOLD
Former Secretary of Navy
Shown as Douglas Com.

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
The House Naval Committee learned
today that Charles Francis Adams,
Secretary of the Navy from 1929 to
1882, owned 500 shares of stock in the
Douglas Aircraft Co. on November
80, 1888.
Navy representatives already had
shown that the Douglas Co. did
s4,288,341 worth of business for the
Navy between 1902, and eight
months of 1888, making p per cent
profit.
j. H. Kindelberger of Santa Monica,
Calf, vice president of Douglas in
charge of engineering, supplied the in
formation about Adams holdings.
Assistants Non Holders.
He said neither David S. ingalls, nor
Edward P. Warner, Adams Assistants
for Aeronautics, were shown to be
holding Douglas stock on November
80, 1888.
Kindelberger said Adams stock was
shown on a list as Of last November
80. and that so far as he knew 1t had
not changed hands since then. He
did not know when Adams acquired
the stock.
Adams has accepted an invitation to
appear before the committee, prob
ably next week, to testify about Navy
airplane contracts.

Hitting out at huge private profits
in the manufacture of war equip
ment, Senator Bone, Democrat, Of

Already passed by the House, the
bill came up in the Senate late In the
day, but Bones proposal started such

was put off.
Bones amendment caused Senator
Hale, Republican, Maine, to remark
that the Government manufactured
only planes for experimental purposes
and was not equipped to go into mass
production.

the Government already had one air

after the Six Nations had ceded that
part Of the area north and east OF
the Tennessee River to the English
at a conference called In l767 by Sir
William johnson on the present site
of the City of Utica, N. Y. Whether
they intended to cede, or were en-
powered to do SO under the ethics Of
Indian statecraft, the hunting rights
of the Cherokee, Is quite another
not consulted and never acknowl-
edged the validity Of the treaty.
But following this treaty perma.
nent white settlements, in constant
danger Of massacer, began to appear
in Southwest Virginia and East Ten
nessee along the Watauga, Holston
and French Broad Rivers in the coun-
try which Daniel Boone had described
as so wild and horrid it is impos-
sible to view it without terror" No
sooner had they attained some basis
Of security than the situation was
complicated by the outbreak of the
Revolution and the alliance of the
impla Cherokee Nation with
Great Britain.
This led directly to the outstanding
event in the history of the Tennessee
Valley, the battle of Kings Mountain,
which Is firmly believed in this area
to have been the turning point of the
Revolution. The homeSpun-clad noun
taineers with their long rifles organ
lied themselves into military COM
panieS under command of two ex-
Tot
| and Isaac Shelby, treked over the hills
and wiped out the British forces COM
manded by Col. Patrick Ferguson, and
his Tory allies. The frontiersmen
wrought little less than a military
miracle, partly due to their extraordi-
nary craftsmanship. This same
Patrick Ferguson, slain and soon for
gotten, deserves more than casual
mention in the annals of East Ten
neSsee. He was Galahad-like figure
among the British commanders in
North America, the inventor Of a
"breech-loading" f1intlock rifle which
might easily have turned the tide of
any war, but the principle of which
was not put into practical use for
nearly a century.
