MAIL PLAN
By international News Service

~ International News Service
President Roosevelt had before
him today q cordial testimonial
from airplane pilots praising his
action in asking Congress to leg
islate the return Of the airmail
service to commercial aviation.
Signed by David L. Behncke
president of the Air Line Pilots
Association, the message follows:
"The air line pilots wish to
express their great appreciation
and congratulations on your let
ter to Congress regarding pro-
posed legislation for the reOr-
EanizatiOn of the airmail. The
proposals set forth in your let
Ter are regarded by the air line
pilots, who, perhaps are closer
TO the industry than any other
single group, as being the sound
est and most constructive move
yet taken in the entire history
Of air commerce in this country.
eff your proposals are en-
acted into law it is our sincere
belief that air commerce will
receive the stable and honest
foundation which has hereto
fore been lacking, a foundation
on which can be built a new
and greater industry.
"PleaSe be assured Of the con-
einued and full cooperation Of
the air line pilots"

Importance OF
Sentiment by
D. Mayor

There is no provision for
the citizens of the District Of
Columbia to voice their impress
sions upon important govern
mental policies and proposed
legislation for washington
either through direct ballot or
representation in either the
District of Columbia Govern
ment or in Congress. The
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tions and the various neigh
borhood citizens associations
fill an important place to al
leviate this unfortunate con-
dition. They are invaluable in
their ass zee t. the mem
bers of the Sc. ate and House
District Committees and to
the Commissioners and officials
of the District of Columbia
Government in determining
the sentiment Of the people Of
Washington in local matters.
1t is deemed by all good citi-
Zens, wherever resident, that a
keen interest in governmental
affairs, both local and national,
tends to the betterrnent of the
living conditions Of all of our
people. This fact is more out
standing and important in
Washington than where the
right of franchise exists.
Organized citizenship Is a
most important movement in
Washington and should have
the whole-hearted support OF
all WaShingtonianS.

discontinued.
Last week some of the mer-

STONE HEARD in
RADIO TALK ON
REHABILITATION
FERA ADMINISTRATORS FOR
FLORIDA TALKS FROM
MIAMI BEACH DESCRIBING
ACTIVITIES LAT KEY WEST

julius F. Stone, FERA admins
traitor for the state of Florida,
gave an excellent talk over Sta
ton WHO'D of Miami Beach last
night, dealing with the rehabilita-
ton program now being carried
on in Key West.
Mr.. Stone gave a detailed out
line of the various activities that
make up the FERA's efforts to-
ward rehabilitating the Island
City, which was taken over for
this purposes a short time ago by
the organization which he repre-
sents.
The speaker made it clear that
the FERA had not appropriated
any fixed or great amount for fl
nancing projects here. but to the
contrary stated that all work was
being carried on along relief lines,
with a view toward resumption
of various lines of industries in
the meantime, by the inhabitants
as far as it may be possible to do
so.
lie said that while the program
calls for Identification of the city
following a cleanup program,
with other projects in view. never
theless, the expenditures that
were being made now were
specifically toward rendering aid
to the many who had become al
most destitute since the city had
lost practically all of its revenue,
which had heretofore circulated
in the business channels, through
employment furnished residents at
that time in the way of govern
ment jobs, fishing, sponging, Gig
armaking and the like.
Mr.. Stone also said that great
er cooperation should be effected
between Miami and Key West in
connection with the rehabilitation
program, stating that whatever
helped Key West would naturally
result to the good of Miami as
well.
He said that from the stand
point of travel. people in many
cases, stop at Miami on the way
down, and showed that the same
thing would happen on the return
trip.
In conclusion. the speaker stat
ed that no more money would be
apportioned to Key West than
any other city, in proportion, in
carrying out the program as out
lined by the various FERA units
covering the entire state.
