GREATER SAFEGUARD
FROM LIQUOR URGED
Wilbur La Roe, Jr., Sees Mini
mum of Protection for Resi-
Dental Sections.

Charging that under the present
Control Board there is a minimum
of protection to residential communi-
ties, Wilbur La Roe, jr, chairman
of the Washington Federation OF
Churches Civic Committee, suggested
to Commissioner George E. Allen to-
day that the District liquor law be
amended to provide more adQuatt
safeguards, particularly to schools
and churches.
His letter follows:
"The liquor situation in the Dis
trict of Columbia is deplorable, and
I am writing to make the suggestion
that the law be amended to provide
for more adequate safeguards for
schools and churches The Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board seems to be
unable or unwilling to give protec-
ton. If the statute is defective 1t
should be amended We see no sound
reason why any application for a
license to sell liquor within 600 feet
of a school should not be referred
to the Board of Education for its
HQNlCc, Will tllC llluCl oCdllNiAiS VIA
its recommendation would be con-
elusive.
Furthermore, as the Alcoholic
Beverage Control Board is now oper-
ating there is a minimum of pro-
lection to residential areas. Some
of us are almost tempted to feel
that unlimited granting of licenses
without regulation could hardly be
worse than is the present loose policy
of the board. Even under the old
saloon system there were some safe
guards as to the location of saloons,
but the board is now granting licenses
not only to places in residential COM
munities, but to places habitually
frequented by school children, and
near churches.

whether you would cooperate with
the Washington Federation OF
Churches in obtaining legislation
that will better protect the public
interest"

I'VE had bought some trucks for
the C. C. C. which had splash lubri-

military purposes and SO I came to
the definite conclusion to take that
responsibility myself and change from
splash to full force because I thought
it was for the good of the whole mill

systems are independently owned and
competitive in service. This inde-
pendent ownership Is largely due to
pressure from the Post ONCE Depart
ment, which insisted that no corpora
ton, holding company or otherwise
could hold an interest In competitive
air lines. Under competitive bidding
the mad scramble will start ali over
again.
when the airman contracts were
annulled, the countrywide air trans
portation system. which was operated
under the supervision Of the Post
Once Department, was costing the
Government the net sum Of $1,000 900

ments the carriers were all losing
money
Under the present airmail con-
tracts or route certificates, the Post
once Department has the power to
fix rates under which the carriers
must fly the airmail It Is a fair
statement that never again will the
Post Once Department get as good Q
bargain and give the same country
wide service for $1,000, 900 a year as
it had when it annulled these airmail
contracts.
Mail Decrease Cited.
1T is also fair statement that the
airmail poundage has fallen of to
about one-third of what it was before
the contracts were annulled and at
the present time there is no airmail
service worthy of the name
The air lines have been the victims
of well conceived plan of few men
with purely selfish interests to ruin
the present air transportation system
Of this country. President Roosevelt
has been cruelty misinformed as to
the facts of the airmail situation.
1T Is unfortunate that witnesses
before the Senate Committee are not
permitted to have counsel nor Is the
right granted the airmail carriers to
cross-examine witnesses.
In the course of time all the facts
will come out and the American peo-
pie will understand the real situation.
In the meantime the air transporta-
ton system of this country. which
prior to the cancellation of the air
mail contracts was admittedly the
finest in the world, has been done
irreparable damage.
1T is presumed that before new
legislation by Congress is enacted. full
public hearings will be ded all

Admiral Laning was a Government

Palm would have struck it amidships,
crashing into the quarters Of the crew,
then eating breakfast. Three men on

ARMY CONTRACTS
REPORT GUARDED
Roosevelt and Dern Get
Findings on War De-
partment Probe.

Contents of a special report of the
grand jury to President Roosevelt and
Secretary of War Dern on its inquiry
into alleged lobbying activities at the
War Department were being closely
guarded today in official circles.
The five weeks Of intensive investi-
CATION ended in a l5-to-8 vote against
indictment of any one, but the grand
jury felt impelled to report certain of
its collateral findings to administra-
ton leaders.
A copy of the report also was sent
to the Department Of Justice by
United States Attorney Leslie c. Gar
nett. for the information Of Justice
officials who caused the launching of
the grand jury proceedings.
Chairman McSwain of the House
Military Affairs Committee, which is
conducting its own inquiry into Army
procurement methods, has asked Sec
retary Dern for a copy of the secret
report, it was learned today. The COM
mittee already has been supplied with
a transcript of voluminous testimony
given by 40 witnesses who appeared
before the jurors.
Changed Specifications.
Agreeing he had changed specifica-
tions for trucks and a number OF
other things Assistant Secretary OF
War Woodring told congressional in
vestigators yesterday he would accept
full responsibility and do the same
thing again under similar circum-
stances.
He appeared before the House Mill
tary Affairs Subcommittee headed by
Representative Rogers. Democrat OF
New Hampshire, just after Assistant
United States Attorney David A. Pine
gave to the committee some testimony
submitted before the grand jury which
declined to return indictments for al
legged conspiracy In War Department
purchases.
Woodring said all specifications
were supposed to pass through his
office and many which he had seen
were lilly prepared, ambiguous"
There have been insinuationS and
criticisms that 1 have changed speci-
fications in su~h way that it lessened
or broadened competition" Woodring
told the committee. "Yes, I changed
the specifications on the recommended
ton of my technical advisers. I &C

He disclosed the grand jury had
considered one change he made in
specifications drawn for trucks to be

A plain statement Of the airmail
situation has been demanded Of the
Senate Airmail Investigating Com
mittee by Brig. Gen william Mitchell,
retired, whose outspoken advocacy of
improved Army air equipment q few
years ago forced him out of the serv-
ice.
In letter to Chairman Black yes
terday, Mitchell declared the time has
come when the airmail situation
should be presented in its true light
and dispel the distorted impression
which has been created by the per-
sistent and carefully planned malici-
GUS propaganda of the airmail con-
tractors and their affiliates."
For years, we were assured by the
Republicans and by the civilian air
contractors that we had the best air
equipment in the world and it is only
through the wise move Of the Presi-
dent that we discovered the appalling
state of the most important arm of
our national defense
Mitchell conferred with President
Roosevelt yesterday.
To Black, he said:
THE skill, courage and chivalry OF
our splendid Army flyers have been
completely nullifed by inadequate
equipment and curtailment Of the
number Of hours they could fly by the
War Department. This did not give
them an opportunity to perfect them
selves in flying through storms and
bad weather conditions
1T is only through continuing the
present mail operations that the true
facts can be found out and remedies
applied. Our whole air craft set-up
must be reorganized and particularly
our present air craft industry which
is controlled and held down by hold
ing companies which have little or no
knowledge of aviation.
While it is very distressing that
the lives Of our brave pilots have been
lost, think of what would have oc-

Air transport companies whose mail

Of well conceived plan of a few
men with purely selfish interests to
ruin the present air transportation

ice for 100000 a year as it had
when 1t annulled these airmail con-
tracts"

is to grant them their day in court.
The airmail carriers have l0-year
contracts. which were let by public

Coolidge administration, which con-
tracts, or route certificates, expire on
April S, 1886, with authority in the
Postmaster General to extend some Of
them to October 25, 1910.
Have Spent Millions.
"On the basis Of these contracts,
which were entered into in good faith
with the Post Once Department, the
airmail carriers have spent millions Of
dollars in ground facilities in the way
of airports. airways, radio broadcast
ing stations and weather reporting
meteorological stations. Many of the
carriers have also entered into long
term commitments for the use of air
ports and airway facilities with mu-
inequalities along their lines. Trans

$6,0O0,00O invested along its airmail
route in pioneering and development
