new AIRMAIL,
STUDY URGED.
Roosevelt Would Name
Commission to Develop
Federal Policy

WASHINGTON. April II. (UP).
President Roosevelt last night
sought congressional authority to
appoint a special commission OF
experts to study all phases of the
confused airmail situation and
develop a general government
policy for development of all
types of aviation.
The president suggested that
pending permanent airmall bills
be curtailed to provide for the
award of contracts only for
year or until the commission can
make a thorough investigation
and report to congress.
Mr.. Roosevelt advanced these
proposals in a long conference
with Chairman Kenneth Nickel
lar, D., Tenn, of the senate post
office committee Chairman Hugo
L. Black. D., Ala, of the senate
air mail investigating committee;
and Chairman James Mead, d.,
n. Y, of the house postoftlce
committee.
He called attention, a White
House statement said, to the tact
that "The United States has had
no broad aviation policy; that
large number of interrelated fac
tors enter into the general SUD-
iect., of civilian and military 1ly-
ing and their subdivision into ma
terial, personnel. manufacturing
and experimentation"

PUBLIC ENEMY
BILL OFFERED
Would Authorize Federal
Reward of $4,000 for
Men, Dead or Alive

WASHINGTON, April II. (UP).
A bill authorizing the federal
government to paw $4,000 re-
ward for capture, uead or alive,
of the nations chief desperadoes
was introduced yesterday by Rep
resentative Wright Paman, D.,
Tex.
The measure would leave to
the attorney general the right to
name those criminals whom he
considers to be public enemies
and for whose apprehension the
reward would be paid.
Department of justice employees
are exempt from those who would
be eligible for the federal re-
ward.
The Patman measure is direct
ed against criminals such as John
("Wooden Pistol') Dillinger,
pretty Boy" Floyd and other
desperadoes who have been roam
ing the countryside taking a
heavy toll of life.
The bill is expected to be re-
ferred to the judiciary committee
which now is considering seven
misunderstanding and crime meas
ures passed by the senate. AL
though President Roosevelt did
not include the crime bills in the
legislative program which he
deemed essential that congress:
dispose of before adjournment,
it was felt that some action
would be take non the measures
by the house soon.

trotsky Seeking Refuge In United States
BRITISH BUDGET ESTIMATES
IGNORE PROVISIONS FOR NEW
PAYMENT ON u. S. WAR DEBT
Some Payment, Outside Of
Budget, May Be Made,
1t Is Believed

, LONDON, April 17.-(UP).-
England will continue to adhere
to her policy Of refusing to pay
her war debts to the United
States, pending negotiations for
revision or cancellation, Neville
Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer revealed today in pre-
senting the 1934-35 budget to the
house of commons.
Despite the treasury surplus at
the end of the fiscal year and the
prospective surplus revenue over
expenses in the current budget OF
$160,567, $40, the chancellor made
no estimates for the provisions of
war debts payment or for repara-
tions receipts from Germany.
This was a repetition of his &C
ton for the two preceding years.
Nevertheless, Great Britain has
been making small token pay
ments to avoid default.
1t is generally assumed, how
ever, that such a payment will be
made to the United States this
year, outside of the budget esti-
mates.
Chamberlain's silence in regard
to budget provisions for payment
of something to the United States
on the war debts during the forth
coming year came as a big sur
prise. A significant pronounce
iBent has been expected in some
quarters in this regard - Great
Britain's debt is $4,55T,1UO, 900.
Last December, when the semi
annual payment was due, Britain
made a small token payment of
$7,5O0,00O, purely as a gesture
to prevent entire default.
1t had been generally felt that
Chamberlain could not again pass
over this budget item completely,
as he did a year ago, when the
British still hoped that the United
States would suspend or cancel
the entire payment.

"To expect the government to

is unacceptable that government, to

greater powers of social control.
81 think it is the realization of
this that explains our current de-

Surely the present crisis is not
the result of the breakdown OF
