ChamberIin Approves
McCarran Proposal

Approval Of the McCarran
proposal for returning the an
mail to private companies has
been given by Clarence D.
Chamberlin, aviation expert.
Mr.. Chamberlin, who was the
least critical Of all the we'll
known fliers who testified be-
fore q Senate committee con-
cerning the Administration all
mail bill, gave his sanction to
the McCarran bill in a telegram
received by the Nevada Senator
today. The telegram read:
Believe your bill with few
notifications to be by far
most practical yet offered.
Think any operation giving
good service between two
cities should be eligible to carry
mail on set basis. Greatest
boom to air transport could
be given by allowing Post
master to send all ordinary
mail by air where time saving
warranted, otherwise use rail.
Competition between paral-
lei lines would force develop
ment. Single mOtOred special
mail planes should be allowed
on certain runs through noun
tainS or In bad weather. Multi
motors do not always mean
added safety. Think pilots will
refuse to fly them on certain
runs in bad weather."
The McCarran bill would set
up an independent Federal
agency In charge Of aviation
which would issue certificates Of
convenience and necessity to
those airltnNS s deemed pCOpeN

MIAMI, Fla, April 4 G.N.S0.
President Roosevelt today began
to "get the best" out of his
vacation --uise aboard Vincent
Astor's yacht the Nourmahal.
This was the word brought to
White House headquarters at
the Miami -Biltmore Hotel here
by the Presidents son Elliott
after q flying visit with his
father.
Awaits Better Luck"
The Nourmahal was lying in
the vicinity of Elbow Key, about
200 miles south of here, where
barracuda, bonefish, and sail
fish abound. Mr.. Roosevelt'S
fishing luck has been far from
the best within the past several
days and he was determined to
remain in this location until it
bettered.
Elliott, who flew out to visit
his father, accompanied by his
brother, James. left Miami for
Washington at 5 a. m. He
planned to visit in Washington
for a couple of days before re.
turning to Fort Worth, Texas.
James, who had been visiting
friends in Palm Beach. expected
to remain aboard the yacht un-
til the end of the cruise.
Reports that the Presidents
health is not so good and that he
planned to land at Havana or
some other point in Southern
waters were set at rest by Elliott.
He's Feeling Swell
He said:
"He's not injured: he's not
sick: he's feeling swell. He is
really just begi1O ling to get the
best out of the trip"
Elliott said he found his father
clad in the usual Roosevelt
''roughing" clothing-an old white
duck hat, duck pants and a white
shirt. Elliott added:
"The pants were the dirtiest
I have ever seem"
Reports that the President in
tended to meet the President Of
Haiti during the cruise were not
so easy to down as were those
that the Executive was sick or
intended to land. Officials here
refused to deny or affirm these
reports.

LABOR TO DRAIN
EMS DELTALAND
GERMANY NOW USING CON-
VIcT LABOR IN SCHEME OF
LAND RECLAMATION, RE-
PORTS INDICATE
By JOHN A. BOUMAN
INV Associated PresSl

PAPENBURG, Germany, Sept.
11.-Germany is using convict
labor on a $2O,OOO,OOO scheme of
land reclamation, in magnitude
approaching the draining of the
Pontine marshes by Mussolini.
The moor and fenland area in
question is situated on the lower
reaches of the river Ems in north
western Germany. 1t is about
$4,000 acres in extent, COM
pared with 1S7,500 acres of the
Italian project.
The idea originated with Hams
Kerrl, Prussian minister of JUS
tice, whose department has just
issued details of the scheme.
Farm And Forest Plan
On the reclaimed land $500
farmer families will be settled,
and part of it will be reserved
for forestation purposes.
Germany's prisons will supply
the labor, The plan is to estab-
fish 81 labor camps. each accom-
modating 1000 convicts.
Much is expected from the rich
peat layers in the area, from
which, it is said, enough cleo
tricity can be generated to sup
ply the whole reich for 8 or 10
years: The peat deposits here
abouts are 10 feet thick.
Forced Labor Needed
The whole work is calculated to
occupy at least IL years.
A question why the nazi gov
ernment's voluntary labor" or
ganization is not employed for
this big scheme was answered in
the ministerial statement by the
explanation that an undertaking
of such magnitude could be car
ried out only by forced labor I'M

troll.

France Under Heavy Fire As
French Business Takes Fall

(By Associated Press)
Price Reports Suppressed

Price Reports Suppressed
One commission was named for
meat and milk. second for wheat
and a third for vegetables. Re-
ports turned in on meat, milk and
vegetables have been withheld
while wheat prices have been fixed
at $1.95 a bushel for the 1884
crop-more than double the world
price.
, This autumn's crisis, they de-
clare, may be aggravated by
treasury refinancing operations
and the almost eternal problem
of budget balancing.
Lacking sufficient tax income,
the treasury has been keeping the
government running on borrowed
money, sometimes operating from
day to day.
On top of this, 1T must lind a
way to redeem 4,000,000.000
francs (abOut 275,O00,000)
worth of elemental war recon
struction bonds in October. Point
ing to the difficulty with which
the last treasury issue, in July,
was floated. inflationists say that
the treasury will find itself hard
put to get the money to repay
these bonds.
Ask Cash On Line
Holders of 100000. 900
francs worth of bonds were given
an opportunity to exchange them
j for the July issue, but only 2,OOO,-
100000 francs worth were
turned in. The remaining hold
ers, those who favor devaluation
say, apparently want cash in Oc-
tober.
Both sides of the argument
agree, however, that much will
depend on whether Premier DOu-
mergue is able to maintain the
''truce government" which he set
up last February after "Bloody
Tuesdays" riots unsettled bust
ness and started a gold flow from
the Bank of France.
Should political unrest break
out anew, both sides fear that the
already grave financial and eco
nomic situations will be further
complicated.

Bv M. K. WHITELEATHER

By M. <. WHlIELEA HEX
PARIS, Sept. 11.-Partisans OF
devaluation of the franc are
gathering converts as business
goes from bad to worse and prices
refuse to yield to governmental
pressure. The pros and cons of
why the mighty franc, spearhead
of the gold bloc, should or should
not be deprecated to compete
with the dollar and the. pound,
daily are presented in the press
and from the rostrum.
Answering inflationists, Louis
Martin, finance minister,
reto1ts that to follow the Amer
lean and British examples would
not cure French ills; he asks bust
nessmen for a truce on pessi-
mism."
Despite this campaign, both the
government and the Bank of
France insist that large majority
of the people is behind them in
their determination to weather
the economic storm without tam
pering with the franc.
Autumn Crisis Foreseen
The devaluationists argue that
severe crisis is due this autumn
and that the government should
take steps now to soften the
shock.
They point to increasing
failures OF provincial banks, a
steadily high bankruptcy rate,
diminishing foreign trade and
savings bank deposits, a falling
off of tourist income with increas-
ing unemployment and general
pessimism of the business COM
munity-the whole accompanied
by failure. of prices to come down
as proof that the only way out
of the dilemma is to cheaper the
franc.
They maintain that the govern
ment, which appointed three COM
missions to hasten the lowering
Of prices, has failed and hence the
only way left to aid business is to
depreciate the currency.
