mail Service.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Entrance of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific Railroads into
the air line field was predicted to-
day with reports that the railroads
were negotiating for the purchase of
the Northwest Airways.
Despite lack of official confirmation,
the report came from a reliable source
and quoted persons close to the air
ways operators as authority for the
statement.
Croil Hunter, general manager Of
the airways, here to confer with Post
Office Department officials over the
airmail situation, would say only
that there might be an announce
ment of the airways plans soon.
The Northwest Airways is operating
into the Pacific Northwest from Chi
cago via Minneapolis and st. Paul.
The system held a mail contract
from Chicago via Minneapolis and
st. Paul. to Billings, Mont, and
hoped to get a contract for the re-
mainder of the line soon.
The report here said the railroad
lines would continue operation Of the
airway and build it up to serve the
northern tier of Middle Western and
Western States, as the States farther
south are served by other transcon-
tinental lines.

disruption of smoothly-running or

highly-qualified personnel in the
world" Edward P. Warner. former
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy for
Aeronautics. today predicted tecon-
sideration by the Government would
lead to restoration of most, II not

Warner declared ''the scores of
thousands of Americans who have
made use Of the swift and efficient
services of American air transport
lines over the past two or three
years will be aghaSt at the decision
TO cancel all airmail contracts and
to put the carriage of mail into the
hands of the Army Air Corps"
Urges Punishment.
"No one will condone wrong do
ing" Warner said. Where individuals
are shown to have been guilty of it,
they should be punished. To wipe
out the finest air transport network
in the world by way of reaching a
few individuals, however, is to burn
down a palace by way of getting f1re
to make a piece of toast"
Warner branded as "prepoSterous'
statement attributed to Chairman
Black of the Senate Airmail Investi-
eating Committee that 1.-The course
pursued heretofore was destined to
destroy the airmail," Such a state
ment. Warner said. sis puerile nom
sense"
The American air transport sys-
tenn, like every other air transport
system in the world" Warner said,
has needed Government help. 1t has
received it through the mail contracts.
This Government has spent less
money in proportion to the results Sc
cured than that of almost any other
country in the world. The net cost
of the airmail to the Government has
decreased from 80 cents per mile flown
four years ago to barely 20 cents at
the present time, and the service has
been rapidly approaching complete
self-support. An elaborate ground or
ganization has been created, and
skilled personnel recruited and trained
both for flying and for ground service.
Air transport has made rapid strides
in efficiency, in safety, in economy
and in public popularity. 1t has been
substantially the most economical in
the world for the Government that
supported it and the most efficient
and safest for its patrons.
Impossible to Believe.
"It is utterly impossible to believe
that the President intends to allow
these magnificent organizations to be
wrecked, with an absolute necessity
of rebuilding, with essentially the
same equipment and the same per-
sonnel, for there is no other equip
ment and no other adequately expert
enced personnel to be had. am con-
fident that further consideration Of al
the circumstances will lead to the
restoration of most, if not all. Of the
contracts to the companies that have
been operated under them"

Famous Actor Is Dainty
Stars New Leading Man
in Capitol Presentation

Heralded as one of the out
standing motion pictures of all
time, Adorable" the new Fox
production, starring Janet Gaynor
and Henry Carat, opens Sunday
at the Capitol Theatre. 1t is the
first American picture to claim the
talents of the famous international
star, and the fact that he is CO.
starred with Miss Gaynor promis-
es something of the unusual in
screen entertainment. The story of
the film is said to give America S
most popular actress her best op-
portunities. 1t calls for extreme
capabilities in acting, singing and
| the dance. In her quest of the
! handsome soldier of the guard,
Miss Gaynor reveals talents hither-
to not credited to her. American
audiences will probably remember
Carat for his dual portrayal in
Congress Dances" This, however
is his first appearance in a domes-
| tic production destined principally
| for American audience.
The supporting cast is headed by
C. Aubrey Smith, veteran charac-
ter actor, and Herbert Mundin, one
of the leading comics of the screen
Others in the large cast are
Blanche Friderici, Stuart Holmes,
Albert Cont, Ferdinand Schumann-
Heink, Esther Muir, Hans Won
Twardowski, Peter Duray, Barbara

Wilhelm Dieterle directed the
production from the story by Paul

and accompaniment. The music is

Kuhn, his assistant for the past nine years, is about to enter the Benedictine Monastery of St. An solm's at the Catholic University of America, at Washington, D. C.. This monastery was, founded by 8 group of American priests, who re- ceived their monastic training at St. Benedict's Abbey, Fort Augus- tus, Invernesshire, Scotland, and returned to set up the Benedictine Foundation for Research, com bined with the 2 Liturgical- and Monastic life. s&@ s..
 The monks for the most part are engaged in teaching and di- recting investigation in both the graduate and the undergraduate schools of the Catholic University; besides scientific research in fields of human welfare and technical science, they {. also undertake re- ligious instruction and mission work.
 Among them are the Rev Dr Francis Augustine Walsh, regent of the seminary of the Catholic Uni
