BROWNRE|TERATES
DENIAL OF FRAUD
Former Postmaster General
Says rle Refused to An.
sWer Black Over Radio.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, February 17.-Waltei
F. Brown, Postmaster General in the
Hoover administration, reiterated to-
day his denial that any collusion OF
fraud marked the meetings in Wash
ington of air line operators in 1890.
He said he had declined an invita-
tion to speak over the radio in reply
to Senator Blacks broadcast of Fri
day night. Brown added he thought
1t would be discourteous of him tc
make such an address prior to his ap-
pearance Monday before the Senate
Committee investigating mail contract
awards.
Permission to appear before that
body was asked by Brown, who waived
immunity from prosecution.
Before the passage Of the McNary-
Watres act" Brown declared, 1.-The
airmail operators, with unimportant
exceptions, had been concentrating
their efforts on carrying mail only.
With the powers conferred by that
act, the Post ONCE Department en-
deavored to establish a growing pas
senger and express business. =
The department used every proper ef-
fort to build up a co-ordinated air
transport system.
This system contemplated three
independent transcontinental opera
tions, with suitable intersecting sys-
TENS running North and South. Such
system has been built up and has
since become model for the rest OF
the world.
"The purpose of the meetings called
bv the Post Office on May l9 and
June 4, 1880. was entirely legal and
proper. 1t was desired to aid, under
the provisions of the Watres act. those
transport operators who carried pas
sengers and had no mail business.
Many of them were showing losses.
which would mean the abandonment
Of their operations with passengers.
To call the meetings clandestine or
secret is absurd

HASTE IS CHARGED
IN A|RMA|L ORDER
Fish Sees Public Suspicion
Real Investigation Was
Not Wanted.
By the Associated Press.

bN lUC hooOSlhbCN ASSS'
Representative Fish. in statement
last night, said the administrations s
undue haste" in canceling airmail
contracts created suspicion" 1t did
not want "a real investigation" His
statement said:
"The death of three Army aviators
on practice flights preparatory to TAX
ing over the airmail routes is indica-
tive of what may be expected at this
time of the year when, without ade-
uuate experience, Army aviators are
ordered to fly mail routes with which
they are unfamiliar Nearly all air.
mail ships have both pilot and a
co-pilot, the latter being an exper-
fenced pilot also, who knows the
routes and landing fields.
"The undue haste in canceling the
airmail contracts and the refusal to
permit the officials Of these companies
to have a hearing is not only unfair
but creates a suspicion in the public
mind that the administration does
not want a real investigation.
The only fair and proper pro-
cedure would be to continue the air

for public hearings and give those
not guilty of any wrongdoing a new
deal, and square deal. The extern
sion Of these domestic airmail con-
tracts for 80 days could do no harm
no; would the Federal Government
lose any of its legal rights, and ID
might preserve the lives of Army
aviators who have, without any oppor-
tunity of proper preparation, been Or
dered to fly mail routes and assume
temporarily unfamiliar duties. This
is no reflection on the efficiency and
ability of Army Air Corps pilots, as
even the Army must have time to
prepare for new and unexpected du-
ties
"It should be made very clear to
the American public that no Repub-
iican seeks In any way to shield
grafters or those who have perpe-
trated fraud upon the Government.
However. every American citizen, rich
or poor. powerful or humble, no mat
ter with what crime he is charged
has an inherent right to a fair and
impartial trial before conviction"

ate committee will take two or three
days. Democratic Senators on the
committee, it Is known, are preparing
to question him at length. Not only
will he be questioned about airmail
affairs of the Post Office Department
in detail but he will also be asked for
the facts in relation to flooring con-
tracts for post Office buildings for
which his friend, the late Joseph Fl.
Bagley, got large compensations. 1t
has been shown he had joint trading
account with Bagley and the latter on
his death made him his heir.
The experiment of the Post Office
Department in attempting to carry
the airmail with Army planes and
Army flyers is being watched closely
in Congress. An unfortunate aspect
of the attempt. and one that makes
for some misgiving. is the death OF
three Army pilots in Utah while en-
route to new posts to take over air
mail service. In some quarters 1t Is
feared that the Army pilots at the
outset will find 1t difficult task to
fill the shoes of the highly trained
pilots who have been carrying the
airmail day and night for years. An
other view of it, however, Is that the
training afforded Army pilots will be
invaluable from the military stand
point.

VALE and Dartmouth played heart | breaker back in 1929.
 The Big Green never had beaten the Blue. and early in the game a powerful Yale squad rolled up l0points.
 But at the start of the second half Al Marsters, one of the greatest backs of all time, took matters into his own hands. He hit the Eli line with the fury of an enraged grizzly, and in six plays covered almost 60 yards for touchdown. In five minutes he had plunged for another.
 Dartmouth cohorts went wild. Here was their first victory against Yale.
 But the cheers were short-lived. "Hoot" Ellis, noble son of Eli, intercepted one of Dartmouth's passes. outfooted the entire Green team, and scored a touchdown that broke 10000 hearts.
