COLLINS KILLED
." TESTING NEW
NAVY PLANE

NEW YORK, March % U.N.S0.
"A sad finis had been written to-
day to the career of one of the
best known and most romantic
figures in commercial aviation.
James H. (Jimmy) Collins, test
pilot, was killed late yesterday
on what was to have been his
last test flight and on the eve OF
what he had regarded as his
greatest "break."
The Grumman biplane fighter
which Collins was testing for the
Navy came to pieces in midair
and crashed in the Pinelawn
Cemetery near Farmingdale, L. I.
He died almost instantly.
Planned to Retire
Collins, who was 33, signed a
contract about three weeks ago
to write a daily column for a
newspaper syndicate. He had OBJ
tanned this position as the re-
suit of an article on the testing
Of military airplanes which he
wrote recently for a national
magazine.
Assured of a good income and
a chance to live more convention
ally with his wife and two small
children, Collins had decided to
abandon stunt and "test flying" "
Yesterdays flight was definitely
to have been his last.

Tu1'aulty's Tribute to
Cornelius Ford
Ts the Editor of The Timeg:

To the Editor of The Times:
The passing of Cornelius Ford,
former Public Printer during the
days of the Wilson administration,
brings real grief to many sorrow
ing friends who admired this sim
pie, lovable man. He did not
reach the pinnacle of prominence
through ancestral halls, nor was
he spoiled by the trumpet call OF
fame. Having known Con in the
old days in New Jersey, as a trib'
ute to the honor and integrity OF
the man, Woodrow Wilson made
him the administrator of the
largest governmental printing
plant in the world.
In the early days Of my life I
was associated with Con Ford as
a member of the New Jersey legis-
lature in the session of 1907, where
first we met and plighted our po-
litical troth. To the end we were
devoted friends. When I became
secretary to the President Of the
United States I suggested the ap'
pointment Of Con Ford. At that
time he was working in an hum
bic capacity as printer in the
office of the Hudson Observer, a
home town paper. Early in 1913
he came to Washinton, where ne
was intimately associated with
President Wilson, Franklin Roose
welt and leading Democrats and
Republicans of Washington, and
though the post Of Public Printer
is a highly influential one, where
large expenditures Of pu vi c
money are made, Con Ford showed
himself to be what he really was
in the very depths of his fine ma
ture-a solid rock of integrity and
high purpose, loyal to the Presl
dent and to his country in al
things. He was one Of the finest
men I have ever met, a real Chris
tian father, possessing the mos
likable and lovable qualities oi
manhood.
Indeed, no one could stand in
his presence without feeling clean
and wholesome. You knew he
was honorable and decent when
you met him: you felt it in the
air about him. During the crit
ical days of the war he per-
sonally handled the messages of
the President to Congress. In
this highly important matter, he
was the depositary of the Pres
ident's confidence and he was so
finely tempered that he would
guard that confidence with his
life. When the Wilson admin
istration passed from the stage,
like Cincinnatus. he returned to
the humble calling whence he
had come.
Last night 7 visited his old
fashioned home to pay tribute to
this old-faShioned man who lived
on an old-fashioned street and
who possessed the old-fashioned
qualities of decency, loyalty and
honor in all things.
Surely, when he passed over
the line, the trumpets sounded
for him on the Other Side.
Sincerely yours,
JOSEPH P. TUMULTY.

Objects to BEanton's
"Meddling"

To the Editor of The Times:
The pernicie2s scheming on the
part of congressional members to
bring about changes in the Police
Department, as brought to light
by the current House investigation
into crime conditions here-this
Scheming, I say, is one of the most
emasculating factors in our com.
plex crime suppression problems.
Mr.. Blanton, Of Texas, has been
definitely linked with a program
whereby a friend of his would be
elevated at the expense Of another
police officer. Mr.. Blanton, as we
all know, Yields considerable
power here because of his position
on the House Appropriations Com.
mittee.
Mr.. Blanton could best serve his
country by confining his activities
to those of his district in Texas.
We appreciate the interest he has
taken in District affairs, but he
appears to have been a bit over
jealous for our welfare.
We took care of ourselves before
Mr.. Blanton ever thought of com.
ing to washington to become its
unofficial but self-appointed czar.
Perhaps, if Mr.. Blanton will give
us the opportunity. we can again
run our local government to suit
ourselves. Certainly, we do not
care to have a Texan meddling in
the affairs of the Police Depart
ment.
DISTRICT RESIDENT.

Asks Justice
For Bldnton

To the Editor of The Times:
It strikes me you are unduIy
critical in your news columns OF
the Democratic Representative
from Texas, Mr.. Blanton. Mr..
Blanton has always had the in
terest of the District at heart. His
whole congressional record is a
quilt of hard work woven together
by the virtue of patriotism and
unselfishneSS.
I do hope The Times, which I
read and respect, will not join
the other washington newspapers
in villifying this outstanding pub
lie servant who has given his
services and the best part of his
life to the interests Of his country.
The malicious talk being circu-
lated in washington these days
regarding the part Mr.. Blanton
played in the choice Of officers
for the Police Department is only
further proof of the argument
that we in this country have not
yet become civilized. We are too
prone to crush and not sufficiently
enlightened to build. We are too
apt at destroying in this country
and not powerful enough to erect.
Ours is too material q civilization,
and history proves conclusively
that such structures are built on
sand and will not stand the on
slaught of time.
The current attack on Mr.. Blan-
ton is only logical in view of the
foregoing. JUSTICE.

10 the Editor of The Times:
OF all the frauds perpetrated

the city the current Congress

conditions is probably the most
brazen.

|tion. How did it start? What was
the motive?
The proper place for an in.
vestigation of this type is behind
closed doors. Neither should such
an investigation be conducted by
politicians, whose motives are
doubted before they begin. An
investigation should not be a
undertaking show put on at the
expense of honest officials. Many
lives will be ruined after the in
vestigation is over. The only
gain will be the free publicity
for the politicians.

Capt. Anthony Eden, British cab
met member charged with League
affairs, will 90 to Geneva with what
amounts to a popular mandate to
uphold the covenant, even if 1t
means a League war against Italy.
In the greatest referendum Of its
kind ever taken, nearly II million
British voters cast ballots on the
following question: IF one nation
attacks another, should other ma
tons compel it to desist by eco
nomic, non-milftaTy measures?" The
answer was yes by more than 10
million votes.
To the question whether military
measures should be used, if neces-
ssry, the vote was approximately
three to one in favor Of force.
The British government, however,
seems less inclined than its voters
to use economic or military pressure
against Italy-in conjunction with
the League or otherwise. Neverthe-
less. with a general election ahead,
1t faces the necessity of taking a
strong hand when the League Coun-
Gil meets, probably within the next
fortnight.
Great Britain will want to know
exactly where the United States
stands before the League takes any
drastic action.
Never so long as I have any re-
sponsibility in governing the coun-
try will sanction the British Navy

of any country in the world until I
know what America is going to do. 4"

position that. by signing the kel-
logg pact outlsw1ng war, the U.ited
States gave up the right to trade
with violators Of the pact. Before
taking any positive action against
Italy. therefore, Britain would seek
very definite understanding with
this country along these lines. Bar
ring such understanding, any fall
ure Of the world peace machinery
would be laid at the door Of Uncle
Sam.
A League flasco in this final peace
crisis would almost certainly result
in the end Of the League, as it now
exists. and possibly in a funda-
mental revision Of its covenant.

imperial Valley, as was to be expect
ed, Is receiving some highly undesirable
publicity In eastern papers because of
recent developments in connection with
the lettuce strike.
The so-called Liberal" writer's. most of
whom swing more to radicalism than
liberalism, are having their day and they
are making the most of it.
Imperial Valley can weather it and
will, for it has nothing to hide.
We have seen some of these articles
and believe some of our officials have
been imposed upon by fly-by-night news
papermen, who always flock to any CON-
munity promising excitement and a
chance to sell sensational stories.
Those approached by the fly-by-n nights
should remember that they are in most
cases, writing for papers which thrive
on sensationalism and it is their job to
make any story as lurid as possible.
Generally they sell the story on a space
rate basis. They are without any sense
of responsibility except to sell the arti-
cles they write.
They are adopts at taking a general
statement and making it apply to par
ticular community or incident; they dis
tort the truth, magnify unimportant
items and eXaggerate in the extreme so
that their stories may have a greater
appeal to the editor to whom they are
submitted, who must cater to the people
who want sensationalism.
Those who are thus interviewed"
would no doubt be surprised if they
could read in print what they are sup
posed to have said.
There are, of course, legitimate news
papermen, sent by legitimate papers,
into communities where there is news.
They have credentials and are only too
glad to present them to identify themr
selves.
There are local newspapermen, we'll
known to all, who would be only too glad
to give advice on submitting to inter-
views or in checking up on what the in
terviewer has written.
The person approached for an inter-
view, should demand to see credentials
and if they are not produced, he should
say nothing. In any case he should
check up on what is being written, lest
he be credited with making statements
which he never intended should be made
1t should be remembered, when Incl
dents such as the lettuce strike occur,
that Imperial Valleys good name is to be
considered in giving anything out for
publication.
