RECOMMENDED
To CONGRESS
BY PRESIDENT
Roosevelt Not Favorable To
Separate Control For Aviation
As Suggested
ASKS FOR LEGISLATION
Board Similar To Expanded In
terstate Commerce Commis-
sion Believed Practical
ASKS FOR LEGISLATION

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. W.R)--
President Roosevelt today recon-
mended to congress formation of o
centralized transportation agency
which would control and correlate
aviation as well as all other forms
of transportation.
Transmitting the report of the
federal aviation commission, Mr..
Roosevelt advised congress he was
unable to concur with the report IS
recommendation for establishment
of separate air commerce commits
sion to regulate aviation.
Problems of all forms of transpor-
tation are so closely interlinked
that the President felt ultimate
supervision over all should rest with
one body to be built around the
present interstate commerce COM
mission.
81 believe that we should avoid
the multiplication of separate reg
ulatory agencies in the field of
transportation" the President said.
"Therefore in the interim before
a permanent consolidate agency Is
created or designated over trans
portation as a whole, division of
the interstate commerce commission
can well serve the needs of air
transportation
Urges Legislation
Pending development of perman-
ent policy, Mr.. Roosevelt pointed
out there must be early legislation
to care for present air mail con-
tracts which expire about March l.
Existing laws which prevent one
company from operating more than
one primary route also should be
revised before then, he said.
He concurred in the suggestion OF
of the aviation commission, headed
by Clark Howell, Atlanta publisher,
that the I. G. C. temporarily be
empowered to lower or increase
mail contract rates as it deems
necessary.
"The purpose of this is to pre-
vent the destruction of any eff
ciently operated part Of the present
system pending suitable consider
alton by the congress of what per-
manent measures should be taken
and what amendment, if any, the
present general transportation pol
icy of the government should un-
dergo.
81 concur in this recommended
ton of the federal aviation COM
mission provided always that the
grant of this duty to the ICC be
subject to provisions against un-
reasonable profits by any private

this interim period "any profits at

j. s. SENATE
MIXED Up IN
MEXICAN PLOT
Government Officials Say Rebel
Conspirators Claimed Support
Of Upper House.
By JACQUES D'ARMAND
United Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright. 1885, BY United Press
MEXICO CITY, Jan. 81 U.D -
Revolutionary conSpirators who
plotted revolt next Tuesday
claimed the support of the United
States senate, government agents
asserted today.
Among documents seized by the
government, it was alleged, was
one which said that Jose Vascon-
celos, exiled opposition leader, was
going to return from Buenos Aires
early in February to head the re-
volt with the support of the Ameri-
can senate.
Vasconcelos, police say, was to
have been president if the revolt
succeeded, with Gilberto Valen-
zuela as minister of interior and
Gen. Marcelo Caraveo as secretary
of war. Valenzuela and Caraveo
are in Ell Paso, Texas.
Following up their charge that
the revolt was plotted by two
groups of conspirators, one in El
PaSo and the other in Mexico,
government agents said that the
conSpirators smuggled arms from
the United States by way of Devils
Canyon and Berrenda, Ariz.
Thirteen Held
Thirteen men arrested as the re-
suit of disclosure of the plot were
charged last night with high
treason.
In addition to those charged
with high treason, 13 more men
were arrested as co-plotters.
War department secret agents
say that the revolt was TO have
been started in IL states, prin-
cipally northern ones, next Tues
day.
1t was said that the rebels were
known to have imported 100000
pesos ($83,5O0) worth of contra
band arms.
Although none of the first rank
leaders, who had picked their gov
ernment posts in anticipation of
victory, were arrested, govern
ment agents were said to know the
whereabouts of all except Antonio
Villareal, defeated presidential can
didate.
Villareal, one of the most elo-
quent orators in Mexico, is be-
lieved to be regarded by secret
agents as the key man of the
plotted revolt.

insidious and battling of American
health problems.

work at Warm Springs-"the JOY
Gus task OF taking care of scores OF
children and trying to britg them
back to useful, active participation
in life.'
The 70 per cent of funds raised
by birthday parties this year go for
the second objective. the giving OF
"better care TO crippled children
within or near their own commune
ities,' he said.
"I need not tell you OF my own
deep personal happiness that my
birthday is being made the occas-
ion for aiding this splendid work. ["
the President said. 'I wish that I
might be with each and every one
of you at each and every one OF
these parties and entertainments In
every state in the country"

CAROL TO QUIT
NINE. LUPESCU

VIENNA, Jan. 81 UH - King
Carol of Roumania has made a
fiye-star final decision to renounce
red-haired Nine. Magda LupeScu,
for whom he once gave up his
right to the throne, it was reported
today on apparently unquestion-
able authority. .....
Carol was said to have given his
word within recent days to several
men high in Roumanian politics
that he would seek reconciliation
with his divorced wife, Princess
Helen, and ask her to remarry
him.
What the effect of a recon-
ciliation would have as concerns
the beautiful Nine. Lupescu was
problematical. There were hints
that Carols affection for her re-
manned undiminished, but that at
the urgent demand of political
leaders he would at least renounce
formally this attachment.
Carols decision was said to
have been dictated by reasons of
state alone. 1t was asserted that
his advisers told him his throne
was endangered because of popu-
lar resentment.
The Roumanian Iron Guard"
of Nazi-Fascist character, has
been bitterly inimical to Nine.
Lupescu, partly because of her
Jewish blood.
Carol is said to have told Dinu
Bratianu, a former cabinet minis
ter, only few days ago that he
was ready to seek a reconciliation
with Helen.
