PRESIDENT HAS
 AVIATION PLAN
Message Sent Congress on
 Centralized Agency For Industry

Washington, January 31 -CUP)
 = President Roosevelt today rec commended to congress formation of centralized transportation agency which would control and correlate aviation as we'll as all other forms of transportation. Transmitting the report of the federal aviation commission. MT Roosevelt advised congress he was unable to concur with the repor's recommendation for establishment of separate air commerce conl- mission to regulate aviation. Prob lems of all forms of transportation are 50 closely interlinked that the President felt ultimate supervision over all should rest with one body to be built around the present in- tcrstate commerce commission.
 T believe that we should avoid the multiplication of separate regulatory agencies in the field of transportation" the President said. Therefore, in the interim before permanent consolidate agency is created or designated over transportation as whole, q division Of the interstate com. mcrce commission can well serve the needs of air transportation."

Boston. Jan 3t--(UP) --Manu- factIring activity fin New England continues unabated. but distribu- ton is hampered by adverse wealth CT and lack of transportation fac- iiities, Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, said today in the Weekly Business Re- view.
 During December" the Review said, "as compared with Novem- Der, manufacturing esta blishments showed an increase in wage earn- CTS employed of 3.6 per cent and in the tatoI amount of payrolls of 12.5 per cent, which compares with the usual average seasonal reduction of upwards of per cent both in employment and pay rolls. ss
 Last week electrical output was GA per cent ahead Of the corre- spending week of the previous year, but showed a slightly smaller gain than the week before. New England corloadings showed n drop of about l per cent, but freight re- ceived from connections was 22 per cent ahead of the corresponding week of last year.
 "BOgton wool dealers are carry ing quite heavy stocks at present, but supplies in the hands of the mills are small. Current operations in the local market have been de- crcasing, the call being mostly for the finer grades. New orders for vol tops were comparatively few, but deliveries continue steadily in good volume, Current remain un- changed, but the market is not so firm as formerly, and top futures are lower. There also are signs oi weakness In some grades of wool
 "E'inished cottons. mostly the finer grades. have sold fairly wei during the week and the heavier goods also are quite active, with q firming of prices. The mills con tinue to be very busy and are buy ing raw cotton more freely. The spinners are booking comparative iy few new.Orders for cotton yarnf although they still continue to be moderately busy on current orders Prices are steady.
 "Shoe manufacturers are in- creasing their output, new business receive at the recent shoe fairs be ing supplemented by a satisfactory volume of orders from salesmen or the road. Trading in leather hal been rather quiet during the week although an increased call for up. per leather Is noticed. Hides anl skins are rather slow, and no de cided price trend is noted, either in leather or in the raw material
 "Contracts awarded in Ne" England during the week were al very low figure and the storm completely disrupted the deliveries of all kinds of building material.
 "Collection with the majority Of manufacturer are good. but witl the 1obbers they arc tending to lag considerably. Department store collections are good. while with the smaller dealers they are slow.

 NEXT FEW DAYS
Battle is Already Under Way in HOuse-What
 May Be Outcome

Washington, Jan 3f.-(CP)- The fight over payment of the sol diers bonus broke out in the house today as administration leaders planned q flank movement to pre- vent it's passage. Differences Of opinion as to how the $2.015, ,000,- 900 measure should be financed prccipitatcd sharp clash between two groups In the house. although no bonus bill has been officially brought to the floor. Administra tion strategy 10 defeat the bonus when tt does come up was being worked out with the pending $4.- $50, 900, 900 work relief bill as the lace in the hole" the United Press learned. The money would not be used for even q partial payment of the bonus, but part of 1t could go toward furnishing jobs for needy veterans. Those planning the strategy said.
 The most authoritative political opinion now iS that the bonus con troversy win develop about as fol- lows: The house will pass either the Patnam bill, providing for full payment through isuance of treas- ury notes. or the ViDson bill, back cd by the American Legion, pro- viding full payment through an ap- propriation. The senate can be ex- Dected to pass the bill also. Prcsi. dent Roosevelt will veto 1t. The house will override the veto.
 As the senate hears Il vote on the veto a compromise will be put for ward bearing the administrati ton E promise to care for needy veterans through jobs in the new public works program. With such an as- surance administration leaders be- lisve they can sustain the presi- dents veto in the senate.

GOING INTO THE NINTH YEAR OF
 HIS LONG SLEEP
Springfield Man Is W ell Physically-Mentally
 He Is Dead

Springfield, Mass. Jan 3f-(UP) -Physically alive and well, men, tally "dcad to the world" II. Wil- liam Lord, Gi, Springfield father of two children, Is in the ninth year of a strange sleeping sick ness. Seemingly in perfect health. victim of no known accident, Lord closed his eyes and atilled his tongue in October, 1928, and cx- cept for two long-separated periods of wakefuiness the baffling trace has persisted to this day. At least six noted brain specialists examined Lord after he was stricken, but none could diagnose the maIady. One suggested brain operation but Lords wife rejected the idea. No doctor has visited him since.
 Lords ailmcnt Is not the sleeping sickness that has been epidemic at times. for bis general health seems unimpaired. It differs from Chicago's strange case, that of Patricia Mcguire, for the Spring field victim is by no means help less. He eats, drinks and smokes .--at the command of his faithful wife. After the children have gone to work in the morning. Mrs Lord dresses the sleeper and takes him to q chair in the kitchen. She places food and utensils before him and on orders spoken close to his ear in French he breakfasts. Fol. lowing the meal his pipe and to- bacco. luxuries of his monotonoua life, are placed near his hand and at another command he lights up and smokes. The senses of touch, taste and, to lesser extent, hear ing are left him.
 In 1890, after nearly four years of sleep, Lord awakened. Rela- lives came from Montreal to visit him. For three months he stayed awake before lapsing into hih trance again. Two years ago he awokc and was like his old self about 45 days. chatting with mem bers of the family, enjoying radio broad dcasts with thcglee of dis coyerer. Don't let me 80 to sleep again." he remarked frequently to his wife before re-entcring the trance.

 John Senslsi, 30. 190 pounds and husky from outdoor labor, was brought before Recorder Grady charged with beating his wife. Eliz- abeth, and throwing his seyen- year-oid son violently against q wall. There were q few questions and answers between Judge and defendant. Then the judge descend cd from the bench used his fists on the defendant. and when finished, disin issed the charge.
 T don't think MT Senski had been badly hurt" Recorder Grady said. she's q big. strong, healthy woman. Any woman that lets her husband beat her up ought to be beaten up, in my opinion, and told her 50, except. of course. your conscience tells you you shouldn't strike woman. But socking children and throwing them against walls! l won't stand for things like that.
 Out here, when these fellows get through work. they say: Let's go home and throw the old woman around ao bit. When I asked him why he had done 1t, he couldn't give an adequate reason. except that his wife and child deserved n beating ever once in a while. I thought to myself. should I fine him the $l,000 stipulated by law? He'd never pay 1t fin his lifetime. Then he'd have 10 go to jail for a year in default of the fine. And how would his wife and two chii- dren live while he was serving out his sentence?
 "'So, your wife and child need a licking now and then. eb? asks senski, and he says. sure. and l told him. and so do you And then l let him have fl taste of his own medicine.
