Custer Suggestion.

The House Military Committee voted
today to press the War Department
for a speedy report on what it Is going
to do about the committees advice
that Maj. Gen. Benjamin D. Foulois be
removed as chief Of the Army Air
Corps.
The committee acted at the sugges-
ton of Representative Rogers. Demo-
crat Of New Hampshire chairman Of
subcommittee that made q lengthy
investigation into War Department ex-
penditures and then recommended
gross inef1ciency and misconduct"
Secretary Dern asked the solicitor
general Of the War Department to
investigate the charges. The commit
tee has been waiting four months for
q report on this inquiry
McSwain Asked to Act.
I'VE have asked Chairman McSwain
of the full committee TO take the
matter up again with the department
and ind out why the delay" Rogers
said.
The threat Of further inquiry into
the departments expenditures was
held in reserve by the Military Sub
committee seeking action on Its
months-old recommendation.
A special investigator for the COM
mittee, former Representative w.
Frank James Of Michigan, has been
gathering information which might
be used In the event further study
Is undertaken.
Members Of the Military Subcom-
mittee decided in a secret session yes
terday to press for report from Sec
retary Dern regarding Foulois. This
group first urged removal Of Foulois
last June, when it accused him OF
gross misconduct and ineficiency"
and violation of law in the purchase
of airplanes and aircraft material.
Another accusation which accom-
panied the demand for removal Of the
general was that he had advised the
Second Assistant Postmaster General
that the Air Corps was prepared to
fly the airmail when the record shows
that he as chief of the Air Corps
should have known differently" This

State and Federal officials obtained
first hand information about dust
storms today while a silt and sand
haze hung over the Nations dust bowl.
Arriving in the midst of q dust
storm, M. L. Wilson, Assistant Secre-
tary Of Agriculture, and Gov. ALI M.
Landon of Kansas started survey
of the stricken area at Colby, Kans.,
yesterday.
1--WE were impressed with the need
for even more vigorous action" said
Gov. Landon after viewing the re-
suits of the listing program inaugu-
rated to prevent soil blowing.
Apparently it will be necessary to
list not only o great many more acres,
but the appropriation per acre must
be much heavier because Of the finan-
cial condition Of many farmers in the
area that Is blowing. They are unable
to work at soil control with an appro-
priation of only 10 cents per acre."
Communities far to the west Of
the area were showered with dust
Monday. Schools were closed at Trini-
dad, Colo; mountain highways were
shrouded by q dust fog, while at
Granville, in Western Utah, airplane
and motor car traffic was halted. Two
Army aviators from Scott Field, Belle
willie, H., were forced down by the dust
at Ogden, Utah.
Basil Powell, 80, Dalhart, Tex, was
killed near Springfield. Colo, when
his motor car was wrecked in huge

BUS CONTROL BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Measure Gives |. c. c. Right
to Fix Fares and
Rates.

Without a record vote, the Senate
today passed the bill to establish Fed
eral control over motor bus and truck
TRANSPORTATION throughout the country
under the Interstate Commerce Com
mission.
Although the measure still remains
to be considered by the House, the
ease with which it went through the
Senate was taken as an indication
of favorable prospects for final pas
sage at this session The question
has been debated in House and Senate
committees for the past nine years,
and on one occasion bill passed the
House. but never has gone through
both branches in the same Congress.
Gore Changes Bill.
An amendment by Senator Gore.
Democrat of Oklahoma, was accepted
by the Senate today to make sure that
the rights of the States to control in
trastate business would not be inter-
fered with. AS it came from commit
tee, the bill stated that it should net
be construed as affecting ntrastate
business, except where and only to
the extent that such regulation causes
undue or unreasonable disadvantage or
prejudice to persons or localities in
interstate commerce"
On motion of Senator Gore, the
foregoing language in quotation marks
was stricken out.
The bill would give the I. c. c. pow
er to fix rates for interstate bus and
truck lines, and to require evidence
that public convenience and neces-
sity would be served by the establish
ment of new lines.
The bill also makes provision fol
surety bonds or liability insurance
to protect the public against injury
or property damage and also gives the
I. C. c. authority to regulate maxi
mum hours Of service of employees and
conditions relating to the safety Of
