from WaShington's four clubs,
the D. c. Racing Pigeon Club,
of the International Federation,
and the Washington, the Greater
Washington and the Aero Racing
Pigeon Clubs, Of the American
Racing Pigeon Union, will be rep
resented by several hundred rae
ers, possibly the biggest entry
from one city.
Entries close tonight at $3.50
at the express office, from where
Grated pigeons will be shipped.
Joe Engel, President of the
Chattanooga Lookouts, OF the
Southern Association, has con-
tributed 5000 to the prize funds,
and also two cups, one for the
winning pigeon and the other
for the pigeon making the best
average speed per minute over a
distance of 600 miles.
Sectional Prizes
Besides grand prizes for the first
three pigeons, first prize to be in
excess of $3.50, sectional prizes will
be distributed. The sectional
prizes will come out Of the entry
fees received from each section.
The race is open to all pigeon
fanciers who are members OF clubs
affiliated with either the Interna-
tional Federation or the American
Racing Pigeon Union.
The entry fee is so cents per
bird, and the racing committee, OF
which Harry C. Burke, Of Wash
ington. is secretary, hopes to re-
turn about 80 per cent Of all fees
in prize money. Last year rs
cents was paid back in prizes to
fancierS.
The Chattanooga Derby re-
quires a bird to fly at least $50
miles to be eligible for the grand
prize.
Last year a pigeon from the
Brindley loft Of Steubenville,
Ohio, won, with an average speed
per minute Of 1888 yards.
Second prize went to a Wash
ington loft, that of William F.
Dismer and Theodore Mccain,
whose bird covered the 500 miles
at an average speed per minute
of 1,O79 yards. Dismer's pigeon
completed the trip in one day.
Washington lofts have won
the derby twice. Harry c. Copen.
haver and George Glazer captur-
ing the event.
TwO-Year Birds
Though there are no age re-
Quirements on entries, it is sell
dom that a fancier sends a bird
under two years of age. It re-
quires at least that long to bring
q pigeon to his best form.
The birds, which will be con-
voyed by Ed Holden, veteran
Baltimore convoyer, will be re-
leased at daybreak Sunday at
Chattanooga, possibly from the
Lookouts baseball diamond.
The field which will include
over q thousand pigeons is too
large to pick favorites, and it is
seldom indeed that the same loft
places a pigeon among the first
10 two years in succession.
AS pigeons instinctively roost
after dark, an eight-hour time-out
period is allowed for darkness,
thus making it a fair contest for
all lofts, no matter the distance.

INVESTORS FEARS

Pettengi|I Denies Holding
Company Proposal to
Auction Off Rights.

Representative Pettengill, Demo-
crat, of Indiana, yesterday inserted
in the Congressional Record an asser-
ton that utility investors ARE not 60
ing to be put on the auction block"
by congressional consideration Of hold
ing company legislation.
The statement of the high-ranking
member of the Interstate Commerce
Committee went into the Congressional
Record without a dissenting voice.
At the same time, a utilities execu-
tive, Wendell L. Willkie. president Of
Commonwealth & Southern, sent to
the House committee draft Of Sug-
gestions for regulation of holding
companies. The draft was in extern
sion of oral testimony given by him
recently.
Restricts Abolition.
Pettengill is author of a plan, lin
iting the abolition feature of the semi
administration utilities control bill be-
fore that committee to intermediate
holding companies instead of all the
topside units.
The committee, resuming sessions
today, will complete the taking of op-
position testimony this week and start
drafting the final measure, probably
next week.
Facts Sought.
IT would like for the country to
know" Pettengill said, that q group
of fair minded men is trying to ascer-
tain the facts. They are proceeding
with patience and without passion.
They are hearing every side Of the
question.
Despite excited statements that the
bill as first drafted would be rail-
roaded' through with only IL hours
for the utilities industry to present its
case, the committee already has given
the industry 48 hours and still more
will be given. The defense has already
exhausted more time than the pro-
ponents.
This brief recital ought to assure
anxious investors that the case will
be heard before it is judged and that
judgement will be the result Of reason
not emotion"

EQUALITY FOR U.S..
| GOODS DEMANDED
Roosevelt Warns Countries
Discriminating in Note
to Morgenthau.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
To its policy Of attempting to revive
foreign trade by . series of give-and-
take treaties with other countries the
United States had added today an
open warning that 1t will hit back at
nations which discriminate against
American goods.
President Roosevelt made known
that the Government Is studying the
question Of ending existing trade pacts
with Germany, Italy, Denmark and
Portugal. As he proclaimed q new
reciprocal treaty between Belgium and
the United States the President out
lined the foreign trade policy in let
ter to Secretary Morgenthau.
Many Devices Utilized.
The Presidents letter did not 60
into the details of the "discrimina-
ton" Economists long have been
noting, however. q multiplicity of de-
vices to channel trade in the modern
world, including tariffs. exchange con-
trolls. quota systems and sanitary re-
strictions.
Germany, trying to increase German
exports, advocates forced bilateral
trade balancing-a system whereby
goods and services exchanged between
two countries would balance. The
State Department. in a statement yes
allotment Of foreign exchange. instead
of being used to work toward such bi-
lateral balancing, should be adjusted
to the natural flow of trade"
Italy controls imports by highly
centralized system. Some officials hold
that the limitations discriminate
against American foreign trade.
The Presidents letter warned that
unless nations grant equality of
treatment" to the United States they
will be denied benefits of reciprocal
trade pacts now being negotiated with
more than q dozen countries.
Basis for Concessions Given.
Dividing the worlds trading nations,
big and little, into three categories, the
President directed the Treasury De-
partment to extend all tariff reduc-
| tions and other concessions granted in
| the Belgian-American pact-which
becomes effective May 1-on this
basis:
/. Canada, the Netherlands and its
colonies, Spain, and Switzerland and
Leichtenstein, which are now nego-
t.ating trade pacts with the United
States, are to be given advantage of
the reduced rates for six months, de-
spite the fact that they now are
granting less favorable treatment to
American trade than to other coun-
tries. If the present negotiations are
not completed within that time or II
any Of them fail to discontinue dis
examinations, the minimum rates ac-
corded them will be automatically
withdrawn
2, Germany, Italy, Denmark and
Portugal and It's colonies-which are
considered as unjustly discriminating
against American goods-are granted
the reduced duties and concessions
pending a decision as to whether
trade pacts now in force should be
terminated.
Must End Discrimination.
8. Other countries will receive all
benefits arising from the pact with
out time limit, but with a warning
that some Slight determinations"
must be removed
The State Departments statement
said:
Equality Of treatment Is the key
note of the foreign commercial pol
icy Of the United States. The United
States neither seeks nor accords
preferential, discriminatory treatment
Evening star., 1935-04-02

it asks only that foreign country
treat American commerce no worse
than 1t treats the commerce of any
third country, and, in turn, accords
equality Of treatment to the commerce
Of foreign countries"
Government monopolies should, the
statement declared, accord American
producers "a fair and equitable share
Of the market as nearly as can be de-
termined by price, quality, ETC., similar
to private commercial transaction"

LABOR WINS

After a long drawn out battle between
the laborers and the Virgin Islands Com
pany the Company has agreed the meet
the demands of labor ana raise wages
from 45 10 60 cents for an 8-hour day. AS
we believed and wrote In recent issue
the Company might not have been in
position to decide fol- any period beyond
June Both, but we urge d. that the work.
ers be given the so cents until that time.
Before the end of June we shall see how
much money that President allows and
we shall help the workers 10 look out
for what should be theirs.
The motive behind these large expen-
ditures is reorganization of the ecOno-
mic conditions so that the worker will
get fair share of the earnings from the
industry in which he works. When we
see a million dollars being bountifulIy
distributed between the numerous white
collared workers and those no toll un-
der the fierce tropical Sun being given a
pittance from the million dollar money
hox we must throw our weight with the
worker.
The agreement reached with Lagrange
is a little different. That is minimum
wage of so cents day. All heavy cane
will be cut at 25 cents a thousand
pounds, all light cane will be cut at SO
cents a day. The workers have the opln-
ton of deciding when they will cut on
the Job and when they will cut on the
day-pay system. The representatives
of labor say that in all fields Yielding
over three. quarter hogshead to the acre
the workers will earn far more than 60
cents a day. Apart from this, LaGrange
has to pay taxes and has no Federal mon
ey to sub sidize IT'S operations.
Lieutenant Governor Cramer will be
remembered forthe fearless stand he took
on behalf of labor. 1t is said that he pre-
ferred to resign his position than to be
connected with government that would
sit on the necks of the workers. Mr..
Cramer's attitude has helped to avert a
general strike with its conse quent suf-
