4 NEW YORK, May IL UN.S).
James v. Martin, pioneer flyer,
inventor and manufacturer, today
charged in a $90,000.O0O damage
action that the air forces of the

nopoly of leading aircraft manu-
facturers.

States District Court under Rrovi-
SionS of the Sherman antitrust
law, assessing tribe Damages and
naming every oiltstaI3Ging manu-.
facturer Of airpIanes Snd the
Manufacturers Aircraft Associa-
.tioTf as members Of the alleged
airplane trust. q
In his complaint Martin charged:
"The defendants have wilfulIy

ACTION SEEN

Sudden Move Causes
Council to Postpone
Issue to June IS

GENEVA, May IL U.N.SO.-Ex-
pressing their personal conviction
that they would not return, but
that Italy is leaving the League Of
Nations for good, the Italian dele
gates departed at $40 p. m. for
Rome in obedience to a sudden
order from Premier MuSSolini.
A prominent member of the
Italian delegation told Interna-
tional News Service as he en-
trained:
"My personal feeling Is that
we are through with Geneva"
CROWD AT STATION
A considerable crowd of italian
residents Of Geneva gathered at
the station and gave the Fascist
salute as the Rome Express pulled
cut. 2. \ va :
The italian delegates may have
assumed the pretence that Italy
is leaving the League for good in
order to maintain the Leagues
anxiety, but all Of them shook
their heads when friends said "Au
reYoir." They replied:
"NO, its adieu."
Whether MuSsolini actually pulls
Italy out Of the League depends
to a considerable extent on the
character of the councils final
declaration on Ethiopia.
Action POSTPONED
In the absence of the Italians,
but with Wolde Marian, the Eth
opian delegate, at the conference
table, the Council Of the League
this evening adopted a resolution
saying:
'The council is of the opinion
that further time is necessary
to permit members to consider
the situation created by the Sc
rious new step taken by tho
Italian government. The coun-
Gil, therefore, has decided to
resume deliberations on this sub.
ject on June Is.

time there is no cause for mOdi-
flying the measures previously
adopted"

Secretary in Surprise
Hearing Held Open
By Senate


A score of new processing taxes
estimated to bring 220 million dol
lars annual revenue into the Treas
ury were recommended to the
Senate Finance Committee today
by Secretary Of Agriculture Wal.
lace.
Wallace testified at a surprise
open session of the committee,
after it previously decided to hear
him in secrecy.
He recommended processing
taxes on wheat. rye. corn, hogs,
cotton, rice, sugar, tobacco, cattle,
sheer. rayon silk and even Aaneri-
can spirits.
Emphasis on Sugar
He particularly complained that
failure to impose a processing tax
on sugar would result in the UNFAIR
enrichment of sugar professors,
he said. 4
Recommending they be written
into the bill to increase the source
Of revenue and bolster the agri-
cultural market, Wallace said:
Gas o whole, the processing
taxes on agricultural cOmmOdi-
ties suggested would constitute
only q very slight burden on con-
sumerS, since the total of these
taxes, if passed on to consumers,
would represent a very small
percentage Of the retail prices at
which these products sell.
"In addition, since the pro-
posed rates are, with the excep-
ton mentioned, far below the
level Of the rates previously in
effect under the AAA, it is not
believed that collection Of these
taxes would cause any appre-
Ciable hardship or burden"
INSURE FARM REVENUE
Wallace urged taxation of the
commodities to insure the farmer
a continuous source of revenue,
adding:
"Great emphasis should be
given to the fact that each one
Of the great agricultural pro-
grams advocated by farmers
since 1920 contained q provision
for an adequate and q cOntinu.

SOVIET TO REFUSE
JOB INSURANCE TO
FIGHTING DRINKERS

MOSCOW, June 8. (UP):-So-
cial insurance benefits will be de-
MED to Soviet workers whose H.

Those persons becoming i'll be-
cause of heavy drinking will be
refused relief for a short period
of their illness, or until the hang
over wears off, according to the
unions proposal.
The program was revised when
the trade unions found that "trau-
matism of daily life" or injuries
sustained by an individual in the
ordinary conduct of his affairs,
swallowed between, IT and 18 per
cent of social insurance relief
funds, amounting in such cases to
more than 2O0,000,000 roubles an
nually. A considerable part of
this large sum was found to have
been paid for injuries sustained
as the result of drinking and
rowdy conduct. ..

us to cover much territory at

ask for a second-class pass, fear

a third we are most grateful. Rid

much better than on rough bus
