projects have been ideal. They have
given the young men q chance. They
have been fair and they have left the
selection for the most part to regional
juries 10 that the murals have re-
fiected the taste and needs of the COM

There were few arguments among
the judges as they moved slowly

III The award, they said, is being held
up until latest data on foreign con-

relationship between American and

it extremely difficult to arrive at a fair

struction costs to make up for lower

Bids on building of the new liner
were opened by the commission several

KANSAS CITY, September "a
Twenty-Five States joined forces
against committing criminals" today
in a compact for uniform control OF
paroled convicts.
Other objectives of the Interstate
Commission on Crime-made up OF
State onicials and created slightly less
than two years ago-are uniform laws
on fresh pursuit (chasing across
boundary lines), extradition and at
tendance of witnesses
Chairman Richard Hartshorne
county Judge, Newark. N. j., said 2s
States have adopted at least part of
the program.
The section being crystallized first
provides that PAROLES or probationers
may not go into another State without
that States notification and consent.
Hartshorne pointed out this would stop
such practices as "banishment pa
roles" or "parolee dumping"
Paroled men will be permitted to
make a new start where conditions
are best for them, he explained, and
under supervision matching that Of
the State which paroled them.
Two Governors-Harold G.. Hoff-
man Of New Jersey and Richard C.

commissions preliminary meeting.
Hartshorne gave particular credit
to the American Legion for the COM
pact's progress through the various
legislatures.

mere handful OF officials in the 48
States, while having the skill and the

PUBLISH PORTION
OF CIVIL AIR CODE
First lnstaIIment of New
Rules Appears in Fed
eraI Register.

The first instailment of a complete
new code of civil air regulations for
the United States was published to-
day in the Federal Register, prelimi-
nary to a tentative effective date OF
November /.
Occupying 102 columns in the Reg
lister, today's installment includes nine
chapters dealing chiefly with air line
and air worthiness laws and will be
followed by several more groups Of
regulations until the entire new code

the result of more than a year of
work under the direction of Fred D.
F'agg, Jr., present director of air COM
merce, and Prof. John H. Wigmore,
dean Of the School of Law OF North
western University. Fagg's work was
largely instrumental in bringing about
his appointment last March to the
post OF director, vacated by the resig-
nation Of Eugene l.. Vidal.
Since Faggs appointment Prof.
Wigmore has been assisted by How
ard Knox in completing the recodifi-
cation.
Although the work was devoted
chiefly to eliminating Implications,
ambiguous phrases and minor errors
in the body of the civil regulations. a
number OF important changes have
been made. especially in the airline
regulations and air worthiness re-
quirements. These changes have been
based on conferences between Fed
raj ofhcias and representatives Of the
aviation industry during the past
year.
The chapters included in the first
group selected for, publication cover
aircraft registration certificates, air.
craft certificates, aircraft identifica-
tion markers, aircraft title transfers,
airplane air worthiness, aircraft en-
gine air worthiness, aircraft propeller

LEGION TREASURY

New National Commander

+ -canism Comes First.
BIZ the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
= NEW YORK, September 24.-Danie,
J. Doherty, stocky Woburn, Mass, at.
torney and veteran of the Navy, took
command of the American Legion to-
day with promise there would b
no raids on the national treasury
during the next year.
~ Speaking just before he sailed for
(. France at midnight to take part in
The veterans pilgrimage to World
War battlefields, the newly elected
Rational commander likewise coun-
.seled Legionnaires to take their stands
tson labor controversies "as private
citizens, not as Legionnaires.
~ THE American Legion and each
individual Legionnaire must preserve
law and order when called upon by
the legal authorities" Doherty said
He specified, however, that mo in
dividual post or department has the
Srlght to decide who is right or wrong
IN such disputes"
- The new commander said the
@aLegion's policies will be carried out
$by the National Executive Committee
according to the dictates of the con-
%yention, but added that:
: s First of all, the promotion of
ESAmericanism will be my objective
secondly, will come placing the wives
@oi veterans on the same level as wives
Of veterans Of previous wars in re-
celvlng pensions. There will be, how
ever, no raids on the national treas
ury' for further pensions"
sDoherty was elected at the closing
session of the Legion's convention
after a lively contest with Ray Kelly
OF Detroit. The election was made
unanimous on Kelly's motion after the
roll call gave Doherty majority. He
succeeds Harry w. Colmery, Topeka,
Kans.
Rev. Frank j. Lawler, Jacksonville
Ill, Catholic priest who served in
the Artillery during the war, was
elected chaplain by unanimous vote
on the motion of an opponent, Rev
John Bellamy, Massena, N. Y.
AS most of the estimated half-mil-
lion Legion visitors departed New
York settled back into vorkadav
existence that held in the immediate
future nothing more exciting than
an election, the Notre Dame-Army
foot ball game and few other minor
incentives for thrills.
The Legion had blasted New York,s
assumption that no convention could
cause more than ripple in its dav-
to-day surface; it had smacked over
crowd and celebration records right
and left.
For instance:
~ The city's telephone traffic on Mon
dAy-8,552, 900 calls-exceeded that on
any other Monday in city history.
with the possible exception OF the
: Monday following the Wall Street
crash in 1929.
SUBWAY traffic on parade day to-
tailed 7,0o0,433 fares-2,5551Se above
normal for the day.
~. Yet, with all the tomfoolery and
general spirit Of fun, hotel men un-
crossed their fingers and generally
agreed that the Legion would be vel
come any time.
We had less damage during the
last tour days than we have had from
some OF our foot ball crowds" said
lne manager of one hotel that was
most to $500 veterans.

years.
Becoming interested in aviation
about year ago, Wilson won the
praise of his teachers when he learned
to solo after only hours and 20 min

ambition to become a transport pilot

the plane.

hicles of the Arlington & Fairfax Auto
| Railroad Co. in the District to pro-
vide connection between its Rosslyn,
Va, terminal and downtown Washing
ton, again is being considered by the
Public Utilities Commission, on a new
plea by the company.
The commission was asked to ap-
prove route which would permit the
company to operate its service to a
Washington terminal at Pennsylvania
and Constitution avenues, but the
company stated it did not propose to
operate local" service in the Dis
| trict.
The company's petition, filed late
yesterday, proposes delivery service
for baggage and mail, in addition to
the passenger service.
A similar petition, made nearly two
years ago. was rejected by a Joint
board consisting of members of the
District Committee and the Virginia
State Corporation Commission, and its
~AANAiSo "SAC dNNCPuCo ny lllS
state Commerce Commission.
The board held that the company
had not proved the District service
met the convenience and necessitv"
rule. Since that time the company
has established the auto-railer service
from Rosslyn to Green Valley, Va,
and from Rosslyn to Fairfax, Va, via
Clarendon, Falls Church, Vienna and
Oakton. The company now has II
"auto-railers" and has the option to
buy five more.
The proposed route in the District
would be from Rosslyn over Key
Bridge, east on M street and PennsyI-
vania avenue, south on either Twenty
NTH or Twenty-sixth streets, south
east on Virginia avenue and east on
Constitution avenue to Pennsylvania
