AVIATION BOOM
due TO FOLLOW
new MEASURE.
Lea Backs Scheme to
Aid Civil Flying
By WILLIAM S. NEAL

G.N.SO A boom in the Amer
lean aviation industry, with al
least $20,000,000 new capital be
ing poured into it, will follow
enactment of the new civil aero
nautics bill, Chairman Clarence
Lea CD of California, of the
House Interstate Commerce Com
mittee, predicted today.
The measure, which vitality al
fectS the entire industry, has been
agreed upon by Senate-House con
ference committees, and final pas
sage next week appears certain.
SETS UP BOARD
The measure, sponsored by Lea
after conferences with a PreSi.
Dental committee, sets up a Civil
Aeronautics Authority to be com
posed of five persons. A safety
board of three members is created,
and a one-man administrator also
is established.
The new commission would
have authority to regulate pas
senger and air-mail rates, prevent
discrimination in foreign aviation
and prevent cut-throat compen-
ton by limiting operations.
I'VE had about reached the
point where development Of civil
aviation was dependent upon
enactment of this BILL" said Lea.
MANY air lines are in bad finan.
cial condition, and many would
have had to suspend without as
surance of legislation. -
st am confident that we Will
have real advancement in civil
aviation now that a complete,
practical regulatory pattern has
been proposed.
This new bill will stabilize the
industry, particularly as to the
financial situation confronting
the lines, and thus pave the way
for orderly advance"
TERMS OF PLAN
Under terms of the measure, all
contract rights given pursuant 10
Congressional action are validated.
Contracts can be let by the Post
office Department for air mail
rates up to the effective date OF
the act, which is so days after pas
sage.
Pay of pilots is stabilized by
adopting an existing agreement,
made with approval of the Labor
Board. for all major lines.
One Of the first Jobs of the new
authority is expected to be an ex-
animation of the present air mail
contracts, with an increase which
will assure the lines of being able
to operate at a profit.

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy,
June 4 Q.NSD.-America as a
"bulwark of Catholicism" was
lauded by Pope Plus today in a
brief address to 100 American pill
grims.
The Americans all were return
ing from the Eucharistic Congress

the occasion to denounce German
government for it's restrictions
which kept Catholics from the con-
greSS.
THOSE IN GROUP
The American groups included
80 from Philadelphia, headed by
the Rev. Joseph McShea; 20 from
Los Angeles, led by the Rev. John
Flack; is from Denver. led by Ed
ward Woeber, and 81 from Brook

you are a truly imposing
group" the pontiff told the
Americans.
AlCQOuSn you COIIlS 1IO1ll u4A-
ferent parts, you are all 100 per
cent Americans.
Although your country is geo.
graphically distant, it is not so
spiritually. We can affirm that
spiritually America has always
been as near our hearts and our
thoughts as she is geographically
distant and great in expanse.
TREASURES OF PAST
"She has great Christian treas
ures from the past, and more
will come in a Catholic Christian
life in the future"
Turning to Germany, the Pope
continued:
THE Eucharistic Congress
witnessed a gathering of the
faithful from all over the world
with a few most unhappy ex-

Southern members informed the
joint conference committee they
would withdraw demands for diff
ferentials provided uniform freight
rates between the North and
South are written into the wage
hour legislation.
TENTATIVELY o. X.
One member Of the Southern
bloc said privately the compromise
proposal has already been tenta-
lively accepted by the IA confereeS,
although details of the freight rate
amendment have not yet been dis
cussed.
simultaneously, several con-
ferees raised the question whether
Congress had the power to write
freight rate schedules into wage
hour legislation in view of the
authority over railroads vested in
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
It was reported, however, that
Senate Southern members of the
conference committee have con-
ferred with ICC officials and are
prepared to present details of the
plan when the conferees convene
again today.
PUSH FOR COMPROMISE
The Southern conferees argued
that if Southern industry could be
assured of abolition of discrimina-
tory freight rates over similar
routes the money saved would
more than compensate for the cost
of complying with a wage-hour
bill.
The conferees, meanwhile, drove
toward speedy compromise Of
other controversial points n the
Senate and House bills, with pre-
dictions that a new bill will be
written and ready for final con-
gressional action Tuesday or
Wednesday.
They adopted a basic minimum
wage of Is cents an hour, below
which no labor standards board or
administrator of the wage-and-
hour act could grant exemptions.
CHILD LABOR CURB
The conferees also adopted the
child labor provisions of the
House bill which would require an
employer to obtain permission of
the Children's Bureau of the Labor
Department and consent Of par
entS, to employ children under is
years of age.
With the House minimum wage
rate of Is cents an hour agreed
upon, the conferees worked on the
escalator clause, which provides
that minimum wages shall be in.
creased to 40 cents an hour in
three years.
The conference reported prog
reSS" on ono of the most contro-
versial phases of the two bills
whether the act would be admin
istered by a board or by the
Labor Department.
Senator Thomas Cd of Utah,
chairman of the Senate Labor
Committee, predicted that eventu'
ally there would be established a
40 cents minimum wage and a 40
hour maximum work week.
The Washington times., 1938-06-04

would reach a speedy agreement
upon the relief bill was conceded
by all. With the Administration
in full control of the conference
rapid adjustment of all differences
between Senate and House bills
was believed certain.
WAGE.HOURS BILL
Senate and House managers or
the wage-hours bill we're reported
to be making progress in reconcil
ing the differences between House
and Senate measures.
So confident we're Administra
ton leaders that a plan for mini
mum wages and maximum hours
for employees in private industries
would be agreed upon within a
few days by the conferees that the
Senate today was in recess until
Tuesday noon.
With the far-flung relief bill
finally passed last night by the
Senate, the only major issue re-
naming in the way of adjourn
ment of Congress was the wage
hours measure.
Remaining on the tentative
agenda for final passage before
adjournment were resolution to
provide for a comprehensive in
vestigation of monopolistic trends
in industry and finance, and a
bill to revise the bankruptcy laws.
Senate Majority Leader Barley
of Kentucky expressed confidence
that Congress would call it quits
by the end of next week. He said
comparatively minor bills would be
acted upon by the Senate while it
awaited the Senate-House confer
ence reports on the relief and
wage-hour measures.
Despite this optimism Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's lieutenantS or
Capitol Hill there was a band Of
Republicans and conservative
Democrats who commended the bat
tie over wage-hour legislation was
far from over.
In the final showdown on the
relief-recovery bill, Administration
forces bowled over old-line Demo
Gratis and Republicans who had
been vocal in opposition to major
features of the bill and fell far

In a final session on the meas

ono to the measure, lifting the
total appropriations and author

monetary increases received scant
attention compared with the row
over alleged participation of relief
officials in politics.

LAND BANK OFFERS PLAN

A practical plan for helping Ian
bank borrowers set aside an extr'

during good crop years to meet thei
mortgage loan payments in loan years
thereby assuring steadier, progress to

last week by President E. M. Ehr

In simple terms the plan encourag

extra funds are available, for appli

err falling due cannot be met in tn
normal way.

An Old Story with Moral
There is an old story of politics in
New York in tho bad old days when
Big Tim Sullivan was something of a
car One office holder who owed his
appointment to Big Tim was confront
ed with charges and some of his
friends suggested to him that he should
offer his resignation and he made the
classical reply: Certainly not. 1 once
knew fellow who offered his resig-
nation and I'll be hanged if they did
Mt accept it. - imagine that the NOR
al of this story is in the mind OF ev-
cry cabinet officer. True, cabinet MEM
bers have resigned because they did
not agree with the policies of tho
President. William Jennings Bryan
for example, laid down his portfolio
when we approached war in 1917, but
do not recall any incident where
anybody offered his resignation In a
pique because in the Presidents judg-
ment some of his activities were
transferred to some other department.
