tee Warns Congress
Nation Is Dropping
Behind as Europe Elk
pands Its Aviation;
Asks Best Air Corps In
World Here

Washington, Jan. 9.-(AP)- The
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics warned Congress today
that "feverish' expansion of military
and commercial air fleets by foreign
nations was challenging America s
aviation leadership.
The committee, which does research
into the science of flying, recommen !
ed the establishment of a laboratory
to experiment with airplane struc-
lures at is not only a good policy
from a financial standpoint" it's an
nual report said, "but also vital from
the standpoint of national defense
that American aircraft have a per-
Torrance equal or superior to that Of
potential enemy.
"Mere numbers of aircrafts, how
ever, are not in themselves sufficient
for an adequate modern air force. It
is of even greater importance that
the aircraft be of the most effective
design"
The committee declared that "the
crisis in Europe in the fall of 1893
brought forcibly to worldwide atten-
ton the overshadowing influence Of
air power in international affairs"

Outlook Anything But
Bright for Accord
With Mussolini; To
Stop In Paris A S
Gesture of Support;
Week May Be Most
Decisive Since Munich

London, Jan. 9.-(AP)-Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain leaves for
Rome tomorrow for what many be-
lieved today would be his final eff
fort to push through his policy of ap-
peasing the relationships.
The outlook was anything but
bright as the premier conferred with
his key ministers today. The civil
war in Spain, now two and half
years old, was the first obstacle be
tween the dictator, Benito Mussolini,
and Chamberlain, 'the business man."
Although under the Anglo-Italian
agreement signed last April and ac-
cepted by Parliament November g.
Italy agreed to withdraw her troops
from Spain, her newspapers openly
admit Italians are fighting there now
for insurgent Generalissimo Franco.
Many in Europe believe the trip
may mark the most decisive week
since Munich, with both relationships
and democracies anxious for peace,
but each at its own price
The premier will pass through Paris
and stop there long enough for a
meeting with Premier Daladier to-
give a symbolic demonstration of his
sympathy with France against Ital-
ian agitation for French "Tunis, Car
sica and Nice"

Budget Commission, which will re-
fleet Governor Clyde r. Hoey's views
on what the State can spend in the

Contents of the report are always

But however we'll guarded they be,
there are many features of the re-

Hull offered the world today the
principles adopted by the eight Par

The secretary of state and chiee
United States delegate to the recent

Hull, ending his six and a half
weeks journey to South America,
added:

the conviction that it's results will
have real and permanent value, and
that as time goes on the far reaching
effects of principles there enunciat-
ed will become more apparent and
more significant"
Thanked by other members of the
American delegation, the secretary of
state characterized the Lima meet
ing las an example for the conduct
of international relations by friendly
discussions rather than by force or
violence"
He called attention to the impor
lance of a resolution adopted at Lima
for reduction of trade barriers at
home at moment when economic
chaos is existing in considerable parts
of the world" The declaration of con-
tinental solidarity for defense, Hull
said, represents great progress be-

Compromise Now Talked
On Crop Control Issues

common ground so far is the so-calleG
domestic allotments plan. Last year,
this plan lost in the Senate 46 to 40.
Basically, it provides for division
of the domestic markets among AM
erican growers, with a guaranteed
"fair price" for the amount that is
consumed in the United States. Far
mers would be permitted to produce
all they wanted to, but they would
have to take what they could get on
the world markets for anything in
excess of their share of the domestic
consumption. Proponents contend this
could result in voluntary" crop con-
.fol.
Under the present law, farmers are
given subsidy to reduce production
so that price depressing SURPRISES may
be kept from the market.

Fiorello Laguardia of New York de-
clared today that the 100000 re-
quested by President Roosevelt to
keep WPA going to June 80 was $4O,-
100000 too low.
Laguardia appeared before House
appropriations subcommittee as pres
ident of the United States Conference
of Mayors.
He said the $915, 100000 supplement
tai appropriation he was asking for
WPA would bring the total outlay for
the relief agency for the year ending
June 30 to the $2,340 100000 sum sug-
gested by the mayors last April. La
guardia's suggestion ran counter to
the apparent desire of the sub-commit-
tee to reduce President Roosevelt's
estimates. Further WPA spending aid
past relief expenditures together pro-
vided fresh debate in both House and
Senate.
Besides Laguardia, the House group
called WPA Administrator F. c. Har-
rison; David LASER, of the Workers
Alliance, and Ralph Hetzell, of the
CIO. The CLIO wants a $1,000, OCO, 900

Maryland in the 1850s, with the
bitter struggle between the rail
road and stage coach lines forming
the theme of a stirring story which

background.
Moving at GREATNESS pace, with
hand-to-hand battles, gun fights,

and saloon brawls studding the ac-
ton, Stand Up and Fight" lives
up to the vigorous connotation of
it's title Berry and Taylor are in
fine fettle, Berry typical in a
made -to-order role as the hard
boiled manager of the stage coach
line, and Taylor combining the TO-
mantle and the two-fisted.
