FACTION OPPOSING GIANT AIR FORCE GETS IN SOME
 HARD LICkS IN THE HOUSE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 28.-The principal cooling influence on the ardor of the House for big military appropriations is Rep. Ross A. Col lins of Mississippi who considers the administration has been fright ened off the deep end on it's air program.
 He is member or the House subcommittee on War Department appropriations and used to be chairman of it. The hazards of politics took him out of office in 1885 so he lost his seniority and the chairmanship went to Representa- tive Snyder of Pennsylvania
 Nevertheless Collins packe d enough influence in the committee to win at least a technical modifi- cation of the big air program. And throughout the hearings on the supplemental military appropriation bill he was persistent gadfly in questioning of Army officers.
 He obtained an admission from General Craig, army chief of staff, that he was mot in on" designing the expanded air program, al though he now approves it fully.
 RESERVE IDEA ATTACKED
 As part of it's program for $500 airplanes the Air Corps estimated that approximately 40 per cent, or 2,200 of them, would be held in re- serve for emergency. A few would be used while the active" planes were in the repair shops.
 Supported by some Republican strength on the committee, partic- ularly by Representative Powers of New Jersey, Collins proposed that only a small portion of this 40 per cent reserve be built. He painted picture of fields of idle airplanes growing obsolete month after month, spelling in the sun and rain. How could the Army come forward with demands for newer types in year or two years from now while it's fields were full of un- used models of the present pro- gram.
 Collins and company proposed that the 2.200 reserve planes be built only if the President consid- cred them necessary for military defense. They got part way with the argument. The Army explain ed that it had already ordered 560 pursuit type planes and if the whole reserve were withheld the air force would be unbalanced with too many pursuit types.
 A compromise was reached by which LOOT of the reserve numbers should be built, leaving to the President the decision whether the balance of the 2,200 should be add ed later
 CUT TRIAL ORDER FUND
 The same Collins group on the committee succeeded in cutting the educational orders" appropriation from $33,000,00O to S14,250,000.
 As amended, the bill has to sur vive both the House and Senate, where there persists really solid body of preparedness fervor.
 Powers tried but missed by a mile, in an effort to get General Craig to agree that the war danger

Plans 10 Train 500
New U. 5. Surgeons
Each Year Revealed
Highly Skilled Service
For Averoee-Income
Families Sought
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,
Associated Press Science Editor.

FhocoSAoeSN = 1SASAASS ANAsSA'
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16.-Plans
to train 500 new American surgeons
each year, to give the average income
man the highly skilled surgery which
has belonged largely to the rich and
the INDECENT, were announced by the
American College of Surgeons today.
The plan is three-year system of
supertraining in surgery which, it
Is hoped, will ultimately raise the
crop of completely trained new sur
geons yearly to 600 or more and
spread them into the rural districts
instead of having only enough to
concentrate in the cities.
The college announced the names
of 381 hospitals, including five in
Canada, which have been approved
for this kind of training. The move
sets up an official medical standard
IN surgery, to replace voluntary
training methods of the past which
produced many surgical supermen
but at the same time others who
were not fully trained.
List Expected to Grow.
Three years study of surgical
problems preceded today's selection
Of the 381 institutions. This list is
not fixed and it is expected to grow
as the idea of better trained sur
geons spreads.
One new principal of the training
will be to broaden the surgical
knowledge of men who specialize in
restricted fields of surgery.
The approved training hospitals
include 153 Government institutions,
188 community hospitals and %
church hospitals. Report of the
plan was made by Harold. Barn
heart, M. D., assistant director of
the American College of Surgeons.
The college also today announced
its approval of 2,720 hospitals, an
an-time high. This approval means
that these hospitals have the best
and most complete equipment avail
able, fully-rounded medical stats
and unimpeachable records of put
ting the patients welfare first.
Government Hospitals Lead.
This approved list is Sc over last
year. 1t includes 224 hospitals in
Canada, 4 in China, 3 in Cuba, l in

France (the American Hospital in

The highest percentage Of ap-
prevails went to United States Gov
ernment hospitals. The college ap-
proved 159 of these, all except six
of those examined.
The total number of hospitals in
the United States was given last
year by the American Medical As
sociation as 6,166. Many of these,
however. are too small to qualify for
the approved" list.

MOCK WARFARE OF
 NAVY HAS BEGUN

Miami, Fla, Feb. 23-(UP)-Lat- est messages from President Roose- velt's Flagship Houston, participat- ing in fleet maneuvers l,500 miles east of the Panama Canal, reported today that the mock warfare had begun with sharp engagements between scouting and detached ships.
 A message to temporary White House offices here from Capt. Dan- iel J. Callaghan, naval aide to the president, said:
 "The president in the U. S. s Houston is proceeding leisurely toward the theater of fleet opera tons. Calm seas and balmy light airs prevail. Wednesday being the anni- versary of the birthday of Washing ton, national salute of 2l guns was fired at noon by the Houston in accordance with time-honored cus- tom.
 Reports of the initial operations of the opposing fleets indicate that several sharp engagements resulted from contacts of scouting and de- tached groups with consequent prob ably changes in subsequent opera tons. Contact between scattered light forces have been numerous out in the Atlantic ocean well to the east of the West Indies"

 Concerning the accusation tho ail. ditor included c part oS the proceed. Ing administration in his report, the Socialist mayor asserted:
 If they want to 60 back that far why don't they 90 back 2i years and tie in their own administration" The mayors fighting attitude as he finally gained admittance to the governors suite indicated the fate of the socialist.Republican coali- ton in the Senate might be deter- mined by the result of the confer- ence

HINES IS MAKING
 HIS LAST FIGHT
Attorney Stryker Loses Two Motions to Strike
 Out Some Testimony

New York, Feb. 23- (UP) -The defense began today the summation t hopes will clear Tammany Dis trict Leader James J. Hines of racket charges after losing two mo- tons to strike out certain testimony against him and two others for dis misgai of the indictment.
 Lloyd Paul stryker, counsel tC the former blacksmith who became a power in Tammany Hall, moved court opened today to eliminate certain portions of testimony ci Julius (Red) Williams, a negro election district captain for Hines and John r. Curry, one time chief tain of Tammany.
 Williams. hostile state witness had denied any knowledge of the 120, ,00O, ,000-a-year policy racket or Of Dutch Schultz connection with 1t Hines is accused Of selling his poli- tical influence to Schultz. Curry had testified that Hines spoke to him about police transfers and was a strong supporter Of the candidacy of William c. Dodge for district attorney.
 stryker contended that Ctirryt testimony was suspicion" rather than legal evidence. Judge Charles c. Mott overruled him.
 The attorney then asserted that the count of the indictment relating to conspiracy to conduct lottery had been outlawed by the statute oi limitations. He argued also that the i2 felony counts were not supported by the evidence.
 "The evidence Is in and has been for a long time." the court ruled in denying the motions. If an error was made the damage is done"
 District Attorney Thomas E Dewey argued briefly that there waa ''uncontradicted" evidence to show that the defendant "did in fact conspirc within the two year period covered by the statute of iimita tons ana that Hines received money in the two year period"

Election Of Pope May Come Quickly

Vatican City, Feb. 23.--tUP) -The conclave of cardinals which will elect . 262d Pope In succession to Pope Plus xi Is likely to last only two or three days it was forecast today. The cardinals will meet March 1. They will take their first ballot next morning and thereafter will ballot twice . day until . new Pope is chosen hy . two. thirds vote. Vatican observers expected the cardinals to agree quickly in order to show . united church front in contrast to the divisions evident throughout the lay worid.
 The opinion in authoritative quarters seemed Co be that the question of | non. n.Itaiian Pope must be deferred until some ia- ter election.
 The opinion was growing too that the next Pope would be an "evangclicap rather than a "politicar one. It would be exc pccted that # . purely religious minded Pope were elected he would nams . political, minded secretary of state, 50 that while he kept aloof from world strug- gles, the church at the same time would be in touch with world developments.
