Slow progress in the recruiting of Battery G, 208th coast artillery, anti aircraft, was reported last evening by Captain Grover c. Baldwin, with 30 men signed up so far.

 paign For Nomination

Attorney Michael V. Blansfield, who is campaigning for the state senatorial nomination in the 18th district, told a large group of sup porters at a meeting last night that he would conduct his campaign on the basis of appealing to the intel ligence of the voters.
 Speaking to members of his finance committee, MT. Blansf1eld said:
 I won't issue any fiamboyant statements, but only ask the voters to stick to the facts and choose ac- cordingly. I am going to appeal to the voters solely on the basis of their intelligence and simply to ask them to send to the senate one who will properly represent the interests of the 18th district and the city"
 "We're not going to harrangue people of the district with a whole lot of nonsense" MT. Blans- field said. We're only going to ask them to think over the matter calm It W was announced that plans for rallies and meetings would be made at a meeting of the rally commit tee at MT. Blansfleld,s office on Grand street Friday night.

Most Americanized, and one of the most democratic of South Amer ican countries, Colombia can prob ably be counted on to bolster plans for western hemisphere political cooperation and defense.
 A national registration of more than 5000 foreigners in Colombia has just been completed. The Co., lombian government is taking no chances with foreign influences. The census of foreigners includes infor- nation as to their occupation, and whether they are still following the occupations they listed at the time of their entry.
 Since 1924, foreigners have been required by law to renew their "ce- dulas' or identification cards every three years. Many have failed to do so, and fines are now being im- posed. The government is particu- larly anxious to have record of occupations of foreigners" It seems most intent on keeping their activi- ties under complete control. PROPAGANDISTS
 CURED BY RADIO
 Nazis, Facists and Communists are denied radio broadcasting facili- ties for propaganda purposes, and political speeches sharply critical of the present government are drowned upon. Otherwise radio broadcasts are quite free.
 "We wish to avoid commentators leaning toward either side in the European war;" broadcasting execu- tives explain. "No scripts are re- quired in advance, though copies of spoken broadcasts must be kept on file"
 Some studios here in the north, and also in the capital, Bogota, are

accused of German coloring" of the news. But officials of those stations deny it, asserting that ab- solute neutrality is their policy. As evidence, they cite the wide variety Of press services from which they draw their news; Reuters (English) /, Transocean (German), Havas (until recently French and the American press associations.
 President Eduardo Santos has taken the lead in urging citizens to maintain 8 neutral attitude in line with the governments official policy.
 There are some 90 broadcasting stations in the republic, and execu- tives here in Barranquilla are proud of their newly installed long-wave antennae and studio transmitters; they are prouder still of letters from listeners in the United States. "Ra- dlo can become the most powerful instrument of all for cementing Pan American ties if handled properly" these radio men say.
 TIRED OF
 SCADTA TALK
 Government officials are irritated at reports that in the United States "the Scadta issue is still being kicked around" They believe any menace this German-Sponsored line might be to the Panama Canal has been completely liquidated. Here are the facts of the Scadta case, on the basis of which Colombian au- thorities would like to see the whole thing dropped and forgotten:
 Private German capital came into Colombia after the World War, found 8 country dependent on slow water and undependable rail trans port, and decided to utilize war pilots ot start a commercial ariways business.
 Thus started the first commercial airline in South America. Formed in 1920, the company was called the Sociedad Colombiana Alemana de TranSporteS Aeros (Scadta). The line proSpered. Passenger and freight schedules reached out to all the principal Colombian cities, and connected with Ecuador and Pana- ma.
 Six years ago Pan American bought the controlling stock of Scadta, but left German managers ard pilots in charge.
 When war threatened in Europe, Colombia became anxious for better control over airlines. It passed laws requiring Colombian pilots, mechan- ics and office staffs. The Germans

largely disregarded the warning, and Pan American brought no pressure, since the lines were doing well. But when war actually broke, the Co., lombian government grew serious Pan American and the Colombian government bought out Scadta, which became Avianca. It was a fair deal, and most of the remaining German stockholders did not object. NO GERMANS
 OVER PANAMA
 Today Pan American, owns con- siderably more than 50 per cent of the stock of Avianca. The re- main6er belongs to the Colombian government and Colombian citizens The government has an option to buy Pan Americans stock, but is not expected to exercise it.
 No German pilots are flying over Panama or Colombia. All German employees of the former Scadta line have been dismissed, save few of- flee workers. Pilots, mechanics, and operations personnel of German citizenship have been let out though some have remained in the country. Seventeen pilots and their families recently returned to Ger many.
 Four airlines now operate in Co., lombia: Pan American, Royal Dutch AirlineS, Avianca, and a local com pany for interior transport, UNCA
 The real threat, Colombian off, cials feel, is internal depression and decreased export markets due to the war. This means decreased pur- chasing power for the Colombian masses, and any real threat to American interests lies here-not in any air-transport menace to the Panama Canal.
