The puzzle of who was plotting
the huge airliner which crashed
near st. Thomas, Ont. claiming
20 lives, was apparently settled
Saturday when civil aeronautic an-
thority Inspectors discovered, bits
of the control apparatus in the
hands OF Pilot David ]. Cooper.

cries that something had happened

Despite the evidence. officials

was flying upside down. was partly

OF the ship. was standing upright

Failure Attributed
to Lille Practice
With Best Planes
BY PAUL MALLON

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The
army maneuvers showed a dismal
lack of coordination between the
air and infantry-primary essen
tial of modern war.
The boys did not even have the
beginnings of efficiency. Army
was so excited il threw intensified
efforts into three coordination
training centers Forts Benning
and Knox and Bowman Field just
getting under way.
Lack of practice with the best
equipped aircraft is given as the
reason for the failure. We pro-
dueed ! 800 planes in September OF
which 900 were trainers lacking
the best ground communication
facilities. OF the 1000 top notch
ers, most went 10 Britain.

u. 8. FIRMS PAY AXIS POWERS
Observation-Disclosures the senate
Is preparing to enact the lend-lease
bill committing this country to vast
OUTLAWS for Great Britain, certain
American firms are paying out hun
dreds Of dollars monthly to Ger
many and Italy, which funds are
being used to fight both the United
States and Britain.
This secret Axis aid is being de-
hvered in the form of royalty pay
ments on industrial formulas, trade
marks, copyrights and patents. The
money is paid in dollars and is de-
posted to German and Italian ac-
counts in New York banks.
The justice department, which has
conducted secret investigation,
has uncovered these. interesting
facts:
/. That the royalty payments are
now running around $5OO,O a
month. Of which Germany gets at
least 80 per cent
2. That a considerable portion of
the money was used by Germany
last year to buy U. S. goods for de-
livery to Latin American buyers, to
make good on contracts that Ger
many confidently had signed after
the fall of France but was unable
to fill, because of the mistaken Brit
ish blockade.
5. That Nazi and Fascist agents
have drawn on the funds to finance
racial and anti-defense propaganda
In this country; also anti-American
propaganda in South America.
4. That while U. S. firms fork
over their tribute in dollars, such
royalties as Germany and Italy pay
are in the form of blocked marks and
export Ira; that is, money that can
be spent only in Germany or Italy
Actually, the money levy is a Sec
ondary consideration. What really
worries the authorities is how much
vital military production information
these royalty agreements betray to
the Axis.
Since most royalties on patents are
paid according to the number of
units sold, it should be a simple
matter for the Axis to obtain de-
tailed figures on types and rate of
flow OF important materials to
the U. S. army and navy and to
Britain. Last year the justice de-
partment cracked down on Bausch
and Lomb when it discovered that
under a secret royalty agreement
the firm supplied the German licen-
sor with q detailed accounting of
certain instruments delivered to the
navy.

WILLKIE RATES CHURCHILL

Wendell Willkie went about for
the Presidents lend-lease bill, but
personally he doesn't like Mr..
Roosevelt any better than before.
Willkie made this clear to friends
following his conference at the
White House.
Winston Churchill, he indicated,
had it all over Roosevelt in ability
and personality, was much simpler
and more direct in manner"
There isn't anyone in America
quite like Churchill" Willkie said.
He was the most congenial COM
panion I've met in a very long time.
He has a gay buoyancy that is in
comparable"
Willkie also told his friends that
he had absolutely no intention of
taking job under Roosevelt.
1.-THE President hasn't offered me
anything" he said, land / hope he
doesn't because I'll turn it down.
One thing I don't want is an ap-
pointive Office. II war should come
l will enlist in the armed forces,
but I'm not taking a government
Job"
Willkie is still undecided what he
will do, but is leaning toward a re-
turn to law. He has been offered a
number of lucrative positions, one
carrying a salary of $l2O, 900 a year.

NEW FARM BOARD

After many years Of supporting
the New Deal farm program, the
powerful Farm Bureau federation
wants to set up a new government
farm agency which it would largely
dominate.
In backstage congressional con-
versations, the farm leaders have
proposed that the AAA, the soil con-
servation service and the farm Sc
curity administration be taken away
from the department of agriculture
and be made a completely sepa-
rate agency. Then they want a five
man board to run these important
bureaus
Naturally, they expect to have a
goodly representation Of members
on that board.
So far, Vice President Henry Wal
lace and Secretary Of Agriculture
Wickard are vigorously opposed. So
also is the President.
Note-Hcrbert Hoover established
a famous farm board to buy wheat.
It was a mess.
