Strides Seen at Wars End

Former 1t. Walter Hinton. U. S. N.
reserve, speaking before the Takoma
Park Chamber OF Commerce In an
address last night in which he re-
called his experiences as pilot of the
first American airplane to fly the
Atlantic, predicted that great strides
in commercial aviation will be made
when the war ends.
He said distribution OF food will
not be major problem, that freight
will be moved across the country at
200 miles an hour. He warned that
airports are a matter to be receiving
immediate attention If this country
is to profit by the experience of
European countries.
In his recollections. 1t. Hinton
also told Of the first goodwill flight
from New York to Rio de Janeiro,
made in 1922, and of an epoch
making flight along the Amazon
River.
The chamber resolved during its
meeting to request District au-
thorities to revive the project for
widening and improving Eastern
avenue from New Hampshire to
Laurel avenues. The project was
shelved because Of the emergency.

Defense 10 Continue
Plea for Acquita|
In Bread Trial
Court Told Prosecution
Hos FuiIed to Make Out
Case Against Groceries

Defense arguments, In support Of
its motion for a directed verdict OF
acquittal, were slated to continue
today before Justice T. Alan Colds
borough In District Court in the
Sherman antitrust bread trial.
Attorney William E. Leahy was
prepared to continue his argument,
begun yesterday, in an effort to con-
vince Justice GoldSborough that the
Government has failed to make out
a criminal case In the presentation
of its testimony. The Government
has completed the offering OF its di-
rect evidence and Immediately the
defense asked the jurist to end the
trial.
-Four chain grocery concerns, two
labor unions, a dozen individuals
and others are on trial on charges
of conspiring to fix the price of
bread in the National Capital, in
violation of the Sherman antitrust
act.
Illegal Methods Charged.
Yesterday was given over to oral
arguments OF defense counsel on be-
half Of the motion for q directed
verdict OF acquittal. When the de-
fense attorneys have completed ar
guments on behalf of the motion,
the Government will offer reasons
why Justice Goldsborough should
order the trial to proceed. overruling
the defense plea. If this should be
done, the defendants would then
have to put on their case.
The defense arguments yesterday
we're featured by a demand by At
torney Joseph A. Padway. general
counsel of the American Federation
of Labor, that Attorney General
Francis Biddle should Immediately
order a Justice Department inquiry
into the Antitrust Division, which
is under the cabinet officers juris-
diction. Mr.. Padway told Justice
Goldsborough that the case on trial
was q sample of the illegal methods
that were being pursued by the
Anti Trust Division. which has been
harassing labor with unnecessary
suits, like the present one.
No Foundation In Fact
I'm charge Of the Antitrust Divi-
sion Is Assistant Attorney General
Thurman Arnold
II think Mr. Biddle should investi-
gate why the Antitrust Division
brought an indictment of this kind"
declared Mr.. Padway. He should
Investigate the expenditure OF large
sums Of money for prosecution Of
this character which have no foun-
dation In fact and no basis in law,
nor are they justified by the decla-

Recently employers have con-
demned activities of the Antitrust
Division. We of labor Join In this
condemnation, and we call upon the
Attorney General to make this in
