these matters and feel that they
are inter-related
81 approve the restoration to
your active calendar OF these ap-
plications. It seems to me that
that part of the decision relating
to the proposed through service
south from the New York area has
a close relationship to the proper
air service pattern in the Carib-
bean and Lat America.
TT is, therefore, my feeling that
such service should be considered
in connection with your plans for
the development of air transport
tation to our neighbors in the Ca
ribbean and in Central and South
America.
"Of course, this proposal relates
only to the through service and
has nothing to do with the various
local services applied for in the
case.
"Under the circumstances, I am
returning the proposed decision
without either approving or dis
approving it. I shall be very much
interested in plans which may be
developed by your board to pro-
vide such an integrated air sys-
tenn as will serve the development
of air transportation for our neigh
bors and ourselves.
The pending case had its incep-
ton more than three years ago
when a group G. Atlantic Seaboard
leaders organized the Atlantic
Coastal Cities Air Service associ-
alton and elected Mayor Henry W..
Lockwood, of Charleston, as pres
ident.
The association was formed to
seek approval of an airline ex-
tension that would connect Allan
tic coastal cities having COM
munity OF interest.
Following its organization, asso-
citation leaders talked informally
with officials of several airlines
and found only Sigmund Janas,
president of Colonial, sufficiently
interested to work with them con-
sistently although Pennsylvania
Central was represented at an as
ISOLATION meeting called to discuss
plans for the program.
1t was not until after Janas an
nounced intention to file with the
CAB an application for the extern
sion that the other four lines threw
the case into litigation by also fill
ing applications for similar routes
to those sought by Colonial.
The association has stuck by Co.
lonlal throughout the almost four
years since the beginning. Mayor
LOCKWOOD brought his board of di-
rectors to Washington for the 1943
annual meeting of the ACCASA.

SEVEN DAY SLUMP
FAILS TO AFFECT
LEAD SERIOUSLY
Vern Stephens Within Two
Points OF Falling From
Top Ten

CHICAGO, Sept. 14.-(P)-Luke
Appling of the Chicago White Sox
may be trying so hard to win that
American League batting cham
pionship that he has lost sight OF
the fact he needs a few base hits
in the last seven days, but re-
markabl is still out in front.
Despite that one weeks trudg-
ing at an .O91 clip, Appling found
his seasons average slumplng
only 10 points to 1921 up to TO-
days games, and the White Sox
shortstop has six point lead over
Dick Wakefield of Detroit, who is
hitting .315.
Guy Outright of the White Sox,
in third place, is the only other
American Lacquer over the 300
level, and he's barely in with 1902.
The others of the top are Roger
Cramer of Detroit at .299, Bill
johnson of New York and Pete
Fox of Boston tied at .290, Oris
Hockett of Cleveland at .289, Roy
Cullenbine of Cleveland at .207,
George Case of Washington at .206,
and Vernon Stephens of St. Louis
at .284.
Stephens, who was the league
leader for much of the first part
of the season, was within two
points of dropping out OF the top
ten entirely, the official statisti-
clans figures showing him just a
point ahead of Pinky Higgins OF
Detroit.
Detroit Tiger players monopo-
lized most of the specially hitting
departments. Wakefield led in to-
tai hits with It's and in doubles
with 80, and Rudy York showed
the way in home runs with 81,
runs batted in it'll 105, and tied
with Johnny Lindell of New York
for most triples, each having 10.
Case was the stolen base leader
with AZ.
Spud Chandler Of New York still
had the best pitching record with
10 victories and three defeats, with
Hal Newhouser Of Detroit the
strikeout king with 1877.

tinued.
Mr.. Cameron intimated that 1t
was unfair for the present citizens
to have to stand the major taxa
tion-load that supports those faclll-
ties also available to persons llv-
ing just beyond the city limits.
He asked for NOR equable tax
rates for city and county residents.
In his resume of city govern
ment activity, Mr.. Cameron ex-
planned the necessity for mante-
nance of the sinking fund, now
amounting to $500,000. IL will be
applied I retirement OF the clty's
heavy bonds within a few years,
and a part of it will be used for
repairs and replacemements in the
city's equipment as soon as the
war is over and materials can be
purchased. There are already 3d.
no. 900 in bonds to be paid off,
and bonds for the new water plant
will add 100000 more.
Mayor Cameron praised the con-
tribution of the city-manager form
of government. He also advocated
full support of the recreation pro-
gram now being formulated, and
complete development and use of
the city's park system.
Garland Palmer introduced the
speaker.
Announcement was made by Ro-
tary President Richard S. Rogers
that the clubs board Of directors
had approved the participation of
Rotary officers in the Chamber of
Commences proposed monthly dis
cussion sessions.
1t was revealed that the club
had purchased $500 Treasury
bond.

Debate Opens on
Foreign Policy

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-UP)-
Sen. John A. Danaher, r., Conn,
proposed today that the United
States predicate it's cooperation in
postwar peace machinery on a
condition that participating ma
tions forego territorial gains as a
result of the present war
This and other points in pro
posal by Danaher would incor-
porate in the Senate's postwar col
liberation resolution the essential
points of the Atlantic charter The
charter was promulgated by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Winston Churchill in August, l941,
and later was subscribed to by the
other United Nations.
Danaher made the proposal as
the senate began the most signi-
ficant foreign policy debate since it
rejected adherence to the league of
nations.
OPENS DEBATE
Chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex,
of the Senate Foreign Relations
committee, opened the debate by
telling his colleagues his resolution
for postwar collaboration to main
tain peace provides the framework
within which the makers of the
treaty may provide the detailed
structure"
But Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla,
demanded immediate full-dreSs de-
bate of the limits to which a peace
treaty could go in the matter of
international cooperation. Pepper
introduced a substitute on behalf
of a group of senators wishing to
revise the resolutions language to
clarity and strengthen" its mean
ing.
Danaher offered a two page
amendment containing definitions
for virtually every word in Con-
nally's brief resolution which would
put the senate on record as favor
ing prosecution of the war to COM
plete victory" cooperation with the
Allies in securing lust and hon.
orable peace" and postwar col
laboration with other nations in
international authority with power
to prevent aggression and preserve
the peace of the world"
Danaher proposed that the word
peace" be defined to mean IAN
agreement designed to result in
state of tranquility to be enjoyed
by political society, marked intern
ally within the several nations by
the good order which prevails
among peoples, and externally by
good understanding with all other
nations"
ADOPT AS STANDS
Indications were that the Senate
will adopt the Connally resolution
Imperial Valley press., 1943-10-25

as it stands despite efforts of Pep
per and his group to make it favor
participation in an international
police force to maintain peace.
"The people of the United States
hunger for peace" Connally declar-
ed. They dream of the establish
ment of international authority to
prevent aggression and to preserve
the peace of the world. The ambi-
ton cannot be achieved by the
United States alone. 1t requires
the cooperation of other strong and
powerful nations"
Therefore, he declared, it is i'm
possible for the Senate to blueprint
in advance the final machinery for
international cooperation. He said
the Senate's task at this time, in
fulfillment of its constitutional
authority to advise in the matter
of treaties, is to express its "senti-
mentS and intentions with respect
to any treaty which may be nego-
tiated."
The resolution has been at
tackled as being general in it's

American troops, driving
