 Mayor Miell mentioned a iail fire hall, boat harbor, cold stor- age plant and streets as possible ncluslons on the list and urged that action should be taken at once on the matter.
 Part of the council meeting was spent in a discussion, in which some of the public attend Ing the meeting participated, on Che police force, with some crit icIsm directed 10 the size of the force and its payroll. Although the discussion was quite extend. ed 1t resulted in no action.

Blankenburg also jump ed from his boat which had trav- elled some distance farther, and joined in the futile search. Crib -ble caught his clothing on snag on his second dive and had some difficulty getting lose, and the water in the vicinity became bad ly riled. That, coupled with the wind-roughened surface of the lake, limited visibility in the water to about 4 feet. None of the party saw Mrs. Helsel again.
 After searching and diving for half an hour some of the party came to town for help and notl- fled the MarshaPs office. The search continued until shortly before midnight.

Exclusive Air Express
Contracts Nu||ified
YCAB Decision
Eliminates Provisions
That Rutes Must Be
Twice Roll Costs
BY the Associated Press.

by llt associated FTeSS.
The Civil Aeronautics Board ap-
proved today revised contracts be-
tween IL airlines and Railway
Express. Inc, which will terminate
the express agency's exclusive right
to handle air express business and
will eliminate provisions that air
express rates may not be lower than
twice the rail express rates.
Both provisions are understood
to have been given consideration
by the Justice Department Anti
Trust Division during an investiga-
ton Of the transportation industry
which was abandoned some time
ago.
Air transportation has now
reached stage of development" "
the board said in a formal opinion,
at which it appears clearly essen
tial that the airlines be freed from
certain of the restrictions imposed
by the contracts in order that they
will be in a position to move in
whatever direction the public in
terest may require in the future in
the development of cargo service.
The contracts now revised pro-
vided that the air carriers will not
accept express business from any
person other than the express
agency and provided that the ex-
press agency will not make an
agreement with another air carrier
for similar service without meet
ing certain restrictive conditions
1t appeared to the board that these
restraints should be eliminated"

Chairman Bloom said today New
Zealand has made, for her size,
one of the greatest contributions
proportionately to the United Ma
tions war effort"
In statement referring to crit
lclsm made by certain papers con-
cerning conditions existing IN
New Zealand Representative
Bloom said:
The impression that New Zea-
land has built system of los air
fields with their own funds and
charged them to the United States
as reverse lease-lend is not accurate.
The accurate facts are these.
Only six new. airfields have been
constructed in New Zealand since
September l, 1889 The number of
alrfields in New Zealand enlarged
TO meet modern Operational require
ments since September l, 1899. has
been II. The figure of los quoted in
the press is the number of airfields
already in existence in New Zealand
in September, 1899.
All of these airfields were built
with New ZealandS own funds and
not with lease-lend funds. Although
some of the New Zealand fields have
been adapted to and made available
Tor the use OF our air forces in New
Zealand, no charge has been made
for them under reverse lease lend
or in any other way"

Over Forged Check
lulled Into False Security
By Misrepresentation
Of Government, 1t Says

Claiming that Government mis-
presentation" that certain forged
checks were genuine "lulled" the
defendant into sense of false Sc
curity, the National Metropolitan
Bank today filed an answer in Dis
trict Court to allegations made on
behalf of the Treasury that the
bank owes the United States
s3774265.
The National Metropolitan's an
sWer grew out of a suit filed re-
Gently by Assistant United States
Attorney Bernard j. Long, in which
the Government alleges it paid out
more than $4,000 to four local
banks on checks said to have been
forged by Samuel N. Hedges, former
superintendent of the Senate Office
Building Painting and Decorating
Shop. Hedges now is serving a 20
month to flve-year term for forgery.
He was sentenced March 27, 1912,
after pleading guilty.
Other banks sued by the Govern
ment for smaller sums in connec-
ton with the same alleged forgeries
are the Columbia National, the Ana
costa and the Hamilton National
Banks.
At the time the original suit was
filed, Mr.. Long explained that the
largest Government clalm-S37,-
74265-has been placed against the
National Metropolitan, which comes
into the suit. he said, because it
cleared checks of the Anacostia
Bank and cashed these with the
Treasury.
The Government alleges that the
four banks guaranteed Endorsements
on the forged checks and cashed
them with the Government and thus
are responsible for the sums in
volved.
In denying Government claims to &.
day, George c. Gertman, attorney
for the banks. wrote there was
nothing about the checks to indicate
they were bogus as they were normal
in form, each bore the stamp or
seal of the United States, each was
signed and validated by an officer
of the United States vested with au-
thority to sign checks in its behalf
in payment Of legitimate obliga-
tions."
The bank denies its Endorsement
on the checks amounted to a guar
entee of the payee's signature.

Nine. Chang Urges AEF
In China 10 Boost Morale
By tie Associated Press

BY tEe Associated PRESS.
NEW YORK, March 5.-An
American expeditionary force in
China to operate against Japan
would show the japanese that
America means business, Madame
Chang Kai-shek asserted today.
The wife of the Chinese generals
simo explained to a New York press
conference that in any war there
were two factors-the military and
that of morale.
If America sends planes and
munitions, Nine Chang said, China
has the manpower and that is the
military problem.
But, Nine. Chang declared, if
even a small contingent of an
American eXpeditionary force is
sent, it would show the people of
China, and more especially the
common foe. Japan, that America
means business.
Disclaiming any powers as a mill
tary strategist, the Generalissimo' S
wife said that nevertheless she
thought that the final push, the big
offensive and the decisive victory
to defeat Japan would have to come
from the mainland of China
Asked whether she would be 60
Ing to visit Great Britain before re-
turning to China. Nine Chang
said that would depend largely on
her health at the conclusion of her
American tour.

The Capital Transit Co.'S activi-
ties were described as vital" in
the war effort and as "the most i'm
portant home front I can think Of"
IN the House late yesterday by Rep
resentative Shafer, Republican, OF
Michigan.
He pleaded the Importance of
giving the utmost public support to
the effort of the local transporta-
tlon system to meet the emergency.
Let us help local transit officials
where we can to retain employees
they have and recruit Others"
Mr.. Shafer told his colleagues
that "a days work lost in the War
Department, the Navy Department
and other Government agencies
would set back the war effort for
days and possibly weeks"
He said he brought the matter to
the attention of Congress because
he feels strongly that everything
must be done within our means to
encourage the personnel of the local
transit company to continue to do
a good job-they must have peace
of mind in the knowledge that there
is no doubt that they are in an in
dustry essential to the war effort"
Mr.. Shafer said he had personally
investigated the situation and
found that 700 of the Capital Tran
sit Co.'S employees are in the armed
services, either by enlistment or
drafted. Of the 1924 employees
actually engaged in the operation
of the transportation system. only
few are under 80 years of age
and have been deferred for occupa-
tlonal Or dependency reasons. He
emphasized that the company today
is short upward of 600 full time

preme Court as the final step in his
fight to escape the galloWs.
If the petition for a writ of review
is denied, Stephan's death is at the
discretion of Federal Judge Arthur

Of Appeals at Cincinnati recently
upheld conviction and sentence, re-
jecting the argument of Stephan's

the acts committed by Stephan did
not constitute a criminal offense
The appeal to the Supreme Cour,
rests on the same argument. Mr.
SaloWlch said.
