The sir-minded citizen probs-

sonably safe and roomy airplsne
for about $4,000 after the war,
William A. M. Burden, special
aviation assistant to the Secre-

Addressing the Chamber of
Commerce yesterday, Burden
said three main types OF post
war private planes should be
built:
A businessman's model for
former Army and Navy filters;
fast, maneuverable and carrying
four or five persons.
A rocking chair model de-
signed mainly for safety and

Service Vote
a Key Faetor
Bold Bid by
FDR Cloimed

WASHINGTON, July 30-(Pl
The service vote in 1914 ap-
peared today as the key to a
growing controversy over whe-
ther President Roosevelt spoke
Wednesday night as a wartime
commander-in-ch or cam
paigning candidate-or both.
And out of the scrap sprang
the issue of whether the Office
of War Information (OWD and
Military and Naval news facili-
ties should be used TO carry crit
icisms of the President 10 the
fighting men.
Chairman Harrison Z Spang-
Ter said the Presidents address
started his campaign for
fourth and perhaps continuing
term" He charged that, in his
world w d broadcast. Mr..
Roosevelt made "a bold bid for
the vote of our soldiers and
sailors who are risking their
lives for freedom"
There was no immediate re-
ply TO Spangler's formal request
for Owl and service news chan
nels TO transmit comments on
the political implications of
the speech TO the armed forces,
but Capitol Hill continued TO re-
vertebrate with pros and cons
concerning the Presidents mo-
tives.
Congressional critics said the
President sounded like fourth
term candidate, but his friends
contended il was purely an I'M
political progress report on the
war.
Chief objections seemed to
hinge on Mr.. Roosevelt's outline
of planned government benefits
for fighting men after the war
which such men as Senators
Smith (D-SC) and Taft Or
Ohio said seemed TO be a bid
for the service vote.
Senator G. VI ey (D-Pa),
staunch administration support
err, said however, that the Presi-
dents soldier benefit suggestions
hit the nail on the head and
predicted Congress would pass
them promptly.
That point of who actually
would do the most for the fight
ing men underscored the squab-
BILE. Taft said Congress has
always been more generous to
war veterans than the President.
Congress already has provided
for disqualification and compen-
sation and has greatly expanded
the provisions for vocational re-
Mobilization for returning serv-
icemen."
And Spangler's telegraphed
request to Secretary of War
Stimson, Secretary Of the Navy
Knox and Robert Sherwood,
head of the OWL overeas divi-
sion. said sharply:
Every American is deter
minced TO take care OF these re-
turning heroes and il will be
the nation that does it and not a
personal beneficence OF the
President"

Port Blair in the Andaman
Islands by American heavy
