~ 6As DnOOhE JONCS.
Washington--and with 1t the
Nation-never has failed to celebrate
the close of a war, the victories of
American arms. For there always
has been reason to celebrate-this
country has never lost q war.
Those who already are beginning
to think about a national Victory
Day celebration to commemorate the
triumphant ending of this greatest
of all wars have pointed for prece-
dents far into the Capitals past, to
the grand review held after the
Civil War. They have gone into
more recent history to recall the
parade which Gen. Pershing led up
Pennsylvania avenue 10 months
after the armistice of November II,
1918.
Those were Americas two greatest
previous conflicts since the republic
was born in the travail of the Revo-
lutionary War. But the Capital did
not neglect the gallant men who
won briefer, less devastating
struggle, the Spanish-A American
War.
Two Celebrations.
There were, in fact, two big cele-
brations in Washington after Spain
was defeated. There was the Ma
tional Peace Jubilee, which opened
May %, 1899, and lasted three days,
and there was the national recep-
ton which the Capital gave Admiral
George Dewey, the outstanding hero
of that day, when he returned to
this country in October OF that year.
The National Peace Jubilee was
largely an outpouring of the civic
spirit of Washington citizens. They
raised the money and got up the
affair, with the appreciation and
help Of the legislative and executive
branches of the Federal Government.
"The bright sun rising from a
cloudless east" reports The Star of
May %. 1899, ''ushered In this
morning the opening day Of the
National Peace Jubilee, and as 1t
slipped above the horizon there was
a peal Of Ginning bells and .sullen
roar Of cannon as the guns OF the
Dolphin fired the national salute

Airline Head Will Fac,
Opponents Queries
On Maryland Plans
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 30. L.
Bombay, president OF Columbia Air
lines, Inc, was scheduled for cross
examination today by counsel for
opposing companies in the third day
Of hearings before the Maryland
Public Service Commission. His
company completed its case yes
terday.
The hearings are on the first re-
quests the commission has received
to license State airlines. In the
hearings, safety factors in each
proposed operation have been
weighed carefully.
Columbia,s operations manager,
its chief pilot and a Boeing airplane
plant sales representative were
among the concerns witnesses testi-
flying on financial, economic and
technical phases of the proposed
service.
Pan-Maryland Pleads Case.
Pan-Maryland Airlines, Inc, one
of Columbia's main competitors, al
ready has pleaded its case. With
only two bus lines applying for air
service to be heard, Pan -Maryland's s
president, g. B. Fenwick, told OBJ
servers lit is very conceivable that
the commission may license both
Pan-Maryland and Columbia.
Throughout two days testimony
each company has offered evidence,
much of 1t highly technical, to DEM
onstrate what it believed to be the
superiority Of Its own proposed sery-
ice. Red Star Motor Coaches, Inc,
and the Blue Ridge Lines, Inc,
placed their main emphasis on the
difficulties the others would en-
counter and argued for delay ip ap-
proving petitions.
Former Attorney General William
C. Walsh, representing Red Star,
returned to point he made in his
opening statement, an alleged lack
OF adequate airport facilities in
Maryland.
Discussion on Planes.
Pan-Maryland's attorney, George
Constable, sought to demonstrate
that multi-engineo airplanes on
short flights would prove uneconom-
ical. Columbias witnesses and law
yer assured the commission that
twin-engined planes were safer.
(Pan-Maryland plans to use single
engine, three-passenger planes.)
The problems of airports, mail
contracts, rates and equipment all
were examined.
Pan-Maryland expects to operate
ct 6 cents per passenger mile, Co
fumbia at 10, which 1t expects to
reduce il it should obtain an. air
mail contract.

House Group Planning
Free Press Provision
In All Foreign Aid Bills.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A strong House group disclosed
plans yesterday to attach to every
future bill for aid to foreign govern
ments. "free press" requirements
similar to those put in an UNRRA
appropriation measure last week.
Specifically the group proposes to
restrict any foreign loans to ma
Cions which give United States re-
porters full access to news abroad.
The amendment to the appropria-
ton bill does that insofar as the
gathering OF news about UNRRA
activities is concerned. The Senate,
however, has not acted on that
measure.
New UNRRA Bill In House.
Still in the House legislative mill
is a bill authorizing a new grant
Of $1,350, 900 900 to UNRRA. This
is in addition to the $3.50, ,000, 900 fund
to which the rider was attached.
In the offing are measures to au-
thorize loans to Great Britain, Rus
sia and other Allied nations, and to
enlarge the capital of the Export
Import Bank.
Hanging fire In the House Foreign
Affairs Committee is a bill to re-
peal the johnson Act prohibiting
loans to foreign governments in de-
fault on past obligations to this
country.
Restrictions May be Expanded.
All these proposals are likely to
be targets of free press" amend
ments when they reach the House
floor.
II the show of strength made on
the UNRRA amendment means any,
thing, the restrictions will be writ
ten into the other legislation. There
were 1873 votes for the UNRRA
amendment and the total probably
would have been higher If 1t had
not been for pleas that UNRRA is
strictly a relief agency and should
not be hampered in its operations.
I'VE are going to undertake to
require in all foreign aid legislation
hereafter that United States re-
porters be given free access to news
in countries receiving the aid" a
Republican leader said.
Observers Should Be Allowed.
I'VE are not asking any nation
to borrow our money, but If they
want it bad enough they should be
willing to let trained observers rep
resenting the American public look
around and see what it is being
used for"
AS originally proposed, the UNRRA
rider would have required general
news freedom in countries receiving
aid under the bill. but a compro-
mise cut it down to apply only to
UNRRA information.
