Air Defense Scorned.
For France, the outpost of ciyili-
cation, it was necessary to have the
army always ready. In fact, while
he was commander In chief, did he
not let the army fall asleep? AS a
proponent of the defensive, was he
even logical in preventing the pro-
longation to Northern France of the
Maginot Line in 1882.
And in the sphere of aviation,
with which he particularly con-
cerned himself after he became
inspector general of air defenses,
did he see the dimensions of mod
ern war when in 1882 he wrote in
an official document: "The day
when we have for our defense 200
fighters to defend against enemy
attacks and 200 bombers, each
capable of carrying one or two tons
for 1000 kilometers 1921 miles,
peace will be assured?"

.0PA Asks Injunctions
AGAINST ; D. {. Firms

1njunctions against violations of
the Emergency Price Control Act
were asked today by the Once OF
Price Administration in District
Court suits filed against three firms.
Sampel d. Schwartz. trading as
Fashion Dress Shop, 1200-A G street
NV, was charged with failing to
keep proper records and failing to
mark articles of women's clothing
as required by the regulations gov
erning sale of such articles. Over
ceiling sales Of such articles also
were alleged in the suit. Simulta-
neously with the filing of the COM
plant, a consent decree for a final
injunction was filed In District
Court.
In a second suit, Willis L. Haines,
described as operator Of the Haines
Motor Co., at 3715 Bladensburg road,
Colmar Manor, Nd, and Robert
Murphy, described as a salesman
employed by Mr.. Haines, were
charged with selling 1912 Lincoln
convertible coupe for $3,l00 or $194
over ceiling price. The suit asked
for an injunction to prohibit the
defendants from selling automobiles
at over ceiling prices and a judg-
ment for s582, or three times the
alleged overcharge in the sale Of the
Lincoln.
The third suit sought an injunc-
ton against Carl Schwartz and
Ralph Gordon, described as CO.
partners in the operation OF the
Greystone Laundry g. Cleaners and
the District Laundry g. Cleaners,
2216 Eighth street NV. The suit
alleged violations of record keeping
and posting regulations and also
that the defendants refused to give
a sales slip when requested by a
purchaser. The Injunction sought
would require the defendants to keep
a statement of their maximum
