REPUBLICANS TO CROSS-EXAMINE WALTER BROWN Attempt Will Be Made to Discredit Air Mail Fraud Charges. By United Press WASHINGTON. Feb 22 Crossexamination of Walter F. Brown, designed to discredit completely all charges of fraud in the awarding of air line contracts in the Hoover administration, is scheduled to be undertaken today by Republican members of the senate air mail committee. Senator Warren R. Austin 'Rep. Vt.>, at the request of Senator Bimeon D. Fess <Rep. O.i, will direct questioning of the former post-master-general. Mr. Fess asked the committee to hear Mr. Brown after the Hoover cabinet officer agreed to appear voluntarily and waive immunity. A three-day exchange between Mr. Brow’n and Chairman Hugo L Blark which, at times, strained the tempers of both, ended late yesterday with testimony about Mr. Brown’s participation in a milliondollar stock account in 1928 and 1929. Legality Charges Again Denied Mr. Brown said the account was ■ operated jointly with the late ! Joseph P. Bagley, a close friend and business associate who was Wash- | ington representative for several j companies that obtained government construction contracts. Mr.; Bagley died in 1932 and. in his will, ; named Mr. Brown as “sole residuary '■ legatee" of the estate. Mr. Brown told the committee the account i brought him profits in 1928. but the following year it was “very disastrous and caused me a great deal of sorrow.” He said he was forced to pay $434,000 to prevent being “wiped out." Mr. Brown again denied charges of illegality in connection with a meeting in his office in 1930 at which airline operators were asked to find a way to aid passenger com- j panies that had no mail contracts, j Mr. Black crowded the record j with testimony on Mr. Brown's i connections with the International Mercantile Marine Corporation and subsidiary companies that sought contracts to carry mail to Europe. Mr. Brown denied that his IMM stock holdings had any connection with the award of contracts. Attacks Congress Members He spiced his testimony with a sharp attack upon members of congress who assail private citizens under the privilege of immunity. Looking squarely at Mr. Black, who had charged collusion in the 1930 airmail conference, the former cabinet officer commented on a recent critical speech by Chairman James Mead of the house postoffice committee, declaring: “This is another example of the glib inaccuracy and unfairness of statements made frequently by gentlemen who can not be called to account. “If Mr. Mead regards as a ‘bad mess’ the nation-wide co-ordinated and dependable service that I turned over to the chairman of the Democratic national committee, (Postmaster General James A. Farley) it would be interesting to know how he regards the present air mail situation.” G. A. R. VETERAN - DIES Former State Commander, 86, Succumbs in Princeton. Bit United Prate PRINCETON.

BONUS PAYMENT IS OPPOSED BY VETERANGROUP Aid Should Be Given Widows and Disabled Men, Commander Says. By United Press NEW YORK. Feb. 22. The American Veterans’ Association is opposed to cash payment of adjusted service certificates at this time, Charles M. Kinsolving, national commander, said today. Mr. Kinsolving said he did not believe congress would pass the bill over the President’s veto. “In principle, we are opposed to this measure because we see no reason for the distribution of billions in greenbacks to able-bodied exservice men simply because they wore a uniform for a short interval during the war,” he said. “If the government is in a financial position to spend money on veterans’ relief, why don’t the members of congress introduce legislation to increase benefits to the Q A A AOO I WHOLE LIFE | <pOUUU= I PROTECTION | Paid-Up Feature!
