FARLEY SUED IN AIR MAIL FEUD BY FOUR FIRMS Injunction and Damages Asked by Those Who Lost Contracts. By Scrippt-Hotrard Setcepaper Alliance WASHINGTON. April 18—Post-master-General James A. Farley today laced suits by lour of the air mail companies whose contracts were canceled last February. The legality of the cancellation was questioned in injunction proceedings instituted in the District of Columbia supreme court as Mr. Farley was preparing to open bids Friday for temporary operation of seventeen air mail routes. The four concerns involved, Boeing Air Transport, Inc.; National Air Transport, Inc.; Pacific Air Transport, and Varney Air Lines, want ‘Mr. Farley enjoined from carrying out his cancellation order and demand damages. Notice of the litigation came just as the restoration of some semblance of order to the nation s air mail program appeared possible as the result of the President's plan for a commission to map a permanent air mail program. A test vote in the senate yesterday apparently assured passage of the McKellar-Black bill. The vote was tallied forty-six for to twenty-five against. Democrats Return to Fold Analysis revealed nineteen Democratic senators, who had voted against the veto, were again aligned with the White House, while only one, who had sustained the President. voted against taking up the air mail legislation. Early supplanting of present meager army air mail operations by a substantial commercial program also seemed assured today when postoffice officials announced they intended to open temporary bids Friday and award contracts at the earliest date possible. Many perplexing phases of the air mail problem still exist, especially as to specifications under which private companies may regain the governments business and rebidding. Regardless of whether the postoffice department carries out present plans of awarding temporary contracts or not, the companies still will face the necessity of having to bid temporarily again unless the congress moves with unprecedented speed. Postal officials predict operations under the temporary contracts will be started by June 1. If this materializes permanent air mail legislation must be passed by the next congress by March 1, 1935, to obviate the necessity of additional bidding. Although the McKellar-Black bill will be temporarily laid aside today to permit consideration of the administration's sugar bill, both authors predict it will be reached again late this afternoon. Senator Pat McCarran (Dem.. Nev.), may have amendments to offer. Senator Simeon D. Fess (Rep., O.), who will lead the Republican opposition, declared today that the proposed legislation is unnecessary. G. O. P. Attack Expected Other Republican attacks are scheduled by Senators Warren Austin of Vermont and Wallace White Jr. of Maine. These two Republicans were to continue their efforts to prove claims that nonsubsidized independent aviation companies plotted to have the air mail contracts canceled. The four concerns seeking to enjoin the postmaster-general from enforcing his cancellation order charge that Mr. Farley individually canceled their contracts in an arbitrary manner without giving them an opportunity to be heard. Mr. Farley is sued as an individual and not as postmaster-gen-eral on the theory that he had no power as postmaster-general to annul the contracts without notice and hearing. They allege his action was unconstitutional.

INSULLGUARDS ALERT AS SHIP DOCKSJN SICILY Crew Watches for Possible Break, but Magnate Seems Content. Bp United Prrs MILAZZO, Sicily, April 18—One stage nearer home and prosecution on fraud charges, aged Samuel Insull looked out from the steamship Exilona today over the bay in which a Roman fleet 2.194 years ago won a historic naval battle over the Carthagenians. The Evilona arrived off the cape at dawn, and proceeded later to this port, to load sulphur oil. Members of the crew watched Insull closely against a possible break for liberty. It was planned to sail on to Palermo, further along the north coast, late this afternoon. Insull seemed reconciled to extradition, and showed good spirits though he winced at any sign of curiosity. He stayed up until late

last night chatting with newspaper correspondents. He talked on many topics, but particularly on food. It was an immense relief, he said, to get the American cooked food aboard the export liner Vagabond Cruiser after eating at the Istanbul detention house. From its next port, Palermo, the Exilona sails westward along the African coast through the Straights of Gibraltar, down to Casablanca, Morocco, and thence direct to Boston. Burton Y. Berry, third secretary of the American embassy to Turkey, and Captain Wenzel Habel of the Exilona, in joint official charge of the utilities magnate, devoted themselves to the task of insuring Insull’s safety and making him as comfortable as possible. Insull has high praise for Captain Habel, and expresses pleasure over his quarters. CORN LOANS ON CLIMB 51,000,000 Mark Passed. State Ofticial Reports. Indiana corn loans now exceed $1,000,000. it was reported today by Martin L. Lang, state commission of weights and measures. There are 1,564 loans made on 2.225,709 bushels of corn sealed in 1.976 cribs and the exact total is $1,001,596.05, he announced.

escape from the county jail here March 3. The trial date was set by Special Judge Maurice E. Crites. East Chicago, after Blunk pleaded not guilty when arraigned in criminal court late yesterday. Judge Crites overruled a defense motion to quash the indictment, returned by a grand jury which made a three-week investigation of the desperado's famous “wooden gun” escape. Blunk waived jury trial in favor of having his case heard by the judge alone, but Deputy Prosecutor Floyd Vance said the state may insist on a jury hearing. Reference to the fact that Dillinger was being held on a murder charge in connection with slaying of an East Chicago policeman during a bank robbery was stricken from the indictment on a defense motion. The early trial date was asked by

Blunk's attorney. Allen P Twrvman, East Chicago, who said Judge William H. Murray of the criminal court had promised to reinstate the defendant as fingerprint expert if acquitted.
