LOW BIDS MAY BRING POORER PLANE SERVICE Old Companies Which Lost Contracts Ignore Profit in New Proposals. By Scripp*.}J,,r arrl N, uspnper Alli'inrt WASHINGTON, April 21—The new deal in air transport —a temporary, stop-gap new deal— is here. It came yesterday with the opening of bids on seventeen air mail routes, and it brought with it surprises. elation, sorrow, and the prospect of somewhat poorer service. 'I he surprises were caused by so many of the old lines apparently getting their old routes back under a slight reorganization. Elation came to those lines which did get their routes back, sorrow to unsuccessful bidder and to hundreds of airline pilots, who fear lower pay may result from some of the extremely low bidding. Poorer Service May Result The prospects for poorer service emerge from two factors: 1. Postoffice specifications for these new routes, which in many cases are below the standard of speed and passenger facilities before the cancellation. 2. The number of new companies swept into the air mail picture—many of whom will be unable to get multi-motored equipment, or to afford two-way radio, or additional passenger schedules beyond the mail trips. Os the approximately 17 000 miles of route bid upon yesterday, 11,000 miles probably will be covered by the same companies that covered them before the cancellation. The only likelihood for poorer service on these lines is the lact that some of them were bid in at. what are said to be below-profit rates, and that by “cutting the corners” financially service may be affected. Cord Loses, Is Indication. The remaining 6 000 miles of new' routes are to be flown mainly by new companies. There were three schools of thought in the bidding—one which bid high enough to make a profit; one which was determined to get its line a*’ any cost; the third, that exhibited by E. L. Cord. Mr. cord lost all of his former routes except one, the short run from New York to Bo'ton. But Mr. Cord may have something up his sleeve. Bids on four more routes are to be opened next Friday, and some cf these are Mr. Cord s old routes. PENMANSHIP TEACHERS ELECT BOSTON WOMAN Ft. Wayne Instructor Is Named Vice-President. New president of the National Association of Penmanship Teachers and Supervisors is Miss Bertha A.

11. S. READY TO STEADY DOLLAR BY GOLD FLOW Administration Determined to Prevent Currency From Falling. (Copyright. 1934, by United Press') WASHINGTON, April 21. Authoritative sources today described the administration as determined for the present to prevent the American dollar from falling below its gold parity even though it may become necessary to permit gold exports to Europe. Recently the American dollar has shown weakness abroad. Yesterday in Paris it fell below its new gold parity of 15 5-21 grains of gold. This raised the prospect of early support of the dollar, either directly or indirectly by the United States government, should the decline continue. The federal government was un-

derstood to have made no chance ! in its policy announced last January by Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau that it will sell gold at 535 per ounce for export to foreign | central banks whenever the dollar j reaches the "gold export point.” The “gold export point" is the level of the dollar in terms of the French franc or other gold currencies at which it would be profitable j for persons to turn their foreign ; currencies into dollars, buy gold from the United States government at $35 per ounce, and ship the metal back to Europe. A decline of only a few cents in ; the foreign exchange value of the j dollar might make export of gold ; profitable. The dollar in Paris yesterday slipped to around 99'a cents 1 of its new parity and a further decline might call for American sup- | port through gold exports. This is expected to be the policy ’ of the administration, at least for ; the time being, rather than use of . its $2,000,000,000 stabilization fund | set up several months ago to con- | trol the dollar’s value.

LEAGUE TO ASK FOR SHOWDOWN IN JAPAN STAND Powers Are Concerned by Nippon's New Edict of ‘Hands Off.’ By United Press GENEVA. April 21. Japan’s startling "hands off" Chinese declarations may be raised in what w-ill amount to a world conference whh the league of nations committee on Manchukuo meets here May 14, it was indicated today. League of nations’ officials, already chagrined over the complete defeat of the league’s efforts to curb activities of Japan in Manchukuo, frankly took a serious view of the latest Tokio statements. Confronted with anew step forward in Japan's aim to assert full leadership in Eastern Asia, league officials seemed inclined to favor a showdown ana to welcome a general discussion of far eastern affairs

at the May 14 meeting—the first in nearly a year of the Manchukuo committee. From the standpoint of the league as a body, there was no doubt that a strong stand against Japan wouid be welcomed. But as Geneva is but the shell of the organization, and its members have their own problems in the far east, there was some speculation whether a "strong stand" could be adopted. BROWN IS RE-ELECTED BY HOSPITAL GROUP Methodist Chairman Again Heads Association Committee. Arthur V. Brown, chairman of the board of trustees of the Methodist hospital, was re-elected president of the executive committee of the Methodist Hospital Association yesterday at a meeting in the Jacob E. Wile nurses’ home. Other officers named were W. E. McKee. Indianapolis, first vicepresident; W. H. Forse, Anderson, second vice-president: J. I. Holcomb, Indianapolis, third vice-presi-dent; Dr. W. W. Wiant, pastor of North M. E. church, secretary, and Arthur Wolf. Indianapolis, treasurer. Dr. John G. Benson was renamed general secretary.
