BLACK SET TO REFUTE G, 0. P. MAIL CHARGES Will Show Operators Made Huge Profit at U. S. Expense, He Says. By firripp.Ho \ r %rftrtprr A llionrc WABHINGTO N. April 25 Aroused bv a three-day Republican bombardment, Senator Hugo L. Black <Dem.. Aia > today was to defend President Roosevelt's cancellation of air mail contracts before the senate and charce some former operators made huge profits at government expense. ‘ One concern made over 300 per cent profit.'' said the Alabamian, who is chairman of the .special senate committee investigating air and ocean mail contracts. Senator Black struck back at Charges of Senator Warren Austin • Rep, Vt.t that service under the temporary contracts will jeopardize public safety. Mr. Black claimed the mail will be carried in “safer planes, at greater speed, and at a saving of more than 50 per cent to the government." "It is clear that the government will obtain carrying of mails over ail the lines on which contracts were cancelled for less than $10,000.000 annually.” Senator Black said.' This is $2,000,000 below the amount congress has appropriated for air mail service during the next fiscal year and about half the sum expended two years ago. Senator Black exploded reports that the postoffice department is planning to shelve temporary bids already opened by introducing into the senate records a report prepared in the office of Harllee Branch, second assistant, postmaster-general, outlining a future expansion program. This disclosed the department may soon advertise for bids on new temporary routes covering 4,092 miles. These routes, which are in addition to the 18.672 miles for which bids were bpened last Friday and 3,665 miles to be opened this Friday, will give air mail service to sixteen cities heretofore without such service. In a vigorous attark against the administration policy yesterday Senator Austin charged that E. L. Cord and nonsubsidized independent operators plotted to have the contracts cancelled. 150 ATTEND RALLY OF CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR Catherine Addressed by Moravian Churrh Pastor.

UTILITY LOBBY AGAINST STOCK BILLISPROBED ‘Most Powerful in History,’ Author of Proposed Act Asserts. BY THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer. WASHINGTON, April 25.—Further revelations were made today of the interlocking nature of the financial and industrial lobby, dominated by the New York Stock Exchange, which Is fighting the administration's stock market bill. The Associated Gas and Electric System, giant utility combine nowunder investigation for its stock - selling methods and its alleged legislative activity in New York, sent out to stockholders an attack on the bill by Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange. The corporation urged that stockholders “again” write to President Roosevelt and members of congress in protest against "damaging features of the bill.” On the back of the document were conveniently listed the names of the congressmen from their states. Previously, Mr. Whitney had sent his criticism of the bill to every company in the Associated system, as he did to every corporation listed on the exchange. The Associated went a step further and “roundrobined” all its stockholders. This disclosure gave congressmen a clew to some of the mail which nearly has swamped them in recent days. Revelation of this activity against

the bill followed disclosures of the common fight against the measure by the stock exchange, J. P. Morgan interests, the so-called Durable Goods Industries committee formed under auspices of the NRA. and the_ National Manufacturers’ Associa-" tion. Chairman Sam Rayburn (Dem., Tex.) of the house interstate commerce committee called the lobby “the most powerful ever organised against any bill which ever came to congress" and is ready to expose its

operations in his opening speech on the measure in the house in a few days. General Hugh S. Johnson, NRA administrator. was so aroused that he issued a statement disclaiming that the Durable Goods Committee was an NRA agency. This was interpreted by some>as a veiled rebuke of George H. Houston, president of the Baldwin Locomotive Works, who has been directing the committee's nation-wide campaign against the measure.

The campaign of the Associated Gas and Electric system against a bill to regulate dealing in securities came as a surprise in some quarters, particularly in view of recent revelations bv the Federal Trade Commission of correspondence between its officials and New York State Senator Warren T. Thayer, Republican, regarding bills in which the company was interested. The Thayer correspondence is now the subject of a legislative inquiry at Albany. Federal District Attorney Martin

Con boy in New York revealed recently that he is inquiring into the company’s methods of issuing and distributing its stock, which also was investigated by the federal trade commission. The senate banking committee dropped its scheduled inquiry into the Associated when Mr. Conboy advised it he was making his investigation. Robert E. Healey, chief counsel of the federal trade commission, used the Associated Gas and Electric system as an example of the
