MAIL SUBSIDY ABUSES BARED BY ROOSEVELT

President Urges Banning of ‘Subterfuge’ by Direct Grant. BY ROBF.RT W HORTON Tlm* Writer WASHINGTON. March 5 Operators of the American Merchant Marine stood charged today with major abuses of the mail subsidy system which has kept their ships on the seas. A report from Postmaster General James A. Farley, submitted to Congress by President Roosevelt, revealed that the 128 850.000 annual expenditure called for in ocean mail contracts exceeds “all the combined annual wages, subsistence. maintenance and repair costs of the operators of all the American flag vessels on ocean mail routes. . . ” The government, said the Farley report, paid out 5119.257.756 in such subsidies beta-pen 1928 and last June 30. Had the mail been carried at poundage rates, the report said, the cost would have been only $ 15.500.000 President Roosevelt recommended to Congress yesterday that the “subterfuge/* of excessive mail pay be supplanted by a direct subsidy. Inefficiency Charged The Postmaster General disclosed that the government's investment in sh.p operation through the existing subsidy plan was slightly more than $112,500,000 as against an investment of $80,550,000 bv stockholders in the companies concerned. He voiced an opinion that the ship owners “should not only contribute a considerable portion of their own means, which they hnv" not done except from funds dcri" ■' from their government operati but they should also be required deal fairly with the government and efficiently operate their businesses.” He explained that “the government can not hope to receive the full measure of benefit from its benefit from its expenditures if those who receive government aid in the form of mail contracts, or otherwise, are permitted to operate in an extravagant manner and pay unconscionable dividends; and to organize subsidiary companies, such as machine shops, agencies or other coronaries, which are permitted to make exorbitant profits and, incidentally, stifle independent shops and firms; or to own or in turn to be owned, wholly or in any substantial part, bv holding companies that have exorbitant expenses.” Navy Outlines Needed The capital subsidy recommended by the President would, under his plan, be extended “to take care of differentials between domestic and foreign cost of construction of vessels in foreign trade rnd to take care of the cost nr such special features as may be re< uired by the Navy Department.” The Navy seeks, in the merchant marine, an auxiliary foica for war purposes. With the President's recommendations were submitted Navy estimates of present needs. These indicated that there should be built 61 passenger vessels capable of 12 to 18 knots’ speed; 3 passenger vessels of 18 knots; 24 cargo! vessels, oil burning, that could do 10 j to 12 knots; 32 tankers capable of 10 to 12 knots, and 20 refrigerating Ships of 15 knots.

Angered by Morrissey, Council Asserts Power Measure to Create Preferential Street Killed When Group Learns Signs Already Placed. A proposed ordinance to make Emerson-av a preferential street at Brookville-rd was ordered stricken from the files last night by City Council, rising to assort its authority. The ordinance had been presented by the Safety Board on recommendation of Chief Mike Morrissey

and councilmen were resentful when they learned that signs making Emerson-av preferential already had been installed. These must be removed, it was decided, since most members felt that existing regulations provided sufficient safety for Emerson-av, and since Brookville-rd is now preferential. The council passed an ordinance approving the sale of a Fairchild cabin monoplane owned by the city. It was explained that the ship is in poor condition and that the cost of npi-Pssary repairs is toe high to make retaining the plane practical. It is understood that the

NATURAL LAXATIVE FOOD WINS NATION Kellogg’s All-Bran Helps Millions to Regular Habits Kellogg’s All-Bran is one of the most popular laxative foods in the country today. Millions have found it thoroughly satisfactory for correcting constipation due to insufficient “bulk” in meals. In addition to its popular approval, All-Bran has been accepted by science. Research show’s it offers mild “hulk” to aid elimination. Also vitamin B and iron. The American Medical Association Committee on Foods has granted Kellogg’s All-Bran its Seal of Acceptance. This delicious cereal is also approved by Good Housekeeping Institute. Within the body, All-Bran forms a soft mass which gently clears out the intestinal wastes. More effective than the “bulk” in fruits and vegetables, as it does not break down in the body. Isn’t this food better than patent medicines? Unlike cathartics, it remains effective xvith continued use. Two tablespoonfuls daily are usually sufficient. Chronic cases, with each meal. If not relieved this way, see your doctor. Get the red-and-green package at your grocer’s. All-Bran ts much more satisfactory , than part-bran products. Made by Kellogg in Battle Creek.

INSULL BORED AS HIS THIRD TRIALSTARTS Only One Spectator Attends First Session; Jury Near Completion. By United Press CHICAGO, March s.—Attorneys in the second trial of Samuel Insull on charges growing out of collapse of his riant utility system returned to selection of a jury today with predictions that preliminary statements would be under way this afternoon. Insull, accused of embezzling $66,000 from one of his securities holding companies on the eve of its crash in 1932, instructed his attorneys, portly and suave Floyd Thompson, to hasten qualification of the jury. “Let's get it over with,” he urged. Gazes Out of Window During his third official appearance in court since he was returned from Turkey last spring, Insull displayed a frank boredom. He wilted

like the petunia in his blue serge lapel as the day wore on. Most of the time he gazed vacantly out a window opened to admit the balmy air of the year’s warmest day. Samuel Insull Jr., trained as the “crown prince” of his 75-year-old father's "empire,” and still its busiest executive under a receivership, constituted himself publicity agent for the defense as he did when the senior Insull was tried and acquitted in November of mail fraud charges. The elder man invariably waved questioners toward his son. Two Owned Insull Stocks All jurors chosen yesterday were on the sunny side of 35 years. One was a salesman, another a clerk, a third an accountant and the fourth a solicitor. Two formerly owned Insull stocks, but said they held no grudge because they lost their money. Mr. Thompson followed the routine of all recent criminal trials in Chicago, objecting to a supposedly illegal location of the courthouse, which is outside the city limits as described in the city charter. He objected, too, to the method of drawing veniremen. Judge Cornelius Harrington overruled both objections. There was one spectator in court when the trial opened, an unidentified woman. Only five other persons wandered in during the day. in contrast to the crowds of Insult's trial in Federal Court last fall.
