BETTER STATUS FOR HAWAII IS URGED BY JUDD Former Governor Declares Islands Worst-Treated Children. BY MAX STERN Time* Special Writer WASHINGTON, May I.—The territory of Hawaii, although one of Uncle Sam's fairest and most industrious, is his worst-treated adopted niece. Recording to former Gov. Lawrence M. Judd. Speaking today at the annual meeting of the United States Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Judd made ar. eloquent appeal for better treatment of the tropical islands of the mid-Paciflc. Chiefly he protested against the exclusion of Hawaii from the sugar quotas last year. Hawaii, he said, performs every function of a populous state. In 1933 it carried on a trade with the main, nd of more than $151,000,000. Asa b lyer from the stater, it l<*d al! but six foreign countries, and exceeded 64 countries in its purchases. It contributes $150,000,000 more to the Federal treasury than it gets therefrom. It is better governed than many states, he said, and it forms the nation's greatest defense. Hawaii thus is in every practical <-ense of the word one of the states, ?Jlr. Judd declared, yet in treating with its chief industry—sugar—the Federal government put it in a category with a foreign nation. Sees 512.540.000 Loss Mainland beet-sugar people were 'given a fixed allotment that was actually larger than they have raised in their best years, he said. The southern cane states were given a fixed quota. Hawaii was given no quota, but was left “to the tender mercy of the Secretary of Agriculture.” "Had Hawaii received rightful recognition as a domestic producer.” said Mr. Judd, “and the same treatment as other domestic producers in 1934. it would have marketed 1109.000 tons of sugar more than it was permitted to market under imposed re-

THERE were many dramatic and exciting incidents during the England to Australia flight that never were brought to the attention of the public and some of them were so interesting that it's never too late to relate them. One of the most interesting adventures was experienced by the Dutch KLM pilots flying the Ameri-can-built Douglas transport. While flying over Australia, the pilots were lost in a heavy fog which almost obscured the ground . . it was night, too. and no radio communication was available, no method of identifying the land underneath. The Dutch flyers practically were flying olind, they hadn't the least idea where they were, other than they had reached Australia. And t'.ien transpired one of the smartest pieces of keen, quick thinking of which I've ever heard. As the pilots peered down through the drifting, swirling mists, they sighted the lights of a small town flickering dimly in the distance. Then as they watched . . . the lights of the town went out, then they flashed on again. Then came a succession of short and prolonged

strictions. At S6O a ton, that's $12,540.000. “Since every ton taken from Hawaii is a ton for Cuba, the restricts l meant nothing but a transfer of Hawaii's heritage to Cuba’s bounty. Would this not be an appropriate time, place and gathering to ask why, if the United States wants to indulge Cuba, it should not be willing to assume the burden of the benefaction instead of unloading it onto a particular section of the United States?” Mr. Judd compared Hawaii’s importance with Cuba’s to the States, showing Hawaii as rating sixth in trade and Cuba 16th. All of Hawaii’s lost $12,540,000 sugar business would have been spent in the United States, while only half of that amount when given Cuba found its way back to the States, he said. “Is it any wonder,” he exclaimed, “that the loyal American citizens residing in Hawaii were stunned and wounded by the legislative and administrative discriminations which are so apparent?” He suggested that the sugar law be amended to treat Hawaii as a

i flashes of light. The amazed flyers then caught on to this phenomenon . . the town was signaling to them in Morse code. Yes, sir! That's what was happening. Someone down in the town had heard the drone of the big plane up in the fog . . and with his hands on the switches which controlled the street lights of the v*llage, this man spelled out the town’s name bv flashing the lights on and off. The pilots read those dots and dashes . . A-L-B-U-R-Y . . the town of Albury, Australia. Thev knew where they were. And the chap who did that quick thinking was the man of the hour in his little town in far-off Australia. Gosh! it fairly thrills one with admiration for a bit of fast, keen thinking like that! QUESTION —What is the nacelle of an aircraft? This is an inclosure designed to accommodate the passengers or power plant or both. It is usually limited to the pusher-type aircraft and is shorter than the average fusej lage and larger than the average i cockpit.

: domestic producer on a par with beet and cane states. The former Governor did not mention statehood, now being agitated in Hawaii, but urged that the islands’ status as “an integral part l of the United States” be recognized in Federal laws. ■FASTER SCHEDULES SET United Air Lines Announce Cut in Time to Pacific Coast. New and faster schedules between Chicago and New York as well as to Pacific Coast points have been announced by officials of the United Air Lines. Eight planes will leave Chicago daily for New York, making the 724-mile trip in four hours and 20 minutes, 35 minutes faster than previous schedules. The same reduction has been made in westbound schedules from New York, although the flying time is slightly longer. An hour has been clipped from the Chicago-Los Angeles trip.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

HOSPITAL NEEDS EXTRA $30,000 FOR EQUIPMENT Flower Mission and Health Board Officials Map New ‘Campaign. A program to raise $30,000 in addition to Federal funds allocated and money publicly subscribed for the construction of the Indianapolis Flower Mission 100-bed hospital for advanced tubercular patients, was being mapped today by the mission and the City Health Board. Increased building costs will necessitate the use of all money already pledged, and the additional $30,000 will be required for purchase of equipment. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, board secretary, said. The new building, located on City Hospital grounds, is expected to be completed in six months. Contracts totaling SISC 693 for construction of the hospital were awarded Monday night at a meeting of the board with Mayor John W. Kern and mission representatives. The general construction contract was let to the Service Construction Cos. at $119,977. Heating and plumbing contracts went to Roland M. Cotton & Cos., for $11,704.18 and $12,761.87, respectively. Porter. Glore & Glass, Inc., will make the electrical installation for $9650, and the elevator contract was given the Warner Elevator Manufacturing Cos. for $4600. All the firms are located in Indianapolis. The board also voted to appoint two sanitary officers, Charles Miller, replacing George Kugleman, and W. J. Sullivan, succeeding James Shea.
