OGEAN SHIPPERS FAGE CHARGES OF ‘UNFAIR

Indiana and Great Lakes States Challenge Rates.

CHICAGO, March 13 (U. P).— North Atlantic shipping interests today reply to charges that their exclusive contracts prevent estab‘lishment of a Great Lakes-to-Eu-rope ship service. Their defense will be presented before a U. S. Maritime Commission Examiner when the commission be"gins a hearing on an order to show cause why the exclusive contracts should not be amended or invalidated. Charges that the contracts are illegal and discriminatory were made by Middle Western shipping interests, represented by the Attorneys General of Indiana and three other states, Great Lakes port authorities and the Great Lakes Harbors Association. State and ‘port 3 authorities charged that the North Atlantic Conference, composed of shipping interests on the Eastern Seaboard from Montreal to Hampton Roads, has imposed a penalty upon Middle Western producers who prefer to ship their products by. the Great Lakes route to Europe during part of the year and by the seaboard - route at other times. Unless all goods shipped to Europe are moved directly by the North Atlantic Conference lines, they charge, shipping producers must pay unduly high rates. Attorneys general of Indiana. Ohio, Michigan and - Wisconsin termed defense of the contracts “a plea of ‘guilty.’”

Loss Is Set at Three Million; ‘Discoveries’ Periled.

ALPINE, N. J, March 13 (U. P). —Dr. Jo Clawson Burnett, husband of the heiress to the Timken ball-bearing millions, started home today to view the wreckage of the laboratory in which he had labored for 18 years “for the benefit of mankind.” Firemen already had gone through the ruins of the strangely constructed building on the lonely BurnettTimken estate overlooking the Hudson River, and found enough surgical equipment for a hosiptal. What scientific apparatus had been destroyed, what experiments had been ruined, no one knows but Dr. Burnett. His friends said the loss, including equipment, would amount to three million dollars. The building itself was worth $200,000. The Burnetts were in California

By Science Service WASHINGTON, March 13.—Be|cause of its highly developed trans|port organization the United States ‘requires fewer military transport airplanes than would otherwise be necessary, according to Gen. Henry H. Arnold, Chief of the Army Air Corps. With the aid of the commercial airline companies the Army Air Corps could, in about 48 hours, concentrate the entire ground personnel of the General Headquarters Air Force at any point within the confinental United States. More than 300 large transport ships, ordinarily seating between. 14 and 21 passengers, are grinding out millions of miles a year over a complicated network of airways. The growing (fleet of airliners is giving pilots experience which would be invaluable in a pinch. Civilian transports would fulfill

| {forezat # functions in war-time, the Air Corps chief pointed out. Besides serving as a means of helping the Air Corps concentrate its host of mechanics, weathermen and other ground personnel—who at present number more than ten times the men actually flying combat planes—civil air transport would help to move key Army, Navy and civilian personnel behind the lines. Shipment of tools, spare parts and strategic commodities which are not bulky also would be facilitated, particularly if other means of transport, such as the railroads or highways, are badly congested. In extreme cases in special areas where ordinary transportation media were destroyed, the airliners would have to carry the burden of transporting cargoes of all sorts, as well as passengers. General Arnold recalled the yeoman service of the airplane in the New England hurricane last fall as a case in point.

PROTESTS VETO OF D. A. V.-BACKED BILL

Pierceall Holds Disabled Entitled to Tax Lift.

Governor Townsend’s action in “pocket vetoing” = the House Bill giving disabled war veterans $1000 property tax exemption was sharply criticized today by William V. Pierceall, chairman of the Disabled American Veterans’ legislative committee. Pointing out that the bill passed both houses unanimously, Mr. Pierceall charged that the Governor “acted very undemocratic by refusing an audience to a delegation from the D. A. V., although he had time to receive other groups who were interested in their bills.”

The D. A. V. afficial asserted that “about 24 per cent of disabled veterans are neuropsychiatric cases, called shell-shocked veterans, 13 per cent are suffering from tuberculosis and 63 per cent are general medical

g LOCKED WITHIN | BOWERS DIARY

Another ‘Tragic Era’ May Result From Experience In War Zone.

Times Special WASHINGTON, March 13 .—Some day Claude &. Bowers, famed Hoosier historian, journalist, orator and diplomat, may write another “Tragic Era” he hinted here today. This time it will be an eye-wit-ness account and not merely frog historic source material as was his best-seller covering the Reconstruction period in the United States. For as the American Ambassador to Spain, the Ft. Wayne-born author was. present during most of the life of the Third Spanish Republic. At luncheon Saturday he related some of that sad story. to

Washington seems almost to have expired. Neither he nor Ambassador Bowers will represent their countries at these posts when Franco is finally recognized, it is understood here.

Worked on Book at First

When Spain was peaceful in the early days of his Ambassadorship at Madrid; Mr. Bowers gathered material for: a book dealing with Washington Irving's days in Spain. When the war came and he moved to St. Jean de Luz, the French town on the Spanish border to which the diplomatic corps transferred, times were too hectic to be writing books. But Ambassador Bowers did keep a diary and from this may some day come an story of the war, beginning in July, 1936. His lips are sealed now by diplomatic silence.

Praises People’s Courage

Included is the story of the refugees and their mass migration across the horder into France, the stories of the soldiers on both sides, the suffering noncombatants and the plight of ‘Spanish women and children in the bombarded cities. Ambassador Bowers has heard first-hand details from such masters of description as Ernest Hemingway, John Dos Passos and others who were his house guests going and coming from the fields of battle. Whatever he writes will be a tribute to the Spanish people. For them he has unstinted praise. “T do not believe” he said, “that there is a race in Europe which could show such heroic courage. There is nothing like them in the world.”
