Chief obstacle to the plan, officlals sald, will be the necessity of obtaining a permanent Indianapolis inspector or deputy inspector from the bureau of immigration and naturalization, since inbound travelers from most foreign nations must be inspected by the bureau.

It is believed details of the necessary work could be worked out with no serious trouble, The airport proposal is part of the Chamber's broad program for of internationel

BATTLE BOOST IN COTTON: MARGINS

WASHINGTON, March 15 (U.P). —Angry farm state congressmen declared war on Economic Stabilizer Chester Bowles and the OPA today because of a government order boosting futures margins on ‘cotton exchanges.

Chairman Elmer Thomas

(D. of the senate agriculture committee, said the powerful farm bloc would strike back with an allout fight to end OPA’s life in Jane. He said the order was a threat to cotton growers as well as the exchanges. Benator Burnet R. Maybank (D. 8 C.) angrily told Bowles that the “best thing” he could do for the country was to resign. Bowles precipitated the storm when he directed OPA to issue an order increasing , margin requirements to $30 a bale in the coun[¢ry’s three cotton exchanges at Chicago, New York and New Orleans. Effective date of the order will be announced later. ' . Bowles said he had asked the exchanges to take the action voluntarily, but they refused. Speculative ‘buying in cotton is sending the cost of clothing upward, he! said, “and I have no choice but to! employ and exhaust all the legal means at my command to stabilize due university agronomists. prices.”

Tentative plans to open the In. | dlanapolis Industrial Exhibit in Union station on July 1, today were announced by the Indisnape olis Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber's industrial exhibit governing committee said the opening would be marked with dedication ceremonies. The permanent display of many Tufiucia of local plants will consist of displays and large wall panals displaying enlarged photographs of many of the city’s major industrial plants. House 10 Units The display cases, now under construction by the Engineering Metal Products Co, of Indianapolis, will have the form of the observation end of Streamlined railway Sus with large plate glass windows in’ aluminum frames. Bach will be approximately 16 feet long, six feet wide and eight feet, six inches high and will house 10 display units. Some of the cases will extend horizontally from the west wall of the station and the rest parallel with the eagg wall.
