League Control
of Air Services
Urged in France
Leon Blum. Socialist Leader, Sug
gests Internationalization
of Plane Lines
Paris, March 11. International
ization of air transport, under super
vision of the League of Nations, is
recommended by Leon Blub. Social
ist leader, as the only way out of the
present situation, which he describes
as "chaotic" and which he says can
result only "in waste of effort and
dissipation of capital."
The Socialist leader in the party
organ, Le Populaire, takes as his text
the case of the Aeropostalc Company,
which, although subsidized, has been
obliged to appeal for additional state
aid. The Government has devised a
temporary scheme for operating the
company under state control, and
thus is enabling it to continue ser
vice which provide the only air link
between France and South America.
The Socialist leaders comment!?
are not without political significance,
I since his party has been doing every
thing possible to keep the Aeropos
tale affair before the public and is
ieven clamoring for resignation of
I Pierre Flandin, Minister of Finance.
i who admitted in the Chamber of
Deputies last week that he had for-
merly been attorney for
ipostale Company, but ht
hjs conne(.ti'on upon nc(.
the Aero-
had severed
epting the
ministerial post.
The Socialists claim that the Aero
postale affair bears a striking simi
larity to the Oustric affair, which ob
liged Rnoul Peret, Minister of Jus
tice, to resign from the Tardieu Cabi
net because of his legal connection
with the banker. Albert Oustric.
If. Blum's thesis is that due to the
international ramifications of air
trnsnnrt RMtMM and their financ
ing, the oniy proper procedure is to
nreanize all air transport svstems as
a public international service unuer
League of Nations supervision.
He points out that since the Aero
postale Company operates only the
French and African sections of the
transatlantic service, while the South
American sections are financed by
Brazilian. Argentine and Uruguayan
; companies, it is necessary in order to
; maintain the service, not only
France to come to the aid of
for '
th.
' Aeropostale but for South American
i -

m.. tjiiim recommends luieraaiiuu
; alization of world air services, not
I only in order to secure increased effi
I clency and prevent waste, but also to
check a growing tendency toward in
ternational competition and rivalry
on air routes, which he thinks may
.threaten friendly relations between
states.
The air budget for 1931-32 pro
vides for expenditure of 243.000,000
i francs (nearly $10,000,000) for pro
motion of commercial flying.

House Members
Put Soft Pedal
on Their Row
Take Quieter Attitude Than Senate
Toward Board of Control Ask
Business Head
Lincoln, Neb., March 17. While
members of the senate committee on
state institutions are wrangling
among themselves over the question
of how far they should go in con
demning the administration of the
board of control, members of the
house committee are taking a more
temperate attitude.
"After all, the real background
for all this fuss in the senate is the
dismissal of certain employes," one
member of the house committee said
Tuesday.
House members have spent con
siderable time the last several weeks
inspecting various institutions. Ex
cept for the details of the senate com
mittee's probes into complaints con
cerning the Hastings and Grand Is
land institutions, they feel that they
have the situation as a whole pretty
well in mind. They will soon be ready
to make their recommendations on
the needs of the various institutions.
Rerun Sees Economy Chance.
One recommendation which will
probably be made will be the ap
pointment of administrative heads
for the state hospitals. Under the
present system the doctor who is in
charge o? the institution supervises
both the business administration ar.d
the medical work.
Representative Karl Kehm, chair
man of the house committee, ex
pressed the opinion that such a rec
ommendation might be made.
"Of course, such a plan might be
opposed on the ground that it is
merely creating another Job, but
these is no doubt in my mind but
that a considerable saving would re
sult in administrative expense, sup
plies, and other things, which would
more than equal the salaries paid,"
he said.
Chairman Kehm said that in hin
opinion there is no ground for se
rious complaint against the board.
"They have made a few mistakes,
but they have been in Judgment and
not in heart. There is always some
one who is dissatisfied if a member of
the board has courage enough to
say 'No.' "
Representative Kehm spoke high
fy of the qualifications and work of
Mrs. Nellie Benson, woman member
of the board.
G. A. Meline of Kearney likewise
expressed himself in favor of the ap
pointment of separate administrative
heads for the hospitals.
"It is seldom that a competent
doctor can be found who also has
the necessary business judgment and
physical capacity to attend to the
numerous details involved in general
management of an institution," he
said.
While he believed that there is
no real ground for complaint against
the board, he felt that the manage
ment of the institutions could be im
proved by this means.
He also suggested that special
architects or competent inspectors
be named to personally look after
all the details of new building con
struction and repair. He favors a
revolving fund being established to
permit repairs as they are needed
rather than by specific recommenda
tion of the legislature.
He is of the opinion that the sen
ate row with the board of control
will "peter out."
Two Satisfied at Present.
Charles Jones of Schuyler, another
member of the committee, opposed
the plan to name separate adminis
trative heads. Both he and Repre
sentative Peter Van Fleet are of the
opinion that the board of control is
doing a satisfactory Job of managing
the institutions.
The board made a mistake in
hesitating to remove the Hastings
hospital superintendent. Had thev
acted promptly there would have
been on complaint on the part of
the senate members," Representative
Jones said.

WIFE OF TWO HEN
GIVEN ALT) BY JUDGE
Omaha Mrs. Thelma Lowe Davey
of Omaha is no longer the wife of two
men. She was relieved of that em
barrassing position by District Judge
Herbert Rhoades who set aside an
order granting her a divorce from
John C. Lowe of Omaha, formerly or
Pawnee City. Judge Rhoades grant
ed the original decree, but when he
learned that leas than a month after
it was granted, she had married
George E. Davey, he set aside the
decree, leaving her technically mar
ried to two men. Mrs. Lowe-Davey
protested that she did not know of
the six month clause in divorce de
crees, which forbids a divorced man
or woman from remarrying until six
months after the decree had been
granted.
Can you remember back that far? Well, let us tell you a
little story. In 1881 Plattsmouth was a bustling, grow
ing city. The first Burlington bridge was being built
horses and wagons were numerous on our streets automo
biles were unknown sidewalks were of boards the
streets were native soil the river ran close to the foot of
Main street only two or three brick buildings in town. In
that year 1881 a young man bought a suit of clothes
at "WESCOTTS." This week this same young man :
a little older grown bought another suit of clothes at
"WESCOTTS" and remarked that he had never bought
but 2 suits in the 50 years that did not come from this store.
