j stituted one of the most important
sk to Fore? Government to Carry, declarations of national policy in re
Cut Terns of Annulled Pacts; j cent history, the spokesman added
To Aim Action at Farley. ! that it does not mean renunciation
Washington. Court action to
force the government to carry out
the terms of the airmail contracts
annulled by Postmaster General Far
ley will be instituted Wednesday by
four of the afi'ected aviation com
panies. This announcement was made as
the senate concluded its first round
of debate on legislation carrying out
President Roosevelt's new iiroposal
that a commission study and formu
late an aviation policy for the gov
ernment. In addition, the board ap
pointed by Secretary Dcrn to make
a study of the army air corps held
its first session and promised an
"immediate and thoro survey."
The1 court proceedings will be
brought by the Peeing Air Trans
port inc., National Air Transport,
inc., Pacific Air Transport and Var
r.ey Airlines. All are subsidies ot
United Aircraft and Transport, inc.
They will file complaints in the
District of Columbia supreme court,
aimed directly at Farley as a private
individual and not in his official ca
pacity oil the ground that as head of
the department he had no power to
annul the contracts.
Arbitration Action Claimed.
"James A. Farley arbitrarily and
in a manner contrary to law can
celled the contracts of these com
panies without giving them any no-.
ti(e or any opportunity to present the
true facts," said a resume of the
charges, is.-ued at the office of Wil
liam J. Donovan, counsel for the air
lines. "It is alleged that the cancella
tion of these contracts without giv
ing the companies an opportunity
for hearing deprives them oftheir
property without due process of law
in violation of the fifth amendment
of the constitution."
Without naming any spceihe
amount, the papers to be filed asked
restitution by Farley for "all dam
ages caused" Ly his order. The or
der, it is contended, constituted an
illegal seizure of their property. The
companies claim that they were giv
en no notice of Farley's intention
and that none was advised of the
specific charges against them.

Japan in Hands
Off W arning as
to the Chinese
Spokesman Talks of "Force" as State
ment Is Prepared Surpasses
Monroe Doctrine.
Tokio, April IS. A foreign office
spokesman asserted today that Japan
will act positively if necessary in tho
application of her restated China
policy of responsibility for peace in
east Asia.
The spokesman told foreign cor
respondents that the nature of the
action taken will depend upon the
circumstances in each case.
If foreign efforts to "disturb peace
in Asia" are backed forcemully, he
said, "Japan herself may be com
pelled to resort to force."
"We Must Be Judges."
Japan herself must determine, the
spokesman declared, whether foreign
attempts to aid China imperil peace
and order in east Asia.
"It is our responsibility," he said.
"We must be the judges."
Admitting that the statement of
policy, made public yesterday, con-
of Japan's international obligations
"Where these principles conflict
with treaties to which Japan is a
party," he said, "the treaty will be
resrected but there may be differ
ences in interpretation of treaties."
Surpasses Monrone Doctrine.
Foreign diplomats here generally
were interpreting the declaration as
a "hands off China" policy aimed at
western nations, surpassing even the
broadest claims which have been
made under the Monroe doctrine.
They hastened to inform their home
governments of the development.
The manifesto set forth Japan's re
sponsibility to maintain peace in east
Asia and voiced objections to the ef
forts of other nations, including the
United States, to help Chinese air
and military forces.
A draft of the document, called a
"restatement and clarification" of
the Japanese policy toward China
and designed to outline Chinese rela
tions with other powers so as not to
jeopardize peace, was sent to the for
eign office for approval.
KYSTEEY SUKROUNDS DEATH
Norwalk, Conn. New York state
police were called upon by Connecti
cut authorities to help them solve
the mystery surrounding the drown
ing of Arthur Todd, 70, reputedly
wealthy and retired business man of
Belle Island. With the arrival here
of Sergeant Schneider and Trooper
Barlow, fingerprint experts, of the
New York state polict barracks at
Hawthorne, X. Y., the Connecticut
authorities disclosed that Todd was
known to have had 'S.OOO in cash in
his possession at the time of his
death. Todd's body was found late
Saturday in Long Island sound,
about a quarter mile from his pala
tial home. An autopsy showed that
death was caused by drowning, but
Dr. W. II. McMahon, medical exam
iner, and state police said the state
attorney might be called in.
The New York state troopers
photographed four glasses and a li
quor bottle found in the Todd home
Saturday after Todd had been report
ed missing.
Police proceeded on the theory
that Todd was one of several who
took part in the drinking at his home
and then was probably slain and rob
bed. MORTGAGE TURNOVER EIG
Beatrice. Reflecting improvement
of general conditions, feverish activ
ity has developed in land holdings
in Gage county during the first quar
ter cf this year, according to Dean
Coonley, register of deeds. The turn
over in mortgages and releases set a
lRew an(j possibly an all-time record

filed involving $1,6(31,993 and 227
farm mortgage releases, involving
$1,229,321. In city property, there
were 105 mortgages filed for 119,
340 and 122 released for $159, GS3.
The register's office set a new re
cord of $2,071 for fees during the
three-month period, handling 1,700
instruments. Fees for all of 1933
totaled only $2,700 or $632 more
than for the first 90-day period of

general improvement, more money

The
Good Won't
Make the Race
for Re-election
Attorney General Desire to Return
to Private Practice Issues
Statement.
Lincoln, Neb., April 17. Attorney
General Good announced today he
will not be a candidate for re-election.
The attorney general, a Lincoln;
lawyer and former Rhodes scholar,
was elected on the democratic ticket
in 1932. Among the reasons he men
tioned for not seeking re-election was
the action of the last legislature in
reducing the salary from five thou
sand dollars a year to four thousand
dollars.
While Good believes this act is un
constitutional, he said he did not
wish voluntarily to accept the re
duced salary and he did not care to
be forced to litigate a question in
which he has so much personal in
terest. Issues Statement.
Good issued this statement:
"I shall not be a candidate to suc
ceed myself as attorney general. 1
make this announcement with mixed
feelings, and only after very careful
and earnest consideration cf the mat
ter from every point of view. I feel
that I owe it to the public of the
state of Nebraska who were good

enough to elect me in. November of
1932, and to the many friends who
have urged me to run, to state some
of the reasons why I have made thi3
decision.
"I cannot afford to leave my pri
vate practice any longer. My tastes
and desires are only along legal lines.
I have no desire to hold any political
office which is not closely connected
with the law. I must leave the of
fice of attorney general eventually
and the longer that time is delayed,
the more difficult it will be to pick
up my private practice.
Prefers to Stand Aside.
"There are many other lawyers in
the state who would give excellent
service to the state in this office, and
who would fill the office better than
I. I would prefer to stand aside and
let the voters choose someone c !.-."
Mr. Good thus becomes the first
attorney-general in more than 20
years to plan to finish out his term
without becoming a candidate for
something.
NOTICE
From April 1st to Sept. 1st, my
office will be open on Wednesday and
Saturday evenings, and closed Thurs
day afterncons.
