Safety Said Lacking in Travel by Aeroplane Three Former Employes of Com merce Department Complain of That Agency. Washington. Three former em ployes of the commerce department's bureau of air commerce lashed at that agency before a senate investi gating committee, particularly at tacking the existing range of safety regulations. Still another witness, Representative Utterback, democrat, Iowa, appeared with testimony that he considered safety conditions on the nation's airways so disquieting that he was uncertain whether he wanted to travel further by air. Ut terback appeared as a character wit ness for J. A. Mount, former super intendent of maintenance of the bu reau of air commerce, who was ask ed to resign several months ago in a bureau dispute. Reiterating his charges against the bureau, Mount added to criticism voiced by Luther Harris, formerly with the bureau and now with air lines operating between Washington and Detroit ,and Jack Ilajim of New York, former radio operator in the bureau. Both of the latter asserted they had suggested improvement in safety operations, but had gotten no where. Mount and Utterback recon structed details of an investigation last May 1 by a bureau committee into Mount's conduct. At that hear ing they told the committee Mount complained that safety regulations were inadequate, radio beams were too weak, and generally that condi tions along the airways were unsat isfactory. So much was asserted about un safe conditions, Utterback testified, "that I haven't been in a plane since He added that while he want- ed to go to the forthcoming demo- Jcratic state convention in Iowa, "I'm not sure I want to fly." " : At that bureau hearing. Mount testified, he expressed the hope it would not "take a serious accident" to awaken the bureau to the validity of his charges. "That was just five days before Senior Cutting (Bron son Cutting of New Mexico) was killed in an air. crash in my state," Senator Clark, democrat, "Missouri, supplied, ..!..''.-!. .jj Mount so'pmnly nodded concur rence. It was that crash that prompt ed the present investigation by a sen ate commerce subcommittee into avia tion safety. ' THREE JUDGES AT OMAHA Omaha.

Since a . grocer and a banker were fooled, an elderly Superior man doesn't feel so bad about his mistake. He received a card notifying him of the approval of his old age pension. He thought it was the same as a check, and cashed it at a grocery store. The grocer took it to the bank, where it was accepted as a check. Furthermore, the pensioner re ceived the full amount of the pen sion, altho it wasn't issued until a third of the month was gone and he was only entitled to two-thirds of the faco amount for March. Actual checks to old age pension ers arc issued by the county treas ure rs. Friendly Set tlements Aid in Farm Problems Federal Debt Adjustment Committee Finds That Number of Cases in Court Smaller. The marked recovery in Nebraska farm property values since the end of 1934 is due in large measure to an increase in friendly debt settle ments out of court and a sharp drop in the number of farm foreclosures, according to Mr. J. V. Mendenhall, chairman of the Cass county farm debt adjustment committee. State ments of farm leaders of real estate men and federal land bank reports all show a strong recovery in farm valuations, he commented. This gain is in striking contrast to the plunge during the preceding live-year census period when Nebras ka farm land and buildings dropped from a little less than two and a half billion dollars to the end of 1929 to a little more than one and a half billions at the end of 1934. In this county farm values tumbled from around $44,G33,000 to $28,532,000 during the same period. The huge .farm mortgage debt esti mated at $561,000,000 for Nebraska and more than nine billions for the nation in 1930 had a big part in driving values far below normal by causlng many farms to be dumped on the market through foreclosure. National farm organizations say that voluntary debt adjustment com mittees of men and women working without pay in nearly every county n the nation had saved 150,000 farms from foreclosure by last September 1, when the Resettlement Administra tion took over the job of aiding these committees. In the five months from that date to February 1, Nebraska committees helped debtors and cred itors reach friendly agreements in 392 cases. Creditors in these cases voluntarily cut their debts more than one-third from about $1,1-0,000 to $735,000. Although these impartial commit tees have no legal power and cannot loan money, they often help arrange to have a loan extended or refinanced so the farmer can pay his debts in full. Farm debtors or creditors who want the advice or help of this com mittee may visit the chairman, the Resettlement office in this county, or any of the following committee mem bers: Mr. Henry Meierjurgen, Mur dock; Mr. W. A. Ost, Nehawka; Mr. K. H. Spangler, IMattsmouth. SKIPLLNE PUNISHES TARS New York. U. S.
