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. '

C ASHES A NOTIFICATION
Superior, Neb. 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. Shipping Com
missioncr Daly announced the Pan
ama Pacific line had penalized 60
members of the deck crew of the liner
California for participating in a three
day delay in the ship's sailing from
San Pedro, Calif.
Daly, who said he was awaitinfi
a decision from the department of
justice as to whether the actions of
the seamen constituted mutiny, add
ed that none of the crew wa3 being
detained, aboard or elsewhere, but
that the 60 men had been docked
from three to six days' pay each.
LESS FEAR OF DIPHTHERIA
Mitchell, Neb. Fear of a possible
spread of diphtheria in CCC camp
759 near here was minimized Tues
day as only three cases, all minor,
were reported by tamp officers after
50 enrolecs were tested for the dis
ease. Fear of a possible epidemic was
expressed following the death Sun
day of Clair Record, 20, Stromsburg
youth and member of the camp, of
septic diphtheria. An army airplane
flew testing supplies and immuniz
ation material here Monday.
Inflated or ordinary dollars
either kind will still buy most if
expended in your home commun
ity; where a part is retained to
help meet the tax Duraen and
other community obligations.
