THE BEE: OMAHA. WEDNESDAY. JANUARY 12. 1921. 5 Jefferis Will Continue Air Mail Item Fight pmaha Congressman Writes .Chairman of Senate Com mittee Urging Appropria tion Be Put Back. By E. C. SNYDER. fCaMnitton fermpondcnt Omh B. Washington. Jan. 11. (Special Telegram.) "We have ' just , be gun to fight,'' Said Congressman Jefferis yesterday, paraphrasing , a famous utterance of a noted Amer ican, as he talked of the action of the house on Saturday in striking out. on n point of order, the appro p iatiun : " $1,250,000 for air mail scivii'f ii I'ostoffice appropria tion Lil! n'por: r i m the appro priations coinnitt'tci . "My contention is t'u.a la? point bf order was not well taken because it had reference to something al ready in existence and daily dem onstrating its practicability as an adjunct in mail transportation. I nm of the opinion of Congressman Martin of Illinois that the fact that the air mail service is an "existing service" should have been taken in to consideration by the chairman of the committee of the whole house. Mr. McArthur of Oregon, and should have had the same consid eration as matters of a like charac ter and treated in both army and navy bills. However, I propose to follow the matter up to the senate committee on postoffice and post roads and see if we cannot get the item restored in that body." Writes Committee Chairman. "Big Jeff" wrote Senator Town send, chairman of the postoffice and post roads committee, today, call ing his attention to the item for air mail service and among other things said: "In the bill as passed for the fiscal year ending June 30. 1921. we find the following: 'For the purchase of such airplanes as may be necessary to establish, operate and maintain airplane mail service between New York and San Francisco by way of Chicago and Omaha: for the opera tion "and maintenance of such air planes, including stations, equipment, tools and machinery and other inci dental expenses, and for such per sonnel as may be necessary there for. $1,250,000. The postoffice ap propriation bill for the Sscal year 1922, as reported to the House "last : iveek, contained this provision: j For Operation of Service. 'tr .t,-. j . i ii mc vpciduuii aim mainte nance of airplane mail service be tween such points as may be desig nated by the postmaster general, in cluding necessary incidental . ex penses and employment of neces sary personnel, $1,250,000. "In the debate on this section of the bill I took occasion to state my reasons for advocating this service and its continuance and with the as sistance of Representative Mann sought to show that this being an established service it should not be subject to a point of order.. Our position was not sustained by the chair,, which ruled 'that, sinca the paragraph gives the postmaster gen eral authority to go beyond existing work in progress, it is a legislative provision and. subject to a point of order. ' Two Ends Served. "I cannot agree 'with the chair. There is an existing work in prog ress and I feel that we serve to very important ends through it; namely, we render a service to com mercial industry and at the same time advance the art of flying and train aviators for use in times of emergency. My argument to the chair more fully sets fortlA hese facts. "It is probably true that the lan guage of the section of the pending bill may be challenged and I have underscored the particular line, but it would seem that the paragraph should stand even if that portion were stricken o,ut." Census Bureau Loss Placed at $2?000,000 Washington, Jan. 11.
