attention to vs hat he terms certain
1>ad prijicices on the commodity
egchany -s.
He made his known in reply t<>
a press conference question today
bUe declined to commit himself
Oil the possibility of legislation af-
fecting the commodity markets.
The chief executive said he had
-conferred last week with Robert
Boylan. of the Chicago board of
trade.
The question asked Mr. Roose-
velt was whether he favored regu-
lation of the commodity exchanges
similar to the regulation of the
sock exchanges. The president re-
plied that the question was too
* broad.
He added that he had merely
been talking over the exchange
been talking over with the ex-
change officials certain had prac-
tice* in an effort to work out so- i
lUtions with the exchanges.
CHICAGO. Dec. 27—b
you a pet peeve?
Some of the nation’s best known
citizens admitted today that some
things burn them up and they
named ’em.
Science, in the person of Dr.
Mortis F’bihbein, Ameri an Medical
Association Journal editor. susgest-
tfd a good New Year's resolution
might he “no more pepves," be-
cause, he said:
‘‘'Getting burned up raises vorr
blood pressure, speeds up the hea-'t
and the glands and is generally
bad for you.”
Then in an aside, the doctor
confessed that if there's anything
he can’t tolerate it’s- the dumb
bidder in a bridge game.
It spoils the day for governor
Ribb* Graces of Alabama when
Foihehody mys “gimme.” He list-
ed “gimme a Job, gimme a road”
as examples, and declared, “when
1 get to heaven I’m going to have
that word taken out of the English
language.”
A South Carolina banker who
preferred anonymity said he dis-
liked spats so heartily that he won’t
do business with any one who wears
them.

Allred of Texas to have his wife

Overseer Wilbur Glenn Voliva of

his presence.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 27—<JP) -
An effort to obtain! funds to eta~t
building a chain of giant defensive
air bases around the nation’s bor-
ders is planned by Rep, Wilcox (D-
Fla». author of the air base act.
Wilcox said he hoped congress
■would provide more money, too, for
army fighting planes and air corps
personnel.
“1 hope to oee congress at tho
coming session recognize the abso-
lute necessity of providing funds for
bringing the general headquarters
air force up to the minimum of
980 planes recommended by the
Newton D. Baker investigating
! board, for building two new air
, bases, and for adding enough fly-
1 ers and a ground crew to man the
j plane* and bases,” Wilcox said.
“If we do that, we shall be a
long way toward putting the coun-
try' in a safer position in world
affairs. Our position is absolutely
pitiable now.”
He estimated that $75,000,000
would be needed to build the ha’f
dozen air centers contemplated :n
the air base act, passed last session,
and to make needed improvements
at existing fields. ' It would be
wise, he suggested, to build two of
the new bases annually for three
years, and at the same time stren-
gthen personnel and the army’s ait-
armada. - *
“The three things ought to go
along together," he said.

ruptcy for reorganization continu-
ed in Federal Court today.
Meyer, a former cotton belt di-
rector and naw chairman of a com-
mittee of minority stockholder*,
asserted yesertday in testimony
that the railroad’s plight is “one
of the worst case* in exploitation
of a railroad in the interest of i t-
vestment banks in the country s
history.”- i
Meyer ‘blamed H. W. De Forest,
New York capitalist and director
of the Southern Pacific Company,
which controls the Cottbn Belt, for
the latter road’s financial condi-
tion.
He said De Forest had been ho.<.
tile to the Cotton Belt ifor the lart
10 years but dictated the road’s
policies to its directors!
Senator Harrison Shoots Broadside
At“American Liberty League” Men
WASHINGTON. Dec. 27—<>P)—
The Democratic National Commit-
tee and the American Liberty
League yesetrday' fired almost sim-
ultaneous broadsides at each other.
The league. New Deal critic,
questioned whether Postmaster
General Farley was not participat-
ing in the solicitation of campaign
funds.
Farley's democrat! national com-
mittee distributed a statement by
Senator Harrison (D-Mise) which
described the league as “The Amer-
ican lobby league,” and “apoertles,
of greed.”
Jouett Shouse, league president,
replied to, a statement by \Y. For-
bes Morgan. acting democratic com-
mittee secretary, who said -the $50-
a-plato Jackson Day dinner ticket?
were not sent out in Farley's name,
“it is wholly immaterial," Shouse
Mr, Farley is chair-
said. * "■*
man of the
committee. Also he is postmaster
general. * • *” He said the crim-
inal code forbids any government
officer “directly or indirectly” sol-
i itng any assessments or contribu-
tion* for political purposes.”
“The American ’lobby’ league,”
said Harrison, “composed in large
part of a group of gripihg and
disgruntled politicians, masking
under the name o? the American
Liberty League, is undertaking to
tell congress what legislation It
shyml enact ’at the coming session.
“ * * * the league's platform is
plain. The main plank is to undo
all that the Roosevelt administra-

honest business*, the farmer, the
wage earner, the home owner, ftnd
the under-privileged citizen gener-
ally, and to return control * * *
