A strike of approximately commercial air pilots, threatened for Thursday WAS averted conference of fliers and transport company officials with Chairman Wagner of the national labor board. The contemplated strike was planned in protest against a new wage scale that became effective Oct.

1 and which fliers contended would have meant reduced wages. Transport officials and the. fliers' representatives accepted 8 proposal by Wagner for an investigation by a fact finding committee and 8 decision by the board which would be retroactive to Oct. 1.

Wagner said both sides had agreed to accept the board's decision. RELIEF DRIVES HURT BY RADICAL TALKERS Chest Finds Definite Program to Break Down Orderly Welfare. Despite the number of encouraging increases which have been coming in during the first three days of the community chest drive, the fact that there are fewer persons employed in the community along with a number of decreased subscriptions has more than offset the increases, according to Chairman Van Horne. The situation is serious, Mr. Van Horne said, as indicated by the fact that but 795 has been reported during the first three days of the present campaign compared with more than $92,000 for the same period last year.

Campaign officials said Wednesday afternoon that nationwide relief experience has revealed that thousands of responsible citizens in communities all over the country as well as in Lincoln are being misled by propaganda spread by communists and other radical ganizations in order to destroy relief and increase the cost of the relief burden. Communism has made little headway in Lincoln and is generally discredited by thinking people, the campaign leaders said, but many intelligent persons have been led astray by radical elements, not realizing where the propaganda is originating. This propaganda is being issued, it was declared, in order to further a definite six point program as follows: 1. To intimidate and eliminate skilled relief workers (Personal intimidation, riots, cry of much 2. To foment discontent among relief clients.

(Agitators at relief stations, meetings, scandal demands for more relief.) To interrupt the orderly handling relief. (Oppose consolidated relief funds and bards because they eliminate duplication and turn down unworthy appeals.) 4. To increase further the relief burden by encouraging people not in need of relief to apply for it. (Agitation for more federal relief, which automatically increases applications for "easy 5. Fighting all self-help and work-relief programs.

(To pauperize clients and arouse class hatred). 6. Persuading relief clients not to seek nor accept re-employment. The purpose of the six tactics, as outlined by national relief leaders, is SO to increase the relief burden that financially embarrassed governments will break down, the desperate unemployed revolt, and usher in the communist millenium. The American plan of relief as followed by the Lincoln chest and hundreds of other communities, is reduce the the (Continued on Page 4, Col.

IN HISTORY." FOUNDED IN 1867. LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, BONUS RULED OUT AS DEAD ISSUE IN LEGION MEETING MEMBER MEMBER Effort of a Minority Group to Revive It Has Gone A-Glimmering. CHICAGO. (P). Hopes of a minority group to revive demands for immediate payment of the bonus went glimmering, apparently beyond recall, as the Americans Legion's annual convention met in its first business session.

the convention busied itself with child welfare, keeping the legion out of politics and selecting Miami, for next year's gathering, a legislative committee ruled the bonus had no place in the deliberations. Resolutions urging payment of the veterans' adjusted compensation certificates, some of them unqualifiedly and others in the event of currency inflation, were voted down. The resolutions had been presented to the committee by six states South Dakota, Illinois, Michigan, Texas, Pennsylvania, and Missouri. "The resolutions were voted down," said Harry W. Colmery, of Topeka, chairman of the committee, "because most of the committee members and a majority of all legionnaires, believe our biggest problem is rehabilitation the disabled veterans.

Deinands for bonus payments, we believe, might interfere with the rehabilitation program." Congressman Patman of Texas, fighter payment of the bonus, was its only champion before the committee. He indicated he would not attempt to bring the matter to the convention floor. The committee adopted, however, a minority report from a sub-committee urging cancellation of interesc on loans made by veterans against their adjusted compensation certificates. Colmery estimated veterans. had borrowed up to 50 percent of "If the I value can't of their a get might as well take a half," Patman said, referring to failure of the bonus movement, but success in moving toward cancelling the interest on loans.

Virtual removal of the bonus as an issue left the Legion's four point program for rehabilitation as the only proposal for veterans' legislation. The program calls for federal hospitalization of all veterans, no matter what source of their ailments or injuries, restoration of compensation benefits made last March, and care for widows and orphans of veterans. Except for declaring every former service man entitled to federal hospitalization at any time and for cause, the program deals only with those veterans whose troubles date back to injuries suffered or diseases contracted during actual military service. No provision is 1 made for compensation payments to veterans beset 1 by illness, injuries or economic troubles since the end of the war. Under the plan, free hospitalization would be the only government grant to them.

However, for those wounded, injured or diseased in military service, the plan would restore all benefits removed or reduced under the economy act of last March, which trimmed 300 millions 8 year from benefits. Widows and orphans likewise would be provided for as they were prior to the economy act. The American Legion shall be absolutely non-political and shall not be used for the dissemination of partisan principles nor for the promotion of the candidacy of any person seeking public office or preferment," declared a resolution which the convention adopted for (Continued on Page 4, Col. 2.)

Urschel was followed by word from Denver that federal authorities had information they believed would reveal an attorney as the "master mind" in the abduction plot. J. V. Roberts, Enid attorney, after a conference with. Kathryn Kelly, the former bootlegger's wife, told newsmen she would plead not guilty, but that Kelly would plead guilty, appearing as a witness in his wife's behalf.

Mrs. Kelly's father, J. E. Brooks, attended the conference. He has said he will aid financially in the defense of his daughter.

Mrs. ly's mother, Mrs. Ora Shannon and her stepfather, R. G. Shannon, are among the seven persons convicted last week for the kidnap conspiracy.

Roberts quoted Mrs. Kelly as saying she would file suit to prevent the $15,000 reward, offered for capture of her. and her husband, from being paid to "anyone else." This was interpreted as meaning she would claim the reward on the ground she had been planning to surrender before officers surrounded the home of Kelly's brother in law by his first marriage, Langford Ramsey, in Memphis last week and captured the fugitive. Ramsey also was taken into custody. New evidence being checked by Val Zimmer, department agent at Denver, with Washington and Oklahoma City federal authorities which they say may identify Ramsey, a Memphis attorney, as the "master mind" in the Urschel abduction.

Officers said nine Denver residents identified two men woman who were in Denver recently as the Kellys and Ramsey. A federal grand jury at Dallas indicted Will Casey and Cassie Earl Coleman, Coleman county farmers, charged with harboring the Kellys. Both cases were ordered trial at the next term of court. Arraignment the Kellys will precede the sentencing of the seven convicted persons, set for Saturday. Motions for new trials on behalf of those convicted will be completed before the weekend.

When Judge Vaught returns from a few days of rest, legal jockeying that will bring the case to a close will quickly be terminated, at least for the time being. The Kellys are scheduled to to trial Monday, Kathryn alone, if her husband pleads guilty. LINDBERGHS TELL I NO I PLANS Leave Southampton Airport Separately After Flight. SOUTHAMPTON. (P).

Twenty-six bodies had been recovered from the ruins of a disastrous forest fire in Griffith park, the city's main playground, 8 twenty-seventh victim died in a hospital, and fire officers expressed belief no others had perished, saying "nearly every foot" of the burned area had been searched. Those who perished were R.F.C. unemployment relief workers on park roads, called late Tuesday to fight a small blaze starting near the golf course. Most of the known dead and the more than 125 injured were trapped in a box-like canyon. The wind shifted and sent the flames toward them.

Scenes of horror followed as they struggled to More than 1,000 acres of were escapend burned over, Fire and police officials at first attributed the fire to a carelessly discarded cigaret or match. Later, Hollywood detectives arrested Robert D. 29, for questioning. He had been found, they said, near the scene of some small new blazes started early Wednesday. The officers said Barr admitted he started a fire in Griffith park at 10 o'clock Tuesday night but denied having been responsible for the main fire, which began burning nearly eight hours earlier.

Only a few of the victims had been identified. Piteous scenes were enacted at the county morgues, which were besieged by families and relatives of some of the 3,784 park employes who were still unaccounted for.

Most of bodies the thus far remissing probably were working in emergency camps or confined to emergency aid stations. While the mayor and district attorney started official investigations, Coroner Nance announced that an inquest will be held next Wednesday. Fire Chief Scott blamed the tragedy on the fact that men inexperienced with forest fires were sent to quell the park blaze.

"Had there been anyone there with experience in fighting brush he said, "or any experienced fireman, the men who dropped their work on the road grades to battle the would have been ordered to safety. The men who first saw the fire were deceived because it appeared to them to be small. Little they knew how fast dry brush can spread a fire." Some of the victims were identified only by key rings, watches, jewelry and knives which their relatives knew they had carried.

Copyright by NANA, inc. ('The Journal and other newspapers.) The horror of inflation may not last more than a generation, but while it lasts, like the horror of war, it brings a powerful reaction.

Napoleon Bonaparte saw enough of inflation in the terrible years 1790-1796 to convince him of its fallacious and dangerous nature. When he took the consulship, conditions were appalling. The government was bankrupt, the troops were unpaid, and further collection of taxes appeared impossible. Nevertheless, when asked at his first cabinet meeting what he intended to do, Napoleon replied: "I will pay cash or nothing!" And he carried out that promise to the letter. "While I live," he declared when he was hard pressed on another occasion, "I will never resort to irredeemable paper." And in 1810, indicating that there had been no diminution of his hatred for this specious device, he wrote to his prefects: "The emperor considers paper money the greatest curse of nations, as fatal to their morale as the plague is to their physical well There is a similar note in the pronouncements of German statesmen today a decade after the collapse of the mark.

WASHINGTON. Spokesmen for Great Britain and the United States will gather Thursday to see what be done about reducing the British, war debt to this government. Sir Frederick Leith-Ross and T. K. Bewley, representing the London government, will meet Dean Acheson, undersecretary of the treasury, and Dr.

Frederick Livesey, assistant economic advisor to the state department, in Acheson's office for a preliminary discussion of the problems involved. Primarily, they will be confronted with the task of reconciling the popular British demand for an end of payments with the view of an American congress openly hostile to cancellation or reduction. The figures before them will show the London government has contracted to pay a total of 000,000 in semi-annual installments spread over the next fiftyone years. A payment of 183 millions falls due in December. 'The debt arises from loans of $3,696, 000,000 before the armistice and 518 millions shortly afterward.

Accrued interest ran the total to 633,000,000 in the next few years and effective December, 1922, the debt was funded at $4,600,000,000, with the interest and principal payments totalling $11,105,965,000 scheduled for the ensuing sixtytwo years. Since then the London government has paid 000 in principal and interest. The unpaid balance now totals 810,000. American officials expect the British to make a lump sum offer, which rumor has placed at about 10 percent of the unpaid principal. Such a settlement already has been roundly denounced in congress, which has the final say on the question, regardless of what the representatives of the two governments agree on.

Officials said stabilization of the pound and dollar undoubtedly will figure importantly in their discussions, altho no final conclusions on this point can be reached at this time.

FOUR KILLED ON HAVANA STREETS DURING LOOTING Renewal Violence Coincident With Tropical Storm on the Island. HAVANA. (A).

Four persons met death as looting broke out on the waterfront section of uptown Havana during the height of the second phase of a tropical storm which lashed over the city. There was wild firing when patrolling soldiers, sailors and members of the Caribbean army sought to disperse groups of hoodlums on San Lazaro st. A soldier was fatally wounded, a sailor was killed and two Negroes were shot to death. Thruout the city the assembling of groups was forbidden. Army headquarters announced all available soldier and sailors had been posted in the center of the city under strict orders to kill looters and suspicious looking persons.

An ABC radical and a civilian were wounded by shots from an automobile which fatally wounded the soldier. Along the waterfront drive the water was three feet deep with waves dashing over the sea walls. The national observatory predicted gales would sweep Havana thruout the night. Belen observatory reported a maximum wind velocity of eighty-two miles per hour during the second phase of the hurricane. Its intensity was increasing.

Those wounded during the street fighting were taken to an emergency hospital which, like much of the rest of the city, was without light. Physicians were unable to operate until they rigged up kerosene lamps. Observatory reports indicated the new course of the storm might endanger Key West and southern Florida. The local weather observatory that the center of the disturbance passed over the city at approximately 8:30 a. m.

A five hour period of comparative calm followed, only to be succeeded by steadily increasing gusts. The Red Cross advised residents along the waterfront to evacuate since tidal wave was thought possible. Mountainous waves dashed tons of water over the malecon. Telephone lines were down from Havana to Matanzas province, where the storm apparently struck Tuesday night, and to many interior points. The government announced that officers imprisoned after the National hotel battle Monday had given permission to receive mail.

They will be removed within a few days to the Isle of Pines prison. Many trees were blown down thruout the city in the blow and waterfront property and boats damaged. City streets were largly deserted. PEP TALK ON STREET CARS Incentive to Employes to Work Up Business. DETROIT.

PRESIDENT ASKS A UNITED EFFORT IN RELIEF WORK Harder Part Still Ahead and the Government Cannot Do It All. Text of the president's New York addresses is on Page 2. NEW YORK. (P). Before the national conference of Catholic charities, President Roosevelt praised the nation for liar relief efforts and called state, city, church and private institutions to redouble the efforts for the "harder part ahead." The president, who received a cheering reception, was applauded heartily by the crowd in the auditorium of the hotel as he asserted: "We have ventured and we have won; we shall venture further and we shall win again." Mr.

Roosevelt was surrounded on the platform by high church dignitaries and prominent men of New York City, including Alfred E. Smith and Mayor O'Brien. Mr. Smith slapped the president on his shoulder as the latter passed him walking to his seat. Smiling, Mr.

Roosevelt whispered in Smith's ear as he passed. Again Mr. Roosevelt was interrupted with lusty applause as he remarked: "Leadership I have tried to give, but the great and most important fact has been the wholehearted reresponse of America." "This is the time when you and I know," he said, "that tho we have proceeded a portion of the way, the longer, harder -part still lies ahead, and that it is for us to redouble our efforts to care for those who must still depend upon relief, to prevent the dol disintegration of home life, and stand by the victims of the depression until it is definitely passed. "The federal government has inaugurated new measures of relief on a vast -scale, but the federal government cannot, and does not intend, to take over the whole job. Many times I have insisted that every community and every state must first do their share." Mr.

Roosevelt made no reference to recovery policies, except to say that the revival of industry and agriculture "call for a willingness to sacrifice individual gains, to work together for the public welfare and for the success of a broad. national. program of recovery." "You who have participated in the actual day-to-day work practical and useful charity understand well that no program of recovery can suddenly restore all our people to selfsupport," he warned. "The spirit of our people has not been daunted. It has come thru the trials of these days unafraid.

We have ventured and we have won; we shall venture further and we shall win. The traditions of a great people have been enriched, I can never express in words what the loyalty and trust of the nation have meant to me. Not a have I doubted that climb out of the fore moment, valley of gloom. Always have been certain that we would quer, because the America springs from faith--faith in the beloved institutions of our land, and a true and abiding faith in the divine guidance of God." Mr. Roosevelt opened his address with the statement: "In the midst of material things--in the machine age of invention, of finance, of international suspicion and renewed armament- everyone of us must satisfaction and strength in the knowledge that social justice is becoming an ever growing factor and influence in almost every part of the world.

With every passing year I become more confident that humanity is moving forward to the practical application of the teachings of Christianity as they affect the individual lives of men and women." Cardinal Hayes, who sat beside the president on the speaker's platform, followed the chief executive with a brief address to which Mr. Roosevelt listened before departing for a special train to carry him back to Washington. The president and his party entered the hall nearly two hours before he delivered his address. Mr. Roosevelt was escorted by his military aide, Col.

For a time the "flight from the mark" -the frenzied efforts of everyone to get rid of currency before, it depreciate further- -created a sort of madhouse form of business activity. But as the rate of deterioration of the mark progressed, money, as always happens, seemed to be becoming scarcer and scarcer, and the sufferings of the workers and persons of relatively fixed incomes increased. College professors were forced to eke out a frugal existence on salaries equivalent $10 month in prewar currency, bank officials on $30 to $40 a month.
