Grip
Btnkes and stock market slumps
s agger the New Dealers who hoped
to get through the summer with
“Mng colors. Administration big-
wigs are doing their level best to
head off strikes and bolster up mar-
ket conditions.
Although keen ones like Oon
Johnson saw labor troubles coming
they didn’t expect a landslide Jihr-
son sidestepped or was shunted
aside after he failed to settle the
steel quarrel. His speeches told the
people that NRA was not In the
business of settling strikes. Cynics
retorted that NRA simply started la-
bor troubles, leaving it to somebody
else to settle them.
But Johnson Is now working over-
time on the problems. He hurried
back here to head off several strikes
that are in the offing.
It's expected that President Roose-
velt will take a firm grip on the sit-
uation when he lands on the coast.
His presence in the trouble zone will
be no more reassuring to the coun-
try than to Washington. A quorum
of the cabinet—Morgenthau, Par-
ley. Iqkcs, Wallace and Roper—will
be there to assist and advise him.
Hints arc thrown out in New Deal
agencies that matters will take on
a new complexion immediately
thereafter. Observers here think
capital and labor stole a march on
FDR while he was listening to the
Wild waves.

(U.R) MEANS UNITED PRESS
VOLUME 43, NO. 97.
A general increase of from three
to 20 cents in grains on the El Reno
and Canadian counly markets Sat-
urday resulted in wheat quotations
of an equal to those of nearly a year
ago, when the offering was 85 cents
per bushel.
Saturday's quotation of 85 cents
showed a threc-cent gain over Fri-
day and a total Increase of four
cents In the past two days. It was
in August 1933 that wheat on the
local markets was last quoted this
high.
Rye was increased from 50 to 70
cents per bushel; yellow and white
corn No. 2 from 70 to 75 cents; mix-
ed corn No. 2 from 68 to 73 cents;
white kafir No. 2, from 60 to 70
cents; oats from 42 to 45 cents.

Air Army
Aviators who lust and long for
a "unified" air service—that w. a
United States air army independent1,1'orlcr Sentenced to Year
of the Army and Navy—are yearn-
ing in vain. Former Secretary of
War Baker's committee gave the
proposal a terrific wallop while urg-
ing increase of Army planes. But
Congress needs no committee reports
to stiffen Its opposition to creation
of a new war department.
The chief objection In Congress to
an air war department 1* the cost.
Immense sums must, be put up for t he
Army nnd Navy. Counting pensions
nnd bonuses the chief expenditures
of the Untied States have been for
the Army and Navy. To add an air
army, with all Its civil personnel,
would mean tin additional annual
outgo running Into tens of millions.
Lealislutora pooh-pooh the rlalm
that aviation is so techntrnl and
abstruse that it can't be homologat-
ed with the Army and Navy. They
rlass airplanes as merely a new
weapon, like a flying gun. which can
he assimilated easily in military
and naval tactics nnd strategy.
They speak of tanks as a new wea-
pon. too. but they don't see why
there should be a national tank
army Independent of the War De-
pnrtment.
Oen. "Billy” Mllrhell breathes
blood and thunder agalnat the Raker
hoard because it opposes a separate
air service
and tar away, like the erho of an
old battle.
Nothing seems more improbable
lust now than the creation of a sep-
arate air war department. FDR's
lienrt is on relief and recovery, not
on war preparation. Hta friends here
don’t believe he would approve ex-
traordinary outlays tor an air force
mi any scale mmparabt* with the
i.i'keep ot the Army and Navy,
