I WORLD PARLEY FAILURE HELD ACCIDENTAL Came at Time When Na tions Could Not Meet on Common Ground FAMED ECONOMIST OUTLINES VIEWS Copyright 1933 United Pres* LONDON, July 20.—(UP).— Sir Walter Layton, international ly known cconmist, told the Uni ted l*ress today that the first sesison of the world economic conferences had been more sue cessfu! in establishing points of difference between policies of different nations than in working out an agreed basis of co-opera tion between them. He expressed the belief that the conferees will meet again with better hope of success. Fail ure, he said, was an accident of the time of the meeting when, because of the impossibility of stabilizing currency. co-opera tion between the gold and non gold nations was impossible. MAY RESUME WHEAT CONFERENCE IN GENEVA By HARRY FLORY United Press Staff Correspondent Copyright 1933 by U. P LONDON. July 20.— (UP).— Failure of negotiations for a final worldwide agreement to regulate production and marketing of wheat before adjournment of the world economic conference be came virtually a certainty last night, although it was believed negotiations might be resumed at Geneva in September. Prospects for an agreement were dashed after nine importing nations of Europe unanimously adopted a proposal, for submis sion today, which the big four— America. Canada, Australia and Argentina—were understood to consider unacceptable in its pres ent form. The importers, who had been urged to agree to lower tariffs, merely offered “to encourage! acreage increase,’’ rather than pledging an acreage standstill. They also made lower tariffs de pendent on increased world con sumption. Delegates appeared to he la boring with more success toward an accord to check fluctuation of silver prices. Two other important negotia-1 ►ions, involving coffee and sugar. I appeared to be without hope ol positive results. The American delegates block ed an attempt to include the wheat negotiations in the confer ence work at the moment an in ternational agreement seemed to be at hand. For days Prime Min ister J. Ramsey MacDonald of Britain, had worked to bring the wheat talks into the conference because a wheat agreement prom ises to be the only tangible achievement. The negotiations have not been a regular part of the conference. FORESEE REPEAL BY CHRISTMAS, IS SAID WASHINGTON, July 20. (UP).

Bowers today he had authorized the release on bail of five Americans imprisoned on Mallorca island. By IAN FRASEH United Pre*» Staff Correspondent PALMA, MALLORCA. July 20. (UP).—The five Americans, in cluding one woman, whose im prisonment here for 43 days cre ated a serious problem for Span ish and American diplomats, will be sentenced to short prison terms when they face trial on charges of assaulting a civil guard, ac cording to a decision disclosed ^ast night. In view of the fact that the Americans alreadv had been in the municipal jail jince June 4, it 'was believed possible that they al ready would have served their n’v.bable terms and therefore might be released, but this was not definitely known. The prisoners are Clinton B. Lockwood of Springfield, Mass.; Mrs. Lockwood, who has been con fined in a cell near that of a de mented woman; Rutherford Ful lerton, Columbus, Ohio; Roderick F. Mead, New York; and Edmund W. Blodgett, Stamford. Conn.

ALLEN SMITH , JniiteiJ Press Staff Correspondent NEW YORK, July 20— (UP). Their giant motors droning an imperious salute to America's first metropolis, General Italo Balbo’s 24 Italian fighting seaplanes swept down the Hudson valley yester day, veered across the flatlands of Brooklyn and came to rest on the waters of Jamaica Bay. A 10-gun salute and a deafen ing roar of acclaim from a crowd of 75,000 greeted General Balbo and his air adventurers as they dropped from the hazy sky to complete a thousand mile flight from Chicago. In addition to the 76,000 per sons concentrated at Floyd Ben nett Field and along the bay shore, police estimated that fully 500,000 more gathered along the Coney Island boardwalk to watch the armada, flying in triads, move majestically through giant fingers of sunlight which filtered from the clouds. i General Balbo brought his lead ship to the water at 3:56 p. in., and 23 minutes later the last of the six and a half ton planes was cutting gracefully across the bay! toward its moorings. The Balbo fleet reached Ja maica Bay seven hours and 14 minutes after its departure from Chicago, having flown eastward via Toledo, Cleveland, and Ni agara Falls, veering southward to pick up the Hudson near Pough keepsie, and following the water route down to the tip of Man hattan.

(UP).—A furious selling drive hammered cotton downward today to losses of $4 to $5 per bale. Tbe trading ring on cotton, the exchange floor was in a tumult as Wail Street operators and ware houses dumped large blocks of cot ton. Violent fluctuations in grain prices were brought about by fear of government intervention in speculative markets and the state ment by General Hugh Johnson on "distortion” of prices contributed to the break. Another drive against ‘wet” stocks sent that group down from 2 to 15 points in early afternoon trading. On the stock exchange tbe whole market sold off after early firmness. September and December wheat sank 7 cents and 10 cents to a dollar per bushel. Wall Street regarded the action in line with the usual procedure— secondary reaction after brief re covery. WASHINGTON.

(UP) —Frank R. McNinch of Charlotte, yesterday was appointed chairman of the federal power commission to succeed George Otis Smith.

His term is due to expire. June 20, 1934. Until his promo tion he served as commission vice chairman, a position refilled today by election of Basil Manley.

Smith resigned the commission chairmanship yesterday. In his mesage of resignation tp the president he said: “As I assured you in April I am prompted to take this step by my sincere wish to cooperate and my full agreement with your nat ural desire to have the head of the commission one of your own selection. “My intimate experience of the past two and one-half years has served to strengthen my belief in the feasibility and wisdom of the federal water power act, and, while I remain on the commission, this change in duties will in no wise effectmy continued endeavor to promote the movement toward a better regulation of business which is so outstanding a policy of your administration.” Smith’s term expires in 1935.

(UP)'. Indication that James Mattern, stranded world flier, was proceed ing to Nome, Alaska, aboard Sov iet plane was contained today in a Soviet radio message, picked up by the coast guard cutter, North land. KHABAROVSK, Siberia. July 20.— (-UP).—Wiley Post, recov ering all the time he had lost in recent delays, arrived here from Rukhlovo at 8:36 p. m., (EDT) Wednesday and took off at 10:58 p. m. for Fairbanks, Alaska and the American continent, halting only for fuel and to have the Win nie Mae overhauled. The American “iron man” took off on the 3,000 mile hop to Fair banks, by far the most dangerous of all he ha? made to date, three hours and 16 minutes ahead of the record he and Harold Gatty made two years ago, a record he hopes to better alone by arriving at Floyd Bennett Field, Now York, before 9:01 p. m. (EDT) Sunday. CHITA, U. S. S. R., July 20.— (UP). — Wiley Post, dashing around the world for a new speed record, narrowly escaped death Wednesday when his big mono plane scraped the tree tops in a forced landing at the town of Rukhlovo, on the Manchurian bor der. The American flier, who had overcome many dangers to put himself a few hours ahead of the Post-Gatty globe-circling record, needed all of his nerve and skill to bring the Winnie Mae down safely at 2:32 p. m. Moscow time (7:32 a. m. EDT) on a rough field at Rukhlov, 800 miles east of Irkutsk. Post left Irkutsk yester day morning for Blagoveshchensk. The plane had fought heavy rains along the route from Irk utsk end Post was almost exhaust ed when he was forced down 285 miles short of his immediate goal. He shot the Winnie Mae down over the trees, apparantly mis judged the distance and plunged the craft through the uppermost branches. The underside of the fuselage was badly scratched by the limbs, but Post quickly righted the plane and landed without serious dam age. He was extremely tired but said he would proceed to Khaba rovsk, about 660 miles eastward, early Thursday. Meanwhile, some 1,800 miles further along the route to Alaska, at Anadyr, James Mattern pre pared to resume his globe-circling journey with the aid of a daring Russian pilot who risked his life to assist the unfortunate Ameri can aviator. Matterr and his Rus sian rescuer. Pilot Levanevsky, hoped to leave Anadry at dawn Thursday for Alaska. Upon landing at Rukhlovo, Post had covered a total of 8,170 miles in 98 hours. 22 minutes out of New York. When he left Irkutsk he was three hours ahead of the Post-Gatty record, and about the same when he landed at Rukhlovo, although comparison of times at Rukhlovo was made difficult by the fact that Post and Harold Cat ty did not stop there. The time of departure of Post eastward will show his comparison as every hour he spends on the ground throws him further behind. Post was sighted at Verkhncu dinsk soon after leaving Irkutsk at 7 a. m. Moscow time, 12 a. m. EDT. The Oklahoma flier had a good rest at Irkutsk and—approximate ly at the half way mark—ap (Continued on page three) TUBE GUESSES Cl Name c HIM kt « Wk) IS SEARCHING j THIS TERRITORY j FDR POSSIBLE AIRPLANE LAND-!
