 Senator Heflin favored amending the federal reserve law so that the federal reserve board would be com pelled to recognize staple cotton as a basis for credit.
 Ways and means of rehabilitating the cotton industry and putting it on a pre-war basis were discussed at the opening session. Leading cot ton growers and government officials warned that the country faced the shortest cotton crop in the last 25 years and that unless steps were taken to make market and restore the staple to a profitable price a greater shortage would result in the next few years.

AIR TRAGEDY BREAKS UP AMBULANCE FLIGHT.
(AssocIated Press Nlght wirel

WASHINGTON. D. C.. May 3O.-
 Five army officers and two civilians were killed in fall in an army air ambulance near Morgantown, Md.
 The dead are: Amos A. Batchel- der, Washington, chairman of the executive board of the American Automobile association; Morris Con .nehy, Dubuque, Iowa. major in the aviation reserve corps; Lieutenant Colonel Archie Miller, pilot; Lieu tenant Stanley Ames; Lieutenant Mc- Dermott; Lieutenant Penny Wifi; Mechanic Sergeant Blumer; Krantz.
 Army officials are preparing for aa official investigation of the crash of the air ambulance, The fact that every occupant of the machine was killed makes 1t appear doubtful that the exact cause ever twill be develop ed. The plan, Curtiss Eagle, was a return trip from. Langley Field, Virginia, to Washington when the crash occurred. The pilot ap- parently attempted to land while lie was driven in hundred-mile wind, losing control and making nose dive to the earth, smashing the plane;
 Captain De Laverghe, military at tache of the French embassy, who went in the Eagle from Washington, said last night, in his opinion, the Eagle was unbalanced.
 Tt had small motor" he said. of only 400 horsepower. The weight was too much; the pilot could not control it."
 Representatives Campbell of Kan sas and Walsh of Massachusetts, who went to Langley Field in the plane, also returned by boat. Mr. Campbell said that the element of safety had not entered into their decision not to return in the Eagle; that both of them were Seasick.
 "On the way to Langley Field the air was rough and bumpy," he said. We had a wonderfully good pilot. He would run into an airbank like it was hillside and then the machine would drop, some times more than 100 feet"
 Brigadier General Mitchell, assist ant chief of the army air service, who accompanied the Eagle to Lang ley field and who had a battle with the storm during his return, said Lieutenant Ames,. piloting the Eagle, was considered a very good pilot
 We felt no concern for his safe ty," he said, "and when the Eagle circled over the field a couple of times before starting for Washing

PARIS, May 3G-Little American flags and poppy-dotted wreaths marked the graves of every one oi the 40 odd thousand American soldier dead remaining in France and the few hundred scattered throughout Europe.
 Even to the single mound on Gi- braltar, America had remembered.
 The Americans, comparatively few. shared with the French their sad tasks of honoring those who had died in the great cause. The French took part in every ceremony and in places where perhaps there was only single grave and the American committee was able to send only one representative, French patriotic so- cieties organized services.
