other thrill will be experienced by
the spectators when an airplane and
a motorcycle will vie for the honor
of crossing a goal line first. There
will be a free for all automobile race
with a second and third heat. the sec
ond for the three high men against the
two slowest drivers, and the third
heat for the leading men in the two
groups.
Not the least of the thrills to be
experienced during the carnival. Will
be furnished by the. auto polo games.
the first to be held in San Antonio.
Spills from the speeding cars are ex-
pected and anticipated. In fact the
cars are specially built to give at least
n measure of safety to the drivers and
players when the cars are capsized on
the turns.

FAR EASTERN TRADE
BOARD ABOLISHED
Unofficial Advisory Body of
Commerce Department
Ended by Klein.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, December 24-Dr. Ju-
Illus Klein, director of the Bureau of
Foreign and Domestic Commerce Of
the Department of Commerce, has
abolished the advisory committee to
its Far Eastern division, it was learn
ed yesterday.
The committee, whose headquarters
are here, was appointed by Secretary
Hoover in June, 1922. and it comprised
representatives of various corpora
tions operating in the Far East Dr.
Klein indicated the regional divisions
would deal with outside lay advisors
as individuals instead of groups The
committee here declined to discuss it's
diScontinuance and referred inquiries
to Washington. Its members are: f.
Stanley Glines, president, Lam Glines
Co., who Is chairman; NJ. A. Oudin
vice president, International General
Electric Co; Charles NJ Muchnic vice
president, American Locomotive Sales
Corporation; L. P. Thomas president
United States Steel Products Co; ].
\. Thomas, director, British-A American
Tobacco Co: Frank Waterhouse. Seat
tie, Wash. and \. l. Esberg. Chamber
of Commerce, San Francisco.
Acted in Chinese Case
The advisory committee a year and
half ago advised the Department Of
Commerce that the Chinese govern
ment's overdue foreign obligations
should be taken up before any new loans
were made, it was learned here. The
body further urged that the only relief
in sight was the application of the ~
per cent increase in Chinese customs as
provided for in the nine-power customs
treaty which grew out of the arms con-
ference and awaits only Frances rati-
fication.
1t is understood here that Mr. Hoover
forwarded the committees letter to the
State Department-but with his disap-
proval. American commercial interests
operating i'll China. realizing this COM
mittee was only advisory took advan-
tage of the Chinese indebtedness to
them to form the committee of Ameri-
can material creditors of the Chinese
government. The latter body in turn
adopted the view of the advisory com
mite as its own, and made II the basis
Of "A formal communication to the Sec
rotary of State about six week ago.
The American material creditors conf
mittee comprises, in addition to the In
ternational General Electric Co.. United
States Steel Products Co., American
Locomotive Sales Corporation and Lam
Glines Co. the following: The Robert
Dollar Co. Baldwin Locomotive Works.
American Trading Co. Anderson Meyer
& Co and the American International
Corporation.
The development of this permanent
organization of creditors out of the ad-
vfsory committee and its subsequent
fling of formal brief with the State
Department on the handling of the Far
Eastern situation have not met with
official encouragement at Washington,
ii is understood here.
