Sterling Goes Higher

London, April 27.-The foreign exchange market here registered quiet confidence in sterling exchange on New York today, touching an- other high record of 4S3 during the forenoon but eased. later to 4.S2 3-4.
 A fair amount of business was done at these rates buying coming mostly from New York sources but British firms also made purchases In the belief that this country soon will return to the gold standard.
 Winston Churchill, chancellor of the Exchequer, is expected to make some such announcement in his budget speech tomorrow.
 It is generally considered in the market here that If this announce ment is made and sterling reaches parity, large credits in America such as have been mentioned in recent reports from New York will be nec- essary to hold the pound at par against the pressure that may be brought to bear against it from out side sources.

WORLD PLIERS ARE
 GIVEN D.S. M. TODAY
Martin, Wade and Arnold Re
 CeiYe Govt. Recognition
By The Associated Press.

N"N~N"""N"
 Washington, April 27. - Major Frederick L. Martin, commander of the army world fliers' expedition, and First Lleutenants Leigh Wade and Leslie P. Arnold, members of that expedition, received today the first distinguished service medals ever given for military services per- formed in time of peace.
 The presentation ceremonies took place at the war department and were attended by officials represent Ing the army, navy. state, treasury, commerce and post office depart ments. By special act of congress, the medals were awarded to the eight world flight officers at the time some of their number also were made eligible for promotion in rank, but only Major Martin and the two lieutenants were present today to receive the decorations.
 Addressing the three fliers, Act ing Secretary of War Dwight Davis said that the occasion was marred Anly by the absence of Secretary Weeks and his inability on account of illness to make the presentations in person. He reminded the avia- tors that while the medals were small and possessed little intrinsic value they nevertheless were price less.
 "They were authorized unanimous ly by special act of congress" MT. Davis said. "Other Americans have been given distinguished service medals for exceptional services dur ing war, but no one has ever before been given this medal for services during peace. They are presented to you by the more than 110,000,00O people of the As states of this great nation. The award is a most signal honor, and, therefore, appropriate for your most signal accomplish ment."
 MT. Davis told the flicrs that the success of the flight was not due en- tirely to individual skill but that eX- cellent organization and timely and effective cooperation given by other government departments and officers had been an important contribution. In this connection he expressed the thanks of the army to Major Gen eral Patrick, chief of the army air service who. he said, was 'so large ly responsible for" the organization on the ground, of your triumph in the air" The thanks were extend- ed also to the navy and various governmental agencies for their CO., operation.
