NATION ATTAlNS 4 RECORD LEVEL
 OF PROSPERITY
so DECLARES SECRETARY OF TREASURY IN HIS ANNUAL
 REPORT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. (P-The nation has attained a record level of incomes, and there is likely to
 be no ebbing of the high tide of pros
 perity, Secretary Mellon reported to Congress in his annual review of Treasury activities.
 MT. Mellon declared the domestic situation was such that i've can look to another satisfactory year." The strength of the prosperity, he added, is the "broadness of it's base" and while spending has increased, so have saving accounts, life insurance writ ings and the purchasing of sound securities by small investors.
 In suggesting that Congress make no move to continue the life of the War Debt Refunding commission, which expires next February, he did not even mention the possibility of further negotiations with France. and emphasized that this government has maintained a consistent policy against cancellation; that there has been no thought of cancellation from the very outset.
 The commission has negotiated set dement's representing S9,S11,O94,O94 or 97 per cent of the total, the sec retary said.
 Proneuncing the debt situation of the government sound. MT. Mellon pointed out that in the seven years since the close of the war the public debt has been cut by s5,S41,2S9,845 to s19,643,216,315 on last July l.. A reduction of sS72,977,572 was made in the last year.
 We have worked hard and we have progressed" the secretary con- tinued. During the year commodi- ty prices generally have declined slightly and farm prices have not yet been restored to their relative po- sition as compared with all prices. There is little unemployment and wages are good"

PLANS DOUBTFUL
Navy as Yet Has Considered
No Effort to Build Planes
for Race in Italy.

The Navy as yet has given no con-
sideration to plans for building new
racing planes, going over to Italy and
endeavoring to win permanent posses
sion of the Schneider international
seaplane trophy. which was captured
at Norfolk, Saturday afternoon. by
Maj. Mario De Bernardo of the Italian
royal air force.
Secretary Wilbur yesterday asserted
that, in the near future, the entire
matter would be given thorough CON
sideration. but he would not predict
whether the Navy, as the representa-
tive of American seaplane activities,
would withdraw from future racing
competition and leave the way open
to private enterprise.
Private Interests Busy.
Private enterprise. however, is
already at work on the task of bring
ing back to America the maximum
speed record for any type aircraft,
now held by France at 278 miles per
hour for a straightaway course OF
three kilometers. a racing plane now
is under construction at Garden City,
Long Island, for Lieut.. AL. Williams,
naval aviator, and holder of the Amer
ican land plane speed record of 266
miles an hour. This project is being
financed by a group of air enthusf'
asts and involves more than $4,000
The most this plane when completed
could do toward recapturing Maj. oil
Bernardi's records, without entering
the Schneider Trophy race in Italy.
is to better the 100 and 600 kilometer
marks, set up by the little Italian Sat-
IF n
meters itself is not recognized Off
cially as a speed record, only the 100
and 200 kilometers being regarded as
such.
Chance for Record.
However, Lieut.. Williams would
have the opportunity to capture the
maximum seaplane record for three
kilometers, which. it is understood
here, Mai de Bernardo will attempt at
Hampton Roads tomorrow. Although
the Italians closed triangle course
speed bettered the straightaway rec
ord held by Lieut.. James H. Dolittle,
Army Air Corps. the jor neverthe-
less will have to roar up and down the
course in groups of four trips until he
is satisfied with the average of the
grouped flights.
Should the Navy withdraw from
racing altogether. the only defender
of the Schneider Trophy. which with
one more win will be Americas per
manent possession. on the horizon is
the Williams mystery ship" How
ever, there was sufficient optimism in
aeronautical circles here today to in
dicate that the United States Govern
ment would not abandon racing, be-
cause the designs and construction of
these craft produced the nucleus for
better service type planes.

Passage of Bill Would Bring

Five good jobs with the United
States Government are to be filled by
President Coolidge as soon as. Con.
gress passes whatever radio legisla
ton 1t approves. Under the terms of
either the White or the Dill radio
measure. q radio commission, offer
ing good salaries, will be established
composed of FIVE members to be ap.
pointed by the Chief Executive.
Although the commissionerships
would be more attractive from a
financial standpoint, should the Dill
nevertheless the five places to be fill
ed under the terms of the White
measure would hold out sufficient
monetary inducements to cause a
widespread scramble for the jobs. The
commission authorized by the legisla-
ton that is meeting with reasonable
success In the Senate would be an in
dependent body and would be com.
posed OF five Americans who would
receive yearly salaries of 10000 each.
Under the White bill, the commits
sionships would be, at least at the
outset. part-time Jobs. carrying sal
aries of $25 day and travelling eX-
penses for whatever periods of time
the commission would find it neees-
sary to sit in executive session in the
Capital. The commission would not be
an independent body. but would act
as a buffer between the Secretary OF
Commerce and the courts. The com
missioners, under this plan of control
would be representative of five sec
tions of the country.
On either Of the commissions no
appointment could be made of any
person who is associated financially
with any radio manufacturing or
broadcasting organization. In addi
ton to the commissionerships the sec
retaryships to either of the bodies are
to he at the disposal of the govern
ment, and these positions are also
ranked reasonably well as steady
paying jobs.
Although there is still some doubt
whether radio legislation will be
adopted at the present session of Con
gress, there has already been begun
some speculation as to the compost
ton Of whatever body will be eventu
ally decided upon. The name that
has received the most prominence IN
the event that the Dill bill is adopted
Is that of w. ID. Terrell, chief radio
supervisor Of the Department OF
Commerce almost since the birth OF
