TWO-Sided

While special issues We're moving
higher and higher, there was another
side to consider in the running.
Almost as many issues showed de-
clines, indicating that the market
was still a two-sided affair, with
possibilities for making money on
the bull or bear angle. Oils shot
downward following further reduc-
lions in crude oil and gasoline. Sugar
shares moved up. with the eXcep-
ton of Great Western. which re-
ported earnings only about half Of
last year. Tobaccos, rails, thrash
ing machine shares and numerous
specialties advanced. Motors in
the low-priced division eased off late
in the week.
Just now the public is reticent
about making purchases Of cars,
since so much has been said about
a price cutting war among low
priced car PRODUCERS, Ford and Du-
rant movements are being care
fully watched and in the meantime
automobile buying is tagging. Cen
eral Mtors sales. however, are still
at a high rate. so that the company
officials are predicting the best

expressed by J. Edward Cassidy, gen.
eral director of the United States Air
Force Association. mainly on the
ground that it would take five to ten
wears to establish an airport there.
In addition, he pointed out that the
Renning tract could be made a first
class airport within six months. At
Gravelly Point, he pointed out, it
would be necessary for passengers to
cross the busy railroad tracks and
traffic would have to pass through a
bottle neck" created by Highway
Bridge.
1t would also be a mistake to tie up
the District of Columbia, he said. to
any such restricted field a S the Hoover
Field. Even If the Department of
Agriculture should turn over a strip
of it's experimental farm, 900 feet by
500 feet, the field could only be used
by light planes, he added. Develop.
ment of aviation in the next four
years, Mr.. Cassidy said, would make
Hoover Field little more than Joke.
Declaring Benning tract could be de-
veloped within 6 months as complete

that a ,500.foot runway could he pro-

THREE SENATORS
IN CHINA FOR STUDY
Wheeler, Golf and Bingham
Investigate Conditions Due
to Civil War.


SHANGHAI, June 22.-Three mem
bers Of the United States Senate are
now in China studying conditions
caused by the civil war between the
North and South.
Senator Burton X. Wheeler Of Mon
tana has arrived here from the Phil.
ippines and is planning to go to Nam
king, headquarters OF the moderate
Nationalist regime, to confer with
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek, the moderate
leader. Later he plans to visit Pc
king, capital of North China.
Senator Guy ID. Golf OF West Vir-
gina has arrived here from Picking
en- route to the Philippines. He also
is planning a trip to Marking to see
Chang Kai-Shek.
Senator Hiram Bingham OF Con-
necticut, who has made an extended
tour of China in the past weeks, is
proceeding up the YangtZe River
from Hankow to Ichang aboard a
United States destroyer. While in
Hankow the Senator held long dis
cussion with Eugene Chen, foreign
minister for the radical Nationalist
regime, which has it's headquarters in
that city.
Senator Wheeler said that Presi-
dent Coolidge's policy of non-interven-
ton in the Chinese civil war was
supported by American opinion, and
that the use of American forces for
purposes of intervention undoubtedly
would cause a Nation wide protest in
the United States.
