S. AIR CHIEF
WILL NOT BAN
OCEAN RACES
MacCracken FroWns on
Competitions and Prom
ises Strict Regulation.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press STAFF Correspondent
(Copyriqht. 1927. United Press


WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-As-
sistant Secretary of Commerce Will
liam p. MacCracken Jr., the Govern
ments supervisor of commercial
aviation, personally opposes, in
general principle, prize flights across
the ocean.
But if another fight to Hawaii,
similar to the Dole Derby" were or
ganized tomorrow, he would not try
to stop it. He would merely regulate
it.
He would be more cautious in the
inspection of aircraft attempting it.
Wouldn't Ban Flight =
He would not prohibit reason
able and practicable" prize flight.
And he considers the Hawaiian hop
a reasonable and practicable" VEN
ture because it has been accom-
plished successfully four times.
Thus MacCracken summed up
today, in. an exclusive United Press
interview, his views Of the con-
troversy that has arisen since the
seve nDole aviators dropped beyond
knowledge of the world.
MacCracken does not intend to
ask Congress to enact law to
prohibit such flights, as some have
advocated.
He has no power to stop trans
oceanic flights under the present
law, which does not require licens-
ing of planes in foreign" commerce.
The Hawaiian fight, however, was
to an American insular possession,
and, therefore, the planes entering
it were inspected according to law.
MacCracken advocated licensing
Of planes in foreign as well as do
nestle commerce, but Congress did
not follow this suggestion. If the
law is so amended, planes making
ans-oceanic flights would have to
be licensed. 1t happened that all
planes making the recent European
fights were licensed.
Hurts Commercial Flying
The air commerce head made
these further observations:
/. Pioneering in aviation should
be left to the Army, Navy or we'll
financed private ventures in which
plenty of time is allowed for care
full preparations, as in the trans-At-
lsntic flights.
Q. Aviation pioneering necessarily
brings more casualties than COM
mercial flying.
3. Pioneer failures should not be
"chalked up" against commercial
aviation.

MARKET JOLTED BUT NOT INJURED
Wall Street Quickly RecoYers
 From Shock

New York. Aug. 8 P>-An ava lanche of selling orders, inspired by President Coolidge's unexpected an- nouncement that he did not choose to be candidate in 1928, gave the stock market a terrific jolt at the opening today when prices crashed to nearly 16 points, but subse- quent recovery wiped out many of the early losses. and sent about a Trading was on an enormous scale. with indications that the days sales would run close to 3,000.000 shares.
 Wall Street undoubtedly was stun ned by the presidents decision. It caught the market in a vulnerable position. with railroad and industrial stock averages at a new peak after 20 consecutive days of rising prices, and with brokers loans around the highest level on record. There were varying opinions as to its ultimate market effect, but a rather unani- nous agreement that 1t had inject ed politics into the market months earlier than had been expected. From a stock market standpoint, presidential years have been tra
 ditionally conservative because of political uncertainties although the current 'bull' movement, familiarly referred to as the Coolidge market" began in the summer of 1924 when the presidents election was a fore gone conclusion in Wall street.
