GREET
FLER5

ROME. July il. - Proud
over the distinction Of being
at last the goal Of a success
full Transatlantic flight, this
city did its best today to fur
nish an enthusiastic welcome
to Roger @. Williams and
Capt. Lewis Yancey, of the
ocean-spanning plane Path
finder.
From an early hour Of the morn
ing dense throngs packed the street
in front of the Hotel Excelsior.
where the fliers spent the night
following their arrival from San
tander, Spain. waiting for the air
men to make their appearances.
Special squads of Fascist police
were assigned to keep the crowds
in order. and traffic in the street
was severely lan1pered by the con-
gestion.
No program has hesn mapped out
as vet by the fliers concerning their
plans while in Rome. but it II ex.
pected they will remain here several
days at least. Various aeronauti-
cal societies are anxious to pay
tribute to their daring feat, and
williams and Yancey win llndoubt-
edIy have q busy round OF enter
tainments during their stay here.
Plan No Return Hop
Both filters were emphatic today
In declaring they have no intention
Of attempting flight back across
the Atlantic.
'sWe have achieved our aim in
flying across from west to east, and
even though we did not reach Rome
in one hon, we are satisfied with
what we have DONE" Williams told
international News Service.
The flier said that after short
period of rest In Rome he and
Yancey would probably take off in
the Pathfinder for a European tour,
cruising ieisurely over points OF in.
terest for sightseeing purposes be-
fore returning to the United States.
Keep Duce Waiting
williams and Yancey did more
than blaze a new transatlantic trail
in connecting the City OF Seven
Hills with the Atlantic seaboard of
the United States by plane. They
achieved another record in being
the only Americans ever to keep
Premier Benito Mussolini waiting
for an hour and a half or anything
like that length OF time.
Accompanied by Under Secretary
for Air Balbo and other govern
ment officials. Mussolini arrived at
the Littorio air field early yesterday
evening when reports were received
that the Pathfinder would shortly
arrive from Santander. For 80
minutes II Duce waited patiently
had every waited for any individuals
land then returned to the Villa
Torlonia.
MussOIini Praises Them
However, in spite of this disap-
pointment, he was none less lavish
in his welcome when the airmen
were accorded an interview with
him Immediately after their arrival
at $50 p. m. $3.50 p. m, Wash
ington time).
Delirious with enthusiasm, the
throng which had waited for hours
at the field gave the airmen a vel.
come unprecedented in recent times.
Several persons were badly bruised
in the wild rush for the plane. and
Williams and Yancey were literally
dragged from the cockpit and
hoisted on the shoulders Of the
crowd.
The American airmen were taken

HIT
D. {. BLUE
LAW

Ranks of Washingtonians
who for years have fought en-
actment Of the Lankford Sum
day closing law still stand
solidly opposed to proposals to
enact blue laws for the Dis
trict as advocated yesterday
by Bishop James Cannon and
a group Of clergymen at the
White House.
Business, religious, civic, and
patriotic leaders today Joined the
phaIanx which has thus far re-
PEELED the movement for enactment
OF the blue laws, and II was an.
nounced that 2 solid front viii be
presented at the next seSeior Of
Congress when another determined
effort il to b made to obtain
n sAge of the measure.
Darr Speaks for Chamber
Among those who today registered
opposition to the Lankford meas
ure, for which the aid Of the Pres
ident was asked yesterday, are
leaders Of the washington Board Of
Trade, the conference Of Seventh
Day Adventists, the Merchants ana
Manufacturers Association. the
washington Chamber OF Commerce,
the American Legion, and the As
ISOLATION Opposed to Blue Laws.
Charles w. Darr, president OF
the Chamber Of Commerce, pointed
out that that organization has
formally opposed the Lankford
measure since its introduction
Darr and other chamber leaders
have appeared before congressional
committees In opposition to the
measure. There is no reason to
believe the chamber has changed
its stand, Darr said today, unless
the opposition to the measure has
become intensified.
Stephen for Relaxation
Mai. Gen. Anton Stephen, presi-
dent of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers Association, declared that
while he was not in a position to
discuss specific details Of the Lank-
ford measure. he favors the Eu-
ropean idea Of Sunday. BY. this he
said that he meant regular attend.
ance at church and q strict observ-
ance Of the Sunday during church
hours, with q relaxation afterWard.
The Board Of Trade Is still ready
to "go to the bat" against the
Sunday closing measure, its leaders
asserted today. When the Lank-
ford measure was introduced in
1926, the board registered vigorous
opposition to its enactment, and q
special committee headed by Joseph
A. Burkhardt carried this opposi-
ton before congressional commit
tees. The boards position is that
the bill would prohibit peaceful,
harmless amusementS, which are not
morally wrong, except in the opinion
OF those who assume q ''holier than
thou" attitude.
Harlan Wood, commander OF the
District department Of the American
Legion, declared that Bishop Can
non and his followers fare on the
wrong track" in seeking Sunday
legislation.
Sees Ministry Failing
''Such legislation only boils down
to the fact that the reforrners are
trying to make Congress do what
the ministry is falling to do" Wood
declared. 'sYou can't legislate evil
out of the world. If they lake
away ali the Sunday anusements
what are people going to do?"
DR.. G. s. Longacre, Of the Seventh
Day Adventists' conference, with
headquarters at Takoma Park, d. c.,
also went on record as opposing, in

market. Then, too the Washington
outlook is influenced much by the opin-
ion of representatives of money borrow
ing interests at home and abroad. The
prospect that rates are due to fall and
fall sharply with the finish of the stock
market boom gives real satisfaction not
alone to the borrowing officers of Gov
eminent establishments, Of which there
are several, but also to international
banking interests who have for months
been postponing fiotations because bonds
couldn't be sold.
BY the test Of customs records on the
staple article of copper, Germany, in
spite of the degree of industrial recov-
cry it has shown since the war, has not
come back to proportionate pre-war
performance, while France is doing
rather better in industrial matters than
she did prior to 1914. The last recorded
monthly figures show that Germany,
by far one of the best copper custom
ers of the United States among nations,
took 1885, 900 pounds of that metal,
while the United Kingdom took 1901
600 pounds. and France took $3.50, 900
pounds. All of these are stable figures.
but the relations as among the three
chief industrial nations shows consid-
cradle change.
In this connection, the last month
reported is hardly a final showing of
what a years performance will be.
Copper movement from the United
States to world consumption this year
has failed to be a regular or stabilized
affair and totals vary greatly from
month to month.
One Of the really unprecedented in
creases of American exports this year
has taken place in the humble COM
modify classification of scrap iron. All
of the big industrial countries have
been engaged in levying on American
junkyards.
There have been several contributing
causes to the unprecedented shipments
of iron and steel scrap to foreign coun-
tries from the United States" says
Commerce Department statement on
the point. TN some instances foreign
furnaces are being charged with as
much as so per cent scrap and only 40
per cent pig iron. Prices of this COM
modify have risen until it Is now prof.
table to ship the material great dis
tances from the United States to a
market.
japanese purchases of scrap have
been turned to the United States be-
cause of the unsettled conditions pre-
vailing in China. Then there has been
in Europe a completion of salvage from
the battlefields and a partial exhaustion
of the Spanish iron ore deposits"
