 DISTRIBUTION PLAN
Chairman Of Hoover Commission
 Tells Of Progress

Boston, Oct. 3l GP)-plans of President Hovcr's committee. ap- pointed to study distribution prob lens, were presented by Chairman Frederick NJ. Feiker to the annual convention Of the national associa- ton Of cotton manufacturers here today.
 "A profitable business appears to- day to be one in which the manage ment has secured some control over supply and demand through ad- vance knowledge" he said. Those industries which are apparently best in balance are those in which production and sales have been matched.
 "The coming census of distribu- tion which is 10 he taken by the government will have it's primary value in setting up a basis of facts which will aid in the control Of de- mand. Thus, the board object of the coming census of distribution is first, to provide statistical picture or account of the number of dis tributors classified as to class, as to size, as to number of employees and as to volume Of business"
 Ephraim Freedman of R. H, Macy & Co. Of New York told the conven- tion that many manufacturers ''are debasing their products 10 sell at a price and many retailers arc buying on a price basis content with the knowledge that they are purchasing as cheaply as their competitors. He said the fallacy Of this attitude was becoming sclf-evidcnt through q falling off in sales and loss in profits,

.M0SLEM LEADER ' ID MARRY DEC. 4
"Tea Room" Romance Of Aga
 Khan and Girl Progresses

Paris, Oct. 51 (UP)--The "tea rroom" romance of the Aga Khan, spiritual leader Of the Moslem world. and Marcelle Carron. hotel proprietor's daughter will be con- summated in a marriage ceremony at Aix-les- Bains on December 1.
 The romance which began in q tea room at AiX-les- Bains has been alternately denied and confirmed and. since its definite confirmation. has been beset with many religious difficulties.
 It was learned, however, that only . civil ceremony would be perform ed. that by Mayor Henry Clearc in the town hall. Any religious cere- mony will be omitted because of Madem oiselle Carron's insistencc on retention of the Catholic religion and the Aga khans refusal of the cere- mony of the Catholic church which he could not approve as chief of the Moslem church in India.
 Despite the fact that French law demands publication of the marriage announcement for stated period before the ceremony, the marriage bans of the Aga Khan and his fiancce have not yet been published.
 Since Mademoiselle Carron refus- cs to change her faith, there seemed little likelihood that she would be granted a Hindu title upon her mar riage as was Nancy Miller. the American girl who embraced the Moslem faith when she married the former Maharajah of Indore.
 The Aga Khan at present is in London while his bride to be is at Antibes.

AMERICANS BEGIN
 HOMEWARD RUSH
Stranded Travellers in France
 Leave Baggage in Hotels

Paris, Oct. 31 UP)-Stranded Americans who were hard hit in the Wall street crash sWampcd the shipping lines today with demands for passage to the United States. Eager to return home and save what they could from the wreck, many of them sold their personal belongings in order to secure money for passage on any vessel that would carry them.
 Hotel managers throughout the city arc worrying over the possi- blity of unpaid bills. Scores Of American guests have cleared out, leaving their trunks as security. The manager of the Hotel George V, describing the distress of some of his American clients, said:
 T have q number of clients who arc broke, but I am letting them return to the United States without paying, because I know they will reCoup."
 It was generally believed that the crash would have a most un'aVor- able effect on tourist trade in France throughout the winter and summer. \ great exodus Of Amer jeans was reported to have taken place from the Riviera, though the season there has just begun,
 The effect of the financial slump is apparent in the economics which many Americans now practice. They smoke less expensive cigars they move into cheaper hotels and they explore the Latin quarter for restaurants where they can get their meals at 10 and 12 francs wine includes.
 The brokerage houses and hotels are carrying New York quotations and the Hobbies are crowded with American and French investors who watch the fall and rlse ot prices for hours on end without even pausing to take nourishmcnt.

London, Oct. 31 P}-Official an- nouncement was made yesterday that the government has decided a Royal Air force team will not again be entered in the Schneider cup trophy contests
 British participation in the fla nous event thus will be left to pri- vate enterprise under the auspices of the Royal Aero club. The Brit ish team won the last Schneider cup race early in September.
 An air ministry statement ex- plained that government participa- ton in recent years had given the race a character not in accordance with the intentions of Jacques Schneider, donor of the trophy.
 Although the entry of a. team from the Royal Air force had given a much-nceded impetus to the devel- opment of high speed aircraft, Sufficient data had now been col lected for practical development in 5t this direction, and the large ex- penditure of public money involved by government participation in the race was therefore no longer justi- { liable"
