NEW YORK, February 14-Aircraft
raids used to get people "all steamed
up" between 1914 and 1918, and they
still do, although the raids are for
different purpose. Raids today are
on working forces.
There are today approximately 80
corporations making airplanes in the
United States. There are not enough
skilled men in the industry to fill the
places open for aeronautical en-
gineers, test pilots, commercial pilots,
instructors, expert mechanics and air
crafts men. In consequence raids are
being conducted on working forces of
competitors by hard pressed manufac-
turers. Enlisted men OF the Army
and Navy who have gained expert
ence at flying fields and pilots from
are being listed and card-1n-
dexed to show when they may be
planes worth $3O,OO0,000 were pro-
duced, and this was far below de-
mand. There are 1887 airports ready
for use and hundreds projected. Air
mail routes covered 18,459 miles in
1928 and 23,175,412 airplane miles
were flown. In 1929 at least 10000
machines will be built and already
mail and passenger route mileage has
increased tremendously.
The lack of adequate forces Is in
clining financiers and executives toward
proposals for consultations and
mergers, but even these are not likely
to relieve the scarcity of trained men.
This scarcity exists not only IN the
actual airplane construction and de-
4 ~, In
and in radio.
The future development of air travel
is virtually dependent on the use OF
radio. according to DR.. j. H. Dellinger,
chief of the radio section or the
Bureau of Standards. When the radio
beacon system is fully established on
the American airways, they say the last
obstacle to safe flying will have been
but in the meantime more
radio engineers can find a place for
their services.
The show just closed has demon
strated that, despite the growth of COM
mercial and sport aviation, the Govern
ment still is the most dependable
customer for airplane manufacturers.
The Federal program for this fiscal year
involves S62,924,212. 1t is in response
to the indication that the Government
will continue heavy that the
Berliner Joyce Aircraft Corporation has
determined to move from Alexandria,
Va, to Baltimore and enlarge its plant
to enable it to accept military ex-
detrimental contracts. At the new plant,
which will be occupied about April Is,
experiments will be conducted on all
metal propellers for the Federal Air
Services, on metal pontoons for the

WHEAT VALUES DROP

Prospects of Warmer Weather in

tablished new high price record 1or
the season. Opening at "a OIL TO "a up,
Chicago wheat later underwent GER
eral downturn. Corn also was easier,
starting at IA to 81 decline and SubSe-
uuently holding near to the initial fig
ures. Oats were relatively steady. Pro-
visions tended to advance.
Downturns in Chicago wheat prices
today were influenced a good deal not
only by the fact that a let-up IN the
European cold wave was forecast, out
also by unexpected setbacks in Liver
pool wheat quotations. Reports also
were circulated that crops in European
countries were protected by snow ex-
cept in parts of France and Belgium
which have suffered damage. Accord
ing to some estimates to 10 per cent
of the Winter wheat acreage in France

Good sized shipments of wheat from
Argentina, 6,798.000 bushels for the
week as against $4,000 bushels year
ago, were mentioned as partly respon--
sible for lower quotations today az
Liverpool. On the other hand, the Lead
ing British trade authority announced
that estimates on world import require
ments of wheat had been raised &c, 0OO.-
600 bushels to 880,000.000 bushels. This
amount, however, was still 4O.OOO,OOU
bushels below a recent German uno1-

considered ample with great deal of
business done on 10 and IS per cent
margins. This made it easy to speculate
and also to "pyramid" of the dam
gerous features of all bull movements.
Then there is another tax now being
put into effect which hits hard at the
small trader, or the man who is limited
by his financial capacity or his nerve to
dealings in 10 to IS share lots. For years
the regular commission on the small odd
lots has been So. Now it has been raised
in some cases to SIS.
Under the new arrangement OF SIS
commission both ways the small trader
will have to make over a point, incllfd-
ing the transfer tax, in order to come
out even.
There is a further penalty which all
of them pay in the form of monthly in
terest rates which have been ranging
from to 10 per cent and which eat up
profits at surprisingly rapid rate.
All of this reform has developed
largely within the Stock Exchange and
indirectly assists the Federal Reserve in
checking speculation.

NEW YORK. March 2.-(Pl--The

over heavy profit-taking today and
gave up part of the weeks sharp
advance. The markets technical
position had been weakened by
the persistent driving of shorts to
cover, and the normal weekend
profit-taking, swelled by overnight
news developments bearing on
credit, quickly sent the market into
a sinking spell.

press, which had gained more than
IS points in the past two sessions,

400 shares in the two hour session.

for so industrials sagged less than
a point from yesterdays new high.
The increase in the Dallas re-
discount rate, announced last
night, vas regarded as logical, as
its reserve ratio had fallen to So
per cent, the lowest of the system,
and this is the season of expanding
agricultural demands in the South
west. Bankers were inclined to the
opinion, however, that the New
