SCIENCE IS AIM
| OF SOVIET FLYERS
u. S. Ascertains Aims of
Flight Before Permitting
Airmen to Enter Country.
BY WILLIAM RUFUS SCOTT.

Permission was given to the Russian
flyers to enter American territory on
their MoScow-NeW York flight after
Washington satisfied itself that the trip
had the scientific objective of advanc-
ing aviation through. record-making
crossing of the Pacific Ocean from west
to east by heavier-than-air machine.
The Coast Guard, Navy and Army
are cooperating with the Russians in
the same spirit and as a tribute to
heroic flying, regardless Of the country
from which the Night began. Aviation
fraternalism has been noteworthy for
rising above boundaries and interna-
tional political issues, such as the nom
recognition of Soviet Russia by the
United States.
May Visit Washington.
Advices received by the Navy Depart
ment that the Russian flyers may visit
Washington are in line with the custom
OF those who achieve fame In the skies.
In the usual course Of similar visits the
foreign flyers would be welcomed by
officers Of the American flying services
and be received by the President as a
tribute to a notable contribution to
aviation history. Whether any differ
ence Is to be made in the reception that
will be given to the Soviet flyers If they

closed.
The people of Russia are getting a
thrill out of this flight equal to the
thrill the German people derived from
the flights of the Graf Zeppelin, and it
Is a special source of pride in Russia
that the plane, Land Of the Soviets. was
built entirely in Russia. Much of the
advance of aviation in Russia has been
made possible by popular subscriptions
supplementing governmental efforts.
The first start of the 12000-mile
flight in August ended in forced land
ing in Siberia. Returning to Moscow,
the Russian flyers started again, and
successfully completed the Pacific cross
ing when they landed on the mainland
of Alaska at Seward. Two other land
ings had been made on American soil
on islands of the Aleutian group.
No OfficiaI Russia.
The name Of the plane emphasizes
the fact that there is no longer a coun-
try officially known as Russia. The
correct title of the country now Is
Union of Socialist Soviet Republics"

RealDyes
are easier
to use

NIAMOND DYES are used by
- practically the same method as
any other dye. They go on easier,
though-more smoothly and evenly;
without spotting or streaking. That's
because they are made from real
anilines, without trace Of filters to
injure fabrics or give things that
redyed look.
Diamond Dyes contain the highest
quality dnilines that money can buy.
That's why they give such clear,
bright, new-looking colors, which
keep their depth and brilliance so
remarkably through wear and
washings.
Next time you have dyeing to do,
try Diamond Dyes-at our risk. See
that they are easier to use. Then

Unspeakable Hardships Alleged by
Nationals Driven From Man.
Churia by Chinese.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, u. 8. 8. r., October 81
The Official news agency, in dispatch
from Khabarovsk, Siberia, relates stories
Of tortures and hardships Of Russian
nationals in Manchuria told by refugees
arriving at Khabarovsk.
Chinese were said to have inflicted
unspeakable tortures in examining sus-
pected Russians and to have crowded
them into detention camps under in
sanitary conditions and with inadequate
food. Fifteen bodies were said to have
been found near Hardin and six others
discovered in the Sungari River, with
identification made difficult because of
decapitation. Other Soviet citizens

by China and the Soviet Union Of mis-.

CHICAGO FUTURES

ter starting 70 to 1c lower today
with general selling on easy ca
bles and weakness in the stock
market, wheat rallied u to 1ac
above the previous close. An
nouncement that railroads had
removed embargoeS on shipment
Of wheat to Galveston and other
gulf ports, figured in the rally.
Following a weak start this NOR
ming wheat turned strong and the
market rallied to above the pre-
vious close on strong commission
house buying because Of the an
nouncement that railroads had re-
moved eInbargoeS on shipment Of
wheat to Galveston and other gulf
ports. This relief is taken as indi-
eating that more wheat is going
out Of the country than is sug-
gested by the daily reports Of ex-
port business.
Provisions ruled lower early.

Low iron and steel inventories
Of large consuming industries are
favorable features Of the situa
ton, the report says. Inventory
problem Is due more largely 10
an accumulation Of finished prod

terials.
Thus far few evidences of re.
duced popular. demand for con.
sumption goods have appeared
except in the automobile indus
try, which was suffering from
overproduction before the stock
market collapse. But the period
Of readjuStment, If present ir1di-
cations are borne out, has been
prolonged by the Wall Street
crash. Automobile makers gen.
orally are revising production
schedules downward. ~<
Consumer demand for goods
outside Of the luxury Of semi
luxury class is expected to hold
its own unless serious unemploy-
nent should develop. Farm i'm
plement manufacturers have not
altered their production programs,
which remain at high rate.
The output Of stove manufac.

is one-third greater than year
ago. Operations Of . leading
radiator manufacturer are the
highest since February.

Demand for rolling stock was
active even before the stock

speed up action on pending In
quirieS and to bring out new
equipment programs. Freight
cars now in the market number
1000, including 1880 on which

The Missouri Pacific has bought
81, 900 tons Of rails and the South

for $4,000 tons.
Pig iron production in October
totaled 3.5S8,118 tons, the largest

At 1878 tons, the daily rate
