ALTITUDE RECORD
ATTEMPT IS MADE
Believe Lieut.. AppoIo Soucek
Failed to Set New
High Mark.

Lieut. Soucek landed at 2:15
o'clock after he had exhausted his
tanks of gasoline. His altimeter
showed between 38 500 and $4,000
feet and it was believed that test
of the instrument would show that
he had failed to break the record.
An attempt to break the world alti-
tude record for seaplanes was being
made at the Naval Air Station this
afternoon by Lieut.. Apollo Soucek, who
established a new world record for all
types of flying last month.
Soucek took off at 1927 this after
noon in the Wright Apache plane In
which he established the new world
record less than a month ago. The
wheels with which the plane was
equipped on the last record flight had
been replaced by a light pontoon and
wing floats had been added. Otherwise
the plane is the same as when he set
the record.
Soucek must climb to an altitude OF
38,323 feet in order to establish a new
seaplane record. The present record
81, 1895 feet, was established two years
ago with the same plane by Lieut.. G. C.
Champion, flying from the Naval All
Station. The regulation governing Off
cial world records requires that the
pilot, in order to establish a new official
altitude record, must exceed the old
record by at least 100 meters, or APP
proximately 1913 feet.
Soucek, as on his previous flight, wore
only a leather fur-lined flying suit, he'll
met and boots.

HALF BILLION FARM
FUND Is FAVORED
Congress Leaders Indicate Appro-
priation Will Be Sought When
Relief Bill Passes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Congressional leaders indicated today
that after enactment of the pending
farm bill they would favor a recon-
mendation by the Agriculture Depart
ment to make available Immediately the
$500, ooO.o 900 appropriation proposed by
the measure for sterilization OF the
agriculture industry.
The farm bill, which is expected to
be enacted into law within week or
to days, merely authorizes half-bn-
n-dollar appropriation.
It had been thought at first that the
department would suggest an immediate
appropriation of only one or two hum
dred million dollars, but some leaders
now favor the full amount.
These leaders take the view that the
wheat situation demands immediate at
tention and that If the Farm Board is
to buy up the surplus wheat crop. about
SITS, 0o0, 600 would be needed alone for
this.
They hold the board ought to have
the full amount, so as to be able to
take full advantage of its powers under
the bill to deal with the wheat situa-
ton and that needing attention in
other crops.

heavily increased flow of lava from the
crater.
Motion lava was pouring from the
eruptive con in stream 100 feet wide
at the rate of 10 feet second. observ-
ers reported late in the afternoon.
The vesuvian Observatory watched
the progress of the eruption with the
closest attention and was ready to mo-
Billie all available forces to evacuate
other towns in case the situation be-
came graver.
Evacuation Orderly.
The evacuation Of Barre was carried
out in perfect order. The scene was
extremely picturesque as the inhabitants
OF the threatened town carried off all
their belongings that they could load
into carts. Vehicles of all kinds were
pressed into service, mostly the bril-
liant two-wheeled carts for which
Southern Italy Is famous.
The soldiers were turned into NOV
ing-men and aided the inhabitants.
Volunteers from other towns also came
to the rescue.

Make Inquiry Into Securi-
ties Sales.

The Senate this afternoon passed the
resolution authorizing the District COM
mittee to investigate real estate f1nanc-
ing operations and methods of selling
other kinds of securities in Washington.
The inquiry was proposed several
weeks ago by Senator Brookhart, Re
publican, of Iowa, but his original reso-
luton was modified by the District
committee before 1t was reported to the
Senate.
No Particular Firm Named.
As reported by the committee and
agreed to in the Senate this afternoon
the resolution contains no reference to
any particular concerns, but sets forth
in a general way the questions to be
investigated.
It is probable that the subcommittee

committee, of which Senator Blaine,
Republican, Of Wisconsin, Is chairman,
will conduct the inquiry and report its
conclusions to Chairman Capper of the
entire committee.
1t already has ben indicated that

mittee to spend not to exceed $4,000 In
conducting the investigation and TO re-

clares that whereas 1t is alleged thai

The district attorney in recent
conference with Justice officials at
Washington complained because of ap-

to the Federal jury venire.
One account of conversation be-

Anderson learned of the charges and
called Phillips to his Office, describes
stormy scene between the two in the
judges chambers.
Phillips declined to discuss the mat
