u. S. DISAPPROVES
ARMS TO RUSSIA
Policy Is Revealed in Soviet Nego.
tlations for Twenty Bomb.
ing Planes.

By the Associated Press.
Disapproval of export Of arms. NUM-
tions of war and airplanes for military
purposes to- the Soviet Union has be-
come a policy of the American Govern
ment.
While no governmental agency is en-
powered by law to restrict such exporta-
tlons, officials OF the State Department
said today the administration will fol-
low the policy of informing prospective
exporters that such shipments are re
garded with disfavor"
The decision came to light after the
Glenn L. Martin Co. of Baltimore
opened negotiations with the Soviet to
manufacture 20 bombing planes and
other aircraft and equipment at an ap-
proximate cost of $4,000 900.
The negotiations, however, were
brought to an end when the State De-
partment, after consulting other Gov
ernment departments, including the
Navy, indicated its disapproyal
The discussions looking toward the
drawing of a contract for the planes
began with the visit of Soviet ayia-
ton commission. They included such
considerations as the training of Rus
sian pilots and the establishment and
operation of a Russian plant by the
Martin company until such time as the
Soviet authorities could take 1t over.
State Department officials said today
they have for some time reviewed re-
quests for expectations of arms and
military equipment to the Soviet Union.
In the present instance disfavor was ex-
pressed 'in view of certain recent de-
velopments."
The import of these developments"
was not expanded upon by the depart
ment and officials declined to discuss
what they had in mind in Offering this
reason for their action.
The policy is not without precedent,
lengthy regulations now being in force
regarding the export of arms and mill
tary equipment to China
A similar policy of expressing dis
favor" is maintained by the State De-
partment regarding certain foreign
loans, international bankers regularly
inquiring Of the department If it has
any objections to the issuance in the
United States Of loans of foreign ma
tions.

TREASURY SURPLUS
WILL CHEER HOOVER
President Expects Comfortable
Balance at Close of First
Fiscal Year.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover looked forward to-
day to very comfortable Treasury
surplus at the close, two weeks hence, Of
his first full fiscal year as the Nations
Chief Executive.
Such an outcome was assured by
quarterly income tax collections and
cash payments made by foreign govern
ments in reduction of their funded in
debtedness to the United States.
Treasury officials declined to predict
the amount of the surplus, but there
were indications that it would exceed
$100, ,000, 900.
A total of $ll7.114,598.24 was received
in cash late yesterday from 13 govern
ments. Ordinarily such payments are
made in United States Government Sc
curities, automatically reducing the
public debt.
With approximately $500, ,000. 900
quarterly income tax payments received
yesterday the Nations total revenue
for the fiscal year will be more than
$4,000, 100000. A total of $3470, ,O0O. 900
had been received on June 13, but ex-
penditures to that time had been So
712,000,000, leaving q deficit of $242,-
100000.
The foreign payments will have the
same effect Of reducing the public debt
as though they had been made in Gov
ernment securities. 1t is an established
Treasury practice under Secretary Mel
Ion to apply the surplus at the close of
each fiscal year to this purpose.

drowned when thrown from the speed
boat.
Meanwhile, the entire resources of
the Coast Guard in this vicinity had
begun a systematic search of the west
section of Lake Erie, determined to
keep it up until the fate of the eight
men is determined.
william G. McGaw. chief boatswain
Of the Coast Guard, said he was un-
willing to accept the drowning theory
and was convinced the missing men
were victims of rum runners turned
pirates. Twelve boats. seven of them

tive on a lonely island or in Canada
by gangSterS, who will demand ransom
for their safe return.
Credence to this theory was lent be-
cause several members of the party
carried fairly large sums of money.
Franklin B. Jones. former election board
official here. wore two diamond pins
valued at $1,000.
More than 20 hours have elapsed
since the party last was seen alive Sat-
urday morning near West Sister Is
land, headed for Pelee Island, where
they were to attend an Elks' picnic.
One life preServer was found near
Middle Sister Island Monday night
The speedboat itself was found Sunday
floating right side up.
It was pointed out that every island
in the lake was visited by searchers
Monday. and that If the men were
marooned they would have been on the
lookout for approaching boats and would
have signaled their distress.
Lake men said that any boat which
might have picked up the men would
have reached port by last night.
The discarding of these two explana-
tions left drowning or kidnapping as the
only alternatives with relatives clinging
to the kidnapping theory.

NEW GOLF COURSE
SOUTH OF BASIN
Work Has Been Started on
New Project-Sixteenth st.
Greens to Open July !.

The miniature putting golf course at
Seventeenth and B streets has proved
so popular that work has Just been
started on another. more than twice the
size, south of the Tidal Basin, adjacent
to the Potomac group Of tennis courts.
In making this announcement today,
F. w. Hoover, general manager of the
Welfare and Recreational Associat tion
Of Public Buildings and Grounds, Inc,
said that the new course Is intended
primarily for day playing, although
estimates are being secured to initiate
night playing there later, If the cost
of lighting is found practicable
Mr.. Hoover said that innovations will
be embodied in the new course, as the
form board, used generally, will be abb
sent. so that the player will have to
be more accurate and cannot depend
on the form board to stop wild shots.
Part Of most of the holes will be sur
faced with one material, while another
surface around the hole itself will be
of different material. to make the
course more like full-sized one. The
charge will be the same as at the
Seventeenth and 3 streets course.
The golf course at Sixteenth street
and Colorado avenue, Mr.. Hoover as
serted, is rapidly nearing completion
and will be open for play on July l.
although, owing to the poor growing
weather this Spring, the greens will not
be in the desired shape. This course
will have 18 holes of pitch and putt
and holes of putting only. The as
sociation has under consideration the
putting in of a practice driving field.
IF this can be done. we will have
every stroke that goes into the round
of golf" Mr.. Hoover said.
Immediately adjoining Sixteenth
street will be the putting course alone
and to the west will be the combination
of pitch and putt. while still farther
back, II feasible, will be the driving field.
