which the French ministry OF air
believes will make France COM
0lete master Of the air for 1881.
Two planes already are under
one of them destined
Tor Coste and the other probably
for Joseph Lie Brix.
France expects to carry the
worlds distance record, which Coste
won for her, 10 well beyond
10000 kilometers with these planes.
The ministry of air has ordered
these distance planes to be mono
motor instead of fitted with sew
eral motors. One motor consumes
much less fuel and the air ministry
has decided to sacrifice safety
factors for fuel
The planes are being BUILT in
secrecy. Each will cost 100000
francs. No other plane built up
to now can hope to link. Paris with
Toxic in one flight and that is what
France expects of these ships.
The ministry Of air does not be-
heve either of the great planes will
be ready for actual record d-attempt-
ing flight before midsummer Of
1881. But by August, one or the
other will be of from Paris for
nonstop flight, either to Brazil and

HIGHER Grain
PRICE CERTAIN,
SAYS M'KELvIE
Farm Board Member Thinks
Government Buying Has
Lifted Level.

Bu United Press
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Pre-
diction of general increase in
grain prices this winter" was made
today by Samuel r. McKelvie, fed
eral farm board wheat member.
He added that the current govern
ment wheat buying program has
raised world price levels.
Feeding of wheat to livestock,
McKelvie said, offers the most likely
solution to the present surplus.
which he estimated at $50, ,o00, 900
bushels.
He believes the surplus will be
cut to the normal carryover of 130,-
100000 bushels by spring.
Unless corn prices decline, and
McKelvie does not believe they will,
feeding of wheat to livestock will
continue on an extensive scale, he
predicted.
He said as much as 2O00O0,0OO
bushels may be fed to hogs. cattle
and poultry before the 1881 crop is
ready to. market.
McKelvie arrived at his figure Of
a 130000,000 carryover in this way:
The total of the 1880 crop plus
the carryover from 1929 was 1,115.-
100000 bushels of wheat.
Consumption by humans and by
livestock was estimated at 100000
coo bushels.
He said probably 10000 900 will
be exported and another 85,0oO,OOO
will be needed for seed next spring.
In this event, the grain stabiliza-
ton corporation, which now holds
more than 100000 bushels of
wheat, will be able to reduce it's
holdings somewhat, but probably
still will retain good share of this

Here is the third Of series OF articles
on the power issue.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-The
federal power commission has dele
gated to the courts another case
involving fundamentals Of the pow
er question.
The commissions action was on
an application Of the Appalachian
Electric Power Company for
authority to build an $11,0000O0
plant on the New river, Virginia.
Already slated for an early hear
ing IN the District Of Columbia
supreme court is the attempt of the
Clarion River Power Company of
Pennsylvania to prevent revision of
its investment figures by the pow
er commission.
In these two cases are involved
the vital issues of rates which con-
sumers must pay for their power
and regulatory rights Of the gov
ernment.
Study Controversial Cases
The New river project has been
a controversial matter for years.
IL hinges on the question of navi-
gability Of the river. the company
desiring a license which would free
it from provisions of the federal
water power act.
The commission considered the
matter Tuesday, and Secretary Of
Interior Wilbur, acting chairman of
the commission, said:
1T was concluded that in view Of
the Importance of the question of
jurisdiction as between the United
States and the state Of Virginia in
voIved in the case a court decision
is desirable"
Wilbur explained the court deci-
sion could be obtained through the
bringing Of an injunction after the
project had been started.
The Clarion river case, which will
be argued Dec. 8, presents the clear
cut issue of whether the investment
claimed by the company is inflated,
as the power commission alleges.
The company figures are $11,033,-
600, while the commission claims the
investment was less than half that
amount.
New Commission Soon
Since investment figures are used
for rate making purposes the con-
nection is apparent.
The two cases lead back to the
commission, to its purposes and to
the controversy recently within its
ranks.
The commission was set up to
pass upon applications for water
power projects in 1920 as a means
Of regulation.
The commission now consists of
the secretaries of war, interior and
agriculture.
The Couzens act passed at the
last session created permanent
commission of five members, which
will begin to function after Presi-
dent Hoover completes it by two
more selections and the whole group
is confirmed by the senate.

SKIDDING AUTO
CRUSHES MAN
Accident on Glazed Street
May Prove Fatal.

Although but few accidents were
reported following coating Of streets
and highways with ice Tuesday
night, injuries may prove fatal to
Walter Keller, a. of 1872 Madison
avenue. Robert Long hospital ply
sicians feared today.
When an auto driven by Harley
Boles, SO, Nineveh, skidded into a
ditch in front Of Keuer's home, the
latter went to help push it back
on the highway,
A second car, driven by Shelby
Lewis, 81, of 282 South Ritter ave-
nue., spun out of control on a CLASSY
stretch Of pavement, and crushed
Keller against Boles' car.
Keller suffered compound frac-
lures of both legs, crushed chest,
internal injuries, and probably his
skull was fractured.
