PARKER CRAMER MADE NEW RECORD
 IN AVIATION
Establishing Mail Route Over PeriIOus North At= lantic to Iceland Terri= tory

Reyk1avik, Iceland, Aug IT, (UP)-Parker Cramer, American flyer on daring surprise flight over the perilous north Atlantic from America, landed here at 3:55 a. m., local time U1:35 D. m
 Thursday EST) to-day from Green land.
 Cramer Is surveying commer- | cial flying route from the United States to northern Europe, to in. clude several stops and be made | comparatively safe by precautions he Is expected to outline.
 Cramer left Angmagsalik, Green land late yesterday for Iceland, ad.
 vices received here said. He had
 to fly over 500 miles of little
 travelled north Atlantic water.
 where storms and fogs frequent ly have halted aviators.
 The aerial survey for q commer- cial air service was received with enthusiasm among Danish flyers reports from Copenhagen said. It was hoped that Cramer's pioneer ing work would forge a new link in communications across the At lantic.
 The route from Angmagsalik to Copenhagen via Iceland and Nor way Is not considered particularly hazardous, except In foggy wealth CT. It involves flights of some 500 miles from Angmagsalik here, thence over water on another 500- mile cruise to the Farce Islands. and then a leg of about 400 miles to Norway with the Shetland

SOME SOFT COAL
 MACNATES DENY
 CONTROL RUMOR
Report Said That Mine Owners Asked for Fed- eral Control in Order to Save Soft Coal Industry

Washington, Aug. 7.-UP) - Federal control of the soft coal in- dustry as q public utility by request of that industry, marking radical change in "big business" policy, has been reported suggested by coal op- orators of the Pittsburgh district in with Secretary of La bor Doak and Secretary of Com merce Lamont.
 The reports were denied in Pitts burgh and in some quarters here.
 The federal control was suggest ed, 1t was reported. as a means of limiting production in the coal fields, to prevent a complete break down of the industry.
 The complete breakdown, 1t was said. would result in throwing hum dreds of thousands of additional miners out of work.
 And the alternative to the fed eral control reported suggested was purchase by the government of many mines, the government clos ing them, thus conserving the na- tion's natural resources, and mak- ing profitable the output of the Pittsburgh district mines.
 The proposal was reported made by J. D. A. Morrow, president of the Pittsburgh Coal company. He was said to have conferred first with others: and Samuel Pursglove, Cleveland, and J. H. Jenkins, Fair mont, W. Va, were reported to have agreed to any move that might result in rehabilitation of the industry.
 Government control, fought for decades by big business interests, thus would be sought by big busi- ness as a means of Its survival. should reports of the proposal sub sequently prove to be true.
 Reports of conference in Pitts burgh yesterday at which such q proposal was to have been discussed further were denied In Pittsburgh.
 Secretary Doak denied any such proposal had been made In con- ferences with himself and Secretary Lamont here. but said 1t might have been discussed informally.

Pauline LaCature thrilled a large crowd of spectators at the Mill street playground yesterday after noon with her clever impersona- ton of Joe Palooka, the heavy weight champion of the world, who appears daily on the sport pages of the Democrat.

Army of international Working
Class.
The immediate political situation
is recognized as the period Of pre-

Union. World capitalism is fever
ishly preparing for an attack on
the revolutionary stronghold of the
world proletariat, the U.S-S.R. The
imperialists avail themselves of any
means to plunge the Soviet Union
into warlike adventure.
But we are vigilant. We do not
want war, but we are, nevertheless,
ready to defend our revolutionary
achievements. Therefore, we shall
strengthen our workers state and
arm the whole country. We must
be armed against a world of cap
italist states that encircled us in
order to invade our country.
