 Los Angeles. April 23-(UP)- Honor and wealth await the winner of an airplane race around the world which will start from here probably a week from tomorrow
 Four noted aviators, who are su- pervising last minute preparations for the circumnavigation of the globe with ten day record as the objective, announced to-day they ex- pected to get away about May 1.
 The competitors are John Henry Mears. who has twice broken the Breese; Wiley Post, veteran speed pilot. and Harold Gatty. who att tempted trans Pacific flight with Lieutenant Harold Bromley.
 Posts reward will be $20.000 if he completes the -the-world flight. F. C. Hall, Oklahoma City oil magnate. owner of the plane has promised that amount.
 Mears said he did not plan to make a nonstop trans Pacific flight for the $25,000 offered by a Jap anese newspaper for such feat. He will make the flight simply to regain the record. but his pilot. Breese, probably will share in the commer- cial contracts that usually follow such fights
 Post and Gatty will fly together as will Mears and Breese.
 Mears and Breese have been here for some weeks watching the con- struction of the Vega plane at the Lockheed Aircraft corporation fac- tory. Post will have larger fuel tanks installed in his monoplane Winnie Mac at the Lockheed plant.
 Both planes are expected to be ready for the around-the- world flight at about the same time so that the race will not only be against time but also plane against plane.
 The planes will be able to de- veiop speed of 200 miles an hour and cruise at 170 miles under power from 450-horsepower engines. Embodied in this sky marathon are the thrills of trans- Pacific hops. quick landings, refuellings and take offs and above all the thrill of two planes blazing new sky trails at rec- ord-breaking speeds.
 One of the longest ocean hops planned by Post is nonstop flight of 2,840 miles from Harbor Grace. Newfoundland, to Berlin, Germany. Mears has not yet announced his plans regarding this hop. It Is pos sibie that he may make a shorter flight for the sake of safety over speed.
 In both cases the flyers will have

CHURCH CANON TO
 ! GIVE DIVORCEES
 CHANGE TO REVIVED
Harvard Prof. Proposes it to Episcopalians - Re. marry Without Hedging Eternal Love

Boston, April 23-(UP)--A new canon which would permit divorced members of tho Episcopal church to remarry. but without piedging eternal love, has been proposed by Professor Joseph H. Beaie of Harv- ard law schoo..
 Professor Beale's proposal was made at a dinner of the Episcopa- Han club of Massa achusetts last night after adjournment of the business session of the annual convention of the Episcopal diocese of Massachu- sctts.
 The speaker contended divorce is Q matter for the civil courts and that the church's only concern should be remarriage. His proposal would authorize remarriage under permission of bishops and ecclesias- individual cases and would not be subject to jules listing divorce causes which would be acceptable as permitting remarriage.
 Very few church people get divorces." Professor Beale said. '.and. # the proposed canon goes through. no one within the church can marry without knowing what the ceremony means.
 Referring to vows of eternal love he said there was 'something in. congruous about repeating the same vows in | second marriage and suggested compromiDe wherein the vows would be omitted in remar- riage.
 Bishop William Lawrence, re. tired. told the delegates that the way to end prohibition troubles Is to ''stop talking and stop drinking"
 ''If I don't drink. and you don't. and other citizens don't, there will be no bootlegging and no liquor," ke said.

EXPORT CREDIT

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10. R-
Three Of the men who sought means
to arrest the decline In cotton prices
following the huge drop In 1928,
again are trying to raise the depress-

One is Pres. Hoover, secretary 81
commerce five years ago. Another
Is Eugene Meyer, governor OF the
federal reserve board. The third Is
William @. Clayton, head OF one Of
the largest private cotton firms n
the world.
Prices Low.
Their efforts have been directed
toward arranging some form OF Gre
dit for the export OF cotton, now at
one OF the lowest prices In its his
tory.
No decision has been decided upon
or methods Of relief. However the
president plans to continue his con-
ference with bankers and the cotton
men in the hope that some solution
may be found soon.
The 1f-5 crop. Of approximately
100000 bales, was the largest on
record. A near panic prevailed as It
started to market.
Cotton mills. anticipating lower
prices. bought charity and cotton
trade channels seemed clogced.
In earr October the average price
IN southern spot market was 1926
cents a pound. which was below pro-
duction cost but double the 1891
price.
Investment Urged.
Mr.. Hoover and Meyer. who I'd

establishments for financing cotton
exports while chairman Of the war
finance corporation, suggested a
meeting Of bankers and cotton men
which was held IN New Orleans 10

1t vas agreed 70 recommend that
growers discontinue the sale Of cot
ton at prevailing pric and to urge
mills TO buy cotton as an investment
Shortly afterward Meyer set up a
number Of cotton finance corpora
tons in tn. south. Ample cotton was
provided and arrangements were
made but cotton storage places were
insufficient.
