TRASH JOURNALS
ARE DENOUNCED
BY EDUCATORS

LOS ANGELES, July 1. UP
Branding a certain type of publica-
ton as vicious. communicating and
pernicious in their influence" DIR.
Edwin c. Broome, superintendent of
Philadelphia schools, today told del
egates to the National Educational
association convention that con-
trolling of circulation of such lit
erature among young people was
as much the responsibility of po-
lice as the drug traffic.
Motion pictures, radio programs
and dancing were praised by DR..
Broome as the three most instruc-
tive and healthful mental physical
recreations for children.
Mrs. Hugh Bradford. Sacrament
to, president of the National Con-
gress of Parents and Teachers, in
addressing another group of dele
gates said that "the future of edu-
cation depends upon the impression
it makes here and now on the
minds of children; and this impress
sion depends upon the unified CO.
operation of home and school, with
upon parent education
Indifferent parents and cheap,
vulgar community standards were
but a handicap to the maximum
success a school can reach, she
said.
American assistance for Mexico in
the development of a Mexican ed
ucational system was urged in a
speech by Frank Bohn, U. S. c.,
professor.
Rusha Wesley. principal of the
Lee Street school in Atlanta, Ga,
dealt with the preparation of prin-
cipals for school work. She said

CONDITIONS TOLD BY WRITER

and South America. Europe and
throughout the world The driving
force behind the determination to
collect enough cash from other ma
tions. through sale of goods, to pay
the debts due those same nations.
The Wilhelmstrasse, well remem-
bered from the war days. is guiding
this peace time big push" for
trade. At the same time, it has
succeeded in Transforming the vast
influx of merchandise entering Ger =
many into a mere rivulet. That
was illustrated during May, whert
Germany imported goods valued at
$1l 100000 from the United States,
while exporting good of equal value
to the United States. But twb
years ago, Germany used to export
100000 worth of products to the
United States monthly and import
from the United States to the value
Of S30,000,00o to s35 100000.
That shows how Germany is de-
clining as a market for other coun-
tries while at the same time put
ting the pressure behind its own
sales to create a favorable, trade
balance. Thus Germany isspaying
the rerarations and service @srges
on the Dawes and Young plan bans
entirely out of the proceeds of its
active trade balance, which is es-
sential in the absence of further
foreign loans.
In the midst of the worldwide de-
preston, Germany has succeeded in
increasing its 1913 per cent share
of the worlds exports to 12.4 in
1880 and keeping il not enlarging
its proportion so far this year. A
big favorable trade balance was
achieved when the Bruening gov
ernment throttled imports and lin
tied purchases abroad to the min
imum.
The collapse of world prices for
raw materials, and to a less extent
for foodstuffs. has enabled huge
economies on imported goods. Ger
factories are kept going at
a. low prices for raw materials, and
with the wage reductions which
have been put into effect, make her
a formidable competitor IN the
worlds export markets.
The way Germany's trade balance
has been built up is graphically il
lustrated by the figures, which
show that except for 1926 and 1929,
when the export surplus was 100000
marks and 100000 marks respect
lively, all the German trade bal
ances for the first IL post war years
were unfavorable-in 1927 the sur
plus of imports over exports even
reached 3,500,000,000 marks $685.
900 10000
The turning point was marked in
1880 when exports-for the first
time surprising Great Britains-
imports by 1895 ,0O0,0 600
marks 100000. That record
Germany is likely to outdistance in
1881, as in the first five months
the surplus of exports over imports
was 640000000 marks, against 565,-
100000 in 1890.
How the slump in world prices
proves vast advantage to Ger
many is shown in the fact that i'm
ports of raw materials for the first
five months of this year were 28.1
per cent less in quantity but IS per
cent less in value than for the cor
five months of 1880.

FEDERAL FARM
BOARD REVEALS
SELLING PLANS
BY H. o. THOMPSON
rnifad preSS Staff CorreSponder


WASHINGTON, July /. U.P)-
The federal farm board, whose
wheat policy has been assailed in
many quarters, will not withdraw
from domestic or world markets,
but will limit its domestic sales of
government owned wheat to 5,000,-
900 bushels a month during the
year beginning today.
This modification of policy, an
nounced last night, by the board
was response to President Hoov-
er's suggestion of last Saturday
that the board clarity its position.
1t represented some deviations from
the principles the board hitherto
has followed. But it carried a re-
fusal to accede to the wishes of the
grain trade and others, including
Vice President Curtis, who wanted
the boards surplus held complete
ly off the market while the 1881
crop is being sold.
Chairman James Clifton Stone,
who owns a big farm and small
racing stable down in Kentucky,
said in explanation of the state
ment that the board had not yield
ed to political pressure from the
White House or elsewhere. The
statement was issued after numer-
Gus conferences and consultations,
including a visit by Chairman Stone
to the White House.
The world market for wheat
shows improved prospects for next
year.. the board stated. This, to-
gether with the more favorable in
ternational situation that will be
created by the Presidents debt plan,
gives hope of a generally more
favorable export market for farm
products during the forthcoming
year." the board commented.

Both Pilots Certain OF
Completing Journey In
Record Time.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, July I.
U.P)-The Winnie Mae, carry
ing Wiley Post and Harold
Gatty on the last leg of their
round the world journey, took
off from Cleveland airport at
4:45 p. m. EST. after halting 80
minutes to refuel.
A crowd surrounded the plane as
its wheels coasted to stop, pre-
venting the flyers getting out until
airport attaches parted the specta.
tors.
Post was the first to alight. He
appeared tired and nettled at the
crowds press. Two husky policemen
escorted him to the hangar.
Gatty announced they would leave
Immediately for New York.
Gatty alighted and followed Post
toward a microphone which was
set up for a National radio hookup
Elinor Smith, famous New York
girl flyer, announced the pilots to
the estimated millions who were
listening in.
Everything was fine on the trip
from Edmonton" Gatty told the
audience. Post reiterated the state
ment of bis navigator.
Gatty told the United Press they
encountered rain during the first
hour of their flight from Edmonton
but later the skies cleared.
For the rest of the trip weather
conditions were IDEAL" he said.
Gatty added that the last leg of
their trip had not been traversed
either by himself or Post.
But flying over new territory Is
nothing new to us now" he ex-
planned with a smile. The United
Press delivered a message which his
wife, enroute by air to New York
to greet her husband tonight, re-
quested be given him upon his ar
rival. Gatty said he would attempt
to reach her by radio after leaving
Cleveland. Mrs. Gatty is on a
transcontinental Western Air Ex-
press plane.
The clothes of the young naviga-
tor were frayed, almost tattered
from the long journey. The legs of
his trousers were rolled up to the
knees.
Post also showed the hardships
of the trip, but smiled broadly as
he alighted from the plane. He was
dirty, begrimed, but visibly happy
at approaching the end of their
hazardous trip.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, July l. up
Wiley Post and Harold Gatty landed
their trim ship, Winnie Mae, at
Cleveland airport at Alb p. m. EST.
today in their last stop before COM

breaking flight around the world.
Flying in from Edmonton, Alber-
ia, the flyers alighted upon United
States soil for the first time since
leaving New York eight days ago.
/ AS the tired and begrimed pilots
alighted, a crew of mechanics trun-
died the Winnie Mae to the hangar
and began refueling so the flyers
could resume the last leg of their
trip within the hour.

CRISP TO DISCUSS
HOUSE RULES ON AIR
Forum Speaker for Revision So
Committee May Not Strangle
Legislation Desired by Majority.

The need for revision of the House
Fules-which, 1t is charged, give too
much power to the Rules Committee
and permit strangling Of legislation ap-
proved by majority Of the members
will be outlined tonight by Representa-
tive Charles r. Crisp Of Georgia in
the National Radio Forum, arranged by
The Washington Star and broadcast
over a Nationwide network of the CO.
lumbia Broadcasting Co. His address
will be heard locally over station
WMAL.
Representative Crisp, leader in the
fight to amend the rules, has been a
member Of the House for 10 years. Prior
to his election to that body, while the
late Champ Clark was Speaker OF the
House, he acted as parliamentarian.
While there have been many attempts
to liberalize the House rules, one of the
strongest occurred in 1910, when an
effort was made TO overthrow the power
OF the Speaker. when Uncle Joe" Cam
non, termed the Car" held that Of
fee. The rules were amended, with the
result that much of the control was
taken from the Speaker and placed in
the hands of the Rules Committee. The
present complaint is that the commit
tee has become too autocratic.
Representative Crisp will go on the air
at $50 pm.
