FROWNS
ON PLANS OF
WORLD filters

NEW YORK, Oct. i3-CRt- The
round-the-world flight OF Hugh
Herndon and Clyde Pangborn IL
Illustrates how tickle fortune plays
hob with the best laid plans.
If Lady Luck hadn't taken q
% dive from her perch on their
plane, the boys might have snatch
ed the globe-girdling record from
Post and Gatty.
First Over Pacific
But then Herndon and Pangborn
wouldn't have been the first men
TO make a nonstop eastward flight
over the Pacific from Japan 70
the United States.
The Gatty-Post combination cir
cled the world in 3 days. Is hours
nrI 81 minutes. OF that total 4
days. 10 hours and 8 minutes repre-
Sented flying time-the time &C
tually spent in the air.
AT first glance the Herndon-
Pangborn figures seem TO indicate
they never had a chance to break
the record. When they arrive back
IN New York it will have taken
more than Two months and a half
TO go around the earth. Allowing
q generous 30 hours for the flight
from Wenatchee to New York
their flying time will be z days, q
hours and SO minutes.
Flying Time Fast
But that two and a half r:onNi
represent the result OF bad wealth
,er. accidents, a change in plans and
legal difficulties.
Their flying time, even with a
long detour TO Japan, is II hours
or so faster than the total elapsed
time of POST and Gatty, so it is
conceivable that IL they had kept
going without mishaps and had
been aided by reasonably good
weather, they might have set a
new world record.

Pres. Hoover intends that the
two subjects shall remain indubit-
ably linked. IN his approaching
conferences with Premier Laval OF

separated from the question Of val

There has been no indication,
however, that the administration

sion Of war debts.
Mr.. Hoover recalled only Tues

congressional leaders that In pro-
posing the inter-governmental debt
moratoriumshe had opposed cancel
lation OF war debts.
The chief executives attitude
has become increasingly clear here

Rail RATES
WILL HINDER
BAG SHIPPING
(By Staff Correspondent

SAN BENITO, Oct. e.-Altnough
both the u. s. and state depart
ments have modified their Mexican
fruit worm quarantine to permit
movement Of Valley citrus fruits in
mesh bags, 1t has been found that
railroad rates will not permit ship
ment in such containers except to
certain territories.
Prohibitive Rates
Railroad tariffs quote rates
on citrus fruit containers other than
boxes only to certain southwestern
and middle western states. Fruit
may be shipped to the other states
in mesh bags but would take a pro-
hibitively high rate unless q change
ear be brought about, 1t was point
ed out by rate experts.
Tariffs on citrus fruit in contain
ers other than boxes are quoted
for points In Arkansas, Oklahoma,
Louisiana, Illinois, Missouri, Kan
sas. Nebraska. Iowa, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Colorado and to Padu-
cab, KY, Ishpemig, Mich, Sioux
Falls, 5. D., and Memphis, Tenn.
Changes Sought
Although some advantage is seen
in rates to this territory in mesh
bags, the market for Valley fruit
has been moving steadily eastward
and efforts are now being made to
have changes brought about so that
the rate will be applicable in the
eastern, southeastern and other ter
ritories where 1t does not apply
now. II Is understood Florida has
been shipping bag fruit into all
these territories.
Citrus fruit in boxes must make
a minimum weight Of $4,000 pounds
a car, and in bags or bushel baskets
1t needs to make a minimum weight
of 27.840 pounds.
Fruit shipped into territory for
which bag or buShel basket rates
are not quoted must 60 third class
an dtake a rate Of approximately
a cent a pound higher. which han
dicap probably would prohibit ship
ments at a profit to such states.

bic, practicable and advisable" The
convention In business session tomor-
row VIII vote on the proposal
This recommendation represents one
Of the most important tentative OBJ
jectives of the realtors Of the Nation.
It Is designed to elevate the standards
Of efficiency and experience fer those

Accuracy Of appraisals on property
Is the key to profits to the buyers of
realty securities placed on developments
and sold TO investors who rely upon the
findings OF appraisers. Much of the
losses and other troubles in realty trans
actions. 1t is held by many, have arisen
from soyeroptimistic or faulty apprais-
ais.
