CLEVELAND, August 29.-Oficials of
the National Air Races and represent
ative of so speed flyers who threatened
to strike for more prize money were in
conference behind closed doors today in
an effort to reach an agreement.
The meeting apparently was dead

Chicago, representing the dissatisfied
pilots. in session with Cliff Henderson,
managing director of the races; L. w.
Greve, president, and F. w. Cleveland,
chairman of the Contest Committee.

attended part of the conference.
About half of the pilots entered in the
races signed petition demanding the
prize money for the closed course, free
for-all events be doubled, claiming that
the total for these events is only % per
cent of what had been previously ad-
vertised.
Howard said he would lose $4,000
even if he won all of the free-for-aIl
events. Il entered three planes and re-

CONWAY, N. H., August 29.-Sharp-
shooting at Einstein's theory that space
is curved, airplanes of Northwestern
University will rise 10000 feet during
the total eclipse of the sun Wednesday.
The planes will check whether the
strange curving of light rays from stars,
which has been attributed to their pas
sage through space which is actually
curved. may be due more or less to mere
distortion of light passing through the
lower layers of the earth's atmosphere.
The findings of the planes may turn
out either way, Strengthening or weak
ening the space curvature hypothesis.
Three planes will rise from Freyburg,
Me, to check on the condition of the
atmosphere during the total eclipse.
One will fly at TOO feet, another at 5000
and the third at 10000. Each will carry
similar set of recording instruments.
A fourth set will be fastened to poles,
so to 60 feet above the ground.
All readings will concentrate on tenn
perature and atmospheric pressure. In
the darkness of the moons shadow tenn
peratures drop. 1t is thought that the
weight of the atmosphere-its pressure
also may change.
From these readings astronomers can
calculate how much the atmosphere ef-
fects the accuracy of pictures of stars
seen near the sun during total eclipse.

NOMURA'S MISSION
ONE Of GOOD WILL
Tokio's AbIest Sailor Coming
to U. S. at Time of Ten

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Admiral Nomura. one Of Japar's most
popular and able sailors, is Que TO ar
rive in Washington on goodwill
mission" about the time the japanese
government announces officially its
recognition of the Manchukuo state
Neither the State Department nor
the japanese embassy have SO far been
informed about the exact status of the
goodwill ambassador
1t is not known whether Admiral
Nomura will have the status of an am
bassador extraordinary or will come
here as an ordinary citizen, rs was the
case last January of the veteran mem
ber of the Diet, Count Kabayama.
In usually well informed quarters, 1t
is assumed the admiral will be given
an official status, to enable him to car
ry on, at least informally, conversation
with the State Department about the
consequences of the recognition of the
new Manchunan state.
Once Attache Here.
Admiral Nomura is we'll and favorably
known in Washington, where he was
naval attache during the World War,
and served as one of the naval advisers
to the Japanese delegation during the
Washington Conference of 1921-1922
He has formed in this city strong
friendships, especially with the present
chief of naval operations, Admiral Will
liam v. Pratt, who considers him not
only an able sailor but also square
shooter"
In the last few months, Nomura has
been much i' the public eye. He COM
manded the Japanese fleet during the
Shanghai incident last Spring and lost
an eye as a result of bomb outrage in
that city during the military festivities
on the Emperor's birthday, when un-
known individuals threw bomb on
the stand where the Japanese military
and naval commanding officers were
receiving the parade of the Japanese
garrison.
Officially the mission of the Japanese
admiral is that of good will He will
endeavor to dispel the present appre-
tensions which exist in this country,
due to the japanese attitude in the
Far East and to the reports that the
Japanese arsenals and navy yards are
working overtime to prepare the Japa
nese army and naval forces for any
emergency.

ago, had been an employe of the tele-
graph company since he was about 13,
when he started as a night messenger.
Officials of the company said his serv-
ices were more than satisfactory"

KANSAS CITY, August 20 CP).-Liv-
ing up to their advance predictions of
record-breaking speeds, four pilots roc
keted eastward toward Cleveland today
at $50 miles an hour and upward in
the transcontinental air race from Los

per hour in reaching Goodland Kans.
Lee Gehlbach Detroit, and Jimmie
Wedell, New Orleans, were racing along
at about $50 miles an hour.
Before taking off at Los Angeles in
the darkness of early morning the pilots
had predicted that the winner would
average $50 miles an hour or better. In
winning the event last year when he

that the hearing Of charges against
Mayor James j. Walker would be ad-
journed until after the funeral of the
mayors brother, George Walker, who
died at Saranac Lake today.
Because of the death of the mayors
brother" the Governor said, the hear

The Governor said he did not know

The Governors decision was reached

A second expected development in the
Walker case was postponed by matter
of hours when Supreme Court Justice
Ellis j. Staley said he would not make
public until tonight his decision on the
application of Walker for an order t.
stop the Governor deciding on the
custer request.

improved, but he suffered a relapse a
few days ago. His wife and their two
daughters, Helen and Dorothy, we've at
his bedside when he died.
He was member of the firm of
Hughes & Walker, insurance brokers.
Governors Powers Involved.
The motion before Judge Staley in
effect is an order requiring the Gov
ernor to show cause why he should not
be prohibited from giving a decision in
the case. Mayor Walker conterded be-
fore the court that Gov. Roosevelt had
no power to hear the custer charges or
to remove a mayor of New York. The
Governors answer, presented by Deputy
Attorney General Henry j. Epstein, was
twofold. He denied that the judiciary
can interfere in the executive functions
OF the Governor, and he claimed full
power to remove the mayor, if he felt
the charges warranted, under the New
York charter and the State constitu-
ton.
Mayor Walkers attorney John J.
Curtin, has limited several times at
further court action if the decision
was against the mayor.

The Reconstruction Finance Corpo-

which it will make loans to States,
municipalities and private corporations
for financing -liquidating construc-
ton projects.
New construction only is to be
financed" it said in a pamphlet dis
tributed to its loan agencies and Cham
bers of Commerce.
No loans may be made to refinance
or refund the financing of projects al
ready constructed, as that would not
create employment"
Advances will be made by the corpo-
ration out of the $500, 100000 increase
in funds provided by the relief act. No
project to be paid for through taxation
is eligible for loan. Liquidations must
be met through tolls, fees, rents or
other charges.
To insure the maximum employment,
borrowers must agree in writing to
limit the hours of workmen not hold
ing executive or administrative posi-
tions, to 80 hours a week and agree
not to use convict labor Preference
also is to be given ex-service men.
Each applicant for a self-lquidating
loan must supply full information on
the project An advisory board of five
engineers will assist in passing on con-
struction loans.
Among data private corporations
must supply in applications:
Comparative balance Sheets for each

the names. addresses, credit references,
salaries and other occupations OF all
officers and directors and the amount

1t was the discovery in the eclipse
of 1919 that these nearby stars record
ed heir images in different position
on Photographic plates than when their
light did not pass close by the sun
which gave relativity its first and most
sensational confirmation.
These photos showed that the star
light was drawn inward toward the sun.
This shift was twice as great at New
tons law of gravitation required, for
starlight was supposed to be bent a
little by gravitation even before Elm

The doubling of the amount of shift
agreed almost exactly with Einstein's
then new theory that space itself is
curved, so the Incredible idea of space
taking on definite shapes began to find
believers
No measurements of starlight bend
