Countrymen Raised
Funds for Flight

CHICAGO, July II GN.S0,
The transatlantic fligh hit that
ended in death today for Capt
Stephen Darius and Stanley T,
Girenus had its inception in Chi
cago and was financed by Lith,
uanians of Chicago and New
York.
On May 7 the two airmen took
off from here for New York in
their Bellanca plane, the Lithu-
anica, a special long distance
6ingle-motored ship. A dane e
given by their countrymen last
November completed the funds
for the flight.
Neither Married
Both men had made their
homes here. Neither was mar,
Tied.
When informed of the fatal
crash at Soldin, Germany, Albert
Jucius, brotherin-law Of Girenas,
was stunned. He said:
"I thought they would make
It. Are you Sure?"
An effort was made to COM
municate with Mrs. Degutis, the
captains mother, but she and
other members of her family bad
left on an out-of-town trip.

private in the United States
Army six days after the United
States entered the war with Ger.
many. He received a regimental
citation for "habitual bravery un-
der fire" He was wounded in
the chest by a fragment of high
explosive at the second battle of
the Marine.
Went To University
Invalided home, he was sent,
after disqualification. to the Uni
versity of Chicago for education
at the Governments expense.
In 1921 he enlisted in the Lith-
uanian air corps, rising subse-
quently to the rank Of captain.
He returned to the United States
in 1928 and opened an air school
at South Bend, Ind.
Lieutenant Girenas likewise was
a war veteran. He was born in
Upina, Lithuania, and came to
this country at the age of 7.
He received his first aviation
experience during the war at
Love Field, Dallas, Tex, where
he was a mechanic with the 136th
aerial squadron.
Opened Air School
Returning to Chicago after the
war, he opened an air school
here, he continued to operate this
school until 1881.
Captain Darius and Lieutenant
Girenus took off without inform
ing United States Department of
Commerce authorities of their in
tention to do so.
There had been a disagreement
with officials in Washington, cen
tering around a bill for $1O0 for
cable messages sent out in con-
nection with the obtaining of per
mitS for them to fly over the
various countries between here
and Lithuania.
The two airmen took off with
out these permits, which still were
being held up by the Government.

Va. Farmer Is Fined
for Refusing to Sit
onJuryWithNegroes

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Sept. 10.
Wexford Gilman, well-to-do
farmer, was today held in contempt
of court by Circuit Judge Frederick
w. Coleman for refusing to serve with
two Negroes on the local grand jury.
Gilmore was given the alternative
of paying $40 fine or serving two days
in Jail. He paid the fine.
This was the first instance Of TINS
kind since various circuit judges an
nounced that Negroes would here
after be drawn to act on indictments.
This decision is undoubtedly a rever-
beration of the energetic fight for
Negro jurors made by the Interna-
tional Labor Defense in the Scots
boro, Herndon and other cases, as
well as the campaign around the de-
mand for the extradition OF George
Crawford, Negro, from Massaehu-
sets to Virginia.

City Has Promised
Banks More Taxes,
Wage Cuts Is Rumor

NEW YORK, Sept. BIN return
for promise from the city gov
eminent to levy new taxes and slash
employees salaries, the Rockefeller
Morgan banks have indicated their
intention of lending the city more
money to meet its loan payments, it
was reported today.
Between now and December /, the
city must pay S298,205, 900 to the
banks and investors who hold the
city bonds, loans, and stock notes.
The vast majority of these invest
ments are held by a small group Of
Wall Street banks headed by the
Rockefeller and Morgan interests.
During this period, about s70.000,-
600 will be necessary for payrolls.
The city expects to receive only
about $100,000,000 in revenue, but it
is determined to default on payrolls
rather than default on the payments
to the bankers.
Untermeyer has suggested to Gov
ernor Lehman, who is now in this
city, that the legislature be convened
to repeal all mandatory increases in
the city civil service payrolls. Leh-
man has indicated willingness to do
this.

Dollar Crashes to
81 Cents; Insiders
Reap Huge Profits

NEW YORK. - Signalling further
inflationary measures of the Roose-
velt government, the dollar swooped
downward again yesterday, reaching a
low point Of 64.8 cents on the inter-
national money markets.
This raised the price of an ounce
of gold to $31.44, and means a rich
harvest of profits to those who can
procure newly-mined gold in this
country. The price here is about $40.
1t is openly runored that many
Washington officials close to Roose-
welt administration are reaping a
harvest as a result of the recent ad-
ministration ruling permitting Amer
lean gold owners to sell their hold
ings abroad.
Among those mentioned as raking
in huge profits are Bernard Baruch,
Roosevelt's closest financial adviser;
William Randolph Hearst and Ogden
Mills, secretary of the Treasury under
Hoover.

Pennsylvania Milk

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Sept. 49,
Unless the Federal Milk Code, which
fails to relieve the present plight of
the milk farmers, and only succeeds
in raising the city prices for city
consumers, is drastically revised, the
farmers of Eastern Pennsylvania and
New Jersey are ready to go out on
strike, Lem Harris, Executive Secre-
tary of the Regional Committee of
Action declared today.
The arrangements for the strike
have been completed, Harris said,
and await execution pending the de-
cision of the farmers who meet to-
day, decide on the next form of &C
ton. This meeting, called General
Congress of Farmers and Workers,
will consider ways and means of cut
ting down the enormous profits Of
the milk monopolies by increasing
the price the farmer gets for his
milk, and decreasing the price the
city workers must pay.
"The strike can begin within three
hours" Harris said. I'VE demand a
maximum city price of nine cents,
and a minimum price to the farmers
of five cents"

ROOSEVELT
SIGNS SOFT
COAL CODE
Compulsory Arbitra-
ton Board Aims To
Stop Strikes
BY HARRY CANNES.

NEW YORK. Roosevelt
has signed the soft coal code. The
code grants certain paper concessions
on wages to the miners. At the same
time it provides a system Of the worst
form Of compulsory arbitration con-
tanned in any code to keep the min
ers from fighting to see that the con-
cessions are carried out.
The promise of code that would
improve the miners conditions was
first made last August by Roosevelt
when 10000 miners went on strike
despite the orders of John L. Lewis
and the other UMWA officials. The
miners were driven back to work then.
For over month no code was
passed A week before the present
code was adopted more than 10000
Pennsylvania miners again came out
on strike. This forced the signing of
the code in it's present form.
The miners were getting from 81
to So a day, and now the code pro-
poses wages of from $3.50 for COM
mon outside labor, to $3.50 for skilled
inside labor in the main fields. These
are not the miners demands, though
on paper at least they raise wages
above the present levels. The miners
demands we're expressed in the Ma
tional Miners Union code, presented
in Washington, providing for a Sc
day basic scale for six-hour day,
five day week, with a guarantee of
40-weeks work a year.
Not Willingly
Yet, the present code with its-so
far-paper concessions was not grant
ed willingly by the coal operators.
It was won through the two militant
strikes of the miners.
It is because of the fact that the
miners won concessions through
strike, that John L. Lewis and the
coal operators insisted on the COM

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. H.
"Cuba has coastwise of 500 miles.
Thirty warships for 300 miles means

gress Against War came to protest
to the present against the interven-
