RUNNERS
ANNOY UTAH
BY GEORGE ID. CRISSEY
United Press staff Correspondent


SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, July -.
U.P)-A new industry - that OF
beer running has sprung up
along the Utah border in the wake
of congressional action in legal
izing 80 per cent brew.
There is little or nothing Utah
dry officers, endeavoring to en-
force a bone-dry constitutional
provision, can do about it as the
beer-runners have taken advan-
tage of interstate commerce regu-
lations and proceed strictly ac-
cording to Hoyle, at least on the
surface.
To one side of Utah lies Wyom-
ing. where beer is legal. To the
other is Nevada and beer flows
there also. Other wet spots ad-
joining the border are Colorado
and Arizona. but the principal
activity centers around the Utah
Nevada and Utah Wyoming
boundaries.
Beer is shipped from Wyoming
for example. to Nevada and proper
bills of lading are prepared and
carried. The shipments cannot be
seized, Utahs attorney general
has ruled. Much of the beer, ma
turally, never reaches its destina-
ton.
Most officials admit. however,
that there has been little change
in the beer situation, except that
better beer is available. Near beer
spiked with alcohol always has
been sold. The spiked brew now
has been largely replaced by 80
brew

AIR C|RCUSES
IN GERMANY

BERLIN. July "a. U.P) - Flying
circuses. which went out of exis-
tence in the United States some
time ago, now are making their ap-
pearance in Germany. The first of
a string is touring the northern
part Of the country.
These German flying Circuses are,
however. widely different from the
American. They are not interested
in box office returns. The shows
are gratuitous. staged for the sole
purpose of popularizing aviation.
Their expenses are borne by the
ministry of aviation.
The German flying circus is
equipped to pitch tents anywhere.
The first outfit. which is t0 serve
as model for its successors, has a
motorized camp house With
trailer
The squadron Of the flying
circus consists of two motor planes
an ancient Albatross and a mod
ern Klemm three-seate" to carry
enthusiastic passengers -- and
number Of gliding planes.
Small. as is the number Of planes,
is also the crew. There is only one
pilot for flying the motor planes.
The rest of the crew is made up
Of a glider pilot, a mechanic, a
carpenter and three odd-job men
capable Of working as chauffeur

siastic about her jungle home.
The jungles, she said are an ideal

Entertaining guests is an easy
task, as she sees it. To begin with,
there's never any fear of guests be-
coming bored. During the day

rived when it is desirable 10 put the
whole world on notice that the ad-
ministration can control the value
of the dollar and that it has the
courage TO control it.
There are. no doubt. several ways
in which this may be done. The
essential point is to do something
which will be clear proof TO the
world that the value Of the dollar
is not TO be determined by mere
speculation, but by the will of the
government
To achieve this result it is desir-
able to prepare plans for a definite.
though limited and tentative. action
in managing the dollar Since the
most immediate danger is that
speculation may reverse itself and
drive the dollar upward in the au-
tumn, making necessary drastic
measures to drive it downward it
might be advisable to consider fix
ing a point above which the dollar
will not be allowed TO rise.
Thus it might be advisable to en-
power the federal reserve system to
buy, but not to sell, gold at its pres
ent dollar value
This may not be the best way to
achieve the result. But the sugges-
ton at least does illustrate the type
of action which the administration
ought TO be getting ready to take.

work. But We can not become alb
Sorbed so completely by the task
that we do not look ahead and
make plans for the next step. That
step is to manager the speculative
movement which was initiated by
the abandonment OF the gold stand
ard and since then has been slim
ulated by the depreciation of the
dollar.
For it is clear that if the specu-
lative rise in prices runs too far
ahead of the recovery of purchasing
power. we easily may reach a posi-
ton where we shall have TO choose
between collapse of the speculation,
which would produce another eco
nomic depression, and letting the
speculation run TO such great
lengths that it would become uncon-
trollable.
THIS does not mean that the
IL administration could. or ought,
now to stabilize the dollar in rela-
ton to foreign currencies, or in re-
lation to gold. But it does mean. it
seems to me, that the time has ar

a budget which is unbalanced
through uncomfortable expenditures
makes it impossible for a govern
ment 10 draw upon the national
credit for the deliberate purpose Of
expanding purchasing power.
I Having brought the budget
under control. the administration
was then in a position TO sever the
gold link which held American
prices 70 the world gold price level
The decision was taken 70 leave the
gold standard. and the President
was granted almost absolute power
to revalue the dollar in terms OF
American commodities
5. This decision broke the long
and devastating bearishness of the
people. and aided by certain under
living economic tendencies produced
an almost instantaneous rise in the
dollar prices of commodities and Of
securities. This rise greatly enhanced
the dollar purchasing power OF large
sections of the community and this
new purchasing power reflected it
self in an increased demand for con-
sumner goods.
DUT it was evident from the be-
ID ginning that this speculative
rise in prices rested upon an inse-
cure foundation The very fact thai
prices were rising so fast involved
the danger that production would
be increased faster than goods
could be purchased at the higher
prices
Therefore. it was considered neces-
sary TO set up the elaborate ma
chinery of the farm bill and tnC
