MOLEY DISCUSSES
TRADE WITH RUSSIA
He and Soviet Commissar Talk of
Plan for Selling Moscow
American Cotton.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 3-Assistant Secre-
tary of State Raymond Moley conferred
yesterday with Maxim Litvinoff, for
eign commiSsar for Soviet Russia, and
it was understood they discussed plar
for selling Russia a quantity Of Ameri-
can cotton, the purchase to be financed
through an American Government loan
The deal was reliably stated to have
reached a stage where tentative con-
tract had been drawn.
It also was the occasion for a discus
sion of other plans for closer trade re-
lations between the United States and
Russia.
While Prof. Moley said the talk did
not involve the question Of recognizing
the Soviet Union. it was believed here
that closer commercial contact is a pre-
liminary to extending formal recogni-
ton.
M. Litvinoff has frankly stated that
Russia can use large quantities of metal
and other raw materials. including cot
ton, and indications are that the United
States hopes to help home recovery by
selling surpluses in this vast market
The conference followed close upon
resumption of British Russian trade re-
lations Saturday with the release of two
Britons who had been imprisoned in
Moscow after being convicted Of sabot-
age and espionage.

INDIANAPOLIS, July Russell
Boardman. 35-year-old Bostcn. Mass,
sportsman and aviator injured Saturday
during the TranScontinental Air Race,
died this morning at City Hospital.
The one-time co-holder of the world S
long distance, nonstop flight record.
succumbed to injuries which included
a fractured skull, a broken shoulder and
a punctured lung.
Among the few persons permitted in
his hospital room before death came
were Mrs. Boa-dman, who flew here
from Providence, r. l., and his brother
Earl, who came from Albuquerque, N.
Mex.
Disaster Ends Career.
Disaster ended Boardman's 12-year
flying career Saturday morning as he
lifted his tiny plane from municipal air
port here with 200 gallons of gasoline
to continue his New York-to-Los An
geles dash in a $4,000 prize race.
Twenty-Five feet frcm the ground a
cross-wind caught the stubby little craft.
1t Topped over, hit the ground and
bounded about like a wounded bird.
Boardman dropped unconscious from
the cockpit when ground crews lifted
the overturned ship.
Physicians at City Hospital, where he
was taken. began grim but they be-
lieved almost hopeless battle to save his
lite. They were surprised when he lin
gered on nearly 48 hours. Sunday a
slender hope was held out when slight
improvement in his condition was
seen, but he became weaker this
morning.
Had Many Narrow Escapes.
Boardman had had many narrow es-
capes during career that included
motor cycle racing speed boat plotting
and transatlantic flying
His greatest feat in the air was the
flight from New York to Istanbul
Turkey, in 1881. with John Polando of
Lynn, Mass. as co-pilot. They made
the 5,000-mile journey in 40 hours. 1t
stood for some time as the worlds long
distance, nonstop flight record.
Recently Board:s:an and Rosetta
Valenti, Italian aviatrix, announced
plans for a nonstop flight to Rome
late this month in the same plane used
in the 1Stanbul hop.
The plane which figured in the fatal
crash Saturday was the one in which
Maj. James H. Doolittle last year estab-
lished land plane speed record Of
294.88 miles an hour. Boardman had
planned to fly 1t in the national speed
races this week at Los Angeles.

Criticism a week ago Of the Roose-
welt administration by Representative
Smell Of New York, House Republican
leader. yesterday was raped by Post
master General Farley, chairman Of the
Democratic National Committee as q
ruthless and reckless exhibition OF
petty partisan politics"
Conterdiag that the public as q
whole was marching solidly behind
President Roosevelt and rejoicing at the
general and continuous revival of busi-
ness" Farley asserted in a statement
through the National Committee that
SHELLS "untimely and unwarranted at
tack" deserved condemnation from
every citizen who puts recovery of the
Nation above any desire for mere par
tisan success"
Smell inserted in the Congressional
Record his declaration that the Demo-
cratic Congress and the administration
had gone on spending spree" and
drew counter-attacks from Democratic
leaders at both ends of the Capital by
asserting that the administration was
keeping two sets of books in order to
attain balanced budget
In my opinion" Farley said. "Mr.
SHELLS rather frenzied outburst will not
even meet the approval of a majority
Of his party colleagues in the House
presumably 1t was intended to be
the opening gun of the next congress
sional campaign in connection with the
movement among some of his party or
ganization leaders. because the attack
is being industriously circulated by
them.
If so, 1t Is 'dud' No campaign in
opposition to national recovery and ma
tional prosperity could or should have
the slightest chance o. success"
The Postmaster General ended by say
ing that although he was out Of SYM

ceived. The state also has 5000
acres left over from the land re-
form carried out after the war.
