CONFERENCE IN
TEST TUESDAY
Americans Will Try Out
Sincerity of Europeans
Tomorrow
By HERBERT MOORE
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, July 17.-iUP).-
The United States delegation to
the world economic conference
planned last night to force 4
showdown Tuesday to ''tcst Ed
ropes sincerity"
The plan, as revealed to the
United Press by a spokesman for
the delegation, will revolve upon
the silver agreement program Of
fered by Senator Key Pittman OF
Nevada.
United States delegates gave
strong indication that they sus-
pect a scheme on the part of the
European gold bloc to Illustrate
this plan as a tactical maneuver
to cause the United States to re-
veal its sterilization policy.
The Americans have no inten-
ton of tipping their hand on
stabilization-even if President
Roosevelt at Washington would
allow them to, which is doubtful
and they intimated that if the
gold bloc proceeded with its re-
ported plan, the United States
might go so far as to decline to
participate in the conference when
plenary sessions are resumed late
this month.
Pittman worked all day Sunday
on the draft of a new silver plan
embodying four major points ana
containing basic eight-poWer
agreement. This he plans to ofer
for consideration by the monetary
committee of the conference TO-
morrow. ,.
"This agreeent furnishes a test
of Europe's sincerity the Amefl-
can spokesman said. :.
The revised Pittman plan IS
designed to overcome the obJec-
tions of Holland but there was
general fear among American del
egates that Holland would con-
tinue obdurate.
Pittman conferred last night
with the governor Of the Bank OF
China. Presumably he sought the
advice of the financial expert Oh
one of the great silver countries.
1t was indicated last night also
that the United States delegation
would seek an international agree
ment on the regulation of copper;
currency metal virtually ignored
thus far by the parley but regard
ed by delegates as of Importance
to the United States second only
to wheat.

CHICAGO, July 17.-{UP).-
General Italo Balbo and 95 filters
who represent the glory of mod
crn Rome witnessed yesterday the
grandeur that is Chicago's during
its century of progress eXposi-
ton.
From early morning until late
at night, General Balbo and his
men were feted, praised and
cheered. They stood, resplendent
in their white dress uniforms, be-
fore dignitaries of the city, state,
church and nation.
The young Italian air minister
led his aviators first Sunday to
the worlds fair, the exposition
which was the goal of Balbo
when he took off from Orbatello,
Italy, fortnight ago in the
greatest mass flight attempt mod
ern history has known. The great
aerial adventure was brought to
successful conclusion before a
throng Of perhaps million per-
sons when the fleet of "a planes
set down safely on Chicago har-
Dor late Saturday.
At the fair, its brilliant color
ings and architecture in remark
able similarity with the silver
sheen of the Italian seaplanes

formal calls on United States

Henry Horner of Illinois, and
President Rufus Dawes of the ex-
position. This group, with Mayor
Edwards J. Kelly Of Chicago. had

CHANGE IN TAX.
ON SALES WILL.
BE EFFECTED
Maxwell Indicates New
Plan to go in Force on
August |
ONE SCHEDULE FOR
SALES LESS THAN 81
By J. c. BASKERVILL
The Times News Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH. July 1.-THE sales
tax law will work more smoothly
and both the public and the mer
chants will be better satisfied
when three major changes are
made in the sales tax regulations
to become effective August |,
Commissioner Of Revenue A. j.
Maxwell said today. While these
changes have not yet been def.
nitely worked out, it was indicat''
ed they will be as follows:
First, Only one schedule will be
set up for the division of the tax
on sales of less than 81, instead
of the four schedules now con-
tanned in the regulations.
Second, Merchants will be al
lowed to assess the three per cent
sales tax on the aggregate or
cumulative total of a series Of
sales instead of upon each sep"
arate article sold, as is required
in the present regulations.
Third, The department of reve-
nue. will supply the placards to
the merchants which the law re-
quires must show the schedule III
use and announce that the prices
charged include the three per
cent sales tax.
While the question of making
it mandatory for all merchants to
show both the selling price of an
article and the tax as two sep
arate items was discussed, the
merchants are by no means as
much in favor of this as they
were, Commissioner Maxwell indi-
Gated, with the result that no
change in the present ruling,
making this optional, is now ex-
pected. Many merchants are
finding that the showing of the
sales price and tax as two sep
arate items rather than merely
showing one price that includes
the sales tax. is proving to be
bad sales psychology and that
they are losing business as re-
suit. Many that started out show
ing both the price and the tax as
two items are changing over to
the single price system. The ad-
vertised price including the
amount of the sales tax.

the tax on amounts of less than

BERLIN, July 17.-UP).--
Wiley Post. we'll started on his
projected world solo flight, was
delayed last night by a leaking
oil line on his monoplane Winnie
Mae. The trouble forced him to
land at Koeningsberg, East Prus-
STA.
The veteran Oklahoma pilot,
who flew from New York to Ber-
lin in 25 hours, 46 minutes on the
first leg of his attempt to girdle
the globe in six days, was en- route
to Novosibirsk, Siberia, when the
necessity for repairs forced him
down.
He assured the United Press i'll
an exclusive telephone interview
from the air field at Koeningsburg
that nothing serious was the mat
ter with his plane.
Posts Oklahoma accent puzzled
airdrome officials, who asked the
United Press correspondent to in
terpret his "brand of English" for
them.
"He speaks a brand of English
none of us here understands" the
airdrome manager complained
quizzically.
T'll be all right" said Post
when he reached the phone. Just
let me go to bed"
Explaining the trouble which
forced him down, Post continued:
ST experienced engine trouble
between Koeningsberg and Kovno
Lithuania) and decided to return
and land at Koeningsberg to have
it fixed. It's only leaking oil
line.
T'm going to get some sleep and
leave here at daylight" he said.
The Oklahoman laughingly re-
jected the offer Of this corrcspon-
dent to translate his English for
airfeld officials.
Thanks but I don't need any
help" he said. "My trouble is not
serious and l can get along with
sign language. Pm going to try
to catch little sleep now and
plan to get away by about three
a. M"
(Three a. m. at Koeningsbeerg
would be 10 p. m. in New York;.
Although his voice seemed to
indicate fatigue, Post assured the
correspondent he was neither tired
nor hungry.
"But excuse me now" he broke
in, "and I'll get along and attend
to my engine"
Airdrome officials then return
ed to the telephone and said Posts
start probably would be DELAYED
until a a. m. I'll p. m. EDl).
They said Post appeared most
chagrined at the loss of time.
They said their understanding
was that the trouble with the Win
ME Mae was with the robot pilot,
which Post had counted upon to
relieve him of much Of the strain
of flying the world circuit. They
said this device was SO compllcat-
ed that repairs there were impos-
sible and that Post might be COM
PEELED to fly the rest of his long
course without the robots assls-
lance. =.

was without untoward event, he

But now, suddenly, she is

very nicely. She is proving that
she's fully as able to be the

What difference does it

the load; why shouldn't I help
