All Possible Aid Offered Texan
Who Came Down on June IS
In the Siberian WiIds
By LINTON WELLS

MOSCOW, July 8 (I.N.S.).
Coincident with reports that
Soviet rescue planes have al
ready reached James Mattern,
long lost round the world
flier, at Anadir in Chukotka
province, official confirmation
was received today that he
wrecked his plane on landing
on June Is.
The smiling Texas aviator, it
was officially stated, came down
at a point approximately so miles
from the village of Anadir be-
cause of motor trouble.
He had taken off the day
before from Khabanovsk, Siberia,
in the hope of reaching Nome,
Alaska, a distance of $500 miles,
in a single hop.
May Get a Plane
Reports here stated the engine
was completely wrecked, and if
he desires to fly out of the
Eastern Siberian wilderness, So
Wet officials are ready to supply
him with a new engine or with
an entirely new plane.
Soviet frontier guards, it was
said, rendered Mattern all pos
sible assistance, but no explana-
ton was given of the three
weeks silence that followed his
forced descent.
1t was regarded strange that
Mattern was unable to get word
through fGS such a long period
if he landed only so mills from
Anadir.
Searchers Not There
Soviet aviation officials said
they had not confirmed reports
that searchers had actually landed
at Anadir, but reports to this ef-
feet were believed true.
There was no indication, how.
ever, of what steps were being
taken to get Mattern back to
civilization.
Soviet officials still declined to
state whether they will permit

BY International News Service
Amelia Earhart, famous trans
atlantic aviatrix, was winging her
way across the continent again
this afternoon in an attempt to
establish a new transcontinental
speed record.
The last report Of her where
abouts was from Amarillo, Tex,
when she scared into the sky at
1925 a. m. determined to go as
far as she could before taking
more fuel in her journey from Los
Angeles to Newark.
A loose hatch cover had caused
the daring aviatriX to land in
Amarillo at 7::45 a. m. She was
not out of fuel, but while the
hatch was being fastened she had
100 gallons Of gas and a quantity
of oil put in her machine. Her
unexpected stop in Amarillo
brought a change in Miss Ear
hart's plan to stop at Wichita.
Miss Earhart left Los Angeles
last night at 1872 on what was
to be a projected one-stop flight
across the country. She hoped to
break the women's transconti-
mental record of 10 hours, 4
minutes. Her own previous rec
ord, established in July of last
year, was 19 hours, Is minutes
and IS seconds.

STRIKE
DUE MONDAY

Every member of the local
plasterers' union will join in a
walkout Monday in protest against
the attempts of builders to re-
duce the daily pay scale from $14
to $12, it was learned today.
About 300 men will join in the
walkout.
Herbert Nelson, vice president
of the union, said the employers
were holding up work to force
members of the union through
destitution to accept the lowered
scale.
The union has been seeking
for two and a half months to
reach an agreement with en-
ployers so that men on Govern
ment building projects would re-
ceive the $14 daily pay, with the
work being rotated so that every
plasterer would get some en-
ployment.

PRICE BOOST
FOR BREAD
ST|RSD. c.
Bakers Threats Draw Fire of
Citizen Groups; Capper
Backs Foes of Rise

A fight against plans of
baking companies to raise the
price of bread in Washington
was organized today.
All members of citizens associa-
tions and members of the Federal
Employees Union were called upon
to protest against price rise to
the House and Senate District
committees and to individual
members of Congress.
Fred A. Berlin, secretary Of the
National Board of Trade, asked
Washingtonians for concerted
action against plans of bakers,
which were discussed by them two
weeks ago.
Tax Held Excuse
He said the bakers will use as
an excuse, to drive the price OF a
loaf from 8 to 10 cents, the fact
that the Federal tax Of 80 cents a
bushel on wheat becomes effective
at midnight tonight.
Two years ago, he said, when
the Capper committee was in
vestigating bread prices, the bak'
ers avowed that the price OF
wheat had little to do with the
cost of bread because production
and distribution costs were high.
GOuging, Says Capper
A letter from Senator Arthur
Capper (RJ of Kansas confirm
ing this was received today by
Berlin. The letter said:
81 was chairman of the Sem
ate committee which investi-
gated the price of bread about
two years ago. We found that
the reduction in the price Of
wheat was not reflected in lower
prices for bread. In fact, the
bakers attempted to show the
cost of wheat was a compare
lively small factor in the cost of
bread.
II am of the opinion that
there is nothing to justify the
advance in the price of bread in
Washington at this time.
There is undoubtedly a fair
profit in bread at the prevail
ing price of wheat and flour.
Any attempt to raise the price
2 or 3 cents a loaf is gOuging
the public"

BY HELEN KAY

I heard two hundred and nine
years speak.
The years were embodied in three
persons. They represented three ma
tons.
The youngest was Henri Barbusse,
of France, aged 81. Tall, eagle like,
speaking in a husky tone Of voice,
with prophetic forwardnesS, long, lean,
sensitive to his audiences reaction,
writer, an intellectual, and above
all a Communist.
Our own Mother Bloor Is II. She
is the second of this trio. Small,
vibrant, speaking emotionally Of
what she saw, with burning Goals in
a creased face for eyes, an organizer,
the Oldest member of the Central
Committee of the Communist Party
Of the United States, and proud of it..
And he who brought the total OF
years up from a mere 1872 to 209 is
Tom Mann Of Great Britain, aged
". Stockily built, speaking passion
ately, his voice carrying through the
great hall without aid Of a micro
phone, speaking with nineteenth
century floweriness and twentieth
century ideas, an organizer Of labor
for nearly sixty years, a Communist.
He expects to live to see the revolu-
ton in his own country, and he's do
ing his best to make it come.
They put us, young in years, to
shame. Such energy, such enthuSi-
asm, such daring, permeates from
these aged-not aged" for that
speaks Of something old, unalive;
these men and woman are vibrant
with fight and filled with knowledge
derived from their long experience
