Mrs. 7 Townsend's
Musical Wed.

The second of the series Of
Mrs. Townsend's Morning Mu-
sicales will be given on Wednes-
day at the Mayflower, and it
promises to be one of the most
delightful treats offered music
lovers in the Capital this season.
The soloists will be Nine.
Ninon Vallin and the Aguilar
Lutte Quartet, Nine. Vallin,
the brilliant French soprano,
whose operate successes in Eur
ope and South America have
distinguished her, is not only
the posseSsor of an extraordin-
ary voice, but she is a musician,
profound and mature in her art.
The Quartette will bring to
Washington an instrument long
associated with the romance of
wandering troubadours and
moonlight seranades, but little
known to the modern public.
In every country, except
Spain, the lutte has practically
slipped in to legendary history,
until revived by the Aguilars. A
delightful program has been ar
ranged, and many reservations
have been made.

France Threatens u. S. With High Tariff
Stocks Soar
Again, Led
By Rails

NEW YORK, April "a QN.S).
The stock market swept forward
again today with leaders rising
/ to points on the fourth day
of the initiation boom.
Another buying wave flooded
the market around the middle Of
the session and the high-Speed
ticker was behind the whole
second hour.
The advance was accompanied
by further weakness in the dollar,
with guilders up sharply. Bonds
displayed a good tone for the
second day. United States issues
were firm, while speculative bonds
rose sharply.
The rails set the pace for the
market after an early dip Of to
2 points on profit-taking. A
favorable traffic report brought
heavy buying into the carrier
group and their uprush set the
speculative wheels rolling again.
Mining shares were. outstand-
ingly strong, with silver and gold
stocks jumping Q to 4 points,
led by SHomestake. Steel common
was taken in big volume, rising
more than a point, while General
Motors was turned over in huge
blocks.
e Turnover was around 1900, 900
shares, the biggest Saturday since
last September.

Minister of Commerce Told to
t. Draw Up New Scale of
! Duties on U. S. Goods

PARIS, April % (I.N.s.).
Emergency measures to meet
the situation brought about by
Americas s abandonment Of the
gold standard-with an in
creased tariff on American
goods at the top of the list
were drafted by the French
cabinet at a special session to-
day.
Members Of the cabinet, it
was learned, voiced their de-
termination to keep France on
the gold standard.
To Protect Franc
In order to protect the franc
and safeguard French industry,
the minister Of commerce was
Instructed to draw up an in
creased tariff scale for Ameri-
can goods. No attempt will be
made to place the new scale in
operation, however. until the
situation is cleared.
The question of foreign debts
also was discussed at the meet
ing, and the Cabinet decided to
remind former Premier Herriot,
who is on the way to the United
States, that he is to act only as
an Observer" although he will
be authorized to remind Ameri'
Ian officials, if need be, that the
debts were contracted on a gold
basis.
French Position Clear
Finance Minister Bonnet said:
Experts have never ceased
to proclaim that the principal
cause Of the present crisis is
instability of money.
Zone of the main objects of
the world economic conference
is to find a remedy for this
instability.
From now on the position
of France is very clear. 1t
hopes all countries will return
/ to the gold standard as soon as
possible"

NJ DONALD PENS
QUESTION LIST

LONDON, April % G.N.SD.
When Prime Minister MacDon-
aid began his conversations last
night with President Roosevelt in
Washington, he carried list of
questions, topped by debts and
dwindling international trade, in
the pocket of his Waistcoat, the
correspondent of the London
Daily Mail, who is travelling with
the British statesman, reported
today.
This slip of paper, the Daily
Mail said, was drawn up while
Macdonald was en- route from
England to the United States,
and contains list of all problems
the prime minister intends to dis
cuss with the American President.
In addition to debts and trade,
the correspondent said tariffs
would play an important part in
the conversations but that the
Ottawa empire preferential agree
ments would not be traded on
IN any way.
Macdonald, it was reported, in
tends to speak bluntly to Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the debt ques-
tion and may possibly attempt to
merge this issue into the agenda
for the London World Economic
Conference, seeking at the same
time a moratorium on Britain's
June inStallment to America.

hulk of the airship.
In the breaking in two of the
naval dirigible Shenandoah in
Ohio in 1925, most of the crew
saved their lives by "free bal
looming" in a section of the dis
abled airShip.
There was enough food and
water aboard the Akron for
those aboard a floating section
to live for weeks.
Crew May Be Alive
Referring to the recovery of the
control car and fragments of the
Akron wreckage in water only 100
feet deep by naval divers, Martin
said:
"YOu can't hide the Akron in
100 feet Of water. The most
thorough search Of the Navy
has failed to uncover other
bodies, which strengthens my
theory that the ship may have
arisen after the crash in the
sea and flOated away.
"The ship could have free
ballOOned out Of range Of the
steamer lanes and may have
come to rest even as far away as
Africa. There is even a faint
possibility that some Of the crew
may be found alive"

HOUSE TAKES UP
SHOALS BILL

The Muscle Shoals bill was
taken up in the House today and
assured of passage next week.
Opposition centered on these
major points: Government com.
petition with private fertilizer
and power business, the allegation
that under the powers proposed

ity transmission lines may be
built to parallel existing ones and
destroy a huge investment, and
claims appropriations for the
project eventually would exceed
$1,000. 100000.
Proponents of the measure in.
sisted the Government could not
cancel contracts with private COM
panies for power distribution ex.
cept on a five-year notice, in.
stead of two. as at present. Also,
that the authority is directed to
use existing transmission lines, to
buy them, to acquire them by con-
demnation proceedings if other
means fail, and to construct lines
only as last resort.
Proponents argued that. while

are to be built as quickly as posi-.
BILE. further dam construction for
power purposes is forbidden until
there is a sufficient demand for
power to make it certain a fair
return on investment in new dams

Akron Still Sailing Skies,
Glenn Martins Theory

BALTIMORE, April % QNS0.
There is a faint possibility a
sizeable section of the Inflated
naval airship Akron is still "free
ballooning" somewhere out of
range of the steamer lanes or may
have reached some distant land
with many of its missing crew
alive.
This fantastic suggestion-ad-
mittedly a long-Shot chance-waS
put forward today by Glenn L.
Martin, veteran aeronautical eX-
pert, in an interview with Inter-
national News Service.
Martin is head of the corpora
tion which builds bombing planes
for the United States Army. He
also has had wide experience in
airship construction.
In Support of Theory
Martin supported his theory
with the following facts:
None Of the bodies of the 60
odd missing members of the
crew have been recovered, de-
spite the thorough search of the
ocean vicinity where the dirig-
ible crashed into the sea dur
ing a storm on April 4.

DOLLAR ABROAD.
STACESRALLY

AS France laid plans to raise
the tariffs on American goods to
meet the situation caused by
Americas abandonment of the
gold standard. the dollar rallied
sharply on the worlds money
markets today.
In London, the dollar closed at
$3.8212 to the pound sterling, as
against yesterdays close of $685..
At one time during today's trad
ing, the pound fell to 1912.
In Paris, the dollar opened at
23.40 francs, a sharp increase.
over yesterdays price, and closed
only slightly lower at 1925.
Strength in the dollar was dis
played on all foreign exchange
marktes. In Vienna, the dollar
went to $50 schillings, as against
yesterdays close of $50, while
in Berlin it rallied to 1896 marks,
Yesterdays closing price in Berlin
was 3.84.

INITIATION
TRUCE
Rumor Says Roosevelt Agrees
to Concession in Dispute
Over Gold, Silver

The Mellon-Mills-Reed di-
rected opposition to the Ad-
ministration's currency ex-
pansion bill sought desper-
ately today to prevent Presi-
dent Roosevelt from changing
the gold content Of the dollar
as a move intended to i'm
prove domestic economic con-
ditions.
The little group of conserva-
tive Republicans, led by two for
mer Secretaries of the Treasury,
proposed that the gold section of
the expansion bill be completely
rewritten.
They suggested that Mr.. Roose-
velt be empowered to change
the gold content Of the dollar
only to carry out an interna.
tionaf monetary agreef8 stahil-
izing foreign exchange.
Agreement. RumOred
Rumors spread on Capitol Hill
that the Republicans, with former
Secretary of the Treasury Andrew
w. Mellon as their secret leader,
and former Secretary of the
Treasury Ogden L. Mills as their
active director, had negotiated
an agreement with Mr.. Roosevelt
to accept the modified gold plan.
On the other hand, Admins
tration leaders in the Senate pro-
tested they knew nothing about
such an agreement.
The effect of the change would
be to strip the President of
power to lower the gold content
of the dollar unless England and
France entered into an agreement
fixing the ratio between various
currencies.
The President will seek such an
accord in his present series of
conferences with Prime Minister
Macdonald of Great Britain, and
a little later on with Edouard
Herriot, former premier of France.
Silver Idea Accepted
One argument advanced for the
was that it would pacify
to inclusion of a Sec
ton in the bill authorizing the
President to remonetiZe silver.
