at brief intervals, the last rising
from the sheltered water 18 min
utes after the leader.
Radio Reports Speed
The intrepid fliers had not been
gone long on their great adven-
ture, the first formation flight
across the north Atlantic ever at
tempted, when reports were re-
ceived here telling of their fast
progress.
The first radio message from
General Balbo's plane reached
here at $50 a. m, while the
armada was flying over the 1igu-
rian Sea.
General Balbo during the first
few hours continued to radio his
position every 5 or 10 minutes
to the Orbetello base, which had
just sent him favorable weather
reports.
The armada flew over Genoa,
where crowds gathered in the
streets and cheered. Later they
we're sighted at Milan, headed to-
ward the Alps, which they cross
ed successfully at about 8:45 a. m.
When the seaplanes passed
over the royal summer villa at
San Rossore near Pisa, General
Balbo sent a radio message Of
salute to the italian royal family.
Long Delayed by Weather
The take-off from OrbeteIo
capped a long series of delays
owing to bad weather, which kept
the fliers waiting a month after
prep, -ations were complete.
General Balbo called the pilots
together and assembled them in
front of the flag at the air base.
All the airmen were in flying
kit and underwent a rigorous in
spection. Then the ceremony Of
saluting the flag was carried out
while motion picture cameras
clicked.

squadron would remain at Amster-

Balbo'S expedition covered the
870 miles from Orbetello, Italy, to
Amsterdam in a little over seven
hours.
A fair proportion of the popula-
ton of Amsterdam crowded the
dykes along the Zuide Zee to well
come the craft. The harbor had
been cleared of all shipping in the
vicinity of the airport at Schel-
lingwoude to give the formation

Approval Expected Today for
Statement Aimed to Curb

By GEORGE r. HOLMES

GEOLOGICAL MUSEUM. LON
DON, July l d.N.SJ.-The World
Economic Conferenc today
waited on President Roosevelt
just as it did in the middle of
June, when the Anglo-American
debt adjustment instead of the
currency question was the vital
issue holding up international
deliberations.
Complete agreement has been
reached between the gold bloc,
Great Britain. and Assistant Sec
retary of State Raymond Moley
for a declaration designed to end
violent exchange fluctuations and
keep France and her gold allies
in the conference despite Ameri-
can opposition to de facto stabili-
Zation.
o. X. to End Deadlock
The powers are still deadlocked,
to all intentS and purposes, how
ever, until President Roosevelt
gives the text Of the declaration
his formal approval.
With the conference still at a
standstill, Moley called on his
Chief" Secretary Of State Hull
and the other American delegates
and told them he still hopes to
get a reply from President Roose-
welt today.
Delegates Of other nations
meanwhile, moped in their hotel
quarters, many expressing the
wish the conference, would soon
be finished, whether or not the
United States agrees to the cur
rency proposals.
Prime Minister Macdonald went
off to Chequers early in the
morning, but remained in. close
touch with his official residence,
10 Downing Street.

governments remained subject to

CAMPOBELLO ISLAND, New
Brunswick, July l QNSO.-New
assurances that no currency sta
bilization has been reached at the
World Economic Conference in
London were given here today by
President Roosevelt.
The Executive indicated the
American stand today is just as
1t had been outlined. This cour-
try'S position is that immediate
and temporary steps toward any
Stabilization should be handled
by the nations central banks.
Whatever the nations of the
world can do in the way of build
ing a permanent sound monetary
basis must of necessity be a
matter of considerable time and
careful planning.
ENJOYS in Communication
Mr.. Roosevelt was in commune
cation with the American delega-
tion at London last night. Also,
a direct telephone line between
the Presidents summer camp here
and Washington was kept hum
ming last night.
Whether the communication be-
tween the President and his
American delegation abroad was

The President enjoyed an auto
mobile ride about the island this
afternoon. going by all the old
spots he knew so we'll in boyhood.
Out in the harbor the Navy'S new
cruiser indianapolis loomed, ready
to start south on a speed test with
Mr.. Roosevelt aboard later in the
day.
Mr.. Roosevelt was to go aboard
the cruiser late this afternoon.
The destroyer Ellis. one of the
two which conveyed him here
while he was cruising up the
New England coast in the
schooner Amberjack II. was to
come to the Campobello dock and
take the President to the In
dianapolis.

dent will be his son, Franklin, jr.:
his secretary, Louis McHenry
Howe; Henry Morgenthau. jr.,
Farm Credit Administration head,
and Drexel Paul, friend of
young Franklin.
A slight change in the itinerary
south was announced today. The
Indianapolis will carry the preSi-
Dental party to Annapolis, Md,
arriving probably Monday night.
The Executive planned to remain
aboard over the Fourth of July,
and return to Washington by
motor either late that afternoon
or the morning of Wednesday.
Fair weather and a brisk wind,
which swept away heavy fog
that threatened, made certain
President RooSevelt's departure.
So far as possible. the eXecu-
tive left business and care strictly
alone while he cruised up the
New England coast to this tiny
Canadian Island.
Currency stabilization and for
eign problems were the only mat
ters to which Mr.. Roosevelt was
impelled to give any considerable
attention while vacationing.

Carrying voluntary wage con-
cesSions from the textile manu-
facturers OF the country. and with
many epochal departures for in
dustry as a whole, the national
code of the textile industry today
was before Huge S. johnson, ma.
tional recovery administrator. for
such revision as he and his aides
may decide upon before speeding
it on to President Roosevelt.
The code was amended at the
final hearing by increasing the
wage to a minimum Of $12 for
Southern workers and $13 for
Northern mills. with definite abo-
lition of child labor.
The 40-hour week. johnson was
told, would be essential to the
industry because a shorter week
would make 1t difficult to obtain
sufficient trained operatives.
100000 New Workers
Approximately 100000 workers,
above the total engaged in textiles
in 1929, will be absorbed into the
industry through the 40-hour
week. it was promised.
Because of the untold possibili-
ties toward economic improvement
throughout the South, expected to
result from this increased wage
scale and tremendous squirt in en-
ployment, with its effect on other
industries now dependent on i'm
proved buying power, johnson is
eager to put the code in operation
at the earliest practicable date.
He returned today from New
York, where he went late yester-
day by plane. He expects to
spend this weekend getting his
recommendations ready for the
President.
To Represent Consumers
Meantime, he is awaiting pres
entation of the coal operators
agreement, slated to be ready next
Wednesday, and he was informed
that four other basic industrial
codes are about ready. These in
c)ude the steel industry's agree
ment.
Malcolm Muir, publicist and in
dustrial authority, is expected to
be nominated, at JohnSon's re-
quest, as deputy administrator.
johnson also asked appointment
by the President of Prof. Alonzo
E. Taylor. of Stanford University,
and Lucius r. Eastman, president
of Hills Brothers, as members of
the consumers advisory board.
Other industries approaching
the administrator for approval of
a code will find an air-tight ar
rangement, johnson said, which
will put each industry under one
code. This code, however. must
meet with the approval Of john
son and George Peek, agricultural
administrator.
