TO SAIL
FOR u. S. |NCOGN|TO
Route, Time Of Arrival and
Members OF Party
Kept Secret.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW. October 23-Foreign Com
missar Maxim Litvinof hopes to travel
incognito to Washington for his con-
versations with President Roosevelt and
will leave Moscow without revealing his
route to America, the time of his ar
rival there or the identity of those who
will accompany him.
This much was indicated by the for
eign office today, where officials fatty
refused to reveal any information OF
Litvinoff's plans in representing Russia
in negotiations looking to possible
American recognition.
And" 1t was added. mo information
will be made public on the subject"
officials denied he already had left.
Discount Propaganda Fears.
II, however, he expects to catch the
liner Manhattan, as originally supposed,
he would have to leave here not later
than the night of October "a, in order
to embark at Hamburg at the time for
sailing, October 26.
Fears in some American quarters
that recognition of Russia would let
down the bars to Communist propa-
ganda are lightly regarded here.
Leaders mention treaties with Eng
land, Japan, France and Italy-in all
of which mutual non-interference with
one another's internal problems is
pledged.
Confident Of Success.
So, it Is argued. this should be one
of the most minor matters when Lit
vinoff sits down with President Roose-
velt at Washington.
Russians are confident the commissar
of foreign affairs will cap a successful
diplomatic year in Europe with Ameri-
can recognition.
This conference is reflected in many
ways-particularly in the rise in value
of the American dollar in local ex-
change

FOR RECOGNITION

to Roosevelt for Soviet
Conversations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The major task Of marshalling the
material for the recognition conversa-
tions between President Roosevelt and
Maxim Litvinoff. Soviet foreign affairs
commissar. today was assigned to j.
Walton Moore, Assistant Secretary Of
State and former member Of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee
Secretary of State Hull said Moore
would be assisted by William c. Bullitt,
assistant to the Secretary of State He
indicated Robert Kelley. chief Of the
State Departments division Of Eastern
European affairs, also would lend q
hand
Hull himself probably will be absent
from the United States during most, If
not all, of Litvinoff's visit. He said to-
day he was contemplating good will
trip along the western coast Of South
America, upon which he might sail as
early as November S.
Much of the data to be brought forth
in the Litvinoff Roosevelt conversations
already has been prepared by the State
Commerce and Agriculture Departments
and probably will be arranged for SUBJ
mission to the President for study this
week
1t has been indicated that the talks
with the Soviet leader will bear more
heavily upon trade relations than upon
the claims and counter claims that have
existed between the two countries
during the 16-year period Of non-recog-
milton. Trade possibilities up to the
half-billion mark have been forecast in
the event of Russian recognition.
Russian recognition has eclipsed dis
armament, Cuba, British war debt dis
cussions and preparations for the pam
American conference as subjects for dis
cussion in official Washington.
1t ranks with the domestic recovery
plan as major subject of conversation
Prospective Russian trade Is viewed q
promising stimulation to the cotton
pork products. copper and machinery
business in this country.
Electrical and agricultural implemen,
stocks Immediately were influenced by
the announcement Of the conversations

BANK LIQUIDATION
PROGRAM OUTLINED
Board Asserts Aim Is to Give
Depositors Money With
out Delay.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Deposit Liquidation Board yes
terday addressed letters to the COVER
nors of the Federal Reserve Banks as
serting its primary purpose to place
money in the hands of depositors with
the least possible delay and outlining
procedure to be followed:
The II governors are to serve as
chairmen Of special Advisory and Ap-
praisal Committees for their particular
Federal Reserve districts.
TT is contemplated" said the letter,
that the district chairmen will ap-
point local Appraisal Committees COM
posed Of experienced bankers, business
men and farmers throughout their dis
tricts, to be located where they can
most efficiently and expeditiously con-
tact the closed banks in their respec-
tive communities.
These committees will be fully
qualified to intelligently and con-
structively appraise local securities in
closed banks, having in mind the con-
ditions prevailing in the community
and the formula of a sound and fair
valuation Of assets based on an orderly
LIQUIDATION over a period of years.
These local committees will receive
from their district chairman for initial
attention the latest appraisals by the
receiver, liquidator, national examiners,
State examiners or the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation examiners, as may
pertain to the cases before them.
I'm those cases where the appraisal
reports of the supervisory authority or
receiver are not sufficiently current, or,
in your opinion, do not reflect a fair
valuation based on an orderly liquida-
tion over a period of years, you will
necessarily have new appraisal made
OF the assets.
1T is earnestly desired that you do
what you can to impress upon the
State superintendent or commissioners
of banks the Importance of having
their representatives, receivers and
liquidators in closed banks apply to
your local committees for loans in
order that there may be made avail
able to depositors promptly the maxi
mum amount of their deposits that
may be released to them on fair valu-
alton of assets based on an orderly
liquidation over period of years"
The letter went on to say that appli-
cation blanks were being dispatched for
the use of receivers or others in charge
of closed State banks for use in re-
QueSting loans

question.
Winnipeg Market Pegged.
"Winnipeg's grain market was put on
peg this morning" Wallace told
newspaper men. That may influence

The minimum prices based on closing
prices OF July 80 have been in effect for
several weeks. Wallace denied reports
the minimums were ordered into effect
by the Department of Agriculture.
I'VE did not cause them to be put

merely asked If We had any objections.
We didn't"
Wallace said that if prices Of wheat
in cash trading and futures trading
should separate. he considered the
futures market would then be reduced to
"a mere absurdity"
Some Longs Liquidate.
"Outsiders. not people in the depart
ment, have characterized the market
just as q 'hedger's corner" Wallace
said.
There is apparently very little of a
short speculative interest. Some longs
apparently have liquidated, but in many
respects the situation now provided by
the market is something that appar-
emily has never happened before"
Wallace then produced chart show
ing that the price of wheat increased
more rapidly then, but with a definite
relationship to the fall in the value Of
the dollar in international exchange,
with wheat prices falling after f1uctua-
tions in quotations for the dollar mar

there was no evidence of q criminal
