Miles Per Hour.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, July 3.-Fighting for
$1,000 in cash prizes, racing pilots at
the National Air Races here take to
the skies today IN what probably will
prove to be the swiftest display of flying
In the history of the aerial classic.
Chief among the events on the days
program will be the contest over q s.
kilometer straightaway course, aimed
at establishing new world speed record
for land planes. Maj. James H. Doo-
little set the present record Of 294 miles
per hour at the races In Cleveland last
year.
Sideline observers were confident at
least one plane, the high-powered ship
Of Col Roscoe Turner, winner Of this
wears transcontinental speed dash from
New York, in which he set new rec
ord Of IL hours 80 minutes, would crack
300 miles an hour long the objective
OF airplane engineers.
Hopes for $40 Miles Per Hour.
"She should do $40 miles an hour"
Turner said.
Competing against Turner will be his
old rival, Jimmie Wedel the New
Orleans ace and builder of Turner'S
ship. He had hoped to bring here q
plane in which he was flown at $50
miles per hour, in unof1cial tests. but
in ferrying the craft to New York for
the cross-country race, in which he
took second place, trouble developed at
Atlanta and he was forced to return
to Louisiana and get another ship.
The plane he will use today is the
same in which he few in the transcon-
tinental race.
Gordon Israel Of st. Louis is another
entrant, although his ship will be con-
siderably slower than those Of Turner
and Wedell. There are five prizes to
be awarded out Of the $2,500 purse.
Turner Big Money Winner.
At nightfan yesterday, Turner still
was the big money winner of the races,
having pulled down $5,050 in the cross
country event.
Wedell had swelled his bank account
by $3,375, taking $2,250 in the New
York-Los Angeles dash and SLIPS in

hard luck on their transcontinental
trips for a dozen flyers, was forced to
land yesterday at Wichita by motor
trouble. She was expected at the Num-
cipal Airport late today.
Miss Earhart landed here yesterday
after spending Saturday night In
Wichita.

Commodities Also Rise, With
Further Decline in Amer
lean Currency.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 3-Speculative
markets, particularly stocks and wheat,
scared today as the dollar dropped.
President Roosevelt's emphatic mo"
to European overtures for sterilization
was accompanied by heavy buying on
the country's two major exchanges
the New York Stock Exchange and the
Chicago Board of Trade. American
currency tumbled heavily being quoted
at new lows in terms OF European
monies.
In a turnover of approximately T.
00O, 900 shares. stocks whirled up 81 to
more than So. Wheat, in an early clos
ing at Chicago, finished with gains OF
3S to ~ cents bushel. Other grains
were strong, too. although their ad-
vances were smaller.
Buying Orders Heavy.
With the President giving precedence
to his domestic price raising program,
traders dumped huge purchasing orders
into the markets. The advance gained
enormous momentum, particularly on
the Stock Exchange, where the quota
distributing machinery was &C.
verely taxed.
Heavy dollar depreciation brought q
quotation Of $446 for the British pound
sterling, q maximum gain of more than
IL cents, which was later reduced, al
though the rate remained well above
Saturdays final figure. French francs,
Swiss francs, the belga and Dutch guild
ers rose buoyantly, the last-named get
ting nearly cents higher.
Rail shares doomed, closely followed
by steels, chemicals, farm equipments
and other industrials. Utilities were
somewhat quieter.
In important banking circles here,
the Presidents note to the London Eco
nomic Conference was well received.

On the stock market United States
Steel preferred crossed par, or 500
share, for the first time since early
1882, while New York Central tipped
above $50.
Cotton, after an early rise Of about
50 a bale to new highs, closed with net
gains of IS cents to $1.15.
The advance in shares meant new

COMMOD|TYDO[[A
SEEN BY PAR[EY
Roosevelt Statement Held as
Making Silver Position
Now UntenabIe.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 3.-The American
delegation interpreted President Roose-
velt's declaration today on gold as max
ing the Pittman resolution, calling fol
return to the gold standard with the
part optional use Of silver, now un.
tenable and was reliably reported to be
considering a substitute for this measure
A number of members Of the Amer.
ican group interpreted the Presidents
statement, that the United States seeks
kind OF dollar which q generation
hence will have the same purchasing
and debt-paying power as the dollar
value we hope to attain in the neal
future" as q nat declaration Of COM
modify or compensated dollar, along the
general lines advocated by Prof. Irving
Fisher.
Pittman's Resolution.
The Pittman resolution said "gold
should be re-established as an inter-
national measure of exchange values,
but proposed alterations in the use o1
the yellow metal-namely, reduction Of
the minimum central bank reserves
from the usual 40 per cent to Is pei
cent and the optional use of one-third
silver In the place Of gold.
In the light Of the new statement
from the American President, however
important delegation quarters felt this
formula to be too rigid and believed
that a new declaration was necessary.
The delegation was not yet clear,
however, whether President Roosevelt
favored varying the number Of grains
Of gold in the dollar as necessary to
f1atten out fluctuations in the whole
sale price index, along the lines Of the
Fisher plan, or some other program.
If the Interpretation in important
American quarters here Of the Presi-
dents statement is correct, 1t would
mean that for the first time major
country had entered definitely upon q
managed currency with the avowed OBJ
jective Of keeping the price level stable
Great Britain has kept more or less
MANAGEMENT since leaving the gold
standard nearly two years ago, but has
not committed herself to such a pro-
gram, announcing rather her inten-
ton to return eventually to the gold
standard.
Sweden, however, has been definitely
experimenting with a managed cur
rency along the lines of altering its
value from time to time to check ad-
vances or declines in the price index.
Merely Pegs Currency.
Since Sweden went of gold, and
having a relatively small currency, she
has been able to achieve this end by
merely pegging her currency with the
French franc and other gold currencies
and from time to time changing the
ratio, thus giving the effect of a chang
ing gold content.
Prof. Gustave Cassel, famed Swedish
economist and advocate of a managed
currency, feels that the experiment has
been a success to date, but acknowledges
the inability Of all countries to work In
the same way, since there must be
something against which to peg the
currency.

LONDON, July 3.-Come what
may, Americans at the World
Economic Conference believe
there must be no international
agreement which might hamper
recovery at home.
This was the first point Of q
tentative statement Secretary of
State Cordell Hull had drawn up
today in reply to a gold bloc de-
mand for stability in the inter-
national monetary field.
It was echoed by other Ameri-
cans, one Of whom asserted that
President Roosevelt's refusal to
accede to a declaration Of the
European gold standard nations,
led by France, lends the tinkering
here with American currency"
Another, Senator James M.
Couzens, in a speech maintained
that the American people could
rest assured the delegation would
permit nothing that would i'm
pede the domestic price-raising
program.

SOVIET DEAL ST|RS
RECOGNITION TALK
Roosevelt Advisers Desire
for Such Action Is
Being Cited.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSs-
The Roosevelt administrator first
attempt to tap the great Soviet Russian
market intensified talk today about
whether more friendly relations might
lead to American recognition Of the
land Of communism. =
There were no official indications that
that was In the offing. But the inter-
ested reminded that while the President
never has spoken publicly on the sub
ject he has a number of close advisors
who strongly urge recognition.
The transaction between the United
States and the U. S. s. r. was just about
as direct as it could be between two
nations without diplomatic connections.
Loans Authorized.
First, the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration authorized series of loans
said unomcially to total around $4,000,-
000-to American exporters. The money
will be used to buy $4,000 to 10000
bales Of American cotton for shipment
to Russia.
But the rest Of the story is that the
loans will be secured by notes Of the
Amtorg Trading Co. and uncondition-
ally guaranteed by the State Bank of
the Soviet. Amtorg is owned by the
U. s. q. r. and was organized by the
new Russia to carry on its business in q
country where 1t had no official stand
ing.
These loans will be for one year and,
like the $50,000,000 advanced to China
by the Reconstruction Corporation for
the purchase of wheat and cotton. will
bear per cent interest. Some cotton,
said the announcement by Chairman
Jesse Jones of the corporation, likely
will be shipped in July.
When 1t is shipped, Amtorg will put
down in cash 80 per cent of the pur-
chase price. Whether the purchase
price will be the market price on the
day of delivery was not included in the
first announcement.
More Aid Expected.
1t also was stated by reliable sources
that further loans were being consid-
cred to finance expectation OF other
commodities to Russia. Wheat was
mentioned, although the Soviet is one
of the worlds biggest wheat producers.
Particular significance was attached
here to the fact that the deal was an
nounced after Raymond Moley, Assist
ant Secretary OF State and No. l man
of the famed brain trust" had talked
at London with Maxim Litvinoff, So
Wet foreign commissar.
Moley arrived in London only . few
days ago with fresh instructions for
the American Economic Conference
delegation from their President. Before
Moley left the United States Litvinof
was reported to be negotiating for credit
with other nations to buy machinery.
Also injected into the talk about
recognition possibilities were reminders
that Preddent Roosevelt, ignoring pre-
cedent, recently had addressed . num-
her Of o61cial notes G yRussia.
