LONDON. July 20.-(UP).--
Failure of negotiations for final
worldwide agreement to regulate
production and marketing of
wheat before adjournment of the
world economic conference be-
came virtually a certainty last
night, although it was believed
negotiations might be resumed at
Geneva in September.
Prospects for an agreement
were dashed after nine importing
nations of Europe unanimously
adopted a proposal, for submis-
sion today, which the big four
America. Canada, Australia and
Argentina-were understood to
consider unacceptable in its pres
ent form.
The importers. who had been
urged to agree to lower tariffs,
merely offered "to encourage
acreage increase" rather than
pledging an acreage standstilI.
They also made lower tariffs de-
pendent on increased world con-
sumption.
Delegates appeared to be la
boring with more success toward
an accord to check fluctuatiou Of
silver prices.
Two other important negotla-
tons, involving coffee and sugar.
appeared to be without hope Of
positive results.
The American delegates block
ed an attempt to include the
wheat negotiations in the confer
ence work at the moment an in
ternational agreement seemed to
be at hand. For days Prime Min
lister J. Ramsey Macdonald of
Britain, had worked to bring the
wheat talks into the conference
because a wheat agreement prom
Uses to be the only tangible
achievement. The negotiations
have not been a regular part of
the conference.

Sir Walter Layton. international

ted Press today that the first
session of the world economic
conferences had been more sue
cessful in establishing points of
difference between policies OF
different nations than in working
ont an agreed basis of co-opera'
ton between them.
He expressed the belief that
the conferees will meet again
with better hope of success. Fail
ure, he said, was an accident of

because of the impossibility OF
stabilizing currency, co-opera.

New York, July 20. (UP).-A
furious selling drive hammered
cotton downward today to losses
Of Sd to S. per bale.
The trading ring on cotton. the
exchange floor was in tumult as
Wall Street operators and ware
houses dumped large blocks of cot
ton.
Violent fluctuations in grain
prices were brought about by fear
of government intervention in
speculative markets and the state
ment by General Hugh Johnson on
"distortion" of prices contributed
to the break.
Another drive against wet"
stocks sent that group down from

trading. On the stock exchange
the whole market sold off after
early firmness.

CHITA, U. S. S. f., July 90
(UP). - Wiley Post, dashing
around the world for a new speed
record, narrowly escaped death
Wednesday when his big mono
plane scraped the tree tops in a
forced landing at the town Of
Rukhlovo, on the Manchurian bor-
der.
The American fier, who had
overcome many dangers to put
himself few hours ahead of the
Post-Gatty globe-circling record,
needed all of his nerve and skill
to bring the Winnie Mae down
safely at 1882 p. m. Moscow time
(7:32 a. m. EDT) on a rough field
at Rukhlov, 800 miles east Of
Irkutsk. Post left Irkutsk yester-
day morning for Blagoveshchensk.
The plane had fought heavy
rains along the route from Irk-
utsk end Post was almost exhaust
ed when he was forced down 285
miles short of his immediate goal.
He shot the Winnie Mae down
over the trees, apparently mis-
Judged the distance and plunged
the craft through the uppermost
branches.
The underside of the fuselage
was badly scratched by the limbs,
but Post quickly righted the plane
and landed without serious dam
age. He was extremely tired but
said he would proceed to Khaba-
rovsk, about $50 miles eastward,
early Thursday.
Meanwhile, some 1900 miles
further along the route to Alaska.
at Anadyr, James Mattern pre-
pared to resume his globe-circling
journey with the aid of a daring
pilot who risked his life
to assist the unfortunate Ameri-
can aviator. Matterr and his Rus
sian rescuer. Pilot Levanevsky,
hoped to leave Anadry at dawn
Thursday for Alaska.
Upon landing at Rukhlovo, Post
had covered total of 8,170 miles
in SO hours, % minutes out of
New York. When he left Irkutsk
he was three hours ahead of the
Post Gatty record. and about the
same when he landed at Rukhlovo,
although comparison of times at
Rukhlovo was made difficult by
the fact that Post and Harold Cat
ty did not stop there. The time
of departure of Post eastward
will show his comparison as every
hour he spends on the ground
throws him further behind.
Post was sighted at Verkhneu-
dinsk soon after leaving Irkutsk
at 7 a. m. Moscow time, IL a. m.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. February 4.-The Her.
ald-Tribune prints the following dis
patch from Washington:
William Green. president Of the
American Federation of Labor, today
became the outstanding candidate for
Secretary of Labor in Washington
speculation over the Roosevelt cabinet.
In usually We'll informed quarters it was
asserted confidently that he would re-
ceive that appointment and, almost as
confidently. that Jesse I. Straus OF New
York would be Secretary of Commerce.
Tob:n Green's Choice.
Selection of Mr.. Green would mean
that he had been chosen over his own
candidate for the Labor secretaryShip,
Daniel J. Tobin. head of the Internl-
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters, Chaut-
feurs. Stablemen and Helpers. on whose
behalf he made special trip last month
to confer with President-elect RooSe-
welt. 1t would confirm also the view
which Washington has held for some
time that Miss Frances Perkins, New
York State industrial commissioner
whom, Mr.. Roosevelt was understood at
one time to have perferred, would not
get the appointment.
Opposition to Doak.
The swift rise of Mr.. Green's name in
the speculation today served to recall
his vehement objections to the present
Secretary of Labor William N. Doak,
when President Hoover went outside the
American Federation of Labor in ap-
pointing him successor to James j
Davis, now Senator from Pennsylvania
Mr.. Doak had been the legislative rep
resentative here of the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen.
The Federation officials, it was under
stood. had the same objection to Miss
Perkins and. in addition, were said to
be ready to resist the appointment of a
scciologist instead of a veteran Of the
organized labor movement.

Cash Surplus Required.
The cash surplus to the credit Of the

Of the act Of June 40, 1922. which was
the act fixing the 60-40 basis Of ap-
propriating funds for the support Of the
District government. (Sixty per cent
40 per cent by the Federal Govern
ment.) since 1924 Congress has not
followed the 60-40 provision Of SUBJ
stantive law, but the surplus section
remains.
The Districts experience in building
up surpluses has not been happy. The
last one went for purchase Of the land
for the future construction Of the Mu-
nicipal Center. The land was bought,
but when the depression struck. the
project was temporarily shelved, and
funds that might have been appropri-
ated for continuing its planning and
construction were diverted to unem-
ployment relief. The land cost the

the District has spent the money and
cannot proceed with the buildings.

Quoting actual figures, Commissioner
Luther H. Reichelderfer told the House
committee that real estate tax collec-

the tax on public service corporations,
fell from $4,22l, ,646 to S3,929, ,450 and
