EAST TEXAS OIL
CUT TO so CENTS
Long-Expected Break in Crude
Comes, in Spite of Fed
eral Fight.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TULSA, Okla, October ga
long-expected break in the price of
crude oil came today as the Atlas
Pipe Line Co. of Shreveport, La, an
affiliate of the Spartan Refining Co.,
cut East Texas petroleum from 81
to 60 cents a barrel.
The price break was the first in
- months, the longest period the
midcontinent ever has seen without
an official change. Considerable hot"
oil has been selling at 80 to so cents
a barrel, however.
When the Atlas announcement was
made, the big guns Of the petroleum
administration were being concen-
trated in East Texas in an effort to
halt the movement Of ''hot" oil and
attempt to forestall a crude cut.
No one appeared surprised at the
posting of lower price Speculation
here centered on whether the larger
companies will follow the lead of his
comparatively small purchaser. The
present midcontinent scales are con-
sidered far out of line with depressed
refinery prices.
The flow from East Texas Of oil
produced by excess of legal limits
and the failure of the administration
to cope with the few but persistent
violetors there, was given universal
blame for unsettled conditions.

the controversy.
Meanwhile, trial of State charges of

SALT LAKE CITY, october 23.-
The Union Pacific Railways stream
line Pullman train, which left Los
Angeles at 10 O'Clock last night in an
attempted 60-hour run to New York
City, passed Caliente, New, at 7:59
am. (mountain standard time), today.
It was on 5 ,dule.
Establishment of a regular 60-hour
transcontinental schedule, which
would mark the beginning of a new
era of speed in railroad transporta-
tion, was the goal.
Union Pacific Railway officials en-
phasized the breaking of the present
transcontinental record of II hours
and % minutes between San Fran
cisco and New York was not so much
the objective as was the establishment
of a routine schedule that would bring
the two coasts virtually 18 hours closer
togther than is the case now in nor

CRIME IN CAPITAL
HELD DD|SGRACEFUL
Church Group Urges Confer
enCe in Letter to Judges
and Officials.

Describing crime conditions in
Washington as extremely serious"
and little less than disgraceful in a
city which is the Capital of the Ma
tion," the Committee on Civic Affairs
of the Washington Federation of
Churches today urged a conference
of officials to consider the various
phases Of the problem.
Gambling, the numbers racket, i'm
moral solicitation, drunkenness and
housebreaking were dealt with in a
summary of the views of the COM
today by Wilbur La Roe, jr, chair
man, addressed to members of Con-
gress, judges, prosecutors and other
District officials.
Expressing doubt whether some of
the sentences imposed for criminal
offenses are adequate, the letter added
this 'is not altogether the fault of
the judges, because under the present
parole law in the District the pris-
oner must be eligible for parole at
the end of one-fifth of the statutory
maximum term" Attention was called
to Federal laws outside the District
fixing one-third of the term as the
time for parole eligibility.
The letter also declared that mo
ton pictures of the wrong type are
an incentive to crime"
Summing up the various problems
covered by the letter, the committee
stated it was writing, not for the
purpose of criticizing, but in the
hope of bringing about concerted
efforts to strengthen the laws and
their enforcement.
Taking up gambling first, the letter
asserted that "so-called 'big-shot
gamblers are and have been for some
time operating in this city on large
scale" The letter added that in
spite of commendable efforts by the
police department, wholesale gamb-
ling operations are still going on"
The numbers game was described
in the letter as being rampant
throughout the CITY,"
With regard to immoral solicitation,
the letter suggested that the maximum
fine of $25, with no provision for jail
sentence, Is not sufficient deterrent.
Declaring arrests for intoxication
are almost double what they were
two years ago, the church committee
pointed out the number of such ar
rests is approximately 70 a day.
Drunken driving also was described
as on the increase.
Calling attention to 1900 arrests
for housebreaking in the last calendar
year, the letter said the number of
arrests '.is a credit to the police,
but the danger is still present"
The letter also declared: THAT
motion pictures of the wrong type are
an incentive to crime is beyond ques-
tion. Under the splendid leadership
of the Legion Of Decency the Catholic,
Protestant and Jewish groups in the
District are cooperating to improve
conditions, but with little. If any. CO.

PICCARDS LEAVE DETROIT.

DETROIT, october 20 (P).-On the
trail Of the mysterious cosmic rays,
Dr. Jean and Mrs. jeanette Picard
had surmounted the first hazard of
their stratospheric balloon flight by
drifting safely across Lake Erie this
morning and were reported over Nor
walk, Ohio, at 1918 am.
That report was received by an
amateur radio operator in Detroit
who said he had picked up Mrs. Pic
cards signals from the portable short
wave set in the gondola of the huge
balloon. Mrs Picard said she thought
the balloon was over Norwalk.
Mrs. Picard was quoted as saying
they were heading toward the strato-
sphere, but no altitude was given.
Screened by Clouds.
The Piccards' light metal gondola
dangled from a huge gas bag as tall
as a large Office building. but low
hanging clouds screened even such
gigantic object from the view of per-
sons on the ground.
They took off from Ford Airport at
6:58 am, the gondola barely clearing
a clump of trees as Mrs. Piccard-the
only licensed woman balloon pilot in
the United States-hastily dumped so
pounds of lead ballast to clear the OBJ
stacles that might have ended the
flight disastrously within the view of
$4,000 spectators.
Forty minutes later the operator of
a short-wave receiving set near the
airport received from Mrs. Picard a
message saying they we're a mile and
a half in the air and that everything
is going we'll"
The wind was expected to drive the
huge craft and its human cargo in
the general direction of Pittsburgh,
Washington and Richmond. Va
The intrepid balloonists, whose theo-
retical knowledge Of aeronauticS was
gained largely from DR.. Piccard's twin
brother, Prof. Auguste Picard, first
man to pierce the stratosphere in a
sealed gondola. expected to be aloft
about II hours.

D0NAHEY VICTORY
OVERFESSLOOMS
Refuses to Debate New

by Incumbent.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,
STAFF Correspondent of The Star.

COLUMBUS, Ohio october 23-
Honest Vic" Donahey, three-time
Democratic Governor Of Ohio, has
come out of political retirement this
year to run for the Senate against
Senator Simeon D. Fess, veteran Re-
publican and strongly anti-New Deal.
Donahey, not wanted by the New Deal
Democrats, but who has been accept
ed by the national Democratic Or
ganization, has declined to debate the
virtues of the New Deal with Senator
FeSs.
I'm going to debate with nobody, "
was Donaheys statement when efforts
were made by the Republicans to ar
range for series of joint debates be-
tween the two.
IT don't know how to debate, and
any debating do will be done on the
floor of the Senate in behalf Of the
voters" -
Refuses to Be Tempted.
So Honest VIC" as he is known
from one end of the State to the ether,
has gone his way during this cam
paign making practically no speeches
and refusing to be tempted by his ad-
versary. AS a matter of fact there are
lot of Democrats and Republicans
IN the State who believe that Donahey
has little or no use for the New Deal.
He made his reputation for honesty
first as auditor of the State, when he
declined to sanction some of the ex-
pense accounts of Government officials
when they came before him. One cele-
brated occasion was when he turned
down a 35-cent item on the expense
account of judge for an Idaho baked
potato.
ANY one ought to be able to buy a
baked potato for 10 cents" was Dona-
hey's comment. He kept expenses
down as auditor and later when he
became Governor he kept appropria-
tions to the lowest possible limit. None
of this antipathy of Donahey's fits
into the New Deal program of vast
expenditures of public funds.

SCOTT AND BLACK
WIN PLANE RACE

MELBOURNE, Australia, October
"a, Wednesdsy-Two Englishmen
Charles w. A. Scott, 81, and Tom
Campbell Black, IS. won the s5O,00C
speed race from England to Mel
bourne yesterday. but their closest
competitors, Dutch team in an
American plane, won a fight for their
lives early today.
The flying Dutchmen, K. D. Par
mentier and J. J. Moll, with hve other
persons in the big Douglas transport
plane, were hours ahead of their near
est rivals, Col. Roscoe Turner and
Clyde Pangborn. at midnight.
Besides Parmentier and Moll, the
plane carries Tnea Rasche, the well
known German sportswoman; P. M
Gillizzen, r. ]. Dominic Of Brazil, a
radio operator, and another crew
member
Wander in Rainstorm.
The plane became lost in transforms
which were sweeping over the high
uplands north Of the Australian Alps
Anguished Australians, on the
ground, saw flares dropping from the
great ship through the sodden skies
as the pilots wandc- ] in circles, try
ing to get their bearings.
Melbourne received an S o S wire
less message from the plane. No one
could go out to the rescue, but q
stream of radio messages was sen.
up in an effort to help the distressed
flyers.
Then came the news that Parmen-
tier and Moll had landed safely al
Albury, about 200 miles northeast oi
the finish line. With the speed Of
their ship, they were only an houl
from the home port.
A small district radio station was
given much of the credit for assist
ing the Dutchmen to the safe land
ing. The station broadcast an appeal
to all farmers to go out and illuminate
the race-course direction with their
automobile headlights
They responded quickly, and soon
Parmentier and Moll found a lighted
area beneath them. Parmentier set
the ship down skillfully III a small
space.
Plane Undamaged.
The plane was not damaged in any
way, but it was understood that the
flyers intended to remain at Albury
until daylight.
This made it appear unlikely that
Turner and Pangborn had any chance
Of overtaking the Dutch and finish

The Picard stratosphere balloon
was reported to have made a land
ing about one mile west of here.
The reported landing place was an
isolated section.
BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, October 23.-Like the
shining head Of pin against a clear
blue sky the strathosphere balloon of
the Jean Piccards drifted slowly south
southeast over the edge of Cleveland
Airport at noon today at an unesti-
mated height.
An overcast sky and low visibility
prevented ground watchers from see
ing the sphere, but two United Air
Line pilots, who nosed up to 14,000
feet. reported the sight to the COM
pany's radio operator in a radio
telephone conversation.
Though the Piccards, locked inside
their alright gondola, appeared to
be drifting south-southeast. Pilot Lou
Gravis said in talk with Henry Gar
rison, the operator on the ground,
that the bag might be heading in the
general direction OF Akron, some 80
miles directly south of here.
Flyers Up 1900 Feet.
At $4,000 feet, said Gravis, he and
his co-pilot, Paul Reeder, scarcely
could make out the craft against the
sky. AT $4,000 feet they got q little
better view of it.
GraviS would venture no estimate
of the speed at which the bag was
travelling and would not guess at its
height.
I'VE are flying at $4,000 feet, Just
southeast of Cleveland Airport, :"
Gravis told Garrison. we can see
the stratosphere balloon very high
above us. The sun is shining. No
clouds over the overcast.
The balloon is very clear-white
against blue sky; 1t seems to be
drifting toward Akron"
How high was it?" Garrison was
asked.
II asked Gravis that" responded
Garrison, "and he wouldn't attempt
to make an estimate"
Its speed?"
THAT would be almost impossible
for the pilots to Judge, considering
their own speed in their plane"
First Seen Near Sandusky.
This report on the bag was the first
that had been received since it was
seen drifting by another pilot in the
vicinity of Sandusky, some SIS miles in
direct airline west of Cleveland That
the bag had shifted in the direction
OF Akron would indicate that it had
altered its course abruptly, practically
at right angles. The Sandusky report
was received at about 10 am. CE. STD.
Judging roughly by that, the speed
Of the balloon could be placed at about
Is miles an hour.
No radio reports of contact with the
balloon had been received in this vi
cinity.
