today in their plane. The City OF

Perfect TakeOff
Both had slept Soundly and
breakfasted heartily. They climbed
into the cabin, shook hands with
the airport officials and took over
the controls.
Heading into a mild wind the
big, heavily loaded plane gathered
speed and before the end of the
runway was reached glided into
the air with apparent ease. It
was a perfect take-off.
The flyers circled the field once
gaining altitude and could be

Most enthusiastic among those
at the field was Holgar Hoiriis,
the Danish flyer who had piloted
the plane up from New York. +.
He had checked the City OF

perfect condition before the flight.
Ben AdamoWicz took over the
controls from him and it was he
that guided the plane down the
runway on the take-off. T.
Hoiriis threw his hat in the air
when he saw the wheels leave the
ground. He declared it was one OF
the best. aeronautic performances
he had ever witnessed.
The fliers have gasoline to last
them 40. hours. They expect to
make warsaw in 80 hours. They
had thermos bottles Of hot coffee,
water, and roast chicken in their
luncheon basket in the plane.
AS The City of Warsaw carried
no radio equipment it is not ex-

heard from until they are sighted
over Europe, unless by some
chance a ship should sight them.

AGAINST MIRA
Low PRICES
Code Authorities Announce In
dustrieS Can't Keep High
Pay and Short Hours
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL
International News Service

Protests so widespread that
they amount almost to q threat of
revolt against the MIRA are being
received by code authorities as q
result of the new anti-price-fixing
policy, it was disclosed today.
In some instances code author
tiles, needing protests from mem
Der industries, have adopted vigor-
GUS resolutions Of protests.
The troubled situation is con-
tinuing, despite the efforts Of Re-
covery Administrator Hugh s..
johnson to assure business inter-
ests that MIRA will prevent ruinouS
price slashing.
Applies to Future
The new price policy, it has
been emphasized by MIRA, would
apply only to future codes or in
revision of existing codes. Since
IS per cent of industry is said to
be codified, some MIRA officials
minimize the Importance Of thu
order.
In many codes, however, price
maintenance provisions are tenn
porary, and hearings will be held
soon on code revision. The new
policy would apply in these cases.
Flat declarations have been
made in resolutions adopted by
some code authorities that indus
tries cannot continue to pay
higher wages and grant shorter
hours under the NRA unless mini.
mum prices are fixed.

FREE FOOD PLEA
BY FIRST LADY

Despite rejection Of her pro-
posal for the serving of lunches to
a1nderprivileged school children
during the summer months, Mrs.
Roosevelt today made a further
suggestion to alleviate the suffer
ing of hungry children.
The First Lady recommended
that the 10 nursery schools which
will be operated during the sum-
mer months be used to serve
lunches under supervision of the
teachers detailed to the nursery
schools.
Food could be prepared at the
central kitchen, Mrs. Roosevelt
said, and sent to the schools. This,
she said, would relieve the school
system of the responsibility of op-
Grating other school buildings for
this purpose. The original school
lunch proposal was turned down
because of the shortage Of funds.

BY KINGSBURY SMITH
International News Service

Having sharply criticized the
national policies of Chancellor
Adolf Hitler Of Germany in their
relation to suspension Of foreign
debt payments, Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull today prepared
to deliver another verbal flashing
to the other European debtor
nations who have decided to stop
payments on the 10000 million
dollars owed American taxpayers.
Reused by the action of the
European debtor nations in alb
ruptly terminating further pay
ments on the billions borrowed
from this country, Secretary Hull
was drafting a strongly worded
statement in response to the
latest British note rejecting his
offer to consider payment Of the
debts in goods and services and
asserting drastic reduction was
more important than methods by
which payments might be made.
President to Decide
Secretary Hull discussed the
statement with President Roose-
welt and it's issuance depended
upon White House approval.
Meanwhile, Secretary Hull
awaited with interest Germany's
reaction to his reply to the Ger
man governments note announc-
ing moratoriu mon all foreign
debts and indicating resumption
of payments depended upon the
extent to which the creditors in
creased their purchases Of Ger
man goods.

of the most sharply worded docu-
ments yet sent a debtor nation.

pay the difference in the wage
rate.
This decision is expected to be
vigorously fought by the car.

carpenters could not be reached
