burst into flames.
A young, daring pilot, Mrs.
Marsalis had flown the first four
laps of the race, comprising more
than 10 miles. The sharp banks

gasps from the crowd.

monetary reforms.
He pointed out the government
was spending approximately S2O,-
100000 a day and that the new
money contemplated by the treas

half days of federal expenses.
"The administration must act
to bring the purchasing power OF
the dollar to 100 cents as it was
in 1926" Thomas said. "That
was an honest dollar. Today the
purchasing power of the dollar is

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. g.
(UP)-Four Panama canals could
be built for the cost of the calam-
itous drouth now enveloping more
than half the country.
A blazing sun and hot winds
yesterday added millions to the
drouth toll, rapidly nearing the
staggering sum of two billion dol
lars. In addition to actual losses,
the government already has APP
propriated 100000, 900 for emer-
gency drouth relief. The great
Panama canal cost $525,S12,000
to build.
The drouth has reached the
stage of national calamity.
Twenty states, many of them
among the largest in the nation,
are affected. In several, every
county is on federal drouth re-
lief.
Ten million people, residents of
the rich plains drained by the Mis-
sisSippi and Missouri rivers, face
extreme suffering-many actual
hunger. No human beings have
died of thirst, but thousands haul
precious drinking water miles dali
ly in barrels and cans.
Thousands of livestock have
died miserably from thirst and
famine. Ranges are dotted with
pitiful bodies of dumb beasts
whose helpless owners are hard
pressed to provide drinking water
for themselves. Cattle still living

POLICE GUARD FOE =,
TO PREVENT CLASH

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 6. (UP)
Communists gathered for a dem
onstration in mo mans land"
here this morning nearly brought
a crisis in the prospective battle
between Senator Longs militia
and Mayor Walmsley's reinforced
police.
Given permit to demonstrate
the Communists chose Lafayette
street, which separates the forti-
fed city hall and barricaded Soule
boulding, which is troop quar-
tiers.
If the demonstrators became
unruly it would be necessary for
police to use tear gas which would
have to be aimed in the direction
of the soldiers.
Police solved the situation by
crossing the street and taking
their stand beside the Soule build
ing, giving the appearance of
shielding their enemies.

LITTLE AMERICA, ANTARC-

men left here in the half-light of
the returning sun today on a sec
ond attempt to reach Rear-Ad-
miral Richard E. Byrd by tractor,
believing him at his lonely adj
vance weather base 123 miles to-
ward the South Pole.
DR.. Thomas Poulter was in
command of the second tractor

when flags past so mile depot
were showed under during the
winter darkness just ending. The
other men are E. J. Demas, driv-
er, and A. H. Waite, Jr., radio
operator.
The men carried two months
rations in addition to a consider
able quantity of gasoline over the
requirements for the journey. The
extra supply will be deposited at
the advance base for use of trac-
tors on later journeys.
DIR. Poulter would make no
prophecy on departure of how
long the trip to Byrd's isolated
shack on the Ross ice barrier
would take.

couple of days." he said, "and we
might be out there long time If
we meet with an accident or are
stopped by billiards..
He added if they miss the flags
again, he is prepared to drive on
toward the barrier. Poulter said
he believes the danger from crew
asses is much less than during the
summer months, the holes being
bridged firmly by winter drifts. If
he cannot find the flags marking
the dangerous trail, he will go on,
steering by compass and the stars.
The party was determined to re-
Iieye Byrd, who has been isolated
alone for more than four months
on the barrier.
