EUROPEAN CRISIS
TOTEST MARKETS
Disturbing Situation Finds
Speculative Initiative
at Low Ebb.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March l8.-It would
be the height OF temerity TO attempt
a prediction Of the effect upon the
financial markets of the grave news
from Europe. Germany's decision to
scrap the Versailles treaty and REIN
stitute military conscription brings a
new disturbing element, to put 1t
mildly, into an already critical situa-
ton, and the outcome cannot be fore
seen.
A few things, however, 1t is well to
bear in mind. The first is that so far
as the New York stock market is con-
cerned. the news comes at a time
when speculative initiative is para
lyzed. There is no vulnerable account,
long or short, outstanding, and there
is no trading interest TO capitalize
unexpected developments.
Whether because of the strict regu-
lation to which the market is now
subjected or for some other reason,
the volume of transactions has fallen
almost to the vanishing point, and
more than ever before the market is
dIl P1OHJoltiOll IL 4OllO"o
that in all probability the verdict will
be delayed or, if not, that it will be
subject to revision.
The second consideration Is that
stocks had already developed a de-
clining trend before the Hitler an
nouncement Prices have been mov-
ing downward ever since the middle
of February and have given what the
chartists like to call "a bear signal"
New lows for this year and last have
been recorded repeatedly.
If quotations were reduced to a
gold basis. many stocks would be
found selling under anything seen in
1882. For this, domestic political
conditions have been held responsible,
although, of course, the potential
threat to peace in Europe has never
been entirely overlooked.
1t all makes more difficult the
problem confronting the representa-
tives of the European gold bloc meet
ing in Brussels today; hazarding a
guess, it makes more likely the sus-
pending of the gold standard by the
nation hardest pressed Belgium Ger
tainly it puts out of the question the
stabilization which both the gold and
the non-gold countries SO urgently
need.
In normal times a threat to peace
would be reflected in the foreign eX-
changes more quickly than anywhere
else. but now the exchanges them
selves are in such disorder that one
can never be sure of the influences
which are back of any particular vio-
lent fluctuation.

EXCHANGE BALLOT
BATTLE RENEWED
Nominating Group Reported
Ready to Name Gay for
Presidency.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 18-The fight
over nomination to the presidency of
the New York Stock Exchange-the
first such struggle within memory of
the present members-1ared up sharp
ly again yesterday with reports in well
informed Wall Street circles that
Charles r. Gay, partner Of the l07-
year-oId firm of 'Whitehouse & Co.,
would be named by the Nominating
Committee.
Gay, in commenting on reports, said ::
I'm answer to the question whether
shall accept the nomination, if offered,
can only say that my decision must
depend upon representations made by
the committee and the advice Of the
many friends who have evidenced an
interest in the present situation.
However. have at no time sought
the nomination. he added.
At his home last night Richard
Whitney. rounding out his fifth term
as president of the exchange. said: Il
will not comment one way or another
on the reports"
The constitution of the Stock Ex-
change provides for three open meet
ingS of the Nominating Committee at
which candidates are suggested. The
last of these meetings is to be held
today and it is understood that the
committee will reach a final decision
shortly thereafter.
Nomination to the presidency Of the
exchange in the past has always vir-
tually assured the nominee of election,
but this year it is a moot point in
Wall Street circles whether the nam
ing of Gay might not lead to stiff
open contest for the Office with the
opposition headed by Whitney as an
independent candidate.
Formal announcement of Gay as a
candidate would without doubt split
Stock Exchange circles into two war
ring factions.
On the one side would be the group.
said by close exchange observers to be
large, which favors a change to i'm
prove the public relations of the in
stitution. This wing of opinion has
held for some time, and more vocifer-
ously of late, that under the Whitney
leadership relations with both the
public and Washington have Jared
badly.
On the other side Of the fence are
a substantial number of strong Whit
| ney adherents. They insist he has
done a good job in steering the ex-
change through trying change of re-
adjustment under the New Deal.

WHEN radio waves leave a broad
" casting station, they start on
long trip that often carries them not
only to the upper atmosphere where
they are reflected back, but around
the world, as well.
Experiments by a Norwegian engi-
neer. Jorgen Halls, and other scientists
show that short waves may pass
around the world score Of times and
still be strong enough to be picked
up by radio receiver, according to
World-Radio, published in London.
In one of these tests signal was
broadcast and an echo of it was heard
three seconds later. This apparently
meant that the wave had circled the
globe 81 times. The way it is figured
out really is very simple. Radio waves
travel 10000 miles a second. The
earth is about 24,000 miles around.
Now then, the signal was heard three
seconds after it left the transmitter.
In that three seconds, it must have
travelled $4,000 miles. Divide that
figure by $4,000, which is what the
scientists did, and you have quotient
of 81, or the number Of times 1t went
around the globe.
That discovery urged the scientists
fn doanar thn c1IhiaPt and
now they have found what they call
multiple echoes" These occurred,
as a rule, in series of three seconds.
A signals first echo, for example. was
heard three seconds after it left the
transmitter. Another and fainter echo
was caught six seconds after it was
emitted. And on and on, every three
seconds.
lust to make it more complicated,
the scientists decided to drag in
some sunspot theories, and this left
them deeper than ever il the wireless
mire. After some serious thinking and
calculating, they deduced that the
echoes are at their best when SUM-
spot activity is greatest.
Not satisfied, they waited until a
nice eclipse of the sun came along
and again went echo hunting. This
time they found that the echoes dis
appeared when the moon was between
the sun and the earth.
Most of these echoes have been
heard on short waves. which seem to
have an affinity for bee-line dashes
to the upper atmosphere, where they
are reflected back down to the earth

Blind Landing Aids.

"RLIND landings" at airports in fog

practicable by means Of the radio
compass system developed by the Army
Air Corps and tested with success by
noted flyers during the last year, will
be installed at IL airports in as many
cities during the next few months, re-
ports the Bureau of Air Commerce.
Experimental installations at Newark
and Washington airports are expected
to be completed early in July.
Delay in securing parts has slowed
up the production of the equipment at
the Army radio laboratory at Wright
Field, Dayton, Ohio, from which it
was ordered last November when it
was decided to adapt the Army Air
Corps system to commercial aviation
In the meantime the civil airways
officials have completed arrangements
to survey sites for the transmitters
adjacent to the civil airports where
they will first be installed, namely,
those at Newark, Pittsburgh, Colum-
bus, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Chicago,
st. Louis, Kansas City, Los Angeles,
Oakland, Seattle and Washington.
The Bureau of Air Commerce as
serts that the blind leading-or blind
approach system, as it is also known
will add materially to the safety and
reliability of air transportation, max
ing it possible to land under condi-
tions of such poor visibility that the
airport cannot be seen by the pilot.
Expert aviators are said to be able to
make blind landings with the new
instruments after two or three hours
of practice. Department of Commerce
