CAVALRY GOES
To BATTLE

Fort Myer was deserted today as
the famous Third Cavalry was in
the field, bound for Chancellors-
vile, where the regiment will par
ticipate in reenacting the great
battle fought there u years ago
tomorrow. The cavalrymen,
sabers flashing, will reenact the
great charges that took place in
the battle in which almost 10000
Union and Confederate soldiers
were killed or wounded.
Marines from Quantico and the
famous regiment of Virginia Mill
tary Institute cadets also will take
part in the 1naneuvers on the his
toric battlefield.
While the cavalry Of today still
fills the same role in battle as it
did 70 years ago, there have been
many improvements which will be
demonstrated in an exhibition fol-
lowing the battle" Although
cavalrymen are armed now as
then with saber and carbine, they
also carry machine guns, which
may be set up in short time.
New collapsible mounts have
been developed so that the gun,
mount and ammunition chests
may be carried on a pack horse.
Certain members of each troop
are qualified as machine gun ex-
perts, and can assemble the gun
in a few minutes to hold a defen.

the Treasury's inactive policy, no
immediate change in the 77.57

for the relief that the market

A drive to have the Government
confiscate the Federal Reserve
System was opened in the House
today as debate continued on the
Administrations omnibus banking
bill.
The movement placed the Ad.
ministration revision of the Fed.
eral Reserve law between two
fires. with one group attacking
the measure as radical" and the
other declaring that it is "too
conservative"
At the same time followers OF
the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, of
Detroit, abandoned hope of OBJ
tanning a direct vote on the Nye.

the Administration measure. An
amendment will be offered, it was
disclosed, to authorize the Gov.

offered by Representative Cross

Closely aligned. with this fight
is the proposal Of Representative
Hancock CD of North Carolina
to force all State banks into the

vision was originally in the bill,
but was stricke,, out in commit.

Declares Agreement to Spend
80 Million Here Depends
On New Loans

MOSCOW, July 10 G.N.SO.-
Less than a week after a one-year
trade agreement was reached be-
tween Russia and the United
States, official circles today re.
iterated their demand for large
credits from America as a condi.
ton to extensive purchases there.
Although the Soviets offered to
buy 30,000,000 in goods under the
agreement, the pact can mean no
great extension of trade without
creation of normal credit cond1-
tionS," according to the Soviet
view as summed up in Economic
Life, official organ of the COM
misSariat of finance.
Credits Not in Pact
The question of credits caused

probable effect on the national

Conference, Foreign CommiSsar

DEBTS PAID OFF
although the Soviet govern.
ment, during the first five.year
plan, was forced to import
heavily and overpay for credits,
now, when our foreign debts are
paid off, when our trade bal
ance Is favorable, and when gold
production has reached a high
figure, there is no reason for the
SOviets to overpay."
Until the union can get fair
credit terms, the government pre-
fers to pay for imports in cash,
