Department Of Commerce Gives Rules

After announcement yesterday by
the New York representative of DIR.
Hugo Eckener that the giant German
airship, Hindenburg, may pass over
Washington Saturday en- route to
Lakehust, N. j., the Bureau of Air
Commerce today promulgated special
air traffic rules governing flying In
the vicinity of the airship.
Private and commercial aircraft are
forbidden to approach closer than one
mile from the Hindenburg while the
airship is in flight or closer than one
half mile when she is moored.
Air traffic rules stipulate that air.
planes must give way to lighter than
air craft, while airships need give way
only to free balloons.
In response to a request from The
Star for information as to whether
the Hindenburg will fly over Washing
ton on her maiden voyage from Ger
many to the United States, F. w. Won
Meister, New York, American repre-
sentative of the airship commander,
replied late yesterday:
Understand it is Eckener's inten-
ton to fly over Washington, weather
and time of arrival permitting"
Under the schedule now set for the
first crossing, the airship is to arrive
at Lakehurst Saturday night or the
early hours of Sunday morning, so
that her passage over Washington
probably will be Saturday night.

DISCOUNT RATE Up
IN FRENCH CRISIS.
Increased to 6 Pct. as Bank
Seeks to Stem Outward
Flow of Gold.
Hy the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
PARIS. May 6.-The Bank of
France today raised its discount rate
to 6 per cent from per cent.
The rise in the bank rate comes in
the midst of foreign exchange as
saults on the franc, with financial cir
cles hearing rumors that the coming
Leftist government may devaluate the
franc.
Marcel Regnier, minister of finance
in the present government, announced
yesterday that the franc would not
be devaluated under Premier Sarraut.
Approximately s25,O00,000 worth of
gold started for New York today on
two ships.
The S. S. Normandie was reported
to be taking between $15,000,000 and
$2O,0O0,000 and the S. S. Georgia
loaded another heavy" shipment.
The regents of the Bank of France
raised the rate in an effort to halt
this outward flow of gold, which has
cut heavily into the gold reserves of
the bank in recent weeks.
Discount Rates Up.
An emergency meeting of the re-
gents was called after the gold with
drawals were estimated to have
touched 5O0,OOO,000 francs 1882 $780,
00O) daily on Monday and Tuesday.
On those days the extent of the
Leftist victory in the parliamentary
elections of last Sunday became ap-
parent.
Advances on gold bars were raised
to per cent from per cent, advances
on securities we're raised to 8 per
cent from per cent, and 30-day
advances were raised to 6 per cent
from per cent.
The bank decided to raise its dis
count rate and make gold operations
more expensive in an apparent agree
ment with the government to dlscour-
age spectators and to forestal more
drastic measures which might lead to
depreciation, if not to devalution, Of
the franc.
The banks gold reserves were re-
ported considerably diminished since
April "a when the banks statement
showed reserves worth 81 ,937 100000
francs (about s4,087, 842, 000D. This
represents a bank note coverage OF
slightly more than IS per cent.
Regnier indicated that the margin
above the minimum legal coverage OF
IS per cent was still ample to keep the
franc technically sound.
The bank rate was raised to 5 per
cent from 81 per cent on March %
when war fears over Germanys re-
militarization of the Rhineland started
a drain on gold which has continued
steadily since that time.
FRANC SUPPORTED.
BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 6.-Strong sup
port appeared for French francs in
foreign exchange dealings today, as
the Bank of France raised its discount
rate.
Wall Street foreign exchange experts
suggested that the support for the
franc might well be of an official
nature, possibly rejecting the CO.
operation of the United States Treas
ury's Sterilization fund and the British
equalization fund.
In the early dealings in New York,
the franc was quoted at $751; cents,
up .001s of a cent, but still well under
its gold parity of 6.63 cents. Francs
for 90-day delivery, however, were still
quoted at the huge discount of .36 of
q cent unchanged from yesterday.

The 10000 British troops and the

By the Associated Press.

committee, headed by Richmond H.
Shreve of New York, for 'indecision"
