By the Associated Press.

DALLAS, Tex. May S.-Dr. Bolivar
Falconer of Marlin, Tex, world
traveller and one-time Federal agent,
left here today (s:35 am. Eastern
standard time) by plane on what he
hoped would be the first complete
round-the- world trip by commercial
air passenger service.
"I like to 60 places" the elderly
man said, "and I'm going"
Only one detail remained to be
settled, q booking from Manila, via q
Pan-American Airways' plane to San
Francisco. DR.. Falconer was advised
yesterday the ships were carrying only
mail and officials could not promise
passenger service by early June.
When the German airship Hinden-
burg leaves Lakehurst, N. j., May II,
DR.. Falconer will be passenger.
He plans to land at Frankfurt May
IA, and proceed from there via the
Dutch Air Lines and Imperial Air

would obtain a leave of absence or
resign to assume an important Demo-
cratic post in the Midwest during the
presidential campaign.
That he would receive an appoint
ment as the farmer representative
on the Federal Reserve Board.
That he might return to private
business.
Shortly after the new soil conserva-
tion act was passed and the ma
chinery for its operation set in mo-
ton, the President sent him abroad
with an assistant to visit various
countries to see how shipments of
goods from this country might be in
creased. It was indicated he was to
pay particular attention to foreign
cotton markets.
His secretary sailed this week for
Paris, where she is to join the Davis
party for the return trip. This was
taken as an indication the admin
istrator expects to dictate his report
at sea. and to be prepared to plunge
into other work shortly after arrival
in the United States.
H. r. Tolley. a former assistant to
Davis. was recalled from California
to help launch the soil conservation
program. Oficials said Tolley han
dled much of the detail in connection
with the new organization. He was
named acting administrator when
Davis sailed.
Before the old A. A. A. was in
validated by the Supreme Court, jan
uary s, Davis said he expected to
leave the Farm Administration when
things are running smoothly"

JAY-WALK|NG BAN
IS AGAIN TABLED
Commissioners Refuse to
Act on Proposal After
TWo.Hour Debate.

After a two-hour debate today the
Commissioners again laid on the
shelf probably permanently this
time-the proposal Of Traffic Director
william A. Van Duzer for legal ban
on jsy-walking under which fines or
imprisonment could have been assessed
against violators.
City heads rejected. apparently def
initely, a second proposal by Van
Duzer. which he had submitted as
chairman Of the Noise-Abatement
Committee, to forbid the blowing Of
automobile horns between II pm. and
Z am.
The jay-walking ban will not be acted
on finally, however. until pedestrian
signal lights to be placed in operation
at crosswalks on F street at Twelfth
and Thirteenth streets have been given
Q Today trial. The lights are sched-
uled to begin operation Tuesday.
Commissioner HAGEN, who first sup
ported Van Duzers jay-walking plan,
then abandoned the proposal, but
brought it up again for reconsidera-
ton by the Commissioners today, said:
THE Commissioners were not will
ing to issue an order for pedestrian
control, at least not until new pedes-
trian lights have been given q To-day
trial. Even If We do ban jay-waiking
1t probably would be effective only at
intersections having pedestris.l lights"
Van Duzer had protested that police
could not make the pedestrian lights
serve their full purpose unless police
had authority to make arrests Of per-
sons who refused to obey signals or
the police.
Commissioners Allen and Sultan are
opposed to arrest of jay-walkers, pre-
ferring an educational program to a
police drive. They question whether
such q rule could be enforced.

NEW EXPEDITION
TO co TO RUSSIA
National Geographic and
Bureau of Standards to
Sponsor Project.

The National Geographic Society
and the Bureau OF Standards an
nounced jointly today that q second
scientific expedition will be sent from
Washington to Soviet Russia to photo
graph the total eclipse Of the sun on
June 10.
The new expedition will take huge
camera equipped with q newly
designed astrographic lens inches in
diameter to base at Ak Bulak. Rus
STA. to photograph the suns corona
during the period Of totality. The
camera, a tube Of aluminium alloy II
feet long, resembling q cannon, was
designed and constructed at the Bu-
reau of Standards.
DR.. Irvine c. Gardner Of the Bureau
Of Standards, designer of the new lens,
will have charge Of the project and
will be accompanied and assisted by
Mrs. Gardner, herself an experienced
scientist and former member Of the
bureau staff. DR.. and Mrs Gardner
will sail from New York Sunday on
the Bremen for Germany, and will pro-
ceed via Berlin and Moscow to their
destination in the Ural Mountains,
just northeast of the Caspian Sea.
They expect to reach Ak Bulak about
June l and to remain there three
weeks.
The National Geographic Society
also is sponsoring a Georgetown Uni
versity expedition headed by Dr. Paul
A. McNally of Georgetown, which will
have its headquarters at Kustanai. ST.
IBERIA, about 370 miles northeast Of Ak
Bulak. This party Is now on its way
to Kustanai.
Ak Bulak also will be the site at
which a Joint expedition sent by
Harvard University and the Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology will
observe the eclipse.
DR.. Gardeners eclipse camera,
equipped for both color and black and
white plates. was focused and ad-
justed before leaving Washington, re-
ducing the time required for assembly
in the field. The packing cases form
a part of the mount. and it will be
necessary only to lay three concrete
foundations on which the apparatus
will rest.
The new lens greatly reduces the
necessary focal length of the camera
and increases the speed of photog-
rsphy. 1t Is expected to reveal the
shape, size, structure and other fea-
lures of the conora Of especial scien-
tific interest, since they are believed
to hold the clues to composition Of
the sun. DR.. Gardeners photographs
also will be used to measure the
brightness of the corona at various
distances from the sun.
His attempts to photograph the
corona in color are Of especial interest
due to previous failures to obtain satis-
factory color photographs.

volume basis.
ass Present Structures Debated.
Asked If any plans were afoot to
open up new lending channels to the
railroads, the President said it was not
question of more loans on the basis
of present capital structures, because
the railroads would be unable to pay
them.
Asked II the proposed new taxes
would not further interfere with rail-
road purchases. the President smiled
and said the tax matter was not set
tied yet.
The President has reached a sub.
stantial agreement with legislative and
administrative officers on the Wagner
bill designed to aid poorer classes and
construction industries through a vast
program Of building of low-cost houses
and clearance Of slum districts.
Senator Wagner, Democrat, of New

White House conference early this

Commission Not Expected
to Make Recommended

AS members of the Washington Air
port Commission, organized at Capt.
tol meeting late yesterday, prepared
today to go to work on the task OF
determining the kind of airport WASH
ington needs and selecting site, the
opinion was expressed informally that
they probably will not be able to make
q final report to Congress before next
January. The present Congress Is ex-
pected to adjourn about June /.
King Is Chairman.
After electing Senator King. Demo-
crat, of Utah, chairman of the Sem
ate District Committee, as its chair
man and Representative Nichols,
Democrat, of Oklahoma, as secretary,
the commission created a subcom-
mittee of three to formulate a plan
Of action.
The subcommittee, composed Of
Maj. Gen. Oscar Westover. chief of
the Army Air Corps. as chairman
Senator Austin, Republican, of Ver-
mont, and Representative Nichols, Is
expected to meet early next week.
"One of the first things the SUBJ
committee will do" Nichols explained,
will be to ascertain the kind of air.
port the District should have. When we
have in mind the picture of the air.
port needed we will look for the best
cite TO fulfill all the requirements.
To Confer With Austin.
Gen uyacfoynr coid ho will nopfar
With Senator Austin, who had to leave
the organization meeting early, and
will try to arrange subcommittee
meeting "at the earliest possible
moment"
The commission called for copies
Of the hearings held last year by the
special House subcommittee on the
local airport matter to be furnished
each member. The subcommittee also
will go over the record of all hearings
held by Senate and House commit
tees during the 10 years the local air
port problem has been under con-
sideration.
Nichols said the subcommittee

Of the commission and to cover the
cost of hiring experts to aid the COM
mission in selecting an airport site.
Funds Not Needed Now.
There's no need for funds now"

thorized appropriation. The Federal
Government already has Just about
sll the experts we need in the Bureau
of Air Commerce and the Army and
Navy"

scept Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York. who was in New York,
