NEW YORK. July 9.-Floyd Bennett

extremely unlikely" that Howard
Hughes, millionaire aviator, would take

nonstop flight from New York te
Paris.
Mechanics worked over his Lock.
heed II transport plane in q hangar

condition.
Hughes, who tentatively had Gel
this afternoon for his departure, re.
mained pon-committal.
Meanwhile, executives Of the New
York Worlds Fair, for which the
flight was planned as a goodwill
venture, declared there still was q
possibility he would get away late
today.
Assisting Hughes in his last-minute
preparations was his four-man crew
for the fight-Navigator Harry Con-
nor, on leave from the Department o1
Commerce; Navigator Capt. Thomas
Thurlow, on leave from the Army All
Corps; Radio Engineer Richard Stod-
dart. and Flight Engineer Ed Lund.
Equipment Occupies Cabin.
The special equipment occupied the
entire cabin of the plane. It included
two directional compasses, one for con.
tact with wireless stations In England
and France and one for ships; a com.
posite voice-code radio which can bs
used on II wave lengths; seconc
transmitter with eight wave lengths
and third with four. Some Is steam.
ship lines have agreed to have theil
boats keep in touch with Hughes plane
during the fight.
The plane has two 1,1O0 horsepower
engines, with sharp-feathering pro-
pellors, one Of which is enough to keer
the plane in the air.
The flight is possible first leg o.
round-the-world trip, via Moscow

reUedled yesterday in Buenos Aires
that adoption of an arbitration plan
Uds imminent
By the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, July s.-Foreign
ministers Of Paraguay and Bolivia
adopted and sealed with kiss today
preliminary accord to end the CEN
tury-old territorial fight over the
almost-worthless Gran Chaco border
area.
The agreement must now be sub
mitted to the two governments for
final approval, whereafter mediators
of six countries. who have tried since
1885 to keep Bolivia and Paraguay
from warning again over the green
hell" hope a final treaty can be
signed In five or six days.
The accord is to determine the
Bolivia-Paraguay boundary through
arbitration by Presidents of six Amer
ican countries or their representatives.
Formula Is Withheld.
The precise formula of the agree
ment was withheld pending formal
approval by the two governments, but
information from reliable sources in
dicated its main part was that Bolivia
and Paraguay agreed a zone varying
from II to so miles through the Gran
Chaco was subject to arbitration.
After the initiating ceremony. which
followed a three and half hour ses-
sion Of the Chaco Peace Conference In
the foreign Office here, 76-year-old
Foreign Minister Eduardo Diez de
Medina of Bolivia and Paraguayan
Foreign Minister Cecilio Baez en-
braced warmly.
Spruille Braden of New York, United
States representative, and delegates of
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Peru and
Uruguay. also put their initials on the
document.
There were joyous handshakes and
backslappings all around. Then a
communique was issued saying. THE
Peace Conference submitted a pro-
posal for direct settlement and eou.ta-
BILE arbitration which the foreign min
isters of both countries accepted and
signed with the pledge to submit it to
their respective governments and ask
them for complete approval in order
to proceed as soon as possible with the
signing Of the treaty of peace and
friendship and boundary limitations, :"

In war over the Gran Chaco-
about the size of Arizona-in 1882
1885, Bolivia and Paraguay lost an
estimated 100000 men by bullets.
fever, thirst, sunstroke and snakebite.
When truce finally was signed, Para
quay was left in possession of most of
the area-well over $4,000 square
miles. Since then the six neutral
countries have tried to get definite
boundary agreement.
Bolivia and Paraguay have been
stubborn about settling the quarrel.
Many have wondered what they would
do with the Chaco once they divided
it. Bolivia wanted Puerto Caballo on
the Paraguay River as an outlet to
the sea. Paraguay wanted to keep
the conquered land.

ments, provides for determination of

week averaged ; to per cent above
last week, and Jagged only to per
cent under . year ago for the country
as whole, Dun g. Bradstreet reported
today
Start of the fall season with con-
sumer response brisk in most all retail
lines brought gains in wholesale orders
which narrowed the sag in wholesale
volume under year ago to but to
IL per cent, the credit agency added
Heavy influx of weekend vacation
lists into New England helped lift
volume Of spending there from to
10 per cent above last week, and to
within 2 to per cent of the like
1887 week.
In the East several important shop
ping centers reported sales were ahead
OF last year. though for the region
volume ran to per cent under 1897.
Brighter Cotton Prospects.
Frightening Of cotton crop prospects
in many sections of the South enabled
merchants to hold totals within 2 to 8
per cent Of the 1887 level.
Further improvement in heavy in
dustry'' employment shortened the
year-to-year drop in the Midwest to
4 to II per cent.
Northwest buying widened under i'm
petus OF wheat cash. sales running I'M
changed to only per cent lower, COM
pared with year ago.
In the Southwest sales Jagged only
2 to S per cent behind last year.
Labor difficulties in both wholesale
and retail lines retarded shopping on
the Pacific Coast and the Coast
regions spread below 1887 broadened
to to l8 per cent.
Wholesales Reflect Upturn.
wholesale markets were quick to
reflect the upturn in retail sales" the
agency said. Depletion Of stocks
brought out a large volume Of re-
orders and an increasing emphasis on
spot shipment. Mail requests stressed
back-to-school merchandise, ready-to-
wear and staples for cold weather use.
"As retailers discovered that con-
servative initial purchases were pov-
ing inadequate to meet tu "ent rate
of turnover. they showed lc@s c=ution
in making commitments ahead de-
string to insure against the imminence
of delivery delays"

URGED TO STUDY
Thorough Training Is Vital,
BoIitha Laws Declares
at A. !. B. Dinner.

In addition to q high code Of ethics,
the successful banker must have .
thorough knowledge Of economic prob
lens and the many phases Of finance
ing. which can only be gained by con-
tinuous study and research, declared
Bolitha j. Laws, recently appointed
Associate Justice of the District Court,
at the annual fall educational dinner
meeting Of the Washington Chapter,
American Institute of Banking, at the
Columbia Country Club.
Stupidity and lack Of knowledge can
bring disaster to bank and its COM
munity just as quickly and completely
as any other weakness, he added
Advising young bankers to regard
their work as career, the speaker
commended the institute for promotion
Of an understanding of banking af-
fairs. He said that he had noticed
many cases where members Of the
institute had become prominent bank
ing officials by reason of the education
and experience they secured through
the institute and the inspiration for

Points to Opportunity.
I'm days gone BY" he said, 1T was
almost universal practice that the
banking business would be handed
down from father to son, from son
to grandson, and so on. However, In
the present day when the business of
banks has become so widespread and
50 intricate and the problems so many,
the man thoroughly prepared in bank
ing business has the opportunity to
progress regardless Of his family con-
nections or associations.
The justice designate, who has been
an instructor in the institute mere
for number Of years. will continue
In that capacity despite the additional
responsibilities he faces on the Dis
trict bench. This was topic Of con-
