(Continued from Page D disaster" to the airplane, reports were received of sos calls from two Italian steamships in the Mediter- ranean, one of them more than two 6ays overdue in port. The steamship Campidoglio, 3,702 tons. carrying an unspecified number of passengers to Genoa, sent an sos call from somewhere in the Gulf of Lyons, off the French Mediterranean coast, where it was beset by a violent storm. DeStroyers were sent from Cagliari to the rescue.
 A Genoa dispatch said that the steamship Gianicolo, due at Genoa Sunday morning with coal from Rotterdom, was missing after pass ing Gibraltar. The Danish steam ship picked up an sos from the ship Saturday east of the Balearic Islands.
 News Heard Last Night
 News that big Italian air liner was missing was disclosed only last night, after 1t had been missing 24 hours. The plane, it was said. be- longed to the Littoria airplane and was one the Cadiz-BalearicS Islands Rome service. On its way to Os- tia airport here from Cadiz, the plane flashed an sos from an un- known position at 4:3o p. m. Sunday, during a heavy gale then sweeping the entire Mediterranean.
 Military seaplanes and Italian steamships were seeking the plane south of Sardinia. Heavy seas forced of the search at night fall yesterday. It was resumed this morning.
 Last night the air ministry conn., municated to famflies of those aboard-ten passengers and 8 crew of four, it was believed, informing them of a disaster. This was talk en to mean that hope had been abandoned for those aboard.

graduated from the U. s. Naval Medical school and entered the navy as an acting assistant surgeon. Even as young officer, Grayson exhibit ed an amazing flair for making him. self popular. He mixed well, and acquired a reputation as con- versationalist. His professional ca- reer likewise flourished from its beginning, and he became partic- ularly admired for his skill as 8 diagnostician.
 President Theodore Roosevelt took an instant liking to Grayson, and made him assistant to the regular White House physician. At this time, Roosevelt, jealous advocate of the strenuous life" ordered army and navy officers to ride horseback 30 miles in one day, to tougher them. The more sedentary officers protested that it couldn't be done. Roosevelt consulted Grayson, who said it was perfectly possible.
 Map out the route and round up Admiral Rixey and Archie Butt, " T. R. roared. We start from the White House at 3 a. m. tomorrow" With a heavy rain and sleet falling, and the secret service men left be- hind, the party set out. Roosevelts glasses became encrusted with ice, and he could not see, but the party grimly galloped onward. Once the president fell of his mount. That night Roosevelt, GraySon and Butt ate dinner from the mantel.
 When Taft became president, Grayson's popularity continued, and he was assigned to duty on the "Mayf1ower," presidential yacht.

$4OO,OO0, ,O00 which otherwise would be frozen" in the sterilization fund. Economists estimate that each dollar has a credit value of $l0. If the entire $400, 100000 were turned into credit channels, it presumably would provide credit expansion Of $4,000,- 100000 during 1888.
 Provisions of Policy
 The new policy, retroactive to Jan. 1, 1888, provides that the treasury will deposit in its federal reserve bank accounts the gold which it purchases from American miners or from foreigners up to $l00, ,000, ,000 during each quarter of the year.
 Gold acquired in excess of $l00.- 100000 will go into the sterilization fund. However, officials pointed out, there was little likelihood from present indications that gold acqui- sitions during each quarter will ex- ceed $10O,000,060.
 AS a primary step under its new program, the treasury will immedi- ately deposit in its federal reserve accounts $30,000,o00 in gold already "earmarked" for sterilization since Jan. l. In placing these funds into circulation, the administration is promptly providing the nase for $500, 1000, 900 credit expansion.
 Started In l9S6
 The gold sterilization program was inaugurated on Dec. "A, 1886 in an effort to prevent a tremendous inflow of gold from war-threatened Europe from entering this countrys credit structure. The credit Sltua- ton at the time held the potential threat of imitation because of the existence of almost $S,00o, 100000 in idle bank funds.
 To sterilize gold, the treasury had to go into the money markets to borrow an amount equal to that t paid out in acquiring the gold. h. asmuch as foreigners were not with drawing funds from the United States because of unsettled condi- tions aboard, the money they re- ceived for gold sold to this govern ment invariably showed up as a bank deposit. Hence, the borrowing was necessary to remove from cir culation the amount of the bank deposit.
 Make Funds Available
 The new program will not involve the actual physical transfer Of gole to the Federal Reserve system. The treasury merely will issue the golo certificates, and thus make addi' tional funds available for govern ment spending. At the same time money paid in acquiring gold will be available for lending by bank in which 1t is deposited. Both re- publican and democratic member of congress praised the treasury action.

(Continued from Page D bombers will attempt a nonstop flight from Miami to Lima, Peru - about 2,500 nautical miles. Officials at the air base here pointed out that the flight to Lima would be less than distances flown non-stop by the "Fortresses" in tranS-conti- mental test flights.
 It also was reported that the planes, after a long jump to Lima, may make the final leg of their flight to Buenos Aires without stop. Such a flight would include transit of the Andes Mountains, where the minimum pass elevation is around 15,000 feet.
 The most modern of the army $ general headquarters fighting force, tho bombers have a ceiling of about 25y 600 feet. No difficulty was antlcl- pated in their flight over the high South American peaks.
 Load Twenty Tons Each
 The big bombers. each with a take off load of more than 20 tons and each with a crew of four o11l- cers and four enlisted men, had been given final tests and were ready tor the signal to start at 8:3O a. m (E.STD.
 In all, 50 men will make the flight because the flagship Will carry 10 men.
 The undertaking follows the spec tacular flight of three Italian oomo- ing planes from Rome to RIO De Janeiro last month.
 While the flight was planned 1oi training purposes, the Armada was expected to create something or a sensation in South America where American aircraft, both mlll- tary and commercial is admired Secretary of State Cordell HulFs re- port on armaments exports for Jan uary. required under the neutrality act. revealed that Argentina was bv far the United States best GUS toner for military aircraft, having prrchased $2362,500 worth. China was second with $32s,olO.
 Army air corps officials conslo- cred the flight to be of the greatest importance - a test of the effi- ciency of the army general head quarters air force. It will be the most spectacular flight ever at- tempted between the United States and a foreign country by a branch of the military service.
 It was explained that the tlignt was being made under conditions that would provide practical test of the purposes of which the G"H.Q air force was organized - to give the army cavalry of the air ready at all times to defend the country and hold off an enemy until the slower ground forces could DC mobilized.

 Miss Henie will leave soon for California to make a third movie. The trip to Norway would be started as soon as the film is complete.
 Merrill is a veteran ocean flyer. He has made two round trips over the Atlantic. The first one was made in 1886. His companion on that flight was Harry Bingham, night club performer. Mishaps marred both legs of the trip, and at Musgrave harbor, Newfoundland. on the return.
 Second Force Down
 The second trip was made last summer. Accompanied by Jack Lam- bic, Merrill made a round trip flight to London. On this trip Merrill was forced down at Essex, England. Re- turning, in setting down at Toronto, their ship struck a mudhole and 8 crack-up was narrowly averted. On the 1887 trip Merrill carried photo- graphs of the Hindenpurg disaster. He had intended to bring back movies of the coronation of King George VI, but instead brought only still photos.

 Legal, Aid Given
 Both departments of the bureau furnished legal aid and advice in many cases.
 Father Cryne told the advisory board that splendid cooperation has been given the Diocesan Bureau. In addition to the Organizations mentioned above, he cited the well fare department of the City of Wa terbury and the Lincoln House aS- Sociation. The bureau has many contacts with both these bodies. The fine work of the Central Index, he said, prevents duplication in welfare work and protects against fraudu- lent representations.
 Catholic Women Help
 Of the $35,Oo9.4S in receipts dur ing the year, the sum of $5,l7l was donated by the Waterbury Council of Catholic Women, whose work was highly praised by Father Cryne. Expenses for family care totaled $15,550, for child care $12,338, and for services and administration, $6,- 735.
 Members of the advisory board of the Waterbury office of the Dio- cesan Bureau of Social Service are as follows: John Bulger, Miss Cath erine V. Burns, Miss Genevieve Car olan, Thomas M. Conlon, Edmund J. Daly, Martin Dunn, Miss Mar jorie Farley, Attorney William B, Fitzgerald, Raymond J. Fitzpatrick, John Gaffney, Miss Kathryn w.

jobs since fall on business for "over- shooting" in the matter of prices.
 Shot Prices Too High
 q think they shot prices up to a point where nobody could buy" he said. '"rhey got just a little too greedy. They wanted to make just a little too much profit and shot the prices up out of reach of people to buy. That was true of rents. It was true of some foods. It was true of building materials"
 Williams testified that the number on local direct relief had increased from 1,300,000 in October to 1,800,- 900 in January. The cost to locali- ties had risen from $30,00o,0oO to $45 ,000, 900.
 He cited increases during January of 285 per cent in Flint, Mich., 87 per cent in Detroit, 67 per cent in Durham, N. O.. 51 per cent in Day. ton, O., and AT per cent in Louis vile, Ky.
 Relieve Hard Pressed Cities
 "The proposed increase in the WPA program to 2,500,000 will mean that hard-pressed citeis would be able to accept many of the needy families now being turned away" Williams said.
 We also know that relief stand ards are being reduced all over the country in an effort to spread the available funds as widely as possible. Tn the counties of the cotton belt, for instance, average relief benefits are now as low as $3.76 a month per family"
 The published hearings disclosed Republican criticism of WPA figures and predictions.
 Rep. Richard B. WiggleSworth, R., Mass, asked why the request to sup- plement the $l l,500, ,000,000 relief ape propriation for the fiscal year end- ing June 30 and $190,000,0O0 left over from last year had not been made earlier in view of the sharp relief rise in December and Janu- ary.
 "Well, we kept hoping against hope that this whole thing would level off," Williams replied.
 He said good administrative practice" would have required serv- ing notice that 10000 to 100000 would be dropped.
 To the suggestion of Rep. Clinton A. Woodrum, D., Va, that an up- turn would make $l00, 0,0O0,0OO suffi- cient to meet the relief demand, Williams answered that it would be "cruel" to hire hundreds of thou sands and fire them in a month or l two.
