Aviation Mission Due
To Urge Purchase
BY ERIC FREEDMEN
Copyright, 1898. by International
News Service.l

The United States has beer
apprised unofficially of propose
by British interests to exchange
American airplanes for British
ocean vessels, it was revealed to
day.
At the same time, it was learned
that the British aviation mission
which recently concluded visit
to this country and Canada will
recommend purchase of large
number of American military air
craft.
PLAN FAVORED
According to British Embassy
attaches, the British government
probably would look with favor on
the proposal to swap ocean vessels
for airplanes.
Although the suggestion was ad-
vanced in England prior to the
aviation missions departure for
the United States. it was not laid
formally before the American gov
eminent.
Several Administration officials.
including Rear Admiral Emory S.
Land, chairman of the Maritime
Commission, informed Interna-
tional News Service, however,
that they had learned Of the pro-
poSal unofficially.
1.-THE plan came to my atten-
ton through certain Of my avia-
ton contacts" Land reported.
"It was not presented to the
commission through any official
channels"
LAND DOUBTFUL
While declining to discuss the
merits Of the proposal, Land eX-
pressed doubt if an exchange Of
airplanes for boats could be made
under existing law.
The British view is that the
United States is badly in need of
ocean vessels and England is
sorely pressed for adequate fight
ing airplanes.
Since the British merchant ma
Tine Is amply supplied Win both
cargo and passenger craft and
with American aircraft manufac-
turers prepared to turn out the
most advanced types of military
aircraft, English officials feel an
even trade would be beneficial to
both nations.
During their visit to the United
States, members of the British mis-
sion conducted preliminary nego-
tiations with several large Ameri-
can manufacturers.
If the British government ap-
proves the missions findings, an
immediate order for between 100
to $50 basic combat planes will be
placed in this country. These
ships would cost between $4,000
900 and $10,000,000.

Is Old Saratoga Slipping?
Lid on Gambling
 Threatens Famous Sports Scene
BY HARRY CRIMSON NEA Service Staff Correspondent


 Saratoga Springs, August 25--Can Americas greatest sports scene - Old Saratoga in August survive without wide-open gambling to draw patrons to the Spa?
 Saratoga Springs, the one-month town, is shut up tighter than Phil- adelphia on Sunday, and the na- tives and racing people ponder the result.
 Taking gambling out of Saratoga is like removing the elevators from the Empire State Building" says the pessimistic faction.
 Shutting down on gambling has kept nobody out of Saratoga except undesirables," asserts the purity group.
 But many declare that the old Saratoga saying, "I'll pay you in August" won't hold good this year. Meanwhile, dealers, croupiers, stickmen, casekeepers, and gaming room hangers-on stand along

 This is a decided off year for the outlying clubs, which are finishing the season with skeleton crews.

More conservative residents of Saratoga Springs point to the states $10,0O0,000 investment in sev- en monumental buildings around its famous healing springs. They con- tend the resort will continue to prosper on sounder basis.
 No one is exactly certain as to what put the lid on Americas Monte Carlo.
 The popular belief is that the crackdown was due to a break be- tween James A. Leary, veteran lead CT of Saratoga county's regular Republicans, and round-faced young Alfred L. Simon, who beat Leary's candidate for district attorney. Some

All summer long I've done nothing But read about fighting in Spain, And with Japan and China of course, It's the same thing over again. All summer long I've done nothing But read of central European events, Also columns of stuff about labor disputes And campers vacations in tents. All summer long I've done nothing But read complicated political news, And views of this and that writer Figuring among the who's whoes. All summer long I've done nothing But read about vacations and travel, Digests that go deep into affairs Or mystery like to unrayel All summer long I've done nothing But read of Nan leader, youth and kind, Till sometimes I wish could call that summer back When was just reading Gone With The Wind
