s Months Of Whoopet
In Southwest for
frankie Coronado
First Spanish Boy
To Make Good in U. S.
Will Get Sendoff

By the Associated Press.
SANTA FE, N. Mex, Dec. 23.-The
Southwest will give a six-month
"baile" next year for FRANKIE"
Coronado, first Spanish boy to make
good in what Is now continental
United States.
Frank Coronado-he was chris
tened Francisco Vasquez de Cor
onado-colonized the Spanish prov
ince of New Mexico in 1540.
So the Southwest, from the Grand
Canyon to the staked plains Of
Texas, has made the 4OOth ami
versary the occasion for the Cor
onado quarto centennial celebration.
The Spanish bale (party) starts in
May and closes October 81 with a
three-day fiesta in Phoenix, Ariz.
Many States to Participate.
In between a series of caval-
cades, historic pageants and color
full bales will be presented in New
Mexico, West Texas and Arizona.
There will be four super specials at
the Grand Canyons rim, Inscription
Rock, Espanola and Lincoln, N
Mex.-last stamping grounds of
Billy the Kid"
The siX-month historic whoopee
will be touched off at Bernalillo, NJ
Mex, where the swashbuckling
Coronado and his conquistadores
wintered on their first trip up the
Rio Grande from Compostela,
Mexico.
After good look at the Indians
Zuni. Apache, Navajo and Hopi-
Coronado set out to find the source
of gold heralded in the tabled
Seven Cities of Cibola."
He penetrated as far as Nebraska
without any luck, but the imprint
OF Spanish civilization was left in
dissolubly behind him.
Earlier Settler.
Coronado wasn't the first white
man to get into the Santa Fe coun-
try. Cabeza de Vaca made it on a
l0,000-mile hike from the Eastern
Coast in 1886, but left nothing for
posterity.
In 1880 the Rio Grande Pueblo
Indians massacred the Spanish COL
onizers, and it was not until 1892
that Don Diego de Vargas recon-
quered the territory and cast it in
the mold little changed since.

u. 5. Regains Export Trade
With South America
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
\ The Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics said today that during the
last five years the United States
had regained nearly one-half of the
Latin America export trade it lost
between 1929 and 1882.
Agricultural and industrial ex-
ports to 20 Latin American coun-
tries totaled 100000 last year
as compared with 1902 100000 in
1929 and $193 10000 in 1892.
Agricultural exports alone in
.. creased from $37,0OO,OOO in 1892 to
approximately $53,OOO,OOO in 1887. In
1929 agricultural exports totaled
$129, 100000.
Principal Latin American GUS
toners for United States agricul-
tural products are Cuba, Mexico,
Panama, Venezeula, Argentina, Co.
lombia and Brazil. Cuba absorbs
more than 40 per cent of the total.
Wheat flour and lard are leading
agricultural exports.
Total imports from Latin America
have increased, but, the bureau said,
the 1887 figure was not much more
than half as large as in 1929.

Rail Chiefs Ask Riqht
To Add Directorships
= By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Two important figures in the rail-
road industry-F. E. Williamson,
president of the New York Central,
and Ernest E. Norris, president of
the Southern Railway-applied to
the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion today for permission to add to
their long list of directorships.
Williamson, an officer and director
of SO railroad and terminal COM
panies, asked permission to serve as
a director of the Easton & Western
Railroad. The Easton & Western

Easton, Pa, which is operated by
the Central Railroad of New Jersey.
Norris, president and director of
% companies in the Southern Rail-
way system, and also a director of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg &
Potomac, asked permission to serve

said he would be one of four direc-
tors to represent the Southern on
