Boys Club Rally Hears
Hoover Plea for u. ). Youth
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Herbert
Hoover appealed last night for an
open door" for the Nations youth,
as a gateway to pursuit of his great
adventures in moral and physical
safety"
The country. he said, in an ad-
dress at the 35th anniversary dinner
of the Boys Club of America, must
build manhood (which will con-
tend against the pressures of de-
generation"
Mr.. Hoover was reelected chair
man of the board of the Boys Club
yesterday afternoon and presided at
the banquet last night
Alfred E. Smith, former Governor
of New York and Democratic cam
didate for President in opposition
to Mr.. Hoover in 1923, also was a
speaker at the banquet. Through
out his talk he referred to Mr..
Hoover as the President" and Mr..
Hoover spoke of him as Governor :"
Mr. Hoover paid tribute to Mr.
Smiths integrity, his rugged intel
lect and his zeal and devotion to
the public interest" Mr.. Smith, in
turn, recalling the 1928 campaign,
said: "We didn't differ so very much.

difference was made by the voters"

borne troops participated In the
conquest of Crete, which stands as
an all-time epic of aerial invasion.
The Germans, however, began to
use gliders for military purposes
more than year ago. On May 10,
1910, when the invasion of Belgium,
the Netherlands and Luxembourg
began, the Nazis made the first use
of gliders in warfare. 1t is under
stood that in that campaign they
used a type of glider carrying six
fully-equipped soldiers. These glid-
ers were towed in trains of as many
as eight by old transport airplanes
and were released some distance
from their objectives, which they
approached silently. 1t has been
reported that the Germans cracked
the Belgian defenses by capturing
with glider-born troops such vital
key points as the Albert Canal, the
Eben Emael forts and several vital
bridgeheads.
Cites Military Use.
Senator McCarran pointed out
that the recommendations of the
Secretaries of War and Navy against
enactment of his bill dealt with the
subject of glider pilot training from
the viewpoint of its use as prelim-
mary training for power-plane pi-
lots.
Did not these Cabinet members
know that gliders have a military
use?" Senator McCarran asked.
Did not they know that, whereas
it costs about $4,000 to turn out
completely finished military pilot,
it costs only from $500 to $500 to
turn out completely finished glider
pilot? Do they not know that it
would be poor economy to use a
$4,000 pilot on job that a $500
pilot can do better?"
Senator McCarran pointed out
that while Secretary Stimson was
reporting adversely on the glider
pilot training bill, the Air Corps
was asking glider designers and
manufacturers for plans and speci-
fications for gliders.
Il feel certain that If Secretary
Stimson had consulted the Air Corps
before making his recommendation

PNAASND'
But, even should the embryonic
and feeble glider industry, keyed
to produce a dozen or a score OF
gliders and sailplanes a year. be
able to turn out military gllders IN
quantity, the Army at once would
come face to face with a paralyzlng
shortage of qualified glider pilots,
even for instruction purposes.
Records of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority show that there are in
the United States today only l44
glider pilots holding Federal certlfi-
Gates. There are only COS student
glider pilots registered with the c.
A. A.. This against an estimated
250000 trained glider pilots in Ger
many alone!
While the Air Corps is looking
around to see where it may obtain
gliders in case of necessity, SeCre-
tary of War Stimson has recon-
mended that Congress should not
pass legislation providing for the
training of glider pilots.
rs it possible that our right hand
does not know what our left hand
is doing?" asked Charles T. Malone,
president Of the American Glider
Association.
Would Sponsor Clubs.
There now is pending before the
Senate Commerce Committee, with
out any immediate prospect of ac-
ton or even of hearings, a bill by
Senator McCarran of Nevada to
establish within the Civil Aeronau-
tics Authority a glider pilot train
ing division. The purpose would be
to sponsor formation of glider clubs
in schools and universities, TO make
available suitable gliders and sail
planes, to train instructors and to
build up experience and a reservoir
of trained glider pilots from which
the military services might draw.
The measure calls for the appro-
priation of S5OO,OOO for this pur-
pose during the 1912 fiscal year.
Although this is the only legis-
latlon now pending which would
give the United States a start on
glider development, the measure
has been opposed both by the Army
and the Navy.
Flight training in gliders or sail
planes as preliminary step in
power plane training is of doubt
full value and it is believed the cost
is not commensurate with the re-
suits obtained, Secretary Stimson
said in opposing the bill.
Lacks Merit, Says Navy.
Ralph A. Bard. then acting as
Secretary of the Navy, reported to
the Senate Commerce Committee
that the Navy Department does not
consider that the glider legislation
has sufficient merit to warrant its
support" He said that Navy ex-
perience in glider training had re-
suited in a definite determination
that the inclusion of glider train
ing in the flight training syllabus
was not worth while"
While the War and Navy Depart
ments were recommending against
glider training in the United States.
Germany was drawing from its tre-
mendous reservoir of glider pilots
for its newest fighting arm-a more
recent development than even the
parachute troops. Many glider

Girls Complete
3,7OO-MHe Ride
On Horseback
~ the Associated Press.

by the hSSOCidItO PTtSS-
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 26.-Two
22-year-old girls who'd rather ride
than eat-and did for 40 hours
have completed a 3,100-mile horse
back trip from their Upper San
dusky, Ohio, homes to Los Angeles.
Mrs. Myldred Bickham Binau and
Miss Virginia Shumaker never had
ridden more than 200 miles before.
They came through without saddle
sore, although they wore out a
dozen jodphurs not to mention sew
eral pairs of boots and riding shirts.
They started their trek April IL
and are going to ride 20 miles more
to Santa Monica today to reward
their mounts with a swim in the
ocean.
En- route they encountered few
hardships. Once their horses ran
away. Another time Mrs. Binau's
dapple gray mare Silver Queen fell
and Mrs. Binau broke her wrist.
Crossing the Mojave Desert, they
miscalculated their time and were
without food 40 hours.
The girls believe their ride was
the longest ever made by any
women. They're still enthusiastic
and said they'd like to canter back
home. But they're going to make
the return journey by automobile,
starting Monday.

Buying Restrictions
Present Problem in
Defining Merchandise
Federal Reserve Board
Continues to Issue
Rules for Dealers
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A bridge lamp is furniture, but q
clothes hamper Is not.
This isn't double talk; 1t Is just
some of the 24-hour-a day advice
that's pouring out Of the Federal
Reserve Board in interpreting the
installment credit regulations which
began the first of this month.
While doubling that confusion
over the restrictions were any more
than could be expected, one sleepy
eyed official said there were still a
lot of questions to be answered after
he and his staff worked nights for
four weeks.
The rules set minimum down pay
ments up to one-third of an articles
cost and fixed a maximum time of
l8 months for paying the balance on
"a different types of merchandise.
Furniture seems to be one of the
favorite question marks. The board
started out by excluding floor cover
ings and draperies from the defini-
ton of furniture
Furniture Defined.
Since then the experts have ruled,
on separate occasions. that lamps,
mirrors, unpainted furniture, stools,
kitchen and breakfast room sets,
porch tables, chairs, swings, and
kitchen cabinets are furniture"
But chinaware, cooking utensils,
ordinary electric fans, wall clocks
and non-electric carpet sweepers are
not furniture.
:. Then, there's the problem aof one
of these new-fangled gadgets that
is part radio and part bed or other
furniture. The required down pay
ment on radios is 20 per cent, but
only 10 per cent on furniture. The
board solved this one saying which
ever part of the gadget cost most
determined the classification. Thus
a s100 bed with a built-in SIS radio
is still bed.
The procedure is still too new,
officials said. for all the kinks to
be Strengthened out.
But for the customers it's simple.
All he has to do is 60 to his favorite
store and buy on whatever terms
the store is willing to offer. In
most cases, officials said, these
terms are no different than they
have been. Cash or single-payment
charge account transactions are not
regulated at all The rules cover
only installment sales.
Harder for Stores.
The nut is little harder for the
store to crack. But storeowners
are supposed to be getting regular
diet of advice from local commercial
organizations and the Federal Re-
serve banks.
Except in the case of furniture,
the restricted items are pretty well
identified. Such things as auto
mobiles, vacuum cleaners, refrig-
orators and pianos are mentioned
by nee. In each case a minimum
down payment is given. At present
the time limit on payments is 18
months for all these items.
Another question has arisen con-
corning articles placed in customers
homes for, say, 80 days trial. Does
the 18-month payment limit start
at once or after the trial? The
answer is that, as long as the Gus
toner pays nothing or promises
nothing and has the right to re-
turn the goods the trial time don't
count.
P. S-The Federal Reserve Board
reserves the right to change the
rules at any time, but must give
public notice of the alteration
