Two of the men were injured slightly. ‘The mechanic Battaglia and Radio- man Giulini required only first aid treatment for their injuries sustained in the crash, which ended an attempt to blaze a new air mail trail to South America. Captain Francia Lombardi, com- mander of the flight, and Count Franco Mazotti, second pilot, escaped unscathed. A Pan-American airways rescue par- ty went to the aid of the fliers, who crashed on the beach 12 miles from here. ‘The wreckage of the Italian airplane was sighted at about 7 a. m., by Bert Saurs, pilot of an American airliner. He was unable to land the airliner, filled with passengers and mail bound for the United States, but circled low above the spot of the disaster. . Saw Three Men He reported by radio that he saw three men standing beside the smash- ed trans-Atlantic ship. Quickly he wrote a note: “Help coming.” He tied it to a weight and dropped te eee the beach men. They waved CK. Burnett Boyd, manager of the local Pan-American Airways port, immedi- ately organized rescue parties to start to the scene by motor launch and overland by foot. The Italian plane, which left Rome early Saturday, had been due in Buen- os Aires Monday. It left Dakar, Africa, carly Sunday, and reached the Brazil- jan coast, 300 miles off its course, about, 10 p. m. Sunday. Afterward it wand- ered aimlessly, seeking its destination, Natal, until, out of gas, it crashed. The ship was manned, in addition to Commander Lombardi, 36 years old, by Count Franco Mazzcéi, 29, sec- ond pilot; Marino Battaglia, 36, me- chanic, and Davidi Giulini, 34, the radio operator. All were seasoned veterans of the air and Gilulini was a veteran of the flights of the Italian commander Italo Balbo from Rome to Rio Janeiro and from Rome to Chicago.

Inasmuch as the recess of the sen- ate for the day made it impossible for Vice President Garner to sign the document, however, it can't go to the White House for the Roosevelt signature into law until Tuesday. ‘The president had Speaker Rainey ‘on the wire just before the house met, told him the senate three-year time Imitation on the $2,000,000,000 sta- bilization fund and his dolar revalu- ation powers was all right with him, and the speaker straightaway had the house accept the senate bill by unani- mous consent.

A 37,000,000 bushel quota was offer- ed Russia under the world pact Russia demanded a quota twice that size. Delegates representing the big four exporting nations—Canada, Austra- la, the United States and Argentina— believe that by the time the quotas expire July 31 Russia hardly have exported the 37,000, bushel quota offered her, let alone the double quota demanded. Leaders estimate Russia has not exported more than 25,000,000 bushels already and her shipping season is virtually over. An effort to effect an export agree- ment with Russia was attempted at the lastisession of the commission in a private discussion between Gourevitch and John Van A. MacMurray, United States minister to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, commission chairman. The conversations at that time were futile, and in consequence the subject was brought up again at Monday’s private ‘sitting of the commission. From a world viewpoint, conditions in the United States are the brightest in years. It was disclosed that the United States will spread its already snnounced 72 per cent acreage re- duction in winter Wheat to 9.6 per cent by application of the aliotment plan to spring seeding, leaving only 5.5 per cent to be attained by supple- mentary measures in order to reach the pledged 15 per cent reduction un- der the international agreement. Present signs point to Canada as the world's greatest exporter. ‘The bumper Argentine crop has been offset by a decrease in Australia, while in Europe, the outlook is for a normal crop.

Bremer, for some sign that the missing man is still alive. As the tweifth day passed since a gang seized the younger Bremer, with- out any definite word of his fate, the elder Bremer apparently was becom- ing more concerned and begged for a contact with the abductors. He made public a statement Sunday in which he said: “Please communicate with us. We want our son back. We are ready to negotiate and the money is ready if you will only tell us where to meet you. (Signed) “Adolph Bremer.” Federal operatives of the depart- ment of justice have been unable to span the sea of silence that has wid- ened between the abductors and the family since the first ransom note and a telephone call were received by Wal- ter Magee, wealthy contractor and friend, a few hours after Bremer was spirited away. City police have not tried. They have resumed their normal routine at headquarters in contrast with heavy forces of officers on 24-hour duty dur- ing the early stages of the case. The principal elder Bremer, who is the owner of the Jacob Schmidt Brewing company and a personal friend ‘of President Roosevelt, however, begged authorities to remain on the sidelines until his son was freed, feeling any police activity might endanger the banker's life. The younger Bremer was seized Jan. 17 for $200,000 ransom. Magee and the family denied any communication has been received from the band despite reports that contact had been made last Tuesday. Re- ports that the ransom might hi been paid Saturday night on the out- skirts of Minneapolis, given by two motorists who claimed to have seen white sack, a truck, and a mud-spa’ tered sedan ‘without license plates, were denied by the family.
