WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Gover- nors of the various states were asked today by Federal Fuel Distributor Spencer to concur in the steps out: lined by the federal government for the emergency distribution of coal Letters sent to the ‘governors to- day by Mr. Spencer carried the cen- tral committee's plans and the fed- eral fuel @strihution form "No. 50" to be used by state committees in applying for emergency coal. “If you have not already informed the secretary of commerce, ‘Mr. Hoover, of your intention to comply with his wishes in the matter of the distribution of fuel, I presume you will do so,” Mr. Spencer told the gov- ernors, “‘and as the plan contemplates collaboration between your state com- raittee and my organization and in order that we may work most .effe:- tively, and that methods shall be as mucu alike as possible in all states, I respectfully request your concur rence in the steps described.” Forms were inclosed by the fuel distributer covering the various de- tafis of coal allocation and the fed: zal plans as announced earlier in the week. Goverhors'. committees were = quested by Mr. Spencer to apply coal. >: in othur statés only through the federal fyel distributor at Washington and not to order any coal from federal district committees nor producers outside of their own state. “Phere is no anthracite coal nvatl- able for distribution by the federal fuel distributor,” Mr. Spencer, said. pplication for emergency coal to the federal fuel distributor should be made only for current use and not for stomageo. “Application for emergency coal should be made only for the most es- sential purposes following the priority classes established by the Interstate commerce commission. “Emergency coal supplied on these applications, made to the federal fuel distributor will be placed f. 0. b. rail- way cars at the mines at the fair prices approved for the producing dis- trict by Secretary Hoover. “Tt avill be the enfeavor of the federal fuel distributor ‘to place or- ders for emergen/:y coal in those dis- tricts from whiclt the supply is most available to the applicants.” PRODUCTION OF COAL iXCREASES. WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Coal pro- auction for the week will be about 317,000 tons greater than the previous week and will total about 4,250,000 tons, the geological survey estimated today. ‘The increase was due to improved railroad conditions in the non-union fields, the survey said, rather than to “ reopening of mines. The total week- ly output {a still about 1,100,000 ton: short of the levels reached by the non-union output before the shop men’s atrike. There has been practically no in- crease in output in any of the strong- ly organized districts, the survey said, and the increase in shipments from Pennsylvania and from the Fairmont and Kanawha ‘districts of West Vir- ginla, has not been large. : The output of anthracite coal will be barely 30,000 tons for the current week, the survey added. an- thracite and bituminous coal together the output during the corresponding week of 1821 athounted to a total of 9,070,000 tons, the survey seid, while in 1920, the total of anthracite and bituminous for the corresponding week was 11,283,000 tons. ‘The present rate of output, the survey concluded, “is therefors from 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 tons below normal.” Theo Pennington and Paula Ayers, | leading singers with the” Brandon | Light Opera company now playing | at the Iris thester, will appear in an open air concert at the corner of Second and Center streets at 7 o'clock this evening in furtherance of ths American Legion campaign Sailors Curb | Genoa Rioting| GENOA.

The builders, pilots and officials living in the canvas city, near the top of Mount Combegrasse, are san guine that machines propelled by man power or merely by the wind are destined to make as much progress in the next twenty years as the aso Mine-motored planes have achieved since the Wright brothers made thelr test flights at Kittyhawk, N.

After watch- ing a Cuendeton-Charion machine fly for four minutes, he said: “It can't be done.’ And, prodding his team of oxen, he lumbered away. Fifteen of the motorless airplanes which are entered in the dontests have arrived and some of the ma- chines already have made the suc- cessful tmofficial flights, An Amer. ican monoplane entered: by the Aero- nautical Engineering society, 1s being held up in some ratiroad yards de- tween Clermont Ferrand and Havre, from which latter port It was shipped eight days ago.
