NEW HAVEN, Conn., April 15 (®). ~The establishment of a record is merely a sécondary purpose of an altitude flight, according to Lieut. | John A. Macready, prominent airman who recently resigned from the Army Alr Service. Macready, himself a former holder of the world record for altitude flying, recently attempt- ed to break the present mark of 39,- 289 feet held by Lieut. Callizo of France. He expressed his views in an interview appearing in the Yale Daily News today. The main object of an altitude flight, Macready says, is to develop planes which will operate satisfac- torfly at a height which will render them invisible from the ground and enable them to swoop down on enemy planes from higher altitudes. B e Snake shooting is a favorite pastime of the Bedouin inhabitants of Pales- tine. INDIA’S DEMAND FOR GOLD CALLED BOON TO AMERICA Near Panic of Rising Prices Here Prevented by Far East Outlet, Bank Expert Says. By the Assoclated Press. Demands for gold investments by farmers and merchants of India have saved the United States from a near- panic of rising prices, Carl Snyder, statisticlan of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, told the House banking and currency committee yesterday. Successful crop seasons, coupled with favorable prices, he sald, enabled the people of that country to take $1,500,000,000 of the world’s gold, pro- viding an outlet for American gold and thus preventing a period of finan- clal inflation and resultant price fluc- tuation orgies. Benjamin Strong, governor of the New York bank, questioned upon the committee's program to stabilize price movements, said that attempts to use N“mooooonnomootooooooonoooooomooomoooom“m»moono“«‘ the Federal Reserve system as the machinery for such regulation were futile attempts at mandatory regula- tion of economic law.
