HOP RESTRICTIONS DISQUALIFY FLYERS Likely to Bar Otto Koennecke and Junker Planes From Transatlantic Voyage. By the Assoctated Pres BERLIN, July 30.—Preliminary an- nouncements of two prizes—one of 100,000 marks (about $24,000) for the first German aviator to fly the Atlan- tic, and another of 75,000 marks for a German endurance record—awakened false hopes in the various aviation camps preparing for transatlantic flights. The full text of the conditions for the awards shows that Otto Koen- necke and the two Junkers projects may be disqualified. Two provisions especially tend to disqualify Koennecke and the Junkers from the 100,000-mark prize. The first condition is that only seaplanes or land planes with more than one motor will be admitted. The second is that 330 pounds of useful load, part of which may be prescribed by the donor of the prize, must be carried. Obstacle May Be Qvercome. As the Junkers’ planes and Koen- necke’s Caspar machine are at present land airplanes with but one motor, they are thereby disqualified. How- this obstacle «can be averted if attached. Asked what a “useful load” means, Maj. von Tschudi, president of the Aero Club, expressed the opinion that this might mean one passenger and some gift for America, weighing 330 pounds together. The conditions further prescribe that the crew must consist of at least two men, both of whom hold pilot’s licenses. This disqualifies Count Solms-Laubach, who is preparing to undertake the flight with Otto Koen- necke. Other conditions are: The airplane must be equipped with sending and receiving radio apparatus capable of sending a message 300 kilo- meters; the landing must be effective within 50 kilometers of New York City Hall; the flight must be concluded within 84 hours, but intermediate land- ings are permitted; entries must be an- nounced 10 days before a flight is started, and the start must be made within 28 days of entry. Only Ger- man-built planes are allowed to com- pete, although the engines may be foreign models If they are constructed in Germany. The prize offer holds until August 1, 1928, Udet’s Plans Hold. Lieut. Ernst Udet is apparently the only one of the present contenders for transatlantic honors who can com- pete for the 100,000-mark prize without A change of plans. His machines are hydroplanes which have two motors leach and will carry two experienced I pilots in addition to camera men. The second prize of 75,000 is sub- ded into two prizes of 50,000 and 00 marks and is open until the 131st of October of this year. The jlarger amount will go to the German aviator who, in a flight lasting at least hours, covers the longest distance s the crow flies, without intermediate landing, provided at least 4,000 kilo- meters are covered. The smaller amount goes to the German aviator making the second best endurance flight under these conditions.

Coincident with indications that Dr. C. n Vollenhoven, president of the Mexican - American General Claims Commission, will soon resign from his post, the future of the com- mission appears beclouded owing to difficulties in the negotiations be- tween the United States and Mexico regarding the extension beyond August 30 of its life. Dr. Van Vollenhoven, a Dutch pro- fessor at law, was appointed in 1923, by mutual consent of both parties to the commission, to be the neutral member of that body. Returning to Holland. He is now on his way back to Hol- land, and, although he has not yet tendered his official resignation, be- fore leaving Washington, he is re- ported to have told both the Mexican and American officials that he would not return. He said that he consid- ered his appointment to have been only for the first term of the com- mission. Both the American and the Mexican governments ‘are reported to have agreed in principle to continuing the existence of the commission for two more years upon its automatic expira- tion on August 30. Jurisdiction Is Disputed. They have not yet agreed, however, as to whether the jurisdiction of the new commission shall extend to all cases before the present body or whether it shall only be empowered to adjudicate cases filed between 192 when the existing commission was constituted, and the present day. Of the 3,200-0dd claims before the present commission, about 3,000 date back to between 1868, when a previous convention was signed between the two governments, and 1923. These claims, with any additional ones which may arise in the future, the Mexiczn government is understood to be desirous of having adjudicated by another body, with residence in Mex- ico City instead of Washington. This arrangement would only leave the 200-0dd cases filed during the life of ithe present commission to be ad- judicated by the continuing body in Washington. PARENTS CAMP GUESTS.

REVOLT OVER FO0D PRICES PREDICTED Shortage Due Within 40 Years, Henry Wallace Tells Institute of Politics. By the Associated Press. WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., July 30.— A revolt by the industrial population against high food costs was pictured before the Institute of Politics today as a possbiility in the United States within the next 40 years. Henry A. Wallace, son of the fors mer Secretary of Agriculture, in an address decried “the grave injustica that has been done to agriculture dure ing the past six years.” He predicted a food shortage within 40 years with resultant_disturban that will cause industrial centers “ & thousand times as much worry as the present farm situation.” He warn that the industrial population might precipitate trouble when an imminent- Iy inadequate food supply compels them to pay an undue proportion of their wages for food. Balance Is Discussed. Mr. Wallace supplemented these as- sertions with ‘a discussion of the fdeal balance between urban and rural popu- lation, the ultimate type of organiza- tion which agriculture must adopt, and overproduction, which, in the face of lowered European purchasing pow- er, has curtailed the farmers' profits and levied seriously on his patriotism. National safety demands that at least one-fourth of our population ha farmers, he said, foreign food markets notwithstanding. “The home farmer is the basis of sound national policv even though the seaboard cities seem to like the idea of exporting manufac- tured goods and importing foods.” Mr. Wallace decried corporation farming from a standpoint of human values. “I question if it s sound policy for the United States to carry the industralization of agriculture beyond the family sized farm,” he said. “Men who work on their own crops, even though they be only tenants, have a strikingly different attitude than union labor producing goods for some one else. I wonder if the men who work eight hours a day in a fac- tory, and get their greatest pleasure outside working hours, are as com plete and worth while human citizens as farmers working 12 hours a day at half the wage?” Farm Surplus Cited. He questioned the Government recla- mation projects and encouragement of increased food production, when the farmers are already suffering from a surplus of wheat, hogs and cotton, together with a post-war reversal in credit balances between this country and Europe. “During the past five years.” he sald, “we have had about 10,000,000 too many acres of cotton, and the same of corn and wheat. If the 10,- 000,000 marginal acres of each of these crops could have been taken out of use, and if the production of hogs could have been cut by about 10,000,000 head each year, it is prob- able that the farmers would have re- ceived their fair share of the national income."” Ordered Here for Treatment.
