MEXICAN OIL ILLS MAY GET U. S. CURE Americans Seek to Develop Petroleum Resources, Portes Gil Declares. By the Associated Press. MEXICO CITY, July 26.—President Emilio Portes Gil yesterday said that the critical condition of ihe Mexican oil industry was due to world condi- | tions rather than domestic and added that American_capitalists already were negotiating with his government for further development of petroleum re- sources. The President discussed in detail the economic outlook for his country with a group of Americans, led by Hubert C. Herring, who have been here for 10 days lecturing on the relations between the United States and Latin America. He told them the government program calls for intensification of education and of road building. The appointment of former President Plutarco Elias Calles to reorganize the finances of the Na- tional Railways was to enable payment of railway obligations and it i pro- posed to enter into an agrecment with international bankers, which will en- able the government to meet its com- mitments. b Mexican army posts along the United States border were said to be purely for policing_purposes, The President discussed in detail the agrarian question and said that ex- propriations of land represent 3.17 per cent of the total national area, or about | 6,345,000 hectares. He did not believe enforcement of the agrarian laws would endanger produc- tion on a large scale and pointed out that in the State of Morelos the pro- duction of rice has increased so as to offset the decline in sugar production.

First of the large air carriers to install a complete radio system as an integral part of its operations, Trans- continental Air Transport has had to establish broadcasting stations of its own, because part of its flying route swings south of the regular transconti- 1ental airway, along which the Govern- ment radio services will be offered. One rides by train to Columbus, Ohi flies all next day to Waynoka, OKkla. rides again by train to Clovis, N. Mex., | and flies the second day to Los Angeles | to negotiate the Transcontinental Air Transport journey—the fastest across the continent now avallable to the everyday traveler. The reverse route is taken for the return journey. Planes Hear Stations. It is an_interesting experience to adjust the headphones and hear “Air- ways Communications Station XYZ at Port Columbus calling Plane ABC. Hello ABC.” This is simply the form of calling used by the stations of the Department of Commerce and adopted by Transcontinental Air Transport. The pilot of the plane replies in much the same form. Plane ABC, replying to Airways _Communication Station XYZ. Hello XYZ.” Contact being es- sues. If voice transmission and recep- tion fails because of adverse conditions, code can be used. Not only conversation but direction finding is made possible by the radio equipment aboard each of the big tri- motored planes. However poor the visibility, the pilots can always know their exact positions without recourse to landmarks. The ground stations are near the | atrports, consisting of two steel towers, jeach about 125 feet high, painted in alternate bands of yellow, black and white for daylight visibility and lighted RIDER FEELS MORE SECURE l IN RADIO-EQUIPPED PLANES by “Lindbergh Line” to Keep in Touch With Pilots.

Although it has been in operation a | relatively short time and only during | Summer days of rather poor reception, claims are made for the radio trans- mitting stations that they have an operating range of 150 to 200 miles.

The pllot not at the con- trols—for there are always two pilots— holds the “mike” or handles the send- ing key, as the case may be. All con- trols are in the pilot's cockpit. There are two antennae, the vertical for re- ception and a trailing wire for trans- mission. The vertical stands about six feet above the fuselage. The trailing wire, which is said. ‘o give a longer | operating range, is reeled in when not in_use. Specified wave lengths are worked, so that a minimum of dialing is neces- sitated. These channels are in the so- called mobile band of intermediate fre- quencies, which are considerably be- yond the upper reach of the average | NG STAR.

President Hoover’s planning commit- tee, which is to prepare for a national conference on care and protection of children, has been increased to include 15 officials and private citizens and will begin its work here Monday at a meet- ing with the Chief Executive. Announcing the meeting, Secretary Wilbur, as chairman, explained that the national conference, through which the President hopes to insure a proper re- lationship between the Government and the child, will be a culmination rather than a beginning of the committee’s work. In the meantime, he said, various It you use Cake Flour this one... -SPECIAL ‘Gold Meda! Cake Flour Sold only in this iy Cai radio broadcast receiver's dial.

How the program is to be continued has not been indicated, but it has been suggested that the proposed conference might devise means whereby its projects could be taken back to the several States, and carried out by them. 21 ARE SENT TO PRISON.
