NEW YORK, June 4 —Although Col. Charles’ A. Lindbergh's father-in-law, Senator Dwight W. Morrow of New Jersey, talked with him a short while this morning, it was not until a few hours later that the Senator learned his_son-in -law had planned a Pacific flight. The information came to him from newspaper men. Col.

The announcement of the proposed flight was made by Undersccretary of State Castle in compliance with a re- quest by telephone from Col. Lindbergh tocay. The exact route or itinerary of the trip was not clear in the minds of State Department officials. They said | they presumed he would fly across the country to some point on_ the Pacific Coast and thence across the Northern Pacific. They were uncertain whether he! would begin his transpacific flight | from the extreme northern part of this country or from Alaska. Should Lindbergh desire to fly direct- 1y from American to Japanese territory the closest hop over the ocean would be a span of approximately 600 miles bo tween Attu, most westerly of the Aleu- | tian Islands, and Shumstui, most north- erly and easterly of the islands of the| Japanese Empire. May A shorter flight of some 350 miles ! could be made between Attu and Cop- per Island, Soviet territory, and the Peninsula of Kamchatka. It was considersd possible, however. that even a hop as long as 600 miles across the sea would fit in with thej colonel's plan to make the trip in easy | stages without undue risk. Officials of the Soviet Information Bureau, which communicates with the | Moscow government in obtaining flying for Americans over Soviet id today Col. Lindbergh had sought such permission. They expressed the opinion that such a request would be readily agreed to by the Moscow government, pointing out that Lindbergh in November, 1929, grecied a group of Soviet flyers at New York after a flight from Russia. It was said that Moscow officials and flying men held Col. Lindb:rgh in “high re- gard.” i | { Make Longer Hop. Faces “Blind” Area. If Col.

BY FRANK SIMONDS. L—Politics Before Business. “Europe,” remarked one of the most famous of British giplomats at the moment when the news of the Spanish explosion reach>d Paris, “has now be- come a large area of political and eco- nomic prostration, pleasantly situated between the Spanish and Soviet revo- lutions.” Moreover, this cynical phrase exactly portrays the condition in con- temporary Europe. While revolution rules in the Iberian Peninsula and on the vast Russian plains, all progress toward the arrest- ing of th: evil consequences of the world-wide economic crisis are blocked sewhere on the continent by the con- tinuing domination of the political over the economic circumstanc:s. This paralysis, this deadlock, explains why, at the moment when the America to which I have just returned is talk- ing about the prospects of the revival of business, Europe is with precicely the same earnestness discussing the chances of survival of the whole system of capitalistic civilization. Submerged in his own problems, growing out of the present economic depression, the American has as yet considercd little beyond the immediate implications and complications of his troubles. Con- fronted by a more aggravated and far more acute phase of the world pho- nomenon, the European, by contrast, has already begun to examine things from the far broader standpoint of a great and enduring historical episode. Politics Enduring Obstacle, And, at bottom, this European state of mind grows out of the fact that { contains all the elements discoverable in the Am:rican. there are in Europe other factors, quite as potent and hap- pily not discoverable in our own situa- tion. the apparently unbreakable hold which politics still ~exercises over business; that is, the enduring obstacles which national policies oppose to any con- | upgjiy " 65-year-old parrol of the late €0- | Miss Anna G.

June 4—Pope Pius spent an hour and a half today discussing all phases of the crisis between the Holy See and the Itallan government with the Marchese Pacellf, his attorney, who performed important work in negotia- tions which brought about the Lateran treaty. The papal nuncio also took part in the conference, and when it was over {1t was disclosed that the Pontiff had delivered a second note to the Italian foreign office, presumably a strong pro- test against what he considers viola- tion of the concordat between Rome and the Vatican by dissolution of Cath- olic laymen's clubs. This note, it was learned, was de- livered Monday or Tuesday after For- eign Minister Dino Grandi, acting on advice from Premier Mussolini, had re- fused to receive the first note on Friday. The first note demanded apologies and the arrest and punishment of persons | guilty of insulting the Pope. The sec- | ond note, it is belleved, repeated those demands. The Marchese Pacelli, brother of the papal secretary of state, was said to have been participating with Cardinal Gasparri, signer of the Lateran treaty, in informal negotiations looking toward a settlement of the dispute between the churzh and the state. These nogotia- tions, it was reported today, are “pro ceeding satisfactorily.” Outdoor Rites Banned. In Ttaly’s 20,000 Catholic churches and in the meeting placcs of 9.000 Fascist groups the “man in the street" tcday heard the official pronouncements of the Vatican and the Italian govern- ment on the conflict Pope Pius forbade the colorful relig- fous demonstrations which usually mark | this Corpus Christi day.

INEW BOND ISSUE OVERSUBSERIED BY S50000000 $6,000,000,000 Signed Up When Treasury Puts $800,- 000,000 Paper on Market. OFFICIALS SURPRISED BY INVESTOR RESPONSE Result of 18-Year Security Offer- ing Shows Plenty Available to Meet Expected Deficit. By the Associated Press, The $300,000,000 bond issue an- nounced by Secretary Mellon Monday was oversubscriped more than seven times when the books closed last night with total subscriptions of $6,000,000,- | 000. The Treasury Secretary announced today that subscriptions for the 18-year, 3! per cent bonds, issued to begin the refunding of the short-term debt of more than $3.000,000,000, had been closed last night. An announcement of the actual amount of subscriptions and the basis of allotment will be made within a few days, probably Saturday morning. Subscriptions received by Federal Re- serve banks and the Treasury Depart- ment through the mails up to 10 o'clock this morning will be considered as hav- ing been received before the close of the subscription books The huge oversubscription surprised officials because the most optimistic of them had not expected the issue would be taken up more than three or four times. The $600.000.000 bond issue last 15 was oversubscribed four times. Officials expressed the private opinion that the oversubscription was due to tie anxiety of investors to have safe Government issues in which to place their funds and to the fact that bankers took advantage of the 3'. per cent interest to put their idle funds to work. Deficit Difficulties Met. The money derived from the sale of the bonds will be used to retire approx- imately $600.000.000 of the maturing Treasury certificates of indebtedness and to pay $90,000,000 in interest on the public debt. The oversubscription indicated to ex- perts that while the Government will end the current fiscal year with approx- imately & $1000.000.000 deficit, = will have no difficulty in raising all the funds it needs pending the return of business to normal. Indications are that the Treasury will sell another issue of bonds when the September financing is undertaken During July and August large blocks of certificates and bills mature, and while these may be met with issues of short- term paper. it is considered possible that the Treasury will refund more of the short-term debt at that time. If not then it is felt certain an additional bond issue will be announced in De- cember. The short-term debt now outstanding amounts to approximately $3.400,000,000 2nd through the use of the 18-vear bond ssue it will be reduced to approximatel $2,900,000,000. i d UPTURN IN STOCKS LED BY RAIL ISSUES Market Subjected to Profit-Taking in Early Trading, but Recovers.
