Accepts i $110,600 on Debt. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. A certain amount of flurry was cavead today in diplomatic circles in ‘Wast ton, when it was known that th: United States Treasury had ac-; cepted last week the sum of $110,000 rom the Greek government as a debt | payment.

We have reed with the French that the Ges ans should continue to pay the ur ditional amounts into the Bank of | International Settlements. By this | very fact the requirements of the law in France are satisfied. Parliament Not Concerned. The French Parliament cannot say that the French government has over- | the provisions of the law since ermany does pay the money it owes into the bank. How the government invests that money is not the business of the French Parliament. The French government, in accepting the Hocver plan, has agreed that the amount paid by Ger- many should be reloaned to the Ger- man railways at a certain rate of in- terest. The French government is mak- ing consequently, from the legal point of view, an investment in Germany which does not need the approval cf the Chamber and the Senate. The Laval cabinet has pledged itself to make this investment and is mnot likely to go back on their solemn prom- ise. Consequently the administracion feels confident that the Hoover pro- posal, as far as the immediate pay ments by Germany is concerned, will enforced before the technicians havz finished discussing the many important details.

Vesterday a three-hour conference was held with officials of the United States Lines at Shipping Board head- | quarters here and various proposals for relief were advanced by Paul W.

It was learned that t'e disarmament memorandum probably will be commu- nicated to the Leagus of Nations some { time soon and alsy to the several gov ernments, including the United States, which will participate in the meeting at Geneva next February.

LONDON, July 10 (#).—The British Britain DOMESTICRELEF URGED BY LEWS Senator-elect Asks Hoover to Provide ‘Moratoriufm’ for United States. By the Assoclated Press. The administration was urged today by Senator-elect Lewis of Illinois to consider domestic relief, since the Hoo- ver intergovernmental debt-suspension agreement has been reached. Lewis proposed an extra session of Congress to ratify the debt-holiday plan and asserted that “it is time some American official did something for America.” Domestic Relief Urged. ‘The Democrat added the President should immediately make provision to give the business man, the farmer and city laborer of this country “their mora- torium and relief by providing work and food and credit to the United States.” At _the same time Senator Watson, the Republican leader, challenged Sen- ator Robinson, the Democratic leader, to “assume the leadership in a fight to make a ‘serious revision’ of the present tariff law.” The Arkansas Democrat recently criticized the Smoot-Hawley tariff act. ‘Watson declared in a statement through the Republican National Committee that “facts show there has been no ‘slaughter’ of either our export or im- port trade because of the tariff.” Asserting President Hoover had set an example of leadership in seeking to better existing conditions, the Indiana Republican declared: “It is too bad that at such a time Senator Robinson cannot see his way clear to emulate the President's ex- ample instead of making it the occa- sion and the excuse to indulge in shop- wvorn and discredited charges about the tariff.” U.

NOME, 'Alaska, July 10.—Their at- tempted non-stop flight from Seattle to Tokio having ended near here in failure, Reg L. Robbins and Harcld S. Jones of Texas today planned an early return to the United States to try it again. Robbins and Jones brought their monoplane Fort Worth to earth at Sclomon, 30 miles east of here, early yesterday, after having covered about 2,100 miles of the 5,100-mile route and having connected several times with their trimotered refueling plane, piloted by J. J. Mattern and Nick Greener. After a long rest, Robbins and Jones announced, they would use the Fort Worth for their second attempt, but would install a larger engine. They sald the same trimotored ship would | be used for refueling. Plane Became Unwieldy. In explanation of the sudden ter- mination of their flight, Robbins said the Fort Worth had become unwieldy after 300 gallons of gas had been taken aboard in_high winds. 1t was impossible to hold the mono- | plane in contact with the refueler, he | said, to take aboard sufficient gasoline to complete the 3,000-mile flight to Japan. The other refuelings near Fairbanks and on the way to Norton | Sound had been successful The Fort Worth had not been in the air in test flights before leaving the United States with a capacity load of 435 gallons which the fiyers had planned to take aboard from their re- fucler over Siberia. Several attempts were made to fill the Fort Worth’s fuel tanks above Nome, but the weight of the gas and the high winds baffled them, Robbins said. A larger engine in the Fort Worth, he said, would have prevented the trouble Flying here with the refueling crew in the refueler yesterday, Jones and Robbins had a_long sleep after having been 26 hours 53 minutes in the air on their hop from Seattle. Arising, they ate heartil Weather Delays Return. Bad flying weather to Fairbar vented their take-off for Sea they said they return to the United States as possible Earlier in the day they had said they would scll the Fort Worth if possible s pre- tle, but failure in the quest f offered by a Japanese ne the first non-stop flight bet and Japan. Four previous other fiyers, two by Harold Bromley, Tacoma, also have failed. “It's tough,” Robbins said, “but we couldn’t see any other way out, and the weather was so bad and visibility nil, we would have killed ourselves outright in attempting to get through. {FLYERS MEET DIFFICULTY ON HOMEWARD JOURNEY Hillig and Ho! cial Plane After Missjng Liner at Bremerhaven.

July 10.—Otto merican re having al- etting home by to Charter Spe- ‘This {s the efghth and last installment in a life story of Wiley Post. The pre- vious installments traced the rise of a farm boy through oil well drilling, ga- rage work, barnstorming and test pilot- ing to his big moment—-the start of his flight around the world. (Copyright, 1931, by the Associated Press.) Once he was out over the Atlantic, a wondering world feverishly followed | the flight of Wiley Post and the cream- colored Winnie Mae. Through fog, snow and rain, fair| weather and foul, flying sometimes low | and others high, Post stoutly stuck to the stick while Navigator Harold Gatty sent through earpieces the tale his instruments told. Names and people strange to the one- time Texas farm lad disappeared on the rapidly running curve the Winnie Mae was describing. Past Chester, Berlin, Moscow, Novo- sibirsk, Irkutsk, Blagovestchensk—and on around the rest of the circle Wiley fought off fatigue and sleep and other obstacles. Twice his Winnie Mae bog- ged on landing, to be freed only after | titanic tugging. Virtues That Make Skill. From a potent physique, the heritage of Southwest ploneers, which work on farm, in machine shops and on oil wells had rippled with steel muscles, Wiley drew for the mightly energy nec- essary to fulfill his dream. Years at the controls as a test pilot, a national air derby winner and a barnstormer | brought ripe skill. His loss of an eye months before he was given a pilot's license, & spur_to him “to be particularly careful in fly- ing” as well as his admitted “sense of | | feel,” also contributed to the trium- | phant tour of the Winnie Mae. With 14 great hops behind him, and | | only about 15 hours of sleep to his | credit, he rode out of the sunset to ‘R(wsuelt Field 8 days 15 hours and | | 51 minutes after the Winale Mae had | left it. | | "He had eclipsed the earth-circling | record of the Graf Zeppelin by 12 days | |15 hours, 35 minutes The world rec-| ord of Magellan's ship in 1519 was left 1,074 days behind. New York gave him and Gatty the acclaim reserved only for the most il- | lustrious heroes. ~World-known digni- | tarles joined famed air argonauts in |lauding the feat. Past thronging thou- sands, Post, the one-time air circus | performer who did ‘“death-defying | stunts” in sparsely populated sections | | of the Southwest, was glory-borne, the | target of proud eyes. Weary, but happy, the man who wanted only sleep” when he thundered home, waved often as he rode up New York's trail for the mighty. This aviator who got his first train- ing as a wing welker and parachute jumper was called & “citizen of the world.” His pretty young wife, with whom he | eloped about four years ago in a plane, was on hand to tell her pride with hugs and kisses and little joyful shrieks. From her Maysville, Okla., home came the “delight” of & mother that her boy “had realized his_dream”; the “boy” who, as a little fellow, was “full of pranks” and preferred reading adven- ture booX: ard chinery with his eyes on the skies kering with any kind of ma- to going to schdol. | Sponsor Proud of Men, F. C. Hall, the ofl man who backed him, was t to let his know e was “the best pilot in the and the flight was “the greatest of all time.” | | To the National Capital Wiley went with his pal Harold to gather more laurels and to receive acclaim led by President Hoover and Vice President | Curtis. | Then to Oklahoma, his adopted State, he flew with his navigator for the home folks to have their say about the young man who made good in the air. It was here that the barefooted, freckled-faced boy, who as a 32-year-old man_carved | high his niche in_aviati hall of fame, caught from the Wiight brotners’ | experiments at Kitty Hawk the air urge | that subsequently sent him shooting like a meteor through the skies. It was in this section that he flew his | first owned plane, an old Canuck. Here | he often wing-walked his way while on- lookers almost breathless stood with fixed gaze on his plane. Home at _last was Wiley Post, the youth who had a dream to “do some- thing big in aviation developed withdrawn from service and laid up at a nominal charge by the Government. The Shipping Board is informed by the shipping group that generous as- sistance is required now to enable it to ithstand the economic situation.
