TWO AMERICANS INAIR CRASH DEAD Bound for Bucharest, Seven Aboard Blazing Plane Die in Bulgarian Forest. By the Associated Press. SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 25.—Two Americans, Miss Pauline Kast, 28 years old, of Cleveland, Ohlo, and Rutgers Barclay, 32 years old, of New York, were killed with five others when the passenger airplane in which they were riding took fire in mid-air and crashed into a forest near Kurudjevo yesterday. The other victims were believed to be two British passengerz, the Norwegian consul general in Constantinople and two pilots, one Prench and one ‘Turkish. What caused the disaster was unas- certainable tonight. The plane which belonged to the Compagnie Interna- tionale de Navigation Aeruenne, left Constantinople for Bucharest yester- day morning with the five passengers and two pllots. It was reported to have been seen blazing in mid-air near Kurudjevo, and it now lies in a charred heap in the thick forest, surrounded by blackened trees. The occupants had no chance to escape, it was belleved. The bodies, also charred and muti- lated. were found entangled in the wreckage. All papers and luggage of the passengers were completely burned, making the task of identification very difficult. Bulgarian authorities have opened an inquiry into the disaster.

Reichsbank circdfes intimated this process must be slow and gradual so as not to encourage bank runs by re- moving all restrictions at once. In the | course of the next week some of these restrictions will be taken off and nor- mal banking business will be resumed, it is hoped. in the early days of Au- gust, now that the Reichsbank will be relieved of the end-of-the-month pres- sure by the Boerse Committee's de- cision to postpone settling day from July 31 to August 31. May Raise Rediscount Rate. Reports were current this afternoon that the Reichsbank had decided to raise the discount rate from 10 per cent to 20 per cent, but no official con- firmation was forthcoming and it gen- erally was agreed that such a measure, if taken, would have to coincide with the removal of restrictions and not be- fore. Banking statistics available today showed that six leading Berlin banks in June alone were called upon to repay 1,113,000,000 marks (about $278,000,- 000) to creditors, which was materially increased by July withdrawals. Next Monday the Reichbank's beard will take important decisions on the measures to be adopted as the next step toward restoring normal condi tions in the banking world as much as possible, It was understood that arrangements were well under way to form a German syndicate co-operating with a London withdrawals of credits from Germany “freezing commission” whereby further will be effectively halted. Secretary Stimson took pains to point out to American correspondents scarcely an hour before joining the German cabinet ministers, foreign office representatives and the acting chiefs of the German Army and Navy at Am- bassador Sackett's dinner table that his visit was purely for the purpose of ac- quaintance and re-acquaintance Wwith Berlin which he has not seen since childhood, and with the leaders of the German nation. To avoid any misunderstandings, the Secretary of State put it in writing as follows: “I have come to Berlin in pursuance of my plan, announced before I left America. of visiting the capitals Italy, France, Germany and England and becoming acquainted with the gentlemen representing the foreign of- fices of those countries. “The unexpected call to the recent London conferences deflected me there when I was intending to come to Berlin here. “I'm very glad to come and see Berlin, however, as I have not visited it since I was a child, and the pleasant acquaint- ance, which I have formed with Chancellor Bruening and Dr. Curtius m London makes the visit still more at- tractive. I am looking forward with great interest to my call on President Von Hindenburg, which honor I am to have Monday morning. I am very sorry that, owing to the shortness of my visit, Mrs. Stimson was unable to come with me. I shall have to leave for my re- turn on Monday afternoon.” The Secretary parried all questions as to ge possibility of his discussing fur- th-= credits during his week end in Berlin with: “I certainly do not anticipate that any such matters will be brought up. Those subjects were fully discussed at the London conference and by the action of that conference agencies were provided for in the shape of committees and bankers, by which any remaining questions will be dealt with on a bank- ing basis.” subject would be brought up here. ‘To the general question “Are you more of your experiences in Europe?” he an- swered that that question should be saved until he sails.

WARREN, Pa, July 25—Fire to- night destroyed three 2,500-barrel stor- age tanks of the United Refinery Co. here, and was controlled only after fire departments from throughout this section of Northwestern Pennsylvania and nearby New York had fought it for more than four hours. Five men were burned slightly in seeking to check the blaze. Refinery officials said they believed the fire started in an agitator in the plant. ‘The refinery stands in a compara- tively thickly populated section of the east end of Warren.

C, JULY 26, 1 FRANCO-GERMAN TENSION 1S EASED Stimson Hails Improvement, But Washington Is Skeptical. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. On the eve of leaving London for his present week end visit to Berlin, Secre- tary Stimson telephoned President Hoover that the great outstanding re- sult of the seven-power debt conference was a lessening in Franco-German fric- Col. Stimson he was author- ized to make that important statement by no other than M. Pierre Laval, prime minister of France. It was not under- stood at the White House that the gun- fiwder has been fully extracted from anco-German relations, but the Lon- don meeting materially relieved the situation of explosiveness. It did not usher in an era of final accord between | Paris and Berlin. What it did do, in Premier Laval's words, was to lay the | foundations of a “reign of confidence” such as has not existed in many a year. France Holds Key. ‘The Hoover administration, having taken the lead within the last 90 days in the fields both of disarmament and German economic restoration, has brought to realize by recent events that a Franco-German rapprochement is essential to any real results in either of those direetions. France holds the key to each of the two situations. She is the strongest military power in Europe, as well as the richest. Until the French re willing to reduce armaments, there is no practical vse in discussing the subject. France has just officially noti- fied the League of Nations that the sub- Jject will remain undebatable from her standpoint until the French are offered something to take the place of fortifi- cations, machine guns, battle cruisers and bombing planes. Paris makes no bones about the “guarantees” she would demand in ex- change for demolished forts, spiked guns, scrapped warships and demol- ished aircraft. These “guarantees” center almost exclusively around Ger- many. Strange as it may sound to American ears, it is dismembered, dis- armed and bankrupt Germany that France fears, rather than Great Brit- ain with her mighty navy or Italy with | a formidable army and fleet. It is not | the Germany of 1931 that the French | are thinking about. It is the Germany of 1941 or 1951 or 1961 that they have in mind. France's anxieties are of the future, not of the present. The ancient foe across the Rhine is on his | knees today. But how long will he be there? The answer is, just as long as the French can keep him there. They intend that it shall be a very long time. France's implacable de- mand for “security” means security | against the Germany that some day, the French are persuaded, will seek a war of revenge. Aristide Briand Missed. | As long as Aristide Briand was a power in French governments, there | was always a strong hope that ways |and means would be found for adjust- ing relations with Germany on a basis | of mutual accommodation. That hope took wings in May of this year when M Briand was overwhelmingly de- | feated for the Presidency of the French republic. Looked upon for months before as M. Doumergue's cer- tain succeasor, Briand was suddenly | undone by the announcement of the German-Austrian tariff union_project. As matters have turned out, Germany was inept in launching that scheme at | the time she did, for it removed from real power the one French statesman |devoted to the cause of Franco- | German _reconciliation. Briand, after saying he would not return to the foreign minister’s post, consented to | do 50 after his defeat for the Presi- | dency. With that decision, his influ- ence waned to the vanishing point. Today it is the Laval-Tardieu-Poincare Nationalist spirit that pervades Franco- German relations, not the conciliatory spirit of Aristide Briand. Throughout the late Hoover debt-extension nego- | tiations, Briand was a totally impotent figure. He took part in conferences, but not as the old Briand. He was a tiger with his claws trimmed. A Washington statesman, prominent in recent activities, opined to this writer that if Briand had retained his former authority in the French government | the Hoover debt suspension accord would have been fixed up in four days instead of three weeks. He added that | the existing credit situation in Ger- many would be correspondingly easier, and foreign inclination to help in keep- ing with a Briand, instead of a Laval, were directing French foreign policy. French Policy Clear. France may not immediately press her claims, but the basic items in her disarmament and economic program are these: 1. Germany must cease conspiring for the abolition ot the Polish corridor which cuts across and divides East Prussia for the purpose of giving Poland access to the sea. The recent demon- stration of the “Steel Helmets," Ger- man_ex-service men's orgenization, &t Breslau, in favor of “wiping out" the Polish corsidor, gave deep offense in France. France is Poland’s military and financial ally. #rench francs have been put to work along Germany’s pres- | ent _eastern frontier just as they for- merly were put to work in Russia—to guarantee the French a military ally in that quarter in the event of another war. 2. Germany must indefinitely post- pone, if not wholly give up, the idea of tariff Anschluss with Austria in vi lation, as the French claim, of the treaty of Versallles. Czechoslovakia is the military and financial ally of France, just as Poland is. German- Austria tariff union threatens the eco- nomic life of the Czechoslovaiians, they claim. France is at bat to prevent any such calamity befalling her little entente associate. 3. Germany must give evidence of her peaceful intents in Europe by giv- ing up the idea of a strong navy, even along the iimited lines she is entitled to pursue. The French speeifically object to the Germans constgucunz ex- pensive “pocket battleships, cach the equivalent of any two so-called cruisers in any other navy, while the Reich pre- NAVY REINFORCES “GAG” RULE TO PROTECT ITS SECRETS Secretary Adams Forbids Officers and Employes Ex-. plaining Fire Control and Spotting to Outsiders. Navy “gag” rules prohibiting officers from giving out for publication infor- mation regarded as naval secrets were reinforced yesterday by issuance of a new regulation "“""‘"f, “utmost_se- crecy” in connection with all gas war- fare and gun-fire control material. This new ordey of Secretary Adsms, adding to a long list of censorshi) orders issued by the department, fol- lowed publication in The Star Friday of an article revealing development by the Army Chemical Warfare Service of a method of dispersing deadly “mustard” gas by airplane. It specifically forbids officers to ex- lain to persons not oonnected with he naval service the system of fire control and spotting used in firing guns. Loaning or demonstrating to such persons any instruments or de- scriptive matter relating to fire con- trol or warfare material also is Drflhtbn‘iu The restrictions apply to represent- atives of private companies having contracts for such material as well to naval personnel, and can be only in the discrection of the chief of the Bureau of Ordnance. Adams in an order about two weeks ago forbade all officers to reveal to the press any matters discussed in execu- tive conference. This order was leved prompted by publication of changes ordered in the design of new cruisers, following detection of flaws in eight of those bullt since 1929. ‘The Navy's efforts to prevent publi- cation of news from the department is not a new venture. For years its Sec- retaries have been attempting to im- pose censorships of one form or another on the ‘press. A year ago Adams, disgruntled at newspaper stories .concerning proposed plans of the Navy General d to recommend a huge cruiser and aircraft building program, sent to each bureau chief a letter prohibiting publication of y news not approved by the Secretary and dssued through regular depart- mental Prw channels. This was com- plled with. for some time, but lately has been more or less ignored by high officers. be- HEAT OF TIB KILLS 17 IN SOUTHWEST California and Arizona Bake in 15-Day Torrid Wave Due to Linger.

President Hoover was called upon vesterday by Senator McKellar, Demo- crat, of Tennessee, in a public state- ment to devote his energies to “restor- vng prosperity to America.” He described the President’s move to ald Germany as a “failure” and as- serted “the American people will view with distrust any further effort by this administration to ald Europe while Amgrican citizens suffer.” He advocated an immediate reduc- tion in the American tariff as the first step and warned against any effort by this Government to lend money to Ger- many, DIES IN TRAIN MISHAP PARIS, July 25 (#) —Mrs. C.

Germany must suppress the vet- erans’ organdzations which are inciting the people of the Reich, especially the 1ising generation, to pet ready for an- other war with France; to tear up the ireaty of Versallles and to reject the Young plan. Friction Persistent. Premier Laval and Chancellor Bruen- ing may chant about a new confidence” between their respective peoples, but both statesmen know— as even remote Washington knows— | that the fundamentals of Franco-Ger- man friction will persist until the above-tabulated issues are met or com- promised. France, with 25 per cent of the world’s gold supply, is determinéd to use it to the limit to promote French | international purposes. It is a mighty ‘weapon. It has grappled Poland, Ru- mania, Czechoslovakia and Jugoslavia to her side. It is even a club which the French wield over Great Britain because of the $750,000,000 in gold they have on deposit there, and the with- drawal of any considerable portion of which might produce grave effects in London. French gold is at Germany's disposal, too, but at & heavy price. ‘Will the Germans ever pay it?

By the Associated Press. R ry] MEXICO CITY, July 25.—It is learned | from a reliable source that steps taken by bankers meeting at the treasury department today to settle the exchange problem include the abolition of the double “standard of currency. This would leave silver the only legal tender in Mexico, and reduce gold coin to the status of merchandise. No official state- ment has been made, however. Under the arrangement as unofficially reported all bills now coniracted in gold | will be payable in silver, peso for peso, and the banks will be obliged to pay in | gold anly 30 per cent of deposits in that | coin, paying the rest in silver. | The Bank of Mexico, it was sald, would retire as a competitive bank and become a federal reserve with the co- operation of all other banks in business in Mexico. ’ Committee Appointed. A committee consisting on one repre- sentative of the government, one from the Bank of Mexico and one each from five leading banks has been named, it was said, as a supervising committee to keep a check on the reserves on hand in the Bank of Mexico. ‘The reserve in the Bank of Mexico, it was asserted, will be in gold and silver bars and a large issue of silver notes is likely to be made later, although not | immediately. | It is learned that the plan was ap- proved by both houses of Congress today and was made known to the | bankers at a meeting at the treasury department this afternoon. | _ The plan will be published in the of- | ficial gazette Monday as a law, it was | said, and will go into effect immediately. | The plan for curing the monetary ills | of Mexico followed close on the heels | of the appointment of Plutarco Elias Calles as president of the Bank of Mex- ico. Calles, who is known as a man of action. was called to the position when the silver peso was rapidly sinking and an alarm spread through business circles. He assumed the post yesterday. Free Gold Movement. | _ While the plan was expected imme- | diately to remedy the falling exchangs of silver against gold, the improvement | in exchange of silver against dollars, it | was thought, would probably be a slow- | er_process. | The plan also includes a declaration | for the free import and export of minted |or bar gold. Minting gold money is strictly Iarombiled as is minting silver | pieces of one peso denomination. Silver | twos s)eso pieces are withdrawn from | eirculation and holders given six months | to exchange them. ‘The plan, it was said, was included in a report of banking and monetary laws, approved by Congress today. These | reforms give the Bank of Mexico power to issue paper and silver currency up to double the amount of the reserve on hand, whereas up to now it was re- quired that the banks have a reserve equal to the full amount of the bills issued. As a federal reserve institution the bank has full rediscount powers to which other banks have agreed. SEEK NEW RECORD Post and Gatty After Mark in Speedy Book Issue.

Gibbons left Bristol, the final control point, at the same moment as Edwards. ‘The six women entrants fared badly, only one completing the course and she far_behind the leaders. One 19-year-old girl was Phyllis Salaman, owner of and passenger in a pale blue light plane piloted by Lieut. Geoffrey Rodd, which finished third and was awarded a special prize for the best time over the course. Its average was 127.5 miles an hour, The race was run on a handicap basis.
