THE SUNDAY STAR. WASHTINGTON, Dy 205 NAY - 32, 19 —PART OLE. CREDIT EXPANSION PLAN MAY SPREAD Federal Reserve Districts Watching Conference on Proiect in New York. WOMA! BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Plans for expanding credit boing made in the conierences at the Fece al Reserve Bank in New Yor: with the | full knowledge and approval of tie au- thorities here may, ii they work ot into a practicable’ proe t, spread to other Federal Reserve distric | Bricfly, the Federal iteserve System | has been buying Government securities | for several weeks, thus making aveilable | to the banks money that they had pre- | viously invested when bonds were lcw | What shall the bank do with the excess | of reserves—the proceeds of the bonds | they have been selling? The Federal | Reserve management thinks they shou'd | use the funds to make lcans to business, | to industry, to agriculiure. | Would Open Leans. But how does one s-t about making a banker lend when he docs not feel lik2 taking risks? He will wish to make unsound loans, to bz cure. Th> bank: aren’t being asked to do that But there are loans which normally would be made, which would be good risis, and yet the banks now hesitate. If they could be persuaded that the Recon- | struction Finance Corporation would, | in effect, act as a rediscount agency in case they found it necessary to get sup- port, and if they would venture maintain not as high degree of liquidity as they have felt necessary in the past. there would be a beginning of the proc=zs of lending ) But it takes two parties to have a Joan. There must be borrowers. And Wwhile there may be plenty of people wishing to borrow who do not have the security or collateral, there are a great many who can afford to borrow but who hesitate because of the un- certainty of the future. So the conference of bankers and business leaders in New York is signjfi- | cant of a desire to find a way to stimu- | late borrowing on the part of those who | should borrow and lending on the part of those who should lend. When cap- jtal is thus made available, business operations may begin to expand or at least they may cease their deflation and curtailment, which has led in the past to constantly diminishing employment and constantly reduced pay rolls for those employed. Meet Is Challenge. The meeting in New York is a chal- Jenge to American business and bank- ing genius. The conferences are wholly economic and are much better con- aucted in the metropolis than in the political atmosphere of ‘Washington. Gov. Eugene Meyer, head of the Fed- eral Reserve system and chairman of the board of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, is in New York. The Con- gress here is watching developments and is for the moment trying to agree | on emergency powers for the Recon- struction Finance Corporation and the flotation of bond issues for self-liqui- deting projects. Psychologically the situation has reached the point where Government ana business each knows there is a crisis on hand and that early action is recessary to prevent further disintegra- i of morale. There prevails the greatest hope that constructive meas- ures now are in the making. IN KENTUCKY HOME| Leave Train in Indiana and Motor to Winchester to Surprise Friends. By the Associated Press. WINCHESTER, Ky., May 21—Slip- ping into Winchester secretly late to- |- day, Lieut. and Mrs. Thomas Massie had | dinner at the home of the naval offi- | cer's mother tonight before their many Iriends learned of their arrival. | It had been two years since Massie | had seen his mother, Mrs. W.

Representatives of the private grain trade recently suggested that the board turn over its remaining supply to it for disposal. This was flatly rejected by Chairman Stone at a conference at- tended by Senator Watson of Indiana, the Republican leader, and Secretary of Agriculture Hyde, among others ‘The board feels its policy contains solution of wunloadirg thte sing ef- fect upon the market. steadfastly followed since I u The present supply approximites 95,000,000 bushels of actual cash whe lus between 25,000,000 and 30,000,000 ushels in futures Every effort upon the part of the private grain trade or members of !

The Surprises Not Surprising FLYER NOTED FOR EXPECTED.” AMELIA EARHART PUTNAM. By the As: ed Press. EW YORK, May surprices _is Amelia 21— Creating ng new fo: utnam. It may have been a coinci- denee that she took off from Harbor Grace on the fifth anniversary of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh’s solo flight to Paris; it may have been a coincidence that she landed at Cul- more, Northern Ireland. five years to the day after Col. Lindbergh landed in Paris; but it was not so much a con- cidence thot her plans became known after she was in the air Four yeers ago, on June 3, a tri- motored monoplane roared over th2 waters at Bostcn, but not until it was in the air did it become known that a social settlement worker, Amelia Mary Earhart, was 2board to b>come the first woman to fly the Atlantic. Left Putnam Behind. Then, as now, George Palmer Put- nam was left behind, though this time as the husband of the noted aviatrix where four years ago he had charg: of arrangements in America for th2 backer, Mrs. Frederick Guest. Coincidences do not end there. Mrs. Putnam lists her permanent ad- dress at Rye, N. Y. A year ago an- cther noted aviatrix. Ruth Nichols, aiso of Rye, headed for Harbor Grace, New- foundland, with ambitions to become the first woman two fly the Atlantic alone. Injured and defeated by a crash, she left the field open. But there are new aspects of this flight—the main one of which is ex- | perience. Born July 24, 1898, in Atchison, Kans., Mrs. Putnam learned to fly in California when she was 22 years old. Her instructor was a former Army tutor, John Montijo, and for three years she learned by flying from an abandoned field near Los Angeles and at Glen- dale, Calif. pilot’s license of the Federation Aero- nautique Internationale, world govern- ing body of sporting aviation, and be- came the woman to receive a certifi- e from the Nati'nal Aeronautic As-! sociation, of which she now is a vice president and member of the contest board. She rode as a passenger on her first Atlantic venture, Wilmer Stultz being the pilot. and Lou Gordon the mechanic, | and it was not until nine months after- ward that she applied for a Government license. When she did apply for the highest rating, that of transport pilot, she listed | her solo flight time under 500 hours; now she can point to a total of more than 1,200 She is blonde and gray-eyed, of slen- der build, is nearly 5 feet 8 inches tall, and still is called “Lady Lindy,” not fcr hopping, but because of her re- semblance to Col. Lindbergh. Liked Social Work. Educated at a Philadelphia boarding school, Columbia, Harvard and the Uni- versity of California, she has mastered five languages. As a soclal settlement worker, <he continued her interest in this line after she had beccme famous and many times was found in Green- wich Vilage among a group of chil-| dren. On her first flight, the first word of its success came from Capt. George Fried of the steamship America, who was plying southeast of Queenstown when the Friendship roared over the water and circled to drop notes request- |ing a bearing. Mrs. Putnam said she lay on her “tummy” to get a picture of the ship before they proceeded to a landing at Bury Estuary, Wales. It was the same Capt. Fried 0, aboard the President Roosevelt, rescued Lou Reich- ers on May 13 off the southern tip of Ireland when the speed flier was cn a leg of a projected round trip New York- During this period she qualified for a Paris flight. ADMIRAL SAITO IS APPOINTED NEW JAPANESE PREMIER (Continued Prom First Page) dents and consuls live. The American colony on that island is very small. Be- sides the consul and his staff there are | barely 20 Americans living there. There is an important missionary establish- ment in Amoi proper, but they are re- ported to have declined any military assistance, being convinced that they would not be harmed by the Com- munists In certaln quarters the wisdom of such a landing is questioned. During the difficult stages of the Civil War in China, in 1927, and especially during the anti-foreign moves along the Yangtze River, the American Navy | not found it necessary to land a force as a preventive measure. While the Brit- ish and the Japanese have sent a con- siderable number of troops to protect the life and property of their citizens and their extra territorial rights at Hankow and other places, the American Government has never associated itself with any such move. It may be that under the present cir- cumstances. when the movement in Southern China is purely communistic, a landing of American forces is neces- rary. But many conversant with the real situation in China are of the opin- ion that the landing of sailors as a pre- cautionary move before any overt act of molestation of Americans has oc- curred is a mistake. The situation at Kulangsu is not be- lieved to require a landing operation An incursion of the Communists in Kulangsu could be prevented easily by careful patrolling of the channel which separates Hanoi from the island which is the headquarters of the International Settlement. Three Records Putnam Marks Amelia Earhart Established on Flight. By the Assoclated Press NEW YORK, May 21.—A hart Putnam is 1. The first woman ever to fly plane across the Atlantic. 2.

Mrs. Putnam, a vice president of the Ludington Lines, borrowed the mono- plane put in service last January. Dur- ing the four months it flew 33,000 miles. About a_month ago Mrs. Put- nam had it withdrawn to be recondi- tioned and remodeled for her success- ful Atlantic flight. The Lockheed-Veagn monoplane was equipped to carry six passengers and pilot, but iis sesoline sapacity was limit- ed to only sufficient gascline for five hours’ flight. To provide for gas suffi- cient for the transatlantic flight, it was necessary to fill the cabin with extra gas tanks as well as to make other adjustments for safer flying. During its Washington-Norfolk serv- | ice the plane was known as No. 34. HEADS CATHOLIC PRESS Ga., Editor Is Chosen President of Association. BUFFALO, N.

The horses bolted and the plowman had a hard time getting | them back at their business. Late tonight Mrs. Putnam sent her apologies to the man, but they were not needed. He had learned that the | plane which cime on him like a bolt | by the blue had crossed the Atlantic | and was piloted by a woman—so every- thing was all right. Hard to Find Her. The arrival of the slim, blonde, 33- year-old airwoman was so unexpected | that even the Londonderry police had a hard time finding her when they learned she had put their community in the all-time log of big aviation feats. Mr. Gallagher first took her to the Elms, the home of Mrs. Francis McClure, a prominent Londonderry woman, and from there she sent out | the messages that let the world know she was safe. It was in Londonderry that she got her first taste of public acclaim. A | great crowd gathered about her as she | was starting back to have one mcre | look at the plane that brought her | across. Mayor McCorkell broke through | the ring of well-wishers, shook her | hand and exclaimed, “You've done an | amazing thing!” Mrs. McClure was much impressed | by her unexpected guest. | “She didn’t seem a bit perturbed or | anxious,” she said. “She didn't show any signs of strain or fatigue. She first had to wash and brush up and | then she went back to her plane. “Outwardly she was quite calm, but | really she was very excited at making the crossing. When every one began to rush up and congratulate her she took | it all with a little smile.” Hurried Back to Bed. When the round of felicitations was over, Mrs. Putnam hurried back to the Gallanger farm and went happily to bed. She left word to be called early, i(or she wanted to start her flight to | England at dawn. In addition to setting a speed record, | the airwoman put herself in a special niche, for no one else ever flew from America to Europe and then went back and did it over again Her other crossing was in June. 1928 That time she was a passenger.

LONDON, May 21 (#).—Lord Lon- donderry, secretary of state for air, told Mrs. Amelia Earhart Putnam in a long telephone conversetion with her to- night that England was eager to wel- come her after her solo flight across the Atlantic. “She was quite happy and cheerful.” Lord Londonderry said after he h-d telephoned to Ireland, where she landed today. “While T was talking to her she seemed little worse for her arduous ex- perience and was quite happy and cheerful,” the air minister added. Wonderful Achievement. “Person?lly, I think it was a won- derful achievement on her part to fly the Atlantic the way she has done, and I told her that from the point of view of aviation everybody is proud of her and that we are anxious to welcome | her.” Great Britain rang with praises of Mrs. Putnam tonight. Late editions of the afternoon news- papers spread the news of her flight over their front pages, and the story of her achievement was spread by word of mouth throughout the country. Summing up the national feeling, the Sunday Express will say tomorrow in an editorial headed “A Great Girl": “Miss Earhart is the first woman to fly the Atlantic alone.
