ONE ARMADA PLAN FORCED 0 ALICHT AT ROCKLAND, ME Remainder of Balbo’s Group Continues on Flight to New Brunswick. SHIPS LEAVE NEW YORK AMID MANY “VIVAS” Commander, Contrary to Usual| Custom, One of Last to Leave Seaplane Base. By the Associated Press. ROCKLAND, Me,, July 25.—One of | the 24 planes composing Gen. Italo! Balbo's air armada landed in Rock- | land harbor shortly before 1 p.m. (E. B. T.) today. Boats put out from the seaplane base here to assist the crew ®f the ship. At the time the single seaplane made fts unheralded visit, the other ships of the fleet were reported over Vinalhaven, a8 miles out to sea. The armada apparently was flying in two groups, with the second contingent Sbout 7 minutes behind the leaders. At Vinalhayen the fiyers had covered Bpproximately 375 miles of their 650- ‘mile trip to Shediac, New Brunswick. They had been averaging better than #26 miles an hour. The office of the seaplane base said fhe Italians apparently had been forced down by minor motor trouble. The erew moored the ship in the middle ©of the harbor and went to work to; make repairs. NEW YORK, July 25 (#).—Mackay | Radio reported this afternoon that the | Italian plane which was forced to | to alight in the Rockland, Me., harbor was the one commanded by Capt. Gallo. | Yoss of oil was given as the cause of the | forced landing. | The Mackay Co. said it was in com- munication with Capt. Gallo and that | be said he was ready to proceed as| soon as he could obtain some oil. ARMADA TAKES OFF. Zeaves New York When Reports of Fog | Lifting Are Received. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 25.—Gen. Italo | Balbo led his 24-plane armada of the air on toward Italy today, leaving the | seaplane base of Floyd Bennett Pleld for Shediac, New Brunswick, 650 miles away. The first plane was in.the air at 9:01 ! om. (Eastern standard time), and the | last at 9:13. Because it has been Gen. Balbo's eustom to lead the way into the air o every take-off of the long flight from Italy to Chicago and New York, it was supposed this morning that he was in the first plane to rise from the waters of Jamaica Bay, and was so reported. It was later determined, however, that the order of take-off had been most completely reversed and that| IGen. Balbo was in the twentieth! plane to leave the water. The other planes circled over the field untii the neral and the planes leaving after him were in the air and then, with Balbo in the lead, flew Away Second Lap of Return. It was sald the reversal of take-off lorder was decided on because of the [position of the planes in the inlet. This was the second lap of the return pight to Italy. Balbo's destinstion in | the United States on nis flight from Jtaly was Chicago, where he and his officers visited the Century of Progress Exposition last week. Then he flew here on the first lap of the flight home. He had intended to leave the sea- plane base of Floyd Bennett Field in Jamaica Bay yesterday, but weather prevented a take-off and it was post- poned unti! today. Early ather reports this morning 'were unfavorable, but when later re- ports told of fog over Maine clearing the word was given to start. Dr. James H. Kimball Government meteorologist reported to Gen. Balbo that weather conditions on the route to New Brunswick had improved. It was raining in Southern Maine, was cloudy in Northern Maine and partly| cloudy in New Brunswick, Dr. Kimball} i said. The last triad rose from the water | at 9:18 and the armanda, which had been circling over the field until alll lanes were in the air, flew away in yormauan toward the Northeast. There was a 25-mile headwind. There was a crowd of several thou- sand persons at the seaplane base and around the field administration building almost a mile away. A great cry of “viva Balbo” and “viva Italia” rose as the great armada reared away. Sust before the order for the take-off | was given Balbo himself was seen on the wing of his plane scanning the; horizon, which was slightly misted| with fog. He apparently decided this was not serious, however, and as soon 88 he returned to his position at the controls the order to fly was given. The Italians planned to make the $50-mile hop to Shediac in about five hours. They will rest there for a few| days before resuming their flight. Gen. Balbo will decide after he gets theui Wwhether to take the northern or the southern route across the Atlantic.

Italo Balbo, flying with his 24-plane armada from New York to New Brunswick on the way back to Italy, sent a message to President Roosevelt today expressing “devotion” and gratitude” for the’ “un- mistakable signs of friendship” shown the Italian flyers in America. ‘The message, made public by Mackay Radio, follows: “The President of the United States, ‘Washington, D.

Balbo also sent a message to Mayor O'Brien of New York tendering his “most fervid thanks” for the re- ceptions to the Italians here.

Negotiations for a wheat restriction agreement hung in the balance to- day with American representatives be- lieving some way of adapting the scheme to the requirements of each country would be found. At a joint meeting of delegates from wheat importing and exporting coun- tries today both the Prench and Italian representatives were described as of & much more favorable frame of mind| than previously. | Germany, while unable to reduce her | tariffs, indicated a willingness not to| increase acreage. | Aside from the wheat meeting, the hall in which World Economic Confer. | ence meetings are held was deserted this morning, although there will be‘ some renewal of activity with a Steering Committee Conference scheduled for late in the afternoon. Method Remains Problem. Wheat importers prepared & new | offer for submission to the exporters yesterday, after which some representa- tives were pessimistic about the possi- bility of arriving at a satisfactory agree- ment with the exporters. Today the “big four” wheat producers —the United States, Canada, Argentina and Australia—battled against time with the importing nations to force an agreement to co-operate in their scheme for adapting wheat consumption to production with the view of raising prices. “We must finish this in the next day or two because after Thursday we all go home,” said M. Gautier, the French wheat expert. The attitude of the importers was de- scribed as one of virtual agreement in principle to most of the conditions asked by the exporters. The argument now is over the method of expressing | th part each country will be asked to | play in the general scheme. Agreement by the importers to help the scheme would leave Russian exports as the only outstanding problem, and it was privately said among the ex- porters that this was not expected to give much trouble. Representatives of the exporting countries this aftrnoon agreed upon a text of complete new proposals to the importing countries and hoped a reply | change The WASHINGTON, D.

LARGER MARGINS TO BE DEMANDED OF INVESTORS Trading in Weekly and Daily In- demnities Eliminated at Conference Here. By the Associated Press. Farm administrators and representa- tives of grain exchanges today agreed tentatively to limit daily fluctuations in prices on wheat and other grains to 5 cents a bushel as a permanent policy. The agreement was reached before the close of a two-day conference, at which four principal changes in grain-market- ing practices were approved. The first, the daily fluctuation limit at 5 cents, in order to obtain final ap- proval, must be submitted for action to the Business Conduct Committees of the Chicago Board of Trade and exchanges at Minneapolis, Kansas City, Duluth and other points which ordinarily op- erate along rules similar to those at Chicago. Holdings Limited, ‘The second provisions will be the re- duction of the holdings of futures of any trader to & maximum volume, probably from 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 | bushels, the exact figure to be deter- mined later after exchanges have sur- veyed the situation. The third provision calls for in- creasing margins of traders. In this instance the exact figure was left un- determined and probably none will be fixed. Rules of the exchanges now re- quire that brokers insist upon “ade- quate margins” from traders. Farm administrators took the posi- tion that higher margins should be employed than have been in practice sudden increase in margin requirements and a depressing effect on prices. The fourth “reform” demanded by administrators and approved by the ex- representatives 1 be the elimination of trading in h weekly and daily indemnities. “This has al- ready been suspended by the Chicago Board and other exchanges as & result of insistence by fsrm administrators and the Grain Putures Administration. 8 Cents Present Limit. Since last Thursday limits on daily fluctuations to 8 cents a bushel on wheat, § cents on corn and 3 cents on oats have been employed under a spe- cial rule of the exchanges. Administrators informed Peter B. Carey, president of the Chicago Board of Trade, that President Roosevelt re- rded 8 cents as too large a margin of luctuation. ‘The 5-cent per bushel fluctuation will apply to wheat, rye and barley, with 4 cents on corn and 3 cents on oats. Formal Report Filed. In a formal report which represent- atives of exchanges signed and turned over to farm administrators they said: “It is our opinion in informal confer- ence that the action of the exchanges in limiting fluctuations in the futures markets and establishing minimum prices was a necessary act to meet a temporary emergency. but that such minimum price restrictions should be removed as soon as market conditions rermlt or _make it necessary and a imit on fluctuations of 5 cents per bushel on wheat, rye and barley; 4 cents on corn and 3 cents on oats should thereupon be put into effect as Ppermitted by existing exchange rules. “The elimination by the exchanges of trading in indemnities has removed one of the prime causes of excessive price movements. “To further avoid the recurrence of violent price changes the undersigned representatives of the different ex- changes will immediately recommend to their respective organizations earnest consideration of the following: “l. Changes in exchange rules to provide for permanent limitation of daily price fluctuations. . Limitations speculative commitments. “3. Adequate margin requirements, particularly as applied to 'increased r quirements for larger speculative com- mitments. “4.

STARTS DRIVE AGAINST KIDNAPERS Chicago Gang Chieftain and Others Closely Guarded Under Federal Law. By the Associated Press. MILWAUKEE, Wis., July 25.—The Federal Government was striking at the kidnap racket today—aiming at Roger ‘Toulxy. Chicago gang chieftain, and | three of his associates as the alleged ab- | ductors of William Hamm, jr., wealthy St. Paul brewer. ‘Touhy and his three lieutenants were closely guarded in the county jail here while the Government prepared to ask their removal to St. Paul, where they face charges of kidnaping Hamm. Hamm was seized near the Theodore Hamm Brewery, of which he is presi- dent, on June 15 and held nearly four days until payment of $100,000 ransom freed him. ‘The warrants naming Touhy and his m Willie S8harkey, Eddie McFadden and “Gloomy Gus” Schaeffer, were drawn under the new anti-kidnaping law. They charge interstate transpor- tation of Hamm, asserting he was taken from St. Paul “to the vicinity of Beloit and Janesville,” Wis. Melvin Purvis, chief of the United States Bureau of Investigation at Chi- cago, said the Government has positive identification of all four men. How- ever, Hamm said in St. Paul last night that he was not able to identify any of the four as the men who seized him June 15 and held him until payment of $100,000 ransom. ‘Touhy and his men were arrested at Elkhorn, Wis., last Wednesday after an automobile accident. Federal officers immediately took charge and without ceremony sped them to Chicago for questioning about the $50,000 kidnaping of John Factor, the speculator. Taken back to Elkhorn, fugitive from justice charges were served on the gangsters and they were brought on to Milwaukee. FEARS FOR O’CONNELL. Detective Believes Kidnapers Are of Killer Type.

HOUSTON, Tex., July 25.—The men- ace of & major flood spread over the Northern part of Eastern Texas today following rains that have averaged 15 to 23 inches since Saturday. Everywhere rivers and creeks washed out corn, cotton and watermelon crops. Carcasses of numerous animals were seen floating down the swift currents, an indication of heavy livestock loss. Loss at $1,500,000. Shelby County estimated its loss |would be around $1,000,000. Panola County’s damage will be around $500.- 000, it was thought. Other damage from Lufkin north to the Louisiana border will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars. 80 far there had been no loss of life reported. Five men., who had clung to branches of trees for four hours when traj by rising waters of Flat Fork Creek, were rescued about 8 p.m. yes- terday. hway and rail traffic around Center and Joaquin was at a standstill. Whole sections of roadway were washed o“:n on highways leading from these wns.

The Sabine River rose a foot during the night and was continuing this morn- ing. The Angelina and Neches Rivers were rising rapidly and “feeder” creeks were out of bounds in many sections. ‘Water swept over the lowlands, washing away all crops and drowning hundreds of head of live stock.

Union workers who help make cel- | luloid romances for Main street and the metropclitan Rialto left their jobs. their spokesmen said, because the stu- dios yesterday hired non-union men to replace the 665 sound technicians who struck Saturday midnight.
