U.5.TREASURY TRIO WILL VISIT EUROPE Secretary, Aides Expected - Not to Close Ears to Stabilization Talk. By the Associated Press. With both Secretary Morgenthau &nd his ace advisor, Herman Oliphant, planning early European trips, the TTreasury will be equipped soon for & personal reading of the Old World’s economic and financial temperature. In addition, George C. Haas, direc- tor of research and statistics, is sail- 1ng shortly to loo.. into conditions and developments in Scandinavia, just as other Treasury representatives keep the department informed of business situations in other sectors of the globe. The Treasury took pains yesterday to assert that bvth Oliphant, its gen- eral counsel, and Haas were venturing abroad on specific missions. Neither, it was said, has authority to conduct negotiations with another government. At the same time it reiterated that Morgenthau'’s still tentative plans are for a vacation and rest. They con- template, it was said, no conversa- tions with representatives of other powers. Nevertheless, the Treasury’s door al- ‘ways is open to stabilization proposals from other nations, and it was con- sidered hardly probable that Morgen- thau and Oliphant would close their ears and eyes to information on this vital subject. Oliphant’s purpose, it was said, is to make some researches on tariffs and customs. However, he is deeply in- terested in all developments relating to the monetary situation and is, in fact, author of much of the New Deal's monetary legislation, especially that relating to silver. As for stabilization and its prospects, officials generally regard Great Britain as holding the key. When she is ready to resume the gold standard, the consensus is, then and not before will stabilization become actual. With relation to foreign exchange, the Treasury contends America al- ready is on an international gold standard. There has been a virtu- ally free flow of that metal both into and out of the country as the require- ments of International trade and foreign exchange rates have dictated. ‘This flow, however, has been almost exclusively to America. Other nations were told several months ago that the United States would be glad to consider their sta- bilization proposals. This was done in a speech by Morgenthau; but. he added, the United States is ready to match them in a monetary contest if that is Europe’s desire.

NASHVILLE, Tenn., September 7.— Employing rotating blades, a plow which its developers claim will turn al furrow 10 inches deep, double the usual depth, was demonstrated to| newspaper men here today. The machine was built mainly from discarded automobile parts by Charles ‘Waterston, mechanical employe of the Nashville Banner. It has three mechanically driven ro- tating blades which not only dig into but pulverize the soil, and Waterston said it leaves a series of small trenches through whict. water can seep.
