Deflation Is Orderly. By f nil** Prem LONDON, May 6,—Ambassador i Andrew W. Mellon refuted recent wild rumors concerning conditions in the United States when he spoke at a private luncheon given in his honor today at the mansion house iby the lord mayor, Sir Maurice i Jenks. “The deflation of America is pro- : ceeding calmly and in an orderly way without strikes, riots or any I violence that in times past have acj companied such drastic readjust- ! menu of a nation's economic life,” Mellon said. j “You read in the papers over here ! that our congress is having difficulty balancing the budget. You ; are apt to get the impression of lack of will on the part of either congress or the country, whereas the very oppoiset is the case. "The country has determined that the government shall set its own house in order and the public credit be protected at all costs. The confusion you read about in congress is merely as to ways and means of doing this and is almost inevitable under our system of framing revenue legislation," the ambassador said.

YACHT CONTINUES LINDY BABY HUNT

Seventh Trip to Be Started Today; Hope Expressed of Success. Ry Celtfii Pre*t NORFOLK. Va, May 6—Two weeks of 'Cruises in search of Charles A. j r were com . pie ted today by the yacht Matron, and the yacht was scheduled to leave the submarine base again around noon today for its seventh trip. The idea behind the cruise* is that a group represented t© be the kidnapers of the Lindbergh baby will meet the Marcon at sea. at a designated time and place, in

weather permitting close contact, and hand over the child. So far the “kidnapers" have not appeared. .Associates of John Hughes Curtis, chief negotiator with the “kidnaping" group, were less confident today. For *eek now. they have been saying each time that the baby probably would be returned with the yacht next time. An associate of Curtis, mho knows every aspect of the cruises, reiterated today a denial that Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh ever has been aboard the Marcon. It has been suggested Lindbergh might have been at the naval base and visited the yacht while it was moored.

OFFERS GIRL BABBITT *Anne Vickers’ Is Newest Sinclair Lewis Novel, By UMfri Afi PARIS May 6.—Anne Vickers, ultra-modem American business woman and “sort of female Babbitt" will be glorified with American women who work for a living in Sinclair Lewis's latest novel. Just completed here. "Anne Vickers will oe a sort of female Babbitt, playing a reverse role, but she is not intended as a sarcastic interpretation of that glorious class of American women who help make the wheels of business spin," Lewis said. “She will live on Main street and Dr. Arrowsmith will be her family doctor." Lewis said he had fifty more novels t© write, and that he would start on the next one immediately.
