BRAKE ON PRICE SOARING IS BIG TASKFOR U. S, Roosevelt Regime to Face Test in Wait for Wages to Catch Up. BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Ppp* Staff Corrtupondent 'Coorritht. IMS. bv United Pr#** WASHINGTON, June 27. - The administration is heading into the first great test of its industrial control machinery in the struggle to hold prices within bounds. This is a crucial test for the new deal, because it touches the flattened pocketbooks of every wage earner and salaried person, and because it strikes at profits, the most important thing in the life of every business man, large or small. The Roosevelt administration wants higher prices. But it wants them to come gradually, not in a sudden wild spurt. Those two sentences explain away many of the seeming contradictions in the swift-moving events at Washington and London. All administration utterances follow the appeal of President Roosevelt, who asked business men to defer price increases, even at the cost of initial profits, while wages catch up. General Hugh Johnson, industrial control administrator, and Charles J Brand, farm relief co-adminis-trator, have followed this up in more emphatic language. Johnson warns against wildcat price increases. Brand warns that congress will repeal the whole business if advantage is taken of the consuming public. All emphasize that if prices go Up faster than wages, there will be I another buyers' strike, and business will go into another tailspin. The situation superficially is confusing because it is the policy of the administration to raise the price level.

One Woman in World Has Taken Solo Flight in Dirigible; and She Liked It

Mrs. Henry Breckinridge Piloted Santos-Dumont’s Aircraft Across Bois of Paris and Amazed Throng of Onlookers. BY MARGUERITE YOUNG Time* Special Writer Mrc Y P R ?' June 27—The onl y woman to fly a dirigible alone is Mrs. Alda de Acosta Breckinridge, wife of Colonel Henry Breckinridge friend and counsel of Charles A. Lindbergh. _ . Breckinridge did H—with thousands of electrified Parisians watching her toylike balloon slowly sailing over the sweet-scented woods of the Bois—exactly thirty years

; ago Monday. And no other amateur ! Pilot, masculine or feminine, ever has tried it again. Today she recalled the feat as j “really just lots of fun.’ She j wasn't even frightened, because • although she had planned and | studied it with Alberto | Dumont, builder of the first practi- : cal lighter-than-air ship, she said: "I really never took seriously Santos-Dumont’s promise that I [ -should fly across the Bois alone. I never really expected it until I was actually going aloft.” The First Story For a few days the headlines proclaimed : , ‘‘American girl, member of New York’s Four Hundred, flies SantosDumont’s dirigible.” When she came home, tugsful of newspaper men went down the bay to get the story, but her muchannoyed mother shooed them away. And so the story told now by cameo-like Mrs. Breckinridge in her living room near the East river, is the first first-hand account to see the light. Just a. Runabout It was 1903. Aida de Acosta, at school in Paris, shared a world’s excitement over the fact that the dark little Brazilian, Santos-Du-mont, was flying a dirigible over Paris. She went with friends to his hangar, near the Bois, and was introduced by the Chilean minister to Paris. ‘‘People were making a terrific fuss over Santos Dumont,” she related. ‘‘When he showed me his

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

‘Come out, and I’ll give you a few lessons.’ “I really didn't take it seriously, but of course I went. He gave three or four lessons—showed me everything about how to steer, how to shift ballast and pull the valve to release air, and how to work the propellors.” One Sunday she went to the hangar to watch Santos Dumont. Tightly corseted, she wore a trailing, ruffled foulard dress and big picture hat. He greeted her with—“lt’s a splendid day. Why isn’t it a good day for you to fly?” She replied: So She Flies “I'd like to fly over the polo field, across the Bois.” He lifted her into the tiny wicker basket and began to give her final instructions. He said he would ride along behind her on a bicycle and handkerchief. “He was such an excitable little man I scarcely noticed when he turned suddenly and shouted to his crew of nine or ten men. All of a sudden they released the balloonhad to throw out a great deal of. ballast to go aloft, but then it was smooth, slow sailing. “Yes, I was interested in looking down on the Bois. I had to go high enough to prevent the drag rope from tangling in the trees, so I suppose I went up between 200 and 300 feet. I steered straight toward the polo field at Bagatelle. Never Saw Signals “Then I was a little concerned aboiit getting down, because an English-American match was going on, and a big crowd had gathered to see the flight by—they thought— Santos-Dumont. “He had come along on his bike and finally in an auto, but I never saw his signals. I pulled on the valve, however, and the dirigible came down almost by iself. The crowd, surging forward, discovering it was a beruffled girl in the basket, stared and cheered. The pilot’s greatest concern was getting out of that basket. Several men helped her clamber out. Then she squeezed right in again and sailed back across the Bois to the hangar. She was in the air altogether more than two hours. Criticised by Papers “He had fixed the ballast so that I couldn’t go above a certain height,” Mrs. Breckinridge smiled. “Unless something happened, I was safe. The French papers criticised him severely, but he answered that it was a very dead day. “It was thrilling, exciting, amusing. I don’t remember feeling anything else about it. You know perfectly well that when a young person wants to do something, he doesn't think of danger.”

The baldish, pleasantly-spoken Morgenthau won't talk about the cow during business hours because he has too much business. There are millions of farmers who need his help in the re-
