CRISIS BLASTS RUSSIAN TRADE HOPES FOR U. S. War Scare Brings Soviet Into Closer Relations With Neighbors. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripp*-lloward Foreirn Editor WASHINGTON, April 22.—The turn of events in Europe threatens to drive a final nail into the coffin of the hopes for a billion-dollar Soviet-Amencan trade. At the time of Soviet recognition 18 months ago, American business men and farmers foresaw the possibility of selling Russia at least a billion dollars worth of their products within a decade. Last year, the first under recognition, the United States sold less than $9,000,000 worth of goods to Russia and came a poor fourth in the list after Britain, Germany and Mongolia. Today the future looks blacker still. Russia’s relations with the rest of Europe, Germany excepted, have undergone a complete revolution. She is busy signing political ententes of Incalculable import with most of them, at the same time negotiating more favorable trade agreements. Even Germany, the exception noted above, has just extended her a credit of $80,000,000 to purchase German products. It is to run five years at only 2 per cent interest. Furthermore, Germany agrees to buy during the coming year not less than $60,000,090 worth of Soviet ex-

ports. Eden Urged Trade Fact While in Moscow on his recent political mission, Capt. Anthony Eden, British lord privy seal, is known to have taken time off to talk better trade relations with Russia. Spokesmen for France.! Italy. Czechoslovakia and the rest I of the ring now forming around Germany are doing the same thing, j Russia's rapprochement with the rest of Europe will inevitably mean closer commercial as well as political relations. Amtorg, official Soviet trading agency in New York, during the first quarter of this year placed $5,849,900 worth of orders in this country. This was more than double the corresponding figure in 1934. which was $2,205,000. But there is a “but.” A single order, amounting to $3.300,000, was responsible for this large gain—an order for sheet steel rolling mill equipment placed in Pittsburgh. Rail Equipment Needed There is another, and even more significant, thing about this order. When the mill is erected near the Dneiper power plant, it wfill be the only one of its kind outside the United States. In other words, unless the credit deadlock is broken, about the only orders that can be expected in this country will be orders for things unobtainable elsewhere. The $80,000,000 German credit is a case in point. It is understood to be largely for the purchase of steel rails and other railway equipment—material in the production of which the United States excels. Russia is in a desperate hurry to complete the double tracking of the transSiberian and build other lines, especially toward the Far East. She stands to win or lose the war, if she fights Japan again, on the strength or weakness of her transportation. A year and a half ago, officials here mentioned $200,000,000 as a possible total credit this country might advance Russia to buy cotton and other American products. U. S. Negotiations Fail The Administration set up an ex- ; port-impoi bank to finance the expected trar But the Johnson law was enacted shortly thereafter, making it unlawful—according to a subsequent ruling of Atty. Gen. Homer S. Cummings—to extend credits until Russia settled her debts to Uncle Sam. Last January all efforts of Washington and Moscow to reach such a settlement and start trade flowing collapsed. Nettled and discouraged, the State Department announced that "the negotiations which seemed so promising at the start must now be regarded as having come to an end.” European nations, whose claims against Russia are several times ; larger than this country's, completely divorce their debt and trade negotiations.

HERE’S a novel suggestion: Up to the present tifne, our high speed aviation races have all been close to the ground . . . and someone suggests that in order to make the Thompson Trophy Race and similar high speed air competitions safer we use captive balloons for pylons. In addition to the safety angle, such a method of running a high speed race would be a great deal more entertaining to spectators, since the competing ships would be m sight at all tifnes. Then ... if a racing plane should come to pieces like the one that Doug Davis was flying in the last trophy race It would be a simple matter to ball out, and only material would be destroyed . . . not a valuable life as was his case. And my, what a better show all around for pilots and spectators! There is no doubt in the world that captive balloons as pylons would remove one of the major hazards from speed races. The spectators would lose nothing by such an innovation . . . they would have a better view of the planes . . . the same breath - taking maneuvers would still be there. Rumors are constantly floating around in air circles about nego- j tuitions supposed to be underway between Great Britain and Denmark. toward establishing a British air base in Iceland. Denmark controls the island and an air base at that particular spot may be an outstanding factor in setting up a North Atlantic air route. Air bases are being sought In Iceland. Greenland. Newfoundland, the Bermudas and the Azores, and the

j North Atlantic air route between Europe and America seems to be a sure thing in the future. A few years ago, however, aviation people little thought that a Pacific route would be first inaugurated . . . and according to present indications, it seems that passengers will be flying the Western ocean long before they will be crossing the Atlantic. QUESTION: How did the term "blimp ’ come to be applied to nonrigid airships? This name is a contraction of the English military designation, B. limp.

STATE CRIME DECREASE DISCLOSED BY SURVEY Best Record Since 1928 Shown by 1933 Analysis. The smallest number of criminal charges since 1928/were filed in 1933 in the 672 Indiana courts handling criminal charges, according to a statistical survey completed by the State Accounts Board. The report showed a 9.6 per cent decrease from the number of criminal charges filed during the preced-

ing year of 1932 and a 27.8 per cent drop from 1931, the peak year for crime in Indiana as recorded by the courts’ activities. Criminal charges were filed against 70,034 persons in 1933. The decrease chiefly was attributable to repeal of the old liquor laws. ROAD BIDS TO BE SET 38th-st Grade Crossing Separation Among Projects. A grade separation over the C., C., C. & St. L.
