President OKs
Itinerary for a
Western
trip
To Make Several Speeches En Route
to West Coast and Will Pass
Through Many States.
By FREDERICK STORM
U. P. Wrhite House Correspondent
HYDE PARK, N. Y., July 2 (UP)
President Roosevelt approved to
day the details of an itinerary call
ing for at least four major speeches
in states between Washington and
I California where new deal policies
will be challenged in primary elec
tions. In his swing across the country
beginning the night of Julv 7, the
president als: will make a number
of platform appearances, all of which
will be highlighted by brief, extem
poraneous addresses.
The itinerary made public here left
no doubt in the minds of political ob
servers that Mr. Rooseveit was ready
to bear down heavily for "liberal"
primary' candidates, particularly in
Kentucky where Senate Majority
Leader Alben W'm. Barklev is being
opposed for renomination by Gover
nor A. B. (Hap) Chandler.
Mr. Roosevelt will not or
deliver
a formal address at the Latonia race
track in Covington. July 8, but will
appear oi the rear platform of hir
private train at Louisville and Bowl
ing Green. Kv., on the same day.
The Kentucky part of the schedule
appeared the most ambitious of the
trip which will terminate in San
Diego, July K where the president
boards the cruiser Houston for a run
to the Galapagos Islands off the coast
of Ecuador.
Stops in Oklahoma City in Okla
homa where Senator Elmer Thomas
ardent new dealer, is opposed for
renomination, and in California where
there is a hot five- cornered race
for the democratic gubernatorial
nomination, indicated that he would
give at least a vigorous verbal pat
on the back to candidates he felt
were frienly to his administration.
Both in Oklahoma Citv and San
Francisco, speeches are sceduled, al
though for the last place it is still
tentative. In California two men
both well known to the president are
in the governorship fight, J.F.T. O'
Connor, former comptroller of the
currency, and John Dockweiler con
gressman from Los Angeles.
The president's first speech will be ;
in Marietta, Ohio, the morning- of'
July 8, his first stop out of Washing
ton. J he talk w ill be in connection
with the 150th anniversary of the
founding of the first settlement in the 1
northwest territory. j
Although he has Ohio friends up !
for renomination, observers speculat
ed as to whether this would be a
political speech. There was the feel
ing that he would confine himself
to general subjects.
Here is the itinerary. ('All times

entrance to the Panama Canal. Mr.
Roosevelt has been there twice before
The fishing is excellent.
On the return voyage he plans tc

ama Canal, stopping over in Panama
City to be the guest of the president
of Panama. Also he is expected to
inspect some of the military estblish
ments on the isthmus.
An Atlantic coast port, as yet un
announced, will be the terminus of
the cruise sometime early in August.

henceforth Italian bakers must make
only the prescribed new type of
bread, the price of which will be
decided when the exact total of the
harvest and the quality of the cereals
to be reaped has been determined
definitely.
The estimate of the new wheat
crop was given to the corporation by j
Edmondo Rossini, minister of agri
culture. It was based on the recent
favorable weather. However, it still
will be under the nation's normal
; requirements.
! A drive will be started to insure
a maximum harvest. Mussolini will
inaugurate the harvesting season on
Monday in the reclaimed Pontine
marsh area near Rome. He probably
will toss the first sheaves into the
threshing machine.
Mussolini called the cereals cor

fidential reports of popular dissatis
faction with bread and spaghetti
dissatisfaction which centered on the
taste rather than the actual quality.
Apparently with the Idea of taking
the public mind off the situation,
newspapers Ftarted to give consider
able space to optimistic forecasts of
the coming harvest. Prefects of wheat
growing regions, except as regards
northern Italy, expressed hope in late
reports that this year's harvest would
be as good as or better than last
year's. Last year 80.000.000 quin
tals (about S. 000. 000 long tons) of
wheat was harvested, sufficient for
the entire nation's needs.

Some weeks ago estimates of a 60.

This would mean that the govern

Earhart Plane
Vanished Just
One Year Ago
Coast Guard Cutter Log Tells Dra
matic Story of Final Hours
Files Open to Press.
SAN FRANCISCO (UP) A year
ago today two renowned figures in
United States aviation, Amelia Ear
hart and Frederick J. Noonan, dis
appeared in the vicinity of Howland
Island, in mid-Pacific, while on the
last lap of a world-circling flight.
Files of the coast guard cutter
Itasca, of local coast guard head
quarters, and of navy squadrons of
the Pacific, now open to the press tell
of the last attempt of the gallant
aviatrix and her companion to con
tribute to the progress of aviation.
Hundreds of terse radio messages
tell their dramatic story, which drew
to a tlose with death in the swelling
ocean. On a bright, sunny morning,
July 2. 19 37. at 8:44 o'clock
came Miss Earhart's last message:
"KHAQQ calling Itasca. We are !n
the line of position 157-337. Will
repeat this message. We will repeat
this message in 6210 kilocycles. Wait.
Listening in (1210 kilee-yeles. We are
running: north and south."
Voice Was Faltering
The woman's voice was faltering
and confused, operators said. The
Itasca's radio replied. It asked for
acknowledgement but contact never
came.
How close the pair were to How
land Island, their destination, at the
time of their last message probably
will never be known. Earlier mes-
gator, missed Howland atfer bringing
the plane across 2.;00 miles of open
water from Lae, New Guinea, will
never be known. Rut the Itasca re
port reveals that in the bright tropic
morning sun it might have been dif
ficult to see the low land.
Smoke Signal Used
However. Commander Thompson
had anticipated that possibility. He
laid down a heavy smoke screen to
guide the pair to a safe landing. Be
cause he did not know, and had not
been advised of the time of the take
off from Lae. he used searchlights
and flares at night.
Miss Earhart and Noonan failed
to see the smokescreen. Heavy clouds
and rain storms to the north and
west of Howland probably were the
reason for that. Commander Thomp
son believes. He said he was con
vinced from the beginning that the
plane went down to the northwest
of Howland Island. Search was im
mediately concentrated there.
Commander Thompson speaks reel
ingly of "faked amateur messages
that resulted in diversion of the
Itasca from probable sectors of
search." Operators of the Itasca went
on 24-hour shifts to establish radio
contact with the plane. They were
not acknowledged by the missing
fliers although heard across the
Pacific in San Francisco, by many
ships at sea. and in Honolulu.
Range Finder Useless
A high frequency direction finder
set up by Richard B. Black, of the
department of interior, at Howland
Island, was useless. The range find-!
er would not function on voice trans
mission, and Amelia persisted on
voice although the Itasca asked her
to use key transmission. The files
disclose the Itasca was rushed to par
ticipate in the Earhart flight with
only eight hour's notice. Full in
formation as to the type of radio
equipment Miss Earhart carried was
not available. As a result the Itasca's
efforts were largely useless.
Miss Earhart. the Tiles disclese.
asked for radio frequencies that were
not suitable for the South Pacific.
The Itasca commander attempted to
correct her. he said, but failed. Mes
sages to local coast guard headquar
ters from Commander Thompson dis
closed that warning had been voiced
of the radio dangers in the flight.
"At the end," Commander Thomp
son's log noted, "Miss Earhart talk
ed so rapidly as to be almost inco
herent." The bulky report of the official
agencies shows the tireless efforts ex
pended on behalf of the lost fliers.
Five hundred fifty-eight radio mes
sages were sent or received by the
local coastguard headquarters alone.

Deficit Low
and Income at
High Figure
Favorable Returns Offset by Steady
Rise in National Debt and New
Fiscal Year Deficit.
Py LYLE C. WILSON
WASHINGTON. July 2 (UP)
New deal deficits reached a low of
$1,459,000,000 and revenue touch
ed 'a new high of $6. 242. 000. 000 to
day when the treasury reported final
figures for the fiscal year 193S which
ended June 30.
But favorable returns were off-
set by the steady rise of the national
debt and the prospect of a record
breaking deficit in the new fiscal
year which began yesterday.
The fiscal year deficit repented to
day compares with $4,360,600,000 in
the fiscal year 1 936. the new deal
record te date. The defieit thus com
puted does mt include amounts spent
for debt retirement.
Receipts of $6,2 4 2,000,000 com
pared with $8,001,000,000 in 1937.
The total expenditure of $7,701.
000.000 compares with 4fc.OOl.00O,
000 for the 1937 fiscal period. The
$1,459,000,000 net deficit reported
compared with $2,707,000,000 for
1937.
The gross public debt on June 30
amounted to $37,165,000,000 com
pared with $36,425,000,000 a year
ago. President Roosevelt estimated
lat January that the debt would
reach $37,603,647,000 by the end of
the fiscal year.
He told press conference question
ers in Hyde Park this week that he
was satisfied that the human and
natural resources budget of the na
tion was balanced regardless of the
statistics of "bookkeepers."
Interest payments on the public
tiebt increased from $S86,00O.O00 in
1937 to $926,000,000 in 193S. Of
the total expenditures $4,776,000.

SCHKELING BACK TO GERMANY
NEW YORK, July Z (UP) Max
Schmeling, who will sail for Ger
many on the Bremen tonight, was
taken aboard the liner secretly last
night.
By stretcher and ambulance he
was transferred to the ship from
Polyclinic hospital where he has been
confined by a back injury he suffered
when knocked out by Jee Louis in
their heavyweight championship fight
10 days ago.
Schmeling's manager, Joe Jacobs,
explained the move was made because
Max wanted to avoid the crowds, ex
citement and publicity attendant to
a midnight sailing.
Jacobs said Maxie made up his
mind about 9:30 last night, and that
he had to telephone Schmeling's
physician. Dr. Robert Emery Bren
nan, for permission to remove him
from the hospital. Dr. Brennan would
not cVnsent until he had given as
sistant directions for strapping and
taping the boxer's back to prevent
any injury. He was taken by stretch
er to a private ambulance waiting
at the back door of the hospital.
