Azores, August 3.-At 10:00 o'clockl
the "Marshall Pilsudski," Polish fly-!
er's trans-Atlantic plane, had not
been sighted here. It had Peen caU
culated that if it passed over 'the
Azores on its trip from Paris to New'
York it would arrive here between 7;
and 9 p. m. Azores time, (4 to 6 p. m.
Eastern Standard time).
Failure to ,sight the plane, however,
caused no apprehension here because
it was understood that unless fuel
was running low the flyers intended
keeping a course to the north of this
Archipelago.
A forced landing in the Azores
would be safe only on the Island of

FARM BILL
TO CONFER WITH WALSH
Recognizes Obligation To Control
Salei Of Agricultural Surpluses,
But Seeks Other Methods
(By Associated Press)
NEW YORK, August 3.-The equali-
zation provision of the vetoed Mc-
Nary-Haugen Farm Relief bill is un-
acceptable to Governor Smith, and so
far as he is concerned relegated to
the scrap heap for good.
The Democratic Presidential nom-
inee recognizes and feels that his
party by its platform is committed to
control of the sale of agricultural
surpluses which are to be borne by
the group benefited, but his thumb
was turned down on the McNary-
Haugen method.
Facing a dozen or more enquiring
newspapermen today in his suite at
the Biltmore, which was not cool
even if it is on the 14th floor where
there usually is a breeze, Smith went
further on the farm question than he
did yesterday after talking things
over with George N. Peek, Illinois
farm leader who has cast his lot with
the Democrats.
Yesterday's Statement Recalled
Someone recalled Smith to his
statement of yesterday-"Control of
the sale of agricultural surplus is
recognized by our platform as an es-
sential measure, its cost to be im-
posed on the unit to be benefited"-
and asked whether that was to be
construed as an endorsement of the
equalization fee principle.
Smith quickly turned to an editor-
ial in the New York World declaring
that it summed up his views con-
cisely. It is said that the plan for
accepting the cost of controlling sur-
pluses contained in the legislation
which President branded as uncon-
stitutional was unacceptable to him;
that Smith had no plan of his own
as yet for carrying out the principles
of having the unit aided stand the
expense and that if elected he had
promised to get down to work on
evolving a satisfactory method.
Dismisses Question
That was all the nominee would
say about the question dismissing it
to disclose that he had invited Sen-
ator Walsh of Montana to confer with
him soon. He said Mr. Walsh had
expressed a willingness to meet with
him, but that a definite date and
place for the conference had not been
determined.
Fifty exhibits demonstrating re-
search and class work at the Uni-
versity Biological station at Douglas
lake were on display at its second
annual visitors' day held the first of
this week. More than 550 people at-
tended the exhibition, according to
word received by Dean Edward H.
Kraus from Prof. George LaRue, di-
rector of the camp.
One of the most extensive exhibits
was that dealing with parasites and
parasitic diseases, including 'edge
pool itch, parasitic worms, and beach
insects. Perhaps the most economi-
cally important aspect of the research
conducted at the camp, according to
Professor LaRue, is the investigation
of fish and fish di'seases in which all
of the students are engaged.
Research in the field of vertebrates
was represented by a series of photo-
graphs showing the life histories of

The entomologists showed a num-
ber of drawings of dragon flies and'
other large insects, as well as re-
sults of investigation o fthe minute
inhabitants of the lake, and particu-
larly of the respiration of aquatic
snails, while the frog pens used in
evaluating frogs; as fly catchers were
also a center of interest. A weed ex-
hibit was of value to the farmers in
attendance.
The visitors' day was in the nature
of an open house, and all the facili-
ties of the station were open to in-
spection, such a's the library, the
stockroom, "Log Lab," the oldest
building on the site, the hospital (con-,
ducted under the supervision of the
University Health Service), and the
camp store.
The Biological station was estab-
lished in 1909 and is at present the
largest inland establi'shment of its
kind in the world. Its purpose is
primarily to study plants and ani-
mals out-of-doors. Each year ten or,
more scientific articles describing the
results of its researches are publish-
ed.

LE BOURGET, France, August 3.--
Two Polish knights of the air sped
westward with the dawn tod4y hop-
ing to make the first non-stop east
to west flight to New York from
France.
Majors Louis Idzikowski and Ka-
zimir Kubala of the Polish air serv-
ice hopped off at 5:46 a. m. (Paris
daylight time, 11:46 p. m. Thursday,
eastern standard time) in their plane
christened Marszalek . Pilsudski in
honor of the Polish dictator.
The hopes of the airmen were highj
although the barometer was low.
They went against the advice of the
French weather service but were
confdent in word from America that
they would run into good conditions
on that side of the Atlantic.
Expect To Land Today
The flyers expected to land at New
York Saturday afternoon after a
flight of from 3,000 to 4,000 miles, de-
pending on the route followed. A
strong northeasterly breeze wafted
them on their course which led south-
west over the Azores.
The plane passed over Dreux, about
50 miles from Le Bourget, at 6:38 a.
m. It was flying westward at a
height of 1,500 feet and at good speed.
Idzikowski, wearing a leather coat
over street clothes, climbed into the
plane first. He took the pilot's seat.
Kubala, in' light dungarees, took the
navigator's post behind. One slight
incident delayed the start when an
oil reservoir filled too full and over-
flowed, drenching the pilot's seat. Six
mechanics rapidly sponged off the big
plane as if it were a racehorse before
a great test.
Leaves Ground Slowly
Kubala was cool and practical to
the last minute. Idzikowski, who
had the task of taking off with an
eight-ton Sesqui plane with a single
650-horse power motor, was very
white in the face as he pulled down
his goggles and hunched over the con-
trols.
With the motor roaring and spitting
red and blue flames, the flyers gave
a last wave of their hands and start-
ed the plane trunding down the field
accompanied by cries of encourage-
ment. As the engine got up speed
and began to bound over the uneven
field it seemed that the plane would
nev'er rise from the ground with its
heavy load.
After tlle airmen hopped off, later
weather reports were received. While
they were not too favorgble they of-
fered at least more chances of suc-
cess than any conditions which pre-
vailed recently.
Ann Arbor's national guardsmen
left last night for Camp Grayling,
where they will have their fifteen day
training period. They assembled at
the Armory at 1:00 o'clock yesterday
and marched to the Michigan kCen-%
tral station where they boarded the
train about 8 :00 p. m.
The line of march was from the
Armory north on Fourth street to
Detroit street, turning on Fuller to
Carey. Special coaches were provid-
ed on the train for the local contin-
gent. The Ypsilanti signal corps
company left for camp on the same
train. They are expected to arrive
at camp about 8 o'clock this morning.
Minor details received attention
yesterday afternmon and the heavier
Ibaggage was transported to the sta-
tion by truck. Musical instuments
and sporting equipment was included
in the property of the outfits for en-
tertainment during recreational hours.
The usual rivalry is expected be-
tween Companies I and K at camp
this year. Contests in being first
to have tents erected and other army
detail work exists as keenly between
the local organizations as it does
among the companies of various cities
of the state.

ENGLAND'S POOR AND MIDDLE CLASSES
WORK FOR ANGLO-AMERICAN A M I T Y
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Aug. 3.-The prospect of
permanent Anglo-American friend-
ship was shown by recent observa-
tions here to rest chiefly on the high
regard for American civilization al-
most universally displayed by Eng-
land's poor and middle classes.
While the English-Speaking Union
and a dozen other organizations con-
tinue their steady and useful work of
interpreting England to America and
America to England, the unmoneyed
groups in England need little stim-
ulus to unite them in friendship to-
ward the United States.
Whatever criticism one hears of
America in England comes usually
from the upper classes, even though'
the same classes initiate the move-
ment for better Anglo-American rela-
tions. The sly sneer or quip at the
American accent, American tourists,
American prosperity and American
movies generally comes from the
British Intelligentsia.
The ordinary people of England be-
ginning with the cockney and ex-
tending to the shopkeeper, are decid-
edly pro-American. They have heard
tales of--the democratic spirit to the
west. Herbert Hoover the mine boy
and Al Smith the fish-hawker, rise to
be candidates for the presidency.
president's daughter.
The cockney is more amenable to
American influence exerted through
the movie, the phonograph and the
jazz song than is the aristocrat, for
his diversions are much more confin-
ed. He does not see so many plays,
does not travel, reads very little. His
amusements are American movies and
American music, whether phono-
graphic or script, to which he dances.
It is indicative of this influence that
so many American slang words are
found in the cockney patois. Guy
bird, flop, skirt, and a host of others
have been imported from America
via the movie and the phonograph,
for cockney consumption. The cock-
ney leaves off the "g" in "ing" words,
overworks "ain't" and smooths over
his "t's" into "d's." The aristocrat
does none of these things.
It has been the writer's privilege
to make a series of talks to clubs and
societies of toe poorer sections of
London. The reception given by the
cockney people was uniformly cor-
dial. The talks were all of America,
and I was assured that the attendance
was larger than usual. Judging from
the questions which followed these
talks, these working-class are keenly
interested in the republic in the west,
and their questions evinced a knowl-
edge of America which was some-
times startling,

Whether the Republican nominee
