Reynolds Wants
Round World Rare
CHICAGO. (7P> — Milton Rey
nolds, Chicago pen manufacturer,
whose “Bombshell” plane is
groomed for a world-circling solo
flight August 3, offered today to
wager “any amount between $25,
000 and $100,000” if anyone is
willing to make a race of it.
The offer was announced by
Franklin Lamb, president of the
Reynolds Pen company, who said
Reynolds had made it in a cable
gram from Paris, France.
Lamb said Reynolds’ wager was
conditional upon competitors tak
ing off “at the same time the
Bombshell takes off (from Chi
cago on August 3; rules to be mu
tually.agreed upon, and acceptance
before July 30. so that full prepa
rations can be made.”
Reynolds offer. Lamb said, ap
plied to “any class of privately
owned plane which anyone cares
to race.”
Lamb said the Bombshell’s
pilot, Capt. Bill Odom had ex
pressed himself as “heartily in
favor' of such a race, and confi
dent that he would win it.
Some authorities believe the
word Russian is derived from ru
sij, meaing fair-haired.

WASHINGTON, (;p) — Objec
tions by Senator Chavez (D.-N.M.)
prevented Senate action yesterday
on a House approved bill to set up

The measure would authorize
the agriculture department to sell

Tongass national forest in south
east Alaska. The department says
it would be the first step toward
establishing five $30,000,000 paper
mills in the area.
Chavez did not explain his ob
jection.

Complete Service Incoming—Outgoing
Truman Will Keep
Installment Buying
Controls In Force
WASHINGTON, l/P)—President
Truman said yesterday he has not
promised to remove controls over
installment buying in event Con
gress does not approve their ex
tension.
He has only promised to take
action, he said at a news confer
ence when asked about his plans.
These controls were imposed or
iginally during the war by a
Presidential order. They require
at least a one-third down payment
when an automobile, a refrigera
tor and some other articles are
purchased on the installment plan.
Mr. Truman recently sent Con
gress a message saying he thought
the controls should be continued, J
but felt that was a matter for
Congress. At that time, he said he
would take action if Congress did j
not vote to continue them.
His phrase was generally inter-I
preted at the time as meaning he
would remove the controls if Con
gress did not vote to extend them.
The Senate has voted for a modi
fied continuation, but the House
has opposed.
But when reporters brought up
the subject, Mr. Truman carefully
pointed out that he had said he
would take action. He said that
is an entirely different thing.
He would not say what he
would do until Congress finally
| disposes of the matter so far as it
is concerned, he added.
The questioning went on:
“Have you given much consid
I eration to Secretary of Agricul
[ ture Anderson’s proposal for a
i world trade organization whereby
the government would do their
purchasing for grain and supplies
for the Marshall plan?”
Mr. Truman replied that is un
! der consideration.
“Has it advanced very far’” a
reporter wanted to know.
The President repeated tha*
Anderson’s proposal was under
consideration but said that was as
; far as he could go.
Asked if there is any adminis
trative action he can take to per
mit entry into the United States of
some of Europe’s displaced per
sons. Mr. Truman said no such
action is possible. If it were, he
said, he would have acted long
ago.
In response to other questions:
The President said he had heard
| nothing about a report that for-'
i mer Senator James M. Mead of
New York will succeed Robert E.
