NKW YORK', Aug. ft. (A) Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh's radio ad
dress tonight will be transmitted
by at least five short wave stations
for listeners anywhere in the
world.
Speaking on "International Avi
ation" from a single microphone in
the studios of the Columbia Broad
casting system, his voice will go
out on the 1 40 or more stations
which comprise the national
broadcast chains and the Columbia
network. He will talk from 10 to
10:15 p. m. (E. S. T.)
At least one Australian station,
located In Sydney, plans to re
broadcast the speech, which also
will be read in Cierman for broad
casting over Germany's network
of stations.
Previous to the delivery of the
talk on the broadcast chains, Col.
Lindbergh spoke at 3:26 p. m. (10.
8. T.) from the CBS studios, by
short wave only, to various coun
tries of the world invluding Swe
den, where his father wuh born.
. In his first -formal-radio address
CHARLES LINDBERGH
Lindbergh urged uniform flying
regulations for all nations and pre
dicted the next few years would
bring transoceanic air routes to
unite continental services already
established into a network cover
ing the world. '
Can't Compote With Ships
"To realize the full sigificance
of this development, however," he
said, "it must be considered as n
part of the whole system of mod
ern' transportation. For unless
some radical scientific discovery
revolutionizes our present air-craft
we cannot compete with ships and
railroads in the movement of most
articles of commerce. The air
plane augments rather than re
places ground transport. Its mis
sion is to simplify Intercourse be
tween countries by rapid transportation-
of passengers and docu
ments; to bring us in closer con
tact with other people and to
facilitate the negotiations neces
sary for mutual understanding and
trade."
"Throughout history," Colonel
Lindbergh said, "the progress of
civilisation has been dependent
upon the development of transpor
tation. . . . Kvery great advance
In transportation has forecast a
greater unity in world govern
ment." "The twentieth century" he con
tinued after some amplification of
this statement, "brings a third
dimension In transportation to a
world whclh had not yet time to
become accustomed to the more
recent developments of the rail
road and the steamship. The air
plane and the airship are placing
time and distance on a new sgale
of relativity. Aviation as It Is to
day is having a worldwide effect
on communication. If we attempt
to envision what It will be after a
century of modern scientific devel
opment It Is difficult to find prece
dent for the advances It may bring
to civilization.
Jmh-h More Pcacvful World
"Aviation has not gripped the
Imnginutlon of the world solely
because at last man has found! a
way of flying. Its fascination lies
far more in the changes It Is bring
ing ibout liV existing methods and

day lio would cull the gover
nors of stale most arfwUMl by
tho drouth togvlhcr Thursday
or next week to (IIm uss moth
oda for allovlaUng; distress
from the dry shU.
The president naid preliminary,
reports Indicated approximately
1,000,000 farm families were af
fected by thb drought and about
12 per cent of the whole animal
population of the country.
Mr. Hoover said the American
people should be kI"1 to take care
of their own countrymen, In time
of , distress. .He added the first
duty was to give assurance that
this aid would he forthcoming ami
then to set up the machinery to
provide the necessary help, ;
In addition to. calling the gov-'
ornor'H conference,-. Mr. Hoover In-,
structed actliiR chairman Blcknell
of the Red Cross at a Conference
ut the White House to have ta'ln
organisation stand by to relieve'
any possible human ' suffering.'
"The situation Is one to cause
a 1 great deul of concern'-' the
president said In a statement ' to
trawpanrmon,.v"bUt ft mut be
borne1 hi mind that the drought
has mainly affected animal feed
the bulk of the direct' human food '
production of the country being
abundantly In hand.'
WASHINGTON,- Aug. 8. (P)
The weather bureau said today:
"some hope la in sight" for' a'
break In the prolonged drought.
R. H. Welghtman, forecaster,
explained no Immediate relief was
In sight, but added existing pres
sure conditions In the far north
were generally - followed In the
course of a few days by showers
and lower temperatures In the '
upper Mississippi valley and plain
mutes. He suld alleviation tor
the corn and wheat belt might
come about the middle of next
week. -
: In the meantime, President Hoo
ver and government officials went
forward with plans (or the relief
of areas where distress has be
come acute.
Pending receipt of definite In
formation from the agriculture
department Monday on the dam
age done and, . threatened, 4- the
president called three members
of the federal furm board and Its
gnorul counsel. 'Stanley Reed, to

Mr. Hoover taking personal
I'hnrge of our heat and drought
calamity. He made a . good
start by getting rid of the Re
publican national chairman.
Now if ; he ' will do away ' wjtli
the whole organization I bet it
would start, iu raining-, and
maybe get n good snow. Wheat'
has gone up so that farm board
hail some inside weather re
ports when they bought all
that. And speaking of weather

think Mr. Coolidge saw this

watch it from a distance. ' ",
