Speculation in Corn Must Cease Seeks Tightening Rules
New York, May 16 Julius J Barnes federal wheat director notified the Chicago board of trade that the rule limiting any one vne 1 to 2 should be reinstated to curb speculation. He said if the exchange complies he will cable Herbert Hoover that further regulation may not be needed. Gates replied that the idea will be considered by trade executives. Barnes argued most open corn contracts are legitimate hedges but urged stronger guarantees and a cap of 200000 bushels per open trade to curb abuse. He noted hoarding provisions of the food administration law of Aus East 1917 would apply to future delivery contracts when large quantities are involved.

Lost Dirigible C-5 In Arctic Myths End Hope
St John s Newfoundland May 16 The dirigible C 5 fledgling from the United States navy broke from its moorings in a storm and is now considered lost. The destroyer Edwards conducted an all night search among Arctic icebergs without sighting it. The British freighter Clan Davidson reported it was off course and must proceed. Rear Admiral Wood suggested Captain Harris may have mistaken an iceberg for the dirigible. Commander Coll said he has given up hope of salvage and plans another transatlantic flight attempt in a dirigible.
