Wilmington, Del.-Charles J. Pen
mock, banker and former state orni-
biologist, who disappeared from his
home in Kenneth Square, Pa, six years
ago, has been discovered through his
love for birds, which led him to write
an article for an pathological jour

covered living in the forests of Florida,
where his only solace in his self-en-
forced exile was the companionship Of
his beloved birds.
He was laboring under the delusion
that he must bury himself.

SAYS PRICE DROP
WILL EASE CREDIT
U. S. Will Not Relax Its Restric-
tons, However, Declares
Edmund Plat.

Easing Of the credit situation to =
consid erabie extent will result from
the lower range of prices now pre-
vaiiing in leading trade lines, accord
ing to the opinion expressed today by
Edmund Plat, vice governor OF the
Federal Reserve Board. Plat would
not undertake to say how far the
price recessions would go, but said he
regarded as significant the spread Of
the price drop movement.
Public disapproval of profiteering,
bringing about lower demand for
many articles, and causing factories
to slow down for lack OF orders, is
at the bottom OF the present down
ward price trend, Plat indicated.
Commenting upon the plea of manu-
facturers that they cannot sell below
cost of production. followed by re-
quests that the Government relax it's
credit restrictions, he indicated that
such interests must get out Of the
habit of relying upon Government
aid.
"The war taught people to look to
the Government for everything" Platt
said, land when q man cannot hook
his last winters coat for as much
as he thinks II ought to bring, he
writes to the Federal Reserve Board
and says it's outrageous that money IL
so tight"
Plat expressed the view that fac
tory closings and price slumps are in
no sense the result of credit restrie
ton. He declared there has been a
decrease in prices all over the world
starting last winter in the collapse
of the silk market in Japan. followed
by sudden drops in the price of leath-
er and wool, and then extending more
recently to other lines of trade.
