NEW BOOZE POLICY
 MAY AID B0OTLEGGERS
By International News Service,

WASHINGTON, Aug 3. Booze hunters along the bootleg trail. ever alert for some encouraging sign. hail with satisfaction the rule of reason" policy promulgated by Roy Haynes, new dry law chief. Haynes policy was not framed for bootlegers' bene- restrictions over legitimate users of intoxicating liquors.
 But it carries much cheer to the ranks of the illicit handlers of high voltage beverages. Haynes. under the new regime, will be forced to deal more generously with the classes of business men and concerns entitled to withdraw and use whi8key and other liquors for commercial purposes. This moderate relaxation away from the very rigid standard established by the former regime may open up new sources for bootleggers.
 Although dry chiefs fully realize the dangers, they take the position that legitimate enterprise must not be too severely hampered. Commissioner Haynes has promised representatives of large drug interests and agents of the chemical industries that his policy will be to facilitate and encourage en- terprise by making it less difficult to obtain liquors.
 This broader policy toward legi- mate users of intoxicGnts in the arts and sciences contemplates the com plete redrafting of a code of rules which have held manufacturers and other users of liquors to embarrassing limits. The removal of many of these restrictions brings cheer to the boot legger, who may find 1t impossible to return to the old method of securing diversion of liquor supplies legally withdrawn from bead.

LIEUT.. PEARSON
 WAS SAVED BY
 GOAT KEEPERS

San Antonio. TeN-A thrilling Story of the wandering of Lieutenant Alexander Pearson. Jr-, army flyer, who was lost for six days in Mexico, south of the Big Bend country along the Rio Grande, was told here with the arrival of Major Henry c. Pratt, air officer of the eighth corps.
 Major Pratt was the first man to greet Pearson when he reached civ ilization. Hissstory is the first authen- tic report and will be forwarded to Washington by corps headquarters.
 Pratts story follows:
 After Pearson landed his ship, due to motor trouble, he! spent all of Thursday afternoon searching for the Rio eGrande. He continued his search throughout the night and all day Friday. He was cut by prickle cactus and blinded by sand storms. Weak from lack of food and having used his half-fIed canteen of water, he tried to sleep Friday night, but hunger and thirst prevented. Early Saturday morning, nearly exhausted, he stumbled through a canyon, and guided by the croaking of frogs found the stream
 "At quarter of a mile from where he quenched his thirst he saw a raft on the other side of the river. and after resting he swan across to It. After binding some additional boards to the raft, which proved to be discarded washtub, with strips torn from his clothing, he foated down the Strea m all day ana n1SnI
 "Shortly after daybreak Sunday he sighted the goat camp of the Tur- ledge brothers and hailed two goat keepers. They accompanied him to the ranch house. taking turns walk ing beside the horses in order that Pearson might ride.
 'At the ranch house, which was de serted, but well stocked with food he ate for the first time since Thurs day morning. His condition was so weak from exposure and lack of nourishment however, that the goat keepers would not permit him to start on the trip to SanderSon until he had recuperated.
 "Wednesday afternoon they fur nished him with a horse and with one acting as a guide, he rode into the air service camp just as the boys were returning from another fruitless day of searching for him.
 Major Pratt said that Pearson af- ter landing walked away from the river to the south under the appre- tension that he was still in the United States. The fact that he walked in a circle what was brought him back to the river.
 E The plane was found intact late Thursday afternoon by flyers with the exception of the motor bearings be- ing frozen about five miles from the Rio Grande on the Mexican side. It
