Friends Of Deposed President

Washington. Aug. 30.-(P-Pending
the receipt of official advices from
Peru on reports that Harold B. Grow.
American naval reserve aviator. would
be oourt-martialed. officials Of the
state department would make no COM
ment early today on his plight.
Grow was captured by the revolu-
tionists at Camana on the morning of
August "a. The state department in
structed the embassy at Lima to move
to obtain his freedom.
In reporting his capture, thc4Qn-
bassy said 1t was seeking assurance
of his safety" in communicating with
the revolutionists. Secretary Stimson
nevertheless dispatched a cable order
ing that "all appropriate efforts to
effect the release of Grow" be made.
Since that time the state department
has received no official advices con-
corning the naval aviator.
The department did receive, how
ever, its first official notice the pres
ent Peruvian government would com.
ply with that country's international
agreements and endeavorsto maintain
good relations with the United States.
Similar word had reached here In
press reports.

before definitely committing the de-
partment on the enterprise.
The secretary looks upon the pres
ent six foot upper channel as an in
tegral part of the waterways system,
but has said he considers the water

from becoming a pork barrel situa-
ton" Preference fol-. any locality or
section, in the opinion of the secre-
tary, would deter the rounding out of
the entire waterways program which
he regards as q national and not q
sectional program, one adviser OF the
secretary said today.
While in the twin cities the secre-
tary will take advantage of the OPP
portunity to consult with local inter-
ests and army engineers with a view
to learning their desires or getting
what suggestions they may have on
the nine foot proposal.
It will be after these private con.
ferences that the Administrations

to be made. It Is considered possible

Thinks Andree and Party May Have
Lived Two Years Or More On Island

Oslo. Norway, Aug. 30.-R-Belief
that Solomon Auguste Andree, Swed-

long on the island where their bodies
were found this month. 50 years after
their disappearance while attempting
to fly across the north pole in a

AT the time when Andree started
in his balloon there was very little
drifting ice around the island. This
should exclude the theory that the
balloon came down further north and
that Andree and his comrades
tramped across the ice to White
island"

bank of white fog had descended over
the entire area where the scale Brat
