U.P)-EXpeditions attempting to
rescue or aid Augustine Courtauld
rich young Briton isolated on the
Greenland icecap, were nearing
their goal today by steamship, air.
plane and dog sledge. Fair weather
aided the search.
While Captain Albin Ahrenberg,
the noted Swedish pilot flying to
aid Courtauld, prepared to continue
from Reykjavik to Greenland, the
rescue ship Odin was reported to
have sent out plane from the edge
of the icecap to AngmagSalik, pre-
paratory to establishing a base at
the camp Of the radio operator,
Lennon, of the Watkins expedition,
for the search. Meanwhile, friends
of Courtauld were again attempting
to reach him by dog sledge from
the camp.
Courtauld, who had spent the
winter at an isolated camp estab-
lished by the Watkins British Arc
tic air route expedition, recently was
reported in considerable danger and
without food. The first three dog
sledge expeditions which attempted
to relieve him failed.

STRICKEN BOYS

SAN MATEO, Cal, May 2. (U.P--
A new attempt to save the lives OF
two little boys, i'll of rare combi-
nation of three diseases, was plan
ned by physicians today.
First aided by gifts of blood from
eight young playmates and relatives,
Robert Ewing, 6, andw David Blu
mer, 6, will be helped further by the
blood OF young army officer. Lieu
tenant Paul d. Peery, reputed to be
the only person TO recover from
adult encepha1itis.
Encephalitis, or sleeping sick
ness" together with measles and
pneumonia, are the diseases for
which the boys are under treatment.
Both have been unconscious for two
weeks, although David was reported
to be making better progress than
Robert.
The offer of Lieutenant Peery,
stationed in San Francisco, to give
his blood for use in serum injections
was accepted by the boys physician.
The serum will be the first in which
the blood of recovered encepha-
litis patient was used to treat a VIC
tim of the disease.
Serum made from the blood of
young playmates was used because
all the donors had recovered from
measles.

COOD1AY FOR
COMMON LABOR
ON DAM WORK

WASHINGTON, May 2. up
Reclamation Commissioner Elwood
Mead was advised today by officials
of Six Companies, Inc, contractors
for Hoover Dam, that the pay of
unskilled workers on the project
will be raised from $3.50 to $500 per
day.
Protests had been filed with the
labor and interior departments
claiming that workers on the project
were receiving less than the average
wage paid in the vicinity for private
work.
The interior department was not
advised as to whether the pay of
skilled workers, which also was said
to be lower than the average, would
be increased.
This price for unskilled labor, an
official statement by the interior
department said, is regarded as a
good wage even in prosperous times.
With the congregation of unem-
ployed in the vicinity of the Hoover
Dam, it is admitted that workers
could have been secured at lower
price, but the present action is in
touch with the government policy OF
doing all it can toward maintaining
favorable wage levels.

Missing Youth
Found Drowned

OCEAN PARK, Cal, May 2. W.P)
Trapped by a high tide while he
slept in a shallow pit on the beach,
Henry Davis, 7, was found dead to-
day.
Police believe the boy dug the pit
while playing on the beach.
The parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. J.
Davis of Ocean Park, said they had
been searching for Henry since
Thursday night when he failed to
come home.
1t was indicated, however, that the
boy had been dead only few hours
and police said they thought he dug
the pit to sleep in the soft sand
Friday night.
With childish ignorance of tide
conditions, it was believed, Henry
made his bed too near the edge of
the ocean.
A swimming party stumbled over
the small mound OF sand and found
the boys boy.

LONDON, May 2. (U.P)-The an
nual threat of worldwide violences
in international labors celebration
of May Day was safely passed today
except in Portugal, where disturb
anceS assumed a serious character.
A United Press survey showed
monStrationS-Some peaceful and
some violent-on every continent,
with MoScow'S great parade and de-
monstration at Red Square setting
the pace. Except in the new re-
public of Spain, where an imposing
but quiet demonstration occurred in
Madrid and gun fight killed one
and wounded a dozen in Barcelona,
the manifestations were closely re-
stricted and lacked enthusiasm.
Three persons were killed in Cuba
demonstrations.
Two were killed in Lisbon and a
dozen others injured in an outbreak
which was considered political in
character due to recent revolution
ary moves in Portugal. A score were
injured in several clashes among
Communists, Fascists and police in
Germany and five were injured in
a clash in Warsaw, Poland
The London demonstrations
threatened to become violent at one
time, but heavy police guards,
charging demonstrators in Hyde
Park, quickly suppressed the out
break. A few suffered minor in
juries. Similar outbreaks were sup
pressed at Manchester, Leeds, Liver
pool, Birmingham and in Ireland.

CEESMAN DEATH
District Attorneys Of
flee Renews Quiz Into
Brawley Shooting.

Reawakening public interest in
the Blackie Bell hijacking case and
pointing to q possible solution OF
the mystery that has surrounded the
fatal shooting of Jack Eugene Gees
man on the lonely ranch west of
Brawley several weeks ago, j. A.
Harris, 33. was arrested In Jacumba
last night for questioning by Tom
Sharp, district attorneys investi-
gator, and Harold Gillett, deputy
sheriff.
Harris will probably be released
after questioning by the officers. 1t
was he about whom rumors were
circulated in connection with Gees
mans death. Harris occupied a
room in q Westmorland hotel when
Geesmand stayed there, prior to the
shooting. He is said to have known
Geesman well.
Arrest Of Harris is the first made
since Geesman's body was found at
ter two other men, said to have
been his companions, attempted to
hold up customers at Bells place on
New River, about q mile west of
Brawley. Harris was not at the al
legged bootlegging establishment
when the raid and shooting took
place, but officers are of the opin-
ion he knows something of the mat
ter.
Sharp's investigation of the shoot
ing started yesterday morning. Last
night he and Harold Gillett made
trip to Jacumba, where they ar
rested Harris and interviewed sew
eral other persons. The Investigator
left Ell Centre early this morning
for Brawley, spending the day there
in investigation of various angles of
the case.
Sharp, while investigating other
angles as well, is searching for the
man said to have been wounded in
the gun battle that followed the hi
jacking raid.
Harris, in the county Jail, Had fur
nished no information of valuable
nature today. He was arrested a
few days before the fray on Bells
place by Sheriff George L. Camp
bell and deputies on a charge of
possession of liquor. He was re-
leased after payment of fine.

State To Proceed With
Investigation Of Com
pany's Affairs.

LOS ANGELES, May 2. U.p)-
Following close upon the announce
ment that the state corporation de-
partment had ordered an investiga-
ton into the affairs of the Rich
field Oil company came denials to-
day from two officials that they
owed large sums of money as listed
in report filed with the United
States district court by Receiver
William c. McDuffie.
The investigation into the affairs
OF the company was called when
reports that former officers and ex-
ecutives of the company had bor-
rowed nearly s1,000,0O0 of the COM
panys funds without knowledge of
the board of directors.
Joe Toplitzky. formerly q director
of the concern and w. E. Dunlap, q
former official, denied they owed
the Richfield Oil company money.
Not only did they deny such debts
but they contended the company
owed them money.
Through his attorney, Toplitzky
said he did not owe the company
100000 as reported but that RICH
field owed him $4,000 for losses
suffered by him in the transactions
whereby Richfield acquired control
OF the Universal Consolidated Oil
company.
Dunlap, also speaking through
his attorney, claimed the company
owed him SIG, 900 instead Of his be-
ing indebted to the company to the
extent of S10,598.51.
He said that when he went to
Richfield five years ago he had
signed contract with President J.
A. Talbot whereby he was to receive
a bonus of $4,000. He said he had
only received $500 of this bonus.
AT the request of Raymond L.
Haight, state corporation commits
sioner, copy of the report of VIII
liam c. McDuffie, receiver in equity
oil firm, will be sent the state
corporation department.
McDuffie's report also alleged
that Richfield had borrowed more
than Sl,300,000 from Universal Con-
solidated Oil company, subsidiary.
Records of al financial transac-
tions OF the company and former
executives for the past five years
were to undergo an audit at
Haight's request, he said.

ed over today to State Corporation
Commissioner Raymond L. Haight
to be compared with periodic reports
made by the company during the
past several years.
Haight Immediately assigned de-
putieS to compare the reports. He
said he expected the survey would
require several days.
In announcing that he had re-
quested copies of the receivers
audits from McDuffie, Haight de-
clared he had had nothing to arouse
any suspicion that irregularities
might be uncovered in the oil COM
pany's reports.
This department merely wants
to give the situation final check
before closing departmental records
on the case" Haight said. He said
he had not been approached by
any representatives of Richfield
stockholders with a suggestion that
more than million dollars had
disappeared from the Richfield
treasury prior to last January Is
when the concern was thrown into
receivership.

FRANCE PLANS
SPECIAL BOOKS
FOR SOUTHPAWS,

PARIS, May 2. W.p)-Equality for
left-handers is coming to France.
The ministry of public instruction,
upon the suggestion of left-handed
official, is suggesting to publishers
that in the future a ''leftAhanded
edition" be issued of all important
books.
A left-handed edition would diff
fer from the normal editions in that
Page l of the book would be at the
end of the book and the reader
would read backwards toward the
title page.
This suggestion emanated from a
heavy reader in the ministry of pub
lie instruction who, since birth, has
been left-handed. He made a
thorough study of the subject and
found that left-handed persons read
approximately one-third slower than
right ht-handers. This, he found, was
because of an inherent difficulty in
turning over pages with the right
hand.

President Takes Active

WASHINGTON, May .. W.p)-
The dream is almost over for Bryan
Untiedt
Like his only counterpart, Cinder-
ella, he will step through the glass
doors of the White House today af-
ter three days of hobnobbing with
a President and king. He will re-
turn to his home in the Colorado
COW country, where candy is lux
ury and milking the daily thrill.
But the 13-year old hero of a
snowbound school bus is packing
away with his harmonica and his
knickers an idea that he is going to
do something more than milk cows
the rest of his life. He has connded
in the President and his new found
associates a decision that he is not
going to drop back into the obscur-
ity of a farm boys life.
His inclinations are IN the direc-
tion of aeronautics, and his present
ambition is to become pilot or a
mechanical engineer.
1t is just possible Mr.. Hoover has
decided to do something to further
the lads hopes, but White House
officials declined to discuss the
matter. They have adopted an air
OF reticence concerning the young
ster, although privately they are of
the opinion that his visit brought

White House" toward "humaniZing
Mr.. Hoover before the public.
They are silent concerning the
time of his departure, as well as his
itinerary.

put his foot down on any idea he
might go on to New York although
he received many invitations.
