IN JUNGLE
TOLD BYFL|ER

SAN JERONIMO, Mexico, July
Is G.N.SO.-At the point of
death from II days wandering
through a thick jungle, Clarence
L. McElroy, of Medaryville, Ind,
today related from a hospital cot
details of his perilous adventure.
1t began with the crash of the
plane in which he and Ray Cor
don, American president of the
Honduras Aviation Company, left
here for Tegucigalpa, Honduras,
Gordon's home, on June 81. With
Gordon at the controls, the pair
ran into a storm, the motor
failed, and their ship crashed.
Dragging himself from the
wreckage, McElroy, seriously cut,
discovered that Gordon had been
killed instantly.
After grimly attempting to
place Gordon's body so that it
would be safe from wild animals,
McElroy struck out for civilza-
tion, knowing only vaguely that
it lay somewhere to the north
acroS small mountain range.
After II days of wandering in
circles McElroy finally stumbled
upon the thatch hut of native,
Melardo Enriques.
The native hurried here with
news of the white foreigner, with
whom he could not converse.
Local searching parties, already
on the lookout for McElroy and
Gordon as a result of urgent
messages from the American en-
basSy in Mexico City, set out to
rescue the man.

WILL BACK
. HOOVER IF He
STAYS DRY
Strategy Board "UnoffiCiaIIy"
For Him, But Fear Truth
of Report He's "Wetter"
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

The organized drys, their
backs to the wall, are not
"officially" going to support
either Herbert Hoover or
Franklin D. Roosevelt for the
presidency this year.
"Unofficially," however, they
are going to do all they can for
Mr.. Hoover and against Governor
Roosevelt because they hope and
believe Mr.. Hoover is dryer than
Governor Roosevelt.
33 Units Joined
This was the result today of a
protracted and stormy session of
the National Prohibition Board of
Strategy, composed of representa-
tives of SO militant dry organiza-
tions.
They stopped just short of for
NAL Endorsement of the Hoover
Curtis ticket and compromised by
issuing a lengthy statement Civ
ing the prohibition records OF
President Hoover, Vice President
Curtis, Governor Roosevelt, and
Speaker John N. Garner.
The records, of course, show that
from their public utterances Mr..
Hoover and Mr.. Curtis are great
deal dryer than Governor Roose-
velt and Speaker Garner.
Third Party Threat Dies
The action of the drys removes
any possibility of serious third
party movement. They tried to
get Senator William E. Borah to
head it, but he declined; they
made overtures to Gov. Clifford
Pinchot of Pennsylvania, but he
was not interested; and so, in
desperation, they did the best
they could by praising the Hoover
prohibition record and let 1T go
at that.
There is still the Prohibition
party's ticket, headed by former
Representative w. D. Upshaw,
but the politically sagacious heads
of the Board Of Strategy vir
tually ignored it.
Hoover Called Dry
Drys who wanted an outright
Endorsement of President Hoover
argued that he has been con-
sistently dry during his public
career, and pointed to his state
ment in his speech of acceptance
four years ago:
81 do not favor repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment"
In contrast, they cited Governor
Roosevelt's consistent advocacy of
repeal of the amendment. They
cited the fact that Curtis has
been an active prohibitionist since
1885, while Speaker Garner voted
against the Eighteenth Amend
ment, and against a great many
of the more drastic enforcement
acts.
Leaders Feel Blue
But, withholding formal indorSe-
ment of the Republican ticket,
they we're fearful of being "let
down" next month when Mr..
Hoover makes his speech of ac-
ceptance, for their are stories
about Washington that the Presi-
dent is going to "go wetter" than
the platform.
