The Nebraskan, Senate author Of the

iholds" and would be used by corpo-
Erations to invalidate the act.

THE Legislative history showed that
the bill passed both the House and the
Senate by much more than thirds

CHICAGO, June 3-Half a million
Chicagoans face starvation unless Fed
eral aid is procured. a group OF bankers
and civic leaders told President Hoover
by telephone yesterday.
The action was taken after the 1lli-
nois Emergency Relief Commission an
nounced that dwindling finances will
force the closing of the city's relief sta
tions after Saturday night.
Living on S23 a Month.
Wilfrcd s. Reynolds. executive Sec
retary of the commission. said it has
been feeding 1l1,000 families, or 500,-
900 persons at s23 a month and that
these persons will have no other place
to obtain food.
The fact that between five and six
hundred thousand people will be with
out food leaves no doubt as to the
seriousness of the situation" said a
formal statement from commission
headquarters, in summoning 83 buSi-
ness and civic leaders to a conference
tomorrow.
If market, at present unexpected,
could be found for Sc, 900 in tax an
ticipation warrants, relief work could
be continued until August /, said
Reynolds.
Situation Is Desperate.
Mayor Anton j. Cermak declared
later in the day that Federal aid would
be necessary after August l, even If the
tax warrants were sold.
I'VE are trying to prevent what We
believe will be calamity" the mayor was
told by Karl Borders, head OF dele

u. 5. MAN TO HELP
RECOVER TREASURE
Called to Open Big Chests
From Sunken vessel-S2,-
100000 Hunted.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June IA master
locksmith embarked for Europe today
on an adventure that may take him to
the bottom Of the sea to release treas
ure buried beneath the waves since the
ship containing 1t was sunk during the
World War
To the romance Of participating in
salvaging this sunken treasure-some
s2,000,o0O in gold-there was added
the spice OF mystery that brought an
added thrill.
Close Secrecy Maintained.
For Charles Courtney, the master
locksmith and president of the Amer
lean Master Locksmiths' Association,
did not know at what port in Europe
he would land. The salvagihg concern
which engaged him gave instructions
that he was to have his passport visaed
to permit him to land in England,
France, or Germany. He was told an
agent would meet him at Southampton,
Cherbourg, or Bremen to give him fur
ther orders.
The secrecy extended to the name
and location OF the sunken ship. All
Courtney knows definitely is that three
steel chests have been taken out OF
the hulk and landed in Europe.
His first job at the secret rendezvous
will be to try to open two of the chests.
Acetylene torches were used on one
and in the process valuable papers were
so badly damaged the salvagers gave
up that method.
European Experts Fail.
For the job that has defied the ex-
perts of Europe, Courtney carried q
very modest set of tools. Corrosion
may make his task more difficult, but
that does not dismay Courtney. There
isn't a lock made that hasn't its weak
point" he said.
There is an option in his agreement
that provides he may descend to the
sunken hulk and attempt to open its
large vault. But he was undecided
whether to undertake that part Of the
job.
i've never been in q diving suit be-
fore" he explained.
