At dawn, when the tide was out,
we reached one wing of the plane
and took off the canvas cover.
We used this to make a roof for
our camp.
Altfilisch had repaired his ra-
dio receiving set and we could
hear the news from AngmaSalik
that three trawlers, a motor
launch and an airplane were look
ing for us. The crumpling of the.
ice, with as much noise as can
non fire, made mockery of our
signals.
We decided to explore the
island. The children had colds.
Their feet were swollen and
bleeding from landing on the
rocks. We used life preserver
covers to make shoes for them.
Another night set in. At about
10 o'clock we saw a light, which
seemed to be some ten miles at
sea. The ice fields were thick,
and often the light would be hid
den by the ice.
We realized that if the ship
passed us, we might never get off
the ford. We used our last fuel,
and our last flares, stalking every
thing attracting attention.

HOOVER PLEA
SOUNDED FOR
CHARITY FUNDS
Need Great in Last Winter
of Great Calamity He
Tells Farley.
BY LYLE G. WILSON


WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-PreSi-
dent Hoover today addressed TO the
nation through the conference on
welfare and relief mobilization a
plea for generous charity in the
last winter of this great calamity"
THE need before us is immedi-
ate,' said Mr. Hoover. ut is large.
Millions of men and women face
the approach of winter with fear in
their hearts. The children sense
the dread of their elders"
The President said the federal
emergency relief program had Gre
ated a backlog of support for pri-
yate philanthropy through the
thousands of relief and social agen-
cies.
Baker Pledges Effort
He said private and public efforts
already were bringing results in the
form of increased employment and
rising prices.
Mr.. Hoover addressed the con-
ference at the White House with a
four-point program of detectives for
relief and welfare organizations.
Newton D. Baker, conference
chairman, replied with a pledge of
nation wide effort. He said that
within recent months between
100000 and 100000 grown boys had
fled their homes to the open road
because the path to gainful employ
ment is closed to them.
The Presidents program was as
follows:
l. To see that no man, woman or
child shall go hungry or unsheltered
through the approaching winter.
Last Winter of Calamity
2. To see that our great benevo-
lent agencies for character build
ing, for disqualification, for care OF
children and all their vast number
of agencies of voluntary solicitude
for the less fortunates are main
tanned in full strength.
3. To maintain the bedrock prin-
ciple of our liberties by the full mo-
bilization of indidivual and local
resources and responsibilities.
4. Maintain the spiritual impulses
in our people for generous giving
and generous Service-in the spirit
that each is his brothers keeper.
This is, I trust, the last winter
of this great calamity" Mr.. Hoover
added. yet despite a dawning hope
on the horizon, individual need in
the meantime may be greater than
before"

torney John A. Swanson said today
he would investigate thoroughly the
three billion dollar utilities empire
of Samuel insult, which collapsed
with loss to investors and creditors
estimated at more than $1,000, 1000, 900.
Swanson's announcement followed
a new series of startling revelations
in the complex affairs of the top
pied utilities pyramid.
simultaneously, it was learned a
federal postoffice inspector was
watching developments in the case.
Dwight Green, United States dis
trict attorney was at Washington,
but denied his trip had any con-
nection with the insult debacle.
New President Named
Revelation that an official inquiry
impended in the crash of the vast
utilities chain, tenacleS of which
spread over virtually the entire ma
ton, came as receivers for Middle
West Utilities Company prepared to
submit their first report to the
United States district court.
The Middle West Utilities Com
pany was the central holding cor
poration of the insult interests and
had a capitalization of 100000, 900.
A report on insult Utilities Invest
ntS, Inc, sister holding cor
ration, this week showed a $685.
10000 deficit.
However, many operating corpo-
rations of the Middle West group
are reported in good shape, and
hope has been expressed that stock
holders eventually may salvage
something out of this concern.
Receivers of Middle West shared
this belief in statement accom-
panying announcement of appoint
ment of Grover C. Neff, Wiscon-
sin utilities expert, as president of
the concern, effective today.
Neff succeeds Martin insult,
brother of Samuel, in this post,
which has been vacant since his
resignation at the time of appoint
ment of receivers last May.
Aids Brother, and Crashes
AT the same time, it was report
ed the final abdication of Samuel
insult from all his vast holdings
was forced largely because of his
efforts to aid his brother. insult
resigned all his connections a month
after his concerns went into re-
ownership. He had been Named CO.
receiver.
This version was to the effect that
Samuel insult had protected stock
margin accounts of his brother by
authorizing a withdrawal of funds
from the treasury of one of the
large operating concerns.
When the other receivers dis
covered the transaction, InSellS
abdication resulted.
