struggled from the plane as those
who had witnessed the landing
hastened to his aid. His first re-
quest was for assistance in repair
ing the plane.
Post had been in the air for %
hours and 80 minutes when he
brought his plane down here at
$50 p. m. last night, washington
time.
He had conquered the treacher-
Gus hop over Okhotsk Sea, the
Kamchatka Peninsula, and the
Bering Sea, and bravely con-
tinued on after circling Nome at
1:25 yesterday. Through low lying
clouds and dense fog he had kept
a true course over this 2,50O-mile
stretch guided by the steady
stream of army station radio sig
mails.
The directional signals were dis
continued after the flier passed
Nome, but he apparently kept on
his course until after he passed
Ruby, Alaska, half way between
Nome and Fairbanks. He had
been following the Yukon River
but somewhere beyond Ruby he
became confused and lost his
bearings.
Passed Alaskan Filler
Under the low lying clouds he
turned to the southwest instead
of eastward to Fairbanks and
after hours Of wandering finally
came down here.
BY a queer quirk Of fate he
passed an Alaskan flier 30 miles
east Of Ruby who could have
guided him safely into Fairbanks.
Noel Wien reported that Posts
plane passed him as he was fly
ing from Ruby to Nome. Wien
kept on his way.
It was apparently shortly after
passing Wien that Post became
lost.
Post had put behind him ap-
proximately 10000 miles of his
15,500-mile globe-circling itinerary
when he lost his way. Had he
reached Fairbanks, his planned
refueling and rest stop, he would
have but $3.50 miles still to go.
He had planned to make this in
two hops, ,450 miles to Edmon-
ton, Canada, and 1900 miles to
New York.
The veteran flier still has a
change of beating the round-the-
world record he made with Harold
Gatty in 1881 when they en-
circled the globe in 8 days is hours
and 81 minutes.
When Post roared over Nome
yesterday he was 81 hours and
20 minutes ahead Of the record
ne and Gatty made on their
flight in 1881. i ..-.-,..,

one man-Harold L. Ickes. Of Chi
cago-and does he occupy a

He is being besieged daily by

asking their projects be approved.
The erStwhile Republican and
later a Bull MooSer in the days OF

Gributtng vast sums Of money, he

No direct appeal will be made
to boycott those who refuse to ac-
cept the plan, but official disap-
proval of their attitude will be
made manifest to the buying pub

Indirect Boycott Hinted
In fact, Gen. Hugh johnson, re-
covery administrator, intimated
the Government would launch an
indirect boycott of those indus
tries which failed to fall in line
Presidential approval Of the
wage and hour agreement, which
was drawn up by johnson and
his aides with the advice of the
Chief Executive, was announced
at the White House by the re-
covery administrator last night
following a two-hour conference
with Mr.. Roosevelt. Johnson said:
"This is an appeal to those
good instincts in our people
which have never been besOught
in vain. But it is not a balIy-
hoo campaign. The plan is new;
the agreement is not simple
and a thorough public program
of explanation is needed and
will be carried out.
UNITED ACTION URGED
"After four years of hopeless
and seemingly helpless suffering
and inactiOn, 1t would be un-
fOrgivable not to open to the
country the chance it now has
under this law to unite once
more to overcome an emergency
and, 1t may be, defeat depres-
sion.
This is a test of patriotism.
1t is the time to demonstrate
the faith of our fathers and
our belief in ourselves. We are
q people disciplined by demOc-
racy to a self control, sufficient
to unite our purchasing power,
our labor power, our manage

great national covenant with

with the calm cOmpOSure and
fair play which should always
mark the American way"
Prices Outstrip Wage Rise
This effort on the part of the
Government to restore confidence
throughout the country by an in

City's Big Wet Vote Cuts Down
Early Margin Rolled Up
In Dry Districts

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 81
ON.SO.-Tennessee, the nine
teenth State to turn its back on
prohibition, today had definitely
Joined the wet parade, although
by a slim margin.
Unofficial returns from 1885
Of the States 2.232 precincts
tailed gave the repealists 122,319
votes as against 111,624 for re-
tention Of the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
Margin Less Than 11,OOO
With an advantage of less than
1000 votes. the repealists' fight
against prohibition in Tennessee
was the bitterest thus far encoun-
tered in the nationwide trend TO-
ward repeal.
Although the margin Of victory
was small, no doubt Of the out
come was left as the vets recov-
cred from the startling Swiftness
with which the dryS heaped a
huge majority in the early re-
turns.
There was not a sufficient
number of ballots remaining in
the missing boxes, however, to
turn the wet victory into defeat
should all the votes tally dry.
Memphis Turns Tide
Memphis turned the tide, how
ever, by giving a repeal majority
of 10000 from ia Of the 126 pre-
cincts in Shelby county. This
nullified the $4,000 dry majority
rolled up earlier in the first and
second districts.
The vote was close in Knox
vile. the repealistS lead being
only 248 votes.
Nashville furnished the vets
with a 5000 majority with SO Of
the II precincts reporting.
Tennessee was the third
southern State to fall in the un-
broken repeal lineup. The set
back suffered by dry forces in
Alabama and Arkansas goaded
anti-repealistS to concentrate their
strength here.
Convention August IL
Delegates to the repeal conven-
ton to be held here August IL
were voted on by the State as a
whole in yesterdays referendum.
Drys and repealists each sub
mitted a ticket Of SO candidates,
enabling a State majority vote to
govern the repeal convention.
Democratic party leaders rallied
to the repeal cause in the pre-
election campaign, urging a wet
vote as q policy Of party loyalty.
Opposing their efforts were dry
leaders pleading for a vote which
would return Tennessee as the
first State to vote against the
twenty-first amendment revoking
the eighteenth.

application for one.
He was known, however, to
have asked County Attorney John

whether he could issue a marriage
license to a person who had been
divorced less than a year.
Iowa law forbids the remar,

So, 300, 100000 public works pro-

Interior Ickes as administrator
of public works, was ready to lay
his recommendations before the
President.
Road Building Near
While the public works organi-
cation was still in its formative
stage, reports we're received that
highway construction financed
from the bond issue will be
started in New York and Massa-
chusetts within two weeks.
An additional allotment Of
$73, ,482,478 for roads brought the
total for this purpose granted to
States to $24O,014,841. The Pres
ident set aside $400,00O,00O for
roads.
Pleas for Federal grants and
loans for public works costing
hundreds of millions Of dollars
already are before the Public
Works Administration.
City Ownership Seen
States, counties, cities and other
public bodies are eager to launch
their projects to provide Jobs.
The distribution, however, will
not get under way until both
regional administrators and State

for the most part were held up
pending a presidential decision on
the division of 5000 100000 for

Secretary 1ckes indicated that
the public works fund may be
widely used to spur municipal
ownership. He declared that ap-
plications for funds to build
municipal electric light plants,
even where there is an existing
privately-owned plant, will be

MARKET CRASH
HELD BOON To
RECOVERY
Stocks Were Duplicating 1929
Antics; Good News Still
Ahead for Industry

NEW YORK, July 81 Q.N.S0
In three and a half months the
stock market has had a more than
100 per cent advance. 1t has gone
from around $50 in the industrial
stock price index to $110.
In the last two days the market
has sold down to $96.26, loss OF
less than $13 from the peak.
A few individual issues like the
liquor stocks have done better
than this, both on the upside and
more recently on the down.
Spectators Blue
Now the Wall Street gambling
fraternity and that part Of the
public foolishly caught with slim
margins in the speculation are
blue. All because of a % per cent
correction Of an overbulled mar
ket.
The decline has not been over
done. A IS per cent correction
would not be out Of line, consid-
ering the extent and speed Of the
last three months rise.
This decline does not change
the business outlook for the next
six to eight months. If anything
it enhances that outlook. A
continuation Of the markets of
the last month without this cur
rent correction would decidedly
have periled the whole Washing
ton recovery program.
The market was starting to
run away into a duplication Of
'2S, and the only result would
have been a tremendous crash,
the shock Of which might put
recuperating business right back
in the hospital.
Good News Ahead
The good news is still ahead.
The national recovery act, with
its promise of increased employ
ment for labor and no more
deficits for industry, has only
started to function.
The great basic industries, like
oil, copper, steel, textiles, which
have been torn by cutthroat COM
petition and demoralized prices
for two and more years, are only
beginning to feel the benefits
from the recovery act.
The great corporations in these
industries are now getting back
on the profit side Of the ledgers.
Their reports for the second and
third quarter of this year are still
to come out, showing the tremen-
dous improvement of the last few
weeks in business.

4O-HOUR WEEK
FOR WORKERS
SOUGHT HERE
Higher Wages Than Contained
In Presidential Code
Also Considered

President Roosevelt's blanket
code for the nations industries
came today in midst of discussions
by various Washington industries
of individual codes that probably
will provide longer hours but
higher wages than those suggested
by the President.
Leaders in Washington in pre-
pairing their own codes have in
many instances leaned toward a
40-hour week for all employees,
while the Presidents blanket code
calls for a 35-hour week for la
borerS. He does advocate, how
ever, 40-hour week for white
collar workers at a minimum sal.
ary of from $12 to SIS a week.
The minimum wage scale for la
borers has been set at 40 cents an
hour.
No Collective Code
Claude w. Owen, president of
the Board of Trade said:
"The Board of Trade has not
gone into the matter of pre-
pairing a collective code because
Of the diverse channels Of
industry and business which we
encompass.
"The individual members,
however, are busy preparing
their own codes which they will
present to the administration
within the next week, / think
most of them favor a minimum
4O-hOur week for all employees
and 1 believe the 3'ges are
somewhat higher than those
proposed by the President"
The Chamber of Commerce is
now wrestling with the problem
of whether the District of Co.
lumbia belongs to the South or
North, as President Roosevelt has
decreed higher wages in the
northern States than he has in
the southern States.
The new presidential code will
be taken up for consideration by
the board of directors of the
chamber at an early date.
Wages May Be Scaled
A. Lee Thompson, owner of one
of the citys larges dairies and a
member of the board of directors
of the chamber, declared that the
wages specified in the blanket
code were lower than those paid
in his industry and suggested that
it was not impossible that the
wages may be scaled to meet the
Presidents minimum code if the
regulations dictated were put in
force locally. He said. however,
that this would be matter for
discussion when he code is def
nitely presented to industrial
leaders here.
