Frightened Deer
Balks Rescue Try

WATKINS GLEN, N. Y, Sept. 5.
U.Pf-An attempt to frighten 4
young buck deer, stranded for II
days on a rocky ledge, across a
bridge leading to the opposite chasm
wall and freedom failed today.
Three times the puck scampered
to the bridge but each time it dart
ed back to the top of the ledge
where it could hide in the under
growth.
State police began guarding the
park at daybreak to keep visitors
out during the rescue attempt.
A meeting of state conservation
and park officials and experts on
wild animal life was called i'm
mediately after the attempt failed.
1t appeared probable they would
close the park to visitors this af-
ternoon and give the deer a mar
cotic. The drug will be given the
deer in food which is lowered daily
from the cliff. AS soon as the mar
cotic puts the animal to sleep, it
will be carried to freedom.

SW|F 7 ACTION
To Be TAKEN
IN MIRA DRIVE

CHICAGO, Sept. 5. tU.P)-General
Hugh S. Johnson, leader of the ad-
ministration's NRA battle staff, set
his corps for swift action today
against violators of the blue eagle
code in preparation for gigantic
national buying campaign.
I'VE have thousands of COM
plaintS," the vigorous director of
President Roosevelt's recovery ad-
ministration told 10000 listeners
who jammed the Hall of States at
A Century of Progress exposition
to hear his address. For the next
two weeks we shall concentrate
every effort on them"
johnson indicated a sharp swing
in emphasis was in prospect for
the NRA. Heretofore the main
work has been on the drafting and
consideration OF industrial codes.
This, he indicated, was nearing
completion. From now on the drive
will be to stimulate public buying
under the blue eagle, to enforce
provisions of the codes and to ward
against undue price rises.
THE first step is to be sure that
every man is to know what his OBJ
legations are" said johnson. "We
shall go to each man complained
of to find out the facts and to ex-
plain patiently his obligations. If,
after that, there is no compliance,
we shall let the public know about
It. 1t is a more severe penalty than
any puny fine 1t is we think,
enough; but if it should prove not
to be enough, there are plenty of
penalties in this law
The general made no mention of
the much publicized dispute be-
tween Henry Ford and the recov-
cry administration. He devoted his
address to brusque pronouncement
of general NRA plans and program.

PET FOX PROVES
Willy CUSTOMER

Even though he contends posses
sion is nine points of the law, Pete
Schmitt was too weak to argue the
question with the owner of silver
fox which was captured after a
wild chase over hill and dale.
Schmitt was sitting on the porch
of his cabin at Jacumba Yesterday
when the fox ran by. Schmitt gave
chase through the brush, water
melon patches and gardens for an
alleged two miles.
He finally caught the willy little
animal and nailed him up in pen
where he planned to keep him as
a pet. No sooner was the pen COM
pleted than a neighbor appeared,
claimed the fox, said thank you and
walked away with the runaway.
Schmitt gasped weakly in protest
as the neighbor and fox disappear
ed. He then continued rueful ex-
animation of his torn clothing.

HULL ORDERS
BATTLESH|PS
BACK To CUBA
New Revolution In Island De-
termines Secretary Of State
In Action.
WILL NOT INTERVENE
Protection Of Americans Cited
As Sole Motive For Sudden
Order.

WASHINGTON. Sept. S. .U.P) -
Secretary of State Hull today Or
dered 10000 ton cruiser and three
destroyers TO proceed under full
steam to Cuba to protect American
lives should the revolution against
the Cespedes government enter a
military phase.
In announcing his action, Hull
emphasized that the United States
was not intervening in Cuba, but
merely sought to protect its citi-
zens and interests there
The secretary asked the navy de-
partment to despatch the vessels
after he had talked twice with Am
passador Sumner Welles in Havana,
who considered the revolt threaten
ing.
The destroyer MacFarland sailed
from Key West early today The
destroyer Baixnbridge was ordered
south from Norfolk and the cruiser
Richmond was instructed to sail
north from off the Panama canal.
All three are going to Havana.
The destroyer Sturdevant, now at
Guantanamo Bay naval station,
Cuba, was sent to Santiago.
The four vessels carry small land
ing forces of marines and naval re-
serves. But Hull indicated no land
ing on Cuban soil was contemplated
except in an emergency. He said
the vessels were being sent today
under precisly the same conditions
as last month-to protect Ameri-
cans and to exert calming influ-
ence in the Cuban capital.
Before ordering the ships to Cuba
Hull consulted by radio with Pre-
sident Roosevelt, who is now steam
ing up the Potomac toward Wash
ington in the yacht Nourmahal and
due to disembark at midday.
The naval force will be under
command of Rear Admiral c. S..
Freeman, commander of the special
service squadron. He will make his
headquarters on the Richmond, q
light cruiser carrying complement
of 425 enlisted men and 65 marines.
The three destroyers each carry
complement of IS enlisted men.
1t was explained at the navy de-
partment that no additional ma
rines would be taken along as the
enlisted force of the navy was con-
sidered sufficient for any landing
party that might be necessary.

PRICE FIXING
FOR OIL CODE
STRIKES SNAC
Secretary Ickes Will Take The
Matter Before President This
Week.
By RONALD VAN TINE
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.-A dis
pute on the desirability of immed-
late price fixing under the oil code
will be carried to President Roose-
velt, it was understood today.
Secretary of Interior Ickes re-
Trained from setting a base price
Tor crude oil and gasoline in pro-
mitigating the Oil code Saturday
Leaders of the industry generally
approved his action, but some mem
bers OF the planning and coordin-
ating committee, administrative
body in charge of the code, were
disappointed.
The group felt that Ickes should
have assured the industry of at
least dollar a barrel crude as the
governments first act under the
code. At the s:arL of deliberations
after their appointment by the Pre-
sident last week, the members of
the committee agreed that any
statement of problems at hand
would be made by Ickes only.
1t was understood authoritatively
however, that among their recon-
mendations the committee provided
tor establishment of a minimum
price of more than S1.l0 for crude
oil. IckeS vetoed the recommended
ton in his order promulgating the
code, and was expected to confer
with the President on the wisdom
of his course soon alter the Presi-
dents return from vacation.
Will Defer Action
The secretary, whose task as Oil
administrator has been added to
those of chief of the interior de-
partment and director of the ad-
ministration's $3,300,O00,000 public
works program, permitted the oil
code to begin operating only by fix
ing maximum daily production for
the country at 2,409, 700 barrels.
Ickes announced he would defer
action on price fixing until effects
of the production ALLEGATION be-
tween the various states had been
determined. He said he hoped one
of these effects would be price raise
sufficient to make price fixing by
the government unnecessary.
The secretarys contention was
that Just because we are endowed
with broad powers, we need not nee
essarily use tnem.'' He said if pri-
ces did not rise soon after Septem-
Der 8, when production ALLEGATION
became effective, the government
would turn its thoughts to fixing
price which would benefit the in
dustry and at the same time pro-
tect the consumer.
The oil committee has scheduled
a meeting for tomorrow to resume
its study of prices, marketing and
other problems for further recon-
mendations to the secretary.
