added force to Howe's intimation
that the administration was pre-
pared to bring pressure on bank

Speaking of the general process
of recovery, Howe. said that "all
the news we have in Washington
is really most encouraging"
"From every direction it looks
as if we were rapidly emerging

Recovery, he emphasized, was a
question of courage primarily.

Two Ballonists
Missing A Week
Reach Civilization
Poles Believe They Set
Record; Americans
Still Missing

QUEBEC. Sept. 11.-(UP).-
Two tired Polish balloonists. who
set out from Chicago last Satur-
dav and by the middle of the week
had been given up for lost, rested
Sunday in the village of Riviere
Pierre, confident that they have
established a new distance record
for free balloons.
The men, Captain Francizek
Hynek and Lieutenant Zbignskl
Burznyski told of their adventure
in a telephone interview with. the
United Press while they waited at
a Riviere a Pierre hotel for the
arrival of the Polish consul.
Their balloon landed in the
top of a lofty tree about 100 miles
from Revere a Pierre last Mon
day. The two men, with nothing
to eat but a dozen oranges, then
started a hike back to civilization
which lasted until noon yesterday
when they struck railroad tracks
which led them TO the village oil
Lemieux. From there they rode
on into Riviere a Pierre.
"Our balloon" said Lieutenant
Burzynski LANDED in the tree at

covered about 1850 miles which
we think is a new record. We
climbed out of the basket, taking
the dozen oranges with US.
"For five solid days we walked
through dense forests. not sight

the railroad tracks at noon yes

were near the village of LemieuX
where we were greeted warmly
We were given substantial meal:

the food.

Postmaster R. H. Station > be-
lieves that the number of summer
residents and visitors to the town
and county this year has been as
large as last. In fact, the Post.
master thinks that the number OF
people serviced at the post office
in the month of August was never
exceeded, even in the days of the
real estate boom.
The cash business of the. post
office for July and August was a

WAGNER ASKS
INDUSTRIAL
PEACE IN j. s.
Would Discard Idea Gains
Can Result From "Har-
rowing Conflicts"

WASHINGTON, Sept. II (UP)
An appeal to employers and en-
ployees throughout the nation to
forget all feuds and to discard
the outworn notion that gains re-
suit from narrowing conflicts"
was made public last night by the
national labor board.
The plea came in a statement
by Senator Robert Wagner, DEM,
N. Y, head of the board created
by President Roosevelt to arbi-
trate and conciliate industrial dis
putes during the life of the Ma
tional Recovery Act.
1t was made on the eve of a
showdown between the recovery
administration and mine operators
over the coahcode. Administrator
Hugh S. Johnson said open hear
ings on the code he drew up for
the industry would begin Tues
day. He said negotiations between
the powerful Appalachian group
of operators and the United Mine
Workers of America have been
practically uninterrupted. %
From the cooperative, concili-
atory and reasonable attitude now
governing both sets of negotia-
tions," Johnson declared, 81 feel
justified in saying that my con-
fidence in our ability to get a
proper agreed code and a satisfac-
tory settlement has not been
shaken"
Wagner's appeal for peace be-
tween. employer and employe was
offered as his board was forced to
cope with an increasing number
of strikes and strike threats. J..
He emphasized the necessity of
opening and keeping. open as
many factories as possible. and
invited parties in labor disputes
to present their case to the ma
tional board on which the factions
are equally represented.
Employers were warned not to
take unfair advantage" of the
governments "no strike" policy
by refusing just demands of work
ers or by non-recognition of the
right to organize, a right Gun
equivocally granted by the 'recov-
cry act" go :...-t
"Permanent prosperity" Sena-
tor Wagner said, depends chief
ly up satisfactory adjustment OF
wages" :.. =,
He cautioned that if wage ad-
justments are made only in the
spirit "of selfishness and conflict
which has existed in the past, de.
pressions will be recurrent and
everyone will suffer-" e.
Johnson's hope of a satisfactory
agreement on the coal code was
echoed by John l.. Lewis, stocky
bushy haired president of the
Mine Workers. Emerging from q
meeting of the drafting commit
ee he told the United Press:
progress Is being made"
This optimism came in the face
of threats by the Alabama opera
tors to refrain from participating
in administration of the code if il
is imposed upon the industry in
its present form. These threats
were not regarded seriously by
administration officials.

Death DECREE
FOR 3 JAPS IS
BEING SOUGHT
Court Martial Hears Case
Growing Out Of Pre-
mier's Assassination

TOXIC, Sept. II. (UP)-
Death sentences for the naval
cadets Makami and Kuroiwa,
who shot the aged Premier In
ukai to death "for motives of
patriotism" were demanded by
the procurator at their court
martial today.
Death was also asked for
Cadet Kiyoshi Koga, ringleader
of the amazing plot, who killed
a policeman in the same upris-
ing.
Life sentences were demanded
for Cadets Nakamura, Yamagis-
hi, and Murayama, prominent in
the uprising. Sentences of six
years and three years for Cadet
Tsukano.
The sentences were recon-
mended to the naval court mar
tial trying the youthful cadets
as the result of the outbreak of
September 5, 1882.
Navy and army cadets, scions
of ancient Japanese families,
combined in an attempt to over
throw parliamentary government
in the empire, cause a breach
between the United States and
Japan, overthrow capitalism, and
return Japan to "the kingiy
way of by-gone centuries. ,
Mikami and Kuroiwa admitted
the actual assassination of Pre-
mier Inukai, who was shot to
death as he stood on his own
doorsteps. ,
Knowing he was to meet death
''for political reasons" lnukai
did not beg for his life, but in;
stead urged the youths to kill
him in a gentlemanly manner.
