ROCKEFELLER PASSES HIS 94TH
BIRTHDAY IN USUAL QUIET WAY

Breakfast was served OF 8 o'clock
and grace was said.
After breakfast Rockefeller rested
and then his personal attendants
bundled him up carefully. put an
old fashioned cap on his head with
ear muffS down, SO that at 8 o'clock
he could be on his private golf
course with his grand daughter,
Mrs. Abbie Rockefeller Milton.
This was the routine yesterday
last year, and it will be the routine
for as many tomorroW'S as nature
and Rockefeller's stamina allow
He hopes to live to be 100.
Only birthday cake with nine
white and four pink candles will
mark the day. 1t will be served at
dinner tonight where John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., Mrs. Rockefeller,
their children and grandchildren
will be guests. John D. Rockefeller,
III and his wife sailed yesterday
for Europe.
Likes Jokes
The few people outside the Rock
efeller family who have contact
with Rockefeller in his complete
seclusion from the world say his
outlook is philosophical, slightly
humorous. He enjoys his jokes; he
is moved by religious thought; he
gets tremendous thrill out of
good drive on the golf course and
enjoys passing out shiny dimes and
nickels when the spirit moves him.
He rests until p. m. when he
goes for his daily automobile ride.
Because reporters and photograph
ers will be waiting outside the gates
of his estate, the ride probably will
be confined to its many acres. He
returns to dinner which will be
followed by an organ recital. The
younger Rockefellers will join him
at his favorite game-numberica-
and promptly at 9, he will go to
bed.
Rockefeller returning from his
automobile ride yesterday, revealed
he has fallen into step with the
spirit of the day. Two
musicians entertained him on the
ferry that carried his car across
the Hudson river. Instead of a
shiny new dime he gave them
shiny new half dollar.

VICTIMS
AF TER FLOOD
Believe Score May Have Per-
ished When Sudden Storm Hits
Colorado Town.
BY OTTO CAMPBELL

MORRISON. Colo, July 8.-Up
and down precipitouS Bear Creek
canyon-yeSterday a peaceful va
cation land, but overnight a vista
OF deSolation and death-searchin
parties sought almost a score of
persons today who were believed
killed in sudden, disastrous flood.
A 10-foot wall of water rushed
down the canyon after a tempes-
tuous mountain cloudburst and
swept resort cabins, tourist auto
mobiles, and even business build
ings of two small towns before it.
-Four bodies have been recovered.
An incomplete checkup, hamp-
cred by broken communication lines
and washed out roads and bridges,
indicated at least Is more were not
accounted for. OF these more than
half were tourists. Their cars, shat
tered and torn as the terrific flood
flung them against the steep can
yon walls, provided the only clues
to their identity.
The flood was caused by typi-
cal mountain cloudburst, that came
suddenly during day of sunshine
and soft breezes.
Flying above the canyon as the
storm struck, a reporter saw black
cloud dumping terrific volume of
water upon the mountain slopes
which converged into Bear Greek,
ordinarily small trout brook. I'M
mediately it swept out of its banks,
covered the canyon road to depth
of 10 to 20 feet, snapped telephone
and electric light poles, and hurled
automobiles about like straWs.
Along that six mile stretch some
dozen motorists were driving when
the flood struck. OF these, only
one automobile load was accounted
for, and two of its occupants were
listed among the missing.
Not a house in Starbuck, a vii
lage of about $50 population, was
left untouched.
At Morrison, half the town was
wiped away.
The flood receded as quickly as
it came, leaving great piles of de-
bris. II was not until early today
that the power station was repair.
ed and resumed operations. The
water plant was wrecked and drink
ing water was brought in milk cans
from Red Rocks Park, five miles
away.

WILL AVOID
LABOR ROWS
Administration Exerts Pressure
To Speed Provisions Of Ma
tional Recovery Act.
BY II. o. THOMPSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

ICOo EONdll
WASHINGTON, July "a desire
to avoid labor disturbances is one
of the reasons behind the pres
sure being exerted TO bring indus
tries within the national recovery
act as speedily as possible, it was
learned today.
DR. Alexander Sachs, head of the
industrial administrations research
depaItmImt, cited the Shopmen'S 5
strike of 1922 as an example of the
type of labor dispute likely to arise
when a nation is cropping its way
out of hard times.
Bringing industries under codes
of fair competition would avert
this danger, since the codes must
guarantee the right of collective
bargaining. Long delays in making
the codes operative would increase
the probability of clashes between
capital and labor, according to the
feeling entertained by those aSSo-
ciated with the recovery movement.
Administrator Hugh johnson en-
phasized that the government in
tended to see that all labor, Or
ganized and ua)rganized, gets a
square deal" But he reiterated the
industrial administration did not
propose to act as an agency TO pro-
mote unionization of labor.
Johnson said literature purport-
ing to come from labor unions had
intimated or openly stated the gov
ernment planned to unionize all la
Dor. Similar statements from indus
trial concerns intimated workers
would have to join company unions
to benefit under the act.
Both statements are incorrect"
johnson declared, And such er-
roneous statements of the act and
it's administration tend to foment
misunderstanding and discord."
Administrators of the recovery
act look upon the next few weeks
as a perilous period.
Two elements enter the situation
over production and wild cat"
prices. Neither has substantial ba-
sis at present. Over production Is
caused by a desire of some mer-
chants and spectators to stock up
at low prices in advance of busi-
ness recovery. The advancing pri-
ces are speculative.
IF we get too far ahead of our
purchasing power it will mean a
new collapse" Johnson warned.

Code Planned
By Newspapers

LOS ANGELES, July s. {U.H -
The board of directors of the Cali
tornia Newspaper Publishers asso-
citation today was entrusted by 100
Southern California members with
the task of framing code of ethics
for newspapers to aid the national
recovery act.
The Southern California group,
meeting here, asked the board to
submit its proposals to members for
later considerations. The action was
contained in a motion introduced
by j. L. Mathews of Covina and
seconded by Justus F. Craemer OF
Orange.
Publishers explained that even
if newspapers were exempt from
general provisions of the federal
recovery act, total exemption would
be impossible because of their use
of supplies and materials and en-
ployment of union labor.
Members also discussed what ef-
feet the proposed state sales tax
would have on newspapers.
