"The United States delega.

framed with full knowledge
and appreciation both Of the
American domestic program
and the proposal for an inter-
nationally cOOrdinated vOlun-
tary economic policy for all
nations to pursue at the same
time in order to stimulate busi-
ness and improve prices.
"ThiS resolution was framed
in the exact language in which
it was presented at the confer

sailed.
Nothing has happened here
and nothing has happened in
the United States to change
the situation or to make it
more difficult to pursue the
domestic and the international

Hull's statement was issued for
the two-fold purpose OF assuring
the people at home that the
United States delegation here will
not undertake anything calcu'
lated to upset rising prices and
better times in America and also
assuring skeptical Europeans that
the American delegation is not
hampered by domestic strings in
carrying out the objectives Of
the conference.

Meanwhile, the first indication
came today that many nations de-

President Roosevelt's economic
recovery program. with its vast
delegation Of power from Con-
gress, will be made the basis. OF
the Republican campaign to cap
ture control of the next House
and Senate, Senator Dickinson,
chairman of the Republican Sena-
torial campaign committee, an
nounced today.
Hoping to elect a Republican
Congress in 1884, the Republicans
will charge the Democrats with
having revised the American form
Of government.
They will accuse a Democratic
Congress of yielding unconStitu-
tional power to the President and
Mr.. Roosevelt with an unccnSti-
tutional abuse of that power"
Militant Campaign
From this basic issue, the Re-
publicans will build a campaign
on Federal economies, Federal re-
organization, Federal regulation
of industry, and Federal fixing
Of farm prices.
The Republicans have little
chance to win the Senate but
might recapture control Of the
House, if they win a landslide
victory.
Chairman Dickinson and Rep
resentative Smell, Republican
House leader, have agreed to
start the campaign next month.
Lost Big Chance
From present indications. the
Republican House and Senate
campaign committees will join
hands for the first time within
memory to conduct a mutual
drive for votes.
The entire membership of the
House and one-third of the Sen
ate will be elected next year. The
expiring senatorial seats are now
held by II Republicans, IA Dem
ocrats, and l Farmer-Laborite.
To win control of the Senate,
the Republicans must capture 80
of the conteStS-an impossible
feat, since many of the seats are
in solid Democratic States.
The Republicans plan an early
start for theig campaign because
they lost a public forum in the
adjournment of Congress. The
Democrats meanwhile will control
a vast publicity system through
the regular operations of the Gov
ernment.

velt's executive order of a week
ago creating the Industrial Re.
covery and Public Works agen
cies have some unusual proVi
Sions, the most extraordinary OF
which prhaps gives General John
son power for only 30 days.
Executive Order
His appointment is apparently
permanent, but the exercise OF
his power is limited by the order
in the following terms:
"The administrator during
the ensuing 30 days shall have
authority, subject to the gen.
eral approval of the Special In
duStrial Recovery Board, to ap-
point the necessary personnel on
a temporary basis, to conduct
hearings, and do such other and
necessary work authorized un-
der Title l."
Efforts today to find out at the
Industrial Recovery Administra-
ton just what is implied by this
provision led to considerable hest
tation, followed ultimately by the
expression of the view that mo
body knows what will happen
after 80 days"
Speed Is Needed
General Johnson's powers will
be extended, since no one expects
recovery to be complete in 80 days.
It was held that a logical in
depreciation of the order would
mean that all appointments are
temporary, for the time being;
that it was important to get the
job started at once, and that those
persons most radily available
could be utilized under the cir
cumstances without embarrass-
ment should it be decided lated
that they were not vital to the
success of the organization.
Another view was that President
Roosevelt wants to keep close
control over the Industrial Recov-
cry agency and therefore delega-
ted authority only for 80 days,
covering the time he is away
from Washington on his vaca-
tion.
Still Shorter Time
Personnel officers adopted the
view that all appointments to the
emergency organizations are made
on a temporary basis, since they
are as yet in the experimental
stage.
A similar condition obtains in
the Public Works Administration
There Col. Donald H. Sawyer is
appointed permanently as admin
iStrator, with instructions to allot
$40O,0OO,O00 for public works
within 30 days.. A further pro-
viSo is that wiShin 20 days he is
to study the list of projects and
report to the President.

FUTURE
|SFORECAST

Government service, in the
future, will be more respected
than ever. though it's monetary
rewards will continue relatively
small, in the opinion of Walter
P. Taylor, of Tucson, Ariz., fifth
vice president of the National
Federation of Federal Employees,
writing in the current issue of
The Federal Employe.
However, he feels that great
industries will also be run con-
Siderably more on a basis of serv-
ice rather than profit. The Gov
ernment service, he feels, will at
tract the best citizens of the ma
tion because it will present the
greatest of all opportunities for
service,

RESCUED AFTER
BEING ADR|FT
50 HOURS
One by One Gallant Compan-
ions Slip to Death, as
FIotsam Is OVerburdened


KEWANEE, Wis, June "a
CI.N.SO.-Horribly blistered from
the sun and near collapse, Mrs.
Charles Rennie, jr., q, sole sur
Vivor of an airplane crash in Lake
Michigan that took the lives OF
three men, today told Of a dra-
matte 33-hour battle for life in
the cold waters.
Mrs. Rennie, the wife of Ira.
verse City (Mich0 oil company ex-
ecutive, was rescued last night by
car ferry No. 7, of the Ann Arbor
fleet, and brought here.
The dead are her 29-year-old
husband; his uncle, James Gil
lette, %, pilot, and a mechanic,
Peter Keller.
Gave Lives for Her
Through parched lips, she told
doctors on her arrival here that
the three men apparently had
given up their lives that she
might cling to a battered gasoline
tank that they had torn from the
sinking airplane.
She had clung to the Hnakeshift
raft for 33 hours, awaiting the
rescue which came at dusk last
night when the car ferry nosed
through the gathering dusk and
picked her up Is miles west Of
Frankfort.
Her husband and the other two
men had slipped, one by one, into
the cold waters when they became
convinced that the light tank
would support only her weight.
The plane left Traverse City at
10 a.. m, Thursday, Mrs. Rennie
related, and ran into fog that
engulfed them. They were flying
across the lake to Milwaukee.
Plane Had POnt0Ons
Pilot Gillette dropped the plane
into the lake when he attempted
a landing in the mist. The air.
plane, belonging to Gillette, was
equipped with pontoonS.
The plane floated for a time,
Mrs. Rennie said, and the men
swan about, steadying the wreck
age, while she sat in the cockpit.
The three had suffered injuries in
the crash, she believed, but re-
fused to admit their plight to her.
AS the wreckage sank beneath
the waves, the three tore away the
gasoline tank, emptied it's con-
tents, and used it as a makeshift
float, placing Mrs. Rennie upon
its top. She had. to lie on her
stomach, the blistering sun beat
ing down on her back.
Pilot Slips to Death
The combined weight of the
three men constantly threatened
to pull the tank under, she said,
and at dusk Thursday Gillette
pleaded exhaustion and slipped
beneath the waves. The widow
said:
81 think he did it because he
feared he was Overbalancing the
tank"
Near dawn yesterday Keller, too,
disappeared as the tank began to
leak water.
For four hours, Rennie and his
wife remained afloat together, but
r e ennie was fast losing his
strength.
Then a boat passed, but did
not see their feeble signals for
aid. She said:
Charles lost hope as the
boat disappeared, and, although
I pleaded with him to stay,
he gave me his watch and ring,
kissed me, and said 'GOod-by,'
slipping down and away.
"Then I was alone, the sun
beating down on me all day.
] was able to drink the lake
water, and that kept me from
thirst.
Several boats passed by, but
none saw me waving my jacket,
nor did they hear my shouts.
The glare of the sun became
unbearable.
II thought it was the end
aS night came along, but / was
SO weak I didn't care.'

Hoarding Peril Worries

Fears that gold boarding will

gold bloc were expressed today
as representatives of nations still

their private conferences on how
to avoid slipping from the gold
basis.
Following Americas refusal to
enter a temporary currency sta.
bilization agreement and the con.
sequent possibility that France,
Holland, and Switzerland may
be forced off gold, there were
marked indications that boarding
of the yellow metal in Europe
already has begun.

Expected to Find ScOld
I went to meet Mr.. Shaw with
the feeling that I'd find an old
scold with a chronic crouch for
everything in life but royalty
returns. He was running true to
form when he sarcastically said:
eyes, I'll receive Walker, but
will he be on time?
Now what do you suppose made
him ask that?
Well, we met and we kept meet
ing for an hour, and I was COM
pletely disillusioned. Everything
I expected in Mr.. Shaw was alb
sent and everything I didn't an
ticipate was present-none of the
irritability. none of the impa-

He is so mild, softly spoken, and
even kindly that if it wasn't his

have thought was visiting an i'm

and smartly dressed in a sport
shirt I wouldn't have the nerve to
try to get away with.
His Views on Farley
What wanted to know was
what mine host" thought of the
i World Economic Conference, and
for a long while he discussed the
subject calmly and constructively.
When suddenly, it seemed to me,
he realized he might lose his repu-
tation for cauStic cracks, he
changed his attitude and finished
off with this summation
"A lot of imbecileS who have
ruined their own countries have
gotten together to do as much
for the world in general"
So in an hours monologue I
found out that while the conven-
tion didn't interest him very
much privately, he was very ex-
