$4,000, 900 cards bearing the con-
sumers' statement of cooperation.
The cards, which will be dis
tributed by the postmasters, bear
the consumers pledge of coopera-

to patronize only employers and
workers who are members of tl -

Mr.. Carter said that the Gov
ernment Printing Office had been
at work for over week on the
printing job which involved, in
all, about $4,000, 900 pieces. 1t has

that failure to cooperate in the
effort to restore commodity
prices, provide a living wage for
the employed, reduce unemploy-
ment, and at the same time pro-
vide a fair investment for
capital would mean a return to
such conditions.
Foundation Is Built
In its essence, however, the
address Of the President was one
of intense optimism. He said:
eve have built a granite
foundation in a period of con-
fusion. I cannot guarantee the
success Of this nationwide
plan, but the people of this
country can guarantee its sue
cess"
The major note struck in the
speech embraced a fervent and
often repeated appeal to industry
to enter the general trade
covenant for shorter work hours
and higher wages.
At the same time, Mr.. Roose-
velt outlined his plan for cutting
agricultural production to fit the
Nations demands and thus rails
ing the price of farm COM
modities. Summing the diff
culties to be overcome, he said:
"FOr many years the two
great barriers to a normal pros
Eerity have been low farm
prices and the creeping paralysis
Of unemployment. These factors
have cut the purchasing power
of the country in half. I
promised action. Congress did
its part when it passed the
farm and the industrial re-
cOvery acts.
To-day we are putting these
two acts to work, and they will
work if people understand
their plain ObjectiveS."
Product of Careful Study
Mr.. Roosevelt said his great re-
covery program was a result of
careful study which convinced

OUT REVOLT

MADRID, July Is Q,N.S).
Arrests continued today as the
Spanish government moved swift
ly to stamp out threats of an
other revolt against the socialist
regime of Premier Manuel Azana.
A special cabinet meeting was
held to discuss the situation, af-
ter which government officials
stated the steps now being taken
were merely preventative"
1t was learned, however, that
Fascist and Syndicalist elements
had reached an agreement to
launch a nation wide terroriStic
campaign, which they planned to
continue for at least a month.
BY that time, the plotters felt,
the country would be clamoring
for a conservative dictatorship to
restore order and replace the
present government.
It was also reported certain
military elements were impli-
Gated in the plot, aimed at end
ing Socialism in Spain.

just beginning to turn. It was a
supreme effort to accelerate their
motion.
ar. Roosevelt spoke over a
nationwide radio hookup and
directed his words particularly to
the conference of governors gath
cred in San Francisco and repre-.
senting the people of these United
States.
The foundation stones for pros
perity have been hewn, the Presi-
dent declared. Courses for the
future have been charted. There
must come now, to bring success,
and in return for rounded govern
mental leadership, an unstinting
support in the national drive to
raise wages and create employ
ment.
Clearly, the Executive ex.
planned, all that is possible to
start the country moving toward
better times has been done. He
reviewed the work to that end
accomplished since March 4, and
found it good. From now on,
said Mr.. Roosevelt, it is up to
the American people.
Program Not a Cure-AI
The President made it bluntly
clear that he does not consider
his recovery program a "cure-all''
and does not believe in panaceas.
He took pains to point out that
it was based on the oldest OF
principles-that on which this
Government was founded-that
all working together can accom-
plish what one cannot do.
Confidence that agriculture and
industry would fall in line was
clearly expressed. At the same
time, the President did not
minimize the dangers which
might accrue should any group
shirk it's job. =
He pictured the past four years
as economic hell" and warned

Ickes Says Project Held Over
From Old Administration
Must Meet Standards

All rivers and harborS projects

BY International News Service
All rivers and harborS projects
proposed and incompleted by the
Hoover administration will be re-
viewed by the Public Works Board
before money is allotted from the
$3,300,000,000 public works fund,
Secretary of Interior IckeS, Public
Works Administrator, announced
today.
Engineers of the Public Works
Board have been set to work to
draft a general program for the
entire Mississippi Valley. They
will report upon navigation, power
and flood-control projects. 1ckes
said:
Most Of the Mississippi VAL
ley projects are inheritanceS
from the former administration.
We don't want to undertake
them unless they meet our
standards"
Ickes indicated the board will
consider proposals to build huge
reservoirs to control Mississippi
River and tributary floods, build
ing dams that would provide cleo
trio power to help pay for the
work.
WaterleSS Town
The upper Missouri project, the
Wabash River flood control pro
ject, and similar Central West
proposals are before the engineers
Informed that residents Of Nor
rison, Colo, which was struck by
a cloudburst recently, are being
forced to drink water from
stream, Ickes said he would i'm
mediately consider the towns ap'
plication for $4,000 to rehabili
tate it's water plant.
He said the public works board
is now ready to consider the
Army housing and motoriZation
plans if reSubmitted by Secre
tary of War Dern.
With the Government urging
employers to raise wages and
thus restore purchasing power OF
the masses, spokesmen for labor
were demanding that the Public
Works Administration take the
lead in forcing higher wages.
With the recovery act requiring
use of the 30-hour week on all
public works so far as possible
labor Is demanding a sharp in
crease in the hourly rate.
PeOnage Quiz Recalled
The issue is understood to be
causing difficulty in the allot-
ment of rivers and harbors con-
tracts and flood control. Charges
of peonage in flood control work
or the lower Mississippi River
brought a congressional investi-
CATION last year.
In announcing grants OF
$19,851,648 for Federal public
works, the public works board
made public a resolution requir.
ing the use of local labor and
materials as far as possible.
Ickes said this policy would be
enforced on all projects. but If
building or other materials in a
locality increase the cost Of a
building unreasonably, other
material may be used.

Couple Undecided About Hop
To Bagdad; New York
Welcome Deferred

NEW YORK, July 25 Q.N.S).
In borrowed pajamas and better
spirits, Capt. James A. Mollison,
British flying ace, and his wife,
Amy johnson Mollison, awoke
in their hotel suite today to find
New York impatiently waiting to
accord them a royal welcome.
But it won't be accorded today
Physicians under whose care
the famous flying couple was
placed on their arrival at Floyd
Bennett Field from Bridgeport,
Conn, near where they crashed
Sunday night, agreed that both
Mollison and his wife were re-
covering we'll from their hurts,
but that participation in a New
York welcoming demonstration
was out Of the question for at
least few days.
Bagdad Hop Delayed
Mrs. Mollison seemed in slightly
better shape than her plucky hus-
band, who suffered severe lacera-
tions and bruises when their
monoplane Seafarer crashed in q
marsh as Mollison attempted to
set it down on the Bridgeport
Airfield, bringing to a sad end
their projected nonstop flight
from Pendine, Wales, to New
York.
Members of the official wei.
coming committee agreed to let
plans for the city's welcome be
held IN allegiance pending com
plete recovery of the flying pair.
Meantime, Vernon Stuarten,
local representative for the Mol
lisons, said arrangements for
their flight to Bagdad are being
held up also.
The daring little Scot and his
wife had planned to make the
nonstop jump to New York, rest
here day or so, then take off
for England on another nonstop
dash in hope of setting a new
speed-distance record.
Many Offer Planes
The plane in which the couple
so nearly finished the first stage
of their route was wrecked in the
Connecticut crash and almost be-
yond repair. Offers of planes
for the Bagdad flight, however,
have poured in, Stuart said, al
though no decision has yet been
made on acceptance of any.

with the interview. She was
asked:

as Aimee went on deck on the
arm of her nurse to pose ano
talk for a sound newsreel outfit.
The questions and answers
then were continued in the cap
tain's cabin.
"Are you going to contest
HuttOn'S divorce actiOn?"

A shadow of pain crossed hel

Steiwer wired Pecora:
"Papers carry story that Sem

of the horses had been unpeasantly close that
day to battle sounds that still all too fresh
in their memories; which made things no easier
for rookie riders. So seats were sometimes un-
easy, II spirits were high, as the cavalcade clat-
tered over the crushed stone of the Route
Natonale that led northwestward two miles to
the BoiS de Nonsard, and through that wood,
three miles more to Vigneulles, main crossroad
of the whole st. Mihiel salient.
TO vigneulles, the orders said they were to

to blow up a railroad Nothing startling or

The reason was that, miraculously, the

deadly threat to the German line of retreat.
