PLACID, N. Y, August 30.-Sandwiches,
water and oranges were lowered over
a dizzy cliffside today to three Boy
Scouts, marooned on narrow ledge Of
rock, 400 feet high, since yesterday
morning.
The package Of food dangled at the
end Of a 1,o00-foot rope from the top
of the sheer rock side of Wall Cliff
Mountain, and was finally caught by
the youths.
Because of sharp rocks which threat
ened to sever the rope, no attempt was
made to hoist the stranded youths to
the top of the half dome shaped noun
tain, in the heart of the Adirondack
wilderness.
A State policeman was dispatched
from the rescue camp to Lake Placid,
is miles away, to obtain 500 feet more
Of heavy rope Because of the weight,
the rope was to be put IN an airplane
and dropped to the party on the noun
tain top.
Heavy rope, the rescuers believed,
would hoist the boys safely past sharp
rocks, particularly q ledge jutting out
from the cliff several hundred feet
above the boys.

BIG BAY, Mich, August 30.-Henry
Ford, on vacation at the Huron Noun

discuss statements made in Washing
ton by Gen. Hugh S. johnson, recovery
administrator, that maybe the Ameri-
can people will crack down on Ford
if he does not obtain the Blue Eagle.
II have nothing to say at all about
the N. r. A." Ford told his questioner
He declined to answer any questions
about his further plans, and would not
say whether he plans a statement when
he returns from his vacation.
Other Ford officials at this upper
Michigan village with the motor manu-
facturer refused any comment what
soever on the activities of the Ford
Motor Co.
Ford and Mrs. Ford inspected an
old lumber yard here briefly today in
an excursion from the Huron Noun

motor magnate would not say when he
planned to return to Detroit.
Ford said some time ago that he
would have to live down to the code"
if he adopted 1t and followed its pro-
visions, which he compared unfavorably
with his own scale of hours and wages.

Mr.. Davis is accompanied only by
his secretary. Robert P Pell, and will
form the one-man delegation at the

ference at Geneva.

be hardly described as a delegate. He

and purpose out Of the Geneva picture.
The proposals made last May at Geneva
by the President, which include Amer
ica's abandonment of the freedom of
aggression and a consultative pact to
lead to the finding of the aggressor,
still hold good But this IS mostly
theory because these proposals have not
been found adequate by the interested
nations.
First United States Offer Stands.
America has nothing more to offer,
and if the Disarmament Conference is
to be a success any further initiative
must come from the other powers, on
the basis of real disarmament which

proposals.
There is little hope in official quar-
tiers in Washington that anything con-
structive will be achieved at Geneva
The best that can be hoped. 1t was
stated today, is that the conference
will find some adequate way of ad-

perturbation throughout the world.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, August 30
President Roosevelt has asked Gen.
Hugh S. johnson, industrial adminis-
TRAITOR for report on the failure of
Henry Ford to enroll under the new
working agreement for the automobile
industry.
Mr.. Roosevelt wants the latest news
on this before he departs tomorrow for
a vacation cruise back to Washington
and there is indication he is considering
action, although the President is saying
nothing about that and making no
threats.
In talking with Gen. johnson it was
stated no word had been received at
Washington so far from the Michigan
auto maker. Inquiries here about the
use of the drastic licensing power to
impose the N. R. A. working code on
Ford brought the answer that no de-
tailed consideration has been given so
far to this piece Of authority.
Ford Only Non-Signer.
Mr.. Roosevelt has relied entirely so
far on the voluntary cooperation OF
the people and he has formally declared
this to have succeeded. The agreement
fixing working hours and wages for
gigantic automobile industry was signed
by the President late last week and II
has the support of every other branch
OF this industry except Ford, VINO Is

D. c. RELIEF PLANS
OPPOSED BY KING
Senator to See Commission
ers Particularly About
Increasing Cost.

Extreme dissatisfaction with the
projected set-up of the District Unem-
ploymen Relief Administration was ex-
pressed today by Chairman King of
the Senate District Committee follow
ing call on c. NJ. Bookman. assistant
Federal emergency relief administrator
Senator King said the proposal to
change the present set-up of the Dis
trict unemployment relief administra-
ton does not meet with his approval
and announced he would take up the
matter further with the District Com
missionerS.
The chairman particularly expressed
dissatisfaction over the prospect that
the administration cost, by raising the
number of officers from one to five,
would be raised, he said, under the new
set-up which is expected to be in opera
ton by the end of the week.
Centralized Authority.
The new set-up. which In effect was
ordered by Alan Johnstone, field repre-
sentative for this area of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration, pro-
vided for the GENERALIZATION of authority
in all District relief activities in the
Board of Public Welfare and the estab-
lishment of five different relief stations
in a move to speed up administration
of relief.
Senator King was emphatic in his
praise Of the work that has been done
up to now by the organization headed
by Leroy A. Halbert, who has been
directing the District unemployment
relief
Later Bookman said he and Senator
King had discussed the relief situation,
particularly with reference to the Dis
trict, but at present saw no possibility
of any abandonment of projected plans
with regard to the District and pre-
dicted that the functions which have
been ordered placed under direction OF
his Office will be taken over about Sep
tember l.
Decline TO Continue.
Bookman foreSaw continued gradual
decline in the number of persons on
relief rolls throughout the country ex-
tending to the late Fall. He said he
expects probably in December f1atten-
ing out of the decline and a gradual in
crease through the Winter months.
While hesitating to make definite pre-
dictions, but predicating his general OBJ
servation on the getting under way OF
the Governments vast public works
program, he said he did not believe that
the rate of incline in the number Of
families on relief rolls would anywhere
near approximate the rate of decline
that has been and is still being re-
corded.
He said the distribution of specially
preserved pork which will be distributed
from the huge hog-killing program OF
the Agricultural Adjustment Admins
tration would begin about october l
This pork, he said, will be given as
direct relief grants on the basis of the
requirement as estimated by the local
relief organizations and will supplement
the Federal relief funds now being dis
tributed throughout the States. There
will be, he said, 100000, 900 to 100000
900 pounds of pork to be distributed
The meat, he said, will be preserved
with a dry salt process, which will en-
able relief agencies to keep it at least
six months without refrigeration.

tinual speculation as to the identity
of the man who laid the Southern
Senator low.
For time there was general belief

queStioners that this was a mistake.
