HARTSDALE, N. Y, July 1S
Q.N.SO.-The amazing resistance
of a tiny human being to the
merciless forces of the elements
was shown today in a study OF
the weather charts for the five
days and nights 21-months-old
Bobby Conner struggled alone in
the woodlands near his home
here.
Last Thursday, the day he dis
appeared, dawned bright and
clear. The weather was fair and
moderately warm, but the next
day the humidity vaulted 80 de-
grees to "a, and in the sitting
mugginess which enervated older
folks the little baby played out
his incredible adventure in the
woods.
Humidity High
Saturday came, with a steady
moderate temperature, but again
a high humidity. On Sunday
the temperature mounted, and a
broiling sun beat down on his
little form, fast becoming pinched
and emaciated through lack OF
food and water.
Throughout that Sabbath the
mercury rose. reaching 80 de
grees in the afternoon while the
humidity mounted to 100, and
then a storm broke.
Out of a black low.hanging sky
a violent electrical disturbance
hurtled.
Piercing streaks of lightning
lit the heavens. The rain came
down in bucketsfull while the
thunder roared. GullieS became
splashing pools and footpaths
through the woods Slithery
streams. The temperature dropped
Is degrees.
Water Through Pores
And through this torrent. his
tiny body protected only by q
thin pair Of summer rompers,
Bobby's childish vitality preserved
him.
The rainfall which sent old
folks scurrying for slickers or the
protection Of their home hearths
actually gave him new life-for
he absorbed enough through the
pores Of his skin to compensate
for his lack Of liquid nourishment.
The skies cleared Sunday night
and from that time on smiled
upon the human mite struggling
against odds that might have
ended others older and bigger
than he. There were no more
rain and no more extremes Of
temperature or humidity - but
they found him just in time.

RESTORED PAY.
DELAYED FOR
AACLERKS
Added 5 Per Cent Due on 18th,
Not Available to Farm Aid
Group Before Friday

Although Government officials
claimed last Monday that all Fed
eral employees here had received
checks bearing the additional five
per cent restoration effective July
/, it was learned today that one
group of about $500 workers has
not as yet been paid.
The employees in question COM
prise the mammoth rental and
benefit-audit section" of the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Administra-
ton. Working in the old post
office building. they are engaged
in checking and auditing contracts
with farmers in various Admins
tration crop reduction campaigns.
Five Days Late
This large portion of the Fed
eral personnel here will not re-
ceive checks due on the 18th Of
this month until this coming Fri
day, five days late.
Similar delays in distributing
the payroll have been foisted upon
low-salaried workers in the AAA
ever since its inception last sum-
mer.
| Higher-ups and employees Of a
few small sections, like the press
relations department and the con-
Sumer's counsel office, get their
pay at the same time as other
Government personnel here.
Delays Continue
When the task of making out
the salary checks was transferred
from the AAA to the Treasury De-
partment some weeks ago, AAA
workers hoped that the delays
would be ended. They persisted,
however, and have been explained
by officials on the grounds that
the large number of employees in
the rental and benefit-audit Sec
ton makes it difficult to audit the
payroll.
The employees maintain that this
excuse is SILLY" since there are
other Federal agencies here with
much larger pay rolls.

shipping industry as taking q
position extreme and unreaSon-
able" and added that this position
must be tempered if we are to
have peace"
The general strike committee
here voted 207 to $50. after seven
hours of wrangling, for arbitra-
ton Of. the 70-day-old longshore-
mems strike and affiliated marine
difficulties, out of which grew the
general strike.
No action was taken on the
matter of the return to work of
the 10000 and workers on sym
pathetic general strike. but 1t
was believed announcement of &C
ceptance by shipownerS Of the
recommended arbitration would
insure such action on the part
Of the unions.
Edward Vandeleur, chairman
Of the general strike committee
said:
Labor has done its part.
The matter rests entirely with
the attitude of the ShOpOwners
now"
Appeal to Officials
The resolution which called
upon the governors Of Pacific
Coast States and mayors of
affected Pacific Coast ports to
appeal to President Roosevelt to
act to bring about the recon.
mended arbitration between the
ShipownerS and the longshoremen
and marine workers was adopted
by vote Of 207 to 100.
It was angrily denounced by
Harry Bridges, leader of the
striking longshoremen, who said:
This resolution was rail-
r0aded through. The meeting
was packed by conservatives.
It was adopted by . standing
vote and not by secret allOt.
The lOngsh0remen will not
arbitrate the question of con-
troll Of the hiring halls"
The vote was hailed as a victory
by conservative labor leaders. If
the longshoremen repudiate the
resolution, observers pointed out,
they will have renowned their
right to the sympathy" Of other
unions. The vast majority Of the
unions on strike walked out in

unions.
The vote came after a three
hour session Of the huge com
mittee behind locked doors
Thousands of strikers milled out
side the doors Of the labor temple
awaiting word from their leaders
The vote was announced amid
scenes of wild disorder, but the
crowd became more orderly ano
began to melt away in groups as
it became definitely known what
the committee had done.
Vandeleur's Statement
Mr.. vandeleur, chairman Of
the committee, was near collapse
as he emerged from the fierce de
bate that marked the session. He
went Immediately to his private
office and issued this statement;
\ Having acted deciSively in
the face of the strike conditions
which prevail in San Francisco
today, the general strike COM
mittee now awaits the decision
of the shipOwners. II the ship
owners show the same cooper
alive spirit which has been
shown by the labor unions, bust
ness activities Of San Francisco
should resume their normal
status promptly"
In the meantime the "Siege Of
San Francisco" was being lifted
with food coming in to the $500,
600 citizens in the area and with
many Of the functions of the
communities around the bay ap-
preaching normal again.
Police and the more than 5000
National Guard troops on the
Oakland and San Francisco water
front, however, were concentrat-
ing to put a stop to the wave Of
riots, lootings and vandalism
which swept over the general
strike battle-ground yesterday.
Stores Are Looted
The riots started with raids on
grocery stores and with beatings
administered to men suspected Of
being strikebreakerS, but ended
with the raiding and wrecking Of
six alleged Communists head

DRYS CONFUSED
IN TAKOMA
VICTORY
Law Permits Sales of Beer
and Wine; May Reopen
Whole Campaign
BY EARL GOODWIN

Takoma Park may not 60 dry,
after all.
The Alcoholic Beverage Board
viewing the orders Of the District
Commissioners to permit the sale
of beer only in Takoma today
finds that there is nothing in the
Districts liquor law that will per-
nit the sale Of beer only. II
Takoma. has beer, then legally 1t
may have wine.
In the excitement Of the hear.
ing before the Commissioners
yesterday, at which several hun
dred Takoma drys begged for the
prohibition of liquor sales in their
section, everyone appears to have
lost sight of the fact that there
is no such thing any more as a
beer license.
Liquor Law Precise
Under the present liquor laws
there are precise descriptions by
Congress setting forth what can
be done under the various types
Of liquor license in this District
and there are no exceptions. The
old 80 per cent beer laws and
licenses were Scrapped when the
present precise law was enacted.
The Commissioners, who heard
the dryS yesterday. refused to
make Takoma a dry zone, al
though they have that right I'M
der the act of Congress outlining
the National Capitals liquor
policy.
They were impressed, however,
with the fact that the Takoms
Park section is dry by at least
a 3 to 2 count and they declared
themselves ready to meet that
sentiment by adopting a beer
policy, but that they were not
ready to enact prohibition so
soon after the recent experiment
under the Eighteenth Amend
ment.
Somewhat Confused
However, the drys appeared to
be more or less jubilant over the
attitude of the Commissioners,
but they are. somewhat confused
today when informed Of the legal
predicament.
