yesterday that help reached them Rangers Made Rescue Rangers Jerry Murnin, Ronald Chisholm and Cary Jackson ant eco Foreman Bon Russell climbed to the top of Half Dome, made their way carefully down a draw and after IA hours work reached g point 1000 feet above the ledges where the couple were trapped.
 Then they lowered themselves slowly on double ropes, using pitons and other climbing equipment to feel their way dow nthe cliffs. Al 500 a. m., they reached the side of the girl, 200 feet above Tate Two rangers assisted her in a four hour descent to the valley where her parents, MT. and Mrs. w. A Lorimer, and large crowd of va cationists awaited her.
 Getting Tate down was a more serious and difficult task. He was only partly-unconscious. for during the night he had disobeyed rang ers' instructions to remain in the place where he was and in trying to reach the side of the girl slipped and fell. It was almost night, 24 f hours after the couple were caught on the mountain, that Tate was brought down and taken in an am. bulance to the hospital. Miss Lor- inner, refusing to rest until her companion on the mountain-climb b. ing trip was safe, watched his res cue.
 Relatives Encouraged
 Her parents and Tate's wife had remained near large bonfire dur ing the night, shouting encourage ment to the couple and squirting eco workers to keep the fire burn ing brightly.
 Although the temperature drop ped to within 20 degrees of freez- ing, Miss Lorimer, who wore only hiking shorts and a sweater. said she suffered more from trying to keep awake than from the cold.
 "All I want is sleep" Miss Lor- inner said when she reached the floor of Yosemite Valley.
 "I had all I could do to keer awake during the night. and now want soft bed and long rest, ' she said.
 Were At Standstill
 "We tried to take short cut around the base of the Dome and down the trail-less slope of rock and shale. We had but 500 feet o1 the most dangerous part to SC when we found ourselves unable tc go any further. We couldn't SC back and we couldn't go down.
 "We decided to remain where we were. He was about 200 feet below me on the same kind of rock shelf
 II built fire and decided to call for help. It was awfully cold as wore shorts.
 "The near freezing weather was an aid. however, as 1t kept me from going to sleep.
 My mothers voice sounded won- derful to me when she called from the floor of the valley.
 Tt was a great sight to see those rangers climbing down the face of the peak and a great one to see them just above me.
 Did Wonderful Work
 'They did wonderful work in getting me down. The bonfire they kept burning on the shores of Mir TOT lake kept up our spirits won- dcrfully we'll, too."
 Miss Lorimer went to bed after Tate's rescue and slept deeply. She suffered only a few cuts and bruis- es. which iodine and few small taped bandages covered.
 She is secretary for the Chico pee Chamber of Commerce and left the east about si xweeks ago with her parents and another girl for a vacation trip to California.

SEEKING CAUSE OF CRUISER FIRE

Quincy, Mass, Aug. S-(UP)-- Fore River shipyard executives to- day sought the cause of the mys- terious fire which damaged the New $10,000,000 navy cruiser U. s. s. Quincy yesterday. Published re- ports that Harry E. D. Gould, general manager of the Quincy plant of the Bethlehem shipbuild- ing corporation, had sai dthat he had been unable to find any way in which fire could have started accidentally" were denied by Frank Leahy, Gould's secretary.
 "Mr. Gould never made any such statement" Leahy said. "An fn- vestigation will be made and pos sibly an official statement will be issued later" Leahy ridiculed re- ports that department of Justice agents would investigate a possible spy plot in connection with the fire. The ship does not become the property of the government until 1t is commissioned. he said. Accu- rate estimates of damage will not be possible until a complete inves- tigation has been made, he added, but he believed si00,00o fair figure.

 establishing communist regimes.
 Ostensibly. there has been a basic change in policy of this communist internationale, formed to promote world revolution. Orders have been dispatched to communist parties all over the world to cooperate with liberals against fasciSm-in order words to go on the defen- sive.
 Many speakers have suggested this as a necessity in view of the spread of fascist ideas, which they fear may establish dictatorial gov ernments in country after country.
 But several of the orators, in- cluding Earl Browder, secretary general of the American commu- mist party, have admitted frankly that the policy of momentary CO., operation with liberals was moti- vated by the idea of future control of left wing elements generally in forwarding the dream of proletar- ian Relationships.
 Policy Inconsistent American diplomats here, partic- ularly regard as especially incon- sistent the expressed policy of SUD- porting democracy in America and at tho same time encouraging in the speech of one American dele gate-Samuel D'Arcy-of trouble among seamen.
 Tn his speech a week ago Darcy predicted a strike on a vast scale among American longshoremen when their agreement with ship owners expires in September. He added that the internationale would try to obtain world wide COG operation among seamen and long shoremen in the struggle against the bourgeoisie."
 There have been subsequent ref erences to Tom Mooney as a vic- tim of capitalist repression, by George Dimitrov, Bulgarian com munist leader who was acquitted in Germany of complicity in the reichstag fire; admissions by men like Wilhelm Pick, German com munist leader, that formation of 'world wide socialist government" is the primary aim of the interna- tionale in attempting to establish united communist st-socialist-lib eral front; the assertion, also by Pick that the present duty of the communist party in the United States and elsewhere is to infiltrate among the masses and gain infiu- ence as soon as possible, and the statement by William z. Foster. leader of the American party, that it is necessary to increase activity among unemployed in order to take advantage of the present "crisis" of capitalism to promote the growth of communism.
 Against eco Camps
 A separate conference is being held here to formulate means of opposition to labor camps-such as the eco camps-as promoters of militarism among unemployed youth.
 Tn its agreement with the United States, signed at Washington November 16. 1888. the Russian government undertook mot to per- init the formation or residence on its territory of any organization or group which has an aim ]. of blnging about by force of change In the political or soc cial order of . the United States.

experts, testifying for the respon- dent were equally positive that the claimants employment. was in no way responsible for his disability. Were the case to rest here, would be compelled to find that the claimant failed to sustain the bur den of proof. There are other features of the matter, however, which come to the aid of claimant and have sufficient probative value to justify an award in favor of the claimant.
 The finding states that the three doctors who testified for the claim ant substantiated their testimony by offering doctrines included in text books, the authors of which are recognized as standard author ities. The award adds that the three doctors who testified against the claimant quoted no medical authorities in support of their the ories.
 Two Hearings Held
 Two hearings were held on the claim, one on July 12 and the other on July 18th. Attorney Mar tin J. Parker appeared for Bouch- CT and Attorney J. Warren Upson represented the express company.
 The finding states that Boucher was injured Feb. 4, 1885 when he went out with the company truck to deliver some articles and to collect others. While lifting a heavy box of castings at a supply house on East Aurora street, he felt sharp pain, and after rest ing awhile, went onto Watertown Where he made several other calls. It was at the plant of the Seymour smith Go. that he collapsed and had to receive medical attention. He was operated on at St. Mary's hospital for a ruptured duodenal ulcer, so diagnosed by Dr. Thomas Parker. Dr. M. J. Lawlor, assisted by pr. Parker performed the op- eration.
 Commissioner Lynch states, From the testimony before me find that the claimant suffered a ruptured duodenai ulcer, due to the strain in lifting the freight hereinbefore referred to, and arose out of and in the course of his employment"
 Compensation at the rate of $14.22 weekly for 520 weeks amounts to $7,S94. Hospital. doc- tors, nurses and other medical ex- penses amount to $91O.6O which are directed to be paid by the re- spondent.

F. R. Hurls a Brick

But it Is still worth remembering that revenue was only incidental in Rosevelt's mind when he called for ''soak-the-rich" tax legislation from g Startled congress.
 He was primarily interested in blishing social principle and hnrling defiant brick at the ''big fellows" who had been attacking him savagely.
 By failing to meet progressive delnands-and the desire of many in his administration-for a com prehensive program biting deeper, Roosevelt avoided widespread ac- crnations that he was burdening blsiness-as we'll as the bad effects of whatever there may be in that contention.

Slap at Power Trust

The proposal to eliminate tax ex- endption for corporation gifts to clarity was just another Roosevelt swipe at the power trust" his pet hate. The house bill, however, al. lowed per cent taxable income exemption. e.
 Even more unpleasant to the White House was the pairing Of the proposed graduated corporation tax from a spread of 6 per cent to a difference of 1 per cent.
 The graduation from 1874 per cent to 14A per cent established the principle of taxing "bigness"- the Barndeis Frankfurter idea about as effectively as a nudist pro- claims his principles by going barefoot. Expect fight on that in the senate, with resultsu ncertain.

 Correspondentl

Washington, Aug. S-The tax bill is about as popular as can of sour milk at picnic. Your corrc- spondent cannot find anyone who is even mildly enthusiastic over any tax program which is likely to emerge out of this congress.
 Nevertheless President Roosevelt, despite all the horrible mismanage- n1ent of the program, remains rela- lively serene, and the chief secret of his serenity is this:
 Roosevelt has high hopes of go- ing into the election next year with a balanced budget.
 As soon as the derisive laughter has subsided, your correspondent will proceed to admit that such hopes are not shared by everybody in@ the administration. But the president has very distinct idea that business is going to pick up very rapidly, that the national in- come will go booming, that unem- ployment and it's costs will be ma terially reduced, and that the yield from current tax rates plus those of the new schedule-which would bring in less than $500, 900. 900 addi- tional revenue, under last years conditions-will produce treasury status to which he can point with pride.
 : sThe idea is that as corporation and individual incomes begin to rise, geometrically enlarging pro- p0rtion of the increase will be scooped off in taxes.

Anti.Nazis in Boston

nists were blamed today for an attempt to disrupt an anti-Nazi meeting of delegates of 206 organ izations representing 100000 Jews in this section. About IA alleged communists were elected by police from Hotel Statler, where the meeting was held last night. Speak, CTS included President Samuel A. Kalensky of the New England branch of the American Jewish Congress, and Ludwig Lewisohn, noted writer and lecturer. A reso- lution program to combat the al- legged minority persecution by the Hitler regime was adopted unani- mously.
 The program called for:
 1-Intercession by the American government on behalf of perse- cuted German Jews.
 2-An American boycott of Ger man products.
 3-American withdrawal from the 1936 Olympic games at Berlins
 4-Refusai by American colleges and universities to exchange pro- fessors with German institutions. !
 5-Action by the League of Na- tions, in the form of condemnation of Hitler policies and requests that member nations abstain from trade agreements with Germany.
 6-Cooperation of Jews. Catho- lies, Protestants and labor in de- fense of German minorities.
 
 Girl Can Take Part
 Berlin, Aug. S-(UP)-Olympic officials insisted today that Greta Bergman, girl high jump cham pion of Wuerttemberg, would be permitted to participate in Olympic game trials-though she was barred from the German field championships last week.
 Her banning caused reports that Olympic officials sought to evade their promise that Jews would not meet discrimination. She was barred from the field trials because as a Jewess she is ineligible for membership in the official athletic association.
 But these championships. off, cials said in denying any discrim- ination, were not Olympic trials.
