BRETON WOODS, N. H., August
31.-Four young girls, missing in the
lofty wilderness of Mount Deception
since yesterday afternoon, were found
today and returned to their hotel ap-
parently none the worse for their ex-
perience.
The girls, who spent the night on
the side of the mountain after losing
their way while on a hiking trip, were
Cynthia and Martha Wrightson. IA,
and Minnie, 13, daughters of William
G. wrightson of Orange, N. j., vice
president Of the Great Atlantic & Pa
cific Tea Co, and Peggy Sanderson,
daughter of q. Breton Woods hotel
manager.
While approximately 800 searchers
spread over the mountainside, the four
girls were located by g. G. Darling,
Greenwood, s. c., college student en-
ployed on the Mount Washington
Railway.
Darling picked them up in his car
and drove them miles to the hotel,
where they went into seclusion with
their parents.
The girls were warmly clothed and
apparently the only discomfort they
experienced was hunger. They had
nothing to eat since yesterday noon.
It had rained during yferday. Tbut

allegations, said: "I have no power
to prevent Japanese military oficials
from making themselves ridiculous
either here or in any other part of

The article which the japanese con-

in the review July u and purported
to summarize facts leading up to the

FEW INDUSTRIES
ASK NEW CODES
Possibility of Further MIRA.
Legislation Given as
One Reason.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Only "a of the Nations hundreds
of industries were found today to have
a. .,lied formally for codes under the
Federal Trade Commission, which
succeeded N. r. A. as a code maker.
Some ll2 more have made inquiries,
but pos oility of new N. R. A. legis-
lation and the stringency of present
laws were said in reliable business
circles to have pi Jmpted most indus
tries to wait for developments.
There were some $50 codes under
NJ r. A. and an additional 200 sup
Elemental agreement.
No Campaign Planned.
Ewin L. Davis of .he Trade Com
mission announced some time ago
that the commission did nc. intend to
campaign for codes. While industry,
in some sect. ons, Immediately indi-
Gated a strong desire for commission
agreements, fuller understanding of
the ommissions limited powers has
l aked the process.
Commission agreements are limited
to trade actices, and commission
policy has closely adhered to granting
only those things which have strong
legal sanction und-r present law.
Abolition of N. r. A. Immediately re-
stored the curbS Of the antitrust
laws.
Aside from the uncertainty over new
legislation, two other factors have
made the new codes less attractive
First, some have noted confusion over
labor provisions, which may be at
tached, purely as a voluntary matter
to the codes. officials have not re-
ceived specific orders from President
Roosevelt as to who is to be responsible
for approving such provisions, and Or
ganized labor has appeared Indifferent.
Many Maintain Standards.
In the second place, business men
contend improving economic condi-
tions have led many industries to
maintain the hour. wage and price
standards set under N. r. A.
Further, some industries believe they
now are capable of maintaining fair
competition" without codes, this being
particularly true in the very large and
closely-knit sections.
Other industries are waiting for the
first commission agreement to be an
nounced in order to see exactly what
the policy will be, particularly as to
price controls. Retail and service
trades, and other industries Of large
ly intra-State character are virtually
excluded from agreements since the
commissions authority is limited to
interstate commerce.

DECISION CULMINATES
JOB TRANSFER FIGHT
Compilation to Be Undertaken
by w. P. An. r. A. Group
to Top Eligibles.

President Roosevelt today took Off
cial notice of the plight of former en-
ployes of some of the curtailed Fed
eral emergency agencies and directed
the compilation of lists of those per-
sons who have been unable to find new
positions.
The action was taken, 1t was ex-
planned, with the intention of making
these lists available to all existing
Federal agencies and thus giving these
former servants of the administration
a preferred status in the quest for
new employment.
The Presidents move climaxed q
three month fight on the part of the
Interdepartmental Committee on Per-
sonnel Transfer, made up of mem
bers Of the American Federation of
Government Employees, for the estab-
lishment of a job-transfer agency.
Members of the committee two
days ago unsuccessfully sought an
interview with Mr.. Roosevelt, but left
for his attention a memorandum on
the plight of thousands of workers
Of such organizations as the N. r. A.
w. p. A. to Supervise List.
Compilation of the lists is to be
undertaken by the Works Progress
Administration and will include first
the former employees of the curtailed
National Recovery Administration
On comparable curtailment by other
agencies, however. they will be re-
quested to submit similar data for
compilation.
The White House order then states
specifically that such lists must be
consulted by Federal agencies plan
ming addition to non-civil service per-
sonnel before appointments may be
made from any other source.
The statement from the White
House follows in full:
The matter of placing in other
Federal employment emergency en-
ployes VINO have been released or who
may hereafter be released from the
National Recovery Administration and
from other emergency agencies. but
who have failed to secure positions in
other agencies has received the con-
sideration Of the President.
To Include Salaries.
"He has directed the administrator
of the Works Progress Administration
to undertake an emergency employe
placement program and has requested
the National Recovery Administration
to forward to the Works Progress Ad-
ministrator lists of ali employees of
that administration to whom notices
of termination of service have been
sent. but who have not found other
employment. These lists will include
in each case the name, title, last posi-
ton held. last salary received and a
brief statement of the qualifications
and experience of the employe.
whenever other emergency agencies
contemplate reductions, they will be
requested to compile and forward
similar lists.
1.-The works progress administrator
will cause these lists to be maintained
and classified by occupations and will
make them available to all Federal
agencies having non-civil service EN-
ployes paid from emergency funds.
Such agencies will be instructed to
consult these lists, with recruiting per-
sonnel or filling vacancies, before max?
ing any appointments from other
sources"

HULL DECLINES
COMMENT ON DEAL
State Department Awaits
More Details on Ethio-
pia's Move.
BY CONTANTINE BROWN.

The State Department has adopted
non-committal attitude regarding
the important concessions granted to
commercial interests, including Stand
ard Oil, by Emperor Halle Selassie of
Ethiopia.
Secretary Hull was reluctant to dis
cuss the matter and its possible inter-
national implications pending arrival
in the department of more ample in
formation.
So far only short dispatch from
the charge d'affaires at Adds Ababa,
Cornelius H. Van Engert, has been re-
ceived, saying merely that such a
transaction has been consummated.
In diplomatic and political quarters
this development overshadows COM
pletely any other international politi-
cal situation. even the reply of the
State Department to the last Soviet
note.
U. S. Government Surprised.
The Secretary of State declared that
the Government has been taken COM
pletely by surprise and had no ad-
vance information that the deal was
under consideration. The surprise is
explained by the fact that, during
the present administration the State
Department has been most careful to
avoid any consultation with conces-
sion hunters, and has refrained from
giving them advice.
The guarded manner of expression
adopted by officials-more guarded
than usual-indicates the admins
tration is fully aware of the possible
political complications.
1t is known that for the last eight
months the representatives of the
Ethiopian government in Great Brit
ain and its agents in this country
have been endeavoring to induce
American and British concerns to be-
come interested In concessions, rang
ing from the pledging of the customs
in case of small advance of money
to the turning over of all Ethiopia's
raw materials for an important sum.
Heretofore Risk Held Too Great.
These efforts have been in vain be-
cause British and American financiers
considered the risk too great. They
knew that whatever diplomats and
the League of Nations may think,
MuSsolini will fight the Ethiopians
and did not want to get entangled in
a country which was by way Of being
conquered by another power.
In the light of this situation, 1t Is
believed among observers of interna-
tional politics that the change of at
titude of the British oil company
presumably that headed by Sir Henry
Deterding-is { lie to influence of the
British government, which owns a
large share of the stock of that COM
pany.
1t Is evident in the eyes of those OBJ
servers that these concessions have a
more political than economic char
acter.
