SO Bodies Recovered in Hurricane
Area; Search for Vets Pushed

MIAMI, Fla, Sept. 4 GNS0.
With 50 bodies already recovered,
relief agencies pushed their search
today for some 500 war veterans
whose whereabouts have not been
reported since the disastrous hur'
ricane swept the Florida keys
yesterday.
Grave fears were expressed for
their safety after the train that
was supposed to have transported
them from the path of the storm
was found wrecked and a Coast
Guard plane flying over the camp
on Matecumbe Key reported it
was completely demolished.
The veterans had been stationed
at Rehabilitation Camp No. 5,
about half way between Miami
and Key West.
Survivors Cut Off
Survivors on Long Key were
slowly working their way toward
the mainland, but they are com.
pletely isolated and will have to
be removed by boats.
More than 100 injured already
have been brought to mainland
hospitals, with about IS being
rushed to hospitals here and SO
being cared for at Homestead.
Although numerous persons pre-
dicted the death toll will mount
to several hundred, Red Cross of.

estimates as accurate and refused

Bodies of the dead were found in
all parts of the camp area.
After administering first aid to
the more seriously injured, the
rescuers prepared to transport
those needing help to Homestead.
Automobiles were lined UP on
the Homestead shore Of Snake
Creek and their headlights turned
onto the wind-tossed water. The
white-clad doctors and nurses on

i. 5. JOB SLASH
PLANNED BY
PRESIDENT
Peak Has Been Passed
In Emergency Work,
Says Executive

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. 4
UNSO.-President Roosevelt to-
day stated that the peak of the
Governments emergency work is
passed.
The President gave this opinion
as he made public the last of
three executive orders placing all
OF the 20 emergency agencies and
commissions under control of the
Budget Bureau.
From now on, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, there will be steady reduc.
ton in personnel in the emer.
gency Set-upS. All of these agen.
cles henceforth must clear admin.
istratiVe expenses through the
budget and cut down just as rap.
idly as the decline Of emergency
work warrants.
Seven Groups Affected
The seven agencies affected by
today's order were AAA, PWA,
FERA, NRA, IVA. Commodity
Credit Corporation and the Office
Of the Federal Coordinator of
Transportation. The other IA had
been grouped under two earlier
orders.
The executive foreSaw several
Of the emergency agencies gradu
ally evolving into management
corporations. AS such, their oper'
sting costs will be much lower.
He cited the Home owners
Loan Corporation, in particular,
The date for final loan applica.
tionS has passed and as soon as
the final loans have been made,
HOLC personnel will begin to
change from an appraising and
loan-making set-up to a manage
ment corporation which will see
that properties are kept in order
and interest and amortization
paid.
NRA also was cited as an
agency where heavy reduction in
personnel is imperative. It has
been cut already from 1900 en-
ployeS in May to $500, but Mr..
Roosevelt said more must go.
Check in Salaries
Before January, when the new
budget estimates must be sub
mitted to Congress, the President
said, check will have been made
on every emergency employe of
the government as to salary and
the necessity for the continuance
of his position.
Million Homes Saved
Asked whether these 20 agen-
cies had accomplished what they
were set up for, the President re.
piled that about a million homes
had been saved from foreclosure,
about a million farms had been
similarly saved, and 1000 banks
had been kept from going under.
The President said he expected
to have a definite estimate ready
in January Of the amount the
Federal establishment can be cut.
Mr.. Roosevelt discussed the
gradual decline in emergency
work in an informal press confer.
ence in his Hyde Park study.

"BENDS" SEIZE
NAVY DIVER
IN TANK
Victim of Attack At
Washington Yard
Resting Easily

Seized with an attack of the
dreaded bends" when emerging
from a diving tank late yesterday
at the Washington Navy Yard,
James E. Gallons, boatswain's
mate, first class, was resting com.
fortably today after spending four
and one.half hours in a recon-
preston tank.
Gallons, who is attached to the
experimental diving unit at the
Navy Yard, makes his home at
1411 T st. S. E.
Working in Tank
According to Lieut.. Charles
Shilling, Gallons had been expert.
menting with a new compression
scale. He was in the experimental
tank under water pressure equiva.
lent to q depth Of 1853 feet. The
pressure on Gallons at that time
was IS pounds per square inch,
DR.. Shilling said.
The diver apparently was suf.
fering no ill-effects while sub
merged and after spending some
time in the tank the pressure was
decreased in the usual gradual
manner.
When Gallons was removed
from his diving suit, however, re-
sidual pains developed throughout
his body and he was Immediately
placed in the huge steel recon-
preston tank and air pressure
equivalent to IS pounds per square
inch more than the IS pounds
maximum at which he had been
working was applied.
Taken to Sick Bay
The air pressure was decreased
over four and one-half period
and Gallons then was taken to
the emergency sick bay at the div.
ing school and placed under DR..
Shilling's care.
In describing the bends which
are feared by all divers, DR.. Shill-
ing explained that they are
caused by globules of nitrogen
forming in the body tissues and
blood stream of the victim as a
result of too speedy removal Of
the pressure of the water. Mus.
cular cramps, residual pains and
general exhaustion are its symp-
toms.

CONCESSION

Continued from Page ~
deal, Walden and Dundas said
they came to the Department Ito
seek the Departments advice on
the situation created by the
grant"
Secretary Hull explained:
"The officials were informed
that the granting Of this con-
cession had been the cause Of
great embarrassment not only
to this Government but to other
governments, who are making
strenuous and sincere efforts
for the preservation Of peace.
In the circumstances, the
company officials were informed
of the views of this Government
that it was highly desirable that
the necessary steps should be
taken at the earliest possible
moment to terminate the pres
ent concession.
"The Secretary Of State was
later informed by the officials
of the company that the com.
pany has decided to withdraw
from the concession and is
notifying the Emperor to that
effect"
CAN BE CANCELLED
According to a clause in the
contract between Emperor Halle
Selassie and the American oil
group, the agreement can be
broken on three months notice,
an official of the Standard Oil
group revealed. He said notice OF

PROBE OPENS

An inquest into the fatal shoot
ing Sunday of Raymond Conrad,
80, of the $500 block Thirteenth

A long line of witnesses took

until a more thorough check OF
the area can be made.
Many are stranded on the keys,
and food and medical attention for
the injured are urgently needed,
according to reports here. But
progress through the hurricane
battered keys was slow and ex'
tremely difficult.
One Hundred Dead in Village
Red Cross workers, National
Guardsmen, Coast Guard fliers
and volunteer relief workers from
Miami and other coastal cities
pointed first efforts toward the
region of Tavenier, where 100 were
killed and IS injured, and near
Metacumbe, where an even
greater toll may be uncovered.
They were hampered by blocked
and flooded roads, raging streams
from which bridges were washed
away and an almost paralyzed
East Coast railroad.
They carried food, medicines,
blankets, tents and water. Most
Of the stricken keys have no
permanent water supply and short
age of water was pronounced.
AS the relief forces penetrated
slowly into the storm-wracked
area, reports of heart-rending
devastation trickled back. At
Tavenier, a small fishing village,
the hurricane virtually levelled
everything above ground.
