When the drought was threatening

purchased IL of the steers and turned
them loose in a fine pasture on his
farm.
After what they had gone through

thought nothing could drive them from
his lush pasture land. But he found
out he was mistaken.
These animals had been used to the
wide-open spaces They did not like

CHICAGO, July 25. - Republican

day that the party will present Will

radio program intended to avoid the
usual one-sided political discussion. -
mo strings have been placed upon

indeed no instructions have been
given him"
It was the first phase OF the Re-
publican radio campaign to be dis
closed. The party has purchased Is

said. on N. B. C's blue network. The
program will go on the air Monday,
from 8:15 to $50 pm. (E. S. ID IN

Along with Hard's own comment II
was tentatively planned, the commit
tee statement said, to present guest
sneakers" in some of the periods.
Hard was one of the first political
commentators on the air. Before
making a radio reputation he was
Washington correspondent and maga-
zine writer. His first job OF COM
menting on public affairs was as an
editorial writer, between 1901 and
1905, on a Chicago newspaper.
Stressing that the radio time would
be turned over to Hard without res
ervation," the Republican headquar-
ters claimed credit for IAN innovation
in the use of the microphone for po-
litical purposes
The announcement explained:
Republican Chairman John Ham
ilton feels that if the people clearly
understand them (the issues there
will be no doubt as to the outcome
of the November election.
For that reason Mr.. Hard is to
be free to use his time as he sees fit.
He has gathered the information he
will use through his Independent in
vestigation.
I'm this way it is hoped that a
real contribution to public thought
may be given, and that the usual one
sided political discussion will be
avoided"

By the Associated Press.
A thorough revision of shipping
laws affecting seamen's working con-
ditions was recommended yesterday
to the Commerce, Labor and Justice
Departments by a "disinterested citi-
zenS committee" through Louis s.

ternational Juridical Association.
Weiss, one of the signers, handed the
report to j. M. Johnson, acting Secre-
tary of Commerce; Charles Gregory,
acting Secretary of Labor, and JUS
tice Department official.
Clarification of the mutiny law to
prevent its invocation in strikes, en-
actment of law to protect the right
of seamen to organize and strike"
and adoption of regulations to pre-
vent black-listing and discharge for
union activity also were recon-
mended.

PRESIDENT SAILS
IN ROUGH WATERS
To Anchor Cruiser Tonight
After Hard Voyage
to Westport.
Hy me Associated rress.

ABOARD SCHOONER LIBERTY,
Westport, Nova Scotia, July 25.-
President Roosevelt scanned the skies
with a weather eye today, hoping for
smooth waters on his projected 35-
mile cruise across the Bay of Fundy
to Grand Manan Island. where he
expected to anchor his vacation
cruiser, Sewanna, tonight.
The President, tired from a testing
30-mile sail over rough water from
Yarmouth to this harbor, slept sound
~ last night on LIE Brier Island, de-
spite the constant changing of the
fog warning bell on the U. S. S. Po-
tomac.
He planned to make Grand Manan
Island his cruising base over the week
end, prior TO his trek early next week
to Campobello Isle, New Brunswick,
where he has a Summer home. He
will end his vacation cruise there.
The trip to this port yesterday was
the most exciting yet in Mr.. Roose-
velt'S itinerary. He disregarded storm
warnings upon leaving Yarmouth and,
clad in an oilskin, sat at the wheel
himself to pilot the Savanna over
rough. white-capped seas through
treacherous Grand Passage.
The destroyer Hopkins remained
outside last night, while the Potomac
followed heavily in the Savanna S
wake.

A. T. |. PREDICTS
FALL TRADE GAINS
Federal Reserve Board Also
Notes Seasonal Slump
Failed to Arrive.

A note of business optimism was
struck today by the American Fedora
ton of Labor with the report in its
monthly business survey that signs of
business expansion this Fall were
stronger than had been expected"
simultaneously, the Federal Re
serve Board noted the volume Of pro-
duction, employment and trade held
up to its May level throughout June,
contrary to the usual seasonal decline.
The federation survey said buyers
for retail stores are flocking to New
York and Chicago in larger numbers
than in any of the last six years. A
better Fall retail season than any
since 1929 is expected and orders to
manufacturers should create many
Jobs and raise workers buying power.
Auto Sales Still High.
Because sales Of autos have held
their high level longer than antici-
,pated this year." said the survey,
automobile manufacturers probably
will start their Fall production of next
years models in September instead
of November, putting men to work
two months earlier.
Electric power plants are already
ordering equipment for central power
stations, orders for railroad equip
ment are continuing at higher level
than expected, building contract
awards showed an unusual increase
in June.
This means busy Fall season for
steel and other heavy industries, and
observers are now forecasting a sharp
upturn of business In the Fall when
auto factories start production on
new models.
1T is generally believed that the
force OF recovery has now gained
enough strength to prevent any seri-
,ous setback from political uncertain.
ties next Fall: but one other cloud
on the horizon-the drought-may be-
come serious.
Crops already have been damaged
In the drought section (Dakotas, Mon
tana, Wyoming) and unless We have
rainfall within the next two weeks
farmers buying power will also be
much reduced IN the corn belt"
The survey repeated several former
assertions that employment is not
keeping pace with recovery" and that
IF recovery is to put the unemployed
to work, present hour schedules must
not be lengthened.'
Wages, the survey added, must keer
pace with living costs, which rose :
per cent from April to June
Wholesale Prices Up,
The Reserve Boards observations
made in its monthly summary of gen.
eral business and financial conditions
noted that wholesale prices of COM
modities advanced in June, refecting
in part the effects of the drought.
The boards seasonally adjusted in
dex Of industrial production increased
from 101 per cent of the 1923-25 aver
age in May to 103 per cent in June.
Factory employment and pay rolls
showed a slight increase between the
middle OF May and the middle of June
q trend which the board said was
contrary to seasonal tendency. Steel
mills and plants producing machinery
employed more workers, and at auto
mobile factories there was less than
the seasonal decline At textile mills,
the board said, employment was un-
changed.

The human suffering and crop de-
struction in the drought area Of South
Dakota, from Aberdeen to Sioux
Falls, is vividly described in letter
received from Robert H. Alcorn, presi-
dent of the Joint Conference on Re

He writes:

New parleys for immediate and

lures yesterday.
Latest developments in the drought
situation:

relief from the heat wave in Kansas,

The plan of Cooke, rural electrifi-
cation administrator, involves en-
gineering projects at the sources Of

much of the rainfall as possible and
to prevent 1t from racing Of to the
