SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 17.-Mrs.
Cecilia Dempsey, mother Of Jack
Dempsey, said yesterday he was "wor-
ried abot the safety of his children
and planned to bring his family to
Salt Lake City to live within two years
Mrs. Dempsey told reporters the
former heavyweight boxing champion

New York, has been alarmed by kid
napings and Jack was always a
mama's boy and wants to come home to
me anyway"
My boy intends to stay in business
in New York, even after he comes to
Utah, but he will start in something
new here" she said.
Brown, spokesman for Jack Dempsey,
said last night that any trip the former
heavyweight boxing champion might
make to Salt Lake City in the near
future would be to visit his mother
and not because he was afraid his
children might be kidnapped.
Dempsey and the former Hannah
Williams. broadway stage star, have
two small daughters.
He recently made trip to Seattle

Guilty Of finding sufficient markets
abroad to dispose of a large surplus
without coming into direct competition
with other producing countries, the
question presents international trade
perplexities with which both the De-
partment of Agriculture and the De-
partment of State are concerned. The
chief difficulty in the way, as viewed
by interested officials here. is in trying
to find the desired markets abroad
without running counter to the recip-
rocal trade agreement program to
which the administration is strongly
committed and which it has been
pushing vigorously.
Recognizing the great need to the
economic welfare of the country of a
financially and otherwise improved
transportation system, officials both in
the Government and outside are hop
ing for helpful developments in this
sphere from the transportation con-
ference, sponsored by the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States. to be

similar past conferences which have
proved valuable, George H. Davis. pres

coming session will aid Congress in its
consideration of the transportation
legislative program which is contem-
