up when Oden and johnson said
they could go no higher. The three

His companions watched with terror

After reaching the top of the cliff
Stavon made his way on up toward
the bridge, quarter of mile away,
and summoned help. The rescue
squad appeared and two firemen,

went to the base of the cliff to start
the rescue operations.

Plunge Into Market
DeoIs About 10000
Shares, One Of Biggest
Days Of the Year
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 17.-Buyers
plunged into the market today faster
than the ticker tape could operate
and stock prices jumped 81 to 81 a
share before the final gong rang.
With the tape running several
minutes behind transactions near
the close, operations approximated
100000 shares-one of the largest
trading sessions of the year.
Leaders at the close were Chrys-
Ter. up $3.50 a share at $82; Bethle-
hem Steel, $3.50, up $3.50-a new
high for the year; United States
Rubber. $4687. up $4.25; Montgom-

United States Gypsum, 500, up $3.50.
Traders attributed the bullish ac-
tivities to variety of factors, chief
of which was the belief in Wall
Street that the Nations business
was running ahead of the level at
which securities have been selling
in recent weeks.
Aiding optimism was the lack of
warlike news from Europe. a Jump

the highest this year, and. the fact
that railroad traffic last week in
creased ahead of the week before

Summon Help for Companions

Two boys were rescued from
precarious perch on the face of
cliff on the Virginia shore of the
Potomac, near Chain Bridge this
afternoon after they had spent an
hour staring death in. the face.
The two, with a companion, had
been attempting to scale the steep
face of cliff about l25 feet high
on the Virginia side of the Potomac
River. They reached a spot about
rs feet above earth and found they
could not continue and could not
go back
The third boy was able to climb
to the top and summoned the Clar-
endon Rescue Squad. Those rescued
were Henry Oden, l6, of 81 New
York avenue NV. and Clyde Jonn-
son, IA, of 606 Massachusetts ave-
nue. NV. The boy who succeeded
in scaling the cliff and summonlng
help was Nick Stavon, 16, of 8O3
Third street NV.
The three youths had been bicycl-
ing up the river and left their wheels
near Chain Bridge, proceeding along
the waters edge on foot Suddenly,
they were struck with the idea of
scaling the steep cliff.

Representative Schultz, Democrat,
OF Indiana retaliated today for the
fllibustering tactics that prevented
action by the House District Com
mittee last week on his revised milk
bill by forcing the committee to ad-
journ as soon as it met, thus delay
ing consideration of nine important
measures, including his own.
The committee room was crowded
with spectators and District officials
when Representative Kennedy,
Democrat. of Maryland, acting
chairman in the absence of Repre-
sentative Randolph, called the COM
mittee to order.
Immediately, Mr.. Schultz raised
point of no quorum. There were
only eight members present at the
time, three short of a quorum. Mr.
Kennedy then adjourned the meet
ing
Representative Seccombe, Re-
publican, of Ohio Indignantly asked
Mr.. Schultz the purpose of his
move, pointing out the committee
had often transacted business with

Railroads and truck companies in

Commissioner Richard J. Beamish
described the agreement as the

He said Joseph B. Eastman, chair
