FAIR EMPLOYES
 LOSE POSITIONS
500 Let GO Already; More to Follow as Attend.
 anCe Fails

New York, July 19-(UP)-Hun- dreds of New York Worlds Fair em- ployes awaited the economy ax to- day. At least 500 already had been fired because attendance had fallen far short of expectations.
 Some reports said as many as l. 800 of the 1000 employees would be dismissed. The management refused to give out figures, but 1t was known that firings had been heavy in the operating department. The entire information cadet corps of 291 men had been fired in 8 body.
 Thirty-five of the cadets, clean- cut college men in natty orange and blue uniforms who directed visitors about the grounds, were 50 angered when summoned to the dismissal formation last night that they for got the strict military discipline un- der which they had worked for three months, and marched straight to the session, not bothering to detour when they came to the large pool, two feet deep, on Constitution Mall. Visitors, unaware of the dismissals, laughed at the stunt" while they sloshed through the water, pulling out their shirt tails shouting and gesticulating.
 The average daily attendance of slightly more than 177,000 persons has been 100000 less than necessary to make the fair financial success on the basis of original plans. Less than l4,000,000 have seen the fair thus far: original estimates for the season ranged as high as 65, ,000 ,000.
 "The fair corporation is making a normal reduction in force, in line with its budget requirements" Pres- ident Grover Whalen said. "The ad- 1 justment is entirely in accordance with experience gained during the operating period. The personnel of the fair has reached a high degree of efficiency and the action taken today will in no way diminish this excellent service to the public"

|'MET' IS AGAIN FACING TROUBLE
Famous N. Y. Opera House May Be Sold; Owned By
 5 BOx-HOlders

New York, July 19. - (UP) - The Metropolitan Opera faced a crisis today as great as the one 1t met in the depths of the depression. It may be elected from It's opera house.
 The opera house, in which the great singers of the past 50 years have thrilled thousands, is owned by 35 box-holders those who make up the diamond horseshoe. Its purchase from them by civic group or the Metropolitan Opera Associa- ton is "the only apparent means of insuring the continuation" of the opera, 1t was disclosed.
 Cornelius N. Bliss, chairman of the association, announced plans for a public appeal for funds to purchase the building and establish 1t as a permanent musical center.
 The Juilliard Musical Foundation brought the Metropolitan through the depression with contributions of $50 ,000 in 1883, $40,000 in 1884 and $250,000 In 1885. Bliss expressed the hope that new group might be formed in the present crisis to pur- chase the building and cooperate in maintaining opera in New York City"
 Bliss and Robert s. Brewster, pres ident of the Metropolitan Opera and Real Estate Company through which the box-holders own the building and its warehouse, made public exchange of letters in which the association asked an option to purchase 1t, subject to an existing mortgage of $470,000, for $5,000,0 900 Brewster's letters explained thai certain of the boxholders had re- fused to pay their annual assess ments for maintenance of the build- ings and that there was an increas- ing possibility that the real estate company would be liquidated with the resultant sale of the opera house
 The coming 16-week season, which opens November 27, will not be af- fected since the associations lease on the opera house runs until May 31, 1940.

TROOPS ON ALERT
 AROUND AUG. Is
Germany Orders Troopers Vacations to End About
 August 10

Paris, July 19.-(UP)-French of- ficial circles .have received dis patches saying that Germany has ordered vacations of storm troopers to end about August 10, newspapers said today.
 The newspaper Excelsior quoted informed French sources, as say ing they believed a new period oi tension will start about August Is and will increase progressively to. wards the end of September, when the reich hopes the annual snow- falls will prevent possible French offensive through the Alps.
 Informed sources said, however that they believe while Germany is seeking to create the impression that 1t has accepted the idea of settling European problems by force of arms 1t really has no intention of resort ing to war except as a last resort.
 Dispatches reaching official cir cles created the impression that the Nazi forces will be on Q "state of alert" around August 15. The dis patches reported:
 1. That heavy troop movements are continuing without interruption from German barracks, with regi- mental numbers camouflaged against Identification.
 2. The number of reservists un- der arms would reach 100000 by the end of July.
 3. Harvesting is being rushed to release men from farm duty for military service.
 4. Fertilization work in the Rhineland valley is being rushed to completion.

COMPROMISE ON
 WAGE LAW SEEN
President Wins in Con- gressiOnal Fight as
 Leader Surrenders

Washington, July 19. -- CUP) -I The leader of a congressional drive to amend the wage-hour law sur rendered to President Roosevelt to- day and called for compromise.
 President Roosevelt had indicated that he would veto any amending bill he found unsatisfactory and Representative E. E. Cox, Democrat, Georgia, leader of the house bloc seeking drastic amendments, coun- seled his followers to confer with the President and seek amendments he would accept.
 Earlier Cox had threatened, as leader of a majority of the rules com mittee, to prevent any bill reaching the house floor until the Wage-hour amending bill of Representative Graham A. Barden, Democrat, North Carolina, was considered.
 At his press conference yesterday, Mir. Roosevelt said the Barden bill would deprive 100000 poorly paid workers of the protection of the law and cause congress to approve unconscionably low wages.
 If this statement means Cox said, that the Barden bill, If adopted by congress, would meet with veto then 1t would be foolish further to contend for adoption of the meas ure."
 He said he would advise Barden to stop the controversy for the time being" and seek compromise with the administration.
 Barden's bill is still in the house labor committee which reported other amendments introduced by Chairman Mary T. Norton, Democrat, New Jersey. The Norton amendments would grant some exemptions to agriculture workers and to certain classifications of white collar work CTS. But supporters of Barden's amendments contend they do not go far enough.
 Wage-hour administrator Elmer F. Andrews estimated that the Barden Bill would increase from 288000 to 1 ,l29 900 the persons completely ex- empted from the wages and hours regulations, and wrote Mrs. Norton that the proposed exemptions nave no economic or social justificatins."
 Hundreds of thousands of employ es long exploited would lose the gains that have been theirs since the day the fair labor standards act went into effect" Andrews wrote.
 Cox said the bill represents the halfway ground between those who want extensive amendments and those who want none at all"
 Organized farm groups failed in fight to have the Barden amend- ments, in substance, written into the Norton bill. Mrs. Norton and An- drews charged that they sought to provide with exemptions for strictly industrial operations performed up- on farm produce. but far removed from actual farming.

Young Republicans
 Hear Talbot, Ryan
State Administration Lauded for Friendly Gestures; New Deal Scored for Extravaganza, Ineffciency

under the friendly cooperative state administration. New industry can settle here and be assured of excel- lent shipping facilities. an abun- dance of skilled labor and lit- tie or no labor difficulties"
 MT. Ryan said in part "The people of this great country have been be- trayed by the New Deal. A "Deal'' which has spent billions of dollars of the American taxpayer with the result that absolutely nothing has been accomplished. Today there are just as many people out of work as there were before these billions of dollars were spent for Recovery" which never materialized. The New Deal has failed to help those who are needy, i'll fed, i'll clothed and i'll housed. The New Deal has never once shown tendency to be consist- ent. Promises have been forgot ten, programs have been failures.
 In a special radio broadcast from Hartford later Ryan said There is peculiarly unique form of govern ment In power in Washington. It is called the New Deal" The New Deal will be remembered as en- couraging strikes throughout the country short time ago, 1t will be better remembered as the govern ment which said in so many words "Those of you who are working on the WPA can not strike against gov. ernment. All of which goes to prove that 1t matters greatly on which fool the shoe is worn"

GOV. DICKINSON
 WOULD DROP OUT
Michigan Executive Seeks to Sign Petition for
 His Recall

Lansing, Mich, July i9--(UP)- Gov. Luren D. Dickinson said to- day that he wants to be the first to sign a petition to recall him. His political enemies were circulating one in Detroit. It was based on his recent castigation of "high life" in New York.
 T never was anxious to be gover- nor," he said. "If the petition goes through, I've got tarm to 90 to-"
 Dickinson, 80, is Sunday School teacher, and was head of the state- Anti Saloon League until he became governor. He was lieutenant-gover- nor until the death of Gov. Frank D. Fitzgerald.
 He attended the annual governors conference last month in Albany and accompanied the governors and their families to subsequent ban- quets and social functions in Sara toga Springs, West Point, and New York city. Last week he issued a statement criticizing the amount of liquor consumed and terming the east pitfall of sin for unsuspecting young women.
 The petition was started by John B. Corliss, e2. Detroit real estate agent who was a state representa- tive in 1923 and 1924. A Republican, as is Dickinson, Corliss said he held no personal malice against the gov ernor,
 His words" he said, "are just not those becoming a governor"
 Corliss thought he would get tht 400, 900 names requisite to force [ recall election.
 "The charges. as set forth in thu petition. are general" Corliss said ''and are based on the governor'l recent sounding-off about the evi he thinks he found in high places It's time to recall him" He sait the law did not require the petition to contain specific charges.

SCALLOP DRACCER
 ADRIFT 5 DAYS

Boston, July l9.-CUP).-Adrift for five days while coast guards hunted them by air and sea, the 10 crew-members of the disabled New Bedford scallop dragger Four Sisters arrived here today, hungry and weary but otherwise none the worse for their adventure.
 The Four Sisters was lowed into port by the Gloucester swordfisher- man Mary M., which picked it up at 9 a. m. yesterday 165 miles south- east of Boston. Neither craft was equipped with radio and hence could not advise the coast guard to halt the search.
 When the crippled dragger ar- rived at Boston fish pier there was little in the larder save a handful of coffee, and melted ice taken from the refrigerator hold Tad been tho sole source of drinking water during the last hours at sea.
 It was Thursday that the Four Sisters was disabled by a broken en- zine clutch on Georges Banks. 200 miles east of Boston. After hours of drifting, the clutch was repaired but when the dragger had covered 70 miles. it broke again.
 Ironically, the crew-memberf could hear over radio receiving set newscasts describing the coast guard search for them without be- ing able to send helpful directions
 So low did food supplies run that the fishermen were put on short ra. tions. Nor was this situation receiv. ed yesterday when the Mary M. ar. rived, for that vessel had been at ses for three weeks and had barely enough food for it's own crew.

DIVERS TO CLEAR
 SALVAGE GEAR

Portsmouth. N. H., July 19.-(UP) Navy divers prepared today to clear broken salvage gear from the deck of the sunken submarine Squalus
 Though the tangled equipment prevented them from walking along the hull, two divers returned yester- day with the encouraging report that the ill-fated submersible apparently had sufferede no new damage when 1t broke the surface, slipped from pontoon slings and plummeted again to the bottom Thursday.
 The first divers to reach the Squalus, Henry Frye of Washington and Lieutenant J. K. Morrison, also reported that the water-filled stern was in no more than 12 feet of mud at It's deepest point, eight feet less than 1t was after 1t sank May 23 carrying 26 men to death.
 Morrison found the bow tilted up- ward, indicating that the forward compartments still were dry. He re- ported that the bow torpedo port was closed.
 Both divers said the ship was list cd to port at six degree angle. Ii still was at it's 40-fathom depth.
 Other divers worked on pontoon No. 2, 95 feet below the surface. Still attached to the submarine, this and two other pontoons must be raised before the second salvage attempt begins.
 Work was suspended late yester- day because of a ground swell.
