The attitude of the American gov- ernment was explained at the treas- ury Monday, where it was said no new plan had reached Washington since the one rejected last week by President Roosevelt. It was emphasized this govern- ment was not trying to minimize the importance of currency stabilization, but felt this was only one of the many things which should be con- sidered in a general scheme of set- tling the world economic ills. The specific new instructions which went to the delegates last Saturday explained that the American repre- sentatives are to make no commit- ments until Washington has been consulted. Decisions here will all hinge on the word of vacationing President Roosevelt. Officials here have emphasized that his disapproval of the first plan sub- gins. | 2 CAPITAL CITY BOY HAS NARROW ESCAPE | AT SWIMMING HOLE Sinks Unnoticed Sunday and: eS ' Returned Home Safe ae PRICE FIVE CENTS y Spell SUDDEN DOWNPOUR RESCUES CROP IN | BISMARCK DISTRICT Weather Bureau Asserts Preci- pitation Is General in Missouri Valley LIGHT SPRINKLES ON SLOPE Body Is Only Accident- ally Discovered LOCAL YOUTHS FIND BODY Artificial Respiration Used to Revive Carvel Johnson's Life Spark If he succeeds in warding off com-| plications which may follow his near-/ drowning Sunday afternoon, Carvel Johnson, 19, Bismarck, will have es- caped death by the narrowest of mar- WILLIAM HAMM, JR.

Hamm said he was driven by three men, who “resembled the same men who drove him in the first car, to a point near Wyoming. “Was anything said to you when you were released?” “No,” he answered. Hamm said he then walked to a nearby farm home and called the Hamm residence and notified them of his freedom. Turned loose 45 miles north of here, Hamm came home with Police Chief Thomas E.

(Continued on Page Seven) Fog Prevents Search For Missing Aviator Nome, Alaska, June 19.—(#)— Weather-bound by cold banks of fog and low-lying clouds for 24 hours, two navy fliers stationed in the Prib- ilofs awaited better conditions Mon- day to start a search for Jimmie Mat ¢ tern, lost on the trans-Pacific lap of his round-the-world flight. Their bases, the old troop ship Ar- gonne and the aircraft tender Patoka, were prepared to steam westward along the Aleutians, reports here said, if needed to aid the search. The fliers are Ensign William A. Moffett, Jr., son of the late Rear Admiral Mof- fett, and Lieut. John Vest. Meanwhile the coast guard, togeth- er with eight to a dozen commercial and private fliers on the mainland, also were in action hunting for Mat- tern, now unreported on his fifth day after taking off from Khabarovsk, Siberia, on a 2,500-mile flight to Nome. Two years ago, Don Moyle and Cecil Allen were safe on an Aleutian island for seven days, on a trans- Pacific flight, before being able to fly to the Siberian mainland and send cut word they still were alive To Finland, which paid in full, went a note agreeing to confer and prais- ing the country for having met “an important national obligation.” Italy, jinformed that her $1,000,000 payment on a $14,000,000 installment might be regarded as “unsubstantial,” never- |theless, was told that the United | States “will be glad to confer with you ‘in regard to this matter.” iSearcher Finds Body | Of Missing Minister Ely, Minn., June 19.—(?)—The body jof the Rev. William H. Downing, 42, Eveleth Methodist minister for whom @ search warrant in the Superior Na- | tional forest has been under way since jlast Tuesday was found in Birch Lake Sunday. The body had been in the water about four days, officials said. The body was found by Deputy Sheriff Adolph Dolanshak about 30 feet from shore and a half mile from where the minister was last seen by P. J. Janisch, Eveleth, with whom he had been fishing. Janisch had taken {his companion to shore when he com- plained of illness. Officials believe the Rev. Mr. Downing fainted and fell in the lake. There were no marks of violence on his body and he was fully dressed. An inquest probably will be held, it was announced. More than 200 persons, including several ministers, had taken part in the search while the lake had been dragged several times since last Wed- nesday. fp ER Nak | Stork Made Four | Trips Here Sunday | Four children were born in Capital City hospitals Sunday.

A i Washington, June 19.—()—Presi- | beginning June 26 throughout the cotton belt during which an intensive effort to obtain the cooperation of growers will be made. ‘Wallace, indicating confidence grow- ers will cooperate, put the burden of final determination on the planters by specifying he will not accept the offers to lease unless a sufficient num- ber have been received to justify a reduction program. Unless acreage capable of taking two million bales of cotton out of pro- Guction is leased, Wallace said, he did not believe there would be any use in applying the program. The average yield in the south is one-third of a bale an acre and six million acres has been tentatively set as a minimum. Takes Up Differential ‘The amount of the tax is based on the difference between the current average farm price and the “parity” price based on pre-war farm price averages. If the tax is put into ef- fect as of June 16 it would be 4.1 cents per pound. Wallace said the current farm price may go up or down before Aug. 1, this either increasing or de- creasing the maximum which he will levy. Two plans will be offered growers. First, a cash payment In considera- tion of cooperation, based on the pro- ductivity of the land and ranging from $6 per acre for land yielding on sition to President Roosevelt's Price- raising program was laid by the French before the world economic conference Monday. They urged the world to adopt gov- ernmental agreements regulating the Production and” exportation of basic raw material. This policy was set forth in a memorandum presented by Robeg aces and commercial affairs of the Lister of coloniés, carried the attack against inflation further by declar- of the conference that something tangible along the lines the French j had suggested must be accomplished behind tariff walls erected about her , great empire. | Production and exportation agree- ments, the Coulondre memorandum said, should begin with such key Products as wheat. wood, wine, cop- Per, silver, coal, cotton and wool. M. Sarraut said France considered trade restrictions, such as quotas and tariffs, to be the “superficial evi- dence of disease” and once produc- tion and consumption . had been equalized by governmental contracts, Prices would rise and debtors would be relieved of their burdens, Ruling Favors Americans The colonial’ minister tried to ect ahead of consideration of reduc- tion in tariffs, quotas and other re- | Strictions.

The options will be offered at six cents per pound, nearly three cents under the current market price. The second plan calls for a cash benefit without the cotton option, the amount of the benefit or rental to be on a per acre basis, to range from $7 for land yielding from 100 to 124 pounds per acre to $20 for land yield- ing 275 pounds or more per acre. Wallace estimated approximately $100,000,000 will be paid growers as rental benefits in addition to the use of $50,000,000 to acquire full title to government-held cotton on which growers will receive benefits as a re- sult of being able to buy it at less than market prices. Stage Nude Parade In Doukhobor Revolt Hendryk Colijn, head of the commis- sion, ruled in their favor. Holding that “anarchy of produc- tion is the real source of the distress- es of the world,” in advocating this change in the agenda program, Sar- raut went contrary to American wish- es to deal first with tariffs and allied subjects. 49 Agree to Truce Another outstanding development Monday was the announcement of Dr. Colijn that 49 nations, representing 85 per cent of the world’s trade, al- ready have subscribed to President Roosevelt's truce on tariff changes.

The rain broke suddenly at Bis- marck at 12:50 p. m. and at 1:30 the Precipitation totalled .80 of an inch. O. W. Roberts, federal meteorolo- gist here, said the rain extended up and down the Missouri valley and was moving eastward. The Bismarck office of the Ameri- can Telephone and Telegraph com- Pany reported that the extreme western part of the state had had only light sprinkles during the late forenoon and that skies had cleared, indicating that hopes for more rain there were small. Downpour Short-Lived The heavy downpour continued for less than an hour but a light sprinkle continued thereafter. Fort Lincoln was struck with a heavy hail storm, but little damage GRAIN PRICES RISE Chicago, June 19.—()—Grains swept sharply higher in price Monday, borne upward by severe hot weather in the wheat and corn belts and by higher quotations on British exchange.

Early reports indicated that tha heavy rain extended as far west as Dickinson, north to Washburn, east to Steele, and south to Moffit and St. Anthony, Roberts: said. Continuing “muggy” weather in- dicated that more rainfall was in prospect here. Not since June 3 and 4, when half tan inch of rain fell here, had Bis- marck had substantial rainfall until Monday. Dry Since June 4 Since June 4 only .19 of an inch had been recorded, coming in light show- ers over several days from the seventh to 11th. Cooling winds brought relief to Bis- marck and North Dakota Monday forenoon, The heat wave here continued far into Sunday night, however, with the temperature here at 1 a. m., 96 de- grees, according to Roberts. The mercury had dropped to 71 at 8 a. m., but by 9:45 a. m. Monday it had climbed back to 77. Dunn Center and Crosby were the coolest spots in North Dakota Sun- day, each with maximums of 99 de- grees. They were the only stations of 26 reporting which had maximums under 100. Jamestown reported 107 degrees and Bismarck 106. The warm night was unusual for North Dakota. A 35-mile-an-hour wind whipped the heat about the entire Missouri Valley, doing great damage to crops, weather officials said. Forecast is Cooler The forecast is for fair and cooler weather throughout North Dakota Monday night and Tuesday. Only one area in the state has re- ported precipitation since the heat wave began. Early Sunday evening a hail and rain storm occurred near Sunny, about six miles west of Man- dan, but did not continue for long. Several automobiles were stalled in that vicinity during the storm. About an inch of precipitation was reported in that area, while 20 miles west it remained dry. Sprinkling rains were reported at Flasher, Lark and Carson. The heat wave has broken all ex- isting records for this early in June, Creek Sunday. Pastor for Bismarck | Church Is Ordained Chicago, June 19.—(#)—Dr. G. A.
