Along with that request from Hugh 8. Johnson, recovery administrator, went this boycott threat: “where should you spend? Can there be any question? You should spend under the blue eagle. If you spend there you are spending for in- creased employment. If you spend elsewhere you are hurting the chance to end unemployment because you are helping to destroy the business of the men who are paying more for help, you are aiding them who refuse to do so.” Sunday, Johnson looked over the score sheet. He found five indus- tries—cotton textiles, coats and suits, shipbuilding, electrical manufacturing and woolen textiles, each employing thousands—operating under perman- ént codes. ‘He found 26 other groups, working additional thousands, functioning un- der the temporary agreements. That ‘was enough, he concluded, so he sent his first “buy now” messages to a Cleveland mass meeting. Will Emphasize Plea ‘ Continuing through the week, speakers will emphasize that same message. th their pleas. will run this line spoken by Johnson: “Turn your money into things be- cause, almost before you can draw a breath, the things you want. will. be worth more than the money you can save by not buying.” Meantime, Monday, the presiden- tial board named to arbitrate labor difficulties was called into its first meeting to make preliminary surveys of causes behind various strikes, big and small, and the attempt to arbi- trate the causes into nothingness. In Monday’s picture there also was personal promise by President Roosevelt to businessmen who have contracts with the government that the contracts would be adjusted to allow for rising prices. To retailers making local agree- ments to cut hours of operation, Johnson sent a warning that they must take care or losé the blue eagle. Their temporary code he reminded, was approved with the understand- ing that the average hours of retail store operation should be kept around cs. Farm administrators were notified that representatives of grain exchang- es on Wednesday will submit a code for their operation in response to the recent demand of George N. Peek, chief administrator, “to put your house in order” or “the government will step in.” CLAIM MANY FEEL BENEFITS OF PROGRAM Minneapolis, Aug. 7.—(#)—More than 120,000 employes in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota al- ready have felt the benefits of the president's national recovery program, E. M. Zwickel, manager of the Min- neapolis district office of the depart- ment of commerce, estimated Mon- day. ‘This estimate was based on returns from more than 20,000 employers who enlisted under the N.R.A. banner dur- ing the first week of the drive.

Revive Youngster TWO FRENCH FLIERS LAND IN SYRIA ON HOP FROM NEW YORK Set New Distance Record on Non-Stop Journey of Nearly 6,000 Miles (By the Associated Press) Another record of the air was broken Monday when Paul Codos and Maurice Rossi, french fliers, ended a 5,900 mile flight at Rayak, Syria, 54 hours 19 minutes from the time they took off at Floyd Bennet Airport, New York. It was the longest non-stop’ flight ever made and exceeded the old rec- ord by approximately 560 miles. The old distance of 5,340 miles was flown last February by two British air corps Officers. According to dispatches from Dam- ascus, Syria, the Frenchmen still had gasoline in the tanks of their plane but decided to come down in view of the fact they had broken the record. In one message received at Paris the fliers spoke of a gasoline leak. Lieutenant Lucien Bussoutrout, who Prepared their plane for the flight, said it was his opinion the loss of fuel resulted from excessive evaporation because of hot weather rather than from a leak. While information was the old rec- ord of squadron leader O. R. Gay- ford and flight Heutenant G. E. Nic- oletts of the British Royal Air Force had been bettered by 500 miles, navy department at Washington estimated their mark had been exceeding by on- ly 290 miles. Started for Aleppo Their aim had been to jand at Alep- pe in northern Syria after traveling by way of Budapest. At Aleppo the present record of 5,340 miles, set last February by Squadron Leader Oswald R. Gayford: and Flight Lieutenant Gilbert E. Nicholetts of the British Royal Air Force, would be surpassed. From the Austrian-German fron- tier the aviators, who left Brooklyn at 4:41 a. m, E.S.T., Saturday, sent a wireless message here saying that unless the leak increased they be- lieved they had sufficient gasoline to reseh Aleppo and perhaps Baghdad, raq. Communications with Paris be- came less frequent as the fliers head- ed into Hungary. At 1:52 a. m. (7:52 Pp. m., ES.T., Sunday) they gave their Position as about 20 miles southwest This message, the last received here, said they hoped to break the record, even though the leak was giving them trouble. The Joseph Le Brix, the third French plane ever to cross the At- Jantic, saluted its home airport, Le Bourget, at 2:20 p. m., E.S.T., Sunday, nine minutes behind Colonel Lind- bergh’s time of 33 hours, 30 minutes from New York to Paris. Doctors Work Tirelessly For Four Hours Over Body of Harry Webber WAS DROWNED IN CITY POND 11-Year-Old Boy Had Been Fishing For Minnows; Brother in Hospital ‘Though two Bismarck and Mandan doctors worked for four hours over his limp body, their untiring efforts Saturday afternoon failed to rescusi- tate Harry G.

Lawrence, failing to rescue his brother, saved his own life by cling- ing to the log. Green and Smith chanced to pass by at that time. Upon getting the youngster out of the water, Green administered artifi- cial respiration treatment. Green was graduated from Bismarck high school with the class of 1933, and was a star all-around athlete while in school. A short time later the oxygen ma- chines from the city fire hall were brought to the pond and a crew of men from the North Dakota Power and Light company, where the father of the boy is employed, arrived to as- sist in the artificial respiration treat- ment. At 2:30 o'clock Dr. W. B. Pierce of Bismarck arrived and took charge. He sald Monday that at no time did his stethoscope definitely reveal a beating of the heart in the boy. He injected adrenalin to stimulate the heart and made use of an oxygen device in the attempt to revive the boy. He was as- sisted by Dr. George H. Spielman of Mandan, who arrived later. The doctors, not wishing to waste any time in the emergency by moving the boy, worked on the body at the Ponda ate ae large group of spec- ‘ors, including the’ boy’: looked on.

INQUIRY BEGUN AS NINERS REFUSE 10 RETURN TO DUTIES District President Blames Dis- obedience on Communis- tic Elements DISREGARD STRIKE TRUCE Some Mines Open Here and There But For Most Part Work At Standstill Brownsville, Pa., Aug. 7.—(?)—The federal government Monday began an inquiry into alleged communistic ac- tivities in the soft coal fields as thousands of striking miners refused to return to work under the truce called by President Roosevelt. Here and there a mine reopened but for the most part the diggings were shut down. The H. C. Frick Coke company, which operates dozens of mines in Fayette county, heart of the area which has been strikebound for two weeks, postponed reopening of 10 mines until Tuesday at the request of Governor Pinchot. The executive said he feared trouble if resumption were attempted Mon- day. The strikers, who say they want more time in which to study terms of the agreement, had their picket army in the field but most picket lines dwindled after no resumption was ate tempted. The last mine operating in Fayette county—the Davidson mine of the Purity Connellsville Coal and Coke company, employing 150 men—closed Monday morning. The miners say they will have sev- eral thousand on picket lines if the Frick Coal company tries to reopen its workings Tuesday. A:battalion of nae tional guardsmen, sent to the area @ week ago by Governor Pinchot, and State police, are preparing for any eventuality. A back-to-the-mines movement got under way in Allegheny county, where several thousand struck ally last week, but pickets gathered at several large mines and forestalled resumption. Union officials admittedly are dis- tressed by the anomalous situation— union miners striking for recognition of their union and refusing to heed the advice of their leaders to go back to work. P. T. Fagan, president of district number five, Monday blamed the dise Obedience and defiant attitude on communistic elements which he said are at work among the men. A thousand men refused to go to work at the Pittsburgh Coal com- Pany’s Montour mine No. 10 Monday, alleging the company’s superintendent declined to employ checkweighmen chosen by the union. Under the terms of the temporary truce approved in Washington last week, the men were to have the priv- ilege of selecting their own check- weighmen. Youth Is Saved by Operation On Heart Chicago, Aug. 7.—(?)—A 16-year-old youth with a sewed-up heart was alive Monday and his physician said the delicate operation, performed after the victim was mysteriously stabbed by an unidentified assailant probably would be successful.

Koucky, assistant professor of surgery in the University of Illinois school of medicine, operated. “The heart had stopped beating when the boy was placed on the ope- rating table,” Dr, Koucky said. Thirty seconds later the operation would have been futile, he said. As to the number of stitches, he said he knew he took four to close the inch long wound but that in his haste he may have taken five. Following the operation the heart Was massaged until it resumed its nor- mal beating. Will Bury Victim of Mishap in Mill City Minneapolis, Aug. 7.—(?}—Puneral services for John R.
