SALT LAKE CITY, November 26.— One convict was wounded, a dining room wrecked and a cell house threat- ened by fire in a riot at the Utah State Prison tonight. The blaze was brought under control by fire companies, and the 250 rioting prisoners were subdued by prison guards before & squad of 25 city policemen and deputy sheriffs armed with tear gas and machine guns arrived at the prison. Jesus Areso, a prisoner, was shot in one leg when he attempted to rush through a rear door of the prison while guards were entering from outside the walls, His condition was not serious. ‘Warden R. E. Davis reported the riot broke out while the men were march- ing into the dining room for their eve- ning meal. Pile Furniture for Fire. After approximately 250 of them had reached the room they began smashin; furniture and dishes. They pil benches and chairs on the large stove in the place to start the fire. Three inside guards were unable to halt the ricting, but succeeded in closing the doors and confining the uprising to the dining room. No effort was made to harm them, the prisoners being con- tent to wreck the room. When the fire companies flames were leaping from the roof of the cell house. The blaze was soon under control and all available guards circled the building where the prisoners were screaming and smashing furniture.

Werden Davis tald he was unable to explain the outbreak, but reported one of the men had written “You're getting short ‘silver’” on a blackboard found in the room. Davis is known as “Silver Top” among the prisoners because of his white hair, and he indicated the “short” probably referred to the prison rations. He said, however, the men were well fed.

DETROIT, November 26.—Henry Ford, stricken suddenly with the first serious iliness of his 69 years, under- went an emergency operation this after- noon at Henry Ford Hospital. An announcement from the hospital said that Mr. Ford was operated on at 5 p.m. for strangulated femoral hernia, and that at 8 p.m. his pulse and tem- perature were normal and that he was resting well. Later tonight his condition was de- | scribed as “fine.” It was learned also that his appendix was removed. ‘The operation was performed by Dr. Roy D. McClure, head of the hospital into which the motor magnate put $10,000,000 during the World War. Mr. Ford, who on the occasion of his 69th birthday last July 30 spoke of his unusually vigorous health, complained jof a cold yesterday and left his office at the Ford Motor Co. | This efterncon he complained of | further pains, and the operation was decided on after an examination.

An effort to keep the illness of the world’s premier motor car maker a se- cret failed, and an announcement was made from the hospital shortly after 8 pm. The announcement was brief, stating only the nature of the opera- tion, the name of the surgeon and the fact that Mr. Ford was “resting well.” Willlam Cameron, spokesman for Henry Ford, sald that Mr. Ford’s iliness end operation came es a great surpris: to him. He caid Mr. Ford had been in unusually gocd heaith recently. At the Ford Moor Co. cfficials close to Mr. Ford said they were keeping in constant touch with the hospital. They aid they expected that Mr. Ford would be out of the hospital and able to re- turn to his offices within “a week or_so.” From other sources it was stated that on arrival at the hospital Mr. Ford walked to his.room and that was taken to the opera room a few minutes after arrival at hospital. Half of the third floor, on which Mr. Ford’s -room was reserved, was roped off to insure privacy for the noted patient, and of the hospital v:re warned not to reveal that he was there. ‘These moves were typical of the re- serve with which tise'man who changed {he Nation’s transpor.ation habits and revised its inZusirial policles has adcpied In recent years. - Spoke on Radio for Hoover.

FIVE NATIONAL GROUPS TO CONVENE HERE SOON President-elect Avoids Dictator Role in Conferences, But Hints Necessity of Action. By the Acsociated Press. WARM SPRINGS, November 26—In an hour’s conference with a group of farm leaders, Franklin D. Roosevelt told them he hoped the short session of Congress would enact legislation for handling the problem which will be raised by the 1933 crop. The meeting, one of a series of those the President-elect will hold in evolving a plan for dedling with the agricultural question, brought at its end an an- | nouncement from Louis J. Taber, master of the National Grange, that a joint gathering of five farm organizations will be held in Washington shortly to seek an agreement upon the method to be employed. Such a meeting will be in line with {llm proposal made by Mr. Roosevelt in | his farm relief speech at Topeka at the beginning of his Western campaign trip. ' Avoids Dictator Role. ‘Taber said that while he gained the impression that the President-elect did not wish to be placed in the position of appearing to dictate to Congress at the short session, Mr. Roosevelt indicated that he desired some legislation to be enacted for dealing with the 1933 crop.

Senator Prederick Hale, Republican of Maine, is slated to suceed Jones as chairman the Democrats take over Senate organi- zation after March 4. Senator Hale, however, has not been a member of the special economy group. The Economy Subcommittee now con- sists of Senators Bingham and Dick- inson, Republicans, and Senators Mc- Kellar, Bratton and Byrnes, Democrats. The Senate, when it meets, will name a successor to Senator Jones as the third Republican member of the group. Suggestions Were Asked. Several months before his death Sen- ator Jones wrote to the head of each department of the Government, asking them to submit recommendations as to how further savings could be effected and whether any modifications in the present economy law should be con- sidered. It is understood that the re- plies received from the heads of the several executive departments indicated that their suggestions on this subject have been laid before the Budget Bureau for co-ordination.

Among the other questions discussed with the President-elect was the possi- bility of liberalizing the machinery of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and adding to the facilities of the farm loan system to improve the farm credit situation.

An emergency appropriation of $1,320,000 for unemployment relief in the District for the calendar year be- ginning January 1 next will be recom- mended to the Commissioners by offi- clals of the Board of Public Welfare, it was learned yesterday at the District Building. Apportionéd over the year, this would allow $110,000 a month for the alleviation of conditions that have grown increasingly worse since the ad- vent of cold weather. The entire amount, according to Maj. Daniel J. Donovan, auditor and budget officer, can be provided without resort to increased taxation by the simple ex- pedisnt of using the funds saved in the current fiscal year through operation of the compulsory legislative furlough in the District service. Maj. Donovan estimated that the saving would net approximately $1,400,000. Spending $25,000 a Week.
