The four had been in ihe water for about half an hour before those aboard the Washington craft knew of the hccident. Mrs, Marston said after her rescue all four are good swimmers and at no time were they near drowning. She was quoted as saying they swam toward the ‘Washington voat and were almost there when some one discovered them in the wa- ter.

The Bluebird was not endangered. | Donald jumped from the car as it came to & halt and in an effort to | reach his father as soon as possible, slipped and fell, scratching his left hand. As he ran to his famous parent | and hugged and kissed him, tears | flowed down the lad's face, but he | collected his emotions quickly. “What a Pity,” Says Wife.

DRAFTS PROGRAM FOR "3 Convention at Yellowstone Park to Ask Aid for Merit Plan. BY J. A. FOX, Staff Correspondent of The Star. YELLOWSTONE NATIONJL PARK, Wyo, BSeptember 3.—With preliminaries out of the way, dele- gates to the thirteenth convention of the National Federation of Federsl Employes today set about to draft t! legislative program that will be pushed at the next session of Con- gress, for the benefit of Uncle Sam's workers scattered over the globe, Committees appointed at the open- ing yesterday were reporting. At the same time members were awaiting the arrival of Harry B. Mitchell, president of the Civil 8ervice Commission, who was to speak. -It was thought pos- sible also that Senator McCarran, Democrat, of Nevada, leader in the fight for elimination of the Govern~ ment pay cut, might come in at the initial session of the convention yes- terday in Old Faithful Inn. With ap- proximately 200 delegates on hand, it was indicated clearly that, as forecast, one of the principal demands that will come from the gathering will be for strengthening of the merit system. As Luther C. Steward, the president, in his opening address, emphasized that the federation proposed to fight | K to terminate abuces of the competitive system, and extend the principles of | § civil service, the delegates broke into | i applause. Several resolutions were handied as the convention started. The federa- tion called for hospitalization of Fed- eral employes and employment of both | Ji§ Catholic and Protestant chaplains at all veterans’ facilities. It refused to approve goevrnmental ownership of | [ public utilities. Senators Wagner, Democrat, of New - York, chairman of the Public Lands | K Committee, and Carey, Republican, of Wyoming, & member of the committee, | i§ who are on a tour of the West, spoke briefly at the opening session, stress- | & ing the benefits of organization.
