Financiers Want Deeds, Not Words, But Market Has Boom IS ONLY BEGINNING Must Be Further Allocations, Is Belief in State Capital PHOENIX, Sept. 6. (IP) President Roosevelt today approved an allocation of for construction of the first unit of the Parker-Gila reclamation project near Yuma.

The vast project, upon completion, will reclaim more than 250,000 acres of arid lands along the Colorr.do river. The President announced his approval of the initial allocation in a telegram to Gov. B. B. Moeur.

The President also announced that he was approving the alloca tion of funds in order to carry out the declared purpose of the Boulder canyon project which provides for the use of water stored in the Boulder dam reservoir on the Colorado for exclusive beneficial use in the United States. This is the first time, state offi cials explained, that President Roosevelt and his administration have taken the stand that waters stored on the river are being held back for the exclusive use in the United States. In fact, it was said, this is the first time since the Colorado river controversy began that any national administration has declared itself with respect to the use of the waters of the river. Moeur Pleased Governor Moeur and other state officials expressed themselves as highly pleased, not only with the approval of the allocation of funds, but also with the announced policy of the administration that water stored on the Colorado river should be used in the United States. Through the announced policy of the President, officials saw brighter prospects than ever of Arizona obtaining her share of the water of the river as well as her portion of the power to be developed from Boulder dam and other proposed dams on the river.

Officials also expressed a belief that the declaration would go a long way in aiding the final adjustment of the river problem and settlement of the controversy. It is believed that approval of the $2,000,000 with which the reclamation bureau will start the project and construction of the diversion dam at Head Gate rock, between Parker and the proposed Parker dam, means approval of future allocations for completion of the project. Dam Authorized The entire Parker-Gila project is estimated to cost $20,500,000. The dam at Head Gate rock is authorized in the rivers and harbors bill approved by the President last Saturday. The same bill carries an approval of the proposed dam at the Parker site a few miles north of the Head Gate rock site, but no appropriation for it.

The message from the President to Governor Moeur read: "Remembering the great concern you have expressed to me over the best use of the waters of the Colorado river, I am glad to advise that last Saturday I approved the rivers and harbors bills which authorizes the construction of a dam at Head Gate rock and other works for the irrigation of lands in the Colorado river Indian reservation near Parker and steps now being taken to commence that development. "I have today approved an allotment to the reclamation bureau of $2,000,000 to commence construction (Continued to Page 7, Column 3) Breathing Spell Is What We Leaders; Most of Them Are Tight Lipped Regarding Promises Made by President NEW YORK, Sept 6. Wall President Roosevelt's announcement today that a "breathing spell for industry is here." In the stock exchange, prices were bid up to a new average high since February of 1934, with many leading industrial issues reaching the Police Sergeant Desires to Know When Is a lady not a lady? The police department had some difficulty over the question last night when a female voice called on the telephone to demand that an officer be sent out right away. The sergeant on the desk explained that there was a form to fill out, and wanted to know what the treble was. The female voice argued.

"But, lady, all we want to know is what the trouble is." "I'm not a lady," the indignant female voice replied. On further investigation, according to the police report, it was discovered that the "lady was full of intoxicants," and her husband was trying to take care of the matter. STORM VICTIMS TO BE CREMATED Governor Orders Entire Keys Burned to Stop Spread of Disease MIAMI, Sept. 6. (Governor Dave Sholtz tonight ordered the cremation of all bodies of storm victims in the Florida keys not yet placed in caskets "in order to avoid pestilence and the danger of disease." Declaring "the exigencies of the situation prevent setting any time for starting cremation," the governor said it probably would begin some time tomorrow.

His action followed a recommendation by Dr. Henry Hanson, Florida health officer, who returned from a survey of the stricken area. "The best thing to do is to burn the bodies," Hanson said. The governor himself earlier had made, an aerial inspection of the area laid waste by Monday's hurricane. Although expressing the opinion then cremation might ultimately be necessary, he said the final decision was up to health and relief authorities.

At the same time, a suggestion that a 10-mile stretch of the keys be burned over as a precaution against pestilence was made by Lieut. J. E. Fairbank, director of coast guard rescue operations. In a radio message to Jacksonville headquarters, Fairbank said: "I recommend that entire keys from Snake Creek to and including lower Matecumbe be burned." In connection with his cremation order, Governor Sholtz said he had ordered immediate burial of all bodies held in Miami and those In boxes in Matecumbe cemetery, on the key where the storm struck most violently.

He added that every effort would be made to identify the bodies. Most of them were those of war veterans living in FERA construction camps while they worked on the overseas highway across the keys. The cremation of one body, that of a woman, was reported tonight to the Red Cross by Thomas Con-roy, a rescue worker. The latest casualty list issued by the Red Cross showed 446 persons dead or missing. About 125 bodies had been brought to Miami and placed in mortuaries.

Of these, only 41 were listed as definitely identified. Dr. Hanson, in recommending cremation, said: "It has reached a stage where we must act quickly." He said persons handling the bodies would be exposed to gas poisoning. Rescue squads today were forced to don gas masks as decomposition of the bodies still strewn about the keys reached an advanced stage. While the rehabilitation work went slowly forward, three investigations were launched to determine if the war veterans who perished in the storm might have been saved.

The Florida East Coast railway gave an official answer to complaints of delay in dispatching a train to the keys to bring out the veterans. The train was wrecked by the hurricane before it could accomplish its rescue mission. Scott M. Liftin, co-receiver of the railroad, said officials of the line "exerted themselves to the utmost" to expedite the special train, "despite the many handicaps that existed." WALDR0N IS HEAD OF REHABILITATION BERKELEY, Sept. 6.

(IP) Appointment of J. A. Waldron as state director of rural rehabilitation for Arizona, was announced today by Walter E. Packard, regional director of the federal resettlement administration. Waldron will succeed L.

C. Mc-Cullough, acting state director. Mc-Cullough has been appointed supervisor of resettlement activities in Arizona. Waldron has been serving as assistant Maricopa county agent Packard said Waldron has had previous experience with agricultural conditions in Arizona.

6. (fP)-The disappearance of three persons charged with living in a state of polygamy abruptly ended a preliminary hearing here today and sent Sheriff Ernest Graham on a search through this mountainous region. Complaints lodged previously against three other persons had been ruled invalid by Justice of the Peace J. M. Lauritzen, and new ones were issued against I.

C. Spencer, Silvia Aired and Brice Johnson. But while court was adjourned at noon Spencer, Johnson and the woman disappeared. Sheriff Graham and his deputy, Millard Black, searched every house in the little settlement but to no avail. County Attorney Elmo Bollinger, who came here to prosecute the cases, said he believed the trio slipped across the Utah line, which is only 200 yards north of the little frame schoolhouse where the hear ing was held.

Virtually every member of this Isolated little coVnmunity was packed in the schoolhouse as five of the six persons named in the original complaint appeared for the hearing. Justice Lauritzen, after hearing arguments from Joseph Musser of Salt Lake, an official of the religious organization that has settled here, upheld a demurrer attacking the sufficiency of the complaints. Three Are Freed As a result Helen Hull, John Y. Barlow and Clarence Aired were freed of the accusations, but County Attorney Bollinger issued new charges against Spencer, Johnson and Silvia Aired on the same allegation of "open and notorious cohabitation." Following Issuance of the three complaints, Justice Lauritzen adjourned court until 1 p.m., when hearing on the charges was to have been held. It was then that the woman and two men dropped from sight.

The sheriff and his deputy passed most of the afternoon hunting for the fugitives, with Bollinger, Justice Lauritzen and most of the crowd waiting impatiently in the school. Late this afternoon Sheriff Graham took Bollinger and his court reporter to St. George, Utah. The sheriff said he would return tonight, when, he believed, the missing defendants would return to their homes. Bollinger Instructed Justice Lauritzen to place the defendants under bond if they are arrested, and if they are not able to furnish bond, to have them taken to the county jail at Kingman.

If they are located in Utah, the (Continued to Page 6, Column 3) LINDBERGHS MISSING IN 60-HOUR FLIGHT ST. PAUL, Sept. 6. (IP) Col. and Mrs.

Charles A. Lindbergh were unreported tonight more than 60 hours after their takeoff from the Camp Ripley national guard airport at Little Falls. The flying couple, apparently bound on a leisurely vacation trip, spent several days in Minnesota visiting relatives and friends. They would not announce their destination when they took to the air Wednesday. base to the extent necessary to approximate the needs of the situation; That there can be no real recovery until the fears of business have been allayed through the granting of a breathing spell to industry, and a recess from further experimentation until the country can recover Its losses.

I know you have repeatedly stated your position on sections of the nation's problems, but as an editor I know also the necessity for repetition and reiteration. There Is need to undo the damage that has been done by misinter-preters of the new deal. I know that you feel as I do that with all its faults, and the abuses it has developed, our system has in the past enabled us to achieve greater mass progress than has been attained by any other system on earth. Smoke out the sinister forces seeking to delude the public into believing that an orderly modernization of a system we want to preserve is revolution in disguise. League Names Committee Of Five to Consider African Problem EGYPT MADE ISSUE England Menace There to Italy, Is Claim of Roman Press GENEVA, Sept.

6. (P) A last-minute concession by Pre mier Mussolini made it possible for the League of Nations to put into operation its ma chinery tonight for a final desperate effort to prevent war between Italy and Ethiopia. In the darkest hour of the crisis, a subcommittee of five nations was named by the league council to deal with the dispute, Oreat Britain, France, Spain, Poland and Turkey compose the member ship. After this development, French quarters said Premier Pierre Laval would shortly make another effort to end the Italo-Ethiopian dispute by proposing a sort of Italian guardianship over Ethiopia similar to Britain "God parent relation ship" to Iraq. Britain, which formerly held a mandate over Iraq or Mesopotamia, now enjoys air base rights and some other special privileges as a sequence of her mandate, which ended over this former Turkish ter ritory in 1932, when Iraq became a full-fledged member of the League of Nations.

French sources said Laval planned to send his proposal to the subcommittee appointed today, and pointed out it would possess addi tional attraction for Mussolini, as Italy would be given military privi leges in Ethiopia at the beginning for the protection of Italian inter ests and all Italian settlers. Mere Suggestion The scheme was described as being merely a suggestion, the success of which would be dependent upon Ethiopias acceptance of it. Paris offered several weeks ago a solution for the Italo-Ethiopian problem providing for extensive Italian economic and financial privileges in Ethiopia, but Italy officially took the position that she cannot accept Ethiopian pledges, but that she must herself guarantee her interests. Mussolini, making one of his rare concessions, telephoned his spokesman, Baron Pompeo Aloisi, he would no longer insist that Italy be on the committee if France and Britain were to be members. Previously Mussolini had insisted that Italy be represented on the group if the great powers were.

This demand from Mussolini was found impossible, because if the council put Italy on the committee it would also have to appoint Ethiopia. The virtual effect of the appointment of the sub-committee will be to reopen the Paris tri-power conversations, which broke down when Mussolini refused to accept as a basis of discussion an offer prepared by Great Britain, giving (Continued to Page 7, Column 1) SEVEN SEA SCOUTS MISSING ON HUDSON POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Sept. 8. (f) Dutchess county Boy Scout officials tonight were asked to search the Hudson river for seven sea scouts en route from New York city to Albany in a whale-boat.

No word has been received from the scouts since Wednesday, it was said. Walter C. Forse, Dutchess county Boy Scout executive, said he had been asked to make the search by James Beard, Manhattan scout He said he made a speed boat trip down the river as far as West Point tonight, but could not locate them. The sea scouts, all from the Manhattan council, left New York earlier in the week for the trip to Albany. Their craft is equipped with sail and oars.

GLOBE MINER FOUND DEAD OF GUN WOUND GLOBE, Sept. 6 (IP) Pete Orlich 40, unemployed miner, was found dead in his home tonight from a gunshot wound which, police said, apparently was self-inflicted. Orlich's wife told Coroner Eras-tus Grice that her husband had been complaining of ill health recently. She said she was sitting in the front yard of their home with her sister when she heard a shot. Upon entering the house she found her husband dead.

An inquest will be held at 2:30 p. m. tomorrow. Orlich, a native of Yugoslavia, had been a resident of Globe for six years. He worked as a miner until the copper companies closed.

Recently he had been working on ERA projects. Many Frankly Critical Promises But Stocks Go Upward of HYDE PARK, N. Sept. 6. (P) Satisfied that the "basic program" of the new deal is substantially completed, President Roosevelt set about tonight to lend an example to the nation of today's declaration for a "breathing spell." An exchange of letters with Roy W.

Howard, publisher of the Scripps-Howard newspapers, the President noted the publisher's statement that "many business men who once gave you sincere support are now, not merely hostile, they are frightened." "This replied the President in a long letter, "came into power pledged to a very considerable legislative program. This basic program, however, has now reached substantial completion and the 'breathing spell of which you speak is here very decidedly so. "I take It that we are all not merely seeking, but getting the recovery of confidence, not merely the confidence of a small group, but that basic confidence on the part of the mass of our population, in the soundness of our economic life and in our honesty and Justice of the purposes of its economic rules and methods." In unusual good spirits at his regular press conference at home today, Mr. Roosevelt told newspapermen he had about concluded work on the legislation of the last session of congress and indicated he was looking forward to the 'breathing spell' prescribed for the nation. Sees Recovery Ahead "It Is a source of great satisfaction," he wrote to Mr.

Howard, "that at this moment conditions are such as to offer further substantial and widespread recovery. Unemployment is still with us, but it is steadily diminishing and our efforts to meet its problems are unflagging." Mr. Howard, In his letter of August said men of "patriotism and sense of public service" have become convinced: "That you fathered a tax bill that aims at revenge rather than revenue revenge on business; "That the administration has side-stepped broadening the tax base to the extent necessary to approximate the needs of the situation; "That there can be no real recovery until the fears of business have been allayed through the granting of a breathing spell to industry and a recess from further experimentation until the country can recover its losses." Not to Destroy Wealth Roosevelt replied the tax bill "is not to destroy wealth, but to create a broader range of opportunity, to restrain the growth of unwholesome and sterile accumulations and to lay the burdens of government where they can best be carried." He said the bill affects individual people who have incomes of over $50,000 a year and individual estates of descendants who leave over $40,000. He agreed with congress in refusing to broaden the tax base with increased levies on a greai, number of people with the declaration that "the broadening of our tax base in the past few years has been very As for changing the corporation tax from a flat per cent to a (Continued to Page 8, Column 1) RENTED WITHIN A FEW HOURS AFTER PUBLICATION OF THIS WANT AD!

Phone 2400 CLASSIFIED DEPARTMENT YOU CAN CHARGE IT SCHUMANN-HEINK MOVIES BATTLE FOR NOTED DIVA Laskv and M. G. M. Claim Schumann-Heink; Will Hays to Decide HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 6.

(IP) The Will Hays office, film-dom's high court, was asked tonight to intervene in the battle between two motion picture studios over the services of Madame Ernestine Schu-mann-Heink, 74-year-old singer. In a radio message from a steam ship bound for England, Jesse Las-ky, of the newly formed Pickford-Lasky corporation, announced he would appeal to the Hays office against the signing of Madame Schumann-Heink by Metro-Gold-wyn-Mayer, disclosed yesterday. The producer, in announcing his association with Mary Pickford July 30, stated that the silver-haired diva, current film sensation, had agreed to play in several-pictures for him and that he held an option on her services. His statement tonight read: "I am today submitting the matter to the Will Hays office for adjudication and settlement through orderly industry channels. I cannot reconcile the action of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in interfering with my negotiation and agreements with the artist in the light of past industry, ethics of this sort." A favorite for years on the concert stage, in opera, and before her "soldier boys" in war-time mess halls, Schumann-Heink was given her first screen opportunity in Lasky's final production with Fox studio.

It was only a "bit" in a musical starring another opera singer, but she was declared a "standout" at the recent preview here. Lasky immediately left by train for Chicago to sign her to a contract. M. C. Levee, M-G-M artists" agent, took a plane and beat him to Schumann-Heink's signature.

Hollywood, highly interested in the screen "discovery" of the virtually retired concert star, whose career spanned a half-century, recalled she had lived here close to the studios for several years without being noticed by the casting directors. JUDGE DINES BAD BOY AND LOSES HIS WATCH AUSTIN, Sept. 6. Judge Henry Weber invited to his home for dinner an 11-year-old boy who had been involved in many petty thefts. When the lad departed, he took along the judge's watch.

So he was taken to the state training school at Red Wing last night servations and opinions which I believe timely and pertinent. These represent, I believe, a composite of the mostly frequently expressed criticisms of your administration. That certain elements of business have been growing more hostile to your administration is a fact too obvious to be classed as news. So long as this hostility emanated from financial racketeers, public exploiters and the sinister forces spawned by special privilege, it was of slight importance. No crook loves a cop.

But any experienced reporter will tell you that throughout the country many business men who once gave you sincere support are now, not merely hostile, they are frightened. Many of these men whose patriotism and sense of public service will compare with that of any men in political life, have become convinced and sincerely believe: Revenue or Revenge? That you fathered a tax bill that aims at revenge rather than revenue revenge on business; That the administration has side-stepped broadening the tax Want, Say Many Business Street drew bullish fire from best levels since 1931. Most leading financiers and Industrialists maintained tight-lipped silence when asked for comment on the President's remarks, but some said privately a breathing spell was what they had long hoped for as a stimulus to recovery. Some said bluntly they were more interested in deeds than words, Among them was John F. Harris, director of the Southern Pacific company and the Equitable Life As.

He said: The stock market, inclined to be hesitant during the morning, de veloped considerable buoyancy in the later hours of trading, with a number of industrial issues rising $1 to $4 a share. In various brok erage circles, it was said that some of the recent bulls on the stock mar ket had based their attitude partly on the belief that congress had been kept in session all summer to clean up the reform phase of the New Deal, and leave business recovery free from disturbance in 1936. Among commentators who took the view that the President's remarks meant the beginning of a new phase of the New Deal, devoted to Industrial recovery, was Major L. L.

"Following the best summer showing that some distributive branches achieved in six years, fall trade made a rather faltering start," it was declared. "Hurricanes, floods and rain forced consumers to defer their planned shopping tours, while the wholesale markets turned quieter, in spite of substantial reorders, as retailers awaited further evidence of the strength of buying power.

"Industrial operations, however, were altered slightly by holiday influences, the general average being advanced, with outstanding progress reported for the cotton goods division of the textile industry." In retail lines, it was stated, essential needs in apparel and supplies incident to the opening of school made up the bulk of the volume, and the average increase for the country as a whole was estimated at 2 to 15 per cent over the corresponding week of 1934. W.C.T.U TO FIGHT BEER IN CCC CAMPS ATLANTIC CITY, N. Sept. 6. (IP) Mrs.

Ida B. Wise Smith, national president, proposed to the 61st annual national convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union tonight that the organization would start an active campaign at once to stop the sale of beer at civilian conservation camps. Beer selling in the CCC camps, she said, exposed the young men to "exploitation by the liquor men." The union is expected to endorse the proposal formally next week.

After firing at the officers, the men in the car sped away. The officers gave chase, shooting out the automobile tail light and rear win dow, but the car and occupants escaped when another automobile drove in front of the policemen.

Roosevelt Replies The President, under date of September 2, 1935, replied: My Dear Mr. Howard: I appreciate the tone and pur pose of your letter, and fairness impels me to note with no little sympathy and understanding the facts which you record, based on your observations as a reporter of opinion throughout the United States. I can well realize, moreover, that the many legislative details and processes incident to the long and arduous session of the congress should have had the unavoidable effect of promoting some confusion in many people's minds. I think we can safely disregard the skeptics of whom you speak. Skeptics were present when Noah said it was going to rain and they refused to go into the ark.

We can also disregard those who are actuated by a spirit of political partisanship or by a willingness to gain or retain personal profit at (Centinaed to Page 6, Column 1) Text of Roosevelt-Howard 'Breathing Spell' Correspondence HYDE PARK, N.

Howard, in a letter dated August 26, 1935, wrote: My Dear Mr. President: As an independent editor keenly interested in the objectives of the new deal, I have been seeking reasons for the doubts and uncertainties of those business men who are skeptics, critics and outright opponents of your program at a time when there is no commensurate dissatisfaction being evidenced by others of the electorate. I do not accept it as a fact that the interests of what we broadly term business, necessarily are In conflict with mass interests.
