and many of the others were broken
up by police.
The meetings extended from Bos

WAGNER BILL IS MADE LAW
Washington The Wagner bill for
advance planning of federal public
works as a rafegr-arrt against unem
ployment, Tuesday became a law.
It was signed by President Hoover,
who said he took that action with
"great plearuve." The bill, by Sen
ator Wagner, a democrat, piaccs the
duty of planning federal construc
tion in the hands of Secretary La
mont. "Senator Wagner and Represen
tative Graham," PWMeBt Hoover
said, have worked out an an admir
able measure in which they adopted
the constructive suggestions of the
various government departments. "
The- bill provides for planning and
acceleration of federal construction
work far enough ahead so it will
be possible to give employment in
times of depression.
"It is not a cure for business de
pression," the president said, "but
will afford better e)rganization for
relief in future depressions."

First Farm Seed
Loans Sent Out

i Total of R400.000 Has Alresay Been
Eeqnested St. Louis Of
fice Is Busy
St. Louis. Mo.. Feb. 6. Drought
relief in a form that will help suffer
ers help themselves, was commenced
by the Fedr. l Government Wednes
day with the issuance of the Hrsi
farm seed loan. A thek for $350.
the first Installment of a loan of
$500. was mailed to Z. P. Lusk. of
Post. Tex.
The borrower, who is a cotton far
mer, applied for the maximum of
$600, but since his last year's crop
was not a complete failure, the ap
plication was cut. The loan "iears 5
per cent interest and will fall due
Nov. 30.
With 2000 applications aTreaely on
hand, requesting a total of some
$400,000, T. Weed Harvey, regional
elireetor, and John M. Palmer, dis
bursing agent at the Federal Far
mers' Seed Loan Offlee, are looking
ahead to a busy time. Plans have
been made to clear and writ' l"f0
to 2000 checks a day. Approximately
$10,000,000 has been set aside for
loans to farmers in the seven states
coniDrir-ing this area, al-cut or."
fourth of the federal appropriation.
Most of the applications have
come from Texas and Oklal. .
through various county seed loan ad
visory committees and county farm
agents. Thirty thousand sets of loan
blanks have been se r-t to these states
anii Missouri, Indiana. Illinois. Ken
tucky, and Kansas. The seed loan
office has an attorney tf pass on the
legality of applications, r.nd an exam
ining board consisting of represen
tatives of each of the seven states.
With the Government at work with
an eye to the future, the miet-westem
branch of the Red Cross, located at
St. Loui;;. is husy with immediate re
lief measures. Upward of 800.000
persons are receiving food, clothing
and Tftber supplies through local Red
Cross chapters throughout the Unit
ed States, according to Willis m M.
Taxter Jr.. manager of the mid-western
branch.
The grsvity of the situation is
brought cut by a comparison of the
number now being helped with the
total, 225,000. which was bring as
sisted Jan. 1. During the latter part
of January the number of persons
receiving help increased by 10.000 to
200.000 a day. Mr. Baxter said.
That the public appreciates the
destitute circumstances rf thousands
of southwestern fnmiiier, can be de
duced. Mr. Baxter said, from ih
repidity with which the National
Red Cross relief fund has mounted.
Praising the wcrk of 34.000 local
chapter volunteers, who are at Olf(
on relief committees, he said, their
efficient work has made it possible
to say with absolute confidence that
all food and clothing needs are be
ing cared for in accordance with Red
Cross standards.

James A. Rodman, (rep.) Omaha,
who prepared the Senate's request
for a ruling from Atorney General
Sorensen on the validity of Gover
nor Bryan's appointment of deputy
code department secretaries, today
issued the following statement con
cerning the governor's attitueie to
ward the Sorensen opinion referred
to the senate yesterday.
"I read with amazement the state
ment of the governor that neither
the courts r.or the legislature have
any authority to govern his appoint
ments, dismissals or the submitting
of names to the senate.
"It is revolting to one
spect for the law."
Senator Rodman said
having re
the gover-
nor's attitude was that of an official
"being picked on."
The appointment thus far rf three
deputies to code department posi
tions, Rodman held, was sufficient to
prevent the governor frcm asrumlng
the position that he had taken over
the management of those depart

-.-: remove-d late Sunday, yesterday
'afternoon and last night when the
airplane and the coast guard coir
hiucd to ra"e: . one of the most dra
matic rescues in the history of the
1 great lakes.
In addition to the 10 men still on
the ice with scant piovislons, two
i "ther members of the coast guard
had narrow escapes irlien their skiff
; was caught in churning ice Goes.
These two men were saved when
other coast guardsmen fhot them
rope and pulled their damaged craf
to eclid ice.
Captain Martin W. Rasmussen ex
pressed belief that the 10 men were
in no immediate danger, bu. took the
precaution ef dispatching a mortar
Ichbw to a new base off Pinchurst.
The fishermen for almost 36 hour
had faced freezing death by expos
uro, hunger or drowning on a drif i -ing
ice floe in the choppy, wind

m Five Miles Out.
The drifting fishermen were locat
ed by ihe plane five miles out fro:,
shore- and about IS miles souh f
Buffalo. All morning the plane had
searched in vain for sight of tli -stranded
men. Their floating island
of Ice was surrounded by a strip of
water a mile wide.
Then the pitiful crew was found.
The plane swept low over the ice
foe. dropping notes. Pipe poles in
eager hands spelled frantic words up
on the surface of the ice. The plan
turned and against swept low over
the floe. From it dropped a huge
;can, a parachute attached to it open
and the can, filled with steaming hot
: coffee, settleel near the men.
I The- plane sped back to the short
and all the fishermen settled dow
to wait through the long, cold hour
before all could be brought to saf -ty.
The rescue boat was forced t
struggle through two miles of Ice
; slush ami then across a mile and a
half cf open, choppy water to th-
floe cn which the men waited for
deliverance. Then the long struggl
back to shore.
Asked Food ad Charecal.
The fliers saw spoiled out. first.
' "east." then "help" and last, "char

In those three words the fliers read
a M rial story of the hours of anxi

without food. DarknesB settled and
the second chapter was written into
i their minds with the recurrin:;
