He explained this date, a reasonable time distant, would be followed by orders lor hearings at dates set by him for such industries as did not come forward within the specified time. He would not discuss extensively the question of calling on industry to establish general minimum wages and maximum hours at set levels, such as were suggested in his advisory committees for labor, industry and consumers.

The committee had been described as in agreement on 35 hours and a $14 a week minimum for unskilled labor and 40 hours with $15 minimum for all whitecol-lar workers, but Johnson said this was one of many, plans, all 1n a "half-naked" stage. He pointed out that under the recovery law neither he nor the President had authority to promulgate such limits wholesale but must first call in each industry for hearings, therefore, the whole affair would become voluntary with business. Also, he contended, if industries were bringing in agreements fast enough to keep his organization busy examining them, it would not be desirable to anticipate their efforts. Johnson said there had been much unfortunate conjecture about "lagging" on the part of industry, that generally speaking he could not put his finger on deliberate delay but wanted to hurry things because "I don't like to sit here twiddling my thumbs." He said he had seen statements "amounting to progaganda" emanating from business quarters urging industries not to submit codes. Says 48 Hours Too Long.

Johnson was terse about disapproving the lumber wages and hours: "Forty-eight hours is so long I wouldn't even consider it. These people can make a case if they can make a case. Generally speaking, 22', -i cents is far below what I ic-gard as a minimum wage." The lumber industry's terms were set on a regional basis and divided according to types of products, with hours ranging down to 40 and maximum and minimum wages running as high as 42 Vi cents an hour. But a preponderant slice of the industry was put on the unacceptable 48 and 22 Vt basis. As for prescribing general minimum wages, Johnson said he was more inclined to state to each industry what was expected of it.

Where possible, he said, economists of the Administration would suggest wages and hours which would take a particular industry back to its employee purchasing power of a reasonable year 1929 or 1926 or whichever appeared proper. In some cases, other terms would have to be evolved, he said, because- the Industries have been too hard hit by depression to recover an average level. Originally, he said, he had op Ohio Killing Held Mishap, Holmes Free Winsted Youth's Story That Woman Was Accidentally Shot in Scuffle Accepted by Authorities Springfield, Ohio, July 11. (Special.) Theodore Holmes, 20, of Winsted, was freed today In the investigation of the killing of Mrs. Nora Coffey, 24, of Springfield who Holmes says was shot in a scuftle over a gun May 11 while he and the Springfield woman were fitting in a parked automobile.

He left for Winsted with his lawyer, Attorney A. T. Steele. The aeronautics student's case with authorities of Greene arid Ciark counties still at odds over the question of jurisdiction, hanging on the location of the shooting. But authorities of both counties in statements asserted there was no evidence to convict Holmes of any criminal charge.

Holmes and Attornev A. T. Steele, former prosecutor, are ex-pectetl to arrive here Wednesday morninir. pretty hot for that arena boss when I broke up the scrap. It wasn an easy scrap to stop, either.

Only the fact that I intervened early made it possible for me to separate the combatants. Had the fight been under way a few minutes longer, before I stepped up with my chair and blank cartridge gun to establish peace, my efforts would have been unavailing. It would have been necessary at least to resort to a bottle of ammonia. Magnificent-looking animals and thrilling performers. Sascha and Beauty lend color to my act, but they keep me on my toes every second of the time they are in the arena with me.

It is never possible for me to lose sight of one of the duo while I am putting the other through his paces. I made this important discovery one day by turning my back on Sascha while I worked with Beauty. Beauty was not concentrating, so I crakced my whip hard to get his attention. Sascha evidently thought I was displaying too much vehemence. At any rate, he decided to attack.

Charging from behind, he would have knocked me over if it had not been for another one of those timely warnings from a cage boy outside. As I side-stepped, Sascha catapulted past' me with enough force to knock over a dozen ani mal-trainers. Still determined, he swung around and came for me. Beauty joining him in the assault. I kept them off me, but they forced me back, back, back.

Soon I was al most flush against the bars of the arena and once again the prods of alert attendants enable me to es cape without a clawing. Beauty succeeded in reaching my right thigh, but accomplished nothing more serious than the ripping of my trousers. He left a minor trademark in the form of a few scratches that are hardly w-orthy of mention. They would have been more than scratches, however, if my boys had not been cn the alert, and if the two lions had not permitted them selves to be bluffed by the prods. These long poles are absolutely worthless when a team like Sascha and Beauty attack in earnest.

But animals can be fooled and my clannish pair took the poles seriously this time and let me reach the safety-cage. On the whole, Nero, the arena boss, is the most sporting animal I've known; also the most philosophic. Time and again, over a period of years, some young lion, some gawky and ill-advised punk, tries to pick a quarrel with him. With very few exceptions, these youngsters would not have lasted five minutes in. a fight with Nero.

Yet in almost every case the arena boss has confined his resistance to trotting away and ignoring his foolish attacker. When the foolhardy punk gets too fresh. Nero finds it necessary to send him reeling with a clout of the paw. but his usual practice is to turn his back contemptuously on these small fry. He doesn't believe in fighting unless the challenge is a real one.

The childish attacks of arena freshmen are seldom dignified by any atieiition from this old stalwart. When he does shake off an ambitious punk, he sends him spinning mechanical operation, effortlessly performed. And when the offender goes over on his back or bangs against a pedestal or the arena bars. Nero doesn't trouble to follow up his advantage. He just can be Dotn-ered.

These punks have to be kept in their places, but they mustn't receive too much attention even the rough kind or they'll develop swelled heads. A thirty-two foot arena is none too big for forty lions and tigers, and if some of 'em get swollen craniums there'll be less room than ever. I freely and frankly confess that I get a great kick out of hearing from the people who see my act. It has become fashionable in recent years to adopt a blase attitude toward fan mail. Perhaps I am simply naive, but it is a faet-that I never cease to wonder, what tomorrow's mail will bring forth in the way of comment from those who have seen me perform in their town.

Nothing could be more varied than the letters I receive. Praise and criticism; advice, good ana bad; requests of all kinds these predominate. The letcrs are seldom dull.

Mattern's Own StoryOf Crash (Continued from Page 1.) with a sickening crash. The propeller was twisted in crazy fashion The right wing was cracked up. The fuselage and motor were damaged. And I got that smashed ankle and nice collection of burns. Well, there I was, the Lord knew how far from anywhere.

Lost, good and plenty. Bunged up, not any too cheerful. But I was alive. I had a little chocolate and a few biscuits. And, the Soviet flyers at Kharbar-ovsk had given me a rifle.

I had fishing tackle, too. Things looked pretty grim, but I knew I must get through some way. I had come down in a hilly spot which I knew couldn be along way from the Anadyr River. I was about 60 miles from the village of Anadyr, as I figured it. There wasn't any sign of a human being or a human habitation.

And wasn't it cold knew that if people ever did travel that way they would have to use the river. That was the best place for me to pitch camp if I was to be seen and gotten out of that mess. So, pretty painfully, I dragged along in the direction where I knew the river lay. It was mighty tough country and mighty tough going. Finally, after plugging along forever and ever, I reached the river.

After three days my little supply of food had given out. I built myself a hut for pro'ec-tion against the freezing cold. Then I thought that if I could get out on an island in the middle of the river, I would be feen more easily by any boat that happened along, if one ever did happen along. So I built myself a raft, somehow-, and drifted out to the island. There I pitched camp directly opposite my first stamping ground.

On June 28 two rowboals full of Eskimos came down the river, headed for the Anadyr market with winter furs. And they stopoed at the very place where I had made my first camp. I was frantic to get their attention. I set almost the whole darn island on fire to make them see me. And at last they did.

When they got to me, with my busted ankle and my burns, I must have been a mean sight, I guess my ribs stuck out. I had been 14 days with scarcely any food to speak of. I had been lying on the cold ground. I had been wet for two weeks. I certainly was a swell esse of starvation and exposure.

These Eskimos were good guys. They put me in a boat and rowed me to a camp of theirs, a little tent camp. It took two days to get there. lilr- "iaue a luniiy sun ui uea, Th iri dogsled with caribou hide and bear skins for covers. And they doctored me for a week.

fed me dried fish until I was strong enough to be dumped aboard a rowboat for a two-day trip to Anadyr. Here I got the best of care, and I began to pick up. I had a slight attack of grip, but nothing serious, and my ankle has begun to round into shape. Of course, the first thing I thought about when I was able to think at all was how I was to get into the air again. I began to pull wires to have a plane flown out from Alaska for me, so I could take it and resume my flight.

The Soviet 1111, (441 Co. crowa are doing their utmost to help me. Seaplanes are coming from Petropavlovsk. If I could get a sea- plane up here from Nome I could fulfill my wish and complete mv trip. This region is impossible for a ysic landinc with a land plane.

My poor old Lockheed is a wreck. However, we've saved the motor I hat Eskimo rescue boat, was thp only one to cet near the scene of i my crash I'll be home some way. soon. And I'm a fortunate fellow'to be alive. It as if all Russia is as glad about that as I am.

jT.j" XX I I TlT lll'l WBin riTIOII aiMIIIIMIIIllliW frl llffIT I Chapter XXVII Jennie didn't lose much time convincing me that I had made a mistake Another ieer took her seat. i leaving the one next it unoccupied. frequently an animai jeaua up mc npdestal. but a situation Of this kind rarely makes trouble for me. The displaced an.mal ninety-nine times out of a hundred, mounts the nearest unoccupied pedestal.

I tried to drive Jennie up on the feat next to hers; but ihe would have none of it. She just stuck around at the foot of her occupied seat, looking up every few seconds in complete bewilderment at its occupant. It's hard to go on with animal act when one of your charges is not functioning. I decided to drive the occupant off Jennie's seat an alert, intelligent animal to the unoccupied pedestal that the stupid Jenny refused to mount. Rpfore I could Dut mv plan into effect, the prize boob of my act got a plan of her own under way.

witn-out warning she mt.de a leap upward toward the top of her rightful pedestal! It was not the leap of an attacking animal. Plainly, she was jumping up with the idea of sharing the nedestal with its occupant. As Jenny soared upward, the said" occupant, understandably interpreting the leap as an attack, hauled off and clawed away at Jennie's face as she reached the level of the seat. That was the beginning of a bitter fight which it wasn't easy to break up. I decided that day to do no more experimenting with Jennie.

I took her out of the act and kept her out. Nervousness is generally characteristic of the great cats, especially the females. The most nervous animal I've ever handled was Nellie, a lioness. When I first started training her she developed a habit of whirling roui.d and round excitedly before I could pedestal her. At the height of her dizzy revolutions, she looked like a new kind of whirling dervish.

When I found I cculdn't break her of this habit. I determined to capitalize it. With the band playing fast music while she swung around the arena, she became the 'whirling lioness." The stunt was extremely popular and I did not drop it until my act became so big and there were so many lions and tigers in it that there was insufficient floor space left for nervous Nellie's performance. Thus ended the career of the "whirling lioness." Another extremely -lervous tnimal was Alice, a lioness who made a practice of racing round and round the arena. She would do a marathon and exhaust herself before I could get her up on a pedestal.

This happened over and over again in training and I began to despair of making a performer out of her. But as you know by now, I don't like to admit defeat before I ve put up a struggle. Having already expended considerable time and effort on Alice. I felt iustified in taking another fling, to see if something couldnt be done with her. I soon began to wonder if I didn't possess the misguided optimism my friends sometimes accuse me of.

For. when I succeeded in interrupting Alice's marathon, what I managed to accomplish was not what I would write down as progress. On one of these unhappy occasions. Alice suddenly halted and made a meaningless leap over the head of an animal occupying a floor seat. It was one of those "almost" jumps, a good leap but not good enough.

Alice's hind quarters struck the occupant of the seat just hard enough to send the beast on the pedestal toppling to the floor of the arena. I continued my efforts to make a performer of Alice, but I finally had to abandon them. When she wasn't running marathons around the arena, she was doing a lot of meaningless high-jumping. Regretfully, I came the conclusion that she would not do. And I do not carelesslv use the word "regretfully." I reallv believe that among the nervous animals I have handled there were, potentially, some of the world's greatest cat performers.

But circus schedules have a fixed finali-tv about them, and an animal-trainer hasn't the time to conduct all the experiments he'd like to. I have a theory that nervousness and sensitiveness are definitely rallied traits in animals; and I have another theory that a certain kind of sensitiveness in the four-legged world is a clear indication of arena genius. Some day I am going to prove it. This will be when I can spend weeks and weeks probing the idiosyncracies of certain specimens without worrying about how the costs are piling up. In other words, this will happen when I make a lot of monev and can do as I please.

Our bid friends. Sascha and Beauty, two big lions, are the most clannish graduates of my school for jungle cats. About five years ago. when the Sells Floto Circus abandoned its animal acts, I took over its lions and tigers, including this pair. I received many warnings concerning them, especially' about Beautv, who had almost killed John Helliott, well-known Sells Floto trainer.

The warnings regarding Beauty were anything but unwarranted. I found him a constant menace. Positively rebellious about doing anything but fight, with or without justification, all the other cats in sight, he became an arena nuisance. His brother Sascha was almost as bad a trouble-maker. And the real problem was that each, without any loss of time, rushed to the other's defense.

Neither of these lions had anything to do with any of the other animals in my act except to war on them. And when the clawing and biting started, they fought side bv side, like demons. Any beast in the act that developed a feud with 1 one of them had to fight both of them. This clannish pair even went so far one day as to gang up against Nero.

Even though the lumber code as drawn was not entirely acceptable, John D. Tennant, chairman of the industry's emergency national committee, told the administration that on the basis of expected August production it would increase lumber payrolls $10 000,000 that month. There were indications, however, that it would not result in immediate reemployment of many men now idle and at present the industry is far below the 750,000 normal employment. The code was approved by 26 associations representing 85 per cent of the forest industries and also subscribed to by both wholesale and retail lumber dealers' associations. Lumber Subdivisions.
