Charter members of the Roosevelt "roll of honor" In the striving to better the times by boosting buying power enrolled in legions today by telegrams to the White House. Preparing to take stock of his program's progress at a meeting ?with the "recovery council,"] President Roosevelt was describ ed as highly pleased with the more than 6,000 pledges of sup port received before the day waB half done. Post "Honor" Rolls The post office department made ready to post the "honor"! rolls In its branches in every city and hamlet, so members of the community might know those employers who heeded the call that the President made last night to raise wages and restrict working hours. Members o f the cabinet and ad minlBtrators of the major laws en acted since March, who comprise the "recovery council," gathered reams of material tor review at the afternoon session in the exe cutive offices. Whether the con sensus taken will lead to any shifts of tack remains to be seen. Hugh S. Johnson, administra tor of the Industrial law, and his aides proceeded with taking of testimony on the proposed cpdes to govern the oil, lumber, rayon weaving and wool industries. In fact, the hearings on 'the last named were concluded today. The Thomas A. Edison indus tries and all affiliated companies told the President: "Heartily sub scribe to yonr suggested blanket cede and will sign formal agree ment." To Send Copies - Arrangements to dispatch cop i ies of the federally-devised "gen eral code" to MVO.OOO employers as rapidly as possible proceeded apace In a number of quarters. Not the least of these was the government printing office having the gigantic task of addressing the agreements. Qovernmeat trucks scurried through the business sections of the city borrowing every electric envelope addreulng machine available. The set-up at the huge printing place resembled war-time activity. Ralph T. Zook, president of the Pennsylvania Orade Crude Oil as sociation, appealed to Adminis trator Johnson to. write Into any petroleum trade practice plan a protection for the "stripper wells," which are wella on the pump draining the last bit from a field. Zook testinea at a nearing on proposed principle* of competition to govern the oil lnduitry. Authorisation for federal fixa tion of oil prices was Indorsed there by a groap of independent distributor*. The wtool hearings were wound up with a promise of speedy de cision by Deputy Administrator A. D. Whiteside. An important amendment offer ed by the manufacturers provides that no employee would receive a smaller wage under the propos ed 49- hour week than he had been receiving (or a longer week. Meeting with his "recovery council," composed of the cabi net and chlaftalns of various Im portant divisions of the adminis tration, Mr. Roosevelt called for a full report of progress during the last week. Hugh Johnson was on hand with a packed brlet case. Kltrhlr Hndi Message Among the thousands of mes sages reaching the White House (Continued on page four) 1 NR. KARL K. |! ALLEN DEAD Ur. Karl K.

Gen eral Italo Balbo's Italian air ar mada Btarted the third leg of their homeward journey this morning, the first of the 24 planes taking off from the waters of Shediac Bay at 7:40 a. m. E. S. T. The plane, piloted by General Balbo, circled the bay, waiting for the other ships to take to the air. The destination of the ar mada was Shoal Harbor, New foundland. Fifteen minutes after General Balbo's take-off fifteen of the large flying boats were in the air. The other nine were taxylng into position in -the bay. AU In Air At s:ui a. m. E. s. T., tne en tire armada was in the air for the hop to Shoal Harbor. Before he boarded His plane General Balbo said it was un likely that the armada would leave Shoal Harbor tomorrow, as weather reports Indicated flying conditions on the other side of the Atlantic were unfavorable. He expected to complete the 500-mile leg to the Newfound land ports of call In fire hours or a little less. Hundreds Ware Adieu As the great planee headed to ward the northwest hundreds of spectators on the shore waved farewell. Only two weeks ago these same people welcomed the Italians when they stopped en route to the Cbleago fix position . Just before he left Shedlac Balbo told members of his ground crew that he was undecided whether to attempt a non-stop flight over the Atlantic to Ireland from Shoal Harbor, or to bear to the South over the Azores route.

High-light* of I'mident Roosevelt's statement to the nation tonight follow: ?? ? ? * All the proposals and all the legislation since the fourth of March have not been just a collection of haphazard schemes, hot rather the orderly component parts of a connected and logical whole." , "The taaanrdlate task was to bring our regular expenses within our jtovrnaes. This has been done." "I have said that we caanot obtain that (lasting prosperity) In ? nr*Vrr r nil half hnrtrr " ***** It is obvious that without united action (in' indus try) a few (elfish men in each competitive group will pay star vation wages and insist on long hours of work. Others In that group must either follow suit or close up shop. We have seen the result of action of that kind in the continuous descent into the economic hell of the past four years." "If all employers In each competitive group agree to pay their workers the same wages ? reasonable wages ? and require the same hours ? reasonable hours ? then higher wages and shorter hours will hurt no employer." "In the cotton textile code and in other agreements already signed child labor has been abolished. That makes me person ally happier than any other one thing with which I have been connected slace I came to Washington." "The moment the recovery act was passed, this monstrous thing (child labor) which neither opinion nor law could reach through years of effort went out in a flash." "We are not going through another winter like the last. I doubt if ever any people so bravely and cheerfully endured a season half so bitter." "If any considerable group should lag or shirk, this great opportunity will pass us by and we will go into another desper ata winter. This must not happen." "The blanket agreements which I am sending to every em ployer will atart the wheels turning now and not 'Six months from now." "There an adequate penalties in the law, but I am now asking the co-operation that comes from opinion and conscience. These are the only instruments we shall use In this great sum mer offensive against employment. But we shall use them to the limit to protect the willing from the laggard and to make the plan saeceed." " ? ? ? The richest fields for results is among the small employers, those whose contribution will be to give new work to from one to 10 people. ? ? ? The success of the plan lies "To the asen and women whose lives have been darkened by the fact or fear of unemrjoyment, I am justified in saying a word of encouragement, because the codes and the agreements already approved or about to be passed upon, prove that the plan does raise wages and that it does pat people back to wort." "While we are making this great common effort there should be no discord and dispute." "I cannot guarantee the success of this nation-wide plan, but the people of this country can guarantee its success." Union Picnic The Annual Union Picnic o( the three churches of Loulsburg will take place Friday afternoon at the Kiwanis Park. Everyone 'la asked to bring his lunch which will be spread together at 6 o'clock by a committee. There will be no special meetings at the various churches before going to the Park.

Bennett Field, New ; York, July 23. ? -Wiley Post came i streaking home to a tumultous : welcome tonight with two globe girdling records riding with him. i He circled over Floyd Bennett i airport and then set his plane i down to become the first man i who ever flew around the world l alone, and the man who has made .the circuit in the shortest time by any mode of transport. Post landed at 11:59 P. M? EDS, or 10:59 EST.' Post left Floyd Bennett at 4:10 A. M., EST, last Saturday, TBTy, 15, and when his wheels touched ground to the cheers of a great throng he had been gone just 186 hours, 49 minutes, or seven days, 18 hours and 49 minutes. He and Harold Gatty, who was waiting to greet him tonight, made the trip together two years ago in 207 hours, 15 minutes and 51 seconds. They had the same plane, ttife Winnie Mae, but on this flight It had a new motor and was equipped with an imprewive array of scientific devices, the chief of them a robot pilot to keep the plane on a steady course without the pilot's aid. Post had averaged better than 150 miles an hour on the last 2, 000 mile hop of hi* flight from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He left there at 10:41 A. M., and cut down through Alberta and Saskat chewan to strike the United States above Minnesota. He sped over the Great Lakes ? mere ponds after his feat in spanning twice both the Atlantic and the northern Pacific oceans ? and was sighted over Michigan. He veer ed back into Canada above To ronto, and then swept in k bee line down through New York state and over a corner of Penn sylvania to Floyd Bennett. Trace Lost ?, , < On the last stage of the journey he passed no large cities, and trace of him was lost. Thus he swooped over the field without warning, just as the landing lights were turned on in prepara tion, and then came down from the easterly end. He landed In a hollow square forced by police which held back a frenzied, cheering crowd esti mated by police officials at more than 40,000. The Winnie Mae taxied gently up to the Adminis tration building, and a little past, as cameramen on the roof caught hasty snaps at the slowing plane. SeVeral hundred persons In the crowd pushed through the police lines, but were hastily dragged back away from the plane. Form Solid Line Police pushed the plane back Just In front ot the administra tion building, where more police formed a solid line round it. Lee' Trenholm, Posts, manager, clung to the side ot the plane. The crowd kept swaying Into the po lice cordons, pushing them In to ward the plane, and mounted po lice were called to the aid of the meu on foot to maintain control. Post stayed Inside the cockpit, waving greetings to the crowd, until an automobile with police crowding Its running boards drove alongside the plane. The crowd was determined to show by personal contact. If pos sible, Its enthusiasm for the one eyed Oklahoman whose flight not only was an amazing feat of avia tion, but'was ae well a startling example of endurance and stamln. He had caught sleep only In brief snatches since his departure last Saturday, and he had under gone a gruelling ordeal. But he was smiling at the finish. - - ? J. P. B.
