L. Gowdoin, com mader of a salvage expedition, ' wirelessed from his tug Salvor, last night that divers had remov- ; ed the vessel’s safe, believed to contain the crown jewels of the fallen Emperor Maxmillian of I Mexico. | Captain Bowdin’s crew had not opened the safe, but its contents were said to be worth almost $1» 000,000. It was recovered from the pur ser’s office which adjoins a room containing more than $4,000,000 in possessions of the fleeing Mad cro rcvlntionaries who stormed Juarez Cruz in 1911. While a dark fog swept the At lantic in 1911, the Merida went down off Cape ( harlcs after a collision with the l nitty! fruit! ! liner Admiral Farragut. j Aboard were the 200 revolu-1 ' tionaries, and their treasure of • silver bars, gold nuggets, emer-1 1 aids and rubies was in the liner’s , hull. The revolutionaries were ' rescued, but for 22 years the j choppy Atlantic has held the treasure through five salvage at tempts. “Operations will continue,” said a coded message from Captain Bowdoin whose plans for the mari 1 time treasure hunt were formu lated 10 years ago. Removal of the safe marked the veteran sea i captain’s first grasp at success. I Foreign Trade Shows Increase; Balance Is Of! WASHINGTON. July 22 (UP) —Americas foreign trade in June reached the highest level since November, Department of Commerce figures showed today. The United States, however, suffered an adverse trade balance for the first time in many months. Exports amounted to i SI 19.900,000 and imports *122, 1 000,000. Bv RAYMOND CLAPPER United Pre»» Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1933, United Press) WASHINGTON. July 22. (UP) —It may be put down authorita tively that General Hugh S. John* son has no future political ambi tions. That is not believed by many persons, especially by the poli ticians who fix the pace of gos sip in Washington. They have set their whispers afoot. Stories are being spread. Some of them are going to Presi dent Roosevelt. They became more insistent as tho general prepared a blanket voluntary ap peal to every employer in the country and to every housewife to join in making the national re covery act effective. The whis pers recall that this is the way Herbert Hoover started toward the White House. Superficially the story is the same. Every newspaper tells about the man Johnson just as in war time every newspaper told about Hoover. Columns arc being writ ten describing how General John son looks, what he says, his hob bies. His pat lines, such as his prediction that before he gets through he will have so many enemies that “the air will be full of dead cats,” are snapped up and widely quoted. It was that way with Food Administrator Hoover. He was not such a spicy and fascinating personality as Johnson but his very position kept the spotlight on him as an indiviual. Then there is the same sort ot direct contact with the individual citizens. Just as Hoover reach ed out to every housewife, so Johnson is about to reach out un der his blanket code drive to al most every person. If he suc ceeds he will be the man who got people back to work, raised their pay, who saved the country from ruin. His activities draw more news paper space than those of I’ersi dent Roosevelt at the moment. That alone is enough to cause knives to be sharpened for him among the suspiciously minded. Yet President Roosevelt and [those who know Johnson intima tely, know that a political career j is further from his thought, lhat j is where he differs from Hoo I ver. Just when the presidential [bee bit Hoover is not generally [known. But it was early. Long i before the 1920 presidential i campaign opened he was setting ! up his organization. He kvf)t at ! it for ten years and finally j reached the White House. Johnson has not encouraged ! the personal publicity which de ' veloped around Hoover in the I early days. Food administrator [ literature bore the Hoover fac Isimile. His picture were plaster jed over the country. Johnson’s 'name rarely appears in NRA (Continued on page three) TRAFFIC TIED UP BY WRECK on southern; Passenger Train Hits Tree Near Melrose—Two Men Slightly Hurt Traffic on the Southern Rail way was tied up for several hours today when train No. 1>, passen ger train between Asheville and Spartanburg, struck a tree that had fallen across the track and the engine and two coaches were derailed.

Will Spend $25,000,. 000 To Transfer Miners To Farms WASHINGTON, July 22.— fUP)—President Roosevelt to day planned a week-end cruise down the Potomac, during which time he expected to draft th« text of what advisors say will be one of the most im portant public pronouncements he has made since entering the White House. WASHINGTON, July 22 (UP) —President Roosevelt today or dered Secretary of the Interior of the Interior Ickes to under take the expenditure of $25,000, 000 in a transfer of miners from overpopulated industrial areas to subsistence farms which they may find a new means of livelihood. The executive order inaugurat ing the' administration’s back-to the-soil movement was accompan ied by another setting aside $20,000,000 for the purchase of forest lands in furtherance of national recovery. The president’s back-to-the-soil movement involves a redistribu tion of population unprecented in the United States. It is design ed primarily to relieve the idle whose chances of reemployment in their chosen work are unlikely. Coal miners are the most num erous of these groups. It is es timated that nearly 200,000 idle miVierr. nevei again will have the opportunity of full time employ ment. The problem is implicat ed by the reluctance of the min ers to abandon their vocation even after years of unemploy ment. OREGON REPEAL VOTE STANDS 80.098 FOR, 52,984 AGAINST PORTLAND.

STOKES United Prets Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 22. (UP) Returns today indicated over whelming acceptance by Ameri can industry of President Roose velt’s bold plan ’to lift buying power through an universal agree ment on higher wages and shorter hours. The president’s gratification at the co-operative spirit shown by industry was expressed at the White House. Telegraph boys tumbled over one another bearing messages of approval to the of fice of General Hugh S. Johnson, national recovery administrator. Telegrams came at the rate of six a minute. Johnson said today there is a possibility of putting 6,000,000 people back to work through the recovery program. Because of the magnitude of his task, he explained he would have to leave largely to industry the classification of labor under the voluntary agreement scheme. “When I have a squawk I’ll handle it,” he said. Among large business and in dustrial concerns which advised Johnson of their hearty co-opera tion were Sears, Roebuck & Co., U. S. Independent Telephone As sociation, Northwestern Iron and Metal Co., Florsheim Shoe, Allied Association of Motion Picture Producers and Exhibitors, and To peka, Kans., food dealers. The Atlantic & Pacific chain of 15,000 stores previously haa pledged their support. ^resident Kooseveit win aeuver a message to the country between 9:30 and 10 p. m. next Monday, to start off a great patriotic cam paign in which every civic, social and welfare organization has been enlisted. Johnson, emphasizing to day that every employer is includ ed, marshalled industrial and busi ness forces through telegrams to presidents of chambers of com merce in every city of over 10,000 in the country. He asked them to rally all organizations in their ter ritory. The crusading Governor Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania was among the first to offer his serv ices. An experienced campaigner, he announced his readiness for a personal appeal to the industries which make his state a bee-hive of activity. Simultaneously from Piltsbujgh came announcement of a 16 pm’ cent salary increase for “white collar” workers of the Carnegie Steel company, retroactive to July 16, and benefiting more than 1. 000 employes. This was regarded as the beginning of a movement which would spread to other sub sidiaries of the United Stales Steel Corporation and to other great industries. President Roosevelt, recovered from a slight indisposition and looking fit and well, smiled broad ly at these evidences that the great march had begun. He signed an executive order blanketing the textile finishing and underwear industries under the cotton textile code already ap proved, another advance. The tex tile finishing industry fixed its minimum wages at $13 in the South and $14 in the North, one dollar higher than the cotton tex tile scale. President Roosevelt is very op timistic over reports he has re ceived showing remarkable co-op eration by industry in his recov ery program. Without a single exception, it was said, industry is (Continued on page three) THCH GUESSES HEwpowe "The Last of . the Mohicans* Name him.
