Underground Stream
Puzzle To Engineers
Los Angeles, (IP) A large under

of the Potrero shaft of the Colorado
river aqueduct project is proving
tough engineering nut to crack.
Two deep well turbine pumps have
been installed to pump the water
out at the -rote of 2400 gallons per
minute but the stream shows little
sign of drying up. Engineers are
planning to Install a third and larg.
er pump with a capacity of 2600 gal

RELIEF TO B ili
New York, Aug. 15 (IP) Lincoln
Ellsworth, famous explorer of the
polar regions, Is changing the plans
of his present -expedition to the
Antarctic to carry aid to the Little
America expedition of his old friend
Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, the
New York Sun said today.
A mild attack of dysentery among
the 86 men at the Byrd base in
the Antarctic led to the change in
plans, according to the newspaper,
and Ellsworth, Dr. Francis D. Co-
lmui of Johns Hopkins hospital and
Bernt Balchen, famous pilot, will
sail 'for Little America as 'soon as
possible.
Many troubles have plagued the
second Byrd expedition and at pres
ent tne leader is isolated 123 miles
south of the main base at a weather
depot where he spent many weeks
alone and where a relief party found
him. thin and ill, a few days ago,
Ellsworth's original plan was to
go to Deception Island on the op
posite side of the continent from
Little America and, later, to fly
over tlie west coast of the Weddell
sea and over uncharted regions to
the Ross sea, not far from the
Byrd base.
But while he was in Honolulu
from where he will sail with Mrs.
Ellsworth on Aug. 20 for New Zeal
and, the explorer was advised that
there was dysentery at Little Am
erica, the Sun said. While the at
tacks were confined to mild coses,
it was felt that the presence of
Dr. Coman would be desirable. He
spent more than a year at the Byrd
uase with the first expedition
As a result, Dr. Coman obfrdued
leave of absence and will sail from
Los Angeles on Aug. 22 to join he
Ellsworths at Honolulu.
Portland, Aug. 15 (IP) Another
well, with the highest flow yet re
ported, 2U gallons to the minute,
came In" Tuesday at Egypt, in
Harney county, after -drilling to a
depth of 289 feet, according to. the
state relief committee which Is do
ing this work in the drought areas
of Oregon under the SERA program
Approximately eight wells have
now been drilled and flowing from
10 to 20 gallons per minute. Reser
voirs are being constructed and
troughs are being built for the con
venience of the livestock on the
ranges of central Oregon. This last
well came In in the Ochoco forest In
the northwestern corner of the
county. Other wells have been drill
ed in Grant, Jefferson, Wheeler,
Lake and other counties.
The committee announced it had
allocated $50,000 to all counties of
the state on the basis of need, to be
used for the purchase of shoes and
clothing for school children of re
lief families. It also stipulated that
all wearing apparel under this SERA
program must be made from retail
merchants of the various cities and
towns in the counties where such
relief is found necessary.

STILL BASED ON
New York, Aug. 15 () i The world
money markets awake to the fact
this week that the American dollar
is still a cold dollar.
This was made clear -alx months
ago when the dollar was put on
an International gold bullion .stand
ard, at the rate of 16 6-21 grains
of the yellow metal per dollar.
In the excitement over the na
tionalization of silver, as a part of
the program to restore the value
and stability of that metal, there
was an inclination to forget the
gold behind the dollar.
Under an International gold bul
lion standard, gold is used only to
settle international balances which
are not automatically cancelled by
the exchange of goods and services
and extension of credit between na
tions, j
Last February, Secretary Morgen-
thau made it clear that under regu
lations governing the movements of
gold, banks and others desiring to
'ship It abroad at a time when the
dollar rates in terms of other cur
rencies made It profitable to do so,
would promptly be given permits to
effect tne transactions.
But at no time until this week
did the dollar go to such dis
count, and remain there long
enough to prompt gold shipments.
Tne dollar was at a premium above
its new parity most of the time,
and the movement of gold was to
ward the United States, rather tlian
away.
Yesterday, however, for the -first
time since the new gold basis was
set up early in the year, one of.
tne large New York banks -sought
to export $1,000,000 in gold. In set
tlement of foreign exchange tri. US-
actions, and was at once granted
permission.
At last, bear speculators in the
dollar in Paris and elsewhere nad
concrete evidence that gold would
be shipped, or In other words, that
the gold value of the dollar would
be automatically supported by ac
tual metal whenever it fell to I
discount of close to one per cent.
With approximately one-third of
the world's monetary gold jusply
in this country, it became appar
ent that the dollar was unassail
able. GEON TO SEEK
DEATH FO
San Francisco, Aug. 16 (IP) Tlie

L
BUS CHARGES
A deadlock over -the amount to
be charged students from the non-
high school districts who usually
attend Salem schools apparently
has been reached. Notice of the
refusal of the non-high school dis
trict directors to accept a contract
tendered by the local board which
contained an Item for depreciation.
was received Tuesday night. Since
the notice of the refusal to sign
the contract had not been officially
received, the board took no action.
It is likely, however, the directors
will .stand pat on their proposal
since they have been assured by
legal authorities that the item of
depreciation is a far charge,
Wth the opening of school set
for September 17, action looking
toward the clearing up of the situ
ation must be started soon, It is
said. Shutting off of the more than
'400 -students from the rural dis
tricts of the county would mean
a loss of revenue to tlie district in
excess of '$40,000 -and an excess in
the number of teachers.
One of -two of the smaller dls
trlcts have signed contracts '"id
ored by the non-high school dis
trict directors which do not in
clude the depreciation charge. How
ever, Silverton, one of the larger
districts, has refused to sign the

SEATfLlMAYOR
BECALL TARGET
Seattle, Aug. 15 (Jty-Another
cnapter in the brief but turbulent
administration of Mayor Charles
L. Smith of Beattle was in the
making today, with petitions on file
asking his recall after he had serv
ed but 72 days of the regular two-
year term as the city's chief execu
tive.
The recall movement, branded bv
Duma as rue work ot radical lead
rs, was an outgrowth of the coast
wide longshoremen's -strike, now bo
lng arbitrated. The strike was less
than a month old when Smith took
office after winning a bitter elec
tion contest with his immediate'
predecessor in office, John F. Dore.
There had been some strife on
the waterfront before Smith's in
auguration, followed by a period of
stagnation, so 'far as boat "move
ments were concerned. Then a
temporary truce was effected where
by union longshoremen agreed to
work Alaska ships, a truce which
was Masted a few -days later when
Mayor Smith declared his intent
tlon of sending police to the water
front to guard non-union replace
ment workers in an effort to "cpen
up the .port."
Late yesterday Kenneth T. Gap
linger, who appeared as the repre
sentative of the Seattle Law and
Order league," filed petitions with
the city comptroller which he said
contained -the names of 21,000 vot
ers, tne first of other lists he pro
posed to file later, which he said
would bring the total signatures to
45,000. It requires 27,164 to launch
a recall election in this city, or
25 per cent of the votes cast for
the office at the last election.

Washington. Aug. 15 The bu
reau of biological survey .recom
mended to Secretary of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace today a plan for
eliminating abuses of waterfowl
baiting. It was oronosed that the
plan be Incorporated in hunting re-,
gulattons.
The survey recommended that
waterfowl not be shot or -otherwise'
taken on baited c-remises except un-.
der seasonal permits Issued free by
its cnici, jay n. Darling, permits
would be Issued In the name of per
sons or clubs occupying the baited
premises. Many times clubs or lndl
iduals put out food to attract ducks.
That is called baiting.
rue permits would be Issued "onlv
oiter investigation shows that bait
ing will effectively supplement lo
cal natural food supplies that are
deficient or will serve to concentrate
tne birds under conditions conducive
to safeguarding them from greater
destruction."
Officials said Issuance of nermits
also would be limited to cases where
it appears that balling will result in
more nearly equalizing hunting pri
vileges. The proposed rule further nrovld.
ed that shooting of waterfowl on
baited land be prohibited after 3 p.
m., dally and that no birds be shot
while resting on water or land on
any premises where baiting is em
ployed. BUREAU NOTIFIES
