BRIDGETON. N. J— (AP) —
America’s first stratosphere bal-
Joon jolted to rest in the marsh
Jand southwest of Bridgeton at
5:50 p. m. Monday.
As hundreds of persons searched
the pine woods, cranberry bogs
and cultivated farms in southern
New Jersey, Lieutenant Comman
der T. G. W. “Tex” BSettle'and
his aide, Major Chester L. Ford
ney, slept the night through
wrapped up in the deflated fabric
of their big balloon, awaiting day
break.
At 8:44 a. m., Major ¥ordney
rudged through the marsh lands,
walking until 9:30 a, ‘'m., when he
veached the farm house of S. M.
Johnson, nine miles southwest of
Bridgeton,
Starties Farmer :
“'m hungry and I like -to use
the telephone,” announced Fordney
to the startled farmer. Then he
took up the telephone and notified
the world of tHWe balloonist’s tri
umph.
“We had a delightful and unto
ward trip,” Major Fordney said,
“except that; we came down so
fast we had to throw things over
hoard as fast as we could to light
en ship.
“Although it was a pretty rapid
landing, neither of us was hurt.
We took our bearings, saw we
were in marshy ground, surround
ed by woods and that it would be
best just_to put up for the might.
So we got out of the gondola,
wrapped up in the balloon and
slept for the night.
“Leaving ‘Tex’ to stand watch
over the balloon, I sgtruck out for
civilization at 8:44.”
Uncertain of Time
At this point Major Fordney
showed he was still uncertain of
the time by saying he reached the
farm house at 9 a. m. A by-stand
er corrected him, and he said:
“Oh, no, 1 guess it wasn't 9 o’clock.
It was 9:80.”
As he talked the major was
helping himself- to a breakfast of
fried ham, potatoes and black cof

CODE MODIFICATION
SEEN BY HARRINIAN
President of Chamber of
- Commerce Praises NRA,
But Expects Changes
ATLANTA, Ga.— (AP) — Hope
that conditions which caused en
actment of the agricultural adjust
ment and national recovery acts
will shortly be remedied so they
may no longer he needed in “their
present drastic form” was ex
pressed here by, Henry I. Harri
man, president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
In. a speech Monday night before
the southeastern division of the
organiziation he heads, he said he
felt the time had come for “offer
ing constructive criticism where
such action seems desirbale” and
review achievements and needs
under the recovery program,
“It is inconceivable,” he said,
“that these two important meas
ures should ever be ‘entirely aban
doied, for self-preservation de
mands that an orderly economic
life repldée the chaotic business
and industrial cdnditions of the
last five years. But while I can
not think that these two acts will
ever be repealed, I do believe that
experience Pass shown and will
show many ways in which they
should be amended and their oper
ation improved '‘and simplified.”
He said he felt that “the coer
cive attitude of the government
has alienated support for the in
dustrial recovery act and the time
has come whey there may well be
a change in this policy of compul
sion and the adoption of the more
orderly process of voluntary pre
sentation of codes.”’
income ' Increased
Citing achievements of the agri
cultural adjustment act, Harriman
said, “it is conservatively esti
mated that the increased income
of the framers of the country will
this year be at least two billion
dollars in excess of their five bil
lion dollar income in 1932.”
Of industrial recovery, he said
that best estimates showed a drop
in unemployed from :more than
12,000,000 in March to 8,000,000 at
present. Carloadings, he said, in
creased 20 percent between spring
and fall over and normal seasonal
rise and retail sales advanced 25
percent over seasonal improve
ment while the market value of
bonds listed on the New York ex
change rose from thirty billions in
March to thirty-four and a half
billions in October.
Under criticism of the NIRA, he
listed failure to recognize differen
ces between the cost of a given
standard of living in a small com
munity as compared with thosé in
a large one and said this was
worlfing a hardship on small town
industries. He mentioned delay
and uncertianty in handling codes
as another trouble but said this
was being rectified. -
Athenians Use Plenty Water Ordinarily,
And on “Occasions” They Use Even More
BY MILDRED /TRAWICK '
That “cleanliness is next to god
liness” seems to be the belief of}
the Athens citizenry, especially on
big week-ends, for the consump
ton of water in Athens increases
about 260,000 gallons above the av
erage during events like the New
York game, according to G. W.
Waldrop, operating engineer at the
Athens water works.
The average daily water con
sumption of the city of Athens is
1,800,000 gallons. During the recent
economic depression, however, the
amount decreased about 800,000
gallons.
To meet the need for more equip
ment, a new coagulating basin and
another clear-water well are being
built at the main plant of the Ath
ens works, One new pump is to be
installed in the distributing plant
and another has been promised. .

OV POGSIBILITY OF
HENRY FORD'S VISIT
President Coes Ahead
With Vacation, Lets
Early Do Talking
JOHNSON TO COME
Chief Executive Refuses
To Interfere in Cases
At Scottsboro
WARMS SPRINGS, Ga. —(AP)
—President Roosevelt went ahead
with his vacation Tuesday silent
about the talk coming in from the
outside about an Impending visit
with Henry Ford, the recalcitrant
NRA advocate. i
His secretary, Stephens T. Ear
ly, said that no arrangements had
been made for a visit here by Mr.
Ford be he added that the automo
bile manufacturer would be receiv
ed if he came and also there would
be ng surprise if such an event
came about. .
To all appearances mutual
friends of the two are seeking a
conference between the President
and Mr. Ford. Thig meting may
come but there is a lot of negotia
ting in store to effect it.
The fact that General Hugh S.
Johnson, industrial administrator,
is going to be here this week in all
probability gives strength to the
rumors. He is going to talk at At
lanta this week and there is every
expectation that he will also comse
to Warm Springg about the same
time Mr. Ford Arrive.
Meanwhile Mr. Roosevelt ig en
joying a complete relaxation from
the cares of office. He is swim
ming in the pool here under a
bright sun and warm weather and
visiting the friends he knew here
in other days.
To all appearances he is satis.
fied with the progress of the Na
tional Recovery campaign as it
stands today. He is keeping con
tact over the telephocne. Before
leaving Washington he had a last
minute checkup on affairs. An ap
peal from Decatur, Ala., Monday
night by Samuel Liebowitz, counsel
for the Negroes charged with rape
of two white girls, was referred to
Governor Miller of Alabama.
Mr. Roosevelt in a formal state
ment remarked that chief ex
ecutive of the United States could
not interfere with the jurisdiction
of state courts. Mr. Early referred
the telegram to Gov. Milier.

American People Expect Too Much From
NRA, Says Head of Southern Economists
By MAURICE BERNARDIK
We are expecting too much of
the N.MR. A. before its full ma
chinery has gotten into action, is
the opinion held by Dean R. P.
Brooks, of the School of Commerce
at the University.
“people do not seem to realize,”
said the dean, who was recently
elected president of the Southern
Economic association at a meeting
in Atlanta, “that there are three
billions of dollars that are to be
distributed through the public
works program, It takes time to
find acceptable contracts and to
get that money circulating.”
But there is a definite trend up
ward, Dean Brooks thinks. He sup
ported this with figures from the
index of emplyoment which has
risen in the past few months.
Although prices have not mate
rially risen since this country
went off the gold standard, Dean
Brooks holds that if such a policy
is maintained, the dollar will be
depreciated, so that a rise may be
expected. : :

OVERTON PROBE
WITNESS BOOED
Plea for ‘Honest Elections’
Brings Cry of ‘Hire a
Hall’ from Heckler
' NEW ORLEANS.—(AP)—Vocif
serous appluase and boos broke out
before the senate committee inves
tigating the 1932 election of Sen
ator John H. Overton, Huey P.
Long ally, Tuesday when a witness
interrupted his testimony to ad
diress a plea to the commitiee for
l“honest elections.”
“Hire a hall,” shouted one spec
tator at the witness, Arthur Cam
bas, Ninth ward captain for Ex-
Senator Edwin 8, ‘Broussard, who
was defeated in the election.
Cambas jumped to his feet from
the witness chair, leveled a shak
ing finger at the shouting specta
tor and called back, “You're on the
payroll!” . T <
Rape For Order
A confused tumult of approba
tion and disapproval greeted the
exchange as partisans on both
sides egged thé two on, but Sena
tor Thomas (D., Utah), presiding,
rapped sharply for order.
“I believe in a fair vote,” said
Cambas under cross-examination
of Allen Ellender, counsel for
Overton. “I believe in fair elec
tions, one where the elected man
can hold up his head. I want the
record -to show we haven't been
given a fair chance.”
It was at this point that boos
and cheers broke out and the uni
dentified spectator suggested the
hiring of a hall.
~ Cambas came back on the stand

FREE FOOD SHOW NOT
TO BE HELD FRIDAY
The free food show which was
to be held Thursday afternoon in
the store formerly occupied by
Bernstein Furniture store under
the Masonic temple on Lumpkin
street, has been postponed to a
later date, G. H. Bell, secretary
of the Independent Retail Food
Dealers association of Athens, an
nounced Tuesday. §
Mr. Bell said that patrons of
member stores who already have
prize coupons in tHeir possession
may turn them in to those stores
and receive new coupons for the
show, which will be staged in the
near future. {
market prices will have the same
effect,” he stated further.
The dollar, that is, paper money,
gradually loses its value as higher
prices are paid for gold. Thus it
is expected that prices will rise.
As yet, the dean admitted, prices
have done no such thing. In the
long run though, this policy ought
to have the same effect as going
off the gold standard.
“The widespread idea that on
January 1 we will have definite
recovery has no economic basis. A
definite date,” Dean Brooks ex
plained, “cannot be set. Recovery
is a long and slow process.”
This attitude of hopefulness, he
believes, is healthful, provided too
much is not expected all at once.
The purpose of the Southern
Economic association, of which
Dean Brooks was elected president
at a meeting in Atlanta recently,
is to study economic problems in
the South, and to develop an in
terest in-economic research among
