was heard high over Sarichef Light,
in Unimak Pass, at 1:15 early to
day. The plane seemed to be tra

was missing.
The plane was not sighted on
, account of the dense fog but seem

the water’s surface. The motor ap
parently was stopped suddenly as
it was heard no more.

I In an appended notation to
“every employer” President Roose

velt states that'the “agreement is;
part of a nation-wide plan to raise!
wages, create employment, and
thus increase purchasing power:
iand restore business. That plan de- j
pends wholly on united action by j
all employers. For this reason I ask
you, as an employer, to do your’
part by signing.” The President al-j
so says that “If it turns out that
(the general agreement bears un-i
fairly on any group of employers1
they can have that straightened
out by presenting promptly their
proposed Code of Fair Competition ”!
The reemployment agreement is^
authorized by Section 4a of the Na
tional Industrial Recovery Act.
The Certificate and Agreement are
to be signed and delivered to the
local postoffice on or after August;
1 and the signing employers will be i
given their insignia of membership
in the President’s reemployment
drive.
Some of the provisions of the ag
reement are: After August 31, 1933.:

tween 7 a.m., and 7 p.rn. in such
work as will not interfere wdth

partment, establishment, or public
utility, or on any automotive or

livery, or freight service, or in any
'other place or manner, for more
than 40 hours in any one week and
not to reduce the hours of any

tive capacity, who now receive more

lees on emergency maintenance and
jrepair work; nor to very special
ij cases where restrictions of hours
t of highly skilled workers on con
tinuous process would unavoidably
> reduce production but, in any such
l special case, at least time and one
5 third shall be paid for hours worked
r in excess of the maximum. Popula
tion for the purposes of this ag
* reement shall be determined by
reference to the 1930 Federal census.

! taxes or other costs resulting from
! action taken pursuant to the Agri

, ree to support and patronize estab
lishments which also have signed
the agreement and are listed as
j members of the N. R. A.
; Where, before June 16, 1933, the
complying employer had contracted
! to purchase goods at a fixed price
for delivery during the period of
; this agreement, he will make an ap
propriate adjustment of said fixed
! price to meet any increase in cost
caused by the seller having signed
the President’s reemployment ag
reement or having been bound by a
Code of Fair Competition approved
by the President.
The agreement shall cease upon
approval by the President of a code
which the complying employer is
subject; or if the N. R. A. so elects,
upon submission of a code to which
he is subject and the substitution
of any of its provisions for the re
J employment agreement.

the most extraordinary automobile
accidents ever recorded Henry Hei

his right arm yeserday and did not

for nearly 10 minutes.
He was riding in an automobile
driven by Axton Jones, of Alame
da. Four miles south of Hayward
they passed a truck. Heimar, rid
ing on the right side with his
arm on the sill of an open window,
complained of being hurt. Five
miles further on he asked Jones
to look. “See where my right arm
is gone,” he said
Jones, horrifed, rushed to the
Highland hospital here. Heimar
calmly walked into an operating
room and submitted to a blood
transfusion which Jones supplied.
The victim then lost consciousness
but the physicians were hopeful of
saving his life.
Sheriff’s officers said the road
ster they had been riding in did
not bear a scratch. A search of the
