OBEYS ORDERS. SAVES LIFE IN AKRON TRAGEDY Clings to Cable 2,000 Feet Above Earth for Hour Before Rescue. By L m!'4 Prr** SAN DIEGO. Cal.. May 12— A husky farmer boy who Is learning to be a .sailor experienced a hairraising and highly dangerous adventure because he wax taught, right at the start of his naval career, to obey orders. When Charles <Bud> Cowart of Sand Springs, Okla., grabbed hold of a mooring cable from the navy dirigible Akron Wednesday, he remembered that an officer had ordered him and the rest of the ground crew to hang onto that rope." When the dirigible suddenly soared aloft, Cowart obeyed orders. He hung on. As the ship rose high into the air. two other sailors who also had “hung on " lost their holds and fell hundreds of feet to their deaths. But not so with Cowart. After the others had dropped from the same cable on which he dangled, he held himself with one hand while he looped ‘he loose end of the rope around his legs with the other. Fashioning a regular bosun's seat - ’ in that manner, h“ saved his life. But his adventure had not ended. He dangled in midair beneath the dirigible, nearly 2.000 feet from earth, for an hour and a half before he was hauled into the Akron. Once inside and safe, he expressed an immediate desire to examine the great craft. He appeared to have suffered not a bit during his perilous experience, and rr fused to be bundled up to ward off possible serious effects of exposure and shock.

DEMOCRAT BILL ON REVISION OF TARIFF VETOED House Votes Against Overriding of Hoover’s Action to Kill Measure. By I'mitrß Prr** WASHINGTON. May 12 —The Democratic tariff revision bill is dead. President Hoover vetoed it Wednesday and promptly was sustained by the house The vote to override the veto was 178 to 166. leaving the Democrats fifty-one short of the necessary two-thirds. The measure would have stripped the President of his power to increase or reduce tariff rates, and would have directed him to seek international action for reduction of tariff barriers. Mr. Hoover, in rejecting the bill, said “there never has been a time in the history of the United States when tariff protection was more essential to the wel.are of the American people.” He objected that it “would de-

! stroy the effectiveness of the flexible tariffs." and ‘‘would surrender our own control of an important part of our domestic affairs to the influence of other nations, or alternatively, would lead us into futilities in international negotiations." Democrats were aware from the first that Mr. Hoover would veto the bill, but pressed it as a campaign Issue. GET $275 AUTO LOOT Theft of Coat and Typewriter From Cars Reported.
