NRA HEAD TO GIVE UP POST Johnson Starts Farewell Tour as Evangel of Recovery Tomorrow. By United Press WASHINGTON, July 11.—General Hugh S Johnson expects tomorrow to begin his farewell tour as evangel of recovery. His trip will last a month and extend to the Pacific coast.

He will come back, ready to return to private life. The general has recommended to Mr. Roosevelt that he be relieved of administering the national recovery administration and that his duties be transferred to a nonpartisan board of experts. The President will return to Washington next month about the time the general does and then will make up his mind. The only thing worrying Johnson is the probability that he will be made a member of the proposed NRA board. “I'll stay just as long as the President thinks he needs me,” he sighed, “but I have definitely recommended that this is not a oneman job when NRA passes from the organization to the administrative era.” EXPLORER KIDNAPED BY CHINESE BANDITS Famed Swedish Adventurer, Nine Others Held.

Okla., July I.—A fraternity house cook in which duplex apartment pretty Marian Mills, 20. University of Oklahoma co-ed, was found dead today was ordered held as a material witness in a strange campus tragedy. Search continued for Neal Myers, 21, student from El Reno. Myers is believed to have been the last person to see the girl alive. County Attorney Paul Updegraff said Mrs. Hazel Brown, cook for the Delta Upsilon fraternity, had told him she had counselled the youth in efforts to prevent maternity for the girl. The body of Miss Mills, once chosen university beauty queen by the film star Frederic March, was found fully clothed and without marks of violence on a bed in Mrs. Brown’s apartment. After summoning a physician. Myers disappeared. The physician found the body. An autopsy was performed but the findings were not made public. Authorities found after a search of the apartment quantities of quinine and castor oil and other medicines. Mrs. Brpwn told the investigator that Miss Mills had been taking some of the preparations. She said that Myers had come to her last spring and asked if she knew any doctors.” She said she gave the name of an Oklahoma City practitioner. The youth and the campus beauty were her guests Monday night, she .said. Miss Mills, a graduate student in mathematics who was seeking a master of arts degree, was the daughter of M. Elbert Mills, veteran professor of engineering at the university. A member of Delta Gamma sorority, she was popular on the campus and the beauty queen in 1930. Her parents could give no clews on the puzzling death. Joseph Mills, the co-ed's brother, was active in the investigation. “Neal Myers was a friend of mine,” he said, “not a close friend, but a friend. He dated Marian sometimes but did not go with her steadily. Every one in our family liked him.” Mrs. Brown and her son, Richard, 16, told Mr. Updegraff that Myers and Miss Mills called at the Brown apartment late Monday with suitcases and that Myers introduced the girl as “My wife, Marian.” No record of a marriage license was found at the courthouse here. Myers asked and obtained permission to spend the nigrtl at the apartment, which is in a district dotted with fraternities and the homes of university professors. Mrs. Brown's statement that Myers, a pharmacy student, had administered medicine to the co-ed, came early today after a night of questioning. The youth's father, P. B. Myers of El Reno, arrived today to aid in the investigation. He appealed for his son to return. ■MODEL YOUTH’ FREED OF WOMAN’S CHARGES 14-Year-Old Boy Released on Advice of Doctors.

U. S. Mediators Fight to Avert General Strikes Three Major Cities Threatened by Crippling Walkouts; Little Hope Held for Early Peace. By t'nited Press General strikes threatened to burst with bombshell force in three of America’s larger cities today. Federal mediators desperately sought to stave off the walkouts which would imperil the food supplies of the 1,500.000 residents of San Francisco, Minneapolis and St. Paul.

Refusal of truck line operatives and employes to arbitrate the Minneapolis dispute brought a general strike imminent in the Twin Cities. More than 30.000 union men may be involved by tomorrow. In San Francisco, heart of the violence - marked Longshoremen's strike, one powerful union, voting for a sympathy walkout, served a ivirtual ultimatum that the maritime dispute must be settled by tonight. Half of the city's 129 unions were reported ready to respond to a strike call. Federal mediation boards, armed with complete arbitration powers by the new national labor relations board, appeared to be facing stone walls tin effort-; to reach peaceful settlements.

SECOND PANEL ORDERED FOR COHN’STRIAL 25 Prospective Jurors to Report Tomorrow m Bank Case. A second special panel of twentyfive prospective jurors for the embezzlement trial of Melville S. Cohn, a vice-president and director of the defunct Meyer-Kiser bank, was ordered by Special Judge Alexander G. Cavins today to report to criminal court tomorrow morning. Judge Cavins acted just before noon recess when it became apparent there was a strong possibi'ity that today's session would see the first special panel of seventy-five men exhausted before the day ended without, a jury selected. The defense, which had used three of its ten peremptory challenges, turned a jury of twelve men over to the state as tentatively acceptable at noon today. Floyd Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor, indicated to Judge Cavins he probably would use several peremptory challenges. The judge then ordered the second panel. Three Arc Challenged The. three peremptorily challenged by the defense were Frank B. Grubb, 318 North Drexel avenue, jeweler; Duke Painter, 1505 Villa avenue, a Big Four conductor, and the first man tentatively seated yesterday, and Guy Schumaker. 2005 College avenue, a bakery machine manufacturer. Eight men were excused for cause by the defense yesterday, all because they said they had formed an opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the accused. The state exercised its peremptory challenge in excusing Walter R. Shiel, 1304 Central avenue, who said he was a personal friend of Mr. Cohn and that he had numerous business dealings with other former officers of the bank. Mr. Grubb apparently was challenged because he had been a member of a Sunday school class taught by Mr. Rucker. Factory Operator Challenged “Were you influenced about what Mr. Rucker reported regarding the bank,” Mr. Grubb was asked. “Knowing Mr. Rucker, 1 naturally wondered about it,” he replied. Homer Selch, 844 1 a Virginia avenue, operator of a sheet metal factory, was one of those challenged for cause by the defense. He was asked why he did not feel he could sit as a fair and impartial juror. “Because I have received from my customers many checks on closed banks,” Mr. Selch replied. “Some of the checks were on the MeyerKiser bank,” he added. 7 NEW~CITrOfFTcERS SET REVOLVER MARK Recruits Turn in All-Time Target Record of 82.18.
