Instead, the man who will be 75 years old next month went out to the River Rouge Plant to inspect a $34,000,000 construction program now underway. Accompanied by four employees who have been at his side since the company was organized, Mr. Ford led a group of some 50 people on a tour of the mammoth new steel pressing shop and the new tool and die shop. They are part of the construction program which is the largest private building enterprise in the nation today—and which incidentally is Henry Ford's answer

He attacked | Congress for refusing to adopt an | amendment to the bill which would have forbade the use of relief money for political purposes. “There never has been such a bold and brazen piece of conduct in the history of the American Congress, for here was a plain, square admission that they were appropriat-

directions of Maj. Myron Lund, 135th Infantry, and five other National Guard officers. Donations from nearby cities enabled the search to be continued. The task of feeding between 1000 and 1500 searchers was taken care of through camp kitchens from Camp Ripley. More than $1000 already has been spent in the hunt. Search yesterday for the lad who wandered off into the woods was aided by contour photographs of the region taken by the 109th Aero Squadron. Fears were expressed that the boy had been unable to survive four and a half days in the mosquito-infected swampland without food or shelter. Some volunteer searchers believed the boy may have fallen into one of the numerous swamp holes and drowned. In that event, it was believed doubtful that his body would be found. Richard Ware, the boy's father, said he believed the boy could live by eating roots and leaves, as he had often done on the farm. Mrs.

Ware, however, haggard and worn, feared he would not be found alive.
