Harrlsburg. Ta., Feb. in.—Open revolt In the DemocrKtlg party In Northeastern Pennsylvania was. In¬ dicated as expressions of. dlasjiUi- faction with state ticket Indorsed IhlH afternoon by the llMnocratlc state committee were voiced by party leaders In Harrlsburg hotel lobbies tonight.
Foremost among tliose who'Jolrted In the cliorus of dissehalbh' Were John A. rtUey, Sugar Kotch, leader of the Al Smith wing of Luzerne county's Democracy;. .I'atrlcK A. Duffy, WilkeH-Barre, state commltr teenian, and Hugh Brady, Lacka¬ wanna county Democratic--chair¬ man.
Though the Indorsements of Joseph F. Guffey. Pittsburgh, for TTnlted States senator; George H. Karlo 3rd, PliiladelpUla, for gover¬ nor; Thomas Konnedy, Hazleton, for lieutenant-governor: Attorney Thomas A. Logue, Philadelphia, for secretary ot Internal affairs; and Chester A. Ithoades, Stroudsburg, for superior court Judge, were re¬ corded by an unanimous vote It was evident that many of the commitee- men were not In thorough accord.
The dissatisfaction nppe.irert to be created not so muth because ot tbe choico ot candidates Indorsed but because of the manner In which they were Indorsoil.
This statement, shared In by more than one cotnmlttcoman, was ex- pres.scd by Committeeman Duffy when he said:
"To be frank with you, I did not know what It was all about. I was not consulted about the endorse¬ ments and I did not know who were lo be suggested for approval. I have given much thought to selecting the right kind of candidates but It would have been ridiculous to have suggested any one without the stamp of the Ouffey-Van Dyke ma¬ chine. The whole slate was rail¬ roaded through as smoothly as any thing I have ever heard of In Penn- sylviinla."
Rlley expressed .furprlse at the manner in which the Guffey-Van Dyke taction succeeded In giving tbe candidates the approval ot the state committee members, of whom 108 ot the 113 were In attendance or repre¬ sented by proxies.

New York. Feb. 10.—UP—Weary groups ot traders and brokers de¬ serted Wall Street today, seeking somo solace In a two-day holiday, but still puzzled and depressed by proposed regulations ot securities trading.
Tbey had juRt concluded the heaviest Saturday trading on the New Yoi-k stock exchange since July 22, 1033, and tbe heaviest week sinco the same dato. And the con- clu.slon camo with anything but n ¦blaze ot glory, for they faced strin¬ gent regulations and possibly fur¬ ther depression ot prices as re."!ult ot the regulations and rescinding ot governmeiil air mail contracts. Shares   Are   Dumped
The brokers and traders bad the first tasto ot public reaction to the proposed rules today, even though the regulatory bill has only been Introduced. Overnight thousands of shares were dumped on the market to bo sold, particularly In the air¬ craft division. Tho opening was active—so active In fact that a price on I'nited Aircraft could not be ar¬ rived at until 69 minutes after the market opening—and lower. Blocks ot 1,000 to 20,000 shares reeled out clogging the tickers.
Short covering and a little better feeling camo in after the opening and brought a close that In tbe gen¬ eral list was only fractions to more than a point lower. Aircraft issues were depressed as much as 6% points, the latter coming In United Aircraft, while gains ranged to more than 5 points, the greatest coming In I'nlted Stater; Smelting and Keflnlng.
But despite the market's showing, Wall Street tonight still admitted to perplexities concerning tho market and the various regulatory acts.
One broker advanced the belief that slmultaneuu.sly with operation ot the provisions as they are now written, brokerage houses must dis¬ charge many employees.
Already plans are being made for group meetings in various cities ot brokerage members to consider thu proposed new legislation and make recommendations for rcvlsldn ot tho law. No formal meeting has been called thus fai in New York City. Meet   Decline

It was emphallzed, however, that the general strike would not affect I le public Schools, subways or elec¬ tric power stations. Approximately half of the regular autobuses in ser¬ vice would be maintained, It was said.
Similar conditions will exist throughout tho country.
Communists Active
The new government (Icfinitcly fears that Communists will resume their sabotage during the strike. Arrangements havo been made to have detachments of soldiers guard Important electrical centers, gas tanks and other public utilities.
Labor leaders have given assur¬ ance that the strikers were In¬ structed to remain ott the streets and refrain from mass demonstra- tioiiH Monday, nevertheless Premier Doijmergue's government is deter¬ mined to take every precaution to prevent a recurrence ot last week's bloody rioting.
The city waited tensely for mid¬ night Sunday when the strike Is scheduled to begin. A freezing fog lay over the streets as the new gov¬ ernment deliberated its course. A few hoodlums were ranging the boulevards, but otherwise the city was quiet.
Army Ready
Plans ot Cumniunlsts to stago demonstrations at dusk Monday caused the government some con- icrn, and Mlniater ot tbo Interior Albert Sarraut directed the mobil¬ ization of 15,000 municipal polico and 18,000 Infantrymen, cavalrymen and artillerymen In the city and suburbs.
Indications tonight were that tho whole of France would be paralyzed by the 24-hour strike, with the like¬ lihood that the provinces will suffer more than metropolitan Paris. Traffic   Impaired
Though transportation In Paris will be at a virtual standstill, trains will be running all day Monday, tho crews having agreed to limit their protest to a one-minute strike. Rail¬ road office workers will be "out" only for 25 minutes.
Organizations ot postal workers tonight were considering joining the walkout.

The tragedy occurred at West Pittston and the body has not been recovered. A daring attempt to rescue tbe sink¬ ing youth was made by one of his pals with the aid of a heavy stick.

edge of the river. Later the quintet ventured farther out.
At a point, reported by police to be 100 feet from shore, the Ice be¬ gan to crack. According to Rizzo's companions he was quite close to tho open stream when he tell through.
The youth floundered on the sur¬ face of the water for about two minutes, during which period his pal, Joe Valentl advanced cautious¬ ly with a heavy stick, endeavoring to come within reach ot the victim and Intendlni; to pasa to him one end of the stick and thu.s effect his rescue. The ice under Valcnti's feet weakened am he was forced to abandon the rescue, while young Rizzo sank to the bottom ot the river, which Is about 30 feet deep In  that region.
Making their way to the west bank ot the river, companions ot the drowned youth notified I'ittston and West Pittston police.

THREE PLAINS HOMES DAMAGED BY BLAST
Dynamiters partly wrecked three Plains Township homes last night at 11 oclock, frightened more than a dozen children and escaped with¬ out identities being established.
The charge was placed on thw front porch of a dwelling occupied by Martin Palka aud family at 112 William street. I'ollce report Palka Is employed by Conlon Coal Com¬ pany.

W.ashlngton, Feb, 10—UP—One of the most hilarious legal mixups In capital annals tonight found former Assistant Secretary of Com¬ merco William P. MacCracken jr. ensconced in the ap.artment of the Senate sergeant-at-arm.a, where he insisted he was under arrest for contempt ot tho Senate.
Sergeant - at - Arms Chesley M. Jurney, the Involuntary host. In¬ sisted equally as firmly thnt Mac¬ Cracken was not under arrest, be¬ cause the necessary warrant was locked  in  a vault  at  the  capital.
To complicate m.atters still fur- there was the rrival of Deputy Mar¬ shal John Clarkson with a writ ot habeas corpus. He demanded that Jurney surrender MacCracken at once so that he could be taken to the District ot Columbia Supreme Court.
Jurney replied that he couldn't surrender JIacCrackei, because he still hadn't arrested him and didn't intend to until Monday when the Senate Is In session.'
MacCracken added the final bit of irony to a day of legal bickering by saying that he considered himself In custody and that he therefore felt forced to at.ay with Jurney until the latter decides what to do- next.
The member ot the "Little Cab¬ inet" during the Hoover administra¬ tion was cited for contempt because he refused to give a Senate com¬ mittee investigating air mail con¬ tracts certain letters entrusted to him by his clients. Three ot the latter also face similar charges.
MacCracken's insistence that he was under arrest flabbergasted Mrs. Jurney, who excitedly put her five room apartment In order for her iinexpci'ted week-end guest.
"Oh yes, Mr. MacCracken," sho said, "you're perfectly welcome to slay here. It's a pleasure. Tou can sleep  In  the little bed  room.
MacCracken, In a dark blue busl- ne.sis suit, said he was sorry to bother her, but that since her hus¬ band had arrested him ho felt honor bound to stay there tonight, to¬ morrow, and until the senate takes action.
"Yes. but I didn't arrest you," In¬ sisted Jurney, who dotted his frock coat and replaced It with a frayed smoking jacket.
"Oh, that's all rl^ht, replied Mac¬ Cracken. "I still claim I'm under arrest and hero I stay."
"Captors"  Are  Polite "Okay,"    retorted Jurney,    "Hero you stay—and Mrs. Jurney and my¬ self are mighty, mighty glad to have you here."
Negotiations had proceeded that far when Clarkson banged on the door.
That embarrassed everybody pre¬ sent, including the photographers, who couldn't figure how he fitted into the jig-saw puzzle of writs and warrants and senatorial arguments. Clarkson insisted that Jurney su- render MacCrakcn Immediately. Jurney Inslstei' that he couldn't do any surrendering, because he dldn t have any prisoner
Then, said Clarkson, Jurney would have to take tbe writ and go to court Monday morning. Jurney said he would, but he didn't quite see why he bad to. Clarkson explained tbo  law.
By that timo Mrs. Jurney had dinner cooked. Sho invited Mac¬ Cracken to join the I'aiiilly. He aald thanks, he would. Hungry—after a big day, he explained.

Washington, Feb. 10—UP—Possi¬ bility ot a reduction In air mall rates was discussed by postal offi¬ cials today as they worked tever- i.siily on arrangements for turning the air mail service over to the Army  at   midnight,   February   19.
Protests from aviation companiea that stand to lose millions of dol¬ lars through' cancellation ot their contracts were Ignored while post- office, cqmmerCe and war depart¬ ment air chiefs studied routes and schedules In preparation tor the transfer.
Army   Ready
All were confident the Army could handle the new job with no interruption  ot   service.
Harrlee Branch, assistant Post¬ master General In charge ot the airmail, said the Army would start service at 12:01 a. m., February 20.  on  all  "essential"  routes.
He promised specifically that there would be service between every one ot tho 12 Federal Reserve Bank cities—Boston, New Y^ork, I'hlladelpbia, Richmond, Atlant.a. Cleveland, C'blcago, St. Louis, Kan¬ sas City, Minneapolis, Dallas and San  Francisco.
Branch hoped to be able to an¬ nounce within a few daya the full list of additional cities to be served.
"When we get through, we ex¬ pect to have a more efficient and far-reaching system than at the present," Branch said. "And we hope a slight reduction In rates will be possible."
How long the Army would carry the  mall  was  uncertain.
Not  Permanent  Plan
Congi<esslonal circles believed the Army service would be temporary, but before any new bids are asked trom private lines. It was considered certain that present laws governing air mall contracts would be thor¬ oughly overhauled.
It was the evidence gathered by this committee and by other federal Investigators that caused President Roosevelt to order alb present domestic contracts cancelled on the ground that there had been fraud and collusion In their aw^ard.

Within the next month, more than 35,000 coal company employees In Luzerne and Lackawanna counties, who will begin full time operation tomorrc^w, will have earned more than $3,500,000 In wages. It was un¬ officially estimated last night.
Returning to work aa a result of the end of the general strike of the United Anthracito Miners of I'enn¬ syivania, thousands ot men who answered tho new union's suspen¬ sion order on January 15 and other thousanda who went out «n volun¬ tary "holidays" during ths four weeka tieup, can look forward to almost a full month ot 100 percent operation.
Boom Period Ahead Admittedly from two weeka to a full month behind coal orders and with an eager market for every pound ot the daily production of approximately 00,000 tons, coal companiea in the bl-county region laat night looked forward to a longer period ot uninterrupted operation than has been experi¬ enced In  the last tew years.
Unprecedented weather of the past week, bringing In its wake a volume ot demand tar In excess ot the normal seasonal market, alao will bo a stimulus to production for the remainder ot this month and the flrst halt ot March. By the time the delayed orders are filled and production has caught up with demand It will be time to preparfe for the Increase In orders that usually precedes the annual spring  prico reductions.
Huge Payrolls Coming Reckoned on the basis of twenty working days as the minimum for the next month, the total District V payroll will be In excess ot J3,- 500,000. The daily payroll Is ap¬ proximately $175,000, ot which Luzerne county workers receive the lion's share, the Glen Alden Coal Company's dally payroll alone be¬ ing almost $90,000, as there are about   18,000   men   In   Its   employ.
AU othor coal companies In both counties employ a total almosi equal to the Glen Alden torct, bringing the aggregate number •! men with joba to about 35,000. The average daily wage la $6, bringing the dally payroll for Luzerrie and Lackawanna counties to $175,000.
