 Behind this laconic radio received at the office of the United States Line from Captain A. B. Randall of the s. S. Hudson, lay the story of a dramatic rescue in midocean and the successful efforts of skipper to clear his good name of the charge of negligence.
 A few months ago Captain Ran dall came in for good deal of criti- cism because of his failure to go to the assistance of three men in a dory which was in distress off Sandy Hook The captain was brought be- fore the Steamboat Inspection Ser vice on charge of neglect of duty, but although exonerated he was under cloud of having violated the code of the sea in refusing to go to the assistance of a boat in distress.
 Today the captain stands in the role of hero. having made a thrill ing rescue, which required a display of the most extraordinary seaman ship.
 It was New Years Day, and the Hudson was returning from Bremen en route for New York. The ship was pitching in high sea. Immense breakers smashed over the bow oi the liner. Suddenly the lookout re- ported seeing through the mist a tiny speck on the horizon. The speck proved to be fishing schooner

POSTAL IMPROVEMENT
 WEEK IS OBSERVED
May i Sees Inaugurated First General Campaign of
 Kind in Service.

Without the Postal Service, business would languish in day, and be at standstilI in week. Public opinion would die of dry rot. Sectional hatred or prejudice only would flourish, and narrow-mindedness thrive.
 It is the biggest distinctive business in the world and it comes nearer to the innermost interests of a greater num- Der of men and women than any other institution on earth No private busi- ness, however widespread, touches so many lives so often or sharply; no church reaches into so many souls, hutters so many pulses, has so many human beings dependent on it's min- istratiOns.
 "Postal Improvement Week. has been set for May 1. by the Postmaster General. This is the first general cam paign of it's kind in the Postal Service for several decades. Business men and their organizations, large users or the mail, newspapers, motion pictures, advertisers, and the entire organiza- ton of 326,000 postal workers are to be enlisted in this countrywide campaign of interest in postal improvements. Your help is vital. Address your let ters plainly with pen or typewriter Give street address. Spell out name of State, don't abbreviate. Put your return address in the upper left hand corner of envelope (not on the back) and always look at your letter before dropping In the mail to see lf 1t IS properly addressed. This care in the use of the mails is for your benefit and speeds up the dispatch and delivery of mail matter.
 If you have any complaints Of poor service make them to your postmaster He has instructions to investigate them and report to the department

 Mir. Sumerin said that federal funds are badly needed to maintain the guard. but that there is no need of funds for flood sufferers.

 Lengthy Bill Is Read
 After Senator McCumbers address there was a dispute between Re publicans and Democrats at to pro- cedure. with a result that the read ing of the 440-page bill was ordered. This consumed the remainder of the day and it was announced that when the Senate convened today it would proceed to the considera- tion of the 2,000 odd committee amendments.
 Objecting yesterday to immediate consideration of committee amend ments, Senator Simmons of North Carolina declared the minority had not had sufficient time to pre- pare themselves. He said the Demo crats had been working diligently and gave assurance that they twill not obstruct but will do everything possible to facilitate the speediest possible final determination"
 Senator Jones, Democrat, New Mexico, asked whether the majority proposed to take up the question of adopting American or foreign valu- ation. Senator McCumber said the majority was committed to foreign valuation and added that he did not believe the question would be raised in the Senate, although forming the subject of a difference with the House later.
 Senator Simmons declared the Senate should go on record on the question, or otherwise there might ldevelop a situation where it would have to accept American valuation Iafter the bill was in conference
 T still strongly believe the House will agree to foreign valuation, ' replied Senator McCumber. "If it should not, and we get into a dead lock, it will be time enough to dis lcuss the question then To discuss it now would be only waste of time.
 Senator Simmons replied that American valuation would have tc be discussed because the committee proposed to give the president au- thority to proclaim that valuation on given lists of articles when it Ideemed it necessary.
 You have written in by your amendment principle" he added which you say the unanimous judgment of the majority on that |side condemns as vicious" T In opening his prepared address on the committee bill Senator Me Cumber told the Senate that pro- tective tariff and a reduction in production costs were necessary tC reconstruct the commercial bridge across the chasm separating the cost of production in the United States and abroad.
