JUDGE WALSH SPENDS H.
 NIGHT OUT ON SOUND
Goes 10 Rescue of Disabled Craft and Becomes Disabled
 Himself

l Stamford, May 12.-Judge John l
 Walsh of the Fairfield county com
 mon pleas court put in harder day yesterday aboard his boat on Long Is- land sound. with gale blowing, than
 he is accustomed to experience on the 1 bench. He, with others. spent much
 of last night bailing water, and when
 he landed this morning at s o'clock it
 was after an experience he does not
 care 10 repeat.
 Judge Walsh went out vest erdaN afternoon to make trial spin of his motor boat "Bculah" having with him Ives ePterson. who runs the boat for him. Out in the Sound, with the white capped waves running freely. and the wind blowing strong the "Bculah" crew sighted q signal of dis trcss on another boat and at once went to the rescue. It seems that that William F.. Graf and John Uhl, both of East Norwalk, had been to Cos Cob 10 get the 32-foot power boat Burton" which had been overhauled there for it's owner. a New York man. On the way back to East Norwalk the maeneto on the Burton" went dead. After tinkering about the engine the men could moi get it started and set a signal. This was the signal that Judge Walsh and Peterson saw. The latter came alongside and lashcd the boats together with the intention of towing the Burton to East Norwalk. But the "Beulah's" engine bucked and inc two boats began to drift and thrash about in the rising storm.
 Graf and Uhl finally took the row. boat and went ashore to get some fit tings for their magneto. They re- turned at dark but in spite of all sorts of tinkering neither boat would start Darkness settled down and the boats lashcd together were drifting. The rowboat also had got away. The boats drifted about 900 yards off Col lenders Point and most of the night they were tossed about off Tokenekc Point. Early this morning the Bur ton" was cast-off and drifted closer in shore and Graf and l'hl jumped overheard as the boat set in on the rocks and swan ashore and were cared for by Dr. John Harris Of New York who was at his summer cottage, He is deputy traffic commissioner in New York city
 Meantime tho "Beulah" had kept on drifting until it was seen by the oyster boat Katie G." which picked it up and lowed 1t into East Norwalk where Judge Walsh and Peterson landed.

DESCRIBES PLACE
 AVATORS CRASHED
National Geographic Gives View
 Of Alaskan Country

Washington, May l2.--DIgging into the store of information gathered b! explorers, the National Geographic so ciety today produced q picture of tho region where Major Frederick l. Martin. the world-niGht aviator, crash. ed into q mountainsidc. Ii showed that the topography and climatic con ditions made it almost inevitable that the craft should come 10 grief.
 Describing the country between Chignik, where the aviator took to the air, and Port Moller, to which place he walked with Sergeant Harvey. his mcchdnician. the society said;
 The Aleutitn range, between these points, offers frequent pitfalls for the aviator, because it consists largely of conical peaks rising suddenly out of dreary tundras or marshes.
 'The entire Alaska peninsula rN- treme west Of Alaska's mainland, is a mountain ridge of several hundred miles with spurs and sides sharply descending to the sea.
 "Only about dozen permanent Eskimo settlements are left along 2,000 miles of indcntcd coast.
 The Aleutian range begins near he roots of the Alaska peninsula and cx- tends out to it's tip, and beyond into the Aleutian islands The highest peaks are near the eastern end. but even at the western tip of the penin- sula heights of COCO feet and more arc attained.
 Port Moller the community to which the airmen made their way on foot. is only about t5O miles from the lip of the peninsula. This little set tlement, consisting for tho most part of a salmon cannery is on the Bcring Sea or north side of the peninsula. It is close to the point where the 16lst degree of west longitude crosses the 56th parallel of latutlde.
 "A nest of high mountains almost surrounds the deep indentation on which Port Moler is situated, and the main ridge of the Aleutian range with numerous peaks runs just south. Once having gotten over the land in the fog and struck down this range. it was almost inevitable tlat a crash should occur. Between the peaks Tn this re- zion are n number of low passes from the Pacific 10 Boring Sea Through these blow moist winds from the Pa eific, which, meeting tho colder air from the north, make this one of the foggiest regions on the peninsula.
 "rhe mountains in this part of the peninsula are devoid Of trees. but stunted bushes grow in the hollows. No active volcanoes are known in the immediate vicinity of Port Molcr. but about 75 miles farther west is paNlof, one nf the most striking of the ever smoking peaks of Alaska.
 Salmon fishing is now the all im- portant industry and most Of the set dement's where white men are found are around cannprics.
 "A phenomenon of the Alaska peu- lnsula is the mirage that optical magician which shows headlands and Islands in the air and paints snowy ridges where they do not exist"

SHIPBUILDERS DISCUSS
 U. s. MERCHANT MARINE
Leading Builders of Country Speak T0Gay at Meeting Being Field
 in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, May 12.--l'lans to in
 sure the pcrmanency Of shipbuiding
 as one of Amcrica's basic industries and for the Upbuiding of the Amcri- can merchant marine were discussed al the annual meeting of the Atlantic Coast ShipbuiIding association open ing here today. Leading shipbuildcrs arc on the program for addresses.
 In his annual report, to be submit ted 10 the convention tonight Clarence Samuel King, secretary of the asso- citation, attributes the depression in the shipbuiIding industry to unsettled international conditions and the lack Of q definite maritime policy on the part of this nation,"
 During the last three years the in- dustry had showed decline of 9G per cont, he said.
 While no effort is made to mini mze the manifold handicaps facing the industry" he continued, "A dis tinct note of optimism is reported among the shipbuildcrs. who are agreed That the adoption of a definite 'i''i'ltHi PotiGS III SiipplHG dHdllS VIII have q tendency to stimulate the in tercsts of the American people in the possibility of utilizing the great faci- ities possessed by this country for the construction of new tonnage, and in helping to create a demand for ships built by American workmcn in Amer iCan shipyards."
 He recommends that the associa- ton further enlarge it's scope by ac- ccpting as members cooperating yards along the Great lakes and on the Pa cific coast that seek closer utilization but heretofore have been barred from because of geographical location.

= K. ( Il 10y -
Al year Of broad caeting from 'aThel

into the past last night.
OF course there was a party and
q program oe exceptional features
70 mark the passing. There were
guests from New York and Wash.
iBgton at the studio and 9 little
parade Of Western Union mes
sengeFs brought in word that there
were thousands Of others sitting In
on the party ct their homes.
There were flowers and refresh
naents and congratulations.
And there was much talk Of the
future.
After all, at the end OF years
existence, even q hroadcasting sta
tion just begins 20 ait up and take
notice.
WRC has proved q faithfs1i and
appreciative entertainer for the
Capital and for the country for q
year. Many nights that otherwise
might have been very irkspme have
been made worth while by the lusty
br6adcasting OF this radio infant.
The Radio Corporation Of America
and It's corps OF workers who have
directed the fortunes Of WRC. have
earned the sincere thanks and the
honest praise Of the Capital.
Perhaps the most interestingly
reminiscent features OF the anni-
versary program were the voices
OF Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, and
General John Hines, which assisted
at the christening ceremonies Of
the station year ago.
For its musical numbers the ID.
rectors Of WRC presented three
pupils Of the Louis Thompson
studios, whose offerings last night
deserve high rank among the most
brilliant broadcasts Of the year.
The three singers were Hazel
Arth, Harlan Randell and Everett
Hardell. And the Randell- Hardell
duet. In This Silent Hour" brought
out the most generous applause of
the studio guests.
Moe Baer and his Boernstein-
Wardnpan Park Hotel Trio closed
the program with q concert ending
