Washington to Get
Evidence in Trial
BOatsWain Haley

Boston, Nov. 23-(P)-Evidence of
the court martial of Boatswain Mar
Gus Haley, former commander of the
Coast Guard Patrol boat PAP, bear
ing on nine of the II specifications
charging him with violation of rules
and regulations today was forward
ed to Washington. The court found
that the other three specifications
were not proven.
The exact complaints in the speci-
fications were not made public but
from the evidence given it appeared
that they concerned trafficking with
rum-runners on several occasions.
Government witnesses testified that
beer was often on ice on the 242,
that they were given money by Ha-
ley, that the boat had carried liq-
uor to Plymouth for landing and
that rum-runners had been received
on board. The defense made a gen.
eral denial and sought to show from
service orders that the 242 could not
have been in contact with the SHIPS
on rum row at the times charged.
Three other coast guardsmen, all
of the 242, face similar charges and
Immediately after the announcement
of the courts finding in the case OF
Haley, consideration of the case OF
Boatswain John H. McEnroe was
begun.

No Snow Turkey
Day in Northern
New England Area

burlington, VT. Nov. 23-(P)-
Small boys of northern New England
who have been hoping for a white
Thanksgiving have had their hopes
dashed. 1t began to snow in upstate
Vermont today and for while the
local weather sharps felt sure that
Thursday would be a regular old
fashioned Thanksgiving Day with
the fields and hills blanketed with
snow.
When the white blanket was an
inch thick and spread all across
northern and central Vermont and
New Hampshire, the sun came out
and the snow vanished. Eastern and
northern Maine had only light snow
flurries. Such snow as there is In
New England tonight was only to be
found on the elevations and in the
mountain notches.
At about the time the snow was
melting the weather bureau at Bos-
ton predicted rain for Wednesday
night or Thursday in both northern
and southern New England.
