New London is confident that it's football team, the Ockfords, Whaling City entry in the Eastern Profession al Football league, will put a dent in the record of the Nutmeg A. C. eleven of this city Sunday afternoon when the two meet at Memorial field in Willow Brook park, this city, in the opening league game of the sea son.
 The New London manager is bringing a squad Of 29 men to this city. Among this crew are the mem bcrs of team that has played to- gethcr for the past two years and the solid body of a team that has been together for four years and more. The crew is well drilled, has a whole bag full of baffling plays, sports a line that is heavy and full of fight and a backfield that is speedy and accurate. The Whalers are efficient on forward passes and the locals will have to have a de- fense of the air to come through and win.
 Manager Bernard Conley of the Nutmeg team, has gathered together an imposing crew of players. The line gives the appearance of being almost impregnable. With Poltis and "Unk' Conlcy at the ends, So bieck and Gallagher at tackles: Humphrey and Beloin at guards and Rogers in center, the fans of this city are to see a real charging array in action.
 In the backfield, there are plenty of speed artists including Baut Grin. Buckley Tasker and Silent John" Davis.

WORRY CAUSED OVER MEASURE.
 FARM RELIEF
House and Senate Confer eeS Expected to Meet
 Hoover's Edict

WASHINGTON, May 31.-Con- gressionai interest is focused in Farm Relief.
 Senate and House conferees are to renew conference as this is re- garded as forecasting the Senate zurrender on the debenture clause, but this point has not yet been decided.

 Bottom of River

JERSEY CITY, May 31.-Rescue workers are seeking the bodies of six men of ten entombed in the bed of the Hackensacken River when compressed air escaped from a cais- son in which they were working and thus letting it full of mud.

SCIENTISTS MAY SURVEY BERINC SEA FISHERIES
Work May Be Done by h. ternational Halibut Com
 mission, Says Klein


 It is hoped by the Department Of Commerce that the International Halibut Commission may find some means of surveying the halibut and cod fish banks in Boring Sea, said Acting Secretary Julius Klein, in a letter received by Secretary Karl Theile. He acknowledged the re- ceipt of a memorial of the recent Alaska Legislature which asked that such a survey be made.
 MT. Klein said the Department is in sympathy with the memorial. The Bureau of Fisheries, however, is without funds to make the sur vey.
 Continuing, the letter said:
 Tn view of the fact that the de- velopment of a new fisheries area for halibut would relieve the strain on the existing banks, some of which are badly depleted, and fur ther that the preservation of the halibut of the North Pacific is the concern of the International Hali- but Commission, I am hopeful that that Commission may eventually find some means whereby it may comply with your request
 The International Halibut Con- mission, composed largely of scien- lists, has been engaged in a study of the banks off British Columbia and Southeast and Southwest Alas ka for several years. It has re- ported some of the older banks badly depleted and it is believed that an agreement will be reached shortly by the United States and Canada closing number of them.

 In France a method for such vac cination has gained wide foot hold. The danger in it, said Dr. S. A. Petroff, of the research labor atories of Trudeau sanitorium, is the unsuspecting presence of dead ly, virulent germs associated with the apparently harmless ones in these cultures. Dr. Petroff de- scrbied experiments for detecting the presence of the two kinds of germs and studying their effects.
