Ten days later the water supply gave
out. The men had long before ceased
to shave SO as to save water. To satisfy
their thirst, the seanen hung their
clothing on the deck where 1t could alb
sorb the rain water and then wrung it
out. A week later the food supply was
exhausted, all that remained being a
sack of onions.
After II days without hope Of rescue.
the crew resigned themselves 60 going
down to the sea with their ship. A week
before they had sighted a ship and ex-
hausted all their flares in a vain at
tempt to attract its attention. But
they maintained a watch, and finally
through the darkness the lights of the
Aztec were sighted. The crew stripped
themselves of their clothing, soaked
them in oil and set fire to them. 1t
was their last hope. Finally the Aztec
was seen to change her course.
Soon after rescuing the distressed
party the Aztec ran into another storm,
and Capt. Brice said the Ria would
have been unable to survive the blow,
or at best she would have been blown
out of the ship channel and her dis
treSs signals would not have been OBJ
served.
The crew Of the Ria was landed at
Tela, where they were fed and clothed
by the United Fruit officials, and will
start for Boston from Tela on Sunday,
arriving here December 6. Capt. Doug
lass and his crew are all from Grand
Bank, Newfoundland.

ANSWER LA GUARDIA
SHIP LOAN PROTEST
Shipping Board and Alleged
British Firm Reply to
Challenge.
BY the Associated Press.

by the Associated RTeSS.
FROM Chairman O'Connor of the
Shipping Board and the Seatrain. lines
came challenge yesterday to a charge
Of Representative La Guardia that the
board had loaned construction funds to
British steamship company.
O'Connor's statement was in answer
to a letter from the New York Repu5-
lican in which the House member
warned the board against letting British
lines dip their fingers into the United
States Treasury.
La Guardia promised to bring charges
looking to IAN impeachment an indict-
ment or removal" as result of the
boards authorization of a loan to the
Seatrain company for constructing two
vessels to carry mail under a recent
contract with the Post ONCE Depart
ment
Hardin B. Arledge, representing the
carrier line here, in a letter to La Guar
dia, replied to each charge categorically,
and termed absolutely untrue" any
statements made to La Guardia that
trolled or that mail specifications were
drawn so only one company could bid
I'VE have not loaned money to a
British company" was O'Connor's terse
comment. IF there is anybody who
can prove that to the satisfaction of
the board, the action would be re-
scinded."
The La Guardia letter commended
that a contract such as that approved
with the Eeatrain Co. Friday could
not honestly he awarded" Officials said
the communication would be referred
to the board members tomorrow.
The New York Representative con-
tended the Shipping Board had rushed
the loan through because Of his pro-
test" The loan. authorized in two
parts. Is for, roughly, $2500,000, rep
resenting not more than three-fourths
of the construction and equipment costs
of two vessels.
The board said the ships, to be used
between New Orleans and Havana,
would be built by the Sun Shipbuilding
&; Dry Dock Co. at Chester. Pa, and
that Seatrain Lines, Inc, would take
over all assets of the Overseas Rail-
ways, Inc, its subsidiary. Board off,
Gals said the subsidiary operated the
lines one boat now under Canadian
registry La Guardia protested the
Seatrain concern was a British COM

land we find that food supplies which
we dispatched during the past "a hours
apparently have reached all known
groups Of Indians who were snow
bound"
Many Roads Opened.
Many roads have been opened suf-
f1ciently for travel by automobile, and
Supt. Hunter mad little difaculty in
making the trip f.om Fort Defiance to
zuni, through a section in which
travellers were snowbound earlier In the
week.
Snow again fell in the area today, as
two names were added to the list of
Indian dead. and rescuers strove by
every available means TO reach some
400 shivering, hungry Indians.
Reports from the Indians themselves
placed the dead at IL. and agency on
Gals had established seven known
deaths.
While q new 2-inch snow fell at
Gallup, the deaths of Mike Brodie 20
year-old student of the new Crown

Pinedale in short tricks from one Indian
dwelling to another.
Snow Lasts Four Hours.
The snow today lasted about four
hours. The sun came out brightly be-
fore shutdown.
From Washington there came evi-
dence that the Great White Father, the
Indian conception of the Federal Gov
eminent, was not unmindful of the
plight of his dusky- skinned wards. The
ONCE of Indian Affairs notified Supts.
John A. Hunter of the Southern Navajo
Jurisdiction and w. A. Trotter of the
Zuni agency to spare no expense in re-
lieving and rescuing the Indians.
The superintendent at Zuni and at
the Southern Navajo agency estimated
there are still 200 Navajos on. the
Cerro Alta Mesa and at least 200 more
or the Santa Rita.
Five trucks, with III Navajos who
sought shelter at the zuni agency,
passed through Gallup en- route to their
Navajo homes. Six hundred Navajo
storm victims we're to be moved from
their temporary shelter at Zuni.
Additional efforts we're made to take
forage to snowbound sheep and goats

GRAND JUR|ES BILL
MAY END VO|DANCE
Smith Plans Measure to Halt
Disqualification Protests
After Deliberations.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A bill that would prevent disqualif1-
cation on technicalities sof District OF
Columbia grand jurors will be intro
duced on the opening day of Congress
by Representative Smith, Democrat,
whose home is just across Potomac
River In Alexandria, Va.
With the recent wholesale voiding Of
police third degree indictments in mind,
Smith has drawn up a new set of
qualifications for grand jury service,
providing objections to juror must be
raised before the investigating body is
sworn.
Proposes Qualifications.
Twenty indictments, 19 against mem
bers of the Washington Metropolitan
Police Department and one against a
civilian, were quashed this Fall because
1t was found after a protracted grand
jury investigation that one juror was
a Spanish War pensioner, and, there
fore, disqualified because Of his Gov
eminent connection.
A pensioner ON grand jury in 1929
also resulted in voiding Of q murder
indictment drawn against Robert A.
Mcpherson, jr., after his wife died
from strangulation by pajama cord.
Qualifications for grand jurors, under
Smiths bill, would be United States
citizenship. residsSlce In the District
Of Columbia and age 81 years or over,
with felons excluded. Persons more
than SIS years of age would be eligible
for grand jury service, but would not
be compelled to serve.
Would Curb Objections.
The bill would permit persons named
in indictments to raise objections to
grand jurors only when commission of
the offense charged took place after
the grand jury commenced deliber-
ating.
Smith said he had made q study of
grand jury qualifications in various
States, and that his bill would follow
the general trend. The constitution
atty of similar measures has been
tested, he said.
A candidate for the District of
Columbia Committee, Smith has lived
across the river from Washington since
he commenced law practice rs years
ago. He served on corporation and
circuit benches before his election to
Congress in 1880.

"The elimination of careless and lax

governments, impaired credit of both
Federal and State governments; abuse,
violation and suspension, actual or in
effect, of Federal and many State sink
ing funds; neglect to carry through re-

THE truth is that the interest rate
on our Federal bonds is almost minor

They are virtually equivalent to cash
