INSTRUMENT
 GUARDS SHIPS


 Washington-.(UP)-The danger of ships running afoul of reefs and shoals in "bhnd" weather has been greatly reduced by perfection of the 'fathometer." . The instrument was invented by pr Herbert Grove Dorsey, of the coast and geodetic survey. Its working is described by the de- partment of commerce thus:
 The fathometer show how much water is under the keel, making 1t possible for the valleys and mountains of the ocean floor lit- eraliy to be felt by mariners. It takes soundings at the rate of four a second in comparatively shallow water.
 The ocean depth is gauged by measuring the time it takes sound to travel from the keel of the ship to the bottom and echo back. Sound travels through water at about 4S00 feet per second. The fatometer can measure time to a thousanth of a second.
 The fatometer recently discov- cred the George bank off the New England coast. as well as Corsair gorge. deep guiley in the Allan tic.
 Before the invention of the fathometer Is was necessary to slow or stop ship to take sound ings,

The unprecedented peace-time session of emergency legislation, higher taxes and such has frayed nerves of all concerned, Congressmen are weary and im- patient to go home or some place. Senator Wagner, democrat, N. Y., wAo has been offering relief legisla- ten in the senate since 1928, says he has q headache and can't sleep.
 The $f0y000 8 year gentlemen on Capitol Hill do things and then undo them. Senator Bingham, re- publican, Conn, obtained amend- mont of the relief bill to. author- ize further enlistments in the army, navy and marine corps. Tired sem atOrs voted ''aye' and the thing was done. Ten minutes later they changed their minds and threw the Bingham anendment into the waste basket.
 There are no, serious points of disagreement between the house and senate on relief.
 Senate conferees seek to obtain house consent to reorganization of the Reconstruction Finance Cor poratlOn board by removal of two ex-omcio members - Governor Eugene Meyer Of the Federal Re- serve board and Chairman Paul Bestor of the federal farm board. He desired also to increase it's membership to eight so that there would be an equal number of re- publicans and democrats. The senate refused to increase thesnttm- Der of directors. M

 They discovered today that their bill did not contain that provision, but that the house bill did. Senate conferees were urged to accept the house publicity provision.
 A before -breakfast telephone call yesterday morning from the White House to hotel removed the prin- cipal point of dispute in the relief situation. President Hoover had opposed the glass amendment to the relief bill whereby Federal Re- serve banks would be authorised to make loans to individuals and corporations on properly discount able paper when member banks refused to do so.
 Mir Hoover's telephone call to the bedroom of Senator Glas, demo- crat, Va, informed the virginian that the administration had with- drawn It's opposition.

Moscow. July IA - {UP) - A drought descended on Moscow to- day considered locally more seri- ous than the dry spells which oc- casionally afflict the grain, regions. The copitals Vodka supply ran dry. The shelves of the Soyuz- spirit government liquor trust, were bare. Special shops catering to foreigners and. other privileged inhabitants had only a limited sup ply.

REINDEER COUNCIL C0NCl luDES SESSION
L0h1EN GO. DEMANDS \ SHOW DOWN

sent to this section during the past two years, but as yet no
 decision has been given out by the government. This long con Mnued investigation. together with widespread propaganda through the press of the United States, nas uNel"peo into d very unfair per- secution. The question the Lcmeu interests put is. why delay and whom is the Department irving to protect? They insist that two years is a long wait for denIql or an affirmation of the acausa- tIonS. and they invite loca. i,- y"stieati"n inasmuch as the exec utive and administrative heads ~ the Reindeer Service are in Nome at this time. and they are ready to produce evidence to prove the falsity of the charges
 Alfred J. Lomen. member of the Council and Alaska Manager for the Lomen Interests, summed up the situation by stating thai there is sufficient evidence avail lie to prove either that the Lo- n,,:as are criminals or |, prove Ernest Walker Sawyer a knave or a tool. He also charge tle Rein 'per Service with spre"dins false md malicious propaganda, declar ng: "I can well understand why he Reindeer Service dc"s not re- ish an open hearing"
 He further stated that if charges against the Lomens' are true. if < d far more serious indictment gainst the Reindeer Service than gainst the LomenS' as the Ser ice is derelict in its duty if it 'ermits the alleged illegal acts to ontinue without nstitutng vigor- us prosecution.
 When the meeting convened on he third day. Carl Lomen asked he following questions of the Chairman and the Federal Rein Ger Superintendent, who consti- utes the executive head of the leinderr Service answered them:
 1 How did the matter of the 'omens' removing from the Tel er range arise?
 Question was was answered as ollows: "Through an offer made y the Lomens' themselves to the Committee in Washing on''
