2 LOST ON BAY AS

Bowers Beach Fishermen In Skin
Sought BY Coast Guard--Feared
Drowned.

With a northwest gale whipping
the water of the Delaware Bay into
high choppy waves, two fishermen
from Bowers Beach are missing in
a light 2S-foot skiff, and, as the
Chronicle goes TO press, were still
being sought by a Coast Guard life
boat crew and a patrol boat from
the Fenwick's IIsland station.
The missing men are Oliver Boone
and Ted Thomas. who left home
Wednesday at n. m. to fish for
hardshell crabs in the channel near
the Miamaul lighthouse. When they
failed to return before the snow and
wind storm, which broke shortly
before dark, Wednesday night, Mrs.
Boone, wife of one of the young men,
called the Coast Guard Station at
I.ewes.
She expressed fear for the safety

were still searching for the lost boat
at noon on Thursday. At that time
they had found no trace of the boat

At that time the wind was blow

overturned and the men drowned,
The storm was accompanied by
snow. which. it is feared, blinded
the men. There is some hope that

Avoid the filling of lighted lamps.
Avoid the use of kerosene TO nsht

kerosene results in the generation
of gases which are very explosive.
Do not use gasoline, naptha, or
bezine for cleaning. Use some OF
the safer solutions now ObtainaDle
and these, in any considerable guam
tity, only out OF doors and during
the day.
Keep all open flames away from

The launching of direct trade

the governments farm relief .,
ministrat;on, headed by George N.
Peak.
This administration has sought
to negotiate deals between the
Soviets and Aml lean producers
for disposition of American live
stock and cotton SurpluseS.
The negotiations may develop
to a point where Russia will take
the entire American SurpluseS in
these two important farm pro-
ducts.
Trade with Russia will be re-
Sumed upon the basis of an eX-
change of products, if present
negotiations are successful. The
Soviets will take live stock and
cotton in exchange for wood pulp
and manganese ore. The indi-
vidual American concerns, enter
ing the trading agreements, will
dispose of the Russian products
in this country.

FARLEY REPEAL
PLEA RAPED

The charge that Postmaster
General Farley was using his
Cabinet and other official posi-
tions to coerce action against the
Eighteenth Amendment was made
by the Anti-Saloon League today.
Through it's general superin-
tendent, DR.. F. Scott Mcbride,
the league unleashed a vigorous
attack embracing a yelled hint
that Farley was acting under Or
derS of the New York Democratic
unit, Tammany. DR.. Mcbride
said:
"Mr. FarIey's threat to pun
ish voters by imposing addi-
tiOnal income taxes if they fail
to repeal, and his plea to party
workers who know that Ae
dispenSatiOn of patronage is in
his hands, IS probably unprece-
dented in all the history Of
political alliances with liquor"
Farley could not be acting for
President Roosevelt in advocating
speedy repeal, the statement went
on to say, adding that this was
true because the President of
the United States has no constitu.
tional duties in connection with
amendments to the Constitution" ."
Mcbride added:
"Can it be that Mr.. Farley
is acting in behalf of Tammany
Hall in an effort to bring the
entire United States under the
domination of New York
democracy with the financial
and political help Of the liquor
intereStS?"

Ernst Durig, noted Swiss sculptor
with a studio in the 1900 block Of

his wife to have wandered off in
a sudden attack of amnesia.
Nine. Durig says her husband
left the studio about 1890 p. m.
Thursday, saying he was going to
call on a friend.
The friend told her today that
Durig arrived at his house about
10:45 that night and stayed an
hour or so. He seemed worried
and upset but showed no signs
of a mental lapse.
The Durigs came here from
Switzerland about IL years ago.
About two years ago the artist
fell on hard times and was threat
ened with eviction from his studio.
In a frenzy he seized a pair Of
