sharks when their motorboat cap
sized in the Catalina channel early
today, Dr.. Alfred I. Wilkes, so. was
drowned and his son. Barney. %.
was bitten before rescue craft
reached them.
The son fought off the sharks
for several hours. holding the bad
ly bitten body Of his father on the
capSized craft.
Constable l. Moricich said the
bodies of the men plainly showed
the marks of sharks teeth, ana
added it was the first instance on
record of such an attack in local
waters.
DR.. Wilkes, attached to the staff
of Georgia Street Receiving hos
pital in Los Angeles, and his son,
left San Pedro for Avalon at p.
m. Friday. Half way across the
channel their gasoline gave out
and the motorboat. at the mercy
of the waves, capsized.
The men clung TO the bottom
throughout the night and at dawn
DR.. wilkes, showing signs of dis
tress, lost his grasp.
As the younger man pulled his
father back on the boat, a huge
shark cut the waves and grabbed
DR.. Wilkes by the ankle. The blood
evidently attracted other sharks,
for young Wilkes said nearly a
dozen circled the drifting boat.
Rescued BY Fishermen
Again DR.. Wilkes slipped into the
water and was bitten in the side

landed on the bottom of the boat,
then slid off. Young Wilkes, fight
ing desperately to frighten the fish
away, was bitten on the ankle.
The crew of the purse seiner EX-
cellent finally rescued the pair
and brought them to Avalon. DR.
Wilkes was dead when picked up,
apparently due to exposure and
drowning. The younger Wilkes
was taken to Avalon hospital where
it was reported his condition was
not serious.
Constable Moricich said he had
no doubt that the two men were at
tackled by sharks.
THE younger man saw the big
fishes plainly, particularly the one
that leaped upon the boat" Nor
icich said.
The marks of teeth on both the
men undoubtedly were caused by
sharks.
I'VE were inclined to doubt it al
first as there has never been an
other case of such an attack by
sharks in the channel

LONDON, July l0.-The British
governments policies for economic re-

which brought criticism by Prime
Minister Stanley Baldwin Of features
Of the United States New Deal.
The House of Commons rejected,

man, to censure the government for
its handling of the unemployment
question.
Charges U. S. Failure.
Baldwin, defending his program in
his first important speech in Commons
since he became Prime Minister for
the third time, said President Roose-
velt's policies have failed up to the
present to bring about a natural re-
covery of trade"
In what was interpreted generally
as criticism also of Lloyd Georges

win said:
If there is word which has been
ridden to death today it is the word
plan I have seen nothing of plan
ming by any foreign country which
would lead me to think it is uni

Question Of Expenditure.
The Prime Minister expressed op-
position to large expenditures for pub
lie works, asserting: I'VE have always
doubted whether state expenditure
would bring about a revival of in
dustry. We are Of the opinion that if
1t did not, such an expenditure would
be disastrous
