Sanctions Experts today discussed the
possibility that Italy would obtain SUBJ

League embargo on that product.
French experts emphasize that Italy
probably would be able to use such
substitutes as alcohol and benzine and
that, consequently, an embargo might
be ineffective.
The French said that Italy would
be able to procure substitutes from

boat Travis, steel-hulled and radio
equipped, was within short distance
of Tangier Island. having smashed its
way through the ice from Norfolk

here had no recent information on the
crafts position. but said its shallow
draft permitted it to get within a quar-
ter or half mile of the island.
The Travis will attempt to open the
channel from Crisfield Md, to Tangier,
and with its radio can re-establiSh
communication from island to main
land. Tangier has no telephones. tele-
graph or radio Bay ice has halted
mail collection and delivery.

The Travis replaced the cutter
Unalga, larger boat unable to ap-
proach the island closely because of the
depth of bay water The Unalga re-
turned to Norfolk for fuel oil and
supplies.
In Crisfleld Harbor, the 75-foot
patrol boat GG-l74 has been operating
to keep the harbor clear of ice. The
tug Saukee and the patrol boat

to assist relief expeditions. About 125
fishermen from the islands are strand

their wives and children are in no
danger. Some of these fishermen have
no money and have been forced to RELY
on the Red Cross for food and shelter.
They are being quartered in the Mary

fishermen back to the islands by plane
