If NEED PERSISTS.
Supplies of Those Cut Off by
Ice Are Sufficient for
Several Days.
AIRPLANES CAN CARRY
MORE IN 80 MINUTES
Coast Guard Cutter With Doctor
and Medicines Available One
Mile Offshore.

Preparations were made today for
further expeditions to succor some
1,4O0 Chesapeake Bay islanders ma
rooned by ice.
The populations Of Tangier and
Smith Islands, about 80 miles below
here, were not threatened immedl-
ately by hunger and general health
was reported good. but their plight
provoked relief action from several
sources.
Bad weather forced j. Millard
Tawes. chairman Of the Crisfield, Md,
Red Cross Chapter. to cancel the
flight he was to have made today to
take inventory of needs on the islands.
Colin Herrle of Red Cross headquar-
ters here said he was assured con-
ditions were not sufficiently desperate
to warrant taking chances" TaWes
will report to Herrle when he is able
to make the trip.
v. L. Spence. Tangier postmaster,
flew here yesterday to confer with
Herrle Today he told the Red Cross
official there was some suffering
among the poorest families, unable TO
buy food or get credit.
Gather in ArmOry.
About 100 islanders whose fishing
boats were frozen in the bay, prevent
ing their return to their families,
gathered in an armory in Crisfield.
Twenty-one new arrivals were re-
| ported.
Herrle said the islands had suffi-
cient food for "at least three or four
days and perhaps for week or more. F"
If this supply should run dangerously
low, arrangements have been made
for Army bombers at Langley Field,
Va, to transport about 10000 pounds
of food and drop it by parachute. The
flight from Langley Field would re-
quire only half an hour.
Other Precautions Taken.
If the ice continues for weeks, cut
ting of the islanders from normal
contacts with the mainland until STAR
vation threatens, Coast Guard cutters
will be dispatched from Norfolk with
supplies of food and medicine larger
than planes can transport. Provisions
could be transferred from ship to
shore by sled.
The cutter Unaga now is as close to
Tangier Island as the depth of bay
water there will permit. Coast Guard
headquarters said There is a doctor
aboard and medical supplies sufficient
for all emergencies, 1t was reported.
Ice is so thick islanders can reach
the cutter by walking across about a
mile of the frozen bay. The cutter
Antietam also has been ordered to the
vicinity.
DR.. Joseph Kreiselman. Washing
ton physician, was to leave for the
islands this morning in plane piloted
by George Brinckerhoff. They were
to take off from College Park Air
port between IL am. and noon.
Pneumonia on Tangier.
Two Or three cases of pneuomnia
were reported on Tangier Island
Equipment for its treatment was said
to be lacking. Oxygen tents have been
sent by truck to Crisfield and will
be taken by plane to Tangier for ad-
ministration by DR.. Kreiselman.

reaching importance.
The court also announced its will
ingness to review the constitutionality
of the securities act of 1888. which
provides for Federal control of Securi-
ties sales.
BY a majority of six to three. the
court decided the Great Northern
Railway Co. had been overassessed
some $l0,000,O00 in 1888 by the North
Dakota State tax commissioner. The
majority opinion, announced by JUS
tice Butler held the shrinkage in
value Of the railroads property during
the depression should have been taken
into consideration in making the tax
assessment. This decision was con-
sidered of great importance to rail-
roads throughout the country, which
have paid taxes on assessments they
claimed were excessive.
Tax on r. F. C. Stock Upheld.
The court also held that Maryland
could properly tax preferred stock of
the Baltimore National Bank held by
the Reconstruction Finance Corp. This
decision Is applicable to stock in all
reorganized banks purchased by the
r. F. c.
Another decision held that kidnap-
ing of police officer to avoid arrest
constitutes a violation of the Lind
bergh kidnapping law. The decision,
the courts first concerning the Lind
bergh law, was made in an appeal by
Arthur Gooch. under sentence of death
