Early returns from yesterdays

The constittuionality of the ad-

challenged by Senator Norris,

coincident with it's formal intro
duction in Congress.
Senator Bankhead, Democrat. Ala

committee made public the text of the
new plan shortly before it was drop
ped into the bill hopper. It's terms
were agreed upon yesterday at a
White House conference of cabinet Of
ficers and legislators.
"In my opinion Norris, a constitu
tional authority and member Of the
agriculture committee, commented to
newsmen, this bill is unconstitution-
al under the Supreme Court AAA de-
cision."
I'm willing to pass it and try it;
don't think it unconstitutional person
ally but under the AAA decision it IS
unconstitutional That is the law
now"
Bankhcad previously had expressed
the belief that the proposed act could
not be challenged because it carried
no taxes or provisions for written con-
tracts with farmers.
After meeting of the Senate APP
preparations Committee, Bankhead
proposed an amendment to the indie

 In second place, was the number 3 Swiss sled, driven by Rito Capad- sutt, holder of the two man course record. Great Britain was third fol- lowed by Germany's number l sled.
 Six teams made runs this after noon after the course was closed this morning for repairs when an Italian sled, which overturned rounding the treacherous Bayern curve, tore Q gaping hole in the side bank.
 Competition will end tomorrow with each sled making two more runs. The team with the fastest elapsed time will be declared the winner.

Temperatures were somewhat high CT yesterday but abnormally cold weather continued to-day from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Seaboard. North Dakota cities re- ported 20 to 25 below zero readings to-day while 1t was below in Chi- cago. Scores of Michigan cities were without adequate supplies of milk and coal. Grand Rapids had no milk at all. Highway crews worked furiously to open roads to dairy centers.
 Trains Halted By Drifts
 Trains were unable to buck drifts to reach the Michigan cities of Manistee. Grand Haven, Holland, Pentiwater, Whitehall, Shelby and Allgan. Coal was rationed in half ton lots in Allegan. Coal supplies for relief families were exhausted in 46 Iowa counties. Three Illinois counties reported acute coal short- ages. At Toulon all available coal was dumped in community pile and distributed a bushel at a time. Forecasts of local snow added to the problem of opening roads to bring in coal, food and milk to iso- lated communities in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa anI Michigan.
 Skis, bobsleds and a height horse team were used to bring milk to Wisconsin towns. Beloit, in the heart of the milk producing area, had less than five per cent of its normal milk supply during the past two days. Schools will be closed all week in Lake Geneva and Walforth to conserve fuel

 Parochial Schools Out.
 The legislators, in setting up the 1885 liquor control act, meant, ap- parently, to protect all schools from having taverns opened right up to their doors. However, the word public" was used and Judge Carl Foster of the superior court was obliged to rule recently in Bridge port that parochial schools were not protected hence the action of the Bridgeport zoning commission and the contemplated action here.
 Hartford Has Another.
 Incidentally, resolution is pend- ing before the Hartford common council providing that package store could not be opened within 1000 of another one. This restriction can be set up by c zoning ordinance. Hartford now has a zoning restric- ton which provides that taverns cannot be nearer to one another than 1000 feet. Waterbury has no such restrictions.

Mayor O. R. Pollard of Columbia. Md, ordered schools, churches and other public assemblies closed be- cause of 8 threatened coal shortage.
 The University of South Dakota at Vermillion was closed along with all rural schools in the state. A rescue party battled drifts to reach the town of Marcus in the Black Hills. The 200 residenst have been cut off from all communication for Q week. Residents of Mt. Auburn, Ia., volunteered to shovel through deep drifts to bring anti-toxin to Lewis Pohlman. i'll with diphtheria in an isolated farmhouse. After the first sunny day in three weeks, the deep south again experienced low temperatures to-day with freezing marks extending as far south as Jacksonville. Fla.

 The youths saved by the Harriet Lane were Manuel Bottello, 19, West Warwick, R. l., Tony Ray, 10, West Warwick, Thomas Malone, 18, Ports- mouth, R. T., and Nicholas Scunzio, 19, Thornton, R. I.
 They were asleep when the Har- riet Lane crunched in through the ice to Provincetown fisherman's dock almost 15 hours after they were picked off their foe, and had to be pounded to wakefulness so they could stumble to an an1bu- lance.
 Never Though They'd Escape
 T never thought we'd get here," Malone said.
 It was Malone who planned sui- eide to escape his tcrtures. He is Q slightly built lad, nervous, and before he went to the eco camp he had been down on his luck," he said. He didn't want to talk much about his emotions out on the ice, but his companions recalled his sufferings with sympathy.
 we all felt right close to the same way" Bottello explained. "There were lot of hours when we danced and sang and scuffled around on the ice, and looked toward the dark shore until our eyes ached, and wondered whether we'd ever get back.
 Close To Death
 "Our ears and feet and hands ached like they'd been pounded with clubs and we knew we were close to freezing to death."
 Botello is small, vivacious, of Ital- ian ancestry and during most of his recital of his adventure he grinned. But when he told of the hours just before dawn yesterday, just before an army airplane sighted the cast- aways and dropped food and cigar cites to them, he shivered.
 Sunday night we were awful cold" he said. we knew pretty certain that after 1t got dark we didn't have much chance of being rescued before daylight. We found some old blanks on the foe and some driftwood around the edges and we made a little fire. We couldn't have made 1t burn out there in the wind on the ice if we hadn't learned a lot of woods stuff in the eco camp.
 "The fire didn't warm us up much. The wind was so strong 1t blew all the heat away. When 1t died down we scooped up the ashes on blanks and heaved them up up the air. We hoped the sparks would be seen.
 Darker, Colder Than Ever
 After the fire was gone 1t was darker and colder than ever. We boxed and wrestled and danced and sang. and sat close to each other when we rested, to keep warm. We were sitting there one time and Tommy said:
 If they don't get us off by l2 o'clock, I'm going to jump in the water and end it."
 We all sat quiet a minute. be- cause I guess we all had thought about whether we were going to die and then we started to kid him out of 1t. He didn't say any more."

 American Minister Busy
 Washington, February 11-(UP) - Cornelius Van H. Engert, Aneri- can minister at Addis Ababa, is seeking release of H. B. Street and other American missionaries report ed arrested in southern Ethiopia, the state department was advised today.
 Full details of the reported arrests were not available. Engert reported on February 6 that street, believed connected with the Sudan Interior mission, had been arrested at Sha- ma and taken to Chencha, provin- cial capital of Sidamo. A Canadian member of the mission was also re- ported to have been arrested.
 Engert's cable made no mention of other arrests although other re- ports were that seven American missionaries had been arrested.
 Engert said the Ethiopian foreign minister had received no detailed report but believed the arrests may have been due to efforts of local authorities to induce missionaries to concentrate at certain points for their own safety. Engert said he had requested that Street be re- leased, if such action had not already been taken.
