through the pilot house that stopped
the engine. They were unable to
get the motor started and drifted
all the way across to Point Arden.
Just before the vessel struck, they
cast off in the dory and made shore.
Later the Caroline drifted up on
/ the rocky beach and with the out
going tide the men were able to go
aboard and get their blankets and
some food. They had been getting

been miserably wet all the time due
! to lack of shelter.

Woman Senator

Woman Senator
1t looks like southern fire-eat.-
err has come into the Senate in the
person Of a woman-Mrs. Dixie
Graves. She is lady Of strong and
positive personality-she says what
she thinks and in unmistakable lam
guage.
The feminine solon has ripped out
against the Anti--Lynching bill evil
IDENTIFY thinking this would be the
popular course, since for SO many
years men from her section have re-
mained in power by kicking again
and again the helpless Negro. But
Senator Dixie Graves drew sharp re-
torts from her own sex. It seems
that some enlightened white women
do not share the senator's view
point on mob law; and they have
said so regardless of what the wom--
an senator may think.
1t is healthy sign for American
life when women. who have been
downtrodden in governmental affairs
for centuries, can rise above sex and
take stand for fairness and justice,
even against one of their own and in
So important a post as senator, when
the situation warrants.
Senator Dixie Graves, successor to
Ku Kluxer Hugo Black, who now
awaits a chance to say as Justice
Black OF the Supreme Court whether
he thinks the bill he fought in the
Senate is constitutional, is not so
popular, in spite of the fine publicity
build-up she got at the start Of her
senatorial career. There are women
left in the country who know right
from wrong, and who are not afraid
to condemn wrong, even if wrong
be advocated by the "flower of
southern womanhood.

there was hell to pay when the wood

LONDON, April "a threatened

with reported plan by tax-angered

cause for worry tonight.
The busmen warned they would quit
work May l in demand or a 7la hour
day, joining several thousand trans
portation employees in 10 nearby coun-
ties who have struck for pay increases
and shorter hours.
Unless they can be notified before
