spokesmen were jubilant at the
seizure of the oil properties, in
spite of the disastrous effects al

While the workers jubilantly
hailed the seizure as precedent

fear spread among foreigners that
the appropriation of oil holdings
would spread to other foreign

moves would be based upon the
fact that Cardenas caStigated Tor

HUNDREDS SEE.
MEN DIE when
RAFT WRECKED
Last Raft" Was Comment
Grating Passing of
Old Trade


Rescue crews ceased graphing
last night for the bodies of six
men hurled into the Susquehanna
River when 112-foot raft struck
a concrete bridge pier. A seventh
victim died of shock and expo
sure.
All but six of the 48 passeng-
ers and crew members who were
spilled into the water when the
raft crashed into a Reading rail-
road bridge near here were &C
counted for after a canvass of
Riverside homes where survivors
had been treated.
The raft, built of $4,000 tim
bers, was floated March Is at Nc
Gees Mills, Pa, near the head
quarters of the Susquehanna's
west branch. It's 400 mile trip
down river to Harrisburg was to
commemorate the passing Of a
generation of rivermen who fer
ried huge RATS down the swift
flowing river before the railroad
ended an ara.
The dead man was identified as
w. C. Van Scoyoc, IS, Philadelp-
hia. He had boarded the raft at
it's launching and was friend Of
its sponsor, r. d. Tonkin, Tyrone,
Pa.
Those missing and believed dead
were Thomas Proffitt, Universal
Newsreel comerman, Chester, Pa. ;
DR.. Charles F. Taylor, 33, Den
tist,, and Burgess of Montgomery,
Pa; Harold Berringer, 30, Tyrone,
Pa, member of the crew; Harry
Conner, IS, Burnside, Pa; Chief
Pilot. Malcolm Mcfarland, Cow
anda, Pa, and w. w Holly, At,
Bradford, Pa.
Nearly IS passengers had board
ed the raft at Williamsport Sun
day morning. Many were taken
off by river craft after a short
ride. Forty-eight remained on
board and were thrown into the
lev water when the lead section
of the three-part raft crashed into
the pier.
Connors, who was manning the
bow sweep, stayed at his post IN
an attempts to avert the accident,
and was catapulated into the con-
crete pier. He sunk before rescu-
ers could reach him. Proffitt, &C
cording to a survivor, was filming
crowd scenes and was unaware of
the impending crash. A flying
timber from the small, roughly
made pilot house behind him,
struck him in the back of his head
and he sank beneath the water
still clutching his camera. -
Five survivors were treated at
Muncy Valley hospital for shock
and exposure. Many others dried
clothing at nearby farmouses or
were treated on the short by
rescue crews from Muncy and
from Williamsport, IA miles up
stream.
Several hundred persons VINO
lined the shore to watch the "last
raft" pass by, witnessed the acct
dent. The raft, built in three sec
tons for flexibility around river
bends, had veered in the swift
current toward highway bridge.
Crewmen prevented collision but
the raft was thrust sidewise into
the stream and carried into the
Reading railroad bridge.
Nearly all passengers were
wearing heavy clothing an d
boots. A great toll of life was
prevented by small river craft
which rescued all but those be-
lieved missing
Graphing crews worked under
floodlights, with little expectation
of recovering the bodies from this
section of the river, where it Is
swift and deep.

A hearty. open-faced lad from
Henderson,, Tex. The high school
sweetheart he loved had gone to
Texas u, and now his heart was
breaking because she had found
new love in the other school. He
just had to talk about it, just had
to ask advice. And Sara Sue was
paid to listen. 1t was Sara Sues
personal worry for a while. She
liked Walter Preston. He was
wholesome, clean. She wanted
desperately to help him.
There were others, too, and they
all required sympathy and tact. It
was pleasant, interesting work,
and it made Sara Sue feel more
mature than she looked or acted.
She was blessed with that knack
of winning peoples confidence cas-
lily; mainly because she showed
character in her face, dependable
character. Some faces are just
pretty. Some are pretty and fine,
and Sara Sues was one of these.
People trusted her.
Most pleasure of all, she had
discovered, came from trying to
remodel DR.. Thornton Holgate, the
mathematics instructor. He, was
her best pupil, however incongru-
Gus that situation really was. She
wanted very much to help him
make good, and he was intelligent
enough to be apt at learning. She
noted on her calendar that she had
an engagement with DR.. Holgate
at 10 tomorrow morning. He could
sandwich an hours conference be-
tween classes, at a time of day
when few if any of the students
would be free to visit the Davis
cottage. Her tutorship of him was
still in strict confidence.
IT WONDER" thought Sara Sue,
tapping pretty teeth with her pen

then, doggone him, she would put

That got her mind back to SAM

He was handsome enough, she

the day before. He was of pretty
