Search Fails 10 Locate
Mystery Vessel
b the Associated Press.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. Aug. s.
Ships and aircraft speeding on a
rescue mission off the lower Florida
east coast found no trace today of
a mystery ship which sent out a
fantastic series of distress messages
during the night.
A plane from the Miami Coast
Guard base scanned calm seas for
more than three hours in the vicinity
of Key West-one of four positions
given by the unidentified radio
operator who reported his vessel was
afire and sinking.
Various commercial and Coast
Guard radio stations received the
name of the ship repeatedly as
iDunkwa, but the only vessel regis
stered by that name, British oil
tanker, was reported at Rotterdam
: 1t. v. o. Johnson, pilot of the
Coast Guard plane, said he had
discovered nothing to indicate
whether the frequently incoherent
messages were based on fact or
fancy. The Coast Guard, however,
decided against further search by
air unless new information were
received.
Early today the sender of the
SOS calls said the crew had taken
to lifeboats and the craft was sink
ing 80 miles southwest of Miami.

1Ydings Fair Trade
Bill Hit by King in
Minority Report
District Measure Would
Increase Prices,
Senutor Contends

The Tydings fair trade bill for the
District was described as "indefen-
sible" by Chairman King of the
Senate District Committee In
minority report he prepared today.
The bill has been sidetracked until
next session, but the Utah Senator
made public his views in answer to
a favorable report filed last week
by Senator Tydings. Democrat. of
Maryland, from the subcommittee
which studied the question. The
bill would authorized manufactur-
ers of trademark articles to make
contracts with the retailers fixing
the minimum resale price of such
articles.
This bill is allegedly advocated
for the sole purpose of preventing
loss-leader selling-a practice far
less common than its proponents
claim" Senator Kings report de-
clared. In its present form, how
ever. this is obviously not its true
intent. There are ways in which
loss-leader selling can be prevented
without such serious injury to the
consumer"
Other reasons given by Senator
King for opposing the bill include:
Because the President has request
ed Congress to postpone action until
surveys of the question by the Fed
eral Trade Commission and the tenn
porary National Economic Commit
tee are completed.
The bill has been represented to
have for its purpose the protection of
the independent retailer against the
chain stores. In fact, however, it is
supported wholeheartedly by the
chains as well as the independents.
If it should be enacted the victims
will be the public and not the
chains" the report continued.
Senator King also contended that
the bill would raise prices and sup
press competition.

Memorial Parkway
Funds Stricken Out,
Other Steps Surveyed
High Real Estote Costs
In Montgomery Cited
As Barrier to Hurdle

Officials in Montgomery County
today inaugurated study to deter
mine the effect the refusal of the
House Appropriations Committee to
allocate matching funds will have
upon the development of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway.
The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission sought to
match the $l50,000 made available
by the county for purchase of rights
of way needed for developing the
park between the District line and
Great Falls, but the congressional
committee omitted the amount from
the third deficiency bill filed yester-
day.
Irving C. Root, chief engineer for
the Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, said that
his commission and the Montgomery
County commissioners probably will
meet to discuss the possibility of
making some land purchases in the
park area with the $150,0O0 in bond
money which the county commits
sioners recently made available for
the park project.
He pointed out that restoration
of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal,
Immediately adjacent to the park
way, is increasing the value of
adjoining property and immediate
action should be taken to acquire as
much property as possible if the
county money can be spent before
a Federal appropriation matching
that sum is approved"
Mr., Root. who appeared before
the House Appropriations Commit
tee few days ago, said committee
members apparently had no objec-
ton to the park project itself, but
appeared reluctant to make the ap-
preparation at this session.
1t was indicated by the commit
tee, Mr.. Root said, that the appro-
priation would be made at the next
session of Congress, opening in jan
uary. The engineer declared that a
real estate boom in progress in the
western area of the county might
greatly increase the cost of &C
qulring land for the park, unless
some of the land tracts are pur-
chased at this time. He said many
homes are going up in the general
vicinity of the project, while plans
are already being made for the es-
tablishment of convalescent hos
pital in the park area itself.
