e ship was definitely approaching They waited until 1t came close enough to make themselves heard then they all screamed out at once The ship continued on It's way and again there was despair, but sud. denly 1t began curving off It's course and was pointed at them. Its searchlights came to life and played over the heaving waves. At least the beam of harsh light fell upon them and they knew they were saved. After what must have seemed a complete age in time. they heard the grinding of oars in their locks and the slap-slap of the seq on the boats bottom. It was the life boat of the Baytown--com- manded by Chief Offlcer Olaf An. derson and fin Q few minutes they had been pulled in and soon were being hauled Up the side of the tanker--safe at last.
 It was after il D. m.-almost two hours after the Baytown had first sighted them. What they hadn't known until they were aboard, was that the first boat the Baytown had launched capsized at the ships side dumping its crew into the ocean These sailors had to be fished out before another boat could be launched.
 Had Useless Arm
 Perhaps most remarkable of the stories the passengers will tell to- day will be that of the youthful student, Talbot, who. with one arin in e cast and useless, managed tc keep himself afloat for ten hours irl a rough sea.
 With the five men and five women aboard. the Baytown's radio ap. pealed frantically and repeatedly for . doctor. The cutter Erie had q doctor aboard but the sea wal too rough for her to get along. side the Baytown within reason. able time. and the cutter Champlair put an officer and . pharaclst'f mate aboard and they supervised the administering Of first aid.
 Before the Chafnplain, Pontchar. train, and Erie abandoned the search last night, they had picked Up the life boat the sBytowr losta nd also one life preserver stamped with the markings Of the Imperial Airways Otherwise they had searched on empty sea.

that financial rights are more sacred than human rights is dicing with disaster" Father Coughlin asserted
 Tt is my opinion" he said, "that if this criminal unemployment crimminal less than living wages and criminal sabotage of American industry are permitted to continue without our best efforts having been put forth to cure their causes, the millions of unemployed will not be assuaged by our pleadings to hold fast to the constitution, to demo. cracy or to Christianity.
 "Radical remedies are no cure for radical abuses. While we argue among ourselves as to the best means to eliminate unemployment our opponents are united on pro- gram which aims at overthrowing our constitutional government of nationalizing our basic industries"
 In connection with national credit Father Coughlin asked:
 How many of us understand the weakness of a policy which lends credit dollars at interest to be used in purchasing bayonets, shrapnel shell holes and white crosses? Is 1t not true that after all this money has been spent nothing remains but wounded citizens, demolized homes decayed corpses and broken idealsp From what source then, do the lenders expect to obtain the money they loan for destructive purposes2 It appears to me--and I am subject to correction if I am in error 1t appears to me that no financial institution should lend million dollars in bank notes to a maniac who plans to use these bank notes as fuel in fireplace. The best re- turn the lender can expect Is tc gather up the ashes that remain"

ship spot on the state ticket.
 While Culhane opposed the Hewes' nomination, Quastaferri supported Smith and both of these candidates refused to withdraw on demand of their erstwhile supporters of the 1n- dependent Democratic club after this faction's candidates had been shunted aside at the probate and 18th senatorial district conventions.
 Now the union of Culhane and Guastaferri, the latter presenting patches of bills which the senator Is reported to have found inexpediert to his commitments of the future, raises question of where Guastaferri plans allegiance.
 Where the local situation Is con- cerned, the matters which bothered Chairman Smith last summer and caused his entry Into Waterbury af- fairs until a brief time before elec- ton when he stepped aside, appear affected by other Issues at the pres ent
 The question is not so much who will support Chairman Smith in Waterbury as how many will oppose him?
 Added to this is the impending conflict over the city manager ref- erendum, the merit system proposals, the nebulous candidates of such ex- organization Republicans as Con- troller Sherwood l.. Rowland, Alder man Thomas Bane, James P. Pur. cell, a new prospect for the Inde- pendent Republican nomination for controller should Rowland succeed in becoming insurance commissioner, or something.
 Echoes of the complex repercus- sions from November's election have taken new strength in the early maneuverings for October's cam paign.
 One factor, the racial group vote with the certain demand Of the Ital- an-Americans that the Republicans give their candidate top rating on the ticket, becomes principal bene- fit to the Democrats in prospect.
 But the division Of the Republican organization early enough this year might mean wholesale Republican vote for one of the changes in city administration, city manager-c -coun- ell, or merit system. The latter fac- tons efforts gave considerable im- petus to the Fusion ticket in Octo. Der, 1897, and the Republicans, fac- ing another minority run, might att tempt general disruption of major party political organization for . two-year moratorium" of govern. ment under purported "non-politi- cal" domination.
 However the turns go within the next few months, the position of Chairman Cmith in the Waterbury picture assumes complexities affect- ed by daily developments ct Hart- ford.

 Lightning gred the steeple of the First Methodist church at Winch endon. After fighting the blaze for three hours. firemen estimated dam age at 1000.
 At Mansfield, two COWS on the farm of Emil Goss were killed by lightning whic hentered the barn on @ wire.
 The roof was blown of the Sturdy Brothers company jewelry manu- facturting plant at Norton. Falling debris turned on the plant sprinkler system, boosting damage at $70o0.
 Trees and poles were blown down in metropolitan Boston, in some places carrying down telephone and electric wires. On the waterfront, surf pounded over the shore drive at winthrop flooding the road and halting traffic.
 The storm ended as suddenly as 1t struck. Within a half hour the sun was shining The temperature continued to fall, however, and at midnight had dropped 90 degrees from yesterdays maximum.
 The weather bureau described the storm as a line squall, often experi- enced at sea but rare on land. It was attributed to a fast-movlng mass of cold air sweeping in from the northwest collidingf with warm air. which was forced upward sud- denly. producing an unusual at- mospheric condition.
