Throughout the area as whole
the Institute found approximately
one voter in six undecided or with
out a definite opinion on his choice
at this time.
The vote In the remaining sec

Central states, 81 per cent Demo-
cratic; South. rs per cent Demo-

SURVIVORS TELL STORY

Most of them suffered from shock
but some were burned.
The commander of the French
rescue ship, telling his story, said:
Last night the Orazio was still
and sent a radio mes
sage urging all nearby ships to be
on the lookout for one life boat,
filled with passengers, which was
lost soon after 1t was put into the
water.
I'VE hunted and found one
life boat In which several sur
vivors were almost exhausted.
Despite the violent seas and
wind we saved the occupants Of
that boat and another one, =
total Of As including 25 women,
three children and IL men.
Unfortunately we learned that
one life boat carrying about As
persons had drifted away in the
storm and when we left the scene
there was still no trace of 1t.
another lifeboat was upset
As 1t was launched, but the
Italians said 1t was empty.
"One after another the rescue
ships left the Orazio. We remained
to the last circling it, seeking pos
sible survivors despite the seas.
Finally at 1890 q. m. we left the
Orazio, still afloat and still burning,
and headed for Marseilles."
An Italian survivor whom Italian
consular authorities forbade to give
his name said:
Fire alarm was sounded at B
o. m. Sunday. Passengers all
quit their cabins normally and
quietly, putting on their life
belts, and went on deck await
Ing the orders Of the captain.
He gave the order to lower
boats.
There was terrible gale which
made the lowering of boats most
difficult.
The fire broke out in the bow
and spread swiftly, driven by the
winds. Fire doors below deck held
the flames back and the ship was

blow the flames from II.

"When the first relief boats
arrived women and children
were put In boats first, but IL
was a most difficult Job in the
rough seas.
1T was only when was aboard
a rescue ship that I could see how
serious the fire was. At that time
both ends were aflame and the fire
was gradually approaching the
ships center"
The survivors, stories ap-
peared 70 agree that the fire
Was started by an explosion in
n heavy oil motor In the engine
room and that the flames
spread through the heavy oil
pipes.
Survivors said that at least five
men were killed by the explosion.
The wind was so high that the
flames spread before the ship could

was behind il.
When survivors were landed
French sailors went aboard rescue
ships and distributed blankets. A
hotel was specially reserved for
them and surgeons awaited them.
Only three were found to be SER

BARCLAY ON BRIDGE
BY Shepard Barclay
THE Authority On Authorities

South. who therefore made only
two overtr!cks.
A. c third table West led the
spade s. the Q losing to the A.
South sent a heart to the A and
East returned a spade. West get
ting two tricks but blocking the
suit. so that South made one over
trick.
At a fourth table West led the
spade 10. the best lead. The Q
covered and lost to the A. When
East won then with the heart A,
he led his spade to the and X.
and West returned the s to the 6,
giving East a chance to run
enough spade tricks to set the
contract.
Poor South was downcast about
being the only player who en-
countered that defense. But it was
his own fault. When East returned
the spade 5. he might have played
low. West could have won that
trick with the 8 or K. If with the
latter. he would then have had to
present South a trick with the J,
and if he won it with the s. his K
would have blocked the suit and
South therefore would have made
his contract plus an overtrick. But
suppose East had held the K and
returned that 5 anyway? Then
South's play would have been the
J. That raises the question of how
likely East would have been to do
that with such a holding. Your
guess is as good as anyone's else,

SLOW Drivers
TO BE WARNED

The unreasonably slow driver who,
through confusion and congestion which
his tactics create, constitutes a road
menace almost as serious as the
motorist who drives too fast, is due for
his day in court along with speeders
and other traffic law violators.
Eden Rowe, chief Of the state high
way patrol, today announced instru-
tons to all patrolmen that hereafter,
when it is safe to do SO, the patrolmen
shall stop the slow driver who IS i'm
peding traffic and pull him off the
highway so that traffic may pass a.
normal speeds.
In addition TO being forced off the
highway, such deliberately and danger
ously slow drivers viii be issued do
not repeat" warning tickets and a re-
petition of the offense VIII subject
them to arrest, under the state laws
which make it an offense TO unneces-
sariIy impede normal traffic.
