Yacht
Hits Australian Reef;
All Safe as She Sinks
Salvage Nay Be Possible
Brother in Connecticut
Is Told by Telephone

3, the Associated Press.
HARTFORD, Conn, Oct. 19.-The
yacht Director II, carrying l8 men,
bers of the Fahnestock Expedition to
the South Seas, struck reef about
three miles off Gladstone. Australia,
today and sank, Bruce Fahnestock
said here tonight.
All aboard escaped without injury.
Mr.. FahneStock, who returned from
the expedition a month ago, talked
to his brother, Sheridan, and his
mother, Mrs. Mary Sheridan Fahne-
stock, after the accident, reaching
them by telephone at Gladstone. He
quoted them as saying they believed
the 137-foot diesel-equipped schoon-
er could be salvaged and repaired.
The Director II, with Mrs. Fahne-
stock-the only woman-and her
two sons aboard, left New York
February l for the South Seas to
record aboriginal music, study bird
life and chart remote island areas.
The expedition was sponsored by
the American Museum of Natural
History.
Sheridan told his brother: TT was
1:2O pm Sunday (their time) while
the Director II was proceeding from
Brisbane to Gladstone, that it was
swept onto a reef after entering the
pass for Gladstone in heavy
ground swell three miles off the
beach of Gladstone. The water was
broken across the channel, and SO
discolored that coral was not Wis
ible 1t was violent weather"
Bruce said Sherman was hopeful
the yacht might be salvaged and re-
paired in three or four months, and
Immediately began salvage attempts.
Bruce, director of the expedition,
left it at Suva, Fiji, two months
ago to come home on business trip.
He was to rejoin it a month from
now at Tulagi, Solomon Islands.
He pointed out that the hurricane
season is about to begin in the area
where the ship struck.

assortment has fallen to the lot
of Board No. 13, handling the 1898
registration cards signed by regis
trants who jammed the downtown
Thomson School and Cardozo School
last Wednesday. This was the larg-
est registration total for any area
in the city and represented more
out-of-town registrants than any
other.
Harvey Bean, chairman of Board
No. 13, said last night that 935 out
of town selective eligibles' cards had
been weeded out by members Of his
board, and they represent practi-
cally every State in the Union"
I'VE had one registrant from An
chorage, Alaska" he revealed, "one
from Panama, and even a purchas-
ing agent from Great Britain got
caught in our net"
Mr.. Bean said when the job Of
asserting out-of-area cards is COM
pleated the total will run well above
1000.
Moves Complicate Task.
Other areas reporting exception
ally high out-of-area and out-of-
town totals included Nos. IS, 7, II,
IL and 18.
Several of the boards have been
visited by registrants who have
lost their certificates Of identifica-
tion In most cases temporary notes
are being issued, with the view Of
making out replacement certificates
later. Other boards have been faced
with the problem of reassorting
cards of registrants who have moved
from their areas since registration
day
officials have emphasized that

may consider affect his registra-
ton standing should be reported
to his draft board.
Among the areas in which boards
already have begun typing lists
with serial numbers are Nos. 20, "a.

have preferred to await receipt Of

Somehow each year an erroneous
report is circulated to the effect
that Glacier and Yellowstone Ma

Marines Real Battles
Rival Movie Thriller

Film thrillers, which depict the
u. S. Marines engaged in some IAN
ciful adventures, have become
stock product of the movie studios,
but real battles of the sea soldiers
have rivalled those of the screen.
Fights with Chinese bandits,
long hikes through the jungles, and
incidents occurring in the tropics
or at sea have often approximated
the real life of the Marines, says
Sergeant James L. Fountain OF the
recruiting station at Great Falls.
However, he points out, some OF
their most exciting adventures have
occurred far from the movie lots,
Klieg lights and cameras OF Holly
wood.
A scenario writer could depend
almost entirely upon factual nap
penings in producing spirited tale
of the sea soldiers. Their occupa-
ton of Nicaragua a few years ago
furnished a noteworthy example.
In the northern part OF that re-
public a small group of marles was
completely surrounded by q vastly
superior bandit force, and fought
off every attack for more than fiji
teen hours.
During an interval in the fighting
the bandit leader demanded sur
render, pointing out that the ma
rines' water supply was nearly ex-
hausted.
Back came the answer: Marines
do not know how to surrender, anc

An article in the October Cosmo-
politan throws much light on Fifth

District Democrats
Back Third Term
And Representation
Stote Central Committee
Gets Dorr's Request
For Primary information

The Democratic State Central
Committee for the District Of CO.
lumbia last night went on record
for third term for President
Roosevelt, and plank in the party's
next platform in favor of national
representation for the residents of
Washington.
AS the committee gathered at the
Harrington Hotel and fixed Wednes-
day, June S, for primary to elect
the local delegation to the national
convention, rumblings Of discord In
local party ranks appeared in the
form Of letter from Seton Darr,
president of newly organized In
dependent Democratic Association
of the District of Columbia.
The letter set forth the purpose
Of the organization to work for a
free and open primary election, and,
to that end, called on the Democratic
Central Committee for list of de-
tailed information about arrange
ments for this years primary.
Letter Goes to Committee.
At the conclusion of last nights
executive session, Malcolm s. Nc
Conihe, District national commit
teeman, announced Mr.. Darr's letter
had been referred to the committee
to be answered. He added, however,
his own comment that the primary
being arranged by the Central Com
mittee "is an open primary" and
that the Central Committee func-
tions under the rules of the national
convention.
Mr.. Darr said today his letter was
not movement to put rival slate
of candidates in the field.
I'VE are not interested in that"
he said.s 1--WE are interested In the
broad principle of the vote for the
District, and we believe this Is an
opportunity to show we are capable
of conducting an election, by having
an open, competitive primary"
For that reason he said he was try
ing to get all the information possible
as to how the Democratic Central
Committee operates, in order to bring
about competitive primary, either
by congressional legislation or by
action of the Central Committee.
To Publicize Filing Deadline.
Officers of the committee said a
legal notice would be inserted in
the newspapers within a few days
fixing the time within which can
didates for delegate or member
ship on the Central Committee

of the primary the filing fees are:
For delegate, 5000; for member Of
the Central Committee, $25.
The District has six votes in the
Democratic National Convention,
and four years ago it elected IL
delegates, each casting half vote.
Russell Balderson, businessman,
was elected chairman of the Gen.
tral Committee last night, filling
the vacancy created when United

nounced early. yesterday he was
stepping aside and would not seek
