More effectively than any naval

The Moscow radio, in broadcast
picked 'up here last night, reported
that a severe storm in the Black
Sea had paralyzed all navigation.
No ship had left a Russian Black
Sea port since Tuesday, the broad
cast said: wireless stations were re-

had been fighting their way to port
for three days in the teeth Of the
gale. They had been given up for
lost, the Moscow station said, but
communication was re-established
with them and other ships were
sent to their rescue.
The temperature at Moscow had
reached a record low Of 40 degrees

Reorganization Of Federal
Bankruptcy System in
State Ordered

New Haven, Conn.,, Jan. l2-(UP)
"A Reorganization Of the Federal
Bankruptcy system In Connecticut
was ordered To-Day by U. s. District
Judge Carroll @. Hincks who. ap-
pointed two full-time referees to ad-
Minister the state.
The full appointments were those
Of John Keogh, for Fairfield and
New Haven counties, and Saul Ber-
man, Hartford, for all other counties
except Litchfeld.
It was uncertain at this time as to
who would administer Litchfield
County where Referee Walter F.
Torrance said today he understood
he would be replaced.
Judge Hincks already has accep-
ted the resignation of Thomas G.
Flood as referee at Middletown, and
David M. Richman, at New Haven,
and 1t was understood the positions
of two others at Willimantic and
Norwich would be affected similarly.
Heretofore, referees were on a
part-time basis and could engage in
private practice.
The reorganization was made to
prohibit private practice, so that
more time could be devoted to the
work. The salary of the new referees
will not exceed $4,000 a year and
will be on q fee basis, as in the past.
Richman and Torrance. under the
new plan, win continue In office for
two years to clear up pending mat
tiers, but may retire before that time
