Surprising enough, there never
has been sufficient legal machinery
to jug screwball boatmen. The in
spectors have frequently wept CO.
piously upon our broad shoulders
with regard to a toothless old law.
Penalty for improper operation
OF motorboat is set at $4,000. No
alibis or fast talk accepted in lieu
thereof. That's dandy
For all the other sections of the
new law, however, the fines are
500, and even they can be sus-
pended by the secretary of COM
merce If you can pull a wire or so.
Present regulations covering fire
extinguishers and lifesaving equip
ment will remain unchanged for
one year.
A new regulation pertaining to
more strict and systematic licenses
for motorboats carrying passengers
for hire-an angle heretofore very
conspicuous by its absence is
slated to become effective in 1941.
Certificate of numbering must
be posted conspicuously and per-
manently aboard every motorboat
II feet long and bigger.
incidentally, motorboats will be
divided into four classes, by length,
and regulations for lights. bells,
whistles, etc, are imposed accord
ingly.
Inasmuch as complying with all
the foregoing entails no fee. the
sole purpose of motorboat regula-
ton is to afford people and prop
erty a maximum of safety and
protection. There never yet has
been too much safety afloat.

private enterprise gets along

On Recess
"War of Nerves" on
Question of Recess of
Congress Until After
Election.

Washington, Oct. 10-(AP)-Stalc-
mated over the recess question,
House Republicans and Democrats
watched each other clos ely today for
signs of d break which would permit
them to go home for d few weeks
before the November elections.
ITS war of nerves" an increasing
number of members complained in
the clOakrOoms and corridors. They
protested that almost everyone, salts
fled that almost ali major legislation
has been taken care of, was ready
10 go home.
Democrats wanted a long recess
until November 18, but lacked votes
to swing it Republicans for the most
part also wanted to get away for
the next five weeks. However, they
could not get the Democrats to agree
to their plan for permitting party
leaders to reconvene the members IN
case of an emergency.
Speaker Rayburn accordingly an
nounced yesterday that the House
will stay in session from day to day
and see what works out.
The situation in the Senate was
only slightly less complex. However,
Majority Leader Barley stated that
an attempt would be made to take
a recess from Friday until Monday,
then from Monday to Thursday, and
en- an until November 18.
Senator McNary of Oregon, Repup-
lican leader, said that such scheme
would be satisfactory because on
any day a majority of the senators
could discard it.
In any event, it appeared certain
that barring an emergency neither
Senate nor House would transact
any important business during the
next five weeks.
