MANY FISHERMEN
 DROWN IN BOSTON
Eighteen of Them Go Down as TraWler Crashes
 Into Anchored Barge
BY LEWIS MARCY United Press Staff COrreSpOndent

Boston, Jan. 21-(UP)-Eighte fishermen drowned and five were rescued dramatically after clinging to frozen rigging for three hours early today when the Boston trawler Mary E. OHara rammed an anchor ed barge and sank in outer Boston harbor.
 The barge--the Winifred Sheridan was one of three enroute from Nor folk, Va, to Searsport, Me. The Sheridan'S starboard side was dam aged but she remained afloat
 The disaster, which occurred in pre-dawn murk, was described by Edmund Dunn, president of the New England Fish Exchange, as the worst in the 310-year history of the harbor.
 The rescues were effected by the Boston Trawler North Star, which drove her bow against the protrud- ing mainmast of the submerged O'Hara and plucked the half -froz- en survivors from their precarious perches in the ice-coated rigging.
 Eleven ships dispatched to the scene by coast guard division head quarters reported no trace of the other 18 crew-members, many of whom, frostbitten and exhausted, had dropped one by one into the sea after clinging to the rigging as long as possible.

29 PARKING TAGS
 PLACED IN A DAY
Drive on Meter ViOlatOrs Expected to Gain MOmen=
 tum; One Gets 2 Tickets

The police distributed 29 parking tags yesterday, in their first drive to educate the public in observing the parking meter ordinance, and indications show this drive will gather momentum, with an ever-m- creasing parade marching into po- lice headquarters to pay fines.
 Many motorists claimed that III inserting coins they first turned the handle, then deposited the coin. The meter consequently does not regis ter. Deputy Supt. Daniel J. Carson said drivers should follow the direc- tions printed on the back of the meters before they insert a coin.
 A. Castaldo, of 89 Wall street, Tor rington, had just paid a dollar for a tag when he walked back to his car. Another tag was attached to his windshield. He immediately returned to the police department and complained to Lieut.. John Dunphy, desk officer, that he had placed a coin in the meter. The man was told to see Traffic Officer John (Jingles) Donahue and re- turned with the officer to his car. After showing him where he had placed the coin, Office Horsh1s tore up the ticket.
 The man had clocked the meter in the rear of his car, instead of the front.

KENNEDY SPEAKS
 ON BRITISH AID
Tells What He Believes Is Best to DO-Tinkham
 Again Talking

Washington, January 2l. - (UP) Joseph P. Kennedy, retiring am- bassador to Britain, suggested today that small congressional commit tee be set up to work with Presi- dent Roosevelt in administering the proposed British-Aid program.
 Testifying before the House For eign Affairs Committee which is considering the administration aid-to-Britain bill, Kennedy said:
 Tt seems to me that if Congress would say it had some small com lnittee that would function with the President, and in which it had confidence, that would provide CO., ordination. No organization can function that is spread all over the lot"
 Kennedy, who was called to testi- fy by opponents of the adminiStra- tion bill, also advocated that time limit be written into the measure. A limit on the amount of mony which could be spent for British aid automatically would follow" he added.
 Similar Plan
 Coincident with Kennedy's pro- poSal for a congressional committee to share administration of the Brit ish aid program, Governor Harold k. StaSsen of Minnesota suggested a similar plan in a speech before the council of state governments here.
 StasSen suggested that a supreme defense council be created, which would consist of the President and the Democratic and Republican leaders of both the House and Senate.
 Kennedy agreed with Representa- tive Hamilton Fish, Republican, New York, that American conveying of supplies to Britain would be an act of war. He suggested that tic bill ban conveys except when 6pecif- ically approved by Congress.
 He returned to the subject of con- voys later when he was asked by Representative George Holden link ham, Republican. Mass. what would make war inevitable for the United States. He replied:
 Sending our Navy over to fight for them, conveying ships, and hay ing our ships blown up.
