 Acting on President RooseveIt's orders, Admiral H. G. Bowen, tech- nical aide to Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox, formally took over the shipyards in the name of the gov ernment yesterday. He entered the plant without military escort and, officers said that it would not be necessary to have a military force since both company and union agreed to the governments seizure.
 He received promises of coopera- tion from the Industrial Union of Marine and Shipbuildings Workers (CIO), which had called a strike August ', and the management, whose refusal to accept a recom- mendation of the National Defense Mediation board, that would have ended the strike, resulted in the governments action.
 There were no indications as to whether the government would &C., quire the plant permanently or merely operate it for the duration

The search for the bodies was re- sumed early this morning after fruitless efforts that lasted far into the light.
 The two youths who were the ob- ject of search were: Antonio Turzo, 19, of 137 Bradley avenue and Will liam Fanucci, 21, lodger at 590 Sylvan avenue. The rescued man, Anthony Ciarelli, 25, of 235 Congress avenue who was steering the light craft, was taken from the water by tyo youths who sped to the scene in a motor boat.
 Sudden Wave Overturned Boat
 Witnesses of the tragedy said a sudden wave churned by another boat overturned the inboard racing skiff opposite the Whittemore cot tage some distance from the shore. Many of the residents at the resort said that where the boat capsized, the water is more than AS feet deep and may be the deepest in the lake.
 State police worked this morning until after l o'clock and resumed operations early this morning. A staee police emergency truck was brought to the scene of the acci- dent last night from Hartford and assisted in the search for the two bodies.
 State Toopers At Work
 State Troopers John Dunphy, Norman N. Davis, Edward F. Chris tian and Timothy Foley used grap- bling hooks and underwater equip ment which were supplied by the To- cal police department and the state troopers.
 According to word received the two youths were apparently trapped beneath the boat as 1t tipped over while Cairelli was catapulted clear out of the craft.

Prime Minister Churchill in His Speech Said Hitler
 Feared U. s.
BY H. L. PERCY


 United Press Staff Correspondent London, Aug. 25. - (UP)-Great Britain, by declaration of Prime Minister Winston Churchill, arrayed herself "unhesitatingly" today alongside of the United States in warning Japan to abandon her ag- gression in the Far East.
 Churchill, breaking his silence on historic meeting at sea with Presi- dent Roosevelt, warned Japan in the course of half-hour radio ad- dress last night, to come to terms or face the combined strength of Britain and America.
 He reafflrmed the pledge he signed with the president, to crush Nazism, but shed little new light on their dramatic meeting.
 The big question posed by Brit ons-how near is the United States to entry into the war?-was skirted by Churchill with the statement that only one man, Adolf Hitler, knew.
 Hitler Fears U. s.
 Churchill asserted, that Hitler was afraid to make war on the United States, although che has murdered half a dozen countries for far less pretext." He added that Hit ler's policy was to go after other countries one-at-a-time.
 He praised the United States navy as having already saved the vest ern hemisphere from German domi- nation.

Workers Desetinu
Farms for Defense,
Investigators Told
"a
But Many Would Prefer
To Go Back to Lond,
Says Nebraska Youth
BY the Associated Press


OMAHA. Nov. ga 21-year-old
lathe operator in a factory turn
ing out shell castings told the House
committee investigating defense mi
grafton yesterday how he was
squeezed out of farming but kept
wishing he could go back to the
land.
He was William Donnelly, whose
testimony dramatized the statistics
OF previous witnesses who reported
thousands of young men were leav-
ing farms for defense jobs.
Donnelly was reared on a 160-
acre farm near Neigh. Nebr.. which
his father operated 81 years. He
lost the farm in the drought year
OF 1884 and became tenant farmer
near Albion, Nebr.
Fails to Get Farm Job.
When young Donnelly finished
high school two years ago he told
how he tried to get a farm lob but
failed and could find no means of
starting his own farming opera
tions. Last spring he got a Job
with the Omaha Steel Works and
married his high school sweetheart
But he said prospects of saving the
$4,000 to $4,000 needed to start
farming were pretty slim on his s2e
a week average.
About half of the new factory
employees are farmers. he reported
and half of them share his desire
to return to the land but can't.
DO many of them think they
don't want to put up with farm
life?" he was asked.
Still Optimistic.
mo. I don't think So" he said.
Most of them wouldn't like to live
the way most farmers In Nebraska
have to live now, but they think
they could do better If they could
just get started"
Nebraska's Gov. Dwight Girls
void predicted the States popula-
ton losses probably will be per-
manent and that they may increase.
With machinery and larger units
the farm population seems bound to
90 down.
