Mr.. Simpson charged in a state

buying up choice, high-priced scrap
collected at filling stations and
boarding huge quantities. He said
there are 100000 tons OF scrap

"Mr. Simpson went out on limb

which was absurd to begin with,

There are no 100000 tons OF

Responding for the Latin Ameri-

clared:
THE time has come to show that

Janeiro, approved unanimously, are

ciples proclaimed as essential for

Specific objectives of the meeting
we're outlined in their general terms
by Conference Chairman Foley.
Warning that "the fifth column
OF the Axis Is carrying on a myriad
of activities to harm the interests
Of the American republics" he de-
clared: 1T is our task to establish
a common program for withholding
our resources from the Axis and
the areas which it has overrun or
dominates. We must prevent the
Axis from acquiring our goods and
services. We must prevent the Axis
from carrying on financial trans
actions either directly or under the
cloaks of neighboring countries. We
cannot hope for full success if such
Axis transaction are controlled by
one American republic but not by
another; if fugitive funds can pour
from one American republic to an
other where the Axis taint can be
cloaked and the funds used for
financial and commercial transac-
tions inimical to the interests of all
the American republics.

Mr.. Hundley is accused Of selling

Economic Breakdown

Hemisphere Conference

From Il Republics

Charging that human termites''
representing the Axis have been at
tempting to undermine the economic
structure Of the Americas, Undersec-
retary Of State Welles today called
upon the first inter American con-
ference of economic and financial
control to take action which would
maintain in the Western Hemi-
sphere "its liberties and its inde-
pendence."
Mr.. Welles opened the conference,
which was attended by delegates
from all 20 Latin repub-
lies at the Pan-American Union
shortly before noon. He was followed
by DR.. Leo S. Rowe, director general
of the Union, who also greeted the
delegates. Senor Manuel c. CAL
lagher. noted financier and repre-
sentative from Peru, responded for
the delegates.
Mr.. Welles was present in his
capacity as chairman of Inter-
American Financial and Economic
Advisory Committee. Later he
turned over the chair - Edward H.
Foley, jr., general ct .nsel for the
Treasury Department and delegate
from the United S ties who was
elected permanent airman OF the
conference.

Purpose Is Important.
In welcoming the delegates Mr..
Welles emphasized that the confer

further their common purpose. to
maintain this hemisphere forever
free from any encroachment upon
the independence of the peoples Of

bers Of his race from the grand
jury.
Then a special all-Negro grand
jury indicted him. At the trial he
was sentenced to two years in prison
and the State Supreme Court up
held the conviction, saying he had
no more right to complain than a
white man would have for being in
dicted by an all-white grand jury.
His lawyers, however, contend that
IAN all-Negro grand jury had been
selected as a subterfuge to evade"
Haraway's constitutional rights and
that he was entitled ito a grand
jury selected from the entire district
without discrimination"
1T was highly improbable, If not

Judge Directs Verdict
For Rector and Others
In Paton Will Case
Evidence Fails TO Show
Dr.. Darlington Made
Love, Court Finds
b, the Associated Press.


WHITE PLAINS, N. Y. June 30
Surrogate Charles D. Millard today
directed q verdict In favor of the
Rev. DR.. Henry Darlington, rector
of New York City's Church OF the
Heavenly Rest, and other proponents
of the will of the late Mrs. Anna
H. Patton, which left a 80 per cent
share OF her 81 300 900 estate, later
reduced by taxes to $650,000, to the
clergyman.
Mrs. Patton died in 194l at the age
of 78. Three of her relatives con-
tested the will on grounds that the
53-year-old rector unduly Influenced
her by making love to her over q
l0-year period.
DR.. Darlington's fashionable Prot
estant Episcopal Church also was
bequeathed a 10 per cent share.
Compromise Provides Transfer.
A compromise agreement made
last year. however, provided that DR..
Darlington would transfer one-half
of his share in the estate to Rudolph
Rauch, nephew of Mrs. Patton, and
a major legatee. The rector's legacy.
in the form of trust, thus would
amount to approximately $4,000 an
nually.
In directing the verdict the West
chester surrogate declared:
There is no direct evidence to
show that any influence was ex-
erted upon her by DR.. Darlington
''' DR.. Darlington was the re-
ligious adviser Of the deceased. and
for 13 years she was member and
a staunch supporter of his church"
The surrogate also said that the
evidence established that Mrs. Patton
was intelligent, strong willed and
entirely capable of managing her
own business affairs almost down to
the day Of her DEATH"
Those who sought to break the
will we're Mrs. E. Hollingsworth ST.
ter, sister-in law of Mrs. Patton, and
two nieces, Mrs. Mary S. Owen and
Mrs. Elizabeth S. Pemberton, all Of
Philadelphia. Under the will the two
nieces received $4,000 each and S.
Hollingsworth Sitter $4,000.
Rector to Go to Camp.
After the verdict the rector said
he would 60 to Camp Smith.
Peekskill, N. Y. to serve as chaplain
in the New York Guard for the
rest of the summer and would re-
sumo his duties at his church this
fall. He has been on vacation since
before the trial started.
The will provided that DR.. Dar-
lington should receive Mrs. Paton's
country estate Nirvana at Irving
ton-on- Hudson, but under the COM
promise this property would 60 to
Mr.. Rauch.
A 20 per cent share in the residu-
ary estate went to DR.. Richard
Townley Patton of New York. a
cousin of Mrs. Paton's late hus-
band, but under the compromise Mr.
Rauch would receive per cent of
that share.
Originally bequeathed 40 per cent
OF the residuary estate, Mr.. Rauch
now would receive 81 per cent
through the compromise which was
reached before the will contest was
instituted.
Counsel for the contestants said
an appeal would be taken.

LONDON, June 30.-Bremen,
Germany's second port and sub
marine base, was heavily
bombed" last night, the third at
tack there in five nights, the Air
Ministry announced today.
Last night a strong force OF
our bombers was over Northwest
Germany" a communique said.
Bremen, their main objective, was
heavily bombed"
The use of the term strong
force" was taken to indicate that
about 300 planes probably were en-
ployed in the attack, the 9th Of
the war on the port which was
still smoking from the two latest
previous raids.
Airfelds in German-occupied ter
ritory also were attacked and
/ fighters "on intruder patrol" at
tackled railway targets in France
and shipping off the French coast
was the chief target.
The Air Ministry said nine bomb
ers were missing from the nights
! operations.
The Berlin radio, which said fires
were started in residential sections
of Bremen by the RAF, claimed 10
raiders were shot down.
Last Thursday night Bremen was
the main objective of a force Of
more than 1000 bombers, the third
four-fgure raid by the Raj in less
than a month, and Saturday night
a smaller force attacked the port.
On the home front a small num-
ber Of German aircraft raided the
East Midlands and East Anglia
during the night Bombs we're
dropped in scattered places, but at
no place was there a concentrated
attack, the British reported.

cautious as could be, knowing 1t
would be much easier to maintain
the boat in its present excellent
condition than to try to recondition
it should we puncture the sides
through careless maneuvering. To
this end I found 1t necessary to re-
peat frequently my warnings of the
danger attendant from shirt and
trousers buttons, careless handling
of gear, and even quick and incau-
tious moving of our persons, which
would cause unnecessary scuf1ling or
wearing of the fabric.
Occasionally I would dig in the
tool pocket for the small bottle of
rubber cement and touch up any
frayed spot where it looked as if
the fabric might be weakening in
the vicinity. This treatment not
only retarded the fraying action on
those parts, but showed us the spots
that were most vulnerable to wear
owing to our moving about in the
boat.
AS time went on and our gallant
little rubberized fabric boat showed
no signs of serious wear, or deterio-
ration of any kind, soon acquired
the greatest Of confidence in her.
She rode the waves like a veteran
ocean-g going steamer.
The only time she would take

holding the side of the boat. Each
of us stayed in about S minutes,
dunking up and down. It made us
feel SO much better that we then
decided to keep deliberately wet dur
ing the heat of the day, flicking wa
ter on each other. We had our
swim in quite gingerly fashion, los
ing no time hopping back into the
boat, for there were lot of sharks
around. We talked this over, and
finally I vetoed the idea of any more
swimming.
Sharks were always near the boat.
Most of them were small, it is true,
but they were always in evidence,
and I could never be sure that
large one was not somewhere about.
1 have heard many arguments pro
and con as to whether shark would
attack a human being in the water,
but l did not feel that we should
take chances. Later we were to get
mighty convincing evidence, in sew
eral instances, that they are dyna-
mite, and not to be trif1ed with,

AS time went on, though, our dis
positions became rottener and rot
tener. I, being older and more
experienced, blame myself more
than either of the others for the
times toward the last when my
temper got out of control. There
were occasions, I'm ashamed to
admit, when my greatest exaspera-
ton was over the fact that I had
nothing in the boat to throw. On
the whole, though, We managed to
get along very well, and even had
some pleasant times with such little
diversions as we could invent.
Worried About Leaks.
The boys were both pretty much
afraid at first that our boat would
soon spring leak and sink. With
out the air pump, which was lost
with the plane. we had no means
whatever of keeping up the air
pressure if any leak developed. I'll
admit that I was none too happy
about this situation at times.
I kept warning the boys to be
careful about fraying or inadver-
tently snagging the fabric with any
sharp metal, or the buttons on their
clothes. 1t was all-important that
We show the greatest possible care
for the sides of the air compart-
ments of our boat So We were as

water to any important amount was
when a big comber broke directly
into the boat. Then about to 10
gallons of white water would pour
down on us from the break of the
crest. That always meant a good
soaking of everything in the boat,
including us, and a job of bailing out
again.
The bailing we accomplished by
taking off our clothes, sopping up
the water with them and wringing
them out over the side, then wiring
ing out Our clothes again before put
ting them back on.
When the wind had held steadily
in one direction for period of few
hours, all the swells and surface
waves would run in the same direc-
ton, quite evenly and with steady
motion. Every sixth or seventh wave
would be the big one that broke.
After that everything would die
down to lull-then start building
up to another breaker. These gave
us very little trouble until the wind
got up to around 20 knots and the
breakers became heavy.
But just after a shift of wind it
would be different story. The big
swells would run with the former
wind direction, but the surface
waves, being wind formed, would
now be going in a new direction.
When these opposing forces met,
there was terrifying commotion
which resulted in many nasty
drenchings.
When off watch and lying in the
bottom OF the boat trying to get
some rest, it would be more than
annoying to get face full of cold
and heavy salt water, thrown with
the force of bludgeon. Because of
this and also because of the smaller
waves which were continually
punching at the thin cover of fabric
that formed our bottom, it was i'm
possible to get anything approach
ing rest except during the latter
hours OF a protracted, dead calm,
when all surface waves had died
down. These periods were rare, and
gave us other things to worry about.
Swim Brings Relief.
The second day we had time IN
appreciate the dawn. When the big
tropical sun ball peeked over the
gray horizon, our dismal world be-
came instantly beautiful. and our
dropping spirits never failed to lift.
Tony would sing out, Time to put
on the pot!"-and Gene and I never
lost a second in searching with our
eyes the farthest blue and gold
reaches OF our suddenly expanded
ken. 1t was at dawning that we
stretched our stiffened muscles, and
worked warm new life into numb
and aching members. 1t was always
then that our spirits were at their
highest, for each new day brought
new hope and new variation to re-
lleve the long monotony of the
cheerless night.
This good humor usually lasted
until the friendly sun shortly turned
into a malevolent brass ball of heat
that baked us pitilessly inside our
wet clothes like fish wrapped in
leaves to broil.
At about noon this second day we
could stand it no longer without tax
ing the last measure for relief that
was left. We stripped then, and, one
