Legislators Irk Baldwin

Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 1-(UP)- Gov. Baldwin threatened today tC make special radio broadcast tc bring the pressure of public opin" ion to bear upon the legislature to stop battling over patronage" and do something about the four emer- gency war orders which lapsed last midnight.
 Partisan wrangling resulted in failure of the General Assembly to renew the emergency authority giv- en him by the 1943 session to sus- pend any laws interfering with the best war efforts. Inasmuch as only four of some l8 suspended laws were affected, these statutes auto matically went back on the books at midnight and, according to the governor, created some confusion as to just how matters stand.
 The orders permitted buSses tc carry more than the legal number of passengers, allowed banks to make loans to veterans under the GI bill of rights, women to work in restaurants after 10 D. m., and al lowed industries an extra day each week to make up payrollS.
 Gov. Baldwin and legislative lead CTS held a long conference late yes terday and the governor reportedly told them that the people were more interested in having them take care of the states business than in maneuvering for political advantage.
 To the Democrats. who have in- sisted that he be deprived of the emergency suspension power until after the legislature adjourns, the governor told them 1t was more ex- peditious to leave the matter in the hands of the chief executive.
 The legislature, he pointed out, was in session only four days a week and hardly could deal prompt ly with an emergency arising in the meantime. He cited the present fuel crisis as an example.
 Both Senate and House have bills relating to the authority. The House measure would continue to vest the authority in the governor, while the Senate measure delayed the renewal until after the legisla- ture adjourns in June. Senate Democrats claim the emergency au- thority infringes upon the rights of the General Assembly while 1t IS in session.

but their rescue came as a surprise. According to their calculations they had not expected their delivererS for several days more.
 Borneman said that one of tho chaplains In the Corregidor group died last year of dysentery. Oliver was held in solitary confinement for a month and punished fol smuggling notes out of the camp. Most of the chaplains were trans fered to Japan last year.
 For many months" he said, "the, Japs wouldn't let us bury our own dead but we could have services inside the camp. The Japs ofter put 20 prisoners in common grave dropping them in like cordwood."
 All during the imprisonment the chaplains conducted regular religi.. ous services. However, they were forced to submit their sermons to the Japanese in advance for ap- proval And while the sermon was being delivered an interpreter stood at the chaplain's elbow to see that he did not vary from the approved text
 The rescue of the prisoners result cd from receipt of intelligence re- ports which revealed the existence of the camp.
 The commando column moved out of the main American lines with ajl cover and struck at night under the leadership of Col. Henry A. Mucci who was awarded the Dis tinguished Service Cross for his part in the operation. All other officers received the Silver Star and the men won the Bronze Star for their accomplishment.

Bitten
Three Ships
Reach Port,
Fourth Near

Mackinac Island. Mich, July IL
AP-Three OF the six boats still in
the Port Huron to Mackinac yatcht
race had crossed the finish line
here today, while a fourth was re-
ported sighted offshore.
The Manitou, 53-foot craft own
ed by James H. Grove OF the Crosse
Point Club and the Apache, a As
footer owned by w. D. Cmeiner OF
the Detroit Yacht Club crossed the
finish line early this morning to
join the Bitten, which finished
Monday afternoon.
Ted Coggin, measurer for the
race committee, said neither craft
suffered any damage while battling
its way through the Saturday night
storm that forced "a OF the 40 boats
out OF the race.
Coggin said, The Last Straw, a As.
foot craft owned by Charles f.
Buysse of the Detroit Yacht Club
was sighted offshore shortly after
a. m. (EWT) today and that she
was expected to dock within two
hours.
Two other boats are still on the
lake, the Shamrock and the Hos
tess II, but Coggin said the Hostess
apparently was not in the race.
He explained that the craft sought
shelter in Harbor Beach Sunday
and said its skipper went ashore to
telephone.
Because he went ashore, he was
disqualified from the race under
our rules and | don't think the
committee is going to make any
exception" Coggin said.
He said the skipper OF the Hos
tess, Kenneth Stanford OF the Chi
cago Yacht Club, told the commit
tee he was forced to seek shelter
when the boat began to ship water
at the height OF the 25-mile gale.
Coast Guardsmen at the Mack
mac Island station said the Mani
tou came into port shortly after
2 a. m. (EWT) and that the Apache
followed her In in less than an hour.
Racing officials said official win
neIs would not be listed until the
committee has checked the time of
each boat against It's handicap. Un-
officially, they said the Bitten, So
foot Detroit cutter owned by Ernie
Crates and Murray KNAPP Of the
Detroit Yacht Club. was the winner.
The Shamrock which also put
into Harbor Beach when the rain
and wind storm scattered the boats
on Lake Huron was not disqualifi-
ed. He explained that the 50-foot-
er owned by Bob Kerr and Eddie
Wunsch Of the Bayview Club had
not sent any crew member ashore.

Bengals Break Four Game
Losing Streak, Raise Lead

New York, July 17-AP-The De-
troit Tigers broke their four game
losing streak Monday and with an
assist from the st. Louis Browns
raised their American League lead
to three full games.
A seven hit performance by
pitcher Stubby Overmire enabled
the Tigers to edge the Yankees
here 9 to 4 while the Browns
smacked the second place Senators
twice at Washington.
The twin defeat cooled off the
Senators hopes OF grabbing off
first place from the Tigers, who
had dropped the first four games
Of their eastern road trip.
The Tigers, whose offense had
begged down in their series at
Boston and the series opener with
the Yankees, unleashed a II hit
barrage against Bill Zuber and
grabbed a 8 to 0 lead before the
last half OF the eighth came along.
Overmire spanked the offense
with two hits-one a double-and
got some potent assistance from
