 Other searchers dragged the bot tom of Park Lake on the chance the youth may have gone swim ming and drowned. He was clad only in bathing trunks when he vanished at 1 P. M. Saturday.
 The boy, the son of MT. and Mrs. A. R. Blossfeld of Teaneok, N. J., was seen last wandering near the north shore of Park Lake, which Is in Passaic County, Il miles from north of Pompton Lakes.
 Searchers aided by Searchlights flashlights and lanterns continued the search all last night in an at. tempt to find the scantily-clad boy before he Succumbed from exposure.
 Bloodhounds of the New York State Police Department were brought over from the Hawthorne Barracks yesterday to aid in the search. But they were handicapped by the fact that the missing child wore no shoes and the scent also was carried by the parents of the boy.
 The boy disappeared without a trace. rescue parties composed of members of the Presbyterian Sum- day School class who were attend ing the picnic, first took up the search.
 But as time passed without find- ing any trace of the youth, New Jersey State Police from the Pom- ton Lakes Barracks were summon. ed. Police from West Milford town. ship, and volunteer flremen from the area also joined in the hunt. .
 The New York State Police were asked to help yesterday and the Hawthorne Barracks sent Sgt. w. w. Horton and the prize blood- hounds, Queenie and Pinkie. How ever, the area was tranpled so badly that the dogs gave up after several false starts.
 The missing boy Is the oldest of the Blossfeld's two children. He was a sister, Marjorie, two years old.

Wolcott, June 17-John M. Plante, 2S, a discharged Army veteraff who saw service in the India Burma Theater, and his 21-year-old wife of three months, Mrs. Yvette w. (Michaud) Plante, of 146 Laurel Street, Bristol, were found dead in their cottage on Spindle Hill Road near Cedar Lake yesterday after noon.
 pr. Irving S. Platt of Waterbury, found that Plante and his wife had died of accidental carbon mon- oxide poisoning.
 Plante, discharged from the Army in January after three years of service including months in Burma, and his wife, whom he married March 4 last, were spending the weekend at their one-room, 9 by 12 feet cottage on Spindle Hill Road, Wolcott, according to Dr. Platt and Policemen Irving Rob- erts, Gordon Culver, Howard Kraft and John McKenna of Wolcott. Their bodies were discovered shortly after 1 P. M. Sunday by Plante's brother, William, who went to visit them.
 Tried To Escape
 According to Dr. Platt, the Plantes did not have stove for heating in their cabin and some- time Saturday night Plante, in an attempt to break the chill, brought into the room from an outside fire- place a pan of embers and small pieces of tarred wood similar to charcoal which he placed over a pail of sand as a precaution against fire. The three windows and the door of the cottage were closed tightly and the burning charcoal consumed the oxygen in the room and developed quantity of carbon monoxide, Dr. Platt said.
 Plante, the medical examiner con- tinued, evidently was awakened dur. ing the night and attempted to open the door as his body was found near the entrance. Mrs. Plante was found dead in bed.

Soboth Hits Vetoed Bill
 Case Supporters
 Revive Measure

Washington, June l7-(UP)-Rep. Adolph J. Sabath, (D.-Ill), today protested against cheap politics and collision" as supporters of the vetoed Case Bill sought new ways to revive the measure for permanent strike control.
 Sabath Is chairman of the House Rules Committee which some mem- bers say may make 1t possible for the House to add the vetoed Case Bill to the Administrations tem- porary strike control measure or to minimum wage legislation.
 Both bills are before the Rules Committee and probably will be given some discussion at a cornmit- tee meeting tomorrow although de- finite action appeared unlikely ur- til later in the week.
 Sabath said Mir. Truman could not sign any bill having the major provisions of the Case Bill attached to 1t, and that it's chief proponents were trying to "haress and einbar- raSs the President" L Sabath declared that reaction ary Democrats" in the House were getting advice from Sen. Robert A. Taft, R.-O)
 "They 90 over there and find out from him what they should do" Sabath said. Its an unholy alli- ance that won't do any of them or anybody any good"
 He said he hoped that the Case Bill advocates would not demand Q nasty committee rule that would permit provisions of the measure to be added to minimum wage or other strike control legislation.
