Durocher gave this version of
the incident:

Boysen--a war veteran-said he

TORN (LEATS CAUSE
 BOATS BREAK LOOSE;
 WIND BEACHES SkIFFi

The Small Boat Harbor took the weekend storm with minor damage reported, although five fishing boats broke loose from their moor. ings and number of skiffs were still piled up on the fill north of the harbor.
 The skiffs were mostly blown from the tops of fishing vessels, Harbormaster George Martin said.
 Owners responded to radio and police call Saturday night and Sun day morning to go to the harbor to help secure their boats, which cut down a great deal on damage. The boats which broke loose did so because cleats to which their lines were secured were torn from old No. float, Martin said.
 Coast Guardsmen from the 83- foot cutter, recently returned from overhaul at Ketchikan and tteo at the Harbor, aided Martin ln watching the floats. The new Har- bormaster set out this morning to sort out" the beached skiffs and to attempt to return them to the boats from which they were torn.

NAVY CUTS IN VESSELS
 ANNOUNCED

WARRINGTON, Oct. 31--tREThe Navy is going to lay up 31 war shirs and AZ other vessels, to keep within the reduced sums it will have to spend.
 The "mothballing' program, an- nounced last night, is part of the effort to hold the total spending on the armed services to $13,000, ,000, ,00o in the fiscal year which begins next July l. That sum compares with $15,- 5e5,863, ,498 voted by Congress.
 By next July the Navy expects to have 237 combat vessels in opera tion as compared with 268 on Sep tember 1. The fleet will be reduced by four aircraft carriers and the craft which support them. Most of the reduction will be in the Allan tic fleet.
 Essex class carriers (27,000 tons) will be reduced from five to three smaller carriers of about 14,00O tons will be increased from three to four and the small "jeep" escort carriers will be reduced from seven to four.
