Both men grabbed cushion-type
life preservers and thrust their
arms through the loops as they
were tossed into the water. Then
began their night of horror.

tempt to reach shore to get help.
After fighting the waves, he saw
he was making no headway
against offshore wind and was be-
ing flown farther out into the
lake
AS darkness fell Sunday, Ma

passed very close to him. His
shouts were not heard and the
boat continued on its course.

although his arms were becoming
numb.

Labor Party Loses Vote,
But Not One OF Confidence
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Nov. 9.-The Labor
government took a beating in the
House of Commons last night but
it doesn't mean a new election.
The setback came on an oppo-
sition motion to allow more op-
portunity for "back-benchers"
(members of junior rank) to in
troduce legislation without off,
cial party sponsorship.
Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison spoke against the meas
ure. On a vote. however. the bill
was carried by 235 to 229, appar-
emily with the aid of some La
borites.
Because the issue was not a
question of confidence in the gov
ernment, it did not endanger the
Labor Party's rule.
Labor Party leaders said no at
tempt would be made to reverse
the decision.
