Prober Criticizes
Fiji Mystery Yacht

AUCKLAND, New zealand,
Feb. 4 (P.-An inquiry commits
sion at Apia. Samoa, was told to-
day the mystery motor yacht
Joyita should never have carried
passengers.
The United States-built Joyita
was found drifting 100 miles of
Fiji last october. The Is persons
who sailed in her from Apia were
missing and no trace of them has
been found.
r. K. Davidson, commission
counsel, said the Joyita had been
built in the United States in
1881, used as naval patrol vessel
during World War II and suisse
quently converted to a fishing
boat.
She was bought by DR.. Katha-
rine Luomala of Honolulu who
chartered her to Capt. Thomas
Henry Miller, master on the i'll
fated voyage.
Said Mr.. Davidson: "The Joyita
was unauthorized under Amer

passengers"
He said there was no evidence
to support theories and rumors
of murder, looting or ramming
of the vessel.

In two recent similar cases
nothing came of the bribery talk.
Representative Broyhill, Repub-

1854 than an unidentified person
had offered him a $500 campaign

a pending postal bill. A jury in
vestigation resulted in the case
being dropped last August. The
United States Attorney could
not prove the person who offered
the money had bribery in mind.
Just last month Representative
Ruth Thompson, Republican OF
Michigan, said she had been
offered a $1,000 campaign-con-
