EFFORTS TO RAISE VESSEL ABANDONED | U.S. SUBMARINE BASE, NEW LONDON, Conn., Oct. 2—(Assoclated Press)—Rear Admiral H. H. Christy, in charge of the rescue operations at the seene of the wreck of the submarine 8-51 today recommended the release of the two big floating cranes which yesterday made an unsuccessful effort to raise the ves- sel. His. recommendation was made after announcement had been re- ceiyed of the recovery of two adii- tional bodies found by divers in the engine room, and was taken to mean that no further efforts would be |} made at this time to raise the mersible. Reports had been received earlier of the finding of a body in a navy unlform off Stonington led base offt- clals to believe that one of the men washed overboard from the 8-51 had floated in there but Lieutenant A. H, Deering of the medical corps, ‘sent to Stonington to view the dody, reported that it was not that of a navy man. It had been tn the water about three weeks.

Kendrick of Wyoming. Senator Kendrick, who is in Casper as a member of the | to stage a senatorial public land committee, voiced this opinion both asa practical stockman and as a legislator who has given much of his time and attention to the problems of the western ranch- man. “True, livestock prices are slight- ly higher,” he explained. “But the fixed charges under which the stock- man must conduct his busine still out of proportion to any his return, The burden of state and local taxes rests so heayily on him that the can scarcely hope to enjoy prosperity. He will struggle on, of course, but the future is none too bright.” The belief, widely prevalent in the west, that a cattle shortage exists, 'is largely illusory, Senator Kendrick maintains. “The market reports tell quite a different story,” he. said. “A slight incyease in the market price is fol- lowed by a flood of shipments. Just as many cattle are going out over the Burlington this week as were shipped in the old days.” The junior Wyoming senator also warned against excessive optimism in connection with any new reclama- tion project, but declared that the Casper-Alcova plan had elements of promise which many similar propos- als lacked. “Two factors which should contrib- ute much to the success of the proj- ect,” he declared, “ave the immense flow of revenue from your oil fields and the existence in a strategic po- sition for marketing purposes of a big industrial community Uke Cas- ber, “As soon as the man who settles on a reclamation project can have reasonable assurance that he will be able to live through the lean period of preliminary development and gain eventual possession of the land, the whole recalamation policy of the gov- ernment will feel an electric impetus The interior department and the rec lamation commission eannot be ex pected to look with great favor on hew projects when they are encoun- tering difficulty in obtaining settlers for projects ‘already open.” Senator: Kendrick announced his attention to press the bill prepared Jointly by him: and Representative C, B.
