Another substantial prop under the recovery legislation was the action yesterday by the Supreme Court in upholding the right of a State to fix the minimum price tl' milk. The case was in New York State and is hailed by Administration supporters as strong indi of the court's reception which will be accorded similar Federal laws. The case involved the b; principle of NRA and AAA—price contro! by Gevernment agencies. In order to circumvent AAA price-fixing, Leo Nebbia, a Rochester, N, Y, grocer, gave away a 5-cent lcaf of bread as a premium with every two-quart purchase of n The State Control Board breught him to court and fined him $5.

House of Accident Which Occurred on Sunday Washed overboard by a gigantic wave from the deck of a gashoat |about a quarter of a mile off Point Retreat about 9 o'clock Sun- day night, Oscar Case of Wrangell is believed to have been drowned, according to a report filed in the United States Customs House here late yesterday by Capt. J. H. Fraser, owner of the boat. Hope is still held by Capt. Fraser that Case may have reached |the shore, as Case was an excep- tionally strong swimmer and had |saved himself under similar cir- |cumstances in Taku Inlet by swim- wing a half mile to shore about a year ago. Heavy Waves Running According to the report, the gas- boat T-23G5 was rounding Point Retreat Sunday night when the waves, washing over the boat, filled the skiff lashed on top of the cabin. The skiff shifted and the extra weight on one side nearly capsized the gasboat. Case left the cabin to empty the skiff and right the gasboat. Case started work on the boat when another large wave washed over and car- ried him overboard with the skiff. The decks of the gasboat were covered with ice at the time. Capt. Fraser circled around the spot and located Case with his flashlight about fifty . feet away struggling in the water, but was unable to keep track of him or rescue him. He continued to cruise around for half an hour and then left for cover under the lee of Shelter Island, where he spent the (remainder of the night. He re- turned to the spot at daylight |yesterday and searched the shore unavailingly. Reports to Customs Office Convinced that he was unable to find Case alone, after a few hours search, he turned for Juneau and made his report to the Customs House, which in turn notified United States Commissioner J. F. Mullen. Case who was 35 years old was a resident of Wrangell and had beén associated with Capt. Fraser for the past eight years . He is survived by three brothers in Wrangell and his parents in Seattle. e i PLAN T0 CUT WORK HOURS, BOOST WAGES Administrator Johnson Starts Following Out President’s Idea WASHINGTON, March 6. — In line with President Roosevelt's plea, Administrator Johnson out- lined at the meeting called to invigorate NRA, a plan for a 10 per cent slash in hours of labor and a corresponding increase in \pay for industries under NRA.
