No | proof of any irregularity has been | adduced.” | Referring to the expenditures in | the Pennsylvania primary for the | Vare-Beidelman-James-Woodward tic- ket, Senator Reed said $340.000 went for advertising, printing and postage, $35,000 went straight back to the gov- ernment for stamps. “There is nothing questionable about a single voucher,” he added. “These expenditures were natural concomi- tants of the primary system in a great and populous State like Pennsyl- vania. Thousands of supporters of the tcket furnished this money, and every cent of it was spent not only | legaily, but with the ufmost propriety. | “Tiere is mot the slightest reason in connection with either the primary or the election for refusing the oath of office to Senator Vare.” 26 FACING DEATH AS GREEK TANKER IS HIT BY GALE| {Continued from First Page.) with a Senator chairman enate cam 10 Reed nd Senator | latter ship stating she would go to her assistance.

With the sea pouring into the vessel from both her stem and stern, the task of keeping her afloat would be an extremely diffi- cult one. Coast Guard officials said. According to a radio message re- ceived here several hours after the SOS call, the Paraguay is known as the Greek steamer Kyzikos since she ‘was changed from American registry, although her signal letters are the same as when she was flying the American flag. Deck Gear Swept Away. The message also stated that the wvessel had had her deck gear and an- | tenna carried away and was without means of summoning assistance. The steamer City of Atlanta was within & few miles of the helpless craft, and was sending out distress calls for her. While 8 O 8 calls were being sent broadeast tonight all radio broadcast ing w ilenced, and was not resumed until after § o'clock. Northeast ~storm signals were ordered displayed today from Charles ton to Norfolk. The storm was un usually severe south of the Virginia capes, and at Cape Henry its force was so great that there was practic: 1y no movements of vessels to sea Small craft, such as barges and tus -emained in Lynn Haven Roads and ;‘lamplon Roads to await the passing of the storm before proceeding to sea. The ' wind at Cape Henry attained a velocity of 46 milex this morning, but dropped to 34 later in the afternoon There were unusually high s at this point. ‘The weather was so thick that ves. aels could not be seen a short dis- tance off shore, and the Government observer had to depend on the re- ports of pilots, who brought in the few ships that passed that point, for the names of the vessels. They| pulled and tugged as if they were being moved by a powerful force.
