C, The War With Smugglers This is the second of a series of four articles on activities of the United States Coast Guard. By spe- spent several days with the land, sea and air forces of this branch of the Government. BY IVAN H. PETERMAN. CAPE MAY, N. J, February 25.— Base 9 was enveloped in an aura of secrecy as evening drew on. Seven trol boats had scurried out of the let here during the afternoon, each boatswain having his orders. Code mes- sages continued to flit through the air. .“Something was up,” and no mistake. We waited outside the commandant’s office some time, eager for. the next move, while petty officers hurried here and there with much whispering, ex- change of note and expectant smiles. Buckingham said that the n Gas was created in 1907, with the assets of the Electric Co. of America on its books. First Subject of Inquiry. The relation of American Gas with its 10 principal subsidiaries and with the other powerful utility groups, has been made the first subject of inquiry by the commission, in its long delayed investigation of holding companies and power utility financing. & The Federal Trade Commission, at its first hearing yesterday into utility financing, began an examination of an intricate system of control of electric utility operating companies through voting stock ownership and interlock- ing directorates. Economists who have been examining the financial structure of power com- panies virtually ever since the comm: sion’s investigation was ordered by the Senate two years ago began presenta- | tion of an analysis of the affairs of the American Gas & Electric Co. Testify on Voting Stock. All of the voting stock of these con- cerns, they testified, was held or con- trolled by the management corporation. In addition, a majority of the directors and officers of each subsidiary was said to_be comj of either employes or officers of the American Co. In addition, the analysis presented showed that a large block of the Amer- ican Gas voting stock was held by the Electric Bond & Share Co. and officers or companies allied with it and that several of its officers and directors held panies under Bond & Share control. Although the 10 separate operating utilities function as independent com- panies, it was testified that their every official act was taken with the approval and under the supervision of the hold- ing company and that all but two of them actually were linked by a system of “interconnected lines built about a ingsport, d the North Carolina State line. Several of the subsidiary companies, it was testified, were organized aétively for interstate transmission of power, while others were in it through sale of allied companies or to concerns controlled by other utility groups, no- tably the Bond & Share Co. and the Insull group.

As it was 1| twinkling dots blotted out at intervals “I intended to send you out this aft- ernoon, but developments have made it advisable to delay until evening,” Capt. William H. Shea, commanding the base, told us, Comdr. Henry Ulke bringing the message. Lieut. Anderson, who had scouted the coastline with me in the plane, went into conference with the commander. Then Boatswain Cut- | ler was called in. At 6 o'clock he emerged, nodded to us, and we started. | Coast Guard patrol Boat No. 112 is| 1" 193 other Loats of its type, just 75 feet long, trim, sturdy, but scarcely stable. Ordinarily she carrics a crew of eight, but with “Mac,” the pho- tographer, and me, there were nine aboard, one man being on leave and not replaced. ‘The boat is powered with two 250- horsepower Sterling Coast Guard gaso- line engines, powerful things that drive the small craft through mountainous seas. Bunks for the crew are forward, | in the very prow of the boat, where lashing waves like roaring tom-toms beat wild refrain to tormented drea The skipper and mate sleep amidship, back of the galley—if they sleep. It was to this galley Cutler led us, and there we signed the log. The crew sat around, smiling in a way which caused me to wonder. “You boys haven't had much to eat,” said Cutler, ordering Willie, the colored | I boy, to shake up some sandwiches. Wil- lie did even better, he shook up two fried eggs, potatoes, bread and coffee. All unsuspecting, we ate heartily, and as we ate Coast Guard Patrol 112 jerked away from the dock. We finished the eggs to the pulsing throb of two pro- ler shafts beneath the galley floor. “All lights ouf The order sounded down a hatch, and we noticed Adolph Stamer, chief bos'n’s mate, and Dick Coffey busily folding newspapers. These they hurriedly slipped over the portholes, clamping the shutters over. The engine room was dark; so was the pilot house. Not a light showed on the C. G.-112" as she nosed out of the harbor! “What h-ppens if another boat comes along?” I asked Cutler as we stood at the wheel. “We dodge 'em, they have lights,” said he. “Suppose a smuggler is out there, also without lights? Or a fisherman? You might run him down.” Out Three Days and Nights. “If they don't have lights it's too bad,” said the skipper, twisting the brass spokes so the craft headed due east. Through the aft windows the light of Cape May and Wildwood receded in the inky night. It was dark as a conjurer’s curtain. “We'll be out three days and three nights,” Cutler told us. “May get some rough weather. It was pretty rough last time, and one of our engines died.” That, we decided, was hardly a com- forting thought. “Can you anchor?” T asked. “Sometimes—if we get bottom. We used to go way offshore, 100 miles or more. They stopped that.” The craft chugged on, the seas grew rougher. Vainly I peered into the black- ness trying to see something. Only the occasional ghostly tip of a white cap, licking at the rail, rewarded me. “Where are we going and what'll we do when we get there?” I broke the silence which for 10 minutes filled the pilot house. “Out to sea. Cruise around.” Bos'n Cutler is a young man of few words. An interesting fellow, too. In command, he is probably not yet 30. He has been in the service since 1924. For that matter, not a man of the crew seemed beyond that age. Seven boys and a boat with a mission that each would strive to the last for. Why? Simply or- | ers. Somewhere in that opaque void be- filled with illicit goods, its owners would use every resource to escape. If, how- ever, the patrol boat caught a small boat making contact, it was up to the Coast Guard to give chase and seize the small boat. Otherwise they would dog the foreign craft around the sea. Dimly, its skeleton tripod collecting an ever-thickening coat of ice, the one- pounder with which all C.-G. boats are equipped, came within my vision. A canvas protected the gun. Beyond it was a machine gun mount. "v:;m these birds shoot at us?” I ed. “Never have.” “But if they do? Do we shoot back?” “They won't shoot.” A row of lights rose out of the sea, by a rising wave. . “Steamer off the port bow,” sald Harry Northam. ‘We churned on. Fifteen minutes more and we were almost upon the ship. She didn't see us;.if we continued our course she would run us down. “Go around her stern,” Cutler said quietly, and Northam put the helm over hard, the C.-G- 112 shuddering as it rolled quartering over a wave and dived into the trough. At this stage I decided to go below. Charles Bradford, seaman, and Johnny Friel, motor machinist’s mate, with Willie, the cook, were trying to interest “Mac” in navigation. He looked a bit sallow. We sat around the galley table watching the walls dance up and down. Funny, those walls. ‘And the deck and ceiling seemed to want to ex- change places. Hot down th Phooey! “I bet I get seasicfz,” said “Mac.” We ; all laughed at the idea. Seasick. Great joke. “No disgrace in that, on these PAT.OFF.

I don't think i bothers me,” I Wunmm A mo- ment later I would have swallbwed the Temark. A peculiar headache was tak- ing hold. How those walls did boble! “Guess I'll go on deck again. Cooler up there.” I lurched toward the com- panionway, hauled myself up. The-boat was rolling around like a cedar pole in a millrace. Waves sloshed and ham- mered over the deck, and the darkness, if possible, was worse. ‘There is about 2 feet of space be- tween the hatches and the rail on a patrol board. The hatches afford little in the way of gripping objects. And the rail isn't really a.rail, but a steel cable supported by slender steel rods which rise only 30 inches or so above the deck. Hand over hand I dragged my- self along this cable while the boat rocked and dived. I was feeling very poorly. I reached the pilot house again, and Cutler, Northam and I stood in silence, only the occasional squeak of the radio, exchanging messages in code, breaking the monotony of up and down. “About 20 miles,” said the skipper when I asked how far out. The waves were much worse now. “Probably won’t be any business tonight,” somebody said. bePlretty rough.” Again I decided to go below. This, I found the minute I reached e galley, was a bad tactical error. The house, now became a raging demon. For the benefit of victims of mal de mer (high hat for seasickness) the Coast Guard has amidships and for- ward comfort rooms for those in dis- tress. We had always been told this was distinctly a matter to be taken up at the rail_ But not on the C. G. boats. “You'd be swept-over the first heave,’ they told me. Somehow I reached the precious little room. Nice little room. So handy. The skipper generously told me 1 could have his bunk. “T never sleep on these patrols. Very little sleep on a patrol,” he said. How true. For an hour I lay wi g:ring why h‘ha boat hung together. “Mac” came in. 5 “So you Wi rehthe lfig who doesn't sick, e 5 Re". ..se;m!c ess . .1. Tl be next.” And he was. The bos'n’s mate 'klnrlly turned over the opposite bunk to We groaned in unison. The sea got her. m%‘fld you ever watch a cork on a windy pond? A C. G. patrol ‘boat on the ocean is the same. Between trips to that wonderful little room Mac and I agreed a sailor’s life is not an easy one. The Coast Guard, said we, was entitled | to any credit it gets. Those boys earn it on patrol. Well, It Wasn't Their Boat! About 1 a.m. I was tossed to the deck. There was an ear-shattering clatter in the galley. The opposite bunk was where the celling should be and the | boat was diving for the bottom. Both | propellers, racing in the air as the stern stuck out of water, howled a'dreadful song: “Whoa-0a-0a-0a-00000rrrrrr!” A fear- ful thought struck me. The bgnt was drifting! T could tell from the murderous pitch as we slid | over the seas that her nose was not pointed into the wind. Had the helms- man fallen asleep? Again that deafen- ing clatter from the galley. “Willie is trying to cook,” I thought and staggered out. But tgl%en wasn't a soul in that rock- ing galley. Dishes, secured in crates, and the stove, lids lashed, pots tied down, were, nevertheless, jangling like a baby’s rattle in the grip of a mad- dened giant. I looked at a ship's clock— 1:15 am. Just then the boat hung on a crest and with propellers screaming that horrible tune, timbers wrenched and a mournful groan, accompanied by a shudder, ran through the C. G. 112. “Mac, wake up! I think the boat's sinking!” I shook him. Half awake, he groaned, “Let 'er sink. It's not our boat.” We rolled again. “Mac” hit his head on the bunk and fell back. I was pitched to the opposite wall.

Outlines His Early History. “And, of course, after all—‘aren't we all?’” added Mr. Woollcott. He continued by explaining that he was born in Phalanx, N. J., and giving other brief allusions to his early his- tory. He recelved his education in Central High School, in Philadelphia, where he determined to try and be a high school principal. He touched upon the failure of his effort. He received college training in Hamilton College, with post-graduate work at Columbia University. He was dramatic critic of the New York Times (1914-1922) and of the New York Herald in 1922 and the World in 1925. He spent two years as an en- listed man in the A. E. F., including one year on the editorial council of Stars and Stripes, - “Journey’s End,” Called Best, It is possibly partly due to his Army experience that Mr. Woollcott feels, as he said yesterday. that “Journey’ End” is the best play in the world to- day. In the course of his talk, he gave some fascinating anecdotal back- ground on the writing of this play y an_inconspicuous insurance agent of England, who was trying to write a play for his boat club members to pro- luce as an entertainment. His material was letters he had written home from the “front.” His club refused to pro- duce the play. So did all theatrical produces of both London and New York, yet on one experimental per- formance. the play was witnessed by a producer who was willing to take a chance. Mr. Woollcott predicts that “Journey's End” will be running in London five years from now. It is being produced all over the world, including a translated version in Japan. The only other play upon which the lecturer spent any detailed comment was “The Last Mile,” which has the colossal theme of capital punishment. Mr. Woollcott has the dramatic qual- ity of merging himself and his person- ality completely into the story that he is telling and he made his audience see vividly yesterday the different scenes in this tense drama. As concjusion, to relieve the strain after dwelling upon two such tragic plays, Mr. Woollcott amused his audi- ence with witty comment about both his own fellow critics’ methods of han- dling unhappy material in their reviews s0 as to avold libel suits and, at the same time, not compromise the truth as_they saw it. This was the second of a series of events sponsored by the Junior X;am\e. RAIL AND BUS SERVICE COMBINATION ‘PLANNED Passengers to Ride Coaches During Day and Use Pullmans at Night.

MUSIC BLIND VIOLINIST'S RECITAL. Abraham Haitowitsch, blind violinist who came to this country from Russia about the time of the war, Alfredo Oswald, Brazilian ?IAIIIAL gave a joint recital yesterday afternoon in the bsk room of the Mayflower Hotel. A large audience enthusiastically greeted the varied selections, which in- cluded compositions by Beethoven, Bach, Franck, Tschaikowsky, Sarasate and others. It was a program different from the ordinary run of things, in that most of the subjects were short—all, in fact, except for the Cesar Franck ‘Sonatla for Piano and Violin.” It was, however, this longer selection which demonsirated the amazing versatility of Mr. Maitowitsch.

Before an audience ly &) - ciative of her stellar per‘t’:epmunce?p:n‘d rather awed by the highly unusual, Princess Ataloa of the Chickasaw tribe, singing in native costume, last night presented a program of Indian melo~ dies at Bethany Baptist Church. These melodies are written by Americans, who use as their theme the native songs. Translation of these chants to the Eng- lish is exceedingly difficult, for most of them are in quarter tones, while the American instruments have half and full tones. Introduced by Rev. Hugh T. Steven- son, pu;'gr c“u tlie g‘ouxe'g, htehe princess gave a shol prior T program, presenting a phase of Indian life sel- dom given much thought. The princess related the story preceding the song. Some were well known. Others were not so familiar. She opened with the “Invocation to the God” (Lieurance) and followed with another selection of Lieurance's, “By Weeping Waters.” ‘The princess, who from childhood has been familiar with these melodies, says they are “songs from the rhythm of nature expressed in music. I through the soul of my people.” Following these opening two numbers she sang “Spring Bird” (Lieurance). She has a rich contralto voice. Her fa. cial expression mirrors evident sincere emotion and characterizes all her num- bers. As an encore, “A Crow 's Prayer Song” was given with dancing accompaniment. Peggy Thomas’ inter- pretative playing of the difficult score was excellent. B.W. - Quills Denote Wives.
