Judge Hoehling, who lives at 5 Newlands street, :Chevyy Chase, :Md, heard through press dispatches that his son and three others had been rescued by the Romany Girl while on a trip from Marblehead A. A Hoehling, ML (%0 ester, Mass. A long-distance telephone call early this morning informed him that the sloop was only a few hundred yards from the Gloucester breakwater ‘when it began to sink. Only casualty was an Irish setter, which was drowned. “My son told me that the sloop had Just been calked before they sailed from Marblehead, but that everything had been all right until they were al- most in the harbor at Gloucester,” Judge Hoehling explained. “Then their boat started leaking s0 badly they had to abandon it and take to the skiff they were towing. ‘That began leaking, too, and they were Jjust about to swim for the breakwater when the Romany Girl, a motor pleas- ure boat, happened along. They were taken ashore and & Coast Guard vessel later towed in their sloop. Charles P. McPhee, Romany Girl's operator, said he saw the four waving & shirt as a distress signal.

It is such a compromise that is now reported under consideration, having day night conference. eration in tne steel organizing drive, with such organization to be under direction of Lewis and on industrial lines. In addition, support would be given for a similar drive in the auto- mobile and rubber industries, prelimi- nary plans for these already having been made by the C. L O. Most serious obstacle to such a set- tlement is the bitter resistance of certain A. F. of L. craft leaders against any transgression of their jurisdic- tional lines by the industrial union or- ganizers. Leader in this fight is John P.

The United States Court of Appeais will be asked to certify directly to the Supreme Court the suit by Benjamin J. Stang, Philadelphia World War veteran, o compel the Government t~ give veterans, their wives and widows, preference on all work relief projects, it was learned today. H. Eugene Gardner, Stang's attorn-y, who is preparing a record of the case for his appeal, said he intended to ask the Court of Appeals to refrain from its usual consideration of his appeal and to send the case to the higher tribunal. He said he would ask th: Supreme Court to review the decisioa June 2 on & similar suit by the Third Circuli Court of Appeals, thus enabling simultaneous consideration of both cases. Justice Peyton Gordon dismissed Stang’s injunction petition here June 25, relying on the precedent set by the Third Circuit Court, which dis- solved an injunction which had been granted by Federal Judge George Welsh of Philadelphia. In both his Philadelphia and ‘Washington suits, Stang attempted to tie up all work relief projects upon which veterans are not given prefer- ence as to employment. The suit in Philadelphia involved only the busi- ness census project there, but the liti- gation here was national in its scope. Atlanta Prison Busy. .
