FOUR ARE RESCUED IN STORM IN' BAY D. C. Couples Spend Eight Hours in Disabled Boat After Accident. Four Washingtonians termed their escape from death “nothing short of miraculous” as they recovered today from injuries and nervous strain suf- fered on storm-swept Chesapeake Bay where they spent eight hours in a disabled sailboat before they were washed ashore early yesterday. “It's just a miracle that we were ved—the Lord was with us, that's Mrs. Revelle Jones, 4514 Fifth street, declared. She spoke for her- self, her husband, who is a District fireman, and their companions in the terrifying experience, Joseph Murray, 8127 Third street, and his fiancee, Miss Lydwin Upperman, 628 Farragut street. Until yesterday morning, they had virtually been given up for lost as Coast Guard boats and naval planes from Annapolis had failed to locate them in the Chesapeake Bay storm wrea. The Jones were spending the week end at their Summer cottage at Avalon Bhores, Md. They rented a sailboat Sunday evening from Capt. E. Leath- erbury at Shadyside, Md., and with Murray and Miss Upperman sailed into the bay at 7 pm. In a short time, a severe wind and rain storm had brok- en the rudder and main boom of the craft Waves, “some of them as high as the ceiling.” broke over the boat al- most all night long. Mrs. Jones said. The boat had neither oars nor life preservers. Neither of the women could swim. Hour after hour the four bailed water out of the disabled boat which was repeatedly filled by the waves “It was a terrible experience.” Mrs. Jones continued. “Once we drifted almost within reach of land and a| sudden guest of wind blew us out | toward the middle of the bay. We| were without food or water for hours | and took turns calling for help. The boat was thrown about by the waves | like a toothpick and I was certain we would never get back alive.” The sailboat was washed ashore at 3 a.m. yesterday in Eastern Bay, near Claiborne, Md. The survivors, shiver- ing. nervous and cut and bruised, waited until later to advise the occu- pant of a nearby residence, a Mr. Rice of Washington, of their plight. With Rice’s help, news of their sur- vival was transmitted to Coast Guard authorities and the boat was towed back to Shadyside Naval planes discovered the party on the bayside and offered assistance. “The planes previously had been unable to locate us,” Mrs. Jones said. “and we had been reported drowned. Jones, who planned to return to his duties as a fireman tonight, was described by his wife as having tem- porarily lost his voice. Murray also had a sore throat. All four were cut and bruised from being tossed about in the boat. Murray is an employe of the Bureau ot Lighthouses of the Department of Commerce. “We saw several light- houses,” he said, “but with a broken rudder and no oars we were unable | to reach them.” (Continued From First Page.) udiciary Congress has been elected by the peo- | ple “does not give you power over them.” He said it was necessary to g0 to the people for additional powrrs.‘ “Source of Justice.” | At another point in his address, | Benator Bailey said “we are dealing | with one of the three branches of our Republic amongst which all the power | s distributed. We are dealing with | the judicial branch, the source of jus- | tice in the national life. We are deal- ing with the means of determining | the meaning of the Constitution, with | the means of defining the powers of | the Congress, of the States and the rights of the people. | “We are dealing with an institution, the judicial system, at the head of which stands the Supreme Court. We | are dealing with the only means of Justice to a great and numerous peo- | ple, whose greatest interest is justice. Warns Against Tyranny. “We are dealing with that branch of our Government which is most helpless, which is indeed utterly helpless. Its very existence depends upon us. That confidence and re- spect without which it cannot exist depends upon us. We have control of the judicial branch of the Gov-| ernment. We can exalt it or bring it | low. “It is great to have a giant's power, but it is tyranny to use it as a giant.” Senator Bailey declared that the ceompromise court bill was equally objectionable with the President's original bill. Indeed, he said, the bill was not a compromise. “But if it were a compromise,” he #aid, “there can be no honorable ‘eompromise of a principle. “I contend that the purpose of this legislation is to affirm and exert the power of the legislative and executive branches of Government to control the judicial branch, with the avowed motive of shaping judicial determina- tions. This is not denied, save in a half-hearted way. “If the purpose of the bill were only to assist the court there would be no opposition. The Congress has the power and duty to provide for the organization of the court, but this power to provide for organization does not remotely contemplate the slightest authority to shape the court with a view to affecting judicial determina- tions.” Holds Legislation Invalid. Senator Bailey said that there is not vested in the Congress to the slightest degree any power over the eourt or upon it in judicial matters. “We contend, therefore,” he con- tinued, “that this legislation is un- eonstitutional.” “Of course, I do not accuse the President of seeking to be a dictator,” continued Bailey. “But I do not hesitate to say that if this legislation We Can Remodel Your Watch 1t the movement Is good— keep ¥, but why met put it in & mew case with & modera dial?

I do not hesitate to | | say that should we adopt this policy | there are those of us who might argue that it would be better to make him dictator in order to head off another. | | If we are to have a dictator, probably | he would be a better one than any | other who would be dictator. | “But we do not want a dictator. We want a constitutional, representa- tive democracy. We have lost much |in the depression. We are recovering | now. Let us not lose wilfully here | the inheritance we received from our | fathers and which we hold in trust | for our children and all mankind.” | Forecasts of a court bill showdown | in 10 days or two weeks came today | from some Senators on both sides. Opposition leaders, declaring they had 44 certain votes and a half dozen others “within reach,” sald there was | no need for a filibuster. “We can win without it,” commented Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of Mon- tana at the start of the fourth day's| attack on the controversial measure. | Administration chieftains, on the | other hand, stuck by their contention | that they had enough votes to pass the compromise bill. It authorizes ap-| pointment of one additional Supreme Court justice each year if members | over 75 do not retire. The opposition strategists predicted | approval of a motion to send the bill | back to the Judiciary Committee, which would sidetrack it at least for | the remainder of this session. The mo- | tion probably will be made as soon as | they have finished their case. | Publicly, the line-up still was 40 against the compromise measure and | 39 for it. Several of the remaining 17, however. were committed privately one | way or the other. DANCER PREVENTED FROM SUICIDE LEAP Elevator Operator Grabs Her From Window Sill as She Says “Last Prayer.” An attractive 20-year-old dancer yesterday was prevented from taking a six-floor suicide plunge from an apartment building in the 2100 block of F street by a colored elevator oper- ator who grabbed her from a hallway window sill as she offered “a last prayer.” The elevator boy, Caleb Crook, 36, a Howard University student, tempo- rarily convinced the despondent girl suicide was not “the only way out,” as she had commented. He sent her away, police were told, after giving her a dollar bill. Shortly afterward she returned, going to the eighth floor. Crook sum- moned another operator, Henry James, 27, colored, who in turn called police. | The girl asserted she had been reared directly across the street from where she contemplated her act and | was despondent over a quarrel with | her recently-acquired husband. A note addressed to “Dear Michael” was found in a pocketbook she car- ried. The girl was being held at Gal- linger Hospital today for mental ob- servation.

GROUND ISBROKEN ATNEW BOYS LB 100 Children and Score of Adults at Ceremony in-Southeast. Nearly a hundred eager, smiling children and a score of prominent Washingtonians were on hand today to see Frank R. Jelleff, president of the Boys' Club of Washington, break the ground at Seventeenth street and Massachusetts avenue southeast for the club’s new $300,000 branch. Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, making a brief radio talk from the scene, declared: “There is no doubt that this and similar clubs reduce de- linquency. Better than that, though, they build more patriotic citizens of our youth. I hope that more clubs will be erected and will extend similar advantages to all sections of the city.” He described the work as a “mag- nificent undertaking.” Rev. Charles Warner of St. Alban's Church offered prayer. Those pres- ent included Herbert L. Willett, jr., director of the Community Chest; Oren Davy and Mrs. Morgan Otter- back, representing the Southeast Cit- izens' Association; Mrs. W. A. Roberts, executive secretary of the Council of Social Agencies; D. J. Kaufman and Harry Hites. When completed the structure will be the largest and most complete of its kind in the city. It will house a large gymnasium, swimming pool, health clinic, libraries, club rooms, | woodworking laboratories, play rooms and numerous recreation devices. | Mus. Eleanor C. Patterson, donor of the club, was out of town and unable to be present. REPORTS CONFLICT Covington Rayon Union Says Agreement in Offing, but Com- | pany Denies It.
