PAGE TWELVE TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1934 THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD The Valley First First in the Valley (Copyright. 1934, by the A. SASEBO. Japan, March 13-- A remarkable rescue of three seamen raised the faint hope Tuesday that others may still be alive in the Japanese torpedo boat Tomo- zuru which capsized Monday in heavy seas with 113 men aboard. The three--members of the engine room CKTW--were first reached through an air hole drilled in the stricken ship's hull as she lay keel upward.

They were handed milk to revive their strength. Escape Through Hatch Then, while a tremendous cheer went up from those working grimly at the rescue, the sailors escaped through a hatch and floated to the surface. It had been feared that all aboard the tiny ship --her tonnage was only 527. although she carried armament to match many vessels twice her size-- were dead when she was found in a sinking condition Monday. But.

as the cruiser Tatsnuta towed her bottom-side up toward port, anxious seamen aboard the Tatsuta heard faint pounding. They listened. It was repeated. Faintly, then louder, the hammering within the Tomozuru was continued through the five hours required to haul the toruedo boat tn Tawagaura. five miles southwest off thp Sasebo naval base.

Setting to work frantically, mechanics and steel workers began cutting an entry through the To- mozuru's steel hull after she reached port. Veterans of Japan's former sea disasters were called upon to aid and advise in attempts to lift the hull and force air into the interior of thp vessel. Back at the scene of the tragic wreck, destroyers and seaplanes searched the vicinity with its numerous inlets and bays. They hoped to find survivors. But the most optimistic admitted chances were slim.

It was pretty generally agreed most if not all of the men aboard the Tomozuru were trapped and died quickly. Six of those on board the newest of Japan's fighting ships were officers. The story of the fierce storm which caused the disaster was related by officers of the Tomozuru's ships--the Manazuru and the Chidori. They told how the three vessels participated together in maneuvers off the Sasebo naval base starting i at 1 a. m.

Monday. Soon the storm rose. Winds lashed huge waves clear across the decks. Many deck fixtures were carried overboard. The sister ships, however, escaped with little damage.

The warrant was served as he one of the first bankesr arrested. The warrant was served as he lay ill at home. Here he is shown being carried to arraignment later on a stretcher, Twenty-eighth Day, March 13 BY WILLIS THORNTON NEA Service Staff Correspondent Banks throughout the country began to open, and the clouds which had hung over the country for weeks seemed to lift a little as each of the 12 Federal Seserve cities arranged for some banks to open under license. With income tax day only two days away, people were perturbed about paying, because of a Treasury announcement that Uncle Sam would expect his money, closed banks or no closed banks.

Several cities, watching the growing distribution of the new Federal Reserve bank notes, announced that they were burning ihe scrip they hastily had printed. In many cases, deposits in reopening banks actually exceeded withdrawals. Panic was being allayed. President Roosevelt sent his beer message to Congress, short, pithy, and to the point, asking amendment of the Volstead act to permit beer-making under an adequate tax system. A conservator was appointed for New York's Harriman National Bank and Trust.

Company (first of and its president, Joseph W. Harriman. was arrested on a federal warrant charging falsification of books. He resigned from the bank, and later was indicted. The dollar actually gained in the foreign exchange markets abroad.

While it later was to be depressed as a deliberate policy, it this time it felt good to know that there was confidence abroad the future of money we had been tempted to doubt ourselves for the first time in our lives.

Roosevelt's plan for sell-sustaining agriculture and public work projects as the media for cash incomes.

Gcttinj Under Way The set-up, which is just getting unae'f way was explained in dei by Harry L. Hopkins, federal relief administrator, in Atlanta Tuesday for a conference of relief authorities from 12 southern states. According to his interpretation, the government will elnrt help to farmers wit'i the view to making their own acres produce their sus- tenence. In th eaieantime supplemental earnings will be available through part-time employment in road building and the improvement of national barks, state forests tnd the like. Another phase of plan calls for the establishment of small, local indus'trJes like vegetable canning and meat packing as further means for absorbing unemployment in the rural district.

"It's absurd--the hundreds ol thousands of people on the relief rolls," Hopkins told interviewers. "This plan is extremely important to the south. In some states 30 per cent of the population is on relief rolls." Corporation to Aid Hopkins believes no problem would be involved in obtaining land for sustenance farais. Numerous big industrial corporations in possession of vast acreage have ndinaf.ed they will make tracts available under terms that would prove no financial burden to the government by virtue of its sponsorship nor to the themselves. Many counties hold the saait attitude as regards land seized in lieu of tax pas'ments.
