Linebaugh Gives His Life In Futile Effort To Save Raymond Leber SONS WITNESSES TO LONG LEVEL TRAGEDY A fishing party at Long Level ended in tragedy at noon Saturday when a small boat capsized, and its two occupants drowned. The victims are: Albert A. Linebaugh, 38, 920 Poplar street, truck driver. Raymond Leber, 35, of Washington, D. son of Mrs.

Leber, 415 Walnut street, freight on the Pennsylvania railroad, and a former resident of th.is city. One Body Recovered The body of Leber was recovered Saturday evening about 7:30 o'clock by Ben Sipe, veteran boatman of this city, by use of grappling hooks. Strenuous efforts to find the other body were made yesterday by Elmer Diamond, diver from the Safe Harbor Water Power company. Searching will be resumed at daybreak this morning. Heroic Effort Fails An heroic effort to save his friend cost Linebaugh his life.

An eyewitness to the reported that after the boat capsized, Lineaccident, baugh swam safely ashore, but upon seeing the plight of Leber, went back to rescue him. Apparently Leber, a poor swimmer, had lost his head and began to struggle with Linebaugh, with the result that both of them sank from sight, Sons Stand Helplessly By In the meanwhile, two sons of Linebaugh, William, 14, and Kenneth, 11, who had come on the trip with them, began screaming when they saw the boat upset. William started to wade out as far as he could, until the water reached past his knees. Attracted by the screams of the boys, Quay Overmiller, of East pect, who had been working nearby, rushed up, and seeing what was wrong, ran to Wallick's boathouse for help. Kenneth Wallick, 20, Long Level, William Knappenberger, 23, and Harold Knappenberger, 27, both of this city, secured a boat and went to the rescue, arriving too late.

The attempt proved to be futile as the bodies were nowhere to be seen, and only the prow was visible, a grim marker indicating the spot of the drowning. Linebaugh and Leber and the two children of the former had left York about nine o'clock Saturday morning, on a fishing expedition to Long Level. They secured a row boat at Wallick's boathouse, Long Level, and fastened an outboard motor of their own to it. After cruising about for while motor trouble compelled them to stop. One of the men was seen to try to fix the motor while the other one stood in the other end (Continued on Page Three) IDEAL WEATHER FOR WEEK-END Yesterday's highest temperature of 76 degrees exceeded Saturday's high by one point, to mal the wee about ideal as far as weather conditions were concerned.

CORONER ZECH SAYS LONG LEVEL NEEDS LIFE SAVING STATION Coroner Zech yesterday pointed to the urgent need of a lifesaving and first-aid station at Long Level, popular boating and swimming resort along the Su6quehanna river.

"The drowning of two men at Long Level Saturday," Dr. Zech told The Gazette and Daily, "should be a lesson we ought to heed at once. Tomorrow may be too late. "I urgently recommend the establishment of a life -saving station, with modern equipment, inhalator and grappling hooks, in charge of experienced life- guards who have qualified under the Red Cross life- saving tests. "Unless some immediate action is taken, there may be a repetition of Saturday's tragedy." Coroner Zech said he suggests the setting-up of such a station by the Red Cross, or some organization of persons interested in the resort.

The coroner, a sports enthusiast himself, feels Long Level provides an ideal place for recreation and water sports, and its development should be encouraged, but he points to the ever -present danger of accidents and the absence of adequate safeguards at the present time.

Congress May Pare Work Relief Fund To $1,000,000,000 (By The Washington, May ential meamber of the House Appropriationg committee said today there was a strong possibility congress might pare a new works-relief fund to $1,000,000,000. Representative Woodrum Va.) acting chairman of a sub-committee which will start hearing tomorrow of a relief-deficiency money bill, asserted: "With congress in its present economy mood, I believe the President's figure may be cut $500,000,000. President Roosevelt recommended an additional works-relief fund of $1,500,000,000.

Congressional leaders said he resisted suggestions that $500,000,000 be lopped from the total on grounds a reduction merely would mean more money must be appropriated later. Even if it were necessary to provide additional funds later, Woodrum said, economies might be realized by compelling the Works Progress administration to spend cautiously on a basie of a billion dollars rather than a billion and a half. Sentiment for a $500,000,000 reduction has been evidenced in some Senate quarters. The House committee will open hearings tomorrow, Woodrum said, with a discussion of a proposal to continue the Public Works administration. On Wednesday, the sub-committee expects to take up the $1,500,000,000 works-relief recommendation.

Woodrum, who has been arguing for economy and against "economy! hysteria," said the proper way of approaching a reduction in public expenditures is by having individual items considered by the appropri- To Ask Adjournment Of Legislature On May 21 Governor Earle Will Send Special Message To Assembly Tonight On Labor Relations Bill (By The Harrisburg, May leaders of the 1937 general assembly will aek a joint caucus of the House and Senate tomorrow night to adjourn the legislature May 12.

Frank B. Ebbert, in talks yesterday at the First Methodist Episcopal church and Ridge Avenue Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Ebbert, who is counselor of the Board of Temperance the Methodist church, continued, "If we keep the same ratio of increase up for five more years we'll be the most drunken nation on the face of the earth. We are now spending five billions of dollars annually for alcohol.

At the end of ten years it will be fifty billions at a minimum, which is onethird more than our enormous national debt." Women And Rum Col. Ebbert discussed the problem from a social standpoint, saying that the arrest of women in public drinking places has increased 600 per cent and is constantly mounting. The social problems in that respect are entirely different from social problems of pre- prohibition days, which makes the problem much more difficult. He said: "Over 1,500,000 girls of an average age of seventeen, are engaged in (Continued on Page Seven) PENNA. PAYROLLS UP 32 PER CENT Harrisburg, May 2.

(AP)- -Pennsylvania workers received thirtytwo per cent more wages in March than in the same month of 1936 and the number of workers increased fourteen per cent. Ralph M. Bashore, secretary of Labor and Industry, said these figures, announced Saturday, were based on reports from 8,292 employers. "There should be a greater spread of employment instead of a tendency to increase hours," he said. "Shorter hours would tend to spread the work among more of our people and thus help to relieve the relief burden." Construction and contracting firms wage increases of sixty per cent over March of last year, and a forty per cent increase in employment.

ROOSEVELT SIGNS NEUTRALITY LAW; EFFECTIVE JUNE Some Of Bill's Provisions In Effect Against Spain Immediately BARS SOLICITATION OF FUNDS FOR SPAIN (By The Associated Press) Washington, May State department set out today to immediately enforce new and more stringent provisions of the neutrality law against belligerents in the Spanish Civil war. The new act, broadening restrictions against trade with nations at war and granting the President discretionary in administering neutrality policies, was signed by President Roosevelt last night on board a destroyer off the Texas coast. At the same time the President issued two proclamations, one making new law effective June 1, and the other proclaiming some of its provisions in effect against Spain immediately Under the President's proclamation declaring that "a state of civil strife unhappily exists in Spain" it is now unlawful: Bar Arms Exports 1. To export arms, ammunition and implements of war (designated by the proclamation) to any of the belligerent factions in Spain, or to neutral countries for trans-shipment to Spain. The expanded arms l'st includes several more poison gases, propellants and explosives and, in addition to war vessels, includes armor plate for their consrtuction.

2. To travel on Spanish vessels. (Few Spanish ships sail from American ports now and that prohibition is chiefly applicable in European waters). ens engage To in grant cther loans, financial buy bonds transac- or tions beneficial to the belligerent factions. 4.

Solicit funds for any of the beligerents except under such regulations as may be prescribed by the President. (The State department now is working on regulations to be issued in the near future). Administered By State Dept. The new law will be administered by the State department's office of arms and munitions control, headed by Joseph C. Green, which administered the temporary act expiring last night.

When the new law goes into effect June 1 it will prohibit the exports of arms, ammunition or implements of war to two or more nations at war, to a nation engaged in civil war, or neutral nations for transshipment to the belligerents. The list of war supplies prohibited, proclaimed by the President, is based on the list proclaimed April 10, 1936, but also contains a number not in that category. American ships are prohibited from transporting any of the war supplies enumerated in the proclamation. The President is empowered to prohibit American vessels from carrying any goods until American citizens have transferred title to the purchaser. That "cash and carry" provision was not made effective in the President's Spanish proclamation.

The new law also prohibits American or other ships from carrying war supplies for transshipment to belligwarships or supply vessels and erent grants the President power to bar submarines or armed merchantmen of belligerent countries from American ports. The law prohibits American merchant vessels from being armed but the secretary of state has authorized ships engaged in commerce with Spain to carry small arms and ammunition necessary for the preservation of discipline on board.

It was decided that the players would continue to go through federation lines until final action was the guild when its picket, board reports back to a general meeting next Sunday. Speakers urged a peaceful pressing of their demand, with efforts to prevent a walkout, if possible. Sole Bargaining An Issue The cardinal demand, as with the Federated Crafts, is that the producers accept the guild as the sole bargaining agency for the film players. The crafts had demanded recognition only, so far.

The Virginian yesterday asked the heads of 32 independent federal establishments to survey money requirements for the next fiscal year and help congress cut at least ten per cent from their total requests. The week- end brought no indication agreement between House and Senate leaders over the method of proposed economy.

Senate Majority Leader Robinson held to his support of a proposal to make a horizontal cut of ten per cent in all appropriations. The House Democratic leader, Representative Rayburn of Texas, favored legislation to allow the President to impond fifteen per cent of all appropriations, releasing the money at his discretion. Two western senators-Borah Idaho), and King expressed disapproval of both enconomy proposals. Borah said he was "not deeply interested" in either the fiat ten per cent cut proposal or the impounding method. King declared he opposed both plans, but of the two, thought the ten per cent plan somewhat better.

King asserted the burden of trimming governmental cost "rests on congress," and warned: "Already the public debt is SO grout and the threat of additional bond issues SO eminent that the market pril bonds fell and there is some concern as to whether additional issues might result most unfavorably to our business and economic structure."
