Marooned CCC Youths Rescued After Floating On fee Cakes BOSTON, Feb. 10.—W=)-Sevar CCC youths, marooned on floating ice in Cape Cod bay since noon Sun day were rescued by coast guards men today 23 1-3 hours after they had been cast adrift when the ice broke from the mainland at Brew ster. The rescue was accomplished by use of a small boat which coast guardsmen pushed over the rough foating ice to the youths after a pa trol boat, Harriette Lane, had fail ed in efforts to buck through. The youths were in two groups a mile apart. The quarter mile stretch of ice that carried them seaward while outwalking, had split during the night and the marooned youths were separated into two- groups of five and two. All seven were brought back to the Harriette Lane. One of the youths, according to All rural schools in Cleveland county were closed today on the ad vice of the county board of educa tion and will remain closed for a full week. , This information was gained from J. H. Grigg, superintendent of coun ty schools who said the roads 'have become well night impassable the past few weeks of bad weather.” L ThA board did not order the units to close, but advised that schools which were running and busses at all be suspended for a week until the roads are greatly improved. It was said that some of the smaller elementary units may not have to be closed, as they employ no buss es. Teachers and school officials who live away are expected to have the entire week as a vacation, but will make up the time in an extended term later in the spring. Reason for the action today was given as much damage being done to the busses in going over the routes, that schedules were being met poorly, that children were hav ing to stand out in the cold, and that general attendance was poor anyway. Many other counties in the state are pursuing the same policy. Defer TVA Ruling WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—(JPh~ The supreme court today deferred its TVA decision until at least next Monday. reports reaching army headquarters here, were suffering from frossen feet and in need of Immediate hos pital treatment. Reports to coastguard headquar ters from Capt, C. M. Fedderson of the Harriette Lane said the youth with the froaen feet was John Fitz simmons of Portsmouth, Rhode Is land. The other six were suffering from cold and exposure and in need of treatment. It was not known which port the Harriette Lane would head for. Army headquarters said the de cision rested with the captain. An army ambulance waited at Brewster to pick up the boys in the event the patrol boat put In there. There was the possibility the craft might go to Provincetown or Ply mouth May Not Pass Oil Sanctions Against Italians At All Other Nations Seek Duce’s Favor Developments Today In League In* dicatc Nations Will BeUnqnfeh Idea. Bj The Associated Press The probability that the League of Nations will, not, after all impose an oil embargo against Italy was seen today In diplomatic discussions In Geneva. Recent developments in the Mediterranean area, notably the nationalist riots In Egypt and Syria, have demonstrated adequately what the British have feared throughout the Italo-Ethiopian struggle—a con tinuation of the war between whites and blacks, likely to have repercus sions under other flags. Such league sanctions as have al ready been put Into effect have fail ed to halt Italy’s military activities. Oil experts, Investigating the petro leum situation, say they are not too certain the supply of oil could be shut off from Italy. The Ethiopian government an nounced that one person bad been killed and five wounded In yester day’s bombing of Deawe by Italian airplanes. The government stated that two of the bombs were aimed at the Dutch ambulance. Italian newspapers published Italy's official casualty list for IS months of army operations In east Africa. According to this list Italy has lost only 844 white soldiers from wounds, accidents and Illness. No statistics were given on how many native troops bad been lost. Italy has warned that she would consider tbs application of more sanctions an unfriendly act and con sequently many diplomats at Gen eva tear that aura league sanctions directed fga&u* Italy would do nothing tot sanae mem unfrtendM ness. At the same time Italy's position In the balanoe of power makes France fearful of loala* the Rome government's friendship. Germany also is outride Ifce league, having resigned^ on^tos^gaannS ^that other her. The French -aVgue that should Italy quit, Gengsny and Italy can scarcely * help feeling aligned, in spirit at least. France has become increasingly nervous over reports, denied oategorltaUy 'fig tbe, German government, that Oertnanjr Is mov ing camoflauged soldiers into the demOttamed Khffleland.
