There is still time to patch a broken resolution or change j a poor one. i ne big event of the dead year, in public opin ion and imagination, was Lindbergh's flight to Paris.

Criticism of S4 Rescue Quieted by Congressman LaGuardia's Explanation (AuorUted Ptpm Leavd Wire) WASHINGTON, Jan. 6. The unadorned account that Repre sentative La Guard la of New York has given congress of tils 36 hours of Investigation of the navy's res cue efforts at the scene of the S-4 disaster has prompted prob ably more comment at the capitol than any speech In the new con gress. In the house where he spoke two days ago, the opinion of his colleagues can be summed up In the words of one member "Well, you've got to give him credit for what he did." The house membership accord ed La Guard fa its undivided atten tion as he. told them how members of the Navy's personnel risked their lives in a tossing sea In an effort to save their' comrades in the torpedo room of the sunken S-4. ..

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.--Two deserters from the tJnlted States marines, captured' by 1 the ! rebel general, Sandlhd, as they sought to escape . frdm ' the Nlcaraguan war .zone, are- believed '-by 'some marine officers In Nicaragua 'to have turned their' military train ing to account by. helping in the instruction of the rebel troops. , An official report1 relayed from the front to marine corps 'head quarters here said It was believed that the two men agreed to teach Sandino's soldiers how -to; shoot under a threat that they them selves would go before a rebel fir ing squad if they refused. Marine Intelligence officers said today they had no proof be yond the report which had come to them from the marine officers In Nicaragua. They pointed out, however, that In their recent at tacks on the American forces, re sulting In a mounting list of American casualties, the Sandlno troops have shown unusual famil iarity 'with marine corps methods. The reports reaching Managua, officers here said, recited that the two men were captured by Sandlno as they attempted ' to reach the Honduran border. It was said that Sandlno offered them the alternative of Immediate execution or agreeing to assist him. Marine' corps records show that since August five men have been absent without leave In Nicar agua. Two of the men reported to R column of marines at San La- blno on August 2, after having been absent since 'the latter part I of June. The two men said they hd been held prisoner by - San dino and had been released. The other three men have not been heard from. t ' Tt was noted here that recent rnorts from Nicaragua have em phasized that Sandlno apparently was receiving aid 'of an unusual nature and that the morale of his troops had been materially ad vanced. Marine losses in recent aklrmlRhes with the Nlcaraguans have approximated-in proportion the loss" in battles of the world war. This Indicated stubborn fibbing by Sandino's group. Marine reports ahow that San rtlo now has 1,000 Tlfles and 80, 000 rounds of smalt arms ammuni tion besides a few guns of larger caliber. The size of his force has npvpr been definitely fixed. 'the es timates ranging from a hundred or two bv some American observ ers to more than a thousand byj hia supporters. The. favorite method of attack by Sandlno In recent skirmishes ban been to shower the Americans with home made bombs i tilled with broken glass and wire nails. i DESERTERS niu QAMniNn uuiib uniiumu not pump air Into that compart ment and keep those men alive?" said the New Yorker, who was a major in the American air service in the World War, and whose ac cent discloses Italy as the home of his parents. ' . "Well, you may say, why did they not?. The reason, as I under stand it, is that these men were In an air tight compartment full of air of normal pressure. If more air were pumped, it would soou make a high pressure chamber out of that compartment, and human life will not last long under such conditions. It would have hecn necessary to pump air at the rate of forty-five pounds to the Inch before they could open any valve and release any excess air. "If there were less air pressure, and a valve opened, It would im mediately fill the compartment with water.
