Ore., July 5 UP) None of the bodies of the nine per sons drowned in the Pacific wean here Sunday have yet been recovered. Monday coast guardsmen, relatives of the dead and hundreds of volun teers patrolled tlie beach from dawn until dark but none of the bodies were sighted. Captain Robert Farley.' officer in charge of the.Barvlew coast guard .station, expressed the opinion It probably would be a week before any of them would be washed ashore. The nine who drowned were aboard the fishing launch Truxlllo which capsized while crossing the Tillamook bar on a ebbing tide. Five other per sons were rescued by coast guards men and volunteers who swam out -from shore, through the heavy surf, and dragged them to aafety. The Truxlllo was washed ashore half a mile north of the jetty. The boat's papers, also washed ashore, are being held by Captain Farley. O. W. Barrlck. district attorney. has indicated he will arrange a bear ing in an effort to fix responsibility for the tragedy.

Automobile accidents were the chief cause, one hundred and eleven being killed in motor mishaps. Total drownings SI tor the nation fell off considerably from the previous year, when about 181 jierlslt ed in the water, due Jji all probability to the fact that cool weather Cc populsted the beaches to a large extent. .Mora Head 111 Mid-west The middlewest led all other sec iiftn. nf the country In the number of deaths with more than 60. of which 55 were due to auiomoone .nli si -to drownings.
