April 2 (AP)- Peaths exceeding 100 were be lieved to have occurred today in the capsizing of the overloaded ferryboat Wakato Maru off the Island of Kysuhu, southern Jap an. Forty-eight bodies bad been recovered a few hours later, and the search was continued. Soon after leaving the coal ex porting port of Wakamatsu for the town ot Tobata, the ferryboat was lashed by a gale that swept waves aboard. She was carrying at least 200 passengers, twice her normal capacity. These rushed to one side t the laboring, ferryboat to avoid drenching. Their weight caused the little boat to turn over With the exception of two Ser bian girl dancers who are miss ing, all the dead are believed to be Japanese. Summoned to the rescue by signals of distress, numerous craft rushed to the scene and picked up many survivors. The plunge of the Wakato Maru was so sudden, however, that scores were carried down with the vessel and others had no chance in the rough sea. other shipping disasters were feared as coasts of the four main islands of Japan were tripped by storms.

REIMHARTS FRIEfffl I Loren Mendel!, Endurance Flyer, Charged With Smuggling Japs -J MEXICALI, Lower California, Mexico, April 2 (AP) Accused of an alien smuggling plot, Loren Mendell, who once N shared the world record for an airplane en durance flight was arrested in a Mexican Tillage near here today and his luxurious six place cabin biplane confiscated. The arrest was made as Men-' dell's plane settled down on the flat sandy terrain near Black Butte, 27 miles south of this bor der city. Only an automobile was in sight. In it were Mexican cus toms officials, three members of the United States border patrol and two Japanese. The aliens, the Officers said, bad confessed they were in Black Butte awaiting an airplane to take 'them to the United States. While the party rode back here in the torrid, desert heat, Men dell admitted his mission. He said he was driven to "take a chance" because of debts and need of mon ey to support a wife and three children, who are living In Los Angeles. Last summer, Mendell and Pete Reinhart, at Los Angeles, set a world's record of 238 hours of continuous flight. It since has been exceeded. The plane seized was given to them by an airplane manufacturer in recognition of their achievement. Afterward Mendell bought out Reinhart's in terest in the ship. Last fall Mendell won attention by taking first place In the Oak-land-to-Cleveland derby of the na tional air races. Since then, he said, be had been doing private flying but "things were pretty lean." IS SOLVED m UST PORTLAND. Ore., April 2 (AP) A mystery which has puz zled clerks in the office of County Cleric a.

In his message to the couku accompanying the ordinance with his veto, the mayor contends that obligating' the city in the amount of $7,000 Is not Justified under the circumstances. An effort to pass the ordinances over the veto, -which requires a two-thirds majority of the coun cil, will be made by champions of the municipal ownership cttws next Monday night.
