In another unanimous action, tho high tribunal also dinmined tho first test case on the Bankhead cotton con trol act. Lower Court Decisions Awaited No decision was handed down in the only other new deal case before it involving tho Tennessee valley auth ority act. Tho tax ruling, given in tho Louisiana rice millers case, did not cover whether the processors must prove they had not passed the levies on the consumer before recovery could bo made. Litigation, already jundor way in tho lower courts must decide that.

The treacherous shoal was named after the government sloop Peacock which went aground there in 1841 Just 94 years ago. The shallow waters lie on the Washington side near the mouth of the Columbia river, where vio lent southeast storms sweep un broken across the river. The breakers reach such siie they smash huge ships as a child breaks a toy. Peacock spit's greatest tragedy was in 1862 when the General Warren was shattered and 40 persons drowned. In 1913 the Hosecrans foundered with the loss of 33 lives. More recent tragedies had been less disastrous. Four seamen were killed when the Norwegian motorship Child groumlod May 4, 1934.

All Hands Drowned When Storm Drives Freighter on Spit Marine "Graveyard" Near Mouth of Colum bia River Claims Terrific Toll in Wreck of Iowa en Route From Portland ASTORIA, Ore., Jan. 13, (AP) The crushed hulk of the 410-foot freighter Iowa swayed to the swells in its grave of sand today while coast guardsmen searched for the bodies of its crew of 34 men. All were lost. At 1: p. m. eight bodies had been reported found. Five had been identified. Great Seaa Battle Vessel In the worst hurricane the North Pacific had exper ienced in years, the States Line freighter crashed Sunday on the sands of the southwestern Washington coast. Mountainous seas hammered and battered her to pieces in a matter of hours. Waves less cruelty, sweeping all life to destruction., Men Never Had Chance Captain Edgar L. Yates, 68, veteran of the line, and his crew of 33, "never had a chance," it was said by Captain R. Stanley Patch, commander of the coast guard cutter Onondaga. Captain Patch and his crew of 53 almost shared a similar fate as they drove through the raging gale in futile attempts at rescue. Five Men Identified The Clatsop county coroner said identification had been completed of the bodies of Marion J. Perich, car penter, New Orleans; and Charles Ogan, third assistant engineer, San Pedro; Au gust O. Meyers- boatswain, Portland ; Carl C. Bendixen, Bellevue, Wash, chief en gineer; James McHenry, Philadelphia, oiler. Two coast guard planes cir cled the wreckage today In an attempt to locate other bodies in the sea and point out their posi tlon to surface craft. Waves and an irreslstable gale clutched the freighter Just as it crossed out over the Columbia river bar, bound southward and tor the east coast. Slowly, at first, the ship was forced off Its course and driven northward. SOS Goes Out The oppressive force became greater an SOS waa flashed full speed ahead was ordered. . But the sturdy engines of the craft were no match tor the aroused elements, which had the boat in full retreat soon, and grounded on the spit where the giant breakers comb the shallow shore line for miles out to sea. A 76-miIe-an-hour hurricane waa blowing over peacock spit, and farther southward on the Oregon shore the wind reached velocity of 90 miles an hour. Two of the six battered and oil-smeared bodies were Identi fied. They were Marion Perich of New Orleans and O. A. Mey ers ot Portland. The bodies, re covered from the southern Wash ington shore, were brought to a mortuary here on the south banks ot the mighty Columbia river. Cutter Escapes Disaster Coast guardsmen and CCC men, swinging lanterns through the darkness, maintained an all-night vigil, patrolling every foot ot the 13-mlle beach between North Head and Willapa Harbor in search of other bodies. It was feared the rough seas would car ry bodies away again it tney were not recovered when first cast upon the shore. An even greater loss of lite wns narrowly averted when the coast guard cutter Onondaga veered toward Peacock Spit and was barely able to inch away from the danger sone.
