Fishermen Choose to Stay With Marooned Tug
Three fishermen Robert Gordon Orval Brown and Edgar Ladd on Whitefish Point island since January 10 refused rescue and will stay with their tug amid heavy slush and wind. Coast guardsmen scrabbled through drifts to reach them but the men decline aid, saying they have food for three days and light firewood. The rescue effort, led by W Kincaid, contemplates wind shifts that could reunite the men with the tug if conditions ease.

Supreme Tribunal Adjourns Without Ruling on TVA
The Supreme Court adjourned two weeks without ruling on the Tennessee Valley Authority act while pressing decisions on other matters. The court left intact earlier rulings that the AAA act is unconstitutional and that 200 million in processing taxes impounded in federal courts must be returned to taxpayers. Disappointing observers, the session addressed several lesser cases in brief, with the TVA decision anticipated for a later date.
