Fishing Boat
Deaths Solved
FORT MYERS, Fla. (AR) — Hydrogen sulfide, a
highly lethal gas that ean he produced by decaying or-
ganic matter, has been identified as the agent that
caused five persons to topple over dead after they peered
into the hold of a fishing boat. Dr. Wallace M. Graves jr„
a pathologist, says the deaths were traced to hydrogen
sulfide after autopsies and extensive testing of samples
taken from the boat.
The men died Sunday after being exposed to the gas
while preparing to unload fish from their boat, the Nov-
elty, at the Protein Product Co. docks at Charlotte Har-
bor. Authorities said the five men died within a two-min-
ute period. A sixth man, Lawrence Finley, was revived
by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and is reported recover-
ing.
Authorities said the deaths camp within seconds aft-
er one of the men turned on a huge hose used to wash
down thp hole of the boat. The hose also was used as a
vacuum tube to remove the water and the ship's cargo of
menhaden and herring.
Graves said his studies had not identified the source
of the gas. He said the gas is highly lethal in concentrat-
ed form and can he generated by decomposition of or-
ganic material.

Agneiv Faces Challenge
ANNAPOLIS. Md. (AP) — A circuit court judge
gave .Maryland Gov. Spiro T. Agnew Wednesday 31) days
to show cause why his extensive out-of-state campaign-
ing for the vice presidency does not constitute a con-
stitutional vacancy in the office of governor. Chief
Judge Matthew S. Evans of the Anne Arundel County
Circuit Court signpd the show cause order. There were
indications the governor would be served with it when he
arrives in Maryland Wednesday night.
The order waa issued after a suit was filed by an
organization known as Tax Rebellion, Inc., and its pres-
ident, Robert J, Edwards of Baltimore. The suit
charged that the necessity of extensive out-of-state cam-
paigning by the governor would constitute a vacancy
in his office.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The nation's postal clerks j’'0'' wher<1 he had taught 211
have voted to take the no-strike clause from their consti- a)
tution. But they stopped short of asserting their right to 1
strike. Some 1,400 delegates and officials of the United
Federation of Postal Clerks look Ihe action Tuesday at
their convention.
The federal government forbids its workers from
striking. Some unions such as the postal workers com-
plain that, as a result, government officials decline to
bargain over wages and working conditions.
During debate on the resolutions, one delegate, John
Bercury of Boston, asserted: "I don’t say we’re going to
go out on strike, but it's time we started to talk like
trade unionists. Let's stand up and show our muscle."
