Miami, Jan, 7.
Brought here by the rescue vessel El Oceano, 38 passengers and 30 of the crew of the wrecked Ward liner, Havana, landed to-day and told their stories of the thrilling rescue on the Florida coast.
Passengers were loud in their praise of the heroism of the crew, almost half of whom were former seamen aboard the ill-starred Morro Castle.
The crew manned the Hfeboats and took the passengers from the atorm-pounded ship in spite of a terrific gale and titanic sets.
TWO MISSING
The plendid record of the crew of the Havana, who were thought to have saved everyone, has been slightly marred by the report that one passenger and one of the crew are missing, or unaccounted for. It is hoped that they may be aboard the little steamor Peten, which is docking at Havann some time to z+y.
The Peten is believed to have 11 passengers tul 13 of the crew aboard.
STILL ON BOARD
The remaining 82 members of the Havana's crew are still aboard the wreck with the master of the ship. The vessel kas been hard- pounded and is still hard on the xhoals.
It is believed that faulty instru- ments were responsible for the. vessel's luss.-United Prem,

ROOSEVELT'S CRITICS IN BOTH PARTIES
Washington, Jan. 7.
Early comment upon President Roosevelt's budget speech reveals some concern in certain quarters at the prospective increase in the already staggering public debt.
It is felt by members of both parties that the public debt burden is growing out of all proportion.
Mr. Taber, Republican member of the Appropiations Commission, expressed the views of many of his party brothers when he said: "If we keep on in this way we are going to prevent recovery!"
Senator McNary, Republican, leader of the Senate minority, regretted the inability to balance the budget, but recognised the necessity of caring for the unemploy-
