Stout , Ba ranello Face Suits By Dominy and Hughes Lib e l , Slander Cha rged After Stout ' s Speech Following fast on the heels of a speech made be- fore the Community Demo- cratic Club of Farmingville Tuesday ni g ht b y Super- visor August Stout , Jr., came the announcement that a libel and slander ac- tion was being brou g ht b y Suffolk County Sheriff Charles R.

According to Mr. Dominy, Re- publican candidate for supervisor , Mr. Stout xvas to be served with a summons prepared by the Pat- chogue law firm of Ashare and HUGHES PLANS TO SUE In the meantime , former Re - publican County Chairman R.

Pair braved \Frances \ on fishing trip that was finally curtailed by bad weather. In above photo , they are docked at Cuttyhunk , Mass. BROOKHAVEN — Two out- board motor boat enthusiasts from Brookhaven returned last week from a 200 mile round tri p to Cutty hunk. Mass., in a 17-foot craft powered by a 40 HP two cylinder outboard motor. The two men , Joseph Adams and Francis Lester , both of Carman Boulex T ard here , embarked on what they hoped to be an extended fishing trip; however, the impending bad weather curtailed the voyage. The craft , a Thompson Sea Lan- cer, powere 'd by an Evinrude Lark , xvas trailered to Port of Egypt in Southold , the \ooint of departure. From there the small boat headed for Pt. Judith , Rhode Island , pas- sing to the south of the string of islands — Plum , Great Gull , Little Gull and Fishers — off the north fork of Long Island. While the winds — easterly, a week ago Sunday — xvere very light, the seas were comparatively turbulent. This condition is be- lieved to have been aggravated by the storm , \Frances \ , which had passed off the eastern coastline. The two m*? n spent the nigh*; aboard, sleeping on air mattresses at Snug Harbor , Pt. Judith. The next morning they were informed that a 40-mile-an-hour xvind had blown during the ni g ht. The har- bor is so nicel y sheltered by hills that the two were unaware of the storm. Small craft warnings were fly- ing the next day, but the weather bureau informed the adventurers that the xvinds xvould not exceed 16 rniles-an-hour. Nevertheless , it xvas sufficient to kick up seven foot seas in Buzzard' s Bay, which Continued on page 6 , this section Town Asks Wetlands At W.
