Four NYA Men Drown As Boat Capsizes
GRANTVILLE, W. Va., June 13 (AP). - Four young men drowned Monday in the Little Kanawha River, swollen to an eighteen-foot stage by rains, after their boat capsized. Four others in the boat swam to safety.
The dead, all employed by the National Youth Administration: Claude McCune, 19, of Nicut, Gracy Allen, 21, of Millstone, John Bowers, 21, of Big Bend, Cecil Truman, 22, of Oka.
