It aims to halt the onrush of the sand and to permit a 30-foot deep channel in Jamaica Bay instead of the present 23-foot one. Army engineers estimate the breakwater must halt the 2,400,000 cubic yards of sand which each year are swept westward along the South Shore by wind and wave to Rockaway Point.

The regular ferry from Sheeps-head Bay to Rockaway Point not being in operation yet, it was necessary to make the trip across Rockaway Inlet in the work boat Caddie. Rork Brought to Job Tirst view of the work revealed three giant floating derricks, anchored along the- inner tip of Rockaway Point, transferring to 23-foot" long dump cars rock brought in barges from the Palisades, where a new bridge is being reared across the Hudson, and from city subway excavations. Some of the rocks weighed 20 tons each. They were handled by chain slings. Others, as light as six pounds, were shifted on wooden platforms, called skips, to the dump cars.

The cars were on railroad tracks leading a mile across sand to the outer ti of Rockaway and then along a spindling trestle being built further out into the Atlantic day by day. An eight-ton gasoline locomotive grunted and pulled in front of a train of four dump cars. It stopped at the proper place on the trestle. Dug hooks were knocked out and the cars spilled their rock over the side of ths trestle. Hundreds of sea gulls took wing at the splash.

The Sand Fights A northwest wind was whipping the sand about, and H. T. Titus of 20 E. 18th Brooklyn, field superintendent for Merritt Chapman 4z 8cott, who have the contract for building the breakwater, revealed that the sand is not yielding without a fight. "This is nothing," he said.

"Sometimes the wind hurls the sand around like snow. It bites into the men's necks and faces. It drifts several feet high over our railroad After a spree on his bonus loan 8ergt. Avery Dyal was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment last night. A revolver was on the bed beside his body.

After friends told of the pace the 45-year-old war veteran had been hitting police decided it was a sui- Cl09. Dyal was attached to the headquarters company of the 18th Infantry at Fort Hamilton, where he tracks and we have to dig them out with shovels." Mr. Titus revealed that each dump car carries 20 tons of rock. About 200 tons of rock are being put into the Jetty each day. Approximately 250,000 tons are needed, The work will take at least two years.

The trestle over which the rock Is carried now reaches 800 feet Into the Atlantic. It advances 42 feet a day, new piles being jetted, that Is, put into holes blown In the sand by powerful air pumps. At present the rock level is only a few feet above the surface. Eventually it will be more than 15 feet out of water and 15 feet wide. How the Jetty will oppose the sand can be seen already.

On the eastern edge of the slender rock finger already laid down the sand Is piling up and spreading out. Several acres of new land already have been created. Hundreds of acres will be made by the completed breakwater. It looks as if the sand is licked. But Titus was not so sure.

"Sand is tricky," he said. "You can tell what It has done In the past, but you never know exactly what it will do in the future." U. S. Citizen Sought In Italy as Slayer Turin, Italy, April 6 Giuliano Mortara, a naturalized American citizen who returned here four months ago from San Francisco, was being sought by police today in connection with the slaying yesterday of his 80-year-old mother and his brother, Luigi, 47.
