WASHINGTON, Dec. 21-Full re- sponsibility for the success or failure of the governments shipbuilding pro- gram was shouldered today by Chair man Hurley of the shipping board, tes- tifying at the senate commerce con- mittee's investigation of delays in ship construction.
 Called as the first witness in the inquiry, MT. Hurley admitted that there have been delays, but declared that the recent reorganization of the boards emergency fleet corporation for the first time gives the chairman of the board proper authority and fixes responsibility where it belongs. The dual organization of the board and the corporation, he said, has been done away with and the present general manager of the corporation answers directly to the chairman.
 The present organization" Mir. Hurley said, lis the only way that ships can be built. We do not need addi- tional legislation. If the head of the institution does not build ships it is because of his inefficiency and not be- cause of faults of the organization"
 From MT. Hurley and John A. Don- aid, who has been a member of the board since it's creation, the committee drew long story of the troubles of the board and the fleet corporation starting with the row at the outset between William Denman, first chair man or the board and Major General Goethals, first general manager of the fleet corporation.
 Besides organization faults, factors which have contributed to the delay in snip construction were given by MT Hurley as the navyS utilization o1 shipbuilding facilities, labor troubles lack of housing for workers, the neces- sity of building new ship yards anC changes in specifications of ships.
 The changes in specifications were made in wooden vessels two months ago, after some of them already were under construction.
 They were made, MT. Hurley said by Admiral Capps and his staff of de. signers when it became apparent tha1 the ships as contracted for originally needed larger timbers to strengthen them.
 The labor situation, MT. Hurley said is improving and the shipping board in cooperation with the war and navy departments and the Council of Ma. tional Defense, is working on a com prehenSive housing plan.
 MT. Hurley told of the difficultie the old board and the new had in get ting the building program started Tn, board found, he said, when it started out to build ships that IS of the larges l yards in the country were crowde, with navy work and that new facilitie must be provided.
 Tt is hardly fair to say that tn newly created facilities shall from tn very day they have been put in opera tion produce ships at their maximum capacity" he urged. Time is neces sary for expansion and for the devel ! opment of necessary labor"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Fuel SUD- plies in Michigan have reached such a low ebb that Administrator w. K. Prudden tonight asked manufacturers in that state to suspend operations of industrial plants from midnight tomor- row until midnight December 29.

 MT. Prudden's request was contained in telegrams sent after conference here with Fuel Administrator Garfield. It said:

HUNDREDS MORE IN
 VALLEY ENROLL IN
 RED CROSS RANKS

Sustaining the fine record of the first day of the intensive drive for Red Cross members, Phoenix chapter workers yesterday added several hun dred more names to the mercy roll of the organization. In addition to the hundreds enrolled, several prominent citizens made notable donations to the cause, thus making the second day even more successful than the first.
 There are but two more days in the intensive drive-today and Monday and all efforts will concentrate on Monday in the effort to bring the total of added members up to the 5000 mark.
 Campaigning started in earnest in Mesa, Tempe and Glendale yesterday and with gratifying results. While it is known that it will be a big task to add 5000 members to the roll the need is so great and the valley so pa triotic in it's impulses no worker in the drive has any debut but that the desired end will be accomplished by the time the lights back of the service flags are illuminated on Christmas | eve.
 Calls came from Ray and Hayden | yesterday for more supplies-more 1 buttons, badges and printed matter | The supplies were quickly sent for it l is appreciated that the Ray Hayden district has always been more than generous in it's response to patriotic appeal.
 Practically all of the nine down
 town booths reported last evening as much business done as during the | first day. If this speed can be sus-
 tained there is no doubt but that the
 desired membership will be reached
 and in this instance Phoenix and en-
 virons will have delivered it's quota

 The International Sugar commission is studying conditions next year and Rolph testified that it's preliminary estimate of raw sugar available for the United States is less than the probable demand. A total of 6,170,000 tons will be required and the supply in sight is 5,795,000 tons.
 A new consideration has entered into the consumption estimates. Pro- hibition has caused an increase, Rolph said, particularly in the South, where there. are. thousands of soldiers who, in the absence of liquor are using more chewing gum, candy and soft drinks.

FINLAND STARVING AND FOOD WILL
 DE SHIPPED SOON
Republican A. p. Leased WireJ

WASHINGTON, Dec. 21.-Provision for shipment of 10000 tons of corn and oats to Finland has been granted by the food administration and the war trade board upon evidence that thous- ands of the Finnish people are starv ing. An agent of the war trade board will be sent into Finland from Sweden to investigate conditions and make certain that Germany will not benefit by the American shipments.
 Dr. Kaarle Ignatius, special commits sioner of Finland, already has arranged for transportation, which will require about ten ships. He will get the oats and corn as rapidly as the cargoes can be loaded.
 In negotiating for the export per mits, Dr. Ignatius told the American officials that his people were in a pit fable plight Frost killed their crops last summer, and the situation in Rus sia has made it impossible for them to import food from that country. on which they ordinarily depended for half their supply. Twelve million dol lars had been paid for food in Russia which never was delivered, Dr. Igna- tius said, because starving Russians looted the trains before they could reach the Finnish border
 In addition to their famine. pr. Ig- natius declared that by supporting Russia in the war, his people had been stripped of raw materials for manufac- ture, their industries had been disor- ganiZed to turn out munitions and their finances impoverished by the payments of millions a year to the Russian government and the receipt of worthless paper rubles for their goods.

Italy Needs Grain

ROME Thursday, Dec. 20-"One of the very greatest services that could be rendered to Italy now would be the sending over of large quantities of wheat and corn meal" said Ernest P. Bicknell, director general of civilian relief of the Red Cross, who has just completed an extensive investigation of Italy's refugee problems.
 ''Italy's wheat shortage is known in the United States, but it is not known how entirely her population, both sol diers and civilians. depends on bread as the principal food. l visited every sec tion of Italy and everywhere was told that the first need was bread, with war munitions second.
 "The refugees problem will remain acute all this winter. It now is a ques- tion of helping to obtain work to make them self-supporting and to see that the family life is not destroyed. Venice offsrs the first example of all Europe of Nscientific handling of refugees by remSving families slowly but entirely, and taking along their working tools. Thus the manufacture of Venetian lace now is being carried on at Rim:ni as it was inNVenice and the same condition applies to the tobacco and leather fac tories.

THIRTY THOUSAND
SALOONS CLOSED
TOO MANY DISTRIBUTING AGENC-
les FOR THE NUMBER OF
BREWERIES

LONDON-Thirty thousand British
saloons probably will be closed with
in the next few months.
English brewers themselves have
suggested a sweeping measure on these
lines as the solution of difficulties
arising from the restricted output of
beer At present, they say, there
are far too many distributing agencies,
a third of which could be put out of
business without mountaineering the
public, while trade would be carried
on more economically.
England must quench its thirst on
100000 barrels of beer year or go
thirsty, under the recent government
restrictions, and the brewers are hur-
ring to meet the contingency.
In the rural district, instead of
breweries competing for business in
one locality through 80 saloons, %
of them VIII be discontinued and one
joint firm will supply all the beer
to the 10.

STRONG FRIEND
OF WHOLE WHEAT
OFFICIAL GIVES REASONS FOR
GREATER USE OF THIS
CEREAL
BY CARL VROOMAN

Assistant Secretary of Agriculture
WASHINGTON-W wheat which
can be bought in the grain at seed or
feed stores, is one of the best all
around cheap and nutritious foods jill
the country. Every American home
should keep a supply of whole wheat
When soaked for several hours and
cooked an equal length of time it
makes a delicious breakfast food.
Ground in a hand grist mill which
can be bought for three or four dol
lars, it is equally palatable when made
into bread or used as a cereal.
1t has been estimated that whole
wheat, cooked over night in a fire
less cooker, or cooked all day on the
back of the kitchen range, makes a
cereal costing lie the price of some
of the patent commercial breakfast
foods, and furnishes, moreover, fully
equal nourishment.
Whole wheat may be cooked with
out cracking or grinding, but it re-
quires many hours in a double boiler
to cook thoroughly. Whole wheat
ground in a hand grist mill should be
cooked at least three hours over the
fire or all night in fireless cooker.
To have the best flavor it should not
be too moist. The longer it is cooked
the better. 1t is possible to cook up
enough for several days and warm it
over as desired. If whole wheat is
soaked several hours, it will not need
to be cooked so long.
The bureau of chemistry has work
ed out recipe for bread made prim-
arily from home ground meal. Two
cupfuls of wheat meal, cupful of
white flour, IA cupfuls of luke
warm water, IL cake of compress
Yeast, l level tablespoonful OF salt, l
level tablespoonful of sugar, and /
level tablespoonful of shortening II
Cesired, is the formula. Dough of this
kind mas only 2-3 of the usual rise of
white bread. 1t should be baked |
slowly for ga of an hour.
Every American woman should know
md use whole wheat

state board of education, was intro
duced as a former resident of Latah
county. He said he came to this coun-
ty as boy of 81, spent p years here
and could never get away from the
pleasant memories of his years spent
| here. He said he was pleased to see
his old associates doing such effective
work for the betterment of the COM
munity.
DR.. E. o. Sisson gave an interesting
informal talk on the educational needs
of the state. He criticised the way
in which the business of the state is
conducted, especially the appropria-
lions for the educational Institutions.
He said that nobody knows how the
business of the state is transacted
Some Serious Problems
There are serious problems to be
solved in Idaho, DR.. Sisson said-prob-
lens that are deeper than the finan
cial ones. They demand intelligent
support of the institutions of learning
and the elimination of selfish inter
estS.
DR.. Sisson insisted it was time for
all citizens to look these problems
squarely in the face. He told of how
the legislature made up of 100 good
citizens worked for 81 days on the
making of laws and then placed 80
rer cent of the work on the desk of
the governor at the close of the ses-
sion.
Where Money Comes From
William E. Lee raised the point
as to whether the amounts appropri-
ated by the federal government and
the other funds were incorporated in
the amount appropriated by the leg
islature.
DR.. Sisson explained that such was
the case Of the total of $716,00O
for the maintenance of
the university, he said, 100000 only
was appropriated by the state.
