 TO EUROPE TODAY

They are proceeding under sealed orders to Gibraltar and Bristol channel ports, and on arrival will await word from food administrator Hoover as to their final destinations. Those going to Gibraltar, are expect ed to proceed to Adriatic and Mediter- rainin ports and the others to French and Belgian ports.
 Preparations to ship at an early date approximately 250,O00 tons of foodstuffs from the United States for the relief of the civilian population of Austria now are under way, it was learned here today.
 Washington, Nov. 19.--One of the last acts of MT. Hoover, before sailing last Saturday, for Europe was to ap- point a special shipping committee, headed by Theodore Whitmarsh, of the food administration. to cooperate with the shipping board and the com- mittee for relief in Belgium. in facili- tating the shipment of food to the de- moralized civilian populations in the countries devastated by war
 Neither the number of ships in- volved i'll the present movement nor the preparation that would be divert ed at Gibraltar, for relief of southern Europe and the Near East, could be learned at the food administration. It was the final arrangements for feed- ing the peoples freed from the yoke of German militarism is awaiting the arrival of Mir. Hoover in Europe, and the result of his survey of the situa- tion there.
 The purpose of sending some of the ships now going to Gibraltar and others to the channel ports, it was explained, was to have immediately available at convenient ports supplies to ship quickly where MT. Hoover finds the need to be the most urgent.
 Officials here of the commission for relief ill Belgium, believe the destina- tion of the ships on their way to Gib- raltar is the port of Trieste. The ships now on their way are under stood to be the first that have left American ports with food for coun tries other than northern France and Belgium. It was said that more than 100000 tons of food monthly will be required to relieve distress in central Europe, and the Near East.
 Increased shipments from American ports and the Argentine for the peo- ples of liberated northern France and Belgium started several weeks ago.

FOOD DICTATOR HOLDS HEARINGS
 ON VIOLATIONS
Ginsberg Case Reopened When Defendant Takes
 An Appeal.

Food Administrator D. Fairchild Wheeler held a hearing yesterday on several cases for violation of the Food Administration regulations concerning the sale of flour without 
 The first case to be called was that of Mrs. Ang1line Amibile, who con- ducts a grocery store at 355 Grand street. Witnesses testified to the pur- chase of flour without the required substitutes but as the defendant did not appear no definite action was taken. Attorney Edward McManus, appearing for the Food Administra- ton, stated that several notices had been given the defendant regarding appearance at the hearings and that her failure to appear constituted con- tempt of the administration. MT. Wheeler stated that he would make a recommendation to State Food Ad- ministrator Robert Scoville regard ing a proper penalty.
 The case of Laura Ginsberg of Co., lumbia and Gregory streets who was fined $10G at the last hearing, was re-. opened and Attorney Flnklestone ask ed for a reduction of the fine. Mr Wheeler said that he would take the matter up with MT. Scoville, and mo- tify MT. Finklestone as soon as pos sibIe.
 John Pivarnik and wife, who jointly conduct a grocery store at 2S7 Hallet street, were not fined for their violations as they gave considerable valuable information to the adminis- tration.
 Angelo Loconto and Angelo M. Loconto, Jr., were found guilty of peddling flour in large quantities and selling same without substitutes. MT. Wheeler had recommended 1 suilable penalty which will be i'm rrsed upon the advice of MT. Sco- vile.

REIMBURSEMENT IN THIS CITY STILL VERY UNCERTAIN
Hawley Believes No Real Inconvenience Will Be
 Felt By Workers.

That the conditions which will exist in Bridgeport during the period of re- adjustment, are still but matter of speculation, is the opinion of the authorities concerned. A notice has been received by all local manutac- turers ordering complete statement of the progress of the work called for in the government contracts which they have on hand. The government wishes to have the information in such a condition that the commission which will be appointed can settle the contracts with the least inconven- fence to all parties concerned, and do so as speedily as possible. In the statement. issued by the Bridgeport District Ordnance last week, this con- mission was mentioned as certain, al- though no individuals were mentioned as probable members.
 George Hawley, president of the Manufacturers Association this morn ing stated to Times reporter that the advices he had received from the government in regard to the cancella- ation of the contract were not definite, we do not know what the govern IIGHl lulGlluS lD GtN puI We 1SSI l4ldS with the adjustment of hours no real inconvenience will be felt" MT. flaw ley was not prepared to state just what would take place in the local shops upon the cessation of war work, but felt that most of the factories would be able to proceed upon a pre-war basis without any long delay.
 At the Machinists Union this morn ing much dissatisfaction was expressed regarding the conduct of the Ameri can & British Go. in compelling the machinists to work overtime regard less of the government request.
 A conference was also held this morning between Samuel Lavit, busi. ness agent of the Machinfsts' Union and Alpheus Winter, representative of the War Labor Board, concerning the failure of the Harris Engineering Co. to give the men the back pay awarded them.
