WILL LIQUIDATE
 BIG AUTO WORKS

Paris, Dec 21.-(UP)-The trib- unal of commerce today ordered a Judicial liquidation of the great Citroen Auto Works.
 The action was taken on g. peti- ton by Andre Citroen, head of the $11S,000,000 Societe Anonyme Citroen in an effort to avoid a bankruptcy that would throw more than 3O,000 workers out of jobs.
 Citroen, internationally known as the French Henry Ford" sub mitted the petition with the com panys balance sheet to the tribunal for investigation Wednesday,.
 Had the body decided against acceptance, the most probable all formative would have been bank ruptcy without advantages of liquidation.
 The government, eager to avoid a. crash that would have repercus- sions throughout France, negotiat- ed with banking and industrial groups to find a way to save the company. No definite action has been announced. Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin, it is known, is op- posed to direct government aid to industry.

SHIP AFIRE IN
 BOSTON HARBOR

Boston, Dec 21. (UP)-With five firemen already injured and many other firemen and seamen overcome by smoke. fire in the holds of the coastwide freighter ontario got out of control at mid morning and third alarm was sounded.
 The fire broke out late last night as the 301year-old vessel prepared to enter the Cape Cod canal en- route to Baltimore and Norfolk.
 She raced nearly 50 miles back to port as the 85 members of her crew, using watersoaked handker- chiefs as makeshift gas masks, bat tied the stubborn blaze with live steam.
 A few hours later the fire was believed controlled. Subsequently, however, it broke out anew, spreading through the 3,000-ton cargo of wool and general mer- chandise despite efforts of two fire boats and small army of fire fighters ashore.

AIR LINER GOES
 DOWN AND SEVEN
 PEOPLE ARE DEAD
Netherlands Ship H a d Three Passengers and
 Four of Crew Aboard

Baghdad, Irak, Dec 21-(UP)-- Burned wreckage of the Nether- lands air liner "Univer" was found today 10 miles south of lonely blockhouse in the desert. It's seven occupants, three passengers and crew of four, Gall NUetherlanders, were killed.
 British royal air force airplanes found the wreckage of the great flying hotel' an American built Douglas transport which finished second in the England-Australia air race.
 It was believed the plane might have been struck by lightning. It crashed south of Ruthbah Wells, a desert blockhouse fort guarded by Irak soldiers-the only building within 50 miles. The terrain is nearly level. and in normal circum- stances an airplane could land easily.
 The liner sent out an sos call Wednesday night, after passing Gaza, on the Palestine coast, en- route from Cairo to Baghdad. It was believed it crashed soon after ward.
 The scene is dismal one. Be- tween Rutbah Wells and Baghdad there is only furrow ploughed by royal air force tractors in 1918 and the only inhabitants are occasional wandering Bedouins.
 Aboard the plane were three passengers-D. W. Beretty, manag- ing director of the Aneta Press agency and one of the most prom inent newspaper men in Java, Dutch East Indies; Professor Wal Ter and D. Kort. Captain w. M. Beekman was in command, with !. Van Steenbergen as co-pilot, H. R. waalewijn, engineer, and c. Van Zadelhoff, wireless operator.

 Questioned by Clark about dis crepancies in war time wages paid soldiers and industrial workers Harris said: T agree with you that it's un- fair to pay industrial employees $1O or $15 a day while troops re- ceive $1 day.

 Fess Defends Himself
 Former Senate Republican Lead CT James E. Watson of Indiana told the senate munitions commit tee today he resented implications that he was involved" in a cam paign in 1920 to seek congressional favor for the du Pont company's dye industry.
 His name was mentioned in ear- Her testimony relating to tariff leg islation on dyes.
 Nobody ever needed to urge me to be protectionist," he said, Out no member of the du Pont family ever spoke to me about the tariff question at any time"
 Watson, a voluntary witness, told the committee he was "nettled' by newspaper reports linking his name to Lobbying" activities.

 It has under way now, or will start shortly, five major power develop ments to cost $146.250,000.
 Millions of dollars are being poured into "yardstick" dams ill the south, northwest and the Rocky Mountains. These are the Bonne- vile and Grand Coulee dams and power plants on the Columbia river in the northwest; the Forst Peck dam on the Missouri river in Mon- tana; Norris dam in Tennessee and Muscle Shoals in Alabama, Boulder Dam in Colorado, and the Casper Alcova project in Wyoming.
 Non-federal allotments for con- struction of power plants and dis tribution systems by municipalities and other local public bodies total about $55,00O,000, Ickes said About 100 municipalities have re- ceived federal aid for power plants
 Two such instances of PWA help came yesterday, when the admins trator announced grants to Colum- bus. O., and Lamonia, Ia. Colum- bus received $320,000 for a power house and Lamonia received $97,- 900 as grant and loan for an elec- trio system.
 Mayor Fiorello H. Laguardia re- turned to New York to prepare plans for a power plant upon which he hopes to obtain $15.- OOO,O federal loan. He has been assured preferential treatment ot the application.
 The swiftness with which the New York project developed, com ing as it did upon the heels of the Edison Electric institutes chal- lenge of the federal power pro- gram, suggested the administration may interest itself in development of a large eastern power project. In this regard 1t was pointed oui the St Lauprence river offers an Inviting possibility.
 Administration leaders have be- gun quietly to marshal support for the presidents utility battle among congressmen here for the coming session.
 Rep Thomas Ford, democrat California, said he would reintro- duee his bill providing for REC loans enabling cities to build or buy electric power plants and fa- cilities. His measure failed by one vote of being reported favorably by the house banking and currency committed last session.
