 CARRIAGES SHOW LOSS
 IN RECENT CARL DADS New York Scandal Over Food for Unemployed
 ArOuses Comment

Startling revelations of waste and inefficiency in the distribution of millions of pounds of perishable commod- ities in many sections of the country do not apply to the system in effect here, where only a comparatively small portion of the vegetables has been lost due to weather con- ditions, it was learned today.
 Cabbages, and other perish able vegetables, which have been sent out in enormous quantities by the EZRA commodity depart ment during the past few weeks, are handled in efficient manner upon their arrival here and are distributed as quickly as possible, wit hthe result that there has been very little loss.
 Few Cabbaees Lost
 According to Wallace J. Inglis, assistant commodity director for this district. under whose direction the vegetables are distributed. only 25 or 30 heads of cabbage in each of the last two consignnlents have been found to be unfit for use.
 Although the government sends the shipments in immense quanti- ties there is no difficulty in find ing needy families eager to take the vegetables, MT Inglis said. The shipments are divided among per- sons on the relief lists of the Mutual Aid, public welfare depart ment. EZRA, and other agencies, and the commodities are distributed so quickly following their arrival here that there is no chance foi spoilage.
 Ali Agencies Aroused
 New York. December 14-(CP) State and city relief agencies were accused today of permitting a breakdown of cooperative effort that caused huge spoilage of food intended for the unemployed.
 Bernard s. Deutsch, president of the Board Of Aldermen, aroused by the revelation that l, 1,400,000 pounds of potatoes had been ruined and that huge stores of needed food were piling up in storage because Of inadequate distributnig machin-

CREW OF SINKING
 BRIGHTER SAVED
Two Men From Rescue Ships Lost - Heroic
 Work Performed

New York. Dec 14-UP)-All hands were rescued today from the sinking s. s. Usworth in mid-At- lantic. Two men from the rescue ships were lost.
 The Usworth was awash but still afioat at 1:49 D. m. EST. at 4S.2O north, 32.10 west or about $50 miles east of Newfoundland.
 Persisting despite the capsizing of a lifeboat, the seamen from the Jean Jadot and the Ascania sent their small craft back through the waves to take off all of the crew of the Usworth. the Ascania advised Mackay Radio.
 There was some uncertainty for a time as to whether more than the two men from the Jean Jadot were lost. The Ascania reported she had IS survivors aboard and the Jean Jadot had two picked up after the capsizing. but the mes sages did not make clear whether others were lost. The Jean Jadot earlier had reported rescuing five from the Usworth which would make total of 25 survivors on the two ships.
 There were 12 men in the life boat which capsized.

Cable To Wilson In '17

TAXES THREAT TO
 COLLEGES CLAIMS YALE PRESIDENT
Testamentary Estates and Personal Incomes Are
 Being Hit Too Hard

New Haven Dec 14-UP)- Excessive taxation of testamentary estates and personal incomes con stitutes a serious threat to en- dowed universities and the back. bone of American democracy James Rowland Angel, president of Yale, pointed out today in his annual report.
 The nature and objectives of ed ucation as presented in American colleges and universities, he said may require reorganization to re- build the confidence weakened as a result of the depression.
 This thought has certainly oc- cured repeatedly to the thousands of embittered graduates of our colleges who," he said, after years of hard grinding sacrifice to win an education, have recently found themselves walking the streets in search of job-any job that would give them food and shelter. And their sense of futility of it all has often been most acutely directed toward our higher education.
 But sober second thought can only reinforce the conviction that, whatever their shortcomings and whatever transformation it may be expedient that they should under go, ill their essence the colleges and universities represent indis- pensible intellectual and spiritual values which our social order. if it is to endure at all, simply cannot afford to forego.
 "The distressing fate which has undertaken many of the continental universities, ravaged or their inde- pendence and prostituted to the dictates of political expediency, may we'll serve us as grim object lesson of the evils which may flow from violent social upheaval.'
 The depression, he said, caused institutions of the type represented shrinkage of capital funds ami staggering losses of income"
 Other more remote consequences, which he said he believed Ito be potentially far more sinister" in volye the tendency to excessively tax estates and personal incomes.
 The two largest sources of in come for these institutions will al most inevitably be dried up or, 1T any case, gravely impaired" ht said, If the present tendency persists.
 To meet this threat by complete reorganization of education thro- ughout the country, with shift ir it's objectives and complete change in its center of gravity he related, would be a sorry pro- duct of our democratic society, and one ruinous to some of the highest values which have been built up in our 150 years of national life"

Furthermore, a tendency to spend little more money on gifts has been noted this year so far. This information was obtained in survey of local business hous- es to-day.
 Store managers also reported that the tendency this year, more than ever, is to buy practical gifts rather than tokens of less useful value. Quality appears to be il demand more this year, thereby indicating an increased power on the part of the public.
