Officials Here Dismiss Report
OF Crew Bottle Aboard Flint

Norwegian neutrality regulations by
anchoring in Norwegian territorial
waters.
I'VE took the ship away from the
Germans ourselves" Mr.. Webb wrote
his mother, adding:
Il got a big black eye out of it,
but do not care; that was one
hell of a fight. We had nothing but
fire axes and clubs where they had
guns. One of the fellows got shot
in the leg, and then and there a
free-for-a began"
In another letter, this one from
Junior Third Mate Carl Ellis of
Newtonville, Mass, to Robert Black
er in Baltimore, the German captors
were described as swell bunch of
fellows" but suspicious of every
thing" Also, they made a lot of
noise travelling up and down the
decks in hobnailed boots, the letter
said.
THE Germans were suspicious of
everything" Mr.. Ellis wrote. If I
stood on the deck and stared at the
horizon for any length of time one
Of them would come over with
glasses and stare, too. One of the
first things they did was to take all
our cameras and expose the films
The 22-year-old officer, who COM
manded one of the lifeboats that
rescued survivors from the sunken
British liner Athena, said the crew
was unable to ascertain where they
were going and what would become

Police Probe SHOOTING
OF Hospital Technician

Police today launched an investi-
cation into circumstances surround
ing the accidental shooting last
night of Sunny Vivian Hoath, 30
year-old hospital technician.
Miss Hoath was in Emergency
Hospital with bullet wound in her
thigh, and Detective Sergt. Eugene
Lambert said he planned to question
her on some aspects of the shooting
which puzzled him.
She was removed to the hospital
last night from the apartment of a
friend, Mrs. Mildred Roberts, 2901
Connecticut avenue NV, where the
shooting occurred.
Miss Hoath told police she had
found gun in her automobile when
she had arrived at her friends
home. She did not know how it had
gotten in the car, but put it in her
pocketbook.
A few minutes after entering the
apartment she was in the kitchen
and dropped the purse. The gun,
32-caliber Spanish automatic,
went off, the bullet striking her in
the hip, she said. A private physi-
clan was summoned and gave her
flrst-aid treatment. She was then
sent to Emergency Hospital.

French Big Guns Bias
Perl Sector, Ending
35-Hour Calm
Luxembourg Corner
Under Heavy Fire,
Germans Report
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-French artil-
lery abruptly ended 35-hour silence
on the western front today with
heavy shelling in the Perl sector. at
the junction of the German, French
and Luxembourg borders, the official
German news agency reported.
The agency, DNB, said the rest of
the l00-mile western front sector
between the Moselle and the Rhine
Rivers was quiet.
On the Upper Rhine front, French
searchlight batteries were active
during the night at several points.
DNB interpreted this as due to "the
enemy's nervousness.
The agency said that there was
heavier rifle and anti-tank fire here,
and that floods had forced the
French to clear out of some bunkers.
Reconnaissance flights of the Ger
man air force over France and
England during the past few days
have yielded important results -
DNB said. The agency reported
"ineffectiveness" of French anti
aircraft fire and said that British
chasers southeast of London did not
hamper German reconnaissance.
DNB said the enemy did little
accommodating yesterday, as Ger
man pursuit planes met no enemy
planes over German territory.
German submarines, cooperating
with the Nazi airforce in the Baltic
and North Seas, have compelled l27
merchant ships to enter German
harbors for search since the begin
ming of the war, DNB reported.
Tonnage of the vessels searched,
1t was said, totaled 245 Ass. Because
the ships or their cargoes were not
subject to seizure under prize laws,
they were discharged, DNB stated.
In addition, the report said, several
hundred other merchantmen were
halted on the high seas for search,
but released Immediately.

An Owl Explains q Change
In the I one of q Doorbe||

This is story of the mystery of
the doorbell that changed its tone,
or screech owl in the cellar.
The Sherlock Holmes of the story
Is Mrs. James R. Kirkland of 1919
Underwood street NV, whose hus-
band is former assistant district
attorney and now a professor at
George Washington University.
For several days mysterious things
have been taking place at the
Kirklands' new home. There have
been strange scratching sounds in
the basement. Sometimes late at
night they thought they heard f1ut-
tering of wings. or was it just the
wind blowing the limbs of a tree
against the house?
The plot thickened yesterday when
Mrs Kirkland short-circuited door,
bell. "Whoo-oo-oo, whoo-oo-ooo, "
she heard.
"Ah," thought Mrs. Kirkland, the
doorbell's changed its voice"
A little later the mystery was
cleared up. Mrs. Kirkland had oc-
casion to 60 to the basement. She
was busy with some work when

The story Of a City of Flint seaman
that the crew of the American
freighter fought a hand hand
battle~with its German captors to
retake the vessel before Norwegian
officials forced its release was dis
missed with a laugh by ofiicials
here today.
The fight between the American
sailors and the German prize crew
was reported by John Edward
Webb, rs, a member of the City of
Flint crew, in letter to his mother
at Norfolk, Va, according to an As
sociated Press dispatch.
That's one for the book COM
mented an official here with access
to the official reports on the City
of Flint case, including an affidavit
by the vessels skipper, Capt. Joseph
A. Gainard.
There has been no hint in the
official reports of any fight, it was
emphasized. The official version is
that Norwegian authorities released
the ship to its American crew after
its German captors had violated

she explained. TT sounded no less
than an eagle"
1t turned out to be considerably
less. A screech owl had found the
Kirkland basement to it's liking and
had taken up its abode there.
Thinking more experienced hands
were needed to cope with the in
truder, Mrs. Kirkland telephoned
to the Zoo. In due time Assistant
Headkeeper F. o. Lowe arrived on
the scene.
Mr.. Lowe donned some heavy
gloves and entered the basement.
In a quick set-to in which Mr.
Lowe used a broom to good ad-
vantage the owl was overcome,
screeching loudly.
That screeching, Mrs. Kirkland
said, was what she thought was the
doorbell changing its tone.
Outside Mr.. Lowe perched the
owl in bush. 1t looked owlishly
about, f1uttered its wings and took
off.
I'VE like to give them their free

They catch lot of mice"

Schultz 10 Demand
Milk Code Equality
For Independents
Indiunun Returns
To Appear at Hearing
On U. S. Supervision

Representative Schultz, Democrat,
Of Indiana, champion of lower re-
tail milk prices in Washington, an
nounced today he would demand
that the Department of Agriculture,
IN adopting any milk marketing
code for the local milkshed, pre-
scribe the same treatment for in
dependent producers as for men,
bers of the Maryland Virginia Milk
Producers Association
Abruptly curtailing tour of his
congressional district, Mr.. Schultz
returned to Washington to appear
at public hearing called by the
Agriculture Department on the as
soclation'S proposal for re-establish-
ment of Federal supervision over
the local milkshed, with a schedule
OF minimum prices to be paid by
distributors to producers.
Mr.. Schultz, who took a promi-
nent part in a congressional inves-
tgatlon last spring of the District
milk situation, has charged repeat
edly that the Maryland Virginia
Association, whose members fur
nish more than 80 per cent of
Washington milk supply, has mo-
nopolized the local market.
Fears Squeeze Out"
II am afraid the independent pro-
ducer may be forgotten in this new
proposal of the Virginia
Association" he said. Il am going
to insist that all dairy farmers ship
ping milk into Washington, whether
they belong to the association or not,
be given equal rights and privileges.
Otherwise, the association would be
In position to squeeze out inde-
pendents and strengthen its con-
troll over the Washington market
AS a result of the congressional
milk investigation, Mr.. Schultz in
troduced a bill which now has a
preferred position on the House cal
endar to open the District milk mar
ket to producers outside the local
milkshed. A flood of milk and cream
from the producing areas of
Indiana, Wisconsin and other States,
he contends, would serve to force
down the retail price in the District
Existing law restricts the local sup
ply for fluid consumption to the
present milkshed, which embraces
Maryland, Virginia and small Sec
tions of West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania-an area in which District
Health Department inspectors regu-
larly check the cattle and dairy
barns of producers who ship to the
Washington market.
Hopes for 11-Cent Price.
There is no reason why the re-
tail price of milk in Washington
should not be reduced to IL and
even II cents quart" declared Mr.
Schultz. Il fought for a reduction
at the last regular session of Con-
gress and intend to renew my fight
more vigorously at the coming ses-
sion in January.
Il am told that the retail price of
grade A milk-the only grade al
lowed to be sold in Washington for
fluid consumption-was recently re-
duced in Baltimore from IA to II
cents quart. Some of the same
farmers supplying the Washington
market ship milk to Baltimore. If
the price can be reduced to IL cents
in Baltimore, there is no reason why
Washington consumers should be
forced to pay IA cents"
Mr.. Schultz is one of the ranking
majority members of the House Dis
trict Committee.

haven't received it back, although
the price of feed, the cost of labor
and the price of tin from which most
tools and accessories in the dairy
business are made) have risen as a
result of the war. Mr.. Derrick said
that the farmers are getting in
creased prices for other commodi-
ties, but not for milk.
The adoption of the milk market
ing agreement and order would do
away with the fiat rate for milk
which Washington diaries now pay
for milk from farmers who are not
members of the association. The
association includes about 1,4OO
farmers and supplies more than 80
per cent of the milk sold in the
Washington area, comprising Sec
tions of Prince Georges and Mont
gomery Counties, Md, near Wash
ington. The agreements purpose is
to stabilize the market.
Minimum Prices.
If the Secretary of Agriculture is
impressed by the arguments in the
record in favor of the agreement
that its adoption would improve
marketing conditions here without
hurting the consumer, it is likely
that he will approve it. The pro-
posed agreement sets minimum
prices for class /, fluid milk, $317 a
hundredWeight in Washington, $27l
in Maryland; class 2, cream, cottage
cheese, etc, $198 a hundredweight,
and class 8, milk for ice cream, price
related to the varying butter price.
Another provision provides for
$2.71 for class l milk to be dis
tributed through the cooperation of
the Washington government and the
Agriculture Department to relief
clients and low-income groups at a
specially low retail price. Mr.. Der
rick said that this provision would
mean increased consumption of milk
in Washington. but one of his men,
bers stated that he favored the relief
price only if surplus milk were used.
