Nov. 5, when a German warshlp

leisurely attacked a 387ship convoy
midway between Newfoundland
and Ireland
Several hours before the Port
Hobart's appeal, Mackay radio in
tercepted call for help from the
Swedish freighter Anten.
Crippled
The Anten was crippled yester-
day by a submarine after picking
up survivors in an area OF the
new graveyard of the Atlantic"
off the Irish coast in which two
British steamers had been torpedo
ed earlier.
The Swedish ship reported it was
drifting due east and in need of
compass bearings and assist
ance."
A third vessel, which Mackay
radio said identified herself by the
call letters CLEO" messaged that
an unknown vessel had been
torpedoed "18 miles off Inishtra-
hull" the northern most tip of
Ireland.
The position given indicated an
unusually daring attack within
ready range of naval shore patrol
vessels. Most submarines have
piled much farther from land.
Mackay radio also picked up a
call from the 4,817-ton British
freighter Trehata reporting she
had sighted a suspicious vesseI'
about 5 miles west of Ireland.
No further word was heard from
her.
No Information
In Washington, the State depart
ment, navy and coast guard said
they had no Information on the
reported attack on the Port Hobart.
South American naval circles
have deduced from an ever-grow-
ing list of overdue" ships that at
least one powerful raider has been
at large in the South Atlantic, pos
sibly following the same route
taken by the ill-fated Graf Spec.
These sources suggested the pos
sibility that the raider was the
pocket battleship of the Spec class
which attacked convoy in mid
Atlantic early this month.
In that attack Germany claimed
to have destroyed completely an
86,-t convoy. Britain later said
that only four of the 33 ships in
the convoy were sunk, the rest
having scattered and escaped while
the Jervis Bay, an armed mer-
chantman, held off the raider in a
suicidal combat.
The British have maintained a
constant patrol, now headed by
Commodore F. H. Pegram and the
cruiser Enterprise, off South
America and the Caribbean.
One of the patrol ships, the aux
iliary cruiser Alcantara, traded
shots last July % with an armed
German merchantmen in the vici-
nifty Of today's attack. A '1ucky
shot, damaged the engines of the
Alcantara, the British said, and
the raider escaped.
1t was believed that the German
vessel, reportedly carrying four
hidden guns on each broadside,
was the 'Narvik," one of the new
Nazi 10,000-ton freighters.
Capable of 19 knots, she is faster
than most merchantmen plying off
the West Indies, and early in July
she caught and sank the British
freighters Davisian and St. John
several hundred miles east of the
Virgin islands. 3

 SURVEY CENTERS
 ON TECHNICAL CHANGES
 The committee making the report which operates under direction of Dr. Sherman E. Johnston, acting head of the Division of Farm Man. agemept in the Bureau of Agricul- tural Economies, and Dr. F. F. El- liott, special adviser to the head of the bureau, deals only with techno- logical developments on the farm changes caused by increased mech. anization, better soil practices, use of fertilizers and disease-resistant seeds, and the like.
 There are other factors equally important, according to depart- ment experts, producing equally grave trends: Increasing farm population pressure, rise in farm tenancy, extension of absentee ownership, decline of foreign markets and, most ominous and indeterminable of all, the Eu- ropean war and the consequences 1t will bring.
 On the basis of findings in the report, the Department of Agri- culture is up against the problem of drafting a program - and is having trouble doing it because some of the plans 1t believes are indicated might be politically risky.
 Department experts agree that there isn't any one answer to the

beginning to work equally great changes.
 Here are some of the changes which the department reports have already begun and are going to continue:
 At least 100000 workers will be
 crowded off the land in the next few years, by continued displace- ment of farm labor.
 0-A steady increase in commer- S cialized farming, coupled with a growth ill the size of the average farm in the corn belt, the wheat producing areas and in the south. o-Increasing disparity between ~ cash income of commercial farmers on good land as compared with income of those on poorer land. The established farmer with plenty of capital will be better of, the department concludes, and the little fellow with little capital will be worse off.
 A-Sharp increase in corn produc-
 ton due to use of hybrid seed. Without addition to corn land now under cultivation, the report says this increase is expected to amount to 100,000000 bushels year. .E-lncrease in wheat production, ~ due to use of better seed. C-Heavy increase in Livestock V production, due to improve mentS in breeds and to release for stock feed of hay and grain
