Wallace Warns Farmers
Not 10 Ask Too Much
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Vice President Wallace advised
agricultural groups today to take
caution" in pressing demands for
higher farm prices lest they incur
public resentment, lose crop control
programs and suffer a terrible
debacle" when peace comes.
Addressing a national A. A. A.
conference, the former Secretary of
Agriculture said those who showed
a greedy, grabbing and political
spirit" during the present emergency
"can expect to reap the whirlwind
later on"
Mr.. Wallace pleaded for national
sacrifices by all groups, saying that
only the might of the United States
stands between Hitler and world
domination"
THE speed with which we are able
to demonstrate our might" he said,
may determine whether the democ-
racies are able to win and whether
we are to be drawn into the conflict"
Mr.. Wallace told the farmer rep
resentatives attending the confer
ence that when the war ends, they
could expect a powerful demand for
a sharp reduction in Government
expenditures and possibly the elm
nation of appropriations for farm
price-supporting and benefit pay
ment programs.

Nuzis Seized Radio and Blocked
SOS, Robin Moor Survivor Saws

Heavy rains and the broiling sun
punished us fiercely. The morning
of the eighth day we could no
longer see the others.
Il think the lifeboat the captain
was in headed toward Africa"
The narrator, who remained anon
ymous, was one of the seamen who
had spent 18 days in an open boat
under the tropical sun before being
rescued.
1--WE had to ration our food close
ly," he said.
Sometimes we all despaired of
ever reaching safety.
ut was worst at night. We rowed
10 days. I'll never forget those
awful days and nights.
1--WE almost went crazy with joy
when we saw the Ozorio and began
to live again, for we all had been
practically convinced we were dead
men.
Aboard the Ozorio they treated
us very kindly and there was food
in abundance.
Nov we are happy again"

House Votes 10 Permit
u. ). Office Buildings
Outside District
Agencies Questioned
In Search for Spoce
For Defense Work

The House today passed by voice
vote a resolution permitting con-
struction of temporary Government
Office buildings outside the District.
The measure must now go to the
Senate.
Earlier it had been learned the
Budget Bureau, in an effort to find
office space for expanding defense
personnel, has asked every Federal
agency with a central Office building
in Washington to show las soon as
possible" why it should not move all
or a part of its employees out of
the city for the duration of the
emergency.
Location of new defense Office
buildings was confined to Govern
ment-owned property within the
District under terms of the fifth
supplemental appropriation bill,
which made available 81, 100000 for
their construction.
Before this restriction, the Pub
Lie Buildings Administration had
planned to put some of the buildings
on the Arlington Experimental Farm
land Just across the river and it is
understood this site probably will
be used
Sites Left to CarmOdy.
A group of three temporary build
ings was planned for the grounds
of the Army War College. but the
site was abandoned at the Army's
request. II is likely that these build
ings now will be erected on the ex-
perimental farm.
Todays action leaves the location
of the buildings to the discretion
of Federal Works Administrator
Carmody.
The authorization was in the form
of provision in the $4,000 900 ap-
preparation bill for the Tennessee
Valley Authority.
While admitting it was sub
uniting questionnaires on Federal
housing. the Budget Bureau refused
to disclose just what agencies have
been sent the letters. An official,
however, said it was safe to assume
that every executive department of
the Government was being Ques-
toned.
I. c. c. Approached.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission is the only agency thus far
known to have been approached by
the bureau. Joseph B. Eastman,
chairman, said today he had re-
ceived letter asking him to set
forth reasons why the commission
could not carry on its activities out
side the Capital for the period of
the emergency.
He refused to comment further on
the nature of the letter, but said he
understood it was one of many being
sent to other Federal departments.
This was substantiated at the Bud
get Bureau.
It is understood the survey was
started by Mr.. Carmody with the
approval of the White House.

Industrial BUILDINGS
Blasted by Planes in
Ruhr, British Report
Heaviest Roid of War
Made on Valley by
R. A. F., London Says
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON, June 13-Many indus
trial buildings were blown into the
sky and numerous fires were started
last night IN Germany,,s great manu-
featuring region. the Ruhr Valley, by
a large force of British bombers in
the heaviest raid of the war on that
region, it was claimed officially to-
day.
The blasting, fiery success cost the
R. A. F. six planes acknowledged
missing from the bomber command.
Within a 50-mile radius in the
Ruhr area about three-fourths of
Germany's whole coal output is
mined and about the same proper
ton of her iron and steel industry
is there.
The district is linked by a net
work of roads, railroads and canals
between closely-set industrial towns.
Many of these were believed to have
felt the weight of the r. A. F.'s
blows since the communique dealt
with the valley as a whole without
mentioning any center specifically.
At home the R. A. F. fighter COM
mand was reported to have turned
back a forma alton of Messerschmitts,
retaliation bent, in a f1ve-minute
battle 10000 feet above the South
east English Coast this afternoon.
Several sharp bursts of cannon
fire were heard and, after one long
burst, a plane dived with a loud
scream that died out over the sea.
The attack on the Ruhr was the
heaviest carried out in a single
night against this industrial area
and great weight of bombs was
dropped" said the Air Ministrys
communique.
While the bomber command was
attacking the smoky Ruhr, planes of
the coastal command attacked docks
at Brest, France, and Antwerp, Bel

Morgenthau, Backing
Dollar Power Bill,
Hits Special Interests
Mention of Reserve Board
Report Gives Hearing
Acrimonious Tinee
By BLAIR BOLLES.

Retention of the Presidents au-
thority to initiate the currency by
reducing further the gold content
OF the dollar would serve to I'M
stabilize the American monetary
system and cause popular "uneasi-
ness and concern Senator Adams,
Democrat, of Colorado, told Secre-
tary of the Treasury Morgenthau
this morning during a hearing be-
fore the Senate Banking and Cur
rency Committee.
Senator Adams said the whole
question involved in continuing the
devaluation power Originally
granted in 1881 was this:
Shall we grant the power to the
United States to pay the public debt
in deprecated currency? 1t is a
dishonest, immoral act" .
Secretary Morgenthau appeared
before the committee in support of
the bill that would extend until
June 80, 1913, the dollar devaluation
power and the sterilization fund
with which the Treasury is now i'm
plementing the program of aid to
China and Western Hemisphere
solidarity. Both the authority and
the fund expire June 80. 1941. I'M
der present law. The bill carrying
the 1943 extension provision has
passed the House.
The Secretary, citing presidential
agreement with him. announced to
the committee he differed from the
conclusions of the report issued jan
uary 2 by the Federal Reserve
Board urging that Congress take
the devaluation power from the ex-
ecutive branch of the Government.
Mentions Special Interests"
In response to a question from
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
whether Mr.. Morgenthau did not
consider valuable the opinion of the
Reserve Board and the country's
bankers, the Secretary said:
Il represent 100 million people as
Secretary of the Treasury. I don't
represent special interests"
Senator Taft asked whether the
Secretary thought the Federal Re-
serve Board represented special in
terests Mr.. Morgenthau declined
to be drawn into the controversy,
although the hearing had an acri-
monious tinge. Senator Taft then
read from the Federal Reserve re-
port.
None of the eight Senators present
at the hearing opposed continuation
of the sterilization fund. Senator
Adams suggested that the two
powers were incompatible because
possession of devaluation authority
even though Mr.. Morgenthau said
its use was not contemplated-was
a contributor toward instability.
Senators Ball, Republican, of Min
nesota and Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut thought the prospect of
devaluation held people from buying
defense bonds. Mr.. Morgenthau
said the possession of the authority
