Three Are Lost, II Missing
In Argentine Naval Crash
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 4-The
1,375-ton Argentine destroyer Cor
rientes sank in shallow water of the
Southern Argentine coast today
after a collision during naval ma
neuvers with the 680O-ton cruiser
Almirante Brown in which three
men were known to have been lost
and II others are missing, the Navy
Ministry announced tonight.
Fishermen returning to port from
the scene of the accident, off the
resort of Mar del Plate, 230 miles
southeast of here, indicated the toll
in lives was greater than that an
nounced by the Navy. They said
the cruiser was sinking and beyond
aid
The Navy said the Corrientes was
down in shallow water with her
stack above the surface and said it
hoped she would be saliva sed
Nine were injured in the crash,
which occurred yesterday evening in
a heavy fog.
The Corrientes was built in 1887
by Vickers-Armstrong of England
and carried normal complement of
130 men. She was equipped with
four 47-inch guns, eight smaller
weapons, and eight 21-inch torpedo
tubes. Her cost was close to
S2,000,000.

Chairman Hare said the subcom-

N. Y. A. director, who requested an
investigation of accusations made
by Controller General Lindsay
Warren.
Representative Keefe, Republican,
of Wisconsin, another member, said
that other witnesses would include
investigators who compiled the re-

Demands Of Defense
Roads in
Montgomery County
Officials UnobIe to
Obtain Needed Tor,
Oil and Stone

National defense requirements
have put the Montgomery County
CMd) roads program about a month
behind schedule and postponed the
beginning of work on the remodel
ing of the Silver Spring County
Building, it was disclosed yester-
day.
County officials are unable to OBJ
tain enough tar and oil for repair
ing roads or stones of the required
size for road construction, Joseph
B. Buscher, deputy clerk, told the
county commissioners at Silver
Spring.
The shortage is relative. however,
and the result of having greatly
enlarged the road program origi-
nally scheduled for this year. Ac-
tually more work has been done
since June Is than was contem-
plated when the program was
drawn up last spring.
Doubled Original Plans.
George McCeney, county road sup
erintendent in charge of lateral
roads and street maintenance in
the metropolitan area, explained
that about IS miles of roads and
streets were scheduled for resurfac-
ing this fall, but when it was learned
that materials perhaps might not
be obtained at all next year, the
program was doubled.
The difficulty has been in obtain
ing materials for the enlarged pro-
gram, he explained. More than
100000 gallons of oil and 260 cars
of stone have been used in attempt
ing to finish all work on the new
program. The county's equipment
has been increased from three
trucks and one roller to seven trucks
and two rollers to facilitate the
work, Mr. McCeney said.
Despite the delay. it is hoped to
complete the larger schedule before
cold weather puts an end to road
construction work, he stated. State
road crews nave been reported hav-
ing the same trouble in securing ma
terlalS.
I'VE are doing the best we can
under present circumstances" Mr.
Buscher said, 'and we want resi-
dents of the county to have patience
until We can get around to all the
work we have planned"
May Substitute Tile.
Although a contract for remodel
ing the county building, including q
new police headquarters and q
modern cell block, was awarded
Tuesday by the commissioners, the
contractor, j. G. Lohler of Wash
ington, is unable to promise g
definite date for work to start or
the project until materials are
available, Mr.. Buscher said.
In addition, cells made of tile
may be substituted for metal one:
in the new prison due to the demane
for steel in the national defense
program, according to Mr.. Buscher
The tile walls of the cell would bt
built up to a height Of 7 or
feet with a breathing space above

of delay in getting the buildings up.
13 Millions Donated.
The public subscribed S13,000,0 900
to the U. S. o. for their operation.
Last month Thomas E. Dewey, ma
tional chairman, came from New
York to confer with officials in the
War and Navy Departments, who
expressed grave concern that of $50
clubs planned and of 81 already
approved by Mr.. Roosevelt, not one
was going up.
Gen. Somervell's promise of "im-
mediate" construction was qualified
by the statement that actual build
ing will start as quickly as titles to
the sites have been acquired" This
technically, the Army said, can be
overcome in a hurry. Construction
will be paid for out of the $780,
100000 community facilities pro-
gram.
The Army got busy on the presi-
Dental order as soon as it was re-
ceived. The nine zone construct
ing quartermasters were summoned

to clear our college of a long standing
debt.
Am sure you have not forgot the
earnest appeal made by Bishop Moore
in our District Conference held at Col.
Inns. You will recall that Bishop Moore
told us that the books were open a

to the trustees and ministers to find ou
for themselves the amont of our in
debtedness.
We all feel that the bishop has done
his best since he has been in Miss
issippi and through his effort, with the
assistance of others, our school was moi
foreclosed. Between nine and ten
thousand dol airs was borrowed in the
effort to save the school ard the Pre-
siding Elders are being urged to raise
certain amount per district in order
that this borrowed money may be paid
back, after the c ose of the District Con-
ferences.
When we shall have paid this amount
back, we will have a little more than

face us making total of more than

may be clear of our bonded indebted
