CHICAGO. June 26.-Heavy profit
taking and Liquidation battered
grain soybeans. lard and other COM
modities prices down sharply today
from the 1-to-15-year peak levels
reached yesterday.
Wheat lost almost 4 cents. corn
more than a cent, soybeans as much
as cents and lard a cent a pound.
The losses in soybeans and lard were
the maximum permitted in one ses-
sion.
Market traders attributed ths
liquidation partly to yesterdays
stern warning issued by Leon
Henderson, price administrator,
concerning speculation in essen
tial food commodities. His an
nouncement that ceiling is
planned for cottonseed oil, a COM
modify which has been a leader in
the recent price rise. we'll below
current prices caused much uneasi-
ness in the trade. Although the
New York cottonseed oil market
observed holiday, selling here
lowered prices about 20 to 90 cents
per hundredweight pounds, The
Board Of Trade had invoked an
emergency rule to limit declines
TO 81.
Rains in parts of the Southwest
and forecast of more moisture in
duced some buying Of wheat at
times. Private reports indicated
recent showers have delayed harvest
and that wheat is lodging badly in
spots in Kansas. Eastern bakers
were reported in the flour market.

Seo-Going Gilmore Learns What
Its Like to Be Tank for Russia

"If they get through, you do. If they
don't, you don't"
1t was something to think about.
This was among the first ships
loaded at this port with supplies for
Russia. Besides tanks, the ship was
packed with planes, spare parts,
corned beef, shoes, blankets and at
least one item from the United
States-bandage made in New
Jersey
Port authorities said supplies for
Russia were "just getting started"
A few ships already had left and
reached their destination, they
added.
Since we've been trying to get
these supplies off" one official said,
IT believe we understand better your
problems in sending aid to Britain.
It's easy to talk about aid, but it's
another thing actually to get 1t
under way"
Incidentally, it's strange feeling
to be sailing with such cargo. 1t
should be something to tell grand
children about.

only opened the starboard side Of
the ship but blew out the deck over
head and caused damage to the deck
house and bridge above. The for
ward bulkhead of the boiler room
was broken through, flooding the
next compartment, but the after
bulkhead, although detected, held
firmly, leaving the forward engine
room intact.
The ship was cut almost COM
pletely around from the turn of the
bilge on the starboard side, except
for the heavy deck edge and side
plating on the starboard side. This
plating held intact.
Although the forward boiler room
and a smaller compartment forward
OF the boiler room were completely
flooded, the ship remained upright
with very little change in trim.
Moreover, despite the fact that the
forward engine room was just abaft
the compartment hit, the machinery
was of such excellent type and de-
sign that the engine remained serv-
iceable even though the foundation
was slightly detected"

Germans
Continued FROM First Page.)

expected. The go slow and sabo-
tage also are severely hampering
German war output. That is why
today Germany is trying to enveigle
neutral workers to man her war
plants" 80
These British reports may be
tinged by hopeful Interpretation,
but their essence fits snugly into au-
thentic information from trained
neutral experts watching the Ger
mans in various countries.
Fitting together facts given by
German officials and trustworthy in
formation from countries around
Germany, the truth appears to be
that Germany feels keenly her great
man power losses in Russia and
shortage of skilled labor in her fac
tories.
Stream Dwindling.
Germany has recruited skilled
workers from all occupied countries
for the last year. Doubtless this
stream is dwindling because the
supply is less and because there is
evident growth of passive and even
violent resistance to German rule.
Raw materials may on the whole
still be plentiful in Germany but
her industrial overlords would be
supermen if they had anticipated
all needs. The British airmen would
be poor warriors if they had not
destroyed much material and dis
rupted many factories.
Complicating and accentuating
these shortages, industrial experts
see WEAKNESS of German workers as
slowing production. Germans for
years have been rationed somewhat.
Their work hours have been
heightened. There is no 40-hour
5-day week in the Reich. Scientif1cal-
" they may be we'll cared for, but
Britain learned in the last war and
this one that too many hours of
work produced less than shorter
hours.
1t is not known Statistically what
the results are in Germany, but
labor experts have concluded that
the German effort to recruit workers
at high pay is a pretty fair indica-
ton that she needs them badly. If
she didn't need them badly, they
say, she wouldn't brigade tens OF
thousands of possible French, Polish,
Dutch and other conquered, humil-
lated workers with Germans whose
minds they might poison and whose
work they might sabotage.
Finally, industrial experts say
Germany's pressure to import skilled
labor robs the occupied countries OF
their factory crews and gives the
Germans little If any supplies from
their conquests.

Stimson Denies Rumors
Generals Will Be 0usfed

Secretary Of War Stimson denied
emphatically today that the Army
will relieve its four field generals
from their commands.
Very emphatically there Is no
truth in such reports" Mr.. Stimson
said at press conference.
The persistent circulation of "un-
founded rumors" that any one Of
the four field generals might be re-
lieved, Mr.. Stimson pointed out, has
demoralizing effect on Army
morale.
The reports were founded on re-
pGted dissatisfaction of the per-
formance of some of the generals in
recent maneuvers.
The four men in question, upon
whom Mr.. Stimson intimated the
War Department has the greatest
reliance, are 1t. Gen. Hugh A.
Drum, lst Army: 1t Gen. Ben Lear,
I'd Army; 1t. Gen. Walter Kruger,
Sd Army. and 1t. Gen. John L.

A search party late yesterday
found the body of Warren D.
Youngs, 73, retired Treasury Depart
ment architect. who had been miss
ing since Tuesday in pursuit Of an
unusual hobby.
During the past three years Mr..
Youngs had set himself the task of
determining the location of all the
District boundary markers and max
ing a visit to each old stone. He
often told friends in the neighbor-
hood of his home at 5855 Potomac
avenue NV. about adventures he
encountered in plunging through
unfrequented territory on his hunts
for the markers.
Apparently Mr.. Youngs had just
brought his hobby to a successful
conclusion when he died of a heart
attack. When setting out on Tues
