Then came that fateful morn

Danny had been off morphine

there really was a "cure"-that

He stiffened in his chair and
his eyes met mine furtively for
an instant.

That remark was a mistake

For Visit 10 China

By the Associated Press.
Wendell L. Willkie. it was learned
today, has shelved temporarily his
idea of "look-see" trip to China.
The 1910 Republican presidential
nominee, who spent several days
last week in Indiana, has returned
to New York to make plans for pri-
vate law practice.
Mr.. Willkie made a flying tour to
Britain recently. and testified later
in behalf of the administrations
aid-to-Britain bill. Friends here
asserted that privately he would do
everything in his power to help the
measure, but that he would not
make any further public statements.
The presidential candidate, in
formants here said, has no definite
plans for the future. They reported
that he would like to 60 to China
for a survey, but that this was now
indefinite.
MI. Willkie, it was reported, wishes
to keep in close touch with the inter-
national situation and he was be-
lieved ready to give the administra-
ton any help he could in the

Torpedo Boats Sink
Two Enemy Subs,
Italians Claim
3 Naval Units Also Hit
In CusteIrosso Action,
High Command Says
b. the Associated Press.

| By the Associated Press.
ROME, March 3.-Italian torpedo
boats sank two enemy submarines"
in the Mediterranean, the Italian
high command reported today, and
added that an Italian submarine
sank three steamers totalirg 10000
tons in the Atlantic.
The daily war bulletin also said
two enemy" naval units had been
hit by torpedoes and another hit
by a medium-c -caliber bomb in "vio-
lent actions" which developed dur
ing the tussle around the Island of
Castelrosso last week.
(The British reported taking
this small island, off the Turkish
coast, last week and then said
they abandoned it after the
troops accomplished their OBJ
ject." The italian high command
said Fascists forces landed and
destroyed the British garrison
Violent Actions Reported.
During the operations ending
with the reoccupation of Castelrosso
violent actions developed between
our torpedo-carrying planes and
enemy naval units" today's COM
munique said.
"One torpedo boat and one de-
stroyer, despite violent reaction, at
tackled and torpedoed two enemy
units. Another enemy unit was hit
by our planes with a bomb of me-
dium caliber during the disembark-
ment of the enemy on the island"
A special communique identified
the British landing forces on Castel-
rosso as the "50th British Assault
Battalion" and said Italians had
killed or captured most of its 300
men
This communique, detailing ac-
ton from February Is to February
%. sale Italian heavy bombs hit one
| of five ships from which the British
troops disembarked last Tuesday.
After two-day wait because Of
rough seas, it said, the Italians re-
turned with f1otilla of light war
ships and armored motor boats to
land force of sailors, soldiers and
Blackshirts under cover of naval
guns and air bombers.
Detail of Action Described.
This force freed the captured Ital-
: ian garrison the same day, the COM
munique continued, and took some
prisoners. 1t then related this Sue
ceSsion of events:
The British began to take off all
troops from the tiny island under
cover of superior sea forces. Ital-
ian naval units closed in to harass
the operation and one armed mo-
torboat got close enough to shoot
two torpedoes at British light war
ship. One found its mark, the
communique said
1t declared an italian destroyer
also launched three torpedoes at
close range at a cruiser and an
explosion followed.
After half an hour of fighting, II
asserted. the Italians were mas
ters Of the situation"
Small groups of Fascist land
forces, fighting independently. were
said TO have taken more British
prisoners together with a British
flag and "a large quantity of ma
terial."

he said. "We built them for three
to six months usage; we figure now
that the camps will be used for
several years"
Contractors fired fees" cannot
exceed per cent Of the total cost
of project, Mr.. Patterson said, and
there is no way that a contractor
can lose money through poor orig
inal estimates Of cost.
Rising Costs Cited.
1t is not to the contractors in
terest for costs to run higher than
estimates, he added, since the fixed
fee is no higher. And economy and
efficiency is encouraged by a War
Department practice of giving ad-
ditional contracts to firms that dc
good, quick work.
Higher than estimated costs OF
labor and materials have also con-
tributed to increased cost of con-
tonments, Mr.. Patterson told the
committee.
The problem of high union initia-
ton fees on defense projects, ac-
cording to War Department con-
tracts. is the responsibility of the
contractors. he said. Under our
contracts the War Department has
no say so or decision in this mat

circle operating here to the benefit
of those who should carry the tax
load and don't. I'm trying to get
at those fellows who live in luxury" &"
Representative Hunter, who is
chairman of the Fiscal Affairs Sub
committee which first approved the
proposed amendments to the in
come tax law before they were sub
mitted to the full committee, said
his group soon would begin hearings
on proposals to substitute different
plan for the income tax. These, he
indicated, would include general
sales tax as well as the So-called
Pond plan discarded several years
ago which called for a combination
2 per cent sales tax and a tax on
incomes in excess of $4,000 a year.
Representative Schultz, chairman
of the Streets and Traffic Subcom-
mittee which has been conducting
an investigation of traffic problems
in the District, submitted a pre-
liminary report, which particularly
condemned operators of streetcars
and buses. He said that at his re-
quest the Police Department had
tailed" buses and street cars and
listed Al violations in three days.
These, he reported, included Jump
ing red lights" and speeding. In
some instances, he declared, the cars
and buses were found to be running
between 35 and 48 miles an hour.
Praises Subcommittee.
Mr.. Schultz also declared his sub
committee has been doing a good
job" in the face of criticism, and
| that since the traffic inquiry started
more than a month ago only two
traffic deaths had occurred COM
pared with 13 in the month of
January.
At the suggestion of Chairman
Randolph the committee appointed
a special subcommittee on national
defense. 1t will be the duty of
the subcommittee to cooperate with
national defense officials on local
defense problems. Mr.. Randolph
was named chairman of the group.
