NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 3D.
The U. S. customs office here is
advertising for the owner of an
incendiary bomb.
He can have it if he appears be-
fore October 5 to establish his
claim, otherwise .'the said goods

This information came to light

in local newspaper in which A.

chandise seized over the last two
years, and held in the seizure

Listed was ''Incend. bomb. d
com booklets, l cut detonator, |

Pratt has been besieged with
calls seeking information. He
won't give out any details. One
customs house employee told a re-
porter the bomb was seized from
a foreign seaman, but no details
were available.
1T was said, however, that the
incendiary bomb would not be
sold. Its disposal will depend on
instructions from Washington.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. -
Harold D. Smith. budget director,
began the preparation of a record
breaking budget for the next
fiscal year and it may cost the
treasury $4,000, 900, 900.
The exact figure, however, will

IA So, 1000, 600, 900 budget would
mean $4,000, 100000 more than is
slated to be spent this fiscal year.
Smiths task, however, is some
thing more than arriving at a
huge total, for financial experts
hold that expenditures on such
an astronomical scale will be pos
sible only il defense production
reaches tremendous volume.
They explained that, in the last
analysis, the size of the new bud
get will depend, not on adminis-

Addressing the National As

He asserted that If anybody
wanted to repeal these laws, that

given the support of all of the
people, Republicans as well as

Germans Say II Is Possible
That Nal Raider Sank ShiD

fny Assacfnted I.ressl

u
NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-aIt is
entirely possible German raider
sank the American freighter Pink
Star" an official spokesman in
Berlin declared today in denying
any specific knowledge of the at
tack which sent the vessel to the
bottom Sept. 10 off Iceland.
The spokesman said it is pos
sible that the Pink Star was one
of Is ships destroyed in a convoy
by raider and submarines. In
any case, it was pointed out in
Berlin, the vessel was in the war
zone and its destruction could
have been expected.
The American state department
announced the destruction of the
Pink Star yesterday.
Sixth American ship to go down
in the war, the vessel was owned
by the u. S. government and was
flying the Panamanian flag.
The sinking occurred eight
days after President Roosevelt
warned in radio address that
American navy ships will shoot on
sight at Nazi raiders or sub
marines in the waters between
this country and Iceland.
Although the sinking was de-
scribed as unimportant in Berlin,
observers in Washington saw it as
direct challenge to President
Roosevelt and the navy.

that passage of the new measure,

In addition to the figures on
the number of vessels completed
and number of keels laid, it was
stated that 249 ships were
launched, including one battle
ship, one cruiser, eight subma-
rines and eight destroyers.
Rear Admiral S. nj. Robinson,
chief of the Bureau of Ships,
pointed out that the number of
workers engaged in ship con
struction had more than doubled
in a years time. He added:
"The establishment of the AZ
hour week and the development
of the 3-shift, 24-hour day, in
volving a tremendous augmenta-
ton of shipbuilding workers, is
effectively using the nations
manpower.
While the use of overtime has
increased the cost of construction
of naval vessels, the increase has
definitely been compensated for
by the accelerated speed of pro-
duction which it has made pos
sible".
Admiral Land said that in the
first quarter of 1912, the ship
building industry will deliver
more new ships than were pro-
duced in any year since the
World War, with the exception
of l941. He said:
TN the first quarter of 1913. if
we are able to carry out the
schedule we have set for our
selves, we will deliver more
shipping than was produced in
the United States in the whole of
1918, when America produced
100000 lightweight tons of
ships.
These World War comparisons
are made without suggesting in
any way that the Commissions
emergency activities are beyond
criticism. The only way we will
know whether the Commission
has succeeded in its program is
if the ships are furnished to de-
liver the goods. / think that up
to the present, we have used our
opportunities fairly well".

MISS LEoNoR WARREN. Ex-

REPORT ON MEETING CON-
QUOTED IN ocALA

Miss Leonor Warren, executive
secretary of the local chapter of
the American Red Cross has just
returned from Ocala, Fla, where
she attended a fiye-day institute
of training conducted for approx
mately fifteen secretaries drawn
from as many sections of the
state.
The institute was under the dir
rection of Glenn A. Whistler, now
connected with the Washington
Headquarters of the Red Cross
but who was formerly the field
district director for the state of
Florida.
During the course of instruc-
ton which emphasized Home
Service to our Armed Forces,
many problems confronting local
chapters relative to Army and
Navy Welfare were discussed and
the director explained In detail
the approach to and methods for
solving such cases.
Since Key West is one of the
national defense areas and many
men of the armed forces are
based here, the executive secre-
tary feels more competent now
to meet any demands that may be
made upon the local chapter
Plans for the annual Red Cross
drive which begins November
18th will be formulated at the
next meeting Of the board of di-
rectors of the local chapter. Since
the war has created unusual de-
mands upon national headquar-
tiers for relief, the local chapter
feels that our people should give
it their undivided support.
