 pRI0RITIES ORDER
Serial Numbers Sent 10 31 Alaska Operators for
 Preference Rating

Qualifications under the recent priorities order affecting mining supplies, along with mine serial numbers, were mailed out to 31 mine operators in Alaska today by Com missioner of Mines B. D. Stewart, as the A-8 preference rating on sup plies for Alaska mines began to get into high gear.
 Stewart also wrote the mine op- orators calling their attention to the ruling that they must file with his office by the tenth of each month a list of all orders for supplies placed during the preceding month under preference orders A-8 or A-1-A. The latter rating is to be applied to sup plies needed for immediate emer- gencies.
 Any mine operator who believes he is entitled to certification under the priorities order and has not been certified by Stewards office car apply directly to the Juneau office of the Territorial Department of Mines, Stewart said, and his request for certification under the order will be given all consideration.

ELDER HTS
 REEF NEAR
 PR. RUPERT
Fisheries Boat Being Sal vaged-May Be Sold,
 Says Olson

Rumors that the fisheries boat Elder sank last Friday morning when she struck reef off Green Top Island, near Prince Rupert, were confirmed here today by Clar- ence Olson, supervisor of the fish cries division of the Fish and Wild life Service, who returned yester- day from Wrangell aboard the Brant
 Olson said details regarding the accident were meagre as received by him from the five-man crew of the boat. now in Prince Rupert aboard the fisheries boat Pelican. Salvage operations are in progress from Prince Rupert, he said, ana the Elder crew will remain in the Canadian port until the ship is salvaged, then will go to Ketchi- kan on the Pelican and possibly take a commercial steamer to Se- attle.
 Earl Bright, fleet engineer for the fisheries division, left here this morning on the Princess Louise for Prince Rupert, where he will make an inspection of the wrecked Elder after she has been salvaged There is a possibility, Olson said, that the boat will be tied up. there and competitive bids called for sale of the craft.
 The Elder had been on patrol duty in the Kodiak Island region during the past several weeks and was headed for Seattle at the time of the accident, Olson said. Accord ing to reports received here, she struck the reef at 2:30 am. Wires received here indicate that the crew abandoned the vessel before she sank and went in to Prince Ru- pert. No statement of whether the Elder was completely submerged was received. Olson pointed out that the accident occurred in the same locality where the Alaska ran aground last spring. The Elder is the former halibut boat Idaho, 78 feet in length, built in 1914 for halibut fishing work and later presented to the Bureau of Fisheries.

Bloom and Fish Clash AngriIy
On Dictator Bill Witnesses

"Of course, it's a dictator BILL" Mr.
Fish said.
"Your statement is absurd" Mr..
Bloom shot back.
I'm 100 per cent right" Mr.. Fish
contended.
when you say this Is dictator
BILL" Mr.. Bloom shouted, you're
wrong"
Mr.. Fish used this phrase several
days ago in sending kilograms to
prominent persons he was urging to
appear at the hearings.
IF they are going to testify on
Presidents dictator bill, then they
won't testify, because there is no
such bill" Mr.. Bloom asserted.
At about that point Representa-
tive Johnson, Democrat, of Texas,
leaned over the committee table and
doomed at Mr.. Fish:
That question of witnesses is a
question the whole committee will
decide-not just one man. What's
all this row about? Just to get in
the newspapers"
Shortly thereafter, the commit
tee completed its deliberations, ad-
journed its morning session and
went to lunch.

Del Rio Fire May Bring
Check Of County Hazards
Earlier Story on Page B-1.)

A general inquiry as to what
safety precautions have been taken
by proprietors of Prince Georges
County's amusement centers to pro-
tect their patrons probably will be
undertaken by county officials as a
result of the fire which demolished
the Del Rio Restaurant at Bladens-
burg this morning.
No details of the inquiry are
available as yet, but it is known
that county officials conferred after
the fire and discussed the advis-
ability of such an inquiry.
Alarmed over the rapidity with
which the fire which demolished the
building spread after it first was
discovered, the question arose in
the minds of officials as to whether
other establishments have taken
adequate precaution to handle such
a situation.
It was learned that the investi-
cation will center chiefly around the
county's building regulations, par
ticularly as to whether they are
sufficiently strict and as to the type
of congestion of amusement places
where large numbers of people con-
gregate.
