would have fired at us.

Just as we decided to give up the
chase and return to our original

and the submarine submerged.
The next day, he said, the sub
marine reappeared, tied a lifeboat to
its stern and put all survivors in It
During the subsequent two-day voy-
age, he said, the motion pictures
were taken, apparently for propa-
ganda purposes.
They were then taken aboard the
submarine, held there for two days
and three nights and ate only maca-

"'Why do you help the English2'"
Dedoyard quoted the submarine
commander as saying. He replied:
"Why do you help the Germans?"
The survivors were put ashore at
the Azores. On the return to Eng

said, his ship was attacked by planes
of the Irish coast and sank, but

Congressional Action
Awaited on Charge
F. ). A. Wastes Funds
Head Of Farm Bureau
Says Ageney's Practices
Are NotionoI Disgrace

A demand for . congressional in
vestigation Of the Farm Security
Administration, based on charges
that it had burdened farmers with
unnecessary loans and had wasted
Federal funds to the extent OF ma
tional disgrace, awaited action to-
day.
Edward A. O'Neal, president Of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, made the charges before The
Joint Congressional Committee on
Reduction of Nom Essential Federal
Expenditures yesterday, and asked
a thorough investigation to supple
ment studies by federation officials.
while we did not have the time
nor the facilities to make a COM
plete investigation, Mr.. O'Neal said,
"the preliminary findings indicate
some startling and shocking condi-
tions Of waste, extravaganza and in
defensible practices In the admins
tration of this program"
La Toilette Asks for Evidence.
Challenged by Senator La Toilette,
Progressive, Of Wisconsin to present
evidence on which the allegations
were based, Mr.. O'Neal said that
would be done at later hearing by
Donald Kirkpatrick, general counsel
Of the federation.
Senator La Toilette said he would
then ask that F. 8. A. be given
opportunity to rebut the evidence.
The federation Is q private organ
ization Of farmers. The F. s. A..
Federal agency, is concerned pri-
marily with extending aid to debt
distressed small farmers and to
tenants who want to become land
owners.
Mr.. ONeal appeared after c. B.
Baldwin, Farm Security Administra-
tor, defended as perfectly proper
thing" the agency's practice of class
ing poll taxes, along with other
taxes, as an allowable expenditure in
determining the amount of a re-
habilitation loan.
Greene's Statement Resented.
Probate Judge Robert K. Greene
OF Greensboro, Ala, had testified
that F. S. A. funds were being used
to pay poll taxes of the agency's
loan clients and said that citizens OF
his community believed that was for
the purpose Of influencing votes"
. Mr.. Baldwin said he would take
immediate steps to have prosecuted
any F. S. A. employe who sought
to influence votes.
Il deeply resent the implication
OF Judge Greene's statement" he
said, adding that he would con-
tinue to regard poll taxes as an
allowable expenditure.
Mr.. Baldwin told the committee
that one object Of rehabilitation
work was to make farm families
"self-respecting members of their
communities" and to encourage
them to undertake the response
bilities and obligations that go with
citizenship in a democracy"
He said an Agriculture Depart
ment attorney had advised him that
the practice did not conflict with a
provision In the Alabama constitu-
ton prohibiting any person from
paying another's poll tax or advanc-
ing money for payment Of the tax
to influence his vote.

Carrying of Intoxieants Aboard Vessels Is Dis-
 outraged for Safety

Carrying of intoxicating bever- ages aboard passenger vessels by either passengers or crew is being discouraged as an added measure of security for shipping during war time by both masters of vessels and military authorities, it has been learned
 In several instances, masters of vessels have requested that no intoxicants be allowed aboard their ships and in these cases both the United States Coast Guard and U. s. Army have cooperated by ex- amining passengers and their bag gage.
 While no official ruling forbid ding passengers to carry intoxicants with them when boarding vessels has yet been issued, such reg ulation is expected to be placed in effect within short time, accord ing to Lieut.. Warren M. Caro, Port Captain of Juneau.

CTS for showing in future flower shows, said that he had been sur prised and pleased at the exten- sive plantings of flowers in the area, and expressed the belief that the exhibition marked the city's appreciation for the finer things in life, and should by all means be repeated annually
 Mentioning the conclusion of all the judges that some classes of flowers exhibited did not come up to show standards, MT. Dudley said that, in order to produce bloom of first class showing quality, it was necessary to prepare soil more care fully, trim back the lateral growth on plants such as sweet peas, and dis-bud all but those blooms which would be coming on at about the date of the show.
