WASHINGTON, April l7-(P)
Declaring that both shipping

cilities apparently are on the
point of begging down" Chair
man Truman (D-Mo) said to-
day the Senate Def0lse Investi-
eating Committee would begin
an inquiry soon into bottlenecks
in the maritime, rail and truck
industries.
Truman said the committee
had asked the Maritime Com
mission for a progress report on
ship building but he added that
inability to obtain trained crews
for merchant vessels appeared to
be one of the great obstacles.

ternoOn.
Outlining the work of the bu-
reau, Kast warned against the
spreading of rumors or the
speaking of word in the wrong
place as the agency has enough
work without the chasing down
fake cases or listening TO sense
less complaints. Where there is
absolute evidence of alien activ-
lty, sabotage or espionage, the
Spaker warned citizens against
trying to investigate. Report to
your FBI first and trust the
agency to handle the case. They
are a group of better trained
men than ever before and are
as near as your nearest tele-
phone.
KaSt also stated that selective
service cards should always be
carried as all police agencies
stopping persons for violations
Of any sort make it a point to
see if you have your card with
you.
The talk was made more in
teresting by the reviewing of
several of the most important
cases which have been traced
by the bureau.

Of the program committee of the

freshments were served by a
