involving steps to reduce wool con-
tent wherever practicable without
injuring military requirements. also

might be made should the situation

At another point in the hearings,
Maj. Gen E. B. Gregory, quarter

Representative Starnes, Democrat.
of Alabama about possible necessity
for rationing civilian use Of wool
for clothing replied:
Il do not know whether 1t will
come tu a rationing stage or not.
It probably will come to a stage
where the civilian population will
have to accept substitutes, such as
wool combined with rayon. or wool
combined with cotton, or wool COM

Price Fixing Has Not
Gone Far Enough,
Mrs. Roosevelt Says
Cites High Cost Of Living
Here in Comment on
Need for Controls

Commenting on the high cost of
living in Washington, Mrs. Roose-
welt said at her press conference
today that she thought stabilization
Of prices had not gone far enough
Price fixing so far really doesn't
cover all of the essentials" Mrs.
Roosevelt said You will have to
set a maximum for things that
people eat every day and need to
eat every day"
Sterilization of farm prices was In
cluded in Mrs. Roosevelt's list of
costs as yet uncontrolled by gov
ernmental economic agencies. She
thinks that stabilization of wages is
a good idea, too. but that it should
be done at the same time as price
fixing.
You cannot stabilize wages until
you stabilize the cost of living
Mrs. Roosevelt said, but they
really should be done at the same
time"
Returning specifically to prices in
Washington, Mrs. Roosevelt said
Washington is one of the poorest
markets I know
Cites New York Purchases.
She added that she really could
not understand why prices here are
so much higher than elsewhere. She
cited her recent purchase in New
York of an expensive household
article" which cost $40 less than it
would here. Difficulties forced on
farmers by gasoline rationing. she
added, are too recent to explain
fully the years of excessive costs
here.
Continuing on the gasoline situa-
ton. Mrs. Roosevelt expressed the
hope that workers would plan to
take vacations somehow.
Il can see nothing but value in
taking the normal amount of rest
and relaxation" Mrs. Roosevelt said
mo vacation might slow up rather
than increase production, because
people reach a point when they are
too weary to do their best"
Dormitory Sites Chosen.
Although tourist States may suf-
fer, Mrs. Roosevelt indicated, Amer
leans may be able to devise differ
ent ways OF getting relaxation. She
suggested vacationers look for
trains not as crowded as those on
the central routes. or perhaps for
an airplane route not used primarily
by servicemen.
Although a Mexican correspond =
ent present at the conference
pressed Mrs. Roosevelt on her often
suggested trip to Mexico. Mrs
Roosevelt evaded definite COM
mitment with. the contention that
if she went to Mexico she would
have to visit all the other southern
countries, too. Although this travel
would be pleasant, she indicated
it would not be feasible in wartime

Attacks by U.Boats
On Neutral Vessels
Assai|ed by Hull
Terrorism Policy Scored
In Comment in Sinking
OF Argentine freiehter

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of State Hull declared
today the sinking Of the Argentine
freighter Rio Tercero 100 miles out
of New York was one more instance
illustrating the policy of frightful-
ness and terrorism the German high
command is undertaking to carry on
in the Atlantic.
Mr.. Hull said at press conference
that, according to reports, the 4,800-
ton Argentine vessel had been at
tackled and sunk in broad daylight,
thus eliminating an opportunity for
the Nazis to hide behind the pretext
that the vessel could not be identi-
fed. The sinking was announced in
Buenos Aires.
Mr.. Hull's statement that the Rio
Tercero had been attacked and sunk
was the first official reference as to
the manner of the ships sinking. An
Argentine government announce
ment said it was not known whether
the vessel was torpodoed or had
struck mine.
Mr.. Hull had reference to the fact
that Germany, in recently replying
to an Argentine government protest
over the torpedoing of the Argentine
tanker Victoria off Cape Hatteras. N.
c., expressed regret, but contended
the ship was improperly marked and
her identity had been mistaken. The
Victoria was able to make port.
Mr.. Hull. with trace of anger in
his voice, said the Rio Tercero sink
ing proved that no matter how the
policy is stated in Berlin, in prac
tice and effect it means that neutral
ships will be sunk by German sub
marines just as promptly and Grim
inally as any other vessels.
