TIPPED OFF
IN SIN KING
Sub Sinks U. S. Cargo Ship
in 90 Seconds in
Mexico Gulf

NEW ORLEANS, May ga sea
captain expressed belief here today
that the two torpedoes which sank
his medium sized cargo ship in 80
seconds were fired by sub crew
which had been tipped off in adj
vance of the vessels movements.
At least 81 members of the crew
and gun crew were carried to their
deaths in the amazingly swift sink
ing which occurred in the Gulf Of
Mexico on May 16
Captain Henry Rowe attached
significance to the fact that the
submarine not only attacked his
boat without warning, but didn't
come to the surface after the sink
ing TO ascertain facts about its vic
tim, indicating that the subs Of
ficers possibly already knew of the
ships identity and sailing plans.

Merry Go Round
BY DREW PEARSON

WASHINGTON reason
for Price Administrator Leon Hen
derson's secret testimony before the
House Appropriations Committee
was to report on future rationlng
prospects and the administrative
machinery needed to handle the
vast rationing program.
However, the meeting almost
broke up in a row before Hender-
son was able to complete his re-
port. Two members went round
and-round with him over gas ra-
tioning and price controls on crude
oil.
Henderson gave the committee a
secret list of Is new commodities
which may have to be rationed but
he cautioned that the list, which
included coffee, tea, clothing and
certain dairy products, was only
tentative and may be changed.
Il cannot predict with any GER
tainty just what additional COM
modities will have to be rationed,
and how soon,' Henderson said IN
effect. ut depends on a number
of factors-the trend of the war,
shipping losses, this years crops
and other things. We might have
to begin rationing certain food
products and clothing, needed by
our allies. within a month. Also
it is possible that within a year
virtually every major consumer
commodity may have to be ra-
toned"
But it was when Henderson re-
vealed that gasoline rationing soon
may be extended to the entire coun-
try that the fireworks started.

Tinkham 10 Retire After
26 Years in House; Never
(ampaigned, Went Hunting
BY JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 22.-In re-
cent years, death, defeat or retire
ment has taken a staggering toll of
colorful figures in Congress. Gone
from Capitol Hill now are Senators
Borah, Pittman and Ashurst and
Congressman j. Ham Lewis, to men
ton only few.
But of the men who have made
colorful copy = reams OF it-none
lately will have left any greater gap
in the pattern than Boston's Back
Bay Rep. George Holden Tinkham,
who has announced his retirement
after % consecutive years in the
House.
Only two senators and six repre-
sentatives have held their seats in
Congress longer than Tinkham and
none of them has done it with so
little campaigning.
A veteran traveller since his days
at Harvard when he junketed to
such far places as the Greek islands
in the Aegean and the windswept
wastes of Iceland and Spitzbergen
Tinkham has always managed to be
off on one of his world jaunts
while other congressman were cam
paigning their heads off for re-elec-
ton and he always has been voted
back to his seat by substantial
majorities.
One year it was a 43,000-mile
swing in 220 days to the islands of
the South Pacific and the lands of
the China Sea. Another year, he
was hanging up a record for leopard
shooting in British East Africa. He
came back that time with the story
that his bag of six leopards would
have been one greater had not his
native guide restrained him from
going into the brush after wound
ed cat. Tinkham had asked the
guide why should I lose beau
tiful skin like that?" The guide
answered ITO save your own beau
tiful skin"
Tinkham's apartment in the Old
Arlington Hotel is veritable mu-
scum of skins, stuffed heads, ele-
plants tusks, art and curios COL
