Vinson Advises Navy
To Call Winchel
For Active Duty
Hoffman Tells House
CoIumnist Broadcast
While in Uniform
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Chairman Vinson Of the Naval AZ
fairs Committee told the House to-
day he had advised the Navy De-
partment either to call 1t. Comdr.
Walter Winchell "to active duty or
disenroll him."
Mr.. Vinson made the statement
in answer to a question by Repre-
sentative Hoffman, Republican, Of
Michigan after having denied that
1t. Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr., had
been given favored treatment by the
Navy.
Mr.. Hoffman said that Winchell,
a New York newspaper columnist,
drew a salary for a weekly radio
broadcast which he understood
Winchell, a Reserve officer, made
in his Navy uniform.
Representative Pheiffer, Repub-
lican, of New York last week charged
that President Roosevelt's son was
given more time to recuperate from
an appendectomy than usually is
required. ..
After recounting 1t. Roosevelt's
service record and his preparation
for a commission in the Navy, Mr..
Vinson said PheifIer's charge was
"unwarranted and unjustifled" and
Inconsistent with the true facts. "
There has been mo favoritism
whatsoever" he concluded.
Winchen Replies.
winchell, in New York, advised of
the comments by Vinson and Hoff-
man, gave this reply:
Active duty? The record shows
that I requested it on December T.
1941, and was granted volunteer
active duty without pay on De-
cember "a. As to the careless state
ment by Republican Representative
Glare Hoffman Of Michigan that he
understood Winchell broadcasts in
a Navy uniform this gives an idea
Of how misinformed, some Congress
men can be, but let's not change

From Lifeboats
All Are Soved;
Vessel Was Loaded
With Iron Ore

by the hSSOCldIcO FTcSS.
NORFOLK, Va, March o.
Three Axis submarines combined
their striking power to sink the
American freighter Marore of
the Middle Atlantic Coast Thurs
day night, crippling her with one
torpedo and riddling her from
stem to stern with more than
100 shells, members of the ships
39-man crew related on their
safe arrival at Norfolk "a hours
later.
The 5th Naval District permitted
interviews with the crew Saturday
but withheld public announcement
Of the sinking until today.
The 8,214-ton freighter, owned by
the Ore Steamship Co. of New York,
was northbound with iron ore when
attacked. Navy planes directed an
other ship to the rescue Of rs crew
members after they had been afloat
teen crewmen in the third lifeboat
rigged a sail and landed at Cape
Hatteras.
Subs Form Triangle.
Abandoning ship less than 10 min
utes after the torpedo struck amid
ship on the starboard side, the crew
rowed several hundred yards away
and watched the Marore's death
struggle as the three submarines
from the flashes of their gunfire
grouped In a rough triangle and
each about one mile distant, staged
what one crewman described as a
beautiful display Of fireworks"
THE shells going over our heads
sounded like freight trains" said
Radio Operator Christopher w. Core
of Richmond, Va. Tracer shells
the subs were using looked like
Roman candles. 1t was q beautiful
display of fireworks, but we couldn't
enjoy it,"
Capt. Charles E. Nash of Dun
dalk, Nd, said the submersibles
fired more than 100 shells at the
Marore and that practically 100
per cent of them struck. None of
the crew actually saw the thSee
submarines, but several related that
the flash of gunfire and the bright
trail Of tracer shells were visible
from three directions simultane-
ously.
Like Target Practice"
Howard S. Book of Baltimore, first
assistant engineer. said the enemy
craft were still shelling the Mag
rore when she went under more
than an hour after the crew took
to the boats. 1T looked like target
practice" he added. Book said some
of the tracer shells bounced crafty
across the oceans surface
Crew members praised Third As
sistant Engineer E. B. Stahl for his
quick work in stopping the engines
after the ship was torpedoed Core
said the lifeboats would have been
swamped If launched while the
freighter was moving. Thy engine
room was thrown into darkness, but
Stahl used his fashlight and stopped
the engines.
Capt. Nash said that the Marore
had been running without lights but
had turned on the running and mast
lights shortly before the attack as
a precaution against possible col
hsion with two other ships sighted
nearby.
Built at Sparrows Point, Md, in
1922, the vessel was $50 feet long
and u feet in the beam.

"It's too late to see the President
now" Senator Thomas told re-

He said, however, that he believed
restrictions inserted by the House

would go far toward accomplishing
the purpose of the proposed amend
ment. In addition, he pointed out,
the Senate has passed and sent to
the House legislation to prevent the
Commodity Credit Corp. from dis
posing of surpluses at less than
parity.
Members of the farm group had
named a seven member committee,

$7o,ooo,ooo Housing
Funds for District
Voted by Senate
$4,000, 900 Allotted
For Public Works in
House-Approved Bill
By JAMES Z. CHINN.

without debate the Senate this
afternoon passed the House.
approved Lanham bill authoriz-
ing an appropriation Of SIC, ,000,-
900 to provide housing and re-
lated public works for Govern
ment war workers in the inflated
wartime Metropolitan Area of
the District.
The legislation must now be re-
turned to the House for approval Of
Senate changes, the most important
Of which raised the authorized ap-
preparation from $50 o,o0o, 900 to $7O,-
00o, 900.
AS passed by the Senate, the bill
specifically allocates $45,00o,0 for
housing and $25, ,O00, 900 for such nee
essary community facilities as addi-
tional schools and hospital facilities,
extensions to water and sewer serv-
ices and increased police and fire
protection. Five million dollars of
the housing fund Is reserved for
carrying out the so-called goodwill
program for rehabilitating about
nine blocks In Southwest Washing
ton.
The newly created National
Housing Agency Is given authority
under the Senate version of the bill
to administer the $45 1000, 900 hous-
ing fund. The $25 900 900 for pub
lie works would be turned over to
the Federal Works Agency with this
stipulation: Such public works
may include. but shall not be limit
ed to schools, waterworks, sewers,
public sanitary facilities, works for
the treatment and publication of
water, hospitals and other places
for the care of the sick, recreational
facilities, streets, roads, facilities
for the disposal of sewage, garbage
and refuse, and other types Of nee
essary public works"
The House approved bill failed to
earmark any of the $50, 0,000, 900 ap-
preparation 1t authorized. The
money would have gone entirely
to the Federal Works Agency in
the form of a blank check.
Exclusive of the 5,000, 900 South
west rehabilitation program, it is
estimated the remaining $40, 900 900
in the housing fund will provide
10000 housing units. The bill fixes
the average cost per family dwelling
unit at $4,000 exclusive of the cost
of land, public utilities and COM
munity facilities.
F. w. A. "Advancements."
Authority is given the District
Commissioners in the bill as re-
vised to accept "advancements" from
the F. w. A. for public works. Re-
payment of any sums so advanced
and the interest payment thereon,
the bill provides, shall be in the
same manner and subject to the
same conditions governing other
Federal loans to the District.
The Education and Labor Com
mittee in its report to the Senate
urging approval of the bill In its
revised form declared:
'"The need for an adequate de-
fense housing program for the Dis
trict Of Columbia has been definitely
demonstrated, not only at the ex-
haustive hearings held by the
