The ship Shuddered. Sammy
SamuelS woke up. In one quick.
continuous motion, he slipped into
his pants and shoes while Chamber
ing from his bunk 10 the shifting
floor of the boats forecastle and
rushed TO the deck.
lie knew what the Shuddering of
the ship meant. II meant a Nazi
torpedo had struck.
1t meant the hasty use of ex-
perience gained in FIVE months
daily torpedo drill. 1t meant the
end of tension built up during five
months at sea when a torpedo
could have come at any moment.
But let Sammy, fve-foot three
inch veteran of the seas and vet
eran member of the National
Maritime Union, Clio, tell what
happened when Nazi torpedo
struck at 2 o'clock in the morning
as his ship plowed through the
Atlantic Ocean toward the Amer
Jean coast.
MAN THE GUNS
"The first thing we had been
taught TO do" Samuels explained.
was 10 get TO our guns and try
10 fire al the sub. The next was 10
Try to get off the ship and the third
thing was 10 pick up anybody in
the water.
We'll when I got on deck, the
gun crew Immediately manned the
guns but was ordered 10 abandon
ship by the captain. So we made
for the lifeboats. The sea was
already over the boat deck and
found only one lifeboat which could
be put TO use The others were
swamped by water.
Il slid down the lifeline and be-
fore i reached the boat noticed
ten men in the boat. But when /
reached the boat only one man was
left. the others had been thrown
cut into the water.
Immediately ! tried TO loosen
the boat away from our ship and
right then the mast came apart,
landing only a few inches away
from the lifeboat. We grabbed the
mast and used il TO push ourselves
away from the ship. This is the
reason, | believe, that the lifeboat
stayed afloat.

By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
EDGEWATER PARK, Miss, Feb
1.-THE chief Of A. A. A. opera
tions in the South promised today
that Dixie's farmers would do their
full share toward victory regardless
OF gigantic difnculties caused by the
war.
I. w. Duggan, director Of the
Southern division OF the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration. pre-
dicted possible drastic dislocation OF
King Cotton's empire during the

takes, we will do the job"
He addressed the A. A. A. s South
ern regional conference here.
He urged, however, that cotton
growers prepare to 60 after q full
share Of the world market after the

cotton agreement as "the wisest
course" to avoid cut-throat
scramble.
Mr.. Duggan forecast CONSIDER
able shifting Of cotton production
by areas during the war emergen-
cy.' Some areas which suffered

War Labor Board
Warns Employer in
First Test Of Power
Fishing Boot Operators
Directed to Terminate
Lookout of 800 Men

The National War Labor Board,
in its first ruling, today answered q
challenge to its powers by declaring
that the conduct Of any employer
or labor group in America that
places its selfish welfare above the
interest of the country" would not
be condoned.
The BOARD pronouncement was
iss.,ed In directing the Federation
Fishing Boats Of New England
and New York, Inc, to terminate
what was characterized as "lock-
out" that has thrown into idleness
800 deep-sea fishermen who furnish
about 40 per cent of the total an
nual catch of New England.
The fishermen, A. F. L. members,
struck on January 6, six days before
the new board came into operation.
on the question OF whether the boat
operators would furnish them war
risk insurance. The dispute was
certified to the board on January %,
and four days later the members
employer, labor and public-unani-
lnously voted to request the fishing
boat operators to advance the pre-
MUM for the insurance, to ask both
parties to leave to the board finsl
determination OF the dispute and
Immediately to resume operations.
The union agreed to the terms.
but the operators refused unless
the union would sign a contract for
the next year embodying the terms
of their present agreement, which
expires March Is. The board i'm
mediately responded that this went
entirely beyond the premises of the
present dispute and refused to
agree to the companys proposal.
In today's unanimous decision. the
board said that the boat owners
should Immediately purchase insur-
ance policies for each fisherman and
again ordered immediate resump-
tion Of operations. 1t was explained
that a hearing later would deter
mine what proportion of the pre-
miums should be paid by the dis
putting factions.
The ruling. written by Dean
Wayne L. Morse, said:
The serious implications OF this
unpatriotic act cannot be
minimized and dare not be ignored
either by the National War Labor
Board, the Government of the
United States or tho American
people"

military authorities in Rumania.
A threat that the remaining
Jews will be deported is contained
in an official statement issued by
the Rumanian Government, copies
of which were received here this
week. In it the Jews are charged
with violating practically all of
the wartime regulations and are
warned that they and their fami-
lies will be deported Eastward if
they are found to be evading ser
vice in the labor camps, leaving
their authorized residences, hoard
ing food, medicine and ''continu-
ing subversive propaganda"
At the same time, the German
broadcaster confirmed the report
that the Zionist Federation of Ru-
mania had been liquidated by the
Commissioner for Jewish Affairs.

Russian Jews
). Rank n! High In
Awards

KUIBYSHEV (JTA)-Although
Jews rank seventh in population
among the various nationalities in
the Soviet Union, they are fourth
in number among the heroes who
have received awards in recent
months for exploits at the front or
for unusual feats in production, it
was learned here this week.
At the same time it was an
nounced that a history of the war
rior traditions of the Jewish peo-
pie from ancient times until the
present will shortly be published
here. Famous Jewish historians,
who are members of the Jewish
Culture department of the Uk-
rainian Academy of Sciences, are
working collectively on an extern
sive work which will examine the
Jewish attitude towards warfare
over a period of several thousand
years.
Other information reaching here
this week from various far-flung
points in Russia indicate that
Jewish cultural activities are con-
tinuing despite the grave military
crisis.

Two Thirds OF Rumanian Jews

ZURICH (JTA)-Only one-third
of the 100000 Jews in Rumania
(Which figure included those liv-
ing in Bessarabia and Bukovlna
and excluded those in the portions
of Pennsylvania coded to Hun
garv) remain in the country, it
was stated this week by broad
caster on the official German ra-
dio.
The Nazi announcer SAID tnat
100000 Jews are now living in
Rumania. Previous reports from
Bucharest stated that over 2OO,OOO
Jews had been deported to Trans

of the Soviet Ukraine. This

fer of a million Rumanian Jews

British Press Asks
Government To
Do More For
Palestine Jews

London (JPS-Palcor)- The an
nouncement of tie formation of a
Jewish battalion in Palestine,
alongside an Arab battalion, was
regarded in editorial comments by
two English dailies as "step in
the right direction" but led to the
suggestion that the Government
do more to show Palestine Jews
that ut has it's heart in it."
The Manchester Guardian, after
saying that the Jews of Palestine
are 1.-The only one population in
the Middle East heart and soul on
our side against Hitler, while the
rest are waiting to see how the cat
will jump" declares that the Brit
ish War Minister'S announcement
of Jewish battalion represents
"some" improvement.
Hitherto, under one preteXt or
another, the Government has re-
fused the Jewish demand for a
fighting force and it is still refus-
ing, but edging cautiously in the
right direction, the Guardian
stated.
Jewish battalions will have
sense in their distinctive unity"
the paper declared, adding it
would like to know what disting-
uishing signs and enblems are to
be allowed. It is impossible to
believe, if the Government has it's
heart in this and also uses it's
head, that it cannot quickly turn
$4,000 eager men and women into
a Home, Guard. The Jews of Pal
estine ask only for the opportun-
ity and the arms"
Commenting on the Govern
ment's statement in the House of
Commons, the Telegraph said ut
is surprising that so obvious and
useful step was delayed till the
end of the third year of the war"
It pointed out that Cyprus had it's
own regiment since 1910. More
over, even now, it adds, the pro-
posal is on comparatively modest
lines. The editorial adds that the
absence of local facilities has not
prevented Palestinian Jews from
playing their part.

RunOr Clinic Says
Anti-Semitic
Tales Are No. 2

Boston (JPS)-Going about its
business of collecting and analyz-
ing rumors circulating throughout
New England since Pearl Harbor,
the "rumor clinic" of the Massa-
chusetts Council on Public Safety
has discovered that anti-Semitic
stories are second only to anti
British tales.
The clinic, officially called the
Division of Propaganda Research,
has found that numerically the
Jew-hating stories multiply at a
time when the United Nations are
doing badly in the war. Stories
about Russia take third place.

According to Haaretz, middle
class daily, the creation of a bat
talon forms an additional step
toward the expansion of our a.
bility in defense. 1t is essential
that the battalions receive the ut
most in modern training to enable
them to fulfill their fighting

Nazis Grab Dutch
Jews In Dead
OF Night

London (JPS)-How the Nazis,
with deliberate cruelty, yank Jew
ish women from their beds in Hol-
land and ship them to Poland's
ghettos; how they go to the trou-
BILE of expelling Jews in the dead
of night so as to avoid pro-JeWish
demonstrations are items stressed
by Dutch circles in London, which
are close to the actual facts in the
Netherlands.
Free Dutch quarters in this city
tell of the mass demonstrations
by Dutchmen against German de-
portations of Jews, who are herd
ed like cattle into freight cars
and shipped to Poland.
That Frenchmen, too, are dem
onstrating against German hand
ling of Jews is revealed by Serb,
Nazi paper in France. The sheet
relates that Frenchmen show en-
tirely too much sympathy for the
Jews. From French circles in
London, where eye witness tales
are told to authorities, come
stories that French women give up
their places to the Jewesses in
bread lines. Other stories of
French understanding of the Jew
ish problem are told by officials
at Fighting French headquarters.

Bulgarians Gust
Jews From
Premises

GENEVA (JTA--Jews in Sofia,
capital of Bulgaria, who have been
ousted from certain professions
and trades by the Bulgarian Gov
eminent were this week ordered
to vacate any premises connected
with such businesses. Tn e
houses and residences taken from
the Jew will be given to the fam
lilies of Bulgarian officials, the
Sofia radio announced.
Last month the Bulgarian Gov
eminent, acting under powers
granted it by the Bulgarian par
iianoent "to solve the Jewish
problem" issued a series OF oe-
crees virtually excluding Jews
from the country's economy.

Davar, labor daily, said editor
tally that "the conversion of the
Bluffs companies into a battalion
and the expansion of the Jewish
Settlements Police represent an
important step toward fuller par
ticipation by Palestine Jews in the
war and in defense of the country.
But this decision does not satisfy
all the demands of Jewish leader
ship. Also, the question of train
ing the masses to Withstand pos
sible dangers remains cogent.
IF the Government implements
it's decision most quickly and if
the Yishuv exploits the new OPP

and in the shortest time, we may
rest assured that the British Gov
