Navy Plans Early
Test Of Redesiened
Model Of Sea Otter
Tonk TrioIs Moy Decide
Fote Of EosiIy Built
Boot Of Rodieol Type
p, TIE Associated Press.

ID tfs Associakc Press.
A new miniature OF the Sea Otter
soon will undergo tank tests which
may determine whether the small,
easily built cargo boat Of radical
design goes into mass production as
the answer to Axis submarine sink
ings or is discarded as Impractical.
Comdr Hamilton v. Bryan OF the
Navy, who nursed two previous Sea
Otters into existence from his origi-
nal idea of 'sardine can with an
outboard motor" said today that a
new model was being prepared for
early tests.
Sea Otter II, the hrst full-size
boat employing vertical propeller
shafts sealed in with automobile
tires and powered by gasoline ma
rine engines, got q cold shoulder
from the Navy and Maritime Com
mission after trials OF Charleston.
President Roosevelt, who had been
instrumental In bringing about It's
construction, said the tests had been
disappointing, but ordered further
work on redesigning.
Operating under a lease lend con-
tract. Comdr. Bryan said that
Feaver Associates, Inc. Washington
marine architects, had drawn the
plans for the new model Chief
change made under his direction,
he said. was removal OF the power
plant and propellers aft from amid
ships, where they had been placed
on the Sea Otter II.
The effect. Comdr. Bryan said,
would be to give the new model an
1l-foot draft, removing previous OBJ
jections that 1t could not be used
in shallow waters.
Testimony obtained by a Senate
Naval Affairs Subcommittee, which
concluded that the Sea Otter had
not been given sympathetic" trial,
showed that the 25o-foot- long boat
could be constructed out of strip
steel plates in an average OF about
six weeks II mass production meth
DDS were used. 1t could be built in
small shipyards not now crowded
with naval and larger cargo shipping
projects.

Every Person in U.S..
Urged 10 Put 1917 Of
Income in War Bonds
Treasury Will Launch
Campaign on May !;
Stotes to Get Quotes
b, the Associated Press.

b. the Associated Press.
A war bond quota system under
which every person in each of
the Nations 3,070 counties will
be urged to put at least 10 per
cent Of his income into the bonds
or stamps was announced yes
terday by the Treasury Depart
ment.
The campaign, to begin on May
l, is in line with Secretary Morgen-
thau's recent testimony before a
Congressional committee in which
he recommended that voluntary
system was preferable to a COM
pulsory method Of savings through
the assignment OF war bonds to
individuals.
The Treasury announcement said
the May quotas for State and coun-
ties would be released soon and
would be revised and sstepped-up
in succeeding months" BY July,
the Treasury said, 1t was expected
the campaign would bring war
bond purchases to more than twice
the monthly totals previously sold.
Bonds were sold at the rate Of
81 900 10000 a month in January,
but the rate recently dropped to
about $500 900 900 The total of
purchases is now in excess of $5,-
0O0,000000, the Treasury said,
Secretary Morgenthau said in his
announcement that 'it is our plan
through the war bond quota system
to reach every person in the United
States who receives an income Of
any sort, and to reach him as
quickly as possible" Management
and labor will be asked to CO.
operate in this, he said, adding that
40 per cent of every company pay
roll Is the minimum war bond goal |"
The department explained that
while setting an overall figure of
10 per cent 1t recognized that some
people, because of family circum-
stances, cannot afford to save 10
per cent of their income, while other
persons can afford an even higher
percentage"

ParmeIee Requests
Warfare Board 10
Reinstate Him
Custer Gives Nation ldeo
B. z. w. Is AccompIice of
Dies, Economist Says

DR.. Maurice Parmelee, the Board
Of Economics Warfare economist
who was accused by Chairman Dies
Of the House Committee on Un-
American Activities of being an
advocate OF nudisn, has been
dropped from his IS 800 job on the
board on the fiimsy pretext of
reorganization" he disclosed last
night.
At the same time DR.. Parmelee
made public a letter he had sent
to Milo Perkins. executive director
of thu board. declaring that moth
ing could be better calculated TO
give the Nation the impression that
the board has become the accom-
plice OF Dies" than his custer.
He asked for reinstatement TO
bolster the morale of the b. E. r.
staff
A spokesman for the q. E. w. said
some others" had been dropped at
the same time as Or. Parmalee or
would be dropped on April 30. The
spokesman would not say how many
nor would he identify the others.
One Of Nine Named.
DR.. Parmelee was one of nine
men specifically named by Mr.. Dies
in q letter to Vice President Wal
lace, board chairman, three weeks
ago, when he charged that IS board
aides had been identified with Com
munistic organizations. Mr.. Dies
letter called for their dismissal
The Texan further linked DR.. Par
melee with the authorship OF a
book on nudism.
Vice President Wallace immedi-
ately defended DR.. Parmelee as q
responsible expert on blockade con-
troll and assailed Mr.. Dies for max
ing the charges. He promised ar
F. B. I. inquiry, saying that if those
named by the Texan were unfit they
would be discharged, but that If they
were cleared he would expect Mr.
Dies to apologize publicly to them.
Over the week end, Representative
Elliot, Democrat, Of Massachusetts
made public correspondence with
the B. e. w. on the results OF r
B. I. investigations Of the min,
named men in the Dies report. Mr.
Eliot said that the r. B. I. investiga'
ton had cleared the employees OF th'
Dies charges.
In his statement, DR.. Parmelet
said he had been dropped without
notice April Is, and made public
a telegram to Vice President Wal
lace, asking that his case be recon
sidered and that he be given q per-
sonal interview. Two days later, hi
continued, he was informed that
