Minister'S Som
Says Allies
Cant Win

LONDON, Nov. 2O-(R)-The
Berlin radio broadcast a pro-
Axis address last night by a
speaker billed as John Amery,
son of Britain's secretary Of
state for India. but the secretary
commented afterward that "the
voice did not sound like my
sons, nor did the material"
The voice declared the war to
be "a crime against civilization"
said the Allies could not win,
denounced Jews and Commu-
nists and appealed to the British
people to halt the hostilities
against Germany.
Young Amery, nursing a lung
ailment in the sunshine of
southern France for two years,
presumably was still there when
the Germans overran the Vichy
zone last week.
Advance advertising by the
Germans led his father, L. S.
Amery, to listen to the broad
cast. Nazi propagandists had
said that the invalid would ap-
pear on a program with p. G.
Wodehouse, the British humorist
who was captured in 1910, and
Lord Haw-Haw, the Berlin
broadcaster long ago identified
as Brooklyn-born Will a m
Joyce, but neither of the others
was heard.
The major theme Of the
speaker was embraced in two
sentences:
There can no longer be q
British victory.
only fools think there might
be an American victory"

BY HAROLD v. BOYLE

WITH A UNITED STATES
TASK FORCE, CASABLANCA,
FRENCH MOROCCO, Nov. Is
Delayed (P) The tragic
story of the "lost squadron" -
four American assault boats
which ran into French destroyer
fire here while they were search
IL for the Fedhala landing
beaches-was told today by Sec
ond Lieutenant Edward w.
Wellman of New York City.
He and II other survivors
were captured by the French
after the destroyer riddled the
first two assault boats when she
was hailed in the belief she was
a United States warship.
They were among the few
Americans taken prisoner dur
ing three days of fighting.
There were 10 casualties in
the engagement. Seventeen men
in the first boat to be sunk swan
three and on-half miles to
safety, some without lifebelts.
Wellman, formerly employed
in the advertising department
of the New York Daily News
and whose New York address is
the Hotel Ambassador, himself
received minor injuries.
The men pulled away from
transports in four assault boats
about $3.50 am Nov. 8, the first
day of the attack.
HEAD TOWARD FLEET
1--WE were supposed to land on
the beaches of Fedhala," Well
man said, "but through error
the assault boats headed toward
Casablanca, 13 miles away,
where the French fleet was
quartered.
1T was not until we were in
Casablanca harbor that we real
lied that the fire toward which
we were headed was not from
oil tanks on Camp Fedhala but
French ship hit by our naval
fire.
1.-Two of our boats drew back.
'"The other two had drawn
near the vessel which, in the
darkness, they thought was a
United States destroyer.
Il was in one. When the men
in the other hailed the vessel, a
foreign voice answered. They
shouted back We are Ameri-
cans!"
"A burst of machine-gun fire
came from the destroyer, then
only Is yards away, and the first

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20 R
Declaring the Federal payroll
had almost doubled in the past
year, Chairman Byrd (W-Va) Of
a Joint economy committee to-
day pledged an effort to prune
the expenses of all government
agencies, from the White House
down.
In what appeared to be a we'll
defined move to cut deeply into
the forthcoming new budget,
Byrd told reporters the commit
tee would concentrate largely on
reducing the administrative
costs of war agencies.
THAT seems to be the chief
place where savings can be
made" he said. 1--WE may be
able to obtain abolition of the
WPA, which was given about
$500, 00O,0 900 this year, but not
many other cuts can be made in
the non-War agencies"
Byrd sale, the committee
learned that on Sept. / the ex-
ecutive staff payroll under Pres
ident Roosevelt entailed q
monthly outlay of $2,999, AGO for
employment of 726 persons in
the District of Columbia and $50
persons outside. This did not
include, he said, any of the
emergency agencies set up un-
der executive authority, such as
the Office for Emergency Man
agement.
BY contrast, Byrd said the
White House payroll under
President Woodrow Wilson in
July, 1917, during the last war,
contained the names of 48 per-
sons and involved a monthly
outlay of $4,000.
The monthly payroll for gov
eminent employees this Septem-
Der totaled S410, 1862, 900, he said,
exclusive of payments to the co.
600 members of County Agricul-
tural Committees, who draw a
total of $4,000, 900 yearly.
This represented what Byrd
termed staggering" increase
over the governments $780,
$4,000 payroll for September
1941.
The committee estimated the
number of government en-
ployes, Federal, State, munic-
ipal, and county, at about $685.
600, and Byrd said many of
tkerl should be transferred into

to wrap our dripping soldiers.
"A French officer grabbed me
and asked how many boats
there were in the attack group.
! told him / could tell nothing
but my name. rank and number.
The officer ran excitedly to the
bridge. They apparently thought
the whole invasion was being
centered at Casablanca, instead
of Fedhala, and steamed back
to port.
NOT A WHIMPER
There were no doctors on
the destroyer but our six
wounded didn't let out q whim-
per. We were taken to a
French military hospital jam
med with their own wounded"
He said that the commanders
of the two boats which escaped,
Lieut.. Arthur Erwin of Colum-
bia. S. c., and Lieut.. Thomas w.
Kelly. Jr., of the 10th Engineers,
drove their boats back to q
transport refuelled and landed
at Fedhala Beach as originally
planned.
Among those from the two
sunken boats who were cap
tured and then released after
the armistice, were Private Ell
mer Spencer of Greencastle,
Ind, Private Donald Holman of
Millerstown, Penn; Private
GRANGE Lovett Of La Toilette,
Tenn, and Private Gene Wag-
ner of Abbottstown, Penn.
