Earlier Story on Page A-4D
BY the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY, May 28.-Pres-
ident Manuel Avila Camacho
called on an emergency session
Of Congress today to declare
Mexico at war with the Axis
the first declaration Of war in
her history-and place the ma
ton Immediately on a fighting
footing.
In a Chamber of Deputies alter
nately gravely silent, then ringing
with the tumultuous cheers of
Viva Mexico" the President
pledged all the resources of the ma
ton to "collaborate energetically in
saving America"
His appeal to the Congress and
by radio to the nation declared
that Mexican neutrality had been
violated wantonly by the torpedoing
two weeks ago of the Mexican ships
Potrero del Llano and Faja de Orc.
An ovation of several minutes in
terrupted Avila Camacho when he
said the "disloyal, sneaking and
cowardly attacks" had decided his
government to accept valiantly the
realities" of the world situation and
ask for declaration of war against
Germany, Italy and Japan.
The attitude Of the Congress was
revealed quickly by Emilio Cutter
rez Roldan, president of the Cham
Der Of Deputies and presiding offi-
Ger OF the joint session Of the two
houses.
I'VE shall give all the support
necessary to our Experiment re-
gardless Of sacrifices and privations
to make safe the honor of our
fatherland," he declarads In re-
sponse to the President.
Avila Camacho made clear that
Mexican troops would not be sent
into action on fighting fronts on
other continents, but he did not
eliminate the possibility they might
fight on the soil of other American
republics in defense of the Western
Hemisphere.
The governments steps were ex-
pected to include internment of
Axis nationals, seizure of Axis prop
erty, government control of all COM
munications and transportation, and
government control of prices.

WITH THE ATLANTIC FLEET,
May 28.-Our naval task force has
put into an Eastern port after one
of the most successful conveying
jobs in history-a nose -thumbing
thrust through U-boat-infested wa
ters with ships carrying thousands
Of mechanical men and supplies to
Britain.
We sailed serenely through Sub
marine alley" last night and this
dawn, despite a brilliant moon to
help the enemy on this last lap of
our trip.
The captain put the bow OF our
hard-hitting flagship right on the
channel buoy he had aimed at 5000
miles away. We we're just six min
utes off the time he said he would
hit the buoy.
Made IL Attacks.
The official record will list US as
arriving safely. 1t will not tell of
the skill and cunning exerted to
bring us home without single con-
tact with enemy submarines sulking
along our scoast.
1t will not tell of tortuous zig
tagging in six days Of fog, of sleep
less, red-eyed officers who plotted
and schemed how to outwit Axis
submarines.

IS Makers of Medicines
For Animals Indicted

CHICAGO, May % (P.-Ffteen
companies and 81 individuals were
indicted by a Federal grand jury
today on charges of violating the
antitrust laws in the sale of medi-
cines and supplies used in treating
livestock and other domestic ami
mails.
The indictment alleged that the
manufacturers of the medicines sold
them only to licensed, graduate vet
ernarians and refrained from SELL
ing them to farmers, livestock and
poultry raisers and owners of other
animals.
1t charged that Associated Serum
Producers. Inc, a trade association
of hog cholera virus and serum
makers to which all the corporate
defendants belonged, required its
members to restrict their sales.
The Government contended that
the alleged conspiracy prevented
farmers, stock men, poultry raisers
and others from buying and ad-
ministering vaccines with which
animals are immunized against hog
cholera, black leg and fowl pox
and suppressed competition.

Senate Again Sends
DC Defense HOUSING
Bill 10 Conference
MeNory Charges City
Now Suffers From
OverempIoyment

The Senate today sent the $50,-
100000 District defense housing bill
to conference with the House. Min
ority Leader McNary warned that
before this measure or the new
$500, ,000, 900 authorization asked yes
terday by the President are passed
that those in charge Of the meas
ure must be prepared to answer
questions regarding "overemploy-
ment and excess activity in this
city"
Senator McNary, before. consent
ing to send the bill to conference,
asked for an explanation Of its
necessity. Senator McKellar, Demo-
crat, of Tennessee, told him that the
difference of opinion with the House
was in regard to the building Of
family units.
I'm my opinion too many have
been asked to come to Washington
more than we need and more than
are working full time" Senator Nc
Kellar said.
Senator McNary said that some
move had been made towards decen-
tralization but that after q few
shifts the effort seemed to be aban-
doned. He also criticized the con-
gestion of Government buildings
"along the river instead of being
scattered"
THE committee approving these
large appropriations for housing
should inquire into over employment
and excess activity in this city," he
continued. 50
He asked about the Presidents
request for $500, 900 900 more for de-
fense housing. Senator McKellar
replied that he did not know the
details but by sending the District
defense housing bill back to confer
ence he believed that Congress would
be able to get the facts.

Mine Appliance Firm ]
Denies Excessive War
Contract Profits
Company OffieioI Says
Privote Work Returns
Were About the Some

Earlier Story on Page A-17)
BY the Associated Press.
Charges that the Mine Safety
Appliance Co. OF Pittsburgh re-
allied greater profits on Govern
ment business than on private
contracts were denied by COM
pany officials today after the
House Naval Investigating Com
mittee was told the firm had
profits in 1910 and l941 ranging
from 38 to l22 per cent on "a
vast increase in business with
the Navy.
Edmund Toland, counsel for the
committee, told the representatives
the company made large royalty
payments" on certain appliances
and that the royalty agreements
frequently contain a discriminatory
charge wherein higher royalty pay
ments are made when the sales are
made to the Government of the
United States"
John F. Beggy, vice president and
secretary of the company, denied
greater profits were realized from
Government business, contending
under persistent questioning by Mr..
Toland that the percentage on pri-
vate and Government business was
about the same.
He said approximately so per cent
Of the company's Sl6,242,000 busi-
ness in 1941 came from the Govern
ment. This compared with $8,327,-
900 in 1910, Mr.. Toland said.
The committee proceeded to hear
the witness after Mr.. Toland read
letter from the Secretary of the
Navy saying disclosure of profits on
war business was permissive.
Mr.. Toland read photostatic copies
Of letters on the company's sta
tionery which he said showed an
understanding between the Mine
Safety Co. and the Wolf Safety
Lamp Co., New York, on prices for
lamps.
In his opening remarks, Mr.
Toland fatty asserted that the two
largest contracts show tremendous
gross profits. In addition, two in
stances of collusive bids on Navy
contracts involving Mine Safety Ap-
pliances Co. will be demonstrated"

days submarine attack off Marti-
nioue were covered with oil and
tired, but the discovery that an
enemy submarine was again stalk
Ing their ship gave them fighting
spirit that was fine to see.
At Battle Stations 48 Hours.
From my perch aboard an armed
British launch running alongside
the Blakeley, I could see her men
straighten up a bit as the first
bomber swooped down and went
into battle. Ever since the crippled
ship cleared Fort de France at noon,
exactly 48 hours after she crept
around Cape Solomon on Monday,
they had been at battle stations.
She could make only 10 knots.
Of her starboard side, framed
by a sun just about to drop into
the Caribbean, the fight continued.
We could not see the sub, but she
was there. The way the bombs were
dropping and the way the planes
were darting in one after another
told us what was under the water.
1t. Comdr. Mitchell Matthews,
haggard from his fearful ordeal
which began Monday, conned his
ship for the narrow entrance, pray
ing that she could make it before
another sub could catch her from
a hiding place near shore or the
sub under attack could launch a
torpedo.
Once docked, the Blakeley showed
more wildly than ever how honest
workmanship back in 1919 had en-
abled her to survive Mondays sneak
attack and somehow get across to
st. Lucia from Martinique, COM
pletely under her own power. Some
of her hanging edges were burned
away by torch after she left Fort
de France, yet her compartment
bulkheads took the strain and kept
her on even keel.
The explosion which tore into her
bow had not penetrated amidships
into the engine room and so the cas-
ualties were comparatively light
under the circumstances. Six men
are listed as dead or missing, two
"C1C 1AlJ0A GU oClAOuOly CAAOo6Ai " NC
left behind in the hospital at Fort
de France and Is were listed as
having only minor injuries.
The Blakeley's arrival here at
tracted a large crowd on the har-
bor side for the counterattack had
been witnessed by many, from hill
tops overlooking Castries. Most of
the crew were given quarters ashore
and clothiAy to replace their losses
on Monday. The crew was forbid
den to discuss the torpedoing or
their 48 hours in Martinique.
The officers said the French OH
cials in Fort de France had shown
every courtesy and hospitality al
lowable under international law as
the Blakeley lay in a berth along
side the French aircraft carrier
Bearn.
