Crew in lifebouts
OF Rhode Island:
Rescue Boots Out
By CLAUDE A. MAHONEY.

The submarine menace on the At
lantic Coast is becoming increas-
ingly serious and an unidentified
tanker is awash of the Block Island,
presumably U-Doat victim, Navy
spokesman said late today
Coastal commerce has been
warned to be on the lookout for the
preying submarines all up and down
the Eastern Coast. The unidentified
tanker was seen from a Navy patrol
plane and was said to be partly sub
merged with 10 or 20 feet of her
structure above water Members of
the crew were observed nearby in
life boats.
The location was described as be-
ing about go miles south of Block
Island, which would put it some
where of the Rhode Island Coast,
we'll east Of the tip of Long Island.
Rescue Craft on Way.
Patrol boats and rescue craft
raced to the floundering tanker
from the Navy submarine base at
New London. Conn. 1t was pre-
sumed that, since the lifeboats were
seen to be occupied, the crew could
be rescued safely. Although a def
mite location was not given any
more definitely than the 80 miles
south of Block Island" the Navy
spokesman advised press associa-
ton representatives to watch the
vicinity Of Providence, r. l.
Asked to say how general the
submarine menace was, the spokes-
man said that it was pretty we'll
up and down the East Coast"
The close-in activity of the SUBJ
marine was taken by some observers
to mean that the Axis had decided
on new tactics, which meant dodg-
ing United States ships in mid
Atlantic and the sneaking in to
points near the shore for surprise
attacks
Patrols Always on Duty.
While naval security would moi
permit giving details of the pro.
tective measures that we're .beinf
taken, it is known that the patrols
are being maintained continuousl,
all up and down the coast, both b,
sea and by air.

clared in a letter to William S.
Knudsen. o. p M. director general;
Undersecretary of War Rooert P.
Patterson and Undersecretary OF the
Navy James V. Forrestal.
First Official Act.
The letter marked Mr.. Nelson S
first official act since his selection
late yesterday by President Roose-
welt as the one-man head of the
Nations entire war production and
procurement machinery.
I'VE have just one job to do-to
make enough war material to lick
Hitler and the Japs. and to do it in
the shortest time" the brief said.
The present organization must
and will evolve into the most effec-
tive possible instrument to do it.
Every one connected with pro-
duction and procurement, in all
agencies of the Government, must
carry on with the utmost devotion
and energy
Earlier Senators Connally, Demo-
crat. of Texas, and Wiley, Repub-
lican. of Wisconsin urged in the Sem
ate that Mr.. Nelson be given COM
plete authority" over the Nations
machinery of production and supply.
At the White House, Stephen

ing War Production Board was in
process of pfeparation but that its

Truman to Submit Report.
A report sharply critical of the
o. P. M. and OF other factors in
the national defense program will
be sumbitted to the Senate tomor-
row by Chairman Truman Of the
Special Senate Committee 1nvestl-
eating the Defense Program.
The committee report criticizes
the o. P. M. for failure to expedite
war production and recommends
drastic revision of the organization
The report declares against placing
dollar-a-year men or those working
without compensation in response
BILE Government positions when
they have not severed their private
business ties.
This practice, the committee says,
should be abolishd.
Reluctance on the part of automo-
bile manufacturers to convert their
facilities to war production also Is
discussed in the report. 1t is empha-
sized in the report that automobile
production figures were higher in
194l than in 1910, while at the same
time automobile producers were de-
livering very small amounts OF de-
fense articles.

moval of IL Government agen-
cies from Washington pend

Commissioner Conway P. Coe
announced this afternoon as the
Senate continued sharp debate
over the proposed removal of II
Government bureaus from Wash
ington to make room for defense
activities.
The debate was marked by a
charge of Chairman McCarran of
the District Committee that pres
sure is being put on some Govern
ment agencies listed for removal to
get their moving plans completed
before the Senate considers the is
sue.
The Senate was debating reso-
luton seeking to have that body go
on record against the moving Of any
agency without the consent of Con-
gress and directing Budget Director
Harold D. Smith to submit to the
Senate all the information on which
orders were given II agencies to go

Danaher Offers Substitute.
Senator Danaher, Republican. Of
Connecticut offered a modified reso-
luton. asking that the transfers be
delayed pending a request to the
Budget Bureau for more information
on the subject.
The Danaher substitute omitted
the preamble of the original Nc
Carran resolution, which sought to
put the Senate on record as be-
lieving the removal orders had been
issued without authority of law. The
substitute, which won the support
of a number of Senators who were
opposed to the original resolution,
reads as follows
Resolved, that it is the sense of
the Senate that the director of the
budget, before taking any further
steps toward removing any agency
or Office of the Government from

report to the Senate giving full

al, the statutory authority upon

igan Normal football team will
open the back stretch drive Friday
afternoon against Kalamazoo Col
lege at Briggs Field. The kickoff is
set Tor p. m.
The Hurons, who now have a
record Of two victories. two defeats
and one tie for the season, must cap
ture at least two out OF their three
remaining games in order TO fin
ish out the year on the winning
side.
Kalamazoo apparently is the
strongest OF the trio Of MIAA teams
still TO face Michigan Normal. Al
bion and Hillsdale should be fairly
easy for the up and-coming Hurons.
Coach Elton j. Ryuearson still has
a back'ield problem to worry about.
Although no further injuries were
incurred IN the Wayne University
contest last week. he feels that a
few changes are necessary In order
to bolster the Huron secondary.
For example. there is not a single
replacement for Bob Harvey at
quarterback. Rynearsou therefore
has been grooming Bob Erbe. sub
stitute halfbaack, as reserve signal
caller Erbe is still bothered by a
sore hip. but he is likely to play
part of Fridays game
Both of Huron fullbacks, Clare
Krawczak and Joe Dowdy, are trou-
bled with bruises and sore shout
