Capt. Fred 8. Ralph said today in

The huge Sikorsky flying boat was

Ship Soon Mas Of Flame.
They dived six or seven times,
he said, registering effective hits
and soon the silver ship was q mass
Of flame.
Laughingly, he described the water
he stood in during the attack as
"the hottest water I've even been in.
Capt. Ralph, . slender, soft
spoken Tufts College graduate Of
81. said he originally was scheduled
to leave Hong Kong at . that morn
ing with ~ passengers but that he
was notified by the airport manager

an early departure.
Take-oh was set for 7:20 and
harbor defenses had been notified
Of the flight, Capt. Ralph related
but 10 minutes before then he was
told to delay. his departure. Five
minutes later word came that Great
Britain and Japan were at war
Shortly before 8 the Japanese

From then until the evening of

Aviation Corp. with organizing the
evacuation Of 275 adults and more
than 100 children into the interior

Like the captain OF . ship, Capt
Ralph was the last member of the
Clipper personnel to leave the dan

Sued for $10,275,000

To VOL, Antitrust
Action Charges
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-The Mutual
Broadcasting System and six atili-
ated stations filed SO PTS 900 dam
age suit In Federal Court today,
charging the Radio Corp. of Amer
lea and the National Broadcasting
Co. with illegally restricting the
transmission of M. B. s. Nation
wide network programs.
Brought under the Sherman Anti
Trust Act, the suit sought three
times the amount of the $3,425 900
damages actually claimed.
The complaint charged r. c. A..
and Its subsidiary, N. B. c., and
the officers and agents OF the cor
poration with engaging in "an un-
lawful combination and conspiracy
among themselves and with third
persons to injure plaintiffs -"
Contracts CHALLENGED.
Challenged specifically was the
validity of contracts between N. B.
C.s blue network and affiliated sta
tions in cities having less than four
stations Of comparable facilities.
Under option time clauses in some
contracts, the suit alleged, N. B. c.
could on % days notice 'use all or
as substantial part of the time Of
Q station as 1t required" The bill
complained this prevented M. B. S.
from competing "for the desirable
hours"
Except for said unlawful acts
and practices, Mutual could have
been able to obtain continuous time
during the preferred hours on
broadcast stations in many impor-
tant cities"
The complaint contended further
that in cities having less than four
stations, N. B. c. controlled two
stations and the Columbia Broad
casting System the third.
Sitting of Competition CHARGED.
This effectively stiles the growth
OF any competitive network and If
permitted to continue, will make
Mutuals continued existence i'm
possible" it said.
The suit contended N. B. C..
operated its Blue and Red networks
jointly, and asked that the corpo-
ration be enjoined from carrying
out the alleged conspiracy and from
maintaining or entering into fur
ther contracts In restraint of the
Tree transmission of programs.
The amounts Of actual damages
claimed were: Mutual System, ST.
100000; WGN of Chicago. $3.50. 900:
WOR OF New York, 81, 900 900: VOL

Georgia Ore May Help

For War Needs
New Extraction Method
Will EnobIe Low-Grude
Product to Be Used
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Jan. 10.-Georgia may
play an important part in helping
overcome the prospective shortage
of manganese, needed in manufac-
ture Of heavy armament for the
Nations war effort.
Garland Peyton, Georgia State
director Of mining and geology, an
nounced development Of a process
grade ore.
Recent experiments, he said, show
that through . magnetic roast" at
approximately 1000 degrees tenn
perature in q specially constructed
furnace, it is possible to bring low
grade ore, found in abundance In
the Gainesville district in North
Georgia, UP to Government specifi-
cations.
Experiment Made ut Norris Dam.
The experiments were conducted
by researchers of the Tennessee
Valley Authority at Norris Dam
Tenn. at the suggestion of the
Georgia Division OF Mining and
Geology.
Huge deposits OF the ore around
Gainesville are of a grade normally
under the 48 per cent specifications
Of the Government. The T. v. A.
men. with suggestions from Mr.
Peyton, worked out a formula call
ing for intensive heat treatment,
with about 20 per cent coke, which
changed the iron content of the
Georgia product to the desired mag
netic type Of iron ore.
After heating, the ore Is passed
through q magnetic separator, which
raises the grade to q quality needed
for such steel as armor plate, rail-
way track iron, and other types of
steel which must have great tough
ness to resist penetration.
Mr.. Peyton said it would be neces.
sary to build a plant to process tn,
product. Such a plant could be con.
structed for approximately $25 900
he said, with provision for addi.
ttonal units as the industry develops
Georgia Ore Easily Mined.
The Georgia ore is easily mined
being of q texture that can be

1t resembles coarse, reddish yellow

Peyton said.

Price Control
fContinued From First Page

mended by the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee fixed the parity
level at ITO. The OMahoney amsnd-
ment also provided that no ceiling
should be fixed lower than the Octo-
ber l or the December Is price of
farm product. whichever was high
er. The October 1 date is in the
House bill. On some commodities,
the December IS price is higher.
Taft Proposal Rejected.
The administration scored a VIC
tory. however, when the Senate de-
feated an amendment offered by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
which would have substituted a
board of five members to fix prices
instead of a single administrator.
The vote against the Taft amend
ment was IS to 10.
Senator Taft, arguing in support
OF his amendment, insisted that
price fixing was partly legislative
junction and partly judicial func-
tion-not purely work for an ad-
ministrator. The chairman of the
board he proposed, he said, would
also be designated administrator" :"
to handle the administrative func-
tions of the job.
He said that the Senate had al
ready demonstrated, in the amend
ments adopted, that it felt the far
mers must be protected from the
orders OF one man." He said that
Mr.. Henderson, now functioning as
price administrator under executive
order. had by one order put $4,000
automobile dealers and 100000 of
their employees out OF business.
He insisted that a board. under
his amendment, would hold hear
ings in advance OF price fixing, that
1t could and would function
promptly, and that hearing before
one man, a price administrator
would be merely an argument" :"
The House bill, he pointed out, has
1 provision for a board, but merely
to act as a board Of appeals after
prices have been fixed.
Senator Brown, Democrat, of
Michigan, in charge of the bill,
told the Senate that the President
feels strongly" in favor of a one
man administrator and against a
board. He said that during the last
world war control of food prices had
been placed under one man, Herbert
Hoover, fuel prices under DR.. Harry
A. Garfield, and prices of war ma
terials under Bernard Baruch, and
that all had functioned well.
Strictly a War Measure.
To this Senator Taft replied that
these men had set up committees
to aid them in price fixing.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri, opposed the Taft proposal, say
ing that the only justification Of
the passage of a price control bill
was that 1t was war measure and
that it should be considered from
that point of view alone. He said
that 1t would be just as reasonable
to have a commission" act as COM
nander in chief of the Army, or
of the fleet in the Pacific or the
Atlantic.
This bill has already been COM
pletely emasculated in the Senate" !"
said Senator Clark. The only rea-
son he would vote for it, he added,
was that the whole matter would
b opened up again in conference.
1.-THE failure of the drive for war
production up to date" he said,
has been due to the fact that we
