Salvage Chief Is Confident
Normandie Will Sail Aqain
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The man
in charge Of the biggest salvage job
in the annals Of shipping says the
once-luxurious liner Normandie,
half submerged beside a Hudson
River pier since fire crippled her
February 9, will travel the seas
again.
Capt. William A. Sullivan, as
signed by the Navy to right the
83,423-ton sea queen so she can
carry American troops, told news
men during a visit inside the hulk
that her vast machinery again
would develop the 100000 horse
power that once sped her across the
Atlantic in record time.
Capt. Sullivan did not say when
he thought the French-built vessel
renamed the U. S. S. Lafayette
might float again, but when asked
If he thought she would roll into
position when certain phases of the
salvage operation were completed,
he replied:
Sure 1t will"
Capt. Sullivan and $50 workmen
are going to do the job by what the
captain called "the method of con-
trolled pumping"
This calls for sealing the ship,
dividing her into watertight COM
partments, then pumping the water
out slowly.
To pave the way for that intricate
job, all the superstructure above
water was removed. That under
water is being removed now, thus
lowering the ships center of grav-
ity.

Rubber Experts
Of Russia to Aid
[U. S. Program
By the Associatsd Press,


Russian experts are coming to the
United States to help get synthetic
rubber production going, william
M. Jefiers. rubber director, revealed
yesterday.
Mr.. Jeffers also told the Senate
Agriculture Committee that Rus
sian-made synthetic tires were being
sent here for examination.
The report last month of Presi-
dent Roosevelt's Special Committee
to Investigate Rubber, headed by
Bernard M. Baruch, disclosed that
the Soviet Government had offered
in February to furnish detailed in
formation on synthetic rubber man
ufacturing, but that the offer had
not been accepted.
Calling the failure to take ad-
vantage Of Soviet experience "inex-
plicable administration" the Baruch
Committees report said that had
the offer been accepted, "it Is con-
ceivable that plants for producing
synthetic rubber processes might
well be on the way to completion. "

Jap Alien Entitled 10 Use
u. 5. Courts, Attorney SAYS
BY the Associated Press.

~ WIG HSoVSl&eOo iCco
A Government attorney argued
in a brief filed with the Supreme
Court yesterday that Japanese alien
residing in the United States was
entitled to sue in this country's S
courts.
Robert L. Stern, Justice Depart
ment lawyer, contended that mo
national policy requires that Amer
ican citizens be relieved of their
just obligations or the consequences
Of their misconduct in dealing with
resident enemy aliens"
THE spirit of justice, upon which
our institutions are founded, and
the manifest undesirability of fore
ing innocent persons into want and
destitution," he added, forbid any
such result when not In the least
helpful to the effective prosecution
of the war"
Mr.. Stern said that the experience
of the United States in the past
and in the present war has dem
onstrated that the vast majority of
those subjects Of countries with
which we are at war. who reside
here, are either entirely loyal to
our institutions or at least unwill-
ing to disobey our laws by giving
aid to the enemy"
The litigation specifically in
volved the right of Kumezo Ka-
wato, a Japanese alien who lived
in Los Angeles, to prosecute suit
for maintenance, care and wages
as the result of an alleged injury
sustained while employed Oh the
fishing boat Rally in December
1910.
Federal District Judge Yankwich
refused on January 20, 1912, to hear
the case on the ground that it was
brought by an enemy alien.

Prince Georges Electric Lines
Garry OCD Radio Messages
Three Experts Perfect System to Send
And Receive Speech Through Cables

the Prince Georges defense units.
The three, he said, worked in close
cooperation with Robert Sherwood,
county civilian defense chief. Re-
ceiving stations now are located in
Mount Rainier, Cottage City. Bla-
densburg, Tuxedo and Hyattsville,
he said.
In explaining the network, Mr..
Wightman said the most interesting
part of the system is an emergency
feature which permits the continued
sending of messages even though
break may occur in the power lines
over which the waves travel When
the waves encounter a break, he said,
they become radio waves and by
induction jump the break to the
other end of the wire. The waves
will Jump, he added, up to about 200
feet.
Describes Mechanics.
Mr.. Wightman described the
mechanics of the system as follows:
Operating power is brought into
the transmitter from an electric light
socket and the operator carries out
his normal function of speaking into
the microphone. There is no true
antenna, but in its place the an
tenna wires are plugged into sec
ond light socket and the set Is
operated exactly as though mes
sages were being sent through the
air. Both sending and receiving
sets have coils which permit them
to operate on the same frequency.
With normal house current, he
pointed out, the network may be
operated over an area Of approx
mately 100 square miles. Both send
ing and receiving sets are made from
scrap materials not needed IN the
war effort.
At q recent demonstration Of the
network Washington OCD ofncials
expressed interest in the develop
ment and said the system eventually
might be used for intercity COM
munications over high-tension wires
In the event Of . breakdown Of tele-
phone and other facilities.

Conflict Between Two
Agencies on Salvage
Jobs Is Settled
War Materials, Inc, to
Garry Out Projects
Lined Up by WPB
By the Associsted press


Conflict between War Materials,
Inc, which finances big scrap sal
wage jobs with Government funds.
and the War Production Boards
Conservation Division, which super
vises the entire scrap collection ef-
fort, has been ironed by defining
the jurisdiction of each, a WPB
spokesman said last night.
The settlement, arrived at In a
conference yesterday, assigns to the
Conservation Division, headed by
Lessing j. Rosenwald, the task of
locating sources of scrap-such as
abandoned bridges or buildings
whose demolition could not be han
died profitably by private salvage
companies-and originating plans
for scrappdng them.
War Materials, Inc, headed by
John M. Hopwood in Pittsburgh, was
restricted to the functions of financ-
ing and making actual contracts for
demolition-in other words, carrying
out the projects which are lined up
by WPB.
The conflict arose, it was said be-
cause each agency believed itself
charged with authority to locate the
projects and initiate plans for the
salvaging. with the result that there
was duplication of effort.
Earlier in the day Mr.. Hopwood
had issued a brief statement In
Pittsburgh saying his agency's &C
tivities were being substantially
curtailed as result of a recent di-
rective issued by the WPB."
Mr.. Hopwood apparently had ref
erence to the agreement reached at
yesterdays conference between Mr.
Rosenwald and officials of the Re-
construction Finance Corp. The
agreement has not yet been reduced
to writing.
War Materials, Inc, was created
at WPB's request to finance salvage
jobs which required Government
funds. 1t is subsidiary of Metals
Reserve Corp. which in turn is a
subsidiary of RFC.
