Turner, speed pilot, were listed as
witnesses before the Lee group.
Senator Truman said the steel
situation is the main interest of his
committee, and that the inquiry into
the cancellation of the Higgins con-
tract would serve as a starting point
for general steel inquiry opening
a week from tomorrow.
Senator Euender, Democrat, of
Louisiana, declaring he would dis
cuss the Higgins contract along
with other Louisiana matters with
President Roosevelt today, said:
Il would be curious to have the
flgures to show how the 10000, 900
tons Of annual production are util-
lied by the 10 war agencies having
priorities on this steel and where
this steel goes.'
He charged steel interests control
many snipyards, and that they are
opposed to expedited production be-
cause 1t would make their plants
obsolete after the war.
Mr.. Higgins told the committee
yesterday his ships could be built on
a 274,O00 man-hour basis and save
the Government 100000 a ship in
labor costs alone.

he believes Americans will be glad
to make
Sugar Outlook Darker.
His warning conceded with an
announcement from the Office of
Price Administration that the out
look for future sugar supplies from
Cuba and Puerto Rico had taken
a turn for the worse" because Of
submarine warfare in the Carib-
bean and diversion of shipping.
The OPA reported critical Short
ages In Louisiana and Texas sugar
refinery stocks. which recently were
said to be so large as to tax ware
house facilities. The supply situa-
ton in the Northeast is now some
what better than earlier in the
year." the OPA said, however.
Mr.. Roosevelt cited the current
shortage of meats in some areas as
symptomatic of conditions which will
produce deficiencies of certain other
foods in the future.
The President attributed the lack
Of meat to the fact that the armed
services have grown to about 4,0O0,-
600 men, with greater consumption
of meat than in normal times; be-
cause of more and better cuts by
people with more money to spend,
and arrival of the off season for
beef.
Salvage Drive Aid Urged.
Describing the coming scrap SAL
wage drive as an opportunity for
every person to take a personal part
in the war effort, the President
called on families to ransack cellars,
attics and backyards for old metal.
rubber, and he urged that waste
fats be turned over to meat mar
kets.
The lack of raw materials. Mr..
Roosevelt added, is in many ways a
seriously limiting factor in war pro-
duction. The more scrap turned in,
he said. the greater the output of
planes, tanks and guns.
The President said he still was
scrutinizing the imitation problem
but was not ready to announce his
next step. Information on the sub
ject, he said, was being boiled down
for him by Samuel Rosenman, New
York Supreme Court justice, a close
adviser.

Shortages 10 Bring
More Sacrifices,
Roosevelt Warns
Public Asked to Make
Careful Search for Scrop
To Aid War Effort

A warning from President
Roosevelt that growing shortages
in many things Americans like to
eat and use are going to bring
the war closer home to every
family confronted the Nation to-
day with the prospect of increas-
ing sacrifices.
The Presidents warning was
sounded at press conference late
yesterday when he appealed for full
civilian participation in the national
scrap salvage campaign beginning
this week, and disclosed that he
plans some new move in the rubber
problem and still is studying what
additional steps are needed to keep
down the cost of living.
While there is no need to worry
about a scarcity of food, the Presi-
dent said, shortages in many spe-
chic items as a result of war con-

agency with power to increase pro-
duction of synthetic rubber from
grain alcohol, the President replied:
The chances are it will get
vetoed"
He authorized direct quotation.
While asserting that he was plan
ming an additional move regarding
rubber, the President said he was
not ready to disclose what it would

Other developments expected to
cause more persons to feel effects

Defense Transportation Director
Joseph B. Eastman for elimination

is available.
Gives Up FavOrite Food.
Remarking that the country Is
going to have lot more such prob
lens as the meat shortage, the
President mentioned his liking for
caviar.
He said caviar is his favorite food,
but he had not had any for a long
time. Doing without the delicacy
might be called sacrifice, he point
ed out, although 1t is not necessary
to keep body and soul together.
To meet the chief sugar shortage
situation, OPA asked reiners in
Louisiana and Texas to withdraw
from the sugar market in Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio until September l.
Officials said it was hoped that
receipts of raw sugar from Cuba and
Puerto Rico during August would
permit the companies to re-enter
these markets after that date, but
warned that If supplies fell below
expectations. the restrictions on de-
liveries might be continued.

Engineers Removing
Wreckaee Of Bridge
AT Chesapeake City
Crane Reported Rushed
To Lift Debris From
Tunker's Bow
By the Associated Press.


CHESAPEAKE CITY. Md. July
29-The Army Engineer Corps
swiftly tackled today the job of
clearing away wreckage OF the big
steel Chesapeake City highway
drawbridge which was knocked into
the Chesapeake g. Delaware Canal
by an oil tanker yesterday.
Third Service Command officials
said every effort is being made to
remove the debris quickly in order
that normal canal operations may
be resumed
The tanker. more than halfway
through the 20-mile canal and head
ing toward Chesapeake Bay. veered
out Of control in strong current,
although under escort of three tugs
and rammed the southern bridge
foundation.
When the 155-foot south tower
crashed across the tankers bow the
appraised steel and concrete roadway
collapsed, bringing down the north
tower with roar as it splashed
into the canal.
The tanker came to rest at an
even keel. although twisting steel
ripped a hole in the ships bow. 1t
was reported 100-ton floating crane
was being rushed here by the War
Department engineers to lift the
wreckage from the tankers bow.
Army officials said one man was
bruised and scratched.
Additional excitement was pro-
vided when five shells of an anti
aircraft gun on the vessels bow were
detonated. A small fire broke out,
but quick action by the crew soon
brought the flames under control
Offlcials said the tanker was load
ed only with partial cargo.
Meanwhile traffic on Route 2l3
was being detoured over Summit
Bridge and the Dupont highway.

b. the Associated Press.
A WPB official testified today
that shortage of engines of suf-
ficient horsepower prevents a
quick shift to production of
giant cargo and troop p-carrying
planes.
Harold E. Talbot, director of air
transportation for the War Produc-
ton Board, told the Senate Defense
Investigating Committee that
engines in production are allocated
through next year, but he added
that the Army and Navy had mot
neglected. construction of cargo
planes and troop transports.
Any greater shift to such carriers.
he said, would have to be made at
the expense of bombers and some
fighters requiring engines of great
horsepower
Cargo Planes in Production.
A secret report by a committee
appointed by WPB Chairman Donald
M. Nelson dealing with all phases
of the air transport problem is in
the hands of Mr. Nelson and Army
and Navy officials, Mr.. Talbot said
He described it as "a satisfactory
document"
This phase of the plane de-
velopment program has not been
neglected. Mr.. Talbot reiterated
He said cargo and troop-carrying
planes were in production at a
Curtiss- Wright plant and a Waco
Plant.
Chairman Truman of the commit
tee earlier had expressed hope that
an inquiry into the cancellation of
Andrew Jackson Higgins contract
for building 200 Liberty ships would
throw some light on the steel
situation"
The committee also summoned
Henry j. Kaiser, West Coast ship
builder, who advocates the diversion
OF shipyard capacity to the building
OF 70-ton flying boats, for a first
hand description of his plan. At the
same time a Senate Military At
fairs Subcommittee opened hearings
on legislation to authorize construc-
ton of a plane cargo and trans
port fleet.
Higgins Returns Home.
Senator Truman said since steel
is the basis of the controversy
which followed cancellation of the
Higgins Corp, contract at New Or
leans, his committee wants to de-
termine if there is a shortage of
steel for war purposes, and why"
He added that Mr.. Kaiser, whose
mass production methods are some
what similar to those of Mr.. Hig-
gins, might aid the committee in
determining the justification for
cancellation of the New Orleans
contracts and shed light on the
adaptability of the Higgins plant to
cargo plane construction.
Mr.. Higgins returned to New Or
leans last night after a week of
conferences with the Maritime
Commission, which Cancelled the
contract, and other officials. He
termed "phoney" the commission's
explanation that there is steel
shortage

struct flying boats as "our only hope
