LONDON, Sept. 9.-Official circles

marine campaign was under way,
aimed at subjecting each Nazi un-
derwater raider to constant attacks
from the surface and air during the
whole time it is at sea.
"We must destroy U-boats faster
than Germany can commission

U-boat which We hope will produce
the results we want"
He termed fantastic proposal
to divert all shipment of war mate
rials to air freighters as means OF
defeating the submarines.
Certain specialized equipment
can and has been transported by
air" he said, "but the great bulk
Of the material must 60 by ships"
However, the British government
has placed orders for cargo-carrying
aircraft and a suitable production
program has been arranged" Col.

Britain S War Spending Put

LONDON, Sept. 9.-Moving for a
vote OF credit of f1OO0, 900, 900 ga
900, ,00O, Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer Sir Kingsley Wood asserted
today that Britain's war expenditure
in recent weeks have average f12,-
250,O00 day and has increased by
s2,000,000 a day since June.
Sir Kingsley told the House of
Commons the motion for a new
credit would bring the total of such
notes to f11,050, 100000 since the
beginning of the war.
He said the governments expendi-
lures on goods and services probably
would absorb 81 per cent of Britain S
national resources this year COM
pared with A per cent in 1910.
Three years of war have cost us
f10 900 100000 and, including the
cost of the debt and our normal
peacetime services, our total ex-
penditure has been f12 100, 900 900,
the chancellor said.
"Of that last huge total We have
met 40 per cent out of taxation"
He paid tribute to the British
people for shouldering the burden OF
heavy taxation, pointing out that
despite an increase by one-third in
the rate of expenditure, the govern
ment was raising As per cent of the
cost by taxation this year compared
with only IS per cent in 1940-4l,'
Sir Kingsley said 1912 taxation

Criticism Subsidies,

Work on Price Bill
Comprehensive Measure
To Be Offered in
Senate Tomorrow
p, the Associated Press.


An initial blaze of congress
sional opposition to President
Roosevelt's demand for legisla-
ton to stabilize farm prices sub
sided somewhat today as admin
istration leaders labored over a
bill which they hoped would
appeal to farm and labor groups
alike.
Speaker Rayburn said after q
White House conference this morn
ing that he believed new anti-infla-
ton legislation, which Mr.. Roosevelt
has asked Congress to pass by
october l, should be as general as
possible, giving the President the
necessary powers to stabilize all
factors in the cost of living. Mr..
Rayburn added that probably" the
House could meet the October /
deadline. -
House Majority Leader McCor-
mack, who with Speaker Rayburn
conferred with Mr.. Roosevelt for
more than two hours on the legis-
lative prospects, agreed that the res
olution should be drafted in general
terms.
Rayburn Urges Speed.
Mr.. Rayburn said it would be wiser
to enact bill with broad termi-
nology, than to mention specific
items such as farm prices or wages.
although he said he would have no
great objection to their specific in
clusion.
The Speaker said, Were going to
try to go along with this thing as
fast as we can"
The measure will be discussed bv
the leaders with Chairman Steagall
OF the House Banking Committee,
who may be asked to introduce it,
and with other Banking Committee
members. The committee handled
the present price control measure.
Chairman Brown of a Senate sub
committee which has handled pre-
vious price-control legislation an
nounced earlier that a comprehensive
measure would be introduced in
tne senate tomorrow and would be
taken up by the full banking COM
mlttee either Friday or Monday.
The Michigan senator, declaring
both houses should act promptly
and simultaneously on the Presi-
dents request, said:
While some may feel that he
put the proposition rather bluntly
by telling us you do it or I will
and by putting time limit on a
rather slowmoving Congress, it
must be remembered that action is
vital and vital now"
Price Floors Favored.
There was little apprehension on
Capitol Hill that the President
would move to stabilize prices by
executive order on October l, pro-
vided Congress had made good prog
ress toward that end by the deadline
he mentioned.
Although details of the bill re-
manned to be worked out, Senator
Brown sketched a broad program

While Gen. MacArthur's forces

said Fighter planes strafed the

Make Other Attacks.
Two more attacks were made on
the warships among the Tobriand

that destroyer probably was hit.
Weather conditions made observa-

The warships apparently were

Liner Manhattan
Burns al Sea-;
1900 Saved
Naval Transports
Hulk Towed to Port:
No Lives Lost
(PictureS on Page A-3.)

The naval transport Wakefield,
formerly the liner Manhattan
was severely damaged by a fire
at sea September 3, the Navy an
nounced today, but more than
1900 passengers and crew mem
bers were removed without loss
of life.
The charred hulk of the 24,00O-ton
ship, once queen of the United States
merchant fleet, has been towed to
an Atlantic Coast port.
The Navy said preliminary re-
ports indicate that all the passen-
gers and crew are safe" but that
several crew members were injured.
The ship was en- route to an East
Coast port in convoy.
Many Civilians on Board.
The fire, of undetermined origin,
broke out on one deck level and
spread swiftly throughout the 10
year-old, sl0,000,o00 vessel.
1t soon became necessary to re-
move the more than 1000 passen-
gers, large number of whom we're
civilians.
In addition to the 1000 there
were, according to the vessels nor
NAL complement, 600 to 700 officers
and crewmen aboard, commanded by
'Comdr. Harold Gardner Bradbury
of Port Angeles, Wash. Coast
Guard officer.
The Navy said the rescue was
brought about in thrilling man
ner by warships protecting the con-
voy. A cruiser maneuvered her bow
alongside the stern of the big trans
port and a destroyer placed itself
along the side. At these close and
hazardous quarters the passengers
rapidly were transferred from the
blazing vessel to safety aboard the
warships," the Navy said
Crew Stays to Fight Fire.
The officers and crew of the
Wakefield remained aboard fighting
to bring the fire under control until
the spreading flames drove them
from the vessel to the cruiser.
Comdr. Bradbury later led a spe-
cial fire-fighting party back aboard
the Wakefield after the intensity
of the fire had decreased and sue
ceeded in getting the flames under
control. Tugs and salvage craft
had been summoned and they then
towed the liner to port.
The Wakefield was built as
the Manhattan by the New York
Shipbuilding Co., Camden. N. j., in
1882, and at the time of her compile
ton she was the largest transatlantic
liner built in the United States.
She was built to accommodate 1,161
passengers.
The vessel ran aground on the
beach at Palm Beach, Fla, in jan
uary, 194l, and was stuck for three
weeks before being dragged off.
The Manhattan was taken over
by the Navy later in the year and
renamed the Wakefield in accord
ance with the Navy's policy of nam
ing transports for historic shrines of
America, in this instance, the Vir-
ginia birthplace of George Wash
ington.

Judge Barse had the defendant
