it's initial trip under the captains
command went to North and West
Africa and back to New York for
a total of 5000 miles without a
mishap.
Of the performance of Liberty
ships, Captain Sargent had moth
ing but praise. He said that to
most shippers ship is a ship
and most of them have kinks which
have to be ironed out. Asked to
translate to landlubber's language,
he said it was slightly comparable
to handling a high-spirited horse at
times and that crews must become
acquainted with the behaviour OF
ships under certain conditions. He
said in his experience with the Lib
erty ships he had never had any
layouts for repairs and that they
were not only we'll constructed and
entirely seaworthy but first class
cargo ships in every way.

The captain finally admitted he
had several narrow escape in near
brushes with the enemy although
he had never actually been torpe-

an enemy engagement. He SAID
he was able to escape because he

WASHINGTON, Oct "a. -(P-
Plans for three gigantic new air
craft carriers are the Nays grim
notice of a realistic conclusion
that war in the Pacific will con-
tinue past 1915.
Secretary Knox's announcement
that the $4,000 tonners will go on
the ways "scon," serves also to
underscore the decision that sea-
borne airpower must be employed
in increasing force to crush Japan.
The new giants, bristling with fire
power, carrying extra armor and
capable of far greater speed than
existing carriers, will be able to
throw against the Nipponese pig
bonbers which now are necessarily
land based.
The Knox announcement only
made official information already
reaching Capitol Hill.
The carriers will not be COM
pleted until late 1945, Sin plenty
of time to participate in the Bat
tie in the Pacific" said one IN
formed legislator.
Upon the basis of information
from high-ranking War and Navy
chiefs, he expressed belief that de-

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, Al
giers. Oct. 24-(RHThe destruction
wrought by the Germans at Ma
pies exceeded anything he had ex-
pected, Treasury Secretary Henry
Morgenthau said today after a
swing through war sectors which
took him to Tunisia, Sicily, Naples
and the Fifth Army front.
"In Naples harbor the Ger
mans not only sank vessels, but
they chained them to other YES
sells to make the raising OF them
more difficult" he said.
Regarding the recent recommen-
dation of U. S. senators who visit
ed this theater that American SOL
diers be given home leave after a
stipulated period of service abroad,
Morgenthau said the soldiers he
had met did not want to go home
until the Germans arc beaten.
Turning to financial matters he
said he felt Army Special Service
officers had done good job of
selling war bonds to soldiers in
this theater of operations Gin some
cases." but he planned to send a
''topflight man" into the area to
take over the job.

has become secondary to technical
knowledge and the use of the ra-
dio and instruments and the cadet
program is not only supplying
training and instruction but fur
nishing the maritime profession
with high-type of men whose
ability will reflect itself in an i'm
proved merchant marine of the flu
ture.
Thus far, he said, there has been
no difficulty with the food supply
for the crews on any of his COM
mands. Altho Ugh rationed to GER
tain extent here and certain sup
plies in foreign ports are not al
ways available for the return trips
the food his crews have been serv-
ed has been of an excellent ma
ture. He said it is customary
among seamen to "growp' about
the food just as the Army is said
to "gripe" about its chow.
The captains hobby is fishing
and he has been able to indulge it,
though infrequently since the war
began, by dropping line in not
only the seven seas but almost
every salt water body of impor-
...L.ce in the W rid. He enjoys fresh
water fishing to a lesser degree.

picks up materials for it in various
far flung ports. Recently he finish
ed some poles for which he obtain
ed the bamboo in Calcutta. He al
so ties an occasional fly although
he has little use for them on salt
water.
His permanent home is on Cape
Cod and he comes from an old sea-
faring family although he is the
first member in recent generations
to 20 to sea. He has one son who
is now serving with the U. S.
Merchant Marine. Mrs. Sargent,
his charming wife, is with him in

accomplished despite continual
strafing raids by japanese who
made more than $50 attacks on the
strip within two months.
Vella field has played a leading
part in the heavy air strokes
against Bougainville island bases.
It is only 80 miles from Kahili and
can possibly be used for fighter
escorts, at least by P-38s, for
bombers raiding Rabaul on the tip
of New Britain, $50 miles away.
The United States now has sew
eral bomber and fighter strips on
Guadalcanal and fighter strips at
Munda and Segi on New Georgia,
others in the Russell islands, and at

pected to be of little use.

SENATE MAY VOTE
SUBSIDY MEASURE
Roosevelt Cautioned That
Lawmakers Oppose
Food Program

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. -R-
One Of President Roosevelt's long
standing friends on Capitol Hill
has cautioned him that a MAORI
ty of the Senate not only opposes
continuation and expansion of the
food subsidy program but appar-
emily is in the mood to pass anti
subsidy legislation even over his
veto.
So tightly do the interests of
Democratic senators from the ru-
raj South dovetail with those Of
the Republicans from the Midwest
farm area, this lawmaker said,
that it is hard to imagine how
the coalition could be disrupted by
anything the president might say
in his food price subsidy message,
expected this week.
A bill forbidding subsidies to
keep down retail food prices al
ready has been approved by the
House Banking committee and is
expected to be acted upon by the
representatives early next month.
The bill continues the life Of the
Commodity Credit Corporation
from December 81 to July, 1915,
but does not grant the extra $780,
100000 borrowing power which the
Administration asked for the CCC.
1t also prohibits fixing ceilings
below support prices.
Congressional rejection Of the
subsidy ban was called for by the
National Lawyers Guild in state
ment today. The organization de-
clared that unless subsidies are
used to strengthen price control,
the stability of the nations econ
omy will be threatened by con-
stantly increasing prices thus
opening the floodgates to imitation
and endangering the country's war
effort
THE ill-advised action Of the
House committee. unless reversed
by Congress, will cost consumers
from 10 to Is billion dollars, will
give impetus to wave of demands
for wage increases and start dis
astrous inflationary cycle" the
Guild said.
The presidents hold-the-line or
der on the cost of living is at
issue in the developing battle.
Price administration officials say
it will be impossible to roll back
food prices to the level OF Septem-
her Is, 1912 without subsidies.
It is likely that legislation to
force an increase in the price OF
milk may be attached as rider
to the CCC bill when it comes be-
fore the Senate.

carried out supporting sweeps
with the loss of one Spitfire. Ten
enemy planes were brought down.
Berlin and Luxembourg radios
went off the air tonight, indicat-
ing that another Allied raid might
be underway against Germany.
Meanwhile, up from the Medi-
