Davis Hopes Senate
Will Restore Funds;
Will Quit Otherwise
Mcclellan and Hill Silent
On How They Will Act.
But Hearing Is Assured

Denied funds by the House for
operation Of his agency's domestic
branch, Director Elmer Davis Of the
Once of War Information will take
his case to the Senate this week
amid some indications that he may
not be too well received there.
Mr.. Davis told a press conference
yesterday that, should the Senate
sustain House action in abolishing
the domestic branch, There would
be no more owl" and that he would
resign. He said Acting Chairman
McKellar had promised a hearing
before the Senate Appropriations
Committee, land we will make some
representations to them"
Both Senators McKellar and Hill,
Democrat of Alabama, acting ma
jority leader, declined to comment
on House action in cutting Owls
budget. Some Senate Republicans
said it would be all right with them
II owl is abolished. Senator Nye,
Republican Of North Dakota,
member of the Appropriations Com
mittee, said he would support the
move to trim Owl funds.
Up to Congress, Davis Says.
II don't think there is any such
need to sell the American people
this war as the plans of the owl
seem to indicate" Senator Nye said.
Congress makes the laws and
Congress makes the appropriation,
Mr.. Davis told reporters, land If the
Senate should concur with the
opinion of the House that there
should be no more Owl, why, that's
that"
The House voted late Friday to
appropriate no funds for the opera
ton of the Owl domestic branch
in the next fiscal year. A budget
of $8,865, 900 was requested for this
purpose. The Appropriations Com
mittee trimmed the figure to S.
100000. Approximately 1900 of
Owls 1000 employees would be cut
of by the move.
Mr.. Davis said he would remain
as director 'if the Senate should
choose to leave us enough to do a
job here, the job that was laid down
for me. But it all depends on
whether the job is here. So long
as the job is here, If the President

Machine Gunned Men
From Torpedoed Ship
Survivors All Escaped
By Diving Under Water
Until Firing Ceased
BY the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 49,
Three Navy guriners of a United
States merchant ship today related
how the Japanese, after torpedoing
the vessel somewhere in the South
west Pacific, began methodical job
of attempting to machine gun the
weary survivors.
The crew Of another merchant
vessel, which also was sunk in South
Pacific waters. told of hitting sharks
with oars to prevent them from get
ting into boxes of food which had
been dropped by rescue planes.
The Navy. announcing survivors
OF the two ships had been landed in
San Francisco, told of the japanese
tactics in stories by Arvid Glenn
Newton, coxswain, East Los Angeles;
Eugene N. Hudson, Cincinnati, Ohio,
and Homer Glenn Kraeger, Grand
Haven, Mich.
In Boats 16 Hours.
Immediately after the ship sank,
the Japanese submarine came to the
surface and began a methodical job
OF passing by all life boats and RATS,
except one, and machine cunning
the weary survivors.
Not single man was lost, how
ever, because the Navy said all men
rolled off their life craft and re-
mained submerged until the firing
had ceased and the submarine again
submerged.
The men remained in their boats
and RATS for 16 hours before they
were rescued by the Navy.
On the other vessel. two men were
killed and four were injured in the
torpedo attack.
George Pirie. %, of Oakland, Calf
a radio operator on the other ship.
stuck to his key until the water
floated him off the vessel.
He said rescue planes soon spotted
the survivors in their three lifeboats
and two RATS.
Battled Sharks.
The planes dropped us boxes of
food" he related But we had to
bat the sharks over the heads with
oars to keep them from chewing
into the boxes"
Other crew members told how the
first torpedo had dislodged the radio
antenna, and how Mr.. Pirie fixed
the wires. although all lights were
out, and flashed word for aid.
He was nearly up to his knees in
water before he could give the
ships position. Then he had to
swim for his life.
Airplanes arrived three hours
later and finally an armed vessel
reached the survivors nine hours
after the torpedoing.
Saved Suitcase.
Paul Hetter, 81, San Francisco
second assistant engineer, was
credited by the crew with saving
many lives by rushing to the engine
room and opening the door so the
men could escape.
Crew members related how Mr..
Pirie, after sending the radio mes
sage. swan about 300 yards tugging
his suitcase along in the water.
When rescuers got him aboard,
they also dragged along the suit
case. The next day several OF the.
rescued crew got headaches.
III fix you guys up" Mr.. Pirie
remarked. He opened the suitcase,
took out bottle of aspirin tablets
and passed it around When it
finally was returned to him it was
empty.

Domestic Finish Ends owl.
Seemingly more disappointed
than esnbittered by the unexpected
House action, Mr. Davis pointed out
President Roosevelt created owl

domestic and foreign information. :"
He said the two operations had been
tiled 20 closely together, organi-
zationally, that great harm will be
done to the foreign setup by elimin-

the domestic side, that is an end of

Davis. Il don't know what will hap

Germ. But the House evidently en-
visages its continuance in some form
or other, but it will not be the owl
that the President laid down in the
executive order"
Il believe Mr.. Starnes Of Alabama
honored me by calling me the Amer

ferring to House debate on the Owl
issue. There are quite a number
Of differences, as Mr.. Starnes would
discover, if he read the executive

followed our activities with any

Senator Taft Urges
Fixing Of Postwar
Boundaries Now
Seeks to Avoid Fights
Among Small Nations
For More Territory
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio
said last night that the United Ma
tions after the war should impose
temporary boundaries "by force at
once" before permanent boundaries
are fixed by international agree
ment.
Speaking in a round table discus
sion, For This We Fight" over
National Broadcasting Co. hookup,
Senator Taft said the United Ma
tions should consult now on the fix
ing of postwar boundaries, and be
prepared to impose them the mo-
ment peace comes, so that all of
these small nations don't begin to
fight among themselves to gain ad-
ditional territory-so that there's
fait accompli when the final settle
ment is made"
Method of Determination.
Then I believe we can sit down
later on" he added. I'VE can deter
mine fair permanent boundaries
through integration with the eco
nomic plans of the nations, customs,
unions and the various regional
councils that ought to decide these
problems.
Participating in the discussion
with Senator Taft was James T..
Shotwell, chairman of the Com
mission to Study the Organiza-
ton of Peace. Elmer Davis, direc-
tor Of the Office of War Informa-
ton, was chairman.
Mr.. Shotwell said that "the real
danger and the greatest. danger
will be that we may have a
depression and panic some five
years after the war is over"
He added that the depression
could be averted only by interna-
tional action and conference and
negotiations.
Davis Favors General Plans.
II think that they can buttress
us, against disaster, and that is
sufdcient answer to those who are
timorous about the building of in
ternational economic relations into
an international structure"
Mr.. Davis said he agreed that
there ought to be immediate
studies by the United Nations on
economic questions and some gen.
eral plans developed"
Il think those plans ought not
to be finally adopted until they are
submitted to Congress and thor
oughly discussed" the Owl direc-
tor said, but think there ought
to be a great deal of work going
on now on the economic postwar
situation

The director said he would be glad
to resign If Congress objected only
to him but would restore the appro-
priation "for somebody else, because
1t is more important to have the Job
than to have me here, certainly" /
Mr.. Davis declared that the orig
inal appropriation request was not
padded, and he believed it would cost
the Government considerably more
by dispensing news through the in
dividual agencies than under the
