small handling charges, or about
$l10 a bushel. Chicago basis. This
operation would, in effect, be equiv
alent to a l0-cent-a-bushel subsidy.
This plan, 1t was said. would not
affect food prices, because corn
would be available to users at pres
ent prices.
Coupled with the plan may be a
change in the price support pro-
gram for hogs. The Government
is now committed to a program sup
porting hogs at $l375 a hundred
pounds, Chicago basis, for heavy
hogs.
VIA officials have been saying
that, due to a dwindling corn sup
ply, the Government should now
discourage feeding OF hogs to heavy
weights by shifting the support basis
to medium weight hogs. Such q
shift would tend to reduce require
ments of corn for hog feeding and
make more of the grain available
for industrial users and feeders OF
other livestock.
The plan of using the combination
of a higher corn ceiling and SUBJ
sides to pull corn of the farm with
out increasing food costs may be
held up pending development on ar

Government Studying
Subsidy, Ceiling Rise
To End Corn Squeeze
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The administration, having
beaten off antisubsidy legislation,
has under consideration a plan
to break the current critical corn
squeeze by the use of subsidies
and an increase in the corn price
ceiling.
The corn situation is perhaps the
most perplexing food production
problem now confronting the Gov
ernment. insufficient supplies OF
the grain are now moving to mar
ket from farms to supply needs
of professors of corn products and
requirements of cattle and poultry
feeders in deficit feed-producing
areas of the East.
1t is being held on farms largely
for two reasons. First, farmers with
hogs can make more money by
feeding their corn to this class OF
livestock than by selling the grain
at the current Government price
ceiling, which is SLOT a bushel
Chicago basis. Second, some farm
ers are holding corn for a possible
advance in the ceiling price.

plan under which the ceiling would
be raised, possibly to sl.20 hushel

would buy the grain at this price

Kaiser Asks Van zandI
To Retract Charges
Of Defective Vessels
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PORTLAND, Greg, July 3.-Henry
j. Kaiser, angered by charges made
against his oregon Shipbuilding
Corp. at a congressional subcom-
mittee hearing here. wants a public
retraction of the charge that four
of the yards Liberty cargo carriers
broke up at sea from structural
defects
The charge was made by Repre-
sentative Van Zandt, Republican,
of Pennsylvania, who joined other
members of the committee yester-
day in expressing regret that the
erroneous impression had been
created through misinterpretation
of report of the American Bureau
of Ships on shipping losses.
Warns Public of Rumors.
Il believe he (Van Zandt should
frankly tell the people what he now
knows to be the truth, that not
one of the Oregon yards ships has
broken up and been lost at sea, u
Mr.. Kaiser said in a written state
ment.
Il can take it so far as personal
criticism is concerned. But cam
not take it when supposedly in
formed member of Congress walks
into this city of ships and in effect
tells our 10000 workers they are
building ships which 60 doVn at
sea-Which are not safe to travel on
and not doing the war job.
This incident should be warm
ing to the public not to accept every
rumor and hastily issued charge
that comes along"
The shipbuilder said he welcomed
any congressional committee that
wants to learn facts but asserted
that the hit-or miss method being
followed is injuring the morale OF
the Nation"
Ships Still in Service.
In refuting Mr.. Van Zandt s
charge about the four lost" Liberty
ships, Edgar F. Kaiser. manager OF
three Kaiser yards in the Portland
Vancouver area, said at yesterday S
concluding session of the hearing
that the American Bureau of Ships
informed him by long distance tele-
phone the ships were still in service

CoIIyers Face
Sale of Home
For Tax Bill
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Jan. 1S.-Langley
and Homer Collyer. the recluse
brothers of Harlem who averted
eviction from their boarded brown
stone house last November l8 by
paying off the mortgage at the. last
moment, are in trouble again-this
time with the ONCE of internal
revenue over Homer's income tax.
The collectors Office says that
Homer, the blind and paralyzed
elder brother, stopped paying an in
come tax in 1881 and now owes the
Government 81 900 plus interest. A
legal advertisement has been pre-
pared, it was said, stating that the
house will be sold at public auction
February for non-payment of
taxes.
John r. McMullen, an attorney
who represents the brothers in legal
matters when is is able to COM
municate with them, said 1t is pos
sible that Homer may tell his
younger brother. Lagley, to settle
the matter at the last moment.
II haven't been able to speak to
Langley since November 49," Mr..
McMullen said. I've written him
dozens of letters and my assistant
has dropped them in the letter box,
but I haven't received a single
answer"

no food to give him. During the
night Rick held the boy-he was
only lin his arms to protect him
from the spray and keep him warm.
He seemed better at dawn of our
18th day adrift, but it was the last
dawn he ever was to see.
Alex appeared to rest pretty we'll
during the day, and in the evening
he insisted on going back to his
own raft. De Angels went over to
Rickenbacker's boat and Johnny
Bartek rode the little raft with Alex.
AS the night wore on Alexis delirium
returned. Then, sometime after
midnight, he grew suddenly quiet.
At am. Bartek called to us,
Hey, you fellows, I think Alex is
dead" We pulled the RATS together
and Capt. Rickenbacker, Cherry
and I examined him. 1t was true.
Rickenbacker said we could do
nothing until daylight, so the RATS
were allowed to string out again.
Burial From Raft.
When our thirteenth dawn came
up, I saw Johnny Bartek had been
holding his little khaki-covered Tes-
lament in his hand, though it was
too dark to read. The east famed
up in spectacular red and gold and
the sun seemed to leap out of the
sea into the sky.
We pulled the RATS together and
said the Lords prayer. Then 1t De
Angels recited as much as he could
remember of the moving Catholic
burial service. Both he and Alex
were Of that faith. 1 remember a
line here and there:
20 God, great and omnipotent
Judge of the living and the dead,
before whom we are all to appear
after this short life, let our hearts
be moved at this sight Of death and
while we consign the body to the
sea, let us be mindful Of our own
frailty and mortality Eternal
rest grant to him, o Lord, and may
eternal light shine upon him"
Johnny Bartek fastened the zip
pers of Alexis flying suit. We all
said the Lords prayer again and
put him into the water. I could
see him for long time.
We held another prayer service
shortly afterward, then we were all
very quiet for a long time. Alex
had been a good boy. We hadn't
been able to do more for him.
The burial service took our minds
off ourselves for a time, but the
blazing heat brought back our thirst
and intensified the agonies of the
seven suffering from salt water
ulcers. I think I was more de-
pressed than at any other time. II
was hard to keep from seeing in
Alexis fate the precursor of my own.
But we were on the brink of the
first of two miracles that were to
