Dies in Shanghai
BY the Associated Press.

Ignatius Timothy Trebitsch Lin
coin, whose amazing career of ad-
venture encompassed Europe, Asia
and America, died in Shanghai
Thursday night after an intestinal
operation, a Toxic broadcast re-
ported.
Born in Hungary, about 1870, Lin
coin had lived in Shanghai several
years as "Chao Kung," Buddhist
monk, "the most mysterious and
colorful of the horde of adventurers
that Shanghai attracted" said the
broadcast recorded by the Federal
Communications Commission.
At various times a member OF the
English Parliament, a self-confessed
spy, German press censor, An
glican preacher and Buddhist monk,
Lincoln once was Jailed three years
in Britain on charges Of espionage
and forgery.
Lincoln went to New York in 1915
wrote book, THE History of a
Spy; was later extradited to Brit
ain, Jailed, deprived of citizenship
and deported In 1919. He conferred
in Holland with the late former
Kaiser Wilhelm and in 1920 joined
the abortive Kapp government in
Germany. He was accused of fraud
in Czechoslovakia in 1921, acquitted
Of charges of treason and forgery in
Austria and expelled from that
country.
In 1922, he was arrested in the
United States for illegal entry, and
in the same year was reported held
in connection with the Fascist polit-
ical assa ssination of Giacomo Matte
otti, Italian Socialist leader. In 1925,
London newspapers blamed him for
Chinese disorders.
He became a Buddhist, and a
Buddhist priest in 1881, showing up
in Berlin the next year as "Chao
Kung" enlightenment OF the
World. He travelled through Cam
ada in 1884 as Abbott Chao Kung,"
being received by the Canadian Pre-
mier. Britain sent him back to Cam
ada later and he went to China.

Army Seeks Full Right
To Settle on Contracts,
Patterson Declares
BY the Associated Press.

Undersecretary of War Patterson
has told Congress that If the Con-
troller General has any doubt about
the right of the War Department to
negotiate an immediate and full set
tlement with war contractor when
his contract is terminated Congress
should specifically authorize it.
Mr.. Patterson put his views into
letters Yesterday to Chairman Muir
ray of Senate subcommittee study
ing the question and to Chairman
May of the House Military Affairs
Committee. Accompanying the let
ter was draft of bill by the War
Department embodying it's recon-
mendations for settling the dispute
over contract termination settle
ments.
Involved in the matter is the ne
gotiated settlement by the War and
Navy Departments and the Maritime
Commission with contractors for
amounts due them when contracts
are terminated suddenly because of
war developments.
Mr.. Patterson said Controller
General Lindsay c. Warren init
mated that the practical needs of
the contractor will be met by pro-
visional partial payments. with the
final settlement to be made by au-
dited formula"
The War Department" Mr.. Pat
terson asserted, does not agree with
this view In the first place. pro-
visional payments do not provide the
contractor the certainty Of final
negotiated settlement and leave him
in doubt as to the subsequent
charges which may be made against
him. Furthermore, even II a con-
tractor received a substantial par
tial payment, the unpaid balance,
particularly in the case of small,
over -eXtended companies which
have expanded to meet war produc
ton schedules, would frequently ex-
ceed the entire working capital of
the corporation Only prompt
and final settlement on termination
will suffice"

Senator Chandler criticized the
failure Of the British to launch an
offensive in Burma.
"A British campaign from India
should have been launched long ago,
in my opinion" he said. ITO put
1t mildly, the British haven't shown
any enthusiasm for strong China.
Maybe they are worried about get
ting back into Hong Kong If China
gets strong"
Apparently referring to Thurs
days criticism by committee mem
bers that the British had stepped
in to raise the British nag over is
lands captured by Americans he
said:
"As soon as the trouble is over.
we move out and somebody else
moves In"

of his plea to the Senate.
Summarized, his viewpoint was

was that Gelmany could be ringed

0PA Price Controls
Are Attacked Anew
Al House Hearinq
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The administrations price con-
troll program drew new attacks to-
day from members OF Congress and
farm spokesman.
Chairman Steagall of the House
Banking Committee accused the
Office of Price Administration OF
violating the act he pushed through
creating that agency. He said OPA
ignored specific direction that
ceilings be set high enough for pro-
ducers to make a reasonable profit.
On the other hand. the National
Grange turned thumbs down on
food subsidies and fatty rejected
what it described as an administra-
ton request that the farm organ
ization withdraw its opposition and
Join in supporting the Government S
subsidy program.
President Sent Letter.
Albert S. Goss, national master
of the Grange, said in letter to
President Roosevelt that War Food
Administrator Marvin Jones at a
recent conference had asked farm
organization Notwithstanding Mr..
Goss and President Edward A..
ONeal of the American Farm Bu-
reau Federation-to support the
subsidy plan
Under a 1914 food program now
being drafted by Mr. Jones, the Gov
ernment would use subsidies to pro-
vide farmers with larger returns to
meet the increased production costs,
without raising consumer food prices,
To enable it to carry out this pro-
gram, the administration has asked
that the life of the Commodity
Credit Corp. - the Government
farm price supporting agency-be
extended and that it be given an
additional s5Oo,000,000, some of
which would be used for subsidies.
Mr.. Goss in his letter said, "as I
have said to you personally, we will
do everything we can to aid in get
ting out of the trouble we are in
provided whatever is done is based
on sound economic principles. We

nation in history which has tried
to prevent imitation by price ceilings
rather than by closing the imitation
airy gap has failed, and we are fail
Ing at an appalling rate"
Steagall Hits Subsidies.
Mr.. Steagall whose committee Is
holding hearings on the CCC legisla-
ton, also took a shot at subsidies.
The chairman, in hot exchange
with Richard K. Gilbert, OPAs chief
economist, declared that Congress
had lost control of the price situ-
alton because administrators had
taken liberties far from the intent
and will of the lawmakers.
Mr.. Gilbert argued that the dam
ger in raising price ceiling on a
specific commodity lies in the likeli-
hood that it may force an increase
in the prices of other commodities
and a break in the hold eline'
program.
But Mr.. Steagall, holding copy
of the Price Control Act, cited
clause specifying that the OPA, in
order to obtain production, must
figure in increased costs of labor
and allow a reasonable profit" be-
fore fixing its price ceilings.
Mr.. Gilbert declared that I'VE do
not have single ceiling that does
not allow a fairly generous cushion
for costs and a profit margin"-a
contention which was challenged
promptly by several committee
members from agricultural States.
