Maryland Crab Shortage
May Be Worse Next Year
BY the Associated Press.

by the ASSOCIATED Press.
BALTIMORE, July 12.-David H.
Wallace Of the Department of Tide
water Fisheries asserted yesterday
that the crab shortage in Maryland
may be even more serious next year
than this season, adding that the
Fish and Wildlife Service and Vir-
ginia already may have delayed too
long, in taking steps to protect egg
bearing female crabs.
Mr.. Wallace. the departments ad-
ministrative assistant, speaking at
the Maryland Sportsmen's Luncheon
Club here, said much OF the blame
for this seasons crab shortage in
Maryland markets must be attribut-
ed to the failure OF the Fish and
Wildlife Service to recommend
strong action by Virginia"
Stating that Virginia packers have
processed lat least 1000 900 sponge
crabs this season and probably twice
this amount" he declared that
when 1t is considered that all Of
these crabs would have had a
chance to hatch their eggs had Vir-
ginia prohibited their capture in the
spring, some idea can be gained of
the great drain on the already
badly depleted stock Of egg-bearing
females"

Hull Tiehtens Passport
REGULATION for Sailors

Secretary of State Hull, after con-
ferences with military authorities
and the War Shipping Administra-
ton. today frightened passport reg
ulations to provide that American
seamen must have legal evidence OF
their citizenship before sailing for
foreign countries.
The regulation provides that after
August IS no American seamen may
leave this country without . pass
port or evidence that he has applied
for one within the preceding six
months. After November Is no mer-
chant sailor may leave American
ports without q valid passport.
The order. the State Department
explained, will place in full effect
the provisions Of the passport-con-
troll regulations issued by Mr.. Hull
on November IS. lo4l, under which
seamen were required to have pass
ports.
The State Department explained
that the regulations had not been
enforced earlier because the tre-
mendous expansion of the Ameri-
can merchant marine In wartime
made 1t impracticable.
The announcement. said the Sec
retary's order is in harmony with
the views Of the appropriate mill
tary authorities and the War Ship
ping Administration"

BY MAURICE DESJARDINS,
Canadian preks War ent


WITH THE CANADIANS IN
CAEN, July IL tP.-Canadian troops
heard today the story OF how 500
men, women and children Of Caen
lived In 4 damp grotto nearly 100
feet underground for three agonizins
weeks, praying ceaselessly for liber-
alton.
Today I made the perilous descent
into this ancient quarry which had
been abandoned for fve centuries
and found most Of the shivering
refugees still there. They came
mostly from the vorst-bombed parts
of the city, and the majority were
homeless.
To reach the subterranean haven,
you have to climb down three creak-
ing ladders Joined together In a
crude, makeshift way. When you
reach the bottom you hnd yourself
in vast cathedral-like grotto, where
groups of refugees sit around candles
and carbide lamps.
The older people are huddled in
blankets, but the children walk
about. and as stepped of the ladder
they surged forward in = gleeful,
shrieking mob. The presence Of
some one in Allied uniform caused q
great stir in the huge and gloomy
retreat.

Taft Sees Congress
Killing Monetary Plan
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Taft, Republican, Of Ohio
predicted last night that Congress
will not approve world financial
stabilization plan he attributed to
Secretary of the Treasury Morgen-
thau. calling for huge" interna-
tional monetary fund and a United
Nations bank.
The Ohioan, chairman of the Re-
publican Senate Steering Committee
and a member of the Senate Bank
ing Committee, complained that
nearly all the real assets. Of such
a monetary fund would come from
this country, but would be dispensed
by board controlled by nations
with currencies weaker than our
own.
1T will not be long before all our
assets are gone and the fund is
made up of weak or WORTH
less currencies," he declared in a
statement criticizing the trend of
at the Breton Woods
IN. H. International Monetary
Conference.
The whole of the elaborate ma
chinery," he said, seems to be de-
signed to cover up the fact that our
money is, In effect, to be loaned
away by board In which we have
only minority interest.
The same thing is true Of the
United Nations bank, and the total
cost to this country of the two
plans Is likely to be more than six
billion dollars, with no assurance of
success, and little chance that we
will ever recover any part OF our
contribution.
Senator Taft suggested instead
that the United States make. or
join in making, direct loans to for
eign nations for reconstruction dur
ing the emergency period" He said
he also believed this country should
join permanent consulting body
to study international exchange
and recommend ma
tional action.
