NEW YORK, May 19.-Herbert

OF Presidents to take up fishing,
concludes that occupants OF the
White House can find privacy only
while praying or fishing.

Asks 5treamlining Of
RFC for Peacetime
BY the As.eeiated Pres.

The reconstruction Finance Corp.
asked Congress today to streamline
the laws which it operates and al
low it to keep on functioning much
as 1t always has done in peacetime.
John D. Goodloe, RFC chairman,
urged the House Banking Commit
tee to act before next June 30. The
lending agency will go out Of busi-
ness then unless Congress contin-
ues it.
Mr.. Goodloe recommended end
ing most of the RIGS wartime pow
ers, some which he said should be
kept for a while included those
covering production of synthetic
rubber, operation of the only tin
smelter in the Western hemisphere,
certain defense plants and "lim-
tied number Of strategic and criti-
cal materials programs"
The RFC chairman proposed also
that the agency be allowed to keep
on making loans on more lenient
terms to help victims of floods and
other disasters.
Mr. Goodloe was the first witness
as the committee began study of
Government credit and financing
operations which Chairman VOL
colt said may run for months.
He brought along a copy of
proposed bill to streaming RFC
laws. He said it is intended to
place the corporations activities on
such a peacetime basis as is call
eulated to aid in financing agricul-
ture, commerce and industry, there
by assisting in promoting a maxi
mum OF employment ard produc-
ton"
The powers which have been re-
tained," he said, ARE, in my opinion,
not only desirable but necessary to
aid in preserving and strengthening
the general economic stability of
the country"
Mr.. Goodloe said that, exclusive
of wartime operations in which
large losses were inevitable" the
RFC has shown a net profit of about
$500, 600 900 on It's peacetime tasks.

Clay Orders Full Story.
Given 10 Germans on
How U. s. Feeds Them.
By the Assoeioted Press

BERLIN, May 19.-Gen. Lucius
D. Clay pushed a press-radio cam
paign today to "giye the German
people the full story about what
the United States is doing to help
feed them" and also to combat Com
munist propaganda which has been
making capital of food shortages
in the western zones.
I'VE Americans here know what
we have been doing to help the
Germans" the American military
governor said, but unfortunately
many Germans don't have these
facts. Therefore our renewed efforts
must aim to show them in graphic
form the extent of this help, where
it's coming from and how it is to
be paid for with exports abroad of
German products.
Gen. Clay said the food shortage
in the British-American zones would
remain severe for several weeks
but pointed out that the schedule
of shipments from America had
brought a marked improvement.
Gen. Clay added that under the
urging of military government sau-
thorities German food collections
from Bayarian farmers had i'm
proved a great deal.
The American commander, who
has been dissatisfied for some time
with the way information about
food imports from the United States
has been presented, said he had or
dered his staff to undertake a full
scale information campaign by press
and radio to present up-to-the-
minute facts about food aid to the
Germans in graphic and readable
form
The Soviet controlled German
papers. in publicizing the situation,
have charged that the United States
was taking huge reparations out OF
Germany and delivering food only
to countries which had dollars to
pay for it. ,.
Reports have been trickling out
of the Soviet zone OF Germany,
.hnweyer. which indicate that the.
Russians have been having food

helping us descend into the great
depths of the Atlantic Ocean.
Sunlight Is Absorbed.
Sunlight, source of all life, is alb
sorbed by the upper layers Of the
sea. 1t is only near the surface,
therefore, that we will find vegeta-
tion, mostly seaweed. A multitude
of animal life lives on these marine
plants and is, itself, the food of
bigger fish. These are the victims of
still bigger enemies, and so on.
But many of these plants and
animals, living or dead, before they
are devoured sink down into the sea
and, eaten there, maintain other
lives. Each depth layer of the ocean
seems to have its own fauna, feed
ing on the refuse which falls from
the layer above.
So we shall expect to see animal
life during our dive.
Although the light of day does not
penetrate deep into the sea, it would
be wrong to think that there is any
zone of eternal darkness. The fish
themselves-for hunting or identi-
f1cation-emit light, sometimes very
strong and sometimes multicolored.
When such fish are caught In nets
dropped excessively deep, their
lights can sometimes be seen at
night as they are brought nearer
the surface. But soon, killed by the

lack of pressure, these submarine
searchlights dim and die out.
Only by going down ourselves, by
extending DR.. Beebe's findings, can
we fully observe this floating layer
world.
But there is better yet. Our craft
will go right to the bottom of the
ocean. We know almost nothing of
what we may find there.
We are not just interested in
fauna, however. There are thousands
of other matters for scientific inves-
tigation. 1t is enough to comment
here on the geologist aspect. All
rock, all stone which is not primitive
or volcanic has been worn into the
sea. What interest there will be in
moving slowly along the ocean bed
observing the sediment!
But why speculate, when soon we
will observe what is actually there.
The population of New Zealand,
