Britain S Parliament
Reconvenes, but New
Austerity Plans Wait
BY the Associated Press

LONDON. Oct. 18.-Parliament
returned to work today after Its
summer recess and was told it will,
learn Monday how much more
Britons must tighten their belts
to meet their economic crisis.
Deputy Prime Minister Herbert
Morrison told the House of Com
mons a statement on the financial
crisis will be made Monday by
Prime Minister AttIee. He was
replying to question by Anthony
Eden. deputy house leader of Win
ston Churchill's Conservative op-
position.
Dollar Plans Discussed.
Mr.. Attlee and his cabinet went
over the governments dollar-sav-
ing plans this morning and an
other cabinet session is scheduled
Thursday.
Some sources indicated there
would be new review Of proposed
slashes in expenditures. The chief
economies had been expected in
trimming administrative expenses
slowing down public works build
ing and reducing imports which
cost dollars.
The legislative houses have
ben in recess since late July ex-
cept for the September emer-
gency session at which effects
of the devaluation of the pound
were debated.
MIR. Attlee and his closest cabi-
net advisers during the past
week havesb sbeen drafting a three
part emergency economic pro-
gram. With it the Laborites
hope to make devaluation an ef-
fective measure to stave of ma
tional bankruptcy.
Economies Projected.
The new government program
probably will be one chiefly of
economies-in dollar imports and
in government spending on ad-
ministration building projects.
The new plan likely will mean
harder times for Britain. Mr..
Morrison already has warned that
the program will be unpleasant" I"
But he said it would be preferable
to drifting into economic chaos
and unemployment"
The government resorted to de-
valuation to boost British exports
to dollar countries. But devalua-
ton also meant that essential raw
material imports from dollar
countries-cotton oil and food
cost more.
Some commodity prices already
have risen and more price in
creases are feared.

u. ). Vessel Saves II.
In Stormy Weather
After Schooner Burns
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

SEATTLE, Oct. ia Govern
ment vessel carried out the dra-
matte rescue Of II seamen in
stormy weather last night after
they abandoned their flaming
wooden schooner. The ship later
sank.
The officers and men were
picked up in the North Pacific by
the Fish and Wildlife Service YES
sci Black Douglas just as one of
their two lifeboats was awash
and sinking. The schooner, the
Salina Cruz, caught fire yester-
day.
The Douglas reported today all
of the sailors had recovered from
their ordeal, and she was pro-
ceeding to her home port of San
Francisco. Arrival there was ex-
|pected Thursday.
The rescue a few hours after
nightfall 140 miles west of Grays
Harbor. Wash, was carried out
in heavy seas kicked up by a 25-
knot wind. Coast Guard search
planes that had been circling
overhead throughout the day
guided the Douglas to the scene.
Ten of the men in one of the
open lifeboats had managed to
keep afioat without difficulty.
They were the first ones spotted
by the Douglas. An hour later.
after the second boat had sent up
direction flares, the seven re-
manning men were pulled from
their laundering craft.
The schooner sent out her first
SOS early yesterday that she was
afire in the engine room. The
flames quickly spread to the gen.
eral cargo in the holds and lumber
above decks. forcing the men to
abandon ship.
The Salina Cruz met disaster
one day out of Vancouver, British
Columbia, bound for Honolulu
with a general cargo. Though Of
Panamanian registry, she was
owned by the Seven Seas Trading
& Shipping Co. of Los Angeles and
Anthony c. Stralla.
Stralla, also known as Tony
Cornero, formerly operated two
gambling ships of the Southern
California coast.

The Navy suspended Worth from
his job as aide to the Under
secretary of the Navy. Later. he
resigned.
The House committee complete
ly absolved Mr.. Symington and
everybody else connected with the
bomber program of any corrup-
ton.
Position Carefully Considered.
Mr.. Symington made these
points:
l. The position taken by Air
Force critics has, been advanced
at all levels of defense planning
and has mot been accepted as the
basis of national military policy"
after decisions "thoughtfully ar
rived at by the persons who have
the responsibility Of decision"
2. There was no reason for any
one to have been caught unawares
by the Air Force decision of last
January to order additional B-36s
because confidence in the plane
had been shown when the Air
Force decided "as far back as
June "a. 1948, to continue the
original contract in full"
8. There is no basis for the
charge that the Air Force is un-
balanced, because it Is planning
to equip only eight per cent Of It's
air groups with B-36s and Is
spending in this fiscal year only
1853 per cent of its air craft pro-
curement money for B-36s.
Doesn't Expect Easy War.
4. The Air Force believes IN
this bomber" and has indorse-
ment from Arthur Henderson,
British Secretary of State for
Air. who has called it "undoubt-
edly the best bomber in the
world at the moment" with per-
formancs bordering on the fan
tastic."
S. The Air Force does not be-
lieve in a quick, easy and pain
less war" but insists that because
more convenient land bases might
not be available, 'for the rela-
lively little money required, the
ability to fight from our owl,
shores at the start of any war
should not be looked on with con-
tempt"
Despite the complete discredit-
ing of the first anonymous docu-
ment Mr.. Symington said the new
strategic bombing method" PAM
phlet has received substantial edi-
torial attention.
He offered the committee an
analysis which indicated the PAM
phlet had made careful changes
in the report Of the stragetic
bombing survey in order to repre-
sent it as discounting the effects
of strategic bombing in World
War II.

The analysis included report
of a meeting of the Aviation Com

The Arlington Democratic Exec
utive Committee has ruled that
any one who is a member Of
county groups which sponsored
candidates opposing the party's
nominees last year may not seek
election to local Office or to men,
bership on the committee this fall.

zens' Committee for School I'm
proNement or the Better Govern
ment League must resign if he

or for the County Board.
The new ruling affects several
members of the present committee.
Oath Amended.
The ruling was adopted, it was
learned today. when the committee
voted to amend the oath which
must be taken by candidates. The
amendment consists of an addi-
tional sentence in the oath which
states:
" am not member Of
any other party, organization or
group which nominated or spon-
sored a candidate in opposition to
nominees of the Democratic Party
in the last preceding election"
Last fall. both the Citizens
Committee and the Better Gov
ernment League went on record
as favoring the election to the
County Board of Lee Potter, Re-
publican who ran as an independ-
ent in opposition to Democratic
nominee Alfred E. Frisbee.
Committee Election Planned.
The change in the oath was
voted after the committee decided
to hold an election for the COM
mittee at the time of the August 2
Democratic primary. The commit
tee is reorganized every two years
either by election, mass meeting
or convention. According to DEM
ocratic sources the choice OF
method is up to the local COM
