The public must be taxed more, spend less, save faster and submit to increased regulation, he added in a long-promised pronouncement r4 him 4 1 A before the advertising club of Boston. Morgenthau proposed these two general methods of combatting inflation: By curbing demand for commodities, by higher taxes, regulation of installment credit, and increased savings. 2. By controlling prices," specifically by releasing for consumption surpluses of all commodities particularly farm products "as fast as necessary to prevent unreasonable price rises." As a complementary step, the treasury chief renewed his plea for reduction of "non-essential" federal expenditures and for economy in state and local governments as well. Praising President Roosevelt's recent veto of a bill to freeze government stocks of cotton and Wheat, Morgenthau declared: "We ought not to withhold cot-ton surpluses, or any other sur- Sluses, from the market in times ke these."

The interior secretary, wno is also defense petroleum adminis trator, was not present" at the meeting ana for that reason officials said the board did not pass on ultimate construction of the line. Instead, the board refused to grant priorities for steel plates for the line.

Ickes is out of the city on vacation. There has been a shortage of steel plates which are used in ship construction, and Admiral Emory S. Land, chairman of the maritime' commission, recently opposed the oil line proposal, in testifying be fore a senate committee investigating the petroleum situation. He contended that steel for ships should take preference in the defense program to steel for an oil line. Orvill Warner, 21, held as officers probe steel theft Orvill D.

He was among the two dozen of the ship's personnel who landed here Tuesday afternoon with a vividly detailed story of the attack last Friday and with a variety of opinion as to whether the fatal blow was struck by an angling bomb or an aerial torpedo. Hiteneath Waterline. The crew generally agreed that the ship was struck below the wa terline by the closets thing to a "near miss" and that it sank quickly. They told of spending 12 hours In row boats and then 24 hours on a rocky Red sea island before a British warship rescued them. The other 12 of the crew were picked up by another British ship.

Tail, ruddy Robert Cartwnght Nantucket Island, Mass, the helmsman said: It was 11:30 o'clock Friday night when it happened. The moon was full and we were steaming peacefully northward. Suddenly I heard a very heavy explosion to starboard and the ship rocked like we had struck 4 reef. At the same time I heard an airplane engine roar and saw a brown streak flash overhead. "The plane must have cut off its engines, dived and then turned them on again as the bombs were dropped." Ralph S.

Pratt of New York City, the tall, grey haired first mate, said the Seafarer was sunk by a bomb or aerial torpedo which hit beneath the waterline. She sank within 20 minutes, Pratt said.

The first thing the captain did was to signal a passing ship to search for the third boat.

Twenty-four survivors and two boats remained at the island until 4 p. m. the next day when the British navy rescued them. From the statements of the va rious members of the crew, the question of whether the piot of the plane was able to distinguish tne faeaiarer as an American ves sel appeared to be a moot point There was brilliant moonlight but it was doubtful that the attacker could make out the Stars and Stripes painted on the vessel's sides.

According to Redditt, the cost of cod liver oil and difficulty in obtaining it have given quite a problem to poultrymen wishing to Include the oil in their birds' ration.
