TANKER (Continued From Page One) Every licensed officer on the ship was either injured or lost. The tanker was not armed and no attempt was made by the submarine crew to board the craft or take prisoners.

According to the stories told by survivors, an officer on the bridge sighted the first torpedo when it broke water about 150 yards from the A desperate effort was avoid the torpedo but it crashed into the vessel about amidship. No one saw the second torpedo but a second terrific explosion was heard within a couple of minutes after the first crash. The tanker apparently gave way in the center, with the' how listing to starboard and the stern to port. Only one lifeboat managed to get away as the ship caught fire immediately and the flames enveloped the entire deck and rapidly spread into the oil slick on the water. The seven uninjured survivors were in the lifeboat and they had several narrow escapes before getting clear of the ship.

The propeller was still turning 'as the tanker settled and it set up a suction that threatened to pull the boat to destruction despite the efforts of the occupants. After a struggle of minutes which seemed like hours, the lifeboat got clear and a short time later it picked up the radio operator. Once clear of the tanker, the boat crew faced another peril In the burning oil slick which appeared to be closing in on them. Some of the survivors reported hearing cries from within the sheet of flame on the water but they could not take the. boat in for fear it would catch fire.

They also re- i ported seeing a light, presumably on the submarine, off in the distance, but they could not see anything of her superstructure. After about an hour in the boat, they were all clear of the fire and rigged their sail. Some three hours later, they sighted a vessel which picked them up but the ship apparently was wary and it was two hours after this before they were taken aboard. After occupants of the boat were taken aboard, the vessel picked up the captain who was swimming with only small board to help hold him up, He had been in the water six hours and suffered an arm injury and Later they picked up the second and third mates, who were hanging to pieces of wreckage. The fourth mate, who was also on the same board, had died and slipped under the water a short time before.

As far as could be learned, no other survivors were picked up.

WALL STREET WALL STREET NEW YORK, Jan. 19 -There were enough buyers to keep the stock market fairly well balanced today but genearl recovery still was in 1 "the wishful-thinking stage.

Some bidding was attributed to the thought the market had a good chance to snap out of its lengthy side-wise shift if the international picture brightened. On the other hand, taxes remained as a brake on sentiment and cloudy Oriental war developments, coupled with the growing menace of enemy submarine attacks on the Atlantic coast, served to restrain bullish forces.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 19 (Pr Chairman Brown (D-Mich.) said a joint Senate-House conference committee appeared today to be farther awAy from agreement than before after a two-hour study of farm amendments to the Administration's price control bill.

"Both sides seem to be stiffening in reporters. their resistance," Brown told Senator Danaher (R- Conn.) another conferee, said there appeared to be no agreement in sight. Chief provision in contention is Senate approved amendment linking farm prices to industrial wages.

Front May be Anywhere Of his lump-sum appropriation proposal, the governor declared: "This is a war in which our front lines are any place on earth where men call for weapons to fight the enemy, and food sustain them while they fight. "This is a war of civilian production of guns and food. The farmer.in the field and the worker at the lathe are giving battle. The granaries factories, the transportation and communication lines that serve them, are primarily military objects for the bombers the saboteurs.

"Bombing of war plants, public utilities, bridges, transportation systems or hospitals," Van Wagon-, er continued, "would require immediate steps to repair and alleviate the damage. It may be neccessary to provide special fire fight-, ing equipment to be used anywhere in the state where needed. "For these reasons it is difficult to forecast accurately the amount that will be needed for the many services the state, will be called upon to render. am, therefore, asking that this appropriation be made and the disbursement left to the direction of the administrative board." Van Wagoner told newsmen a Jump sum appropriation in no sense could be considered as a "blank since the budget office has compiled a list of the things for which the money probably will be spent. He declared he would have to asl: for 000 to be "on the safe side" If he were to be confined to an itemized budget law.

First All-Out War "This." his text declared, "is the first all-out war in histroy. We are only beginning to understand what such a war means. But we know now that only supreme and universal sacrifice will insure ultimate "The day-to-day life of the civilian population transferred to a war production economy will be changed as completely as that of the soldier in the armed forces. The women of Michigan will move Into the fields and factories to relieve the shortage of farm and industrial labor." The message said "it is possibel Van Wagoner would propose other legislation in subsequent messages, including matters extraneous to the war effort, since "it seems sensible to introduce them during this period, if we can reach mutal agreement upon them, rather than to spread them over several extraordinary sessions." He has indicated he will open the session to consideration of liberalizing the unemployment compensation law, but adhered to previous statements he would not mention it in the original message. "As we take up the grave tasks of this war session," he said, "I know that all of us are deeply aware of the privilege, and the responsibility, it holds for all of us.

"The treacherous manner in which our enemies launched this war has united America more completely than we were ever before united at the start of any war." PACIFIC PACIFIC (Continued- From Page One) Similarly in the Indies. While there was considerable enemy air activity in sections of the Indies, MacArthur was keeping valuable enemy aircraft occupied elsewhere. and Japanese troops that might have been exploiting the footholds gained on Celebes and Borneo were busy in the jungles and mountainsides of the Batan Peninsula. And the necessity of supporting the Philippines operations with naval units left so many less vessels avallable to hunt for submarines which have been increasingly active in Asiatic waters.

The Navy Department announced Saturday night that one American "pig-boat" had sent three Japanese merchantment to the bottom "off Tokyo," thus carrying sea war into the front yard of the son of heaven, 5,200 miles from San Francisco. There are about 175,000 taxing units in the U. S. I May Appoint Single Auto Czar WASHINGTON, 19 (P) War Production Director Donald M. Nelson probably will appoint a single to direct the conversion of the automobile Industry into war production.

Sources close to the new war chief confirmed that while his plans were not yet crystalized it would be "a pretty good guess," that pointment of such an overlord for the automobile industry--which has been offered five billion dollars in war contracts in addition to 000 already held-was in the offing. The auto chief, it was indicated, probably would replace entirely the seven-member labor-industry subcommittee, set up this month by the Office of Production Management. The sub-committee has few powers beyond those of fact-finding advising on the crucial problems of retooling, conversion of automobile plants and the pooling of the war production facilities of the entire industry in a single war effort. Who the new czar would be was not indicated. Some speculation centered on the name of Ernest Kenzler, long-time assoclate of Henry Ford and president of the Universal Credit Corporation, an automobile financing agency, who recently became head of the automotive branch of OPM.

Other informed persons intimated, however, that the selection probably would fall to some more widely known figure in the industry, on the theory that Kanzler lacked the "big I name" presumed necessary for handling the enormous job. Presumably the new chief would have the assistance of an advisory staff, but it was not known whether the present labor-industry committee, composed of three members each from management and labor and headed by Cyrus Ching, rubber manufacturer, as OPM-appointed chairman, would be retained to function in capacity. It was regarded as more likely that a new staff of advisors would be chosen. This probably would be picked present members of the automotive industry advisory committee and the labor. industry advisory committee.

Such a move would wipe completely off the slate the sub-committee, which was formed by OPM after ference a confused and prolonged of automobile company ofhere. Failure of that conference ficials and labor union exccutives to produce a clear-cut agency to guide the wholesale conversion of the industry and its absorption' new war orders was the capital as the principal reason for the overturn by President Roosevelt of the entire top defense command and the selection of Nelson as war production director. With such importance attached to the automobile industry's version, officials said the appoint- conment of the automobile czar doubtedly stood high on Nelson's time table for streamlining the war production organization. CRIPPLED SHIP REACHES PORT AFTER CRASH NEW YORK, Jan. 19 crippled Grace Line (P) freighter, -The Santa Elisa, which was in collision with the United Fruit steamship, San Jose Saturday night about 15 miles off Atlantic City, N.

19 (AP) holler-I'm stil lalive." And he was alive: Durable 56- year-old Albert Golich, a woodchopper who had lain -hurt and helpless pinned beneath a tree, for four days and four nights of freezing weather. "Finally I saw this tree on the ground and there was Albert lying beside It," Adamo Angellotto, his employer, related. "I thought he was dead. I started to vell at him, I was so excited." Then, in voice worn to a husky whisper by painful days of shouting for "Don't hollerstill allve." Broken was Golich's left arm, pinioned by a tree he had falled. A swinging branch nudged him into the path of the crashing trunk, and broke several of his ribs.

"I never gave up," declared Golich, who still was conscious when found, in an isolated woodlot. "Remarkable," Dr. Joseph DeLuca, an attending physician, exclaimed concerning the woodman's condition when he was brought to Rhode Island hospital yesterday.
