Tex., according to announcement by the eighth naval district. “Thai loads me to believe tba' someone tipped them off an to our Mailing dale. They knew the name of the xhip, came after us and got us.” Rowe was one of five injured survivors taken to Galveston hospital. H<- was still on the bridge, shouting rescue orders, when the ship went down. Third mate John T. t'halmers. 25. of Cheltenham. Pa., seized him when he popped up out of the water and hauled him aboard a life raft. The ship carrying a crew of 60. Including a four-man gun crew, was hit by two torpedoes almost simultaneously at 10:41 P m. Most of the missing were believed killed by implosions, but some were sucked under with the ship. "I saw the first torpedo heading straight amidship* about 75 feet away." Chalmers said. "There was no chance to give an alarm and I couldn't see the sub. The torpedo struck with a blast, shaking the ship like a leaf. The shock knock ed me off my feet and when I struggled up I had fuel oil all over my hand*. "Just then the second torpedo struck. It knocked me along the wheel bouse where the skipper was. I asked him If lie's all right and he said "no" and kept getting tho ship's papers.

Oppose Individual Increases In Pay President Voices Opposition Today Washington. May 22 — fl’Vi President Roosevelt today voiced! opposition to the Idea of Individual companies granting pay rises out of line with national wage stabilization policies. Mr. Roosevelt said everything should be done to prevent unwarranted Increases by Individual companies In order to keep wages all over the country In line with the general government policy as enunciated In his recent cost of living message to congress. In this message the president proposed that wages be stabilized through the national war labor board. It was pointed out to him at hi« press conference that most cases involving wage rises for American workers are not settled by the board. A case In point was cited by a reporter who said a California aircraft plant has Indicated Ils willingness to Increase the pay of its employes without referring the matter to the war labor board. Such rises, Mr. Roosevelt said, would conflict with the overall program of holding down the Inflationary tendencies of the American wartime economy "We cannot have one company which happens to be able to go ahead and raise wages In one plain i and thus make workers in the other plants unhappy because they did not receive a corresponding height In pay." he said - Q. — —• 'World steel production In 1140; was estimated at 159.600,b00 net I tons, a new high record.
