SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 8 (U. P.) —German Consul Fritz Wiedemann emerged victorious today in the action that caused him to resign from the San Francisco Olympic Club. He was “very glad,” he said, to accept the “vote of confidence” tendered him by the club’s board of directors and indicated his resignation could be considered nullified and the incident closed. The directors said they would continue to seek the identity of the individual who sent Capt. Wiedemann a forged telegram demanding his resignation. The directors made amends for the embarrassing incident by unanimously refusing to consider Capt. Wiedemann's resignation. They apologized publicly and directly to the consul Capt. Wiedemann, onetime superior officer and now confidant to Adolf Hitler, was unavailable to the press.

Athenia Sunk by Torpedo After Signal,” U. S. Naval Attache in London Reports
WASHINGTON, Sept. 8 (U. P)). —Assistant Naval Attache Hitch-
cock in London today reported through Ambassador Joseph P. Kennedy that the S. S. Athenia carrying American refugees was sunk by a torpedo. 1 The text of the report was released without comment becauss comment was unnecessary, Mr. Roosevelt said. Mr. Hitchcock reported that the torpedo struck the Athenia on the port side, slightly abaft midships, and that the explosion trapped passengers in the dining room, causing them to be drowned below decks. The report did not establish the nationality of the submarine which fired the torpedo. Evidence given by the ship's quartermaster was that the submarine conning tower came up 800 yards from the ship, Mr. Hitchcock said. “A gun or explosive signal was fired from the conning tower platform,” the report stated. “If a gun, it was of small caliber, according to one of the quarter-
master crew who had served for years as a gun layer in the Royal Navy. “As the submarine was on the weather side of the Athenia a distinct smell of cordite (a high explosive) was recognized. “No witness heard a shell in the
GEORGE BIEHL RITES SET FOR TOMORROW
Funeral services for George G. Biehl, who died Wednesday night at City Hospital, will be held at 2 p. m. tomorrow at the Wald Funeral Home. Burial will be at Crown Hill.
Mr. Biehl, who was 57, had lived here 35 years. He lived at 47 S. Denny St. and for 17 years operated the Hoosier Upholstering Co. at that address. He was a member of the Olive Branch Christian Church. Survivors are his wife, Ethel M.; two daughters, Betty Lou and Mrs. Thelma Watson; three sons, John W., Donald E. and Gene A, and a brother, Harry T.
air,” the report continued. “No witness heard a shell strike the ship, only one such discharge was seen. The flash was distinctly reported by three witnesses. . . . “No splash of the projectile was seen.” The report said that the come mander of the Athenia stated it occurred to him that the submarine might be trying to destroy the Athenia’s radio apparatus, but that any statement by him to this effect was in error because he had no evidence to that effect.

ation is that, while consumers are worrying about a food shortage and playing into the hands of profiteers, the Government is worrying about the exact opposite—the large surplus. : Wallace Appeals to Farmers
The Government is afraid that farmers will be fooled by the tem-
prices, or the other way around, is said to be one of those chicken-or-egg-first questions. But whatever the answer, it is agreed that the consumer can control the price by simply letting the demand fall back to normal.

For consumers who still think they must rush to fill their bins and pile sacks under the bed, here are the | latest official figures on the existing surplus: “This year’s wheat carryover is estimated at 254,000,000 bushels, in [comparison to 115000.000 bushels for (the five years from 1924 to 1928. “The present large corn carryover probably will make the total 1939-40 supply even larger than the 1938-3% supply of 2900000000 bushels . .
