'and soy beans up lto 2,

mission houses with northwest
ern connections, wheat futures
rallied to around yesterday's

ings. Local traders were noted
on the buying side In the recov
ery move which stimulated some
buying In the corn market,

Grain Alcohol
For Butadine
Washington, May ?7 (IP) The
war production board has de
cided definitely to allocate 200,
000,000 gallons of alcohol de
rived front grain in 1943 to the
production of butadine for syn
thetic rubber, a WPB spokesman
said today.
The program for conversion of
beverage distilleries calls for the
stoppage of 90 per cent of the
nation's output of beverage whis
keys and other hard liquors by
the end of this year, the spokes
man said. Several years' sup
ply of whiskey is now on hand.
The industrial alcohol pro
gram currently calls for the use
of 136,000,000 bushels of grain
in 1943. Present emphasis is on
corn, but a large increase in the
use of wheat for alcohol produc
tion Is being arranged," It was
announced.
As the new plan was being an
nounced at WPB, H. F. Wllke,
vice-president and production
manager of the Joseph B, Sea
gram distilleries told a senate
agriculture subcommittee that
conversion of all stills to the
production of high-proof alcohol
from grain would permit a pro
duction of 657,000,000 gallons
next year. '

health, the justice department
announced today.
This will cut five months off
the so-called "minimum term,"
since Annenberg, who is 65, was
scheduled for release November
11. The full term runs until July
21, 1943, and until that time he
will be under supervision of the
United States parole board.
Annenberg was denied a pa
role last July, when he became
eligible at the expiration of one-
third of his full term, and now
has served more than 22 months.
The department said in a press
release that the parole board
"was Influenced by the prison
er's physical condition," and
that Annenberg recently was
admitted to the prison hospital
suffering from low blood press
ure and heart trouble."

Sunk by U-Boat
Boston, May 27 (IP) The first
sinking of a New England fish
ing vessel since the war began
and the killing of one of her 21
man crew by shellfire from an
enemy submarine was describ
ed by survivors upon their ar
rival at an Atlantic port.
Captain Daniel J. Maher, 59,
who has been a fisherman since
he was 20, and his men were as
anxious to get back to sea as
they were contemptuous of the
submarine crew's marksman
ship. Eighteen of the 20 surviv
ors were from Greater Boston,
one from Lawrence, Mass., and
anuiner irom iNewiounaiana.
They estimated that 60 to 70
shells were fired, some at ex
tremely close range, but that on
ly about 30 struck the 220-ton
steam trawler. 1 . '
The attack occurred shortly
after noon. May 17as the traw
ler was steaming toward the
western banks, Captain Maher
related. '
: "The first shell went across
our bow," he said, "and the sec
ond struck the starboard bow,
above the waterline. Then: we
saw the submarine about a mile
away. I stopped the vessel and
we ' p u t a lifeboat overboard.
Three men; left on a life raft. A
fourth, 1 Chief Engineer Mack
Wallace was killed by a shell
while trying to reach the raft.
"Shells came at us as fast as
they, could fire," said Captain
Maher, who then told how, with
17 men in the lifeboat, they row
ed 85 miles in 29 hours to Sam
bro lightship, off Halifax, N.S.
The experience of the three
men on the raft Frans Bjork
lund, Edward Forrey and Theo
dore Tsatsaronts was even
more exciting. Both oars broke
and they were unable to pull
away from the scene even when
the submarine came within a
few yards of them to shell the
tough little trawler at point-
blank range.
