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.

Annenberg, Philadelphia pub lisher, serving a three-year sen tence at Lewlsburg, Pa., federal prison after conviction in the largest individual income tax evasion case on record, will be paroled June 11 because of ill 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."

"Anyone walking on the streets who does not stop when called upon to do so will be shot immediately," BBC said. '"Pra gue radio says that further or ders are being drafted." Martial law was proclaimed in Prague after announcement of the attempted assassination. The Transocean Agency re ported that the attack was made at 1 p.m. today on the highroad from Prague to Berlin but within the limits of Greater Prague. .r NewFnaland - a- w. it i hsning vessel 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.
