The senator, a member of the Truman committee, who li here with four other U. S. senators on a tour of American war theaters ovorseas, says ho was "startled to discover a contract by which the Amrrlcun government will be paying $2.10 a bushel for North African wheat for unknown fu ture purposes." Brewster said local French authorities had raised wheat priced twice In the last three monllu), "and don't seem partlcu- Oily anxious for us to buy up :cks." . "It appears to ma It would be better If the North African eco nomic board's wheat contract were not consummated." Brewster levelled' a general criticism of "lack of coordina tion and unification" against American civil agencies func tioning In North Africa, includ Ing the lend-lease administration, the board of economic warfare and the foreign relief and rehab ilitation organization.

Wo will blow our whistles at intervals." The patrol chaser was consid erably stuvc-ln by tho encounter but finally mado port here un der her own power. Lieut.

Our ship seemed to stick and pivot on top of the sub marine end felt as though she would break In two. But tho Impact of the ram apparently rolled tho submarine over and allowed tho ship to slide away." After the 487 was clear, Cor nell said, tho sub went down stern first In 2200 fathoms of water.
