BREWSTER FLAYS
V By DANIEL DC LUCE
ALGIERS. Aug. 12 (!') U. 8.
Senator Ralph O. Brewster (R
Mo.), asserted today that the
American North African econom
ic board Is contracting for largo
amounts of local wheat at prices
AO to 60 cents a bushel higher
than In the United States.
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.
Enemy Sub Rammed, Sunk
Dy Daring Patrol Chaser
SEATTLE, Aug, 12 OP) A
navy man whoso patrol chuscr
literally rode a Jap submarine's
back told of his adventure hero
yesterduy and ascribed Its suc
cess to the fuct ho hud made up
his mind long In advunco to ram
any enemy submarine ho caught
on tho surface even though his
ship's chances of survival In that
event were only S0-S0, .
Ha Is Lieut. W. Gordon Cor
nell, Stutcn Islund, N. Y., com
mander of tho putrol chuscr 487,
which tho nuvy department In
Washington disclosed hud ram
med and sunk a Japanese sub
marine In tho Pacific.
Cornell Heady
When tho 487's depth churgc
blew the sub to tho surface,
Lieut. Cornell was ready with
his order.
'There It Is . Ram the ,"
he told his helmsman,
And so they rammed tho sub
marine, ho told tho Post-Intel-llgcnce,
and minutes later, after
tho rest of a fog-bound convoy
had been treated to a "blow by
blow" description of the buttle
by the 487's radio operator, came
tho "flash": "We huvo Just sunk
a Japanese submarine , , . 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. Cor
nell recnlvcd the Navy Cross for
his during, his executive officer
was awarded tho Silver Star as
woro two enlisted men for their
work In kcoplng the boat afloat.
Depth Charges
The 487 discovered the sub
through her sounders and let go
flvo depth charges, Cornell re
lated. "Tho submarine seemed to ba
lifted to the surface by the
charges," ho said,
Tho first blow tore both perl
seopes, antenna and tho net cut
ter. "Tho second time we rammed
It Just forward of the conning
tower," the lieutenant said,
"climbing right up on Its back
and hanging there nearly a min
ute. 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.

lished In various states.
The committee chulrmnn,
Rop. Harold D. Cooley (D-N.C.)
asserted In an Interview thai
these farms, established by tho
FSA, were modeled after similar
furms in Russia and that they
are costing taxpayers millions of
dollars.
The purpose of the commit
tee's Investigation, ho said, Is to
recommend legislation for tho
elimination of objcctional FSA
projects.
Through Incorporation of pri
vate farm projects by employes
of the FSA and other expedients,
Cooley charged In an interview

been doing Indirectly what It hud
no authority to do directly."
"I doubt that it even had au
thority to do it Indirectly." he
added.
Although, he said, the FSA

To Return to Mines
SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 12
(VP) Approximately 3S0 soldiers
packed their duffle bags today
in the first step toward ex
changing rifles for miner's
picks.

leased from army duty to go
back to work In copper, zinc, ,
molybydenum and other mines I
producing metals the United
States needs for war.
"has accomplished a lot of good,"
Cooley declared "it has spent too
much money in an effort to re
habilitate a few people."
"Someone had a dream back
in 1833 and designed a rain
bow," he asserted. "We are try
ing to find its end, but it's so
complicated I doubt if we ever
will."
The "rainbow," said Cooley,
was created when Rexford G.
Tugwcll, now governor of Puerto
Rico, was farm security admin
istrator. Formed as a relief pro
gram, the FSA to date has spent
more than a billion dollars, he
stated.
