Th dollar value of department slot galea acrosa th country was shown In s federal reserv board report for the first half of 1M to have fallen 4 per cent under th first half of last year.

Ameri cana saved more than they had they weren't fully prepared lo serve but that we'd hav a "snack." that was by far th largest understate ment I've yet to hear.

Denfeld disputed this, saying the United 8tates navy and other armed force "are ahead of other countries In the world. However, we have not yet obtained the complete answer to this new type ot sub marine." The testimony indicated that navy officers and senators were referring to the Jong-range, modern sub marines developed by the Germans at th end of the last war.
