The torpedo «iT»iring of the 5452ton Brazilian steamer, Cayru off the New Jersey coast > inday night also was revealed here tonight by survivors, who told how members of the crew of the obviously German submarine inquired if all had escaped from the ship before firing a second torpedo which Heir the vessel apart. > Fifty-nine persons aye missing. Captain Horger Olsen and 15 crew members of the Gultrade brought to New York by cescue vessels said , the torpedoing took place about three and one-half miles east of Barnegat Lighthouse, which is about 60 miles south of New York City. Olsen said 18 men of the crew were missing, and other survivors said they believed they were in two lifeboats which capsized as they were being launched. • Olsen said the ship caught fire after the torpedoing, but heavy waves washing over the wreck extinguished the flames quickly. Four passengers and 22 crew * members who had spent 16 hours in a lifeboat which was in constant peril of being capsized by the stormy Atlantic arrived here from the Cayru. Six other passengers and 53 crew members who got away in three other lifeboats still - were unaccounted for. Since the sinking occurred only two days age, there was some hope they might yet be found, but the conditions at sea caused fear that their boats might not have been able to stay afloat. The Cayru, owned by the Lloyd Brasileiro Line, was a sister ship of the Buarque which was sunk in mid-February off the yirginia coast. The Oayru was the Fourth Brazilian steamer to be sunk by Axis submarines in little less than a month. This was the second announcement today of a ship's being torpedoed off the New Jersey Coast in a 26-hour period. The Cayru represented the 77th vessel reported attacked in North American waters.

SAME OLD STORY" Melbourne, March 10.—Allied and Dutch troops, facing hundreds of thousands of Japanese without air support, still are fighting in oaftorn and central Java, although an aonistice has been declared in the Bandoeng area to save the civilian population from "massacre," it was revealed today. • The Dutch never were able to make a "MacArthur Defense" in prepared positions around Bandoeng, temporary capital and military headquarters southeast of Batavia, because continuous Japanese aerial bombing* demoralized the. defenders, refugees from Java said. They said that battalion after battalion of Dutch' troops broke under the strain—shocked and demoralised by the continuous bombing and in despair over never seeing a friendly airplane in the sky. The story was told by Dutch officers who arrived from Java, which they left on Sunday.

The Mexican ambassador was introduced tonight by Josephus Daniels of Raleigh, former Ambassador to Mexico from the United States. "The seriousness of the emergency, tht intensity «rf the battle, are such that fellow Americans," he said, "should wast* no time lookb* for elements of differentiation and discord but should xathsar lay si i ass an >ur affinities, our common ideals; oar i, nnllnsnisl dream of peace and Pool Ow Wealth.

The receet expropriation of the foreign (.ration leadens in the House pointed Monday to a sober warning- by President Roosevelt against inflation and profiteering as one food reason why the farm bloc should agree to abandon farm price restrictions in an agricultural appropriation bill. The President, in broadcasting a .message Monday night on the ninth aimtasraary of the National Farm program, made no direcV reference to .current effort of farm state legislators to bar the sale of government held farm surpluses at subparity prices. "But if all prices keep on going up," be emphasized, "we shall have inflat&km of a very dangerous kibd —we sHall have such a steep rise in prices and the cost tit living that the entire nation will be hurt "Hurt would greatly increase the cost of the war and the national debt, hamper the drive for victory ami inevitably plunge everyone— city workers and farmers alikfr— into ruinous deflation later on." Mr. Roosevelt has been outspoken in his objections to the surphia-atparity restriction demanded by the farm bloc. He' declared recently that such a concession would raise the nation's eating bill by m billion dollars a year. His leader on the House floor, Rep. McCormack of Massachusetts, announced he would try to ettminate the restriction .tomorrow, when debate on the bill will be resumed. The fight against inflation, the chief executive declared in his broadcast, is as vital as any fought with bullets and bombs. "It calls," he said, "for cooperation and restraint mi the part of evei-y group. "It calls for mutual good will and a willingness to believe in the other fellow's good faith. "It calls for unflagging vigilance and effective action by the government to prevent profiteering and unfair returns, alike for services and for goods."

City are Jews. There are more Jews living in New York City today than have eved lived in any one city before. : ....Jr ?• It is from this great center of the Jews that Rev. E. S. Davideon, son of a Synagogue Ruler, and whose conversion runs like a modern parrell to the Apostle Paul, come* to spenk an the subject, "The Jewish Problem and It's Only Solution." He speaks from the Jewish viewpoint, from the background in which the Scripture was given. He will tell why the Jew is God's Chosen People. The purpose or object in God's choosing him.

He will give the Jewish attitude toward Jesus, where'they get it and why they hold it. By hearing him it will clear up many things in the Bible regarding the Jews as well as their present condition and make the Bible more understandable.
