Striking her on the starboard bow quarter as she ished on Quero Bank. the great wave had roiled the Hazel B.. over a full 90 degrees. her crew said. until the tip of her mast dipped in the vrater.

One deckhand, William Hayes of Boston. suffered a broken arm when he was tossed across the forecastle. which was also deluaed with water.

Sprung by the tremendous Jolt. the Hazelfl; water tanks developed leaks, and by Thursday the dreamer was out of water. Since the crew coudrft get at the ice in the hold used for perserviniz her catch. they had to chop salt water ice off the decks to drink.

OTTAWA, Dec. l4—(Spccial)— Recent developments in Germany may have a far-reaching effect on Canadian agricultural exports, it was revealed at a press conference held here today by a group of 40 scientists just returned from the German Reich.

During thc war, the conference was told by Dr. W, H. Cook of the National Research Council that Germany had developed methods of making butter much more rap- idly than acccpted dairy practice on the North American continent. They have also been able to makc butter of good taste and nutritive values from synthetic oils and fats. This development, it is pointed out. may have a definite effect on Canada's butter industry of the future.

Another German scientific dis- covery revealed by the Canadian scientists was that at the Herman Goering Foundation a method had been found for making synthetic eBB-powder that in the opinion of many was superior to the egg- powder made from hens’ eggs. .In general. the scientists said, Germans are no more super-scien- tists than their military forces were supermen.

"British forces are engaged in fighting Indonesian extremists arm- ed with Japanese weapons and or- ganized by Japanese officers." Lord Halifax said. ‘ ome poeonle in this country are inclined blame us for what. is happening but what are the facts? We did not send our troops to Java. on our own initi- ative: Tihey went there to carry out work whlcih had been ass tied to them by thecombined chie s of staff. The decision was not British

but, Anglo-American." I He said British troops were not in Java t4) decide the country's political future-which was the res- ponslbility of the people of Indon- esia and the Netherlands.
