MORRC CASTLE USE DECLINED BY NAVY Vessel Now Offered for Sale to Lowest Bidder by War Department. ‘The Navy today declined the steam- ship Morro Castle for use as a naval auxiliary and the War Department accordingly proposes to offer her for sale. The Board of Inspection and Survey of the Navy Department, headed by Rear Admiral George C. Day, has inspected the hulk, which was refloated of the New Jersey coast by Army Engineers and towed to New York harbor, but found her worthless for naval purposes. Admiral Day and his associates made a careful inspection of the craft, but today advised Secretary Swanson that she is not availble for the service. Originally, it was planned to use the Morro Castle, after reconditioning, if found suitable, as an aircraft tender. It has been erroneously reported, offi- cials recalled today, that she was slated to be an aircraft carrier. The de- struction wrought to the vessel and the storms of the Winter that battered her at Asbury Park, N. J., made her unsuitable for reconditioning by the Navy, as it was found this would be Department has an- nounced through the United States Engineer Office of the second district in New York City that sealed bids will be received until 11 a.m. a week from today for the sale of the Morro Castle.

By the Associated Press. Bishop James Cannon, jr., en route from Florida to California, in a state- ment today predicted ratification of the Sheppard prohibition amendment by 1940 or 1942. Speaking for the Legislative Com- mittee of the Anti-Saloon League, he said: “Fifteen months after the repeal of the eighteenth amendment, the coun- try now has opportunity to face and to pass judgment upon the traffic re- sults which have followed that repeal. Unprecedented increases in drunken- ness of men and women, boys and girls, appalling increases in deaths and maiming from drunken drivers and drunken pedestrians, and the no- torious, shameful debauchery of girls and women, such facts, undeniably, proclaim the absolute failure of repeal, the tremendous value of prohibition before repeal, and call in thunder tones for return to national prohibition. “The recent convention of the Anti- Saloon League at St. Petersburg, Fla., was one of the greatest in recent years; great in attendance, great in person- nel, great in its determination to fol- low the signboard which points “back to prohibition.” “Both at that convention and at largely attended meetings in all sec- tions of the country hearty, unquali- fied indorsement was given to the Capper bill, to prohibit the adver- tising of intoxicating liquors, either by radio, or by newspapers, or other publications having an interstate cir- culation, and also to the Sheppard resolution, proposing a Constitutional amendment to grant to Congress the power to prhibit the liquor traffic.” U. 8.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 18.—High Frence| quarters today regarded the devalua- tion of the Belgian belga as a prob- | ability despite the fact that France | has granted limited assistance to Bel- | gium in an effort to keep the beiga pegged to the gold standard. France frankly told the Belgians that nothing much could be done to | ald Belgium commercially, and ex-| perts here agreed that whether Bel- | gium would have to devaluate her | money depended entirely on the Bel- glan economic situation. | Premier Georges Theunis and Paul | Hymans, foreign minister of Belgium, | conferred here yesterday with Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin, Foreign Min- ister Pierre Laval, Finance Minister Louis Germain-Martin and Commerce Minister Paul Marchandeau, but took back only promises of limited meas- ures of aid. These were admitted to be inade- quate to solve the Belgian problem which is in desperate need of imme- diate outlets for export.
