Prof. Morgan Shelled On Trip To States
Charles Morgan, new professor in the School of Engineering and Architecture, is the most recent University faculty member to be a passenger on a boat shelled by a Nazi submarine.
Professor Morgan's encounter with the Axis came last fall on his return trip to the United States from South America
alter completing drawings for the Columbiano de Seguros, an insurance company, for Trujill Gomez and Martinez Cardenas, South American architects.
A Member of Crew
The raider fired three shots, none of which struck the boat. Two shells fell into the water about 400 feet from the boat, making excavations in the sea large enough to submerge two or three skyscrapers; Prof. Morgan says and the third sheet did not explode as far as the officers and the crew could tell.
The deck of the ship was sprayed with pieces of shrapnel, but no one was injured. The chase lasted one hour. After the attack, the raider could be seen a mile away, clearly enough to be identified.
One half day out of Barranquilla the San Pablo, a United Fruit company boat on which Professor Morgan had obtained passage on the condition that he be considered a member of the crew, was attacked by a Nazi submarine.
Go To Life Boats
As a precautionary measure against future attacks, the captain of the San Pablo ordered the crew to take life boats. In the attempt to get into a life boat, Professor Morgan was thrown overboard. Members of the crew, who later became fast friends of the architect, rescued him.
Future Buildings to Be Modern
"Uuncle Charley," as the genial professor prefers to be called, likes to etch, wood turn, and go boating. He enjoys reading poems by Emerson and Thoreau, as he feels the potes describe the true essence of architecture.
Professor Morgan believes the buildings of the future will be constructed along modern, but not modernistic lines. He distinguishes between the two by telling a story of a modernistic painter's explanation of his work to a friend.
Being the Chicago associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, the professor is a friend of the noted architect. Professor Morgan believes that because Mr. Wright plans every building to interpret his client's character, he is making one of the greatest contributions to the American way of life.
Mr. Morgan feels, however, that if and when Wright's work is against the principles of architecture, students and the general public should not become confused to the point of allowing the work to be harmful to the more general cause of balance construction, as taught by Louis H. Sullivan.

Fourth of Food Will Go Abroad
Washington, —(INS)— Secretary of Agriculture Wickard today told Congress that one-fourth of U. S. food production would be needed for the armed forces and lend-lease shipments next year as he accused the War Manpower Commission of "locking the barn after the horse was stolen" in failing to prevent a drain on farm workers.
Wickard, defending lend-lease food shipments before the House ways and means committee and declaring that Russia could not stay in the war without American food supplies, also disclosed that he was having a good sized argument with the army and War Production Board. Wickard expressed fears that because of WPB limitations on steel there would not be enough machinery available to plant this year's crops.
