NORMANDIE BLAZING, MANY FEARED DEAD HOUSE VOTES ACTOR, DANCER BAN IN 0. C. D. Mrs. Roosevelt's Unit Is Target In Fund Bill

Hundred Million Measure Is Sent To Senate

By GOULD LINCOLN. Taking a sharp rap at the use

by the Office of Civilian Defense of Government funds to employ dancers, movie actors and others to promote shows or other public entertainment, the House this afternoon amended the O. C. D

$100,000,000 appropriation bill to prohibit the employment of such talent. The vote was on the Ford

amendment. After taking this action, the House

passed the deficiency bill on a voice vote

The original plan was to have the dancers and actors operate un-

der the O. C D Division of Volun- teer Participation, headed by Mrs. Franklin D Roosevelt.

The House also voted to retain the Wigglesworth amendment, de-

leting from the bill $80,000 which the Treasure intended to pay for the Walt Disney moving picture in which Donald Duck demonstrates his method of paying income tax.

The Wigglesworth amendment also eliminated S85.000 for increased personnel in the Treasury Department for the division of personnel and for the legislative counsel's office.

Telegrams were sent to all members of the House by the Demo-

cratic leadership over the week end urging them to be present to vote on the deficiency bill and the amendments. The supposed purpose was to upset the Ford and Wiggles- worth amendments before passing the bill. It became clear today, however, that such action was not

possible. Employment of Picture Actor Mel-

vyn Douglas and Dancer Mavris Chaney in the Office of Civilian Defense again roused debate to a

white heat in the House before it

acted on the bill. Representative Taber. Republican,

of New York denouncing particularly the activities of the volunteer participation division of the O. C.

D which is headed by Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, declared:

"We are down to a point wheie up must say whether we are going all out for national defense, or going to continue boondoggling. The American people must look this situ-

ation in the face. "There was a fellow once who

fiddled while Rome burned. "It's about time we got to a point

where we do only those things which

will lead to the defeat of Hitler. "There is an outfit in the O. C D

which is doing a lot of things beyond the pale of the law. which provides only for an agency which will

protect the civilian population against bombing and other attacks of the enemy. Why should we have extra legal activities over there?'

c annon Answers 1 ox. Representative Cannon. Demo-

ernt. of Missouri, chairman of the

Appropriations Committee, after listening to Representative Cox. Democrat, of Georgia denounce what was being done by the O. C. D. and declare that steps were being taken which might eventually turn the country over to the Reds, called on the members of the House to take a "practical point of view" in dealing with this appropriation bill.

"There is nothing in this bill which would have the effect of doing what the gentleman from Georgia 1

has suggested." said Mr. Cannon. “I

love the gentleman as a brother, but we differ widely on this bill. I am

dumbfounded at what he has said "The emphasis in the House has

been placed on the employment of

one or two employes of the Office of Civilian Defense. Nothing is said about the thousands of other em-

ployes who are doing splendid and essential work. I say. too. that the charges made against these two em-

ployes are not well founded or sus-

tained. "We have proposed in this bill that

the working hours of all employes of the Government be increased to j 4 hours a week. That would mean

100.000 more working days, when :

only the employes of the Govern-1 ment in the District of Columbia are

considered. No one has risen to discuss that important recommenda- i tion.

Lowering Morale of People. "Do you think that the members

who have talked so much are really interested in this bill? We have got to sell these billions of dollars' worth of bonds. Yet what the mem-

bers have been saying is creating suspicion and tendering to lower the morale of the people."

Mr. Cannon, taking up the case I of Mr. Douglas, whose name was

on the O. C. D. rolls at a salary of $3,000 a year, said that Mr. Douglas was a leading movie actor and such i actors often made more in a week than the salary attributed to him. a salary which, he said. Mr. Douglas had denied he was getting. He also said that motion pictures were j necessary, that without them there j would be "a lot of suicides.”

rope if Hitler takes this country-," ;

House Hears Pleas To Repeal Pensions For Congressmen

Chamber Upbraided For Not Being on Alert When Bill Went Through A series of demands were made

on the House floor today for re-

peal of the "pensions-for-Con- gressmen" provision in the new

Ramspeck Civil Service Retire- ment Act.

nounced he intends to place a dis-

charge petition on the Speaker's desk designed to force action on his bill to prevent members of Congress and other elected officials and political office holders from applying for Government pensions.

tained in section 3 < B> of the act, which reads "The President shall have power in his discretion to exclude from the operation of this act any officer or employe or group of officers or employes in the service whose tenure of office or employment is intermittent or of uncertain duration."

1,700 Additional Beds Needed in City Area, Taft Tells Hospitals

Temporary Concrete Structures Proposed On Donated Land A total of 1.700 additional hos-

pital beds is needed for the Met- ropolitan Area. Charles P. Taft of the Federal Security Agency today told representatives of the District's public and private hos-

pitals at a meeting called by Commissioner Mason to consider necessary hospital expansion.

Mr. Taft warned, however, that the pending Lnnham bill from which some funds will be available for Dis- trict hospital facilities would probably not provide funds for more than 700 beds for the District alone.

Commissioner Mason requested the private hospitals to form a special committee to decide at which

hospitals the additional beds could pest be built. The plan contemplates construction of two-story concrete temporary structures on land to be donated bv the hospitals to the Fed- eral Government.

For the surrounding territory Mr. Taft, said at least 50 and perhaps 100 beds should be added to facilities in Alexandria, 150 beds for Ar-

lington County, 150 for Prince

Georges County, which is now planning a private 50-bed hospital, and 100 additional beds in Montgomery County, preferably in Bethesda.

Two hundred and twenty-five additional beds for Gallinger and 400 at Glenn Dale Sanatorium were Mr. Taft's recommendations on District public facilities.

President Requests 22 Billions To Supply Needs of Army

Billion and Half Asked for Merchantmen; $26,495,265,474 Navy Bill Signed

(Earlier Story on Page A-l.) By the Associated Press.

President Roosevelt asked Congress today for emergency

appropriations totaling S22.888.901,900 for various branches of the Army shortly after he had signed a $26,495,265,474 appropriation for the American Navy.

At the same time, he requested an' appropriation of $1,502,000,000 for construction of vessels by the Mari- time Commission and contract au-

thoritv for an additional $2,350.- 000.000.

Mr. Roosevelt submitted to Con- gress letters from Budget Director Harold D. Smith proposing the new

expenditures. The President noted that he concurred with Mr. Smith's observations.

Largest of the At my Items was

$13,252,200,000 for ordnance service and supplies." Neither this nor any other item carried any detailed ex-

planation. Mr. Smith said the purpose was "to provide additional re-

quirements for the prosecution of the war."

Other Army items included $3 011.512.000 for the Office of the Sec- retary of War in "expediting production." $3,391,166,900 for the Quartermaster Corps. including Army subsistence, supplies, clothing and equippage, transportation, horses and pack animals; $1,349.- 000.000 for the Signal Corps. $167.- 440.000 for the Air Corps. $171,178.- 000 for the Medical Department, $1,226,300,000 for the Engineers Corps. $288,336,000 for the Chemical Warfare Service, and $31,769,000 for seacoast defenses.

Mr. Smith said the Maritime Com- mission request was made “to pro-

vide for the construction of additional vessels, including facilities therefor, and Ure production of equipment and material under the Maritime Commission's ship con-

struction program." The huge Navy appropriation

measure signed by the President

provided for both cash and contract authorizations. It provided also for adding approximately 25.000 planes to the Navy's sky force and enlarging the fleet for waging war in two oceans at once.

Laura Ingalls Quoted By Witnesses as

Admirer of Hitler Twice Asserted Her Desire for 'New Order' To Come to U. S.

(Earlier Story on Page A-l.) Laura Ingalls' contention that

her intrigue with high Nazi diplomats in this country was

merely in the interest of coun-

terespionage was disputed this afternoon by the first two witnesses called by the Government.

The witnesses. Dr. I. Daniel

Shorell of New York, a plastic surgeon, and Dudley Steele. Bur- bank Calif, i airport manager, said that in conversations Miss Ingalls had indicated her full sympathy; with the Nazi cause and said she was preparing for the day when Hitler would bring his new order to

this country. The witnesses were called after

opening statements to the jury, selected this morning, by the prosecutor. Special Assistant to the At-

torney General M. Neil Andrews, and Defense Council James Reilly.

Mr. Andrews said the Government would prove that Miss Ingalls ac-

cepted monev from Nazi diplomats to spread Hitler's gospel in this country. Mr. Reilly admitted his client had accepted the money and consorted with the Nazis, but claimed she was acting in the interests of the United States as a

counter-espionage agent. Dr. Shorell testified that he oper-

Big Liner Begins To Capsize as

Water Pours in Last Rites Given 40 Men; Smoke Pali Visible for Miles

By ?he AsNocia’fd Press.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9 —A raging fire broke out this afternoon in the huge former French liner Normandie, tied up at a Hudson River pier, and two hours later a naval officer expressed fear she would capsize because of the amount of water being poured into her. A heavy toll of life among workmen on the vessel was feared.

The officer, who did not give his name, asked police and firemen to cut holes in her sides to allow' the water to escape. He said the ship, third largest merchant vessel in the world, was

listing at a 25-degree angle. Early reports that 200 of the

2.500 or 3,000 workmen aboard the ship had been trapped below decks proved unfounded, a Navy official said, but nevertheless it was feared casualties would be heavy.

Father William McDonald of St. Paul's Roman Catholic Church said he gave last rites to at least 40 men and that five other priests were working with him inside the pier. Other injured were taken to several hospitals.

Welder's Torch Blamed. Fifteen workmen from the burn-

ing vessel arrived at Bellevue Hos- pital in a disaster unit bus. three of them so severely burned or overcome that they were carried in stretchers to the emergncy ward.

The 3d Naval District authorized publication of a statement by Ed- ward J. Sullivan, a carpenter, who said the fire started when a welder's torch ignited some inflammable material on the promenade deck about midships. Spreading rapidlv. the blaze crippled the ship's lighting system, making it difficult for men below to find their way off the ship.

At 5 p m. the fire still was burning fiercely.

Naval officers said there were 300 Coast Guardsmen. 400 sailors and 1.500 civilians on board when the fire started Most of them escaped.

Five alarms were sounded as the flames attacked the superstructure of the $60,000,000 liner and dozens of doctors and nurses were sped to the scene with catastrophe equipment.

By 4 pm. 1E. W. T.i. two hours after the fire started, the vessel was

completely enveloped in smoke, which, hindered fire-fighters working both from the waterfront and from fireboats.

Dozens of fire boats and tugs placed steady streams on the ship.

1'pper Deck Ablaze. The entire upper deck of the 83 .-

423-ton vessel, third largest merchant ship in the world, was ablaze. Flames rapidly raced through the length of the 1.209-foot superliner, eating at the gray-painted superstructure.

Eyewitnesses said. “It looks like the entire ship will go up

Four fireboats pulled into the slip near the liner and began spraying water on the flames Fire engines on the street also went to work, but the range of their hose lines was ineffective for the after end of the ship.

Tire promenade deck is directly below the boat deck and the Are spread quickly over both levels and began whipping down through lower decks into the inside of the ship.

Besides fireboats and police launches, police emergency squads and ambulances sped to the scene, augmented by members of the police bomb and sabotage squads.

The smoke was so heavy that It obscured the tops of buildings as far south as the garment district. 10 blocks away The blaze was visible across the Hudson River in Jersey.

Third Naval District headquarters at New York authorized publication of the story.

Shortly after the fire was reported a large groun of agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation was

dispatched to the scene to investigate the possibility of sabotage.

Mayor F. H La Guardia inter- rupted a broadcast after speaking only 5 minutes and sped from City Hail to the Hudson River pier.

John Riley, a Brooklyn driller, said he was in the hold with 200 other drillers when he smelled smoke and some yelled. “Let s get out of here.”

Riley said more than 3.000 workmen were aboard at the time.

British Battling Japs Man-to-Man As Singapore Invaders Advance; Batavia Is Raided for First Time

11 — — — -A-

Situation 'Well In Hand/ Says Gen. Bennett

By the Associated Press.

The Japanese fought their way Into the fortress isle of Singa- pore today on a 10-mile front, threatening to overrun the once- powerful British base, but after several hours of bloody fighting the situation was reported officially to be “well in hand."

That word came from Maj. Gen.

Henry Gordon Bennett, commander

of the Australian forces, in whose zone In the mangrove swamps and rubber plantations of the northwest-

ern shore the invaders first struck. “We have taken our stand on a

Strong line and are organizing an

attack which it is hoped will re-

cover as much as possible of the lost terrain,” Gen. Bennett said, thus

holding out but slim hope that the

Japanese could be readily dislodged. Man-to-Man Struggle.

The strong Japanese landing had

turned Singapore’s ordeal of shellfire and bombs in the past week of siege from the opposite shore of Johore Strait into a man-to-man. weapon- to-weapon struggle.

The Japanese declared their beach heads were so well consolidated that tanks already had been ferried across to bolster their shock troops. While this seemed quite possible, there was no confirmation from

Singapore. Likewise unconfirmed was a

roundabout report that Japanese parachutists had been dumped behind the forward defense positions and already had engaged a British detachment.

The parachutist story—via Tokio. the Oslo radio and Reuters—said also that the Japanese fleet was

ready for attack near Singapore “at

any moment.” In such a fight Singapore's mon-

ster guns—as heavy' as 18 inches— might well get In their first good licks for they were primarily designed to cover the sea approaches.

Japs Virtually Beleaguered. Under a hail of British artillery

fire which swept the shallow waters of Johore Strait, the Japanese force was virtually beleagured, unable to receive reinforcements at least un-

til nightfall. Before dark, the Aus- tralians hoped to cut the invaders to pieces.

This initial force gained its foothold under cover of a withering artillery and aerial bombardment throughout yesterday and all last night.

A London informant said the Jap- anese Invasion was launched across the Strait of Johore with the drive pivoting on Berih Inlet at a narrow

stretch of the strait. The tempo increased violently in

the night, and ragged rows of Jap- anese special landing boats began moving across the shell-churned straits in the light of a rising half moon.

Plunging into the mangrove swamps and rubber trees and dart- ing into tiny inlets which penetrate the shore, the Japanese succeeded in making good a foothold protected by machine gun nests hidden in a

tangle of logs and brush. Then only British shells plunged

Into the mud flats and beaches, as bayonet swinging Australians and hardy Indians plunged into the thick of a hand-to-hand fight.

Pushed back to this last bit of British soil in Malaya in a two- month war, the defenders were a

veritable suicide army, for they had little or no chance of escape

415 Jap Internees Reach Camp in North Dakota Bs the Associated Press.

BISMARCK. N. D.. Feb. 9.—Four hundred and fifteen Japanese enemy aliens arrived here today and were

whisked out to the Fort Lincoln internment camp a mile south of the city to join more than 400 German internees.

The special 13-coach train ar-

rived from the West Coast at dawn and the unloading of Japanese was not completed until about 9:30.

Although officials refused to comment. it was understood most, if not all of the internees, came from the California area. This washorne out by the fact that few had even

topcoats to wear.

Ringed by a cordon of Federal immigration patrolmen armed with sub-machine guns, the Japanese scrambled out of the coaches, 25 at a time, were put in guarded trucks and rushed out to the internment camp.

Lt. Franklin D. Roosevelt, jr„ will be operated on for appendicitis tomorrow morning, his mother disclosed at her press conference today.

Mrs. Roosevelt said her son had had several attacks of appendicitis at sea and decided to have the operation because there were no doctors on destroyers at the present time, although, she added, she un-

Mrs. Roosevelt, who plans to be in New York tomorrow and Wednesday to attend a civilian defense regional meeting, will be at Lt. Roosevelt's ►edside.

MacArthur Halts New Attacks; Several Jap Batteries Silenced.

Development of Further Enemy Offensive In Philippines Is Indicated in Communiques

By the Associated Press. Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur reported today his troops on Bataan

Peninsula, in the Philippines, repulsed new attacks by the Japanese while the Manila Bay fortifications silenced several enemy big-gun siege batteries on the Cavite shore.

I A War Department communique* said heavy infantry fighting had occurred at several points on the peninsula, with hostile dive bombers active overhead, but all attacks were

repulsed by the American-Filiplno defenders.

In the duel between the Corregi- dor string of fortifications at the entrance to Manila Bay and the hidden Japanese guns which have been bombarding the forts for several days, the fort's guns scored several direct hits on enemy batteries.

New Offensive Developing. Yesterday Gen. MacArthur had

reported: “Fighting is increasing in intensity

on our left.” This and today's communique in-

dicated the new Japanese offensive Was developing in the Philippines.

The enemy land batteries, firing methodically every four minutes, had thrown big shells for the second successive day at the island fortifications which command the harbor's mouth. Nevertheless, no serious damage to the forts was reported in yesterday's War Department communique, which covered developments to early today, Philip- pine time.

On the Bataan Peninsula. Gen MacArthur's report yesterday told of Japanese pressure on both the right and left flank of his line, ac-

companied by 24 hours of heavy aerial bombardment of the Amer-

ican-Fillpino positions.

The Japanese, yesterday’s com-

munique disclosed, gained some

ground in an infiltration thrust

against Gen. MacArchur's right, which is anchored on Manila Bay. They were thrown back, however, in a sharp counterattack.

Seek to Soften Up Defenders. The intensive aerial plastering of

the American lines evidently was

part of the softening up to pave the way for the hoped-for break- through.

In their methodical blasting at

the harbor forts, the Japanese apparently were relying on concealed batteries on the southern or Cavite side of the bay. It was believed here that the enemy was using 155- mi'limeter guns, which throw a

shell about 6'* inches in diameter and weighing more than 100 pounds.

The bombardment was concen-

trated on Corregidor's Port Mifls and on Forts Hughes and Prank, the smaller fortifications on nearby islands.

American Tanks Destroyed On Bataan, Japs Claim

TOKIO (Prom Japanese Broad- casts), Feb. 9 i/P>.—A large number of American tanks and supply de- pots on the Bataan peninsula have been destroyed in a mass Japanese raid, the newspaper Nichl Nichi re-

ported today. It added that 15 Amer- ican batteries had been silenced.

Vast Mine Fields Laid By Germans Seeking To Check Russians

Timoshenko's Forces Push Forward, However, in Donets Basin Drive

f Map on Page A-3.) By the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Feb. 9.—Desperately pressed German troops laid vast

mine fields in the Donets Basin

today in an attempt to halt the

onrushing Soviets, but the forces of Marshal Semeon Timoshenko surged forward over the snow-

drifted steppes. One mine field nearly 2 miles long

was discovered and Red sapers cut

five lanes through it. At another

point, the Russians said they ex-

tracted 2.600 anti-tank mines buried beneath the snow.

Despite these and other obstacles the Russians swept three more

Donets villages clear of the Nazis.

Eighteen other populated places were captured on the central front as the Reds pressed toward Smo-

lensk. Heavy artillery w^S said to

have destroyed 10 German planes on the ground near the front lines.

Rear Line Destruction.

While front-line news was scarce, dispatches told of rear line destruction by the Red Army from Sevasto-

pol to the northwestern sector beyond Kalinin.

Russian scouts slipped through heavy German lines at one point and blew up an anti-tank post killing 10 Germans

In the last four days. Sevastopol artillery and planes have smashed nine Nazi artillery batteries hurling shells into that besieged Crimean naval base.

On the southeastern front, the Russians said 20 members of the first Rumanian division had surrendered with their junior officers, complaining of treatment from the German command. The Russians

U. 5. Red Cross Food Sent to Bengasi Taken by Germans

Supplies Undistributed At Time Libyan Port Was Retaken by Nazis


CAIRO, Feb. 9.—Foodstuffs sent to Bengasi by the American Red Cross to relieve the civilian population of that Libyan port, fell Into the hands of the German Army when Bengasi was recaptured by Field Marshal Rommel’s forces last month.

The food, including 100 drums of dried milk and flour, had been turned over to the British administration for occupied territories a

week before the Germans reached

Bengasi, and the greater part of It had not been distributed when administration officials left the city as the Germans approached.

Another Red Cross food shipment was turned back at Tobruk in view of the German advance. American Red Cross officials had found great distress among Bengasi's 50,000 na-

tives. The biggest problem of thf Amer-

ican Red Cross in the Mediterranean area now is getting food and cloth

100-Billion Debt Limit To Be Proposed by George

Administration leaders In Congress plan to propose soon that the na-

tional debt limit be raised from the $65,000,000,000 fixed last year to $100,000,000,000.

Chairman George of the Senate Finance Committee indicated yesterday they had thought of asking first an increase to $85,000,000,000, but finally decided most members would “want to do it all at one jump.”

The debt stood at $60,193,956,101 as this week began. President Roosevelt's $59,027,992,300 war budget for the fiscal year beginning July 1 is calculated to push it to $110,- 421,000,000.

Intensified Raids Believed Prelude To Java Assault


BATAVIA, Netherlands Indies, Feb. 9. —Japanese planes made their first raid of the Pacific war on Batavia, capital of the Neth- erlands Indies, today in an in- tensifying series of air attacks believed here to be a prelude to %n attempt to invade Java, center of the Upited Nations’ re- sistance to the Japanese in the Southwest Pacific.

The raid, carried out by six to eight Japanese fighters, was directed mainly at Kemajoran and Tijililitan airdromes near Batavia, Aneta News Agency said. The attacks were limited to machine-gun- ning and no bombs were dropped. Streets in the capital and its suburbs also were strafed.

“Some damage" was done to army planes at Kemajoran and two passenger planes were damaged. A special communique said two civilians were seriously wounded and nine slightly hurt. At least one and possibly two of the raiders were shot down.

Meet Heavy Fire.

Japanese efforts to attack the harbor were turned back by heavy anti- aircraft fire.

Enemy activity also was reported over other parts of Java, Sumatra and Borneo.

The Indies high command said Japanese patrols were pushing south from the charred oil port of

Balikpapan on the east Borneo coast “apparently planning to reach

Bandjermassin,” Important trade center on the south shore of Borneo

facing Java.

Paletnbang Bombed Again. The port was said to be a prime

Japanese objective as the men of Nippon attempted to forge an arc around the vital citadel of Java in preparation for invasion.

Palembang. oil center in southeast Sumatra, was bombed again, but the communique said there were no Allied losses.

At least two and probably three enemy planes were shot down over

the great naval base of Soerabaja Saturday.

The attack on Batavia began during lunch time after two days of Japanese reconnaissance flights and a long series of alarms during previous days. The all-clear sounded an hour and a half later.

Remarkable Calmness. J. P. Bouwer. Aneta staff corre-

spondent, said he saw two columns of black smoke in the sky near the center of the city.

“The great calmness prevailing everywhere was remarkable.” he said, “and to a large extent it was

undoubtedly due to the fact that the raid had been expected for so

long that when it finally came It caused almost a feeling of relief.”

^Anti-aircraft batteries went into action immediately after Japanese planes were sighted and later Dutch fighters took to the air and engaged the attackers in dogfights.

Aneta said 51 persons were re-

ported killed and 54 injured in yesterday's raid on Soerabaja, chief naval base of the Indies. The largest number of casualties occurred when a direct hit wras scored on a street car under which a large num-

ber of natives had taken shelter. The raid was directed mainly

against the dockyards, but reports said the damage was negligible.

Curb on Clothing Firms To Bar Hoarding Planned By the Associated Press.

The War Production Board told the clothing Industry yesterday It was prepared to allocate supplies if necessary to prevent speculative hoarding of stocks by wholesalers, Jobbers or retailers in the. men’s, women's and children’s apparel trades.

R. R. Guthrie, W. P. B. textiles chief, said that while sales at retail and wholesale levels were showing marked increases Inventories in sofne instances were growing even more rapidly.

“We fear that small retailers and small manufacturers may be at a

competitive disadvantage in the fall selling season because of their relative inability to finance pre-season purchases,” Mr. Guthrie explained.

“The War Production Board is prepared to scrutinize and investigate cases in which the increase of stocks and commitments is out of proportion to the increase of sales. It is also prepared to take such administrative action as may be necessary to allocate the supply of any item.”

President Creates New Shipping Board, Signs Big Navy Bill

Powerful Commission To Control All U. S. Ocean Cargo Vessels

By BLAIR BOLLES. President Roosevelt today

struck a double blow for United Nations mastery of the seas —

signing the $26,495,265,474 Navy bill and establishing a War

Shipping Administration that will “control the operation, purchase, charter or requisition” of all American ocean-crossing car-

go vessels for the war's duration. Rear Admiral Emory S. Land, chief of the Maritime Commis-

sion, was chosen by the President to head the W. S. A. -The object of the executive order

setting up the shipping administration is to provide the most efficient possible use of cargo ships in con-

ducting the war.

From now on. all the ships available to the United Nations will be operated from a joint pool and ac-

cording to decisions reached k* the Joint Military Strategy Board and allied supply chiefs.

Agreement With Britain. The agency was established in line

with a recently announced agreement by the United States and Britain to create a Joint Shipping Board. The British will direct operations of vessels under their control and the United States will man-

age shipping under the American flag or under American domination.

The Navy 'appropriation, providing both cash and contract authorizations, contemplates adding approximately 25,000 airplanes to the Navy's force and enlarging the fleet for waging war m two oceans at once.

The legislation also makes available $8,000,000,000 for the construction of war vessels ranging from battleships to torpedo boats and allocates another $5,000,000,000 for naval guns and ammunition.

100,000 Planes Envisioned. The additional aircraft provided

In the bill raises to a total of 100.000 the number of Army and Navy planes for which Congress has ap- propriated funds in the last 19 months.

The measure also authorizes the President to lend or lease any of 1.799 small vessels, for which approximately $3,900,000,000 was ap- propriated, as well as any other naval equipment up to a total of $2,500,000,000.

The bill received final congressional approval Thursday.

Admiral Land will be principally responsible to Donald Nelson, War Production Board chairman. The executive order says:

"With respect to the overseas transportation of cargoes essential to the war production effort and the civilian economy, the administra-

Mrs. Roosevelt Wants to Meet Capitol Critics Face to Face

Says She Would Like to Tell Them the Truth Of Things They Are Talking About'

Mrs. Roosevelt wants to meet.i I face to face, the members of 1 Congress who have been criticiz- { ing her. so as to “tell them the truth about some of the things they are talking about.”

Refusing at a press conference to make any defense against criticism that has been aired on the House floor in the past few days, Mrs. Roosevelt said:

“I have been waiting to hear from those gentlemen because I assume

they will give me the courtesy of meeting with them and telling them the truth about some of the things they are talking about. They have offices and I have feet.”

She said she did not want to appear before a congressional committee. but before the individual Rep- resentatives whose names, she said, could be found in the newspapers. For the first time, Mrs. Roosevelt actuallv refused to answer particular questions instead of evading them

with a smile as she has done in the past.

Says Opinion Veers. When it was suggested that civil- 1

fan morale might be affected by the storm on Capitol Hill in connection with Office of Civilian Defense ac-

tivities, she said public opinion veered one way and another, and that it was necessary for the public to wait until it had the whole picture.

Asked about the appointment of Mavris Chaney, night club entertainer now occupying a $4.600-a- year job in the O. C. D. physical fitness division, Mrs. Roosevelt said Miss Chaney was not directly her appointee. She said she had suggested Miss Chaney's name, but that she had neither the power to hire and fire, nor does she recommend any official taking an employe against his will.

Miss Chaney, she said, was em-

ployed because she brought a plan for the ,type of thing she is now

Dirksen Urges Mall Be Made Vast Parking Lot for 25,000 Cars

Suggests Conversion Of Area From Third To Fourteenth Streets

1

Conversion of the central area

of the Mall from 3d to 14th streets into a vast public automobile parking lot during the war was urged today by Repre- sentative Dirksen, Republican, of Illinois.

He made the suggestion at a

meeting of the House District Com- mittee during consideration of a

bill he is sponsoring to give the Public Utilities Commission control of fees charged on parking lots and in commercial garages.

Representative Dirksen estimated that parking space could be provided in the Mall area for 25,000 vehicles.

Esthetes May Shrink. The Mall area. Mr. Dirksen said,

should be converted into parking space bounded by Fourteenth street on the west. Third street on the east, Jefferson drive on the north

and Madison drive on the south. “Those with an esthetic sense may

shrink from such a step." he declared. “I am as concerned as any one with the beauty of the city, but we are in a war and must make sacrifices. The tract could be re-

zoned afterwards, but during the emergency it should be used. Em-

Court Upholds Woman's Right To Change Mind While on Jury

The United States Court of Ap- peals today upheld the eternal right of a woman to change her mind.

The decision was handed down in the case of Preston Bruce vs. the Chestnut Farms-Chevy Chase Dairy. Mr. Bruce had brought suit in Mu- nicipal Court for $1,000 for injuries allegedly received in drinking milk.

When the Municipal Court jury came in the clerk of the court asked if they had agreed upon a

verdict. The jury responded “Yes.” Upon being asked what the verdict was. the jury foreman responded, "For the defendant (the dairy)”.

The clerk then asked "Is this your verdict, members of the jury, so say

you each and all?” They all nodded their heads.

The plaintiff’s attorney asked for a poll of the jury, and when the presiding judge began taking it he started out with one of the two women jurors.

“What is your verdict?” the judge asked.

“For the plaintiff (Mr. Bruce).” The judge' made certain that she

was not cotlfused as to which was

the plaintiff and which was the defendant. TTie juror, identified by the Court of Appeals only as Mrs. Sinrod. said that she had been for the plaintiff all along but, after

listening to the arguments of the other jurors, agreed to the verdict for the defendant in order not to tie up the jury.

The plaintiff's attorney then moved for a mistrial, but the court refused and continued with the poll. The next three jurors each said they found for the defendant. Then the judge came to the second woman on the panel.

"What is your verdict?" “For the plaintiff.” The judge asked her if she did

not mean the defendant. “No, for the plaintiff, and I would

like to say something to the court.” “This is not the time for that,”

answered the judge. The rest of the male jurors said

they were for the defendant. The court still rerused to grant the motion of the plaintiff's attorney for a mistrial.

The plaintiff appealed to the higher court, which today reversed the lower count's decision with this comment:

“There can be no question of the right of a juror, when poUed, to dissent from a verdict to which he has agreed in the jury room, and when this happens the Jury should either be discharged or returned to their room for further deliberation.”

Laura Ingalls Sought To Pave Hitler's Way In U. 5., Jury Told

Flyer's Trial Js Begun On Charge of Acting As Nazi Agent Laura Ingalls, woman flyer, was

in the pay of Germany and her mission was to prepare this coun-

try for Hitler’s ‘‘new order,” Spe- cial Assistant to the Attorney General M. Neil Andrews told a District Court jury here today.

The jury of 10 men and 2 women

was sworn in shortly after noon to try Miss Ingalls on charges of failing to register with the State De- partment as an agent of the Reich. Some difficulty was experienced in finding Jurors who did not admit prejudice or other disqualifying factors.

Mr. Andrews, in his opening statement to the jury, charged that Miss Ingalls “was an intense German sympathizer." and constituted herself “a missionary for the Nazi cause.”

Says She Got Nail Funds. "Not only was she an agent In that

sense, but she was constantly in touch with the German Embassy here and with German consulates elsewhere,” Mr. Andrews said. "She received money directly and indirectly from Baron Ulrich von Gie- nanth. second secretary of the Ger- man Embassy.”

Clandestine Contacts Charged. The grand jury charged in an

indictment that Miss Ingalls agreed to act "as a public relations coun-

sel, publicity agent, agent and representative for” the German government.

Baron Ulrich von Gienanth, second secretary of the German Em- bassy, worked with her, the indictment said, adding that Miss Ingalls received "compensation from and was under the direction of the government of the German Reich.”

The indictment went on to say that contact between the flyer and the embassy was maintained "clan- destinely, by means of intermedia- ries and otherwise, and in a manner

designed to conceal the true nature of her activities.” She was arrested December 17.

Was Anti-Interventionist. Mias Ingalls, who is 38. was a

prominent anti-interventionist leader before the war. In 1939 she flew over Washington dropping peace pamphlets addressed to Congress, declaring that "American women do not intend to have their men again sent to die on foreign soil.” In the last year she had given some

speeches under the auspices of the America First Committee.

A vaudeville dancer before entering aviation in the late 1920s, Miss

Ingalls once held the worften's trans- continental speed record and was the first aviatrlx to fly non-stop from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

Mr. Andrews said Miss Ingalls was

“malting speeches from one end of this country to another” and charged that "her whole effort was to pre-

Blocked Chaney New York Job, La Guardia Says

Move to Strip 0. C. D. Of Morale Work Grows in Congress

While a move to strip the Office of Civilian Defense of authority to direct morale-building activities developed in Congress, May- or La Guardia revealed in New York today that he had blocked the assignment of Mayris Cha- ney, Philadelphia dancer and friend of Mrs. Franklin D. Roose- velt, to the O. C. D. Morale Divi- sion in New York City last De- cember.

The Mayor, who also is O. C. D. director, told newspapermen it was "substantially correct" that he had failed to approve the assignment of Miss Chaney at a salary of *12.70 a day. He gave no reason.

Mr. La Guardia also revealed today that he will relinquish his post as national director of civilian defense some time this week.

The New York Mayor’s statement came as the House resumed debate on a *100.000,000 O. C. D. appropriation fund, which has aroused a storm of controversy over the posts given Miss Chaney and Melvyn Douglas.

Round lTp Democrats. Administration leaders, apparently

fearful of the potentialities of the opposition to O. C. D. “frills," worked overtime last night to round up all missing Democrats to combat the move to take morale-building from the organization.

Senator Taft. Republican, of Ohio, said there seemed little doubt that if the House failed to circumscribe the O. C. D. powers a strong effort would be made in the Senate to do so.

“I think the O. C. D ought to be limited in its activities to the promotion of purely defense preparations." Senator Taft told reporters. “I don't believe there is any crying need to build up the morale of the American people, but if there is, it ought to be handled by some other agency that doesn't have such a big primary job to do.” He suggested the Office of Facts and Figures, headed by Archibald MacLeish.

Mail Floods Congress. Representative Faddis. Democrat,

of Pennsylvania, said the Douglas- Chaney controversy inspired an unusual flood of mail to members of Congress over the week end. He predicted the opinions expressed might influence greatly the vote on

a motion by Representative Taber, Republican, of New York, to send the bill back to the Appropriations Committee for revision. Represen- tative Faddis favors the motion.

Mr. Douglas was both criticized and defended in the House just before it took up the O. C. D. appropriation.

It was a case of Ford versus Ford. Representative Leland Ford. Re-

publican, of California, criticized Mr. Douglas. Representative Thomas F. Ford. Democrat, of California, defended him.

"Melvyn Douglas, commenting on

my attack on him.” declared Mr. Leland Ford, said that I don't know my district, and the people in it, and that it was a dangerous thing for a member of Congress to do.

Says Douglas Opposed Him. Mr. Leland Ford said that Mr.

Douglas’ name originally was Hes- selberg.

“I know my district well enough to know who the subversive interests in it are. I know it well enough not to tie up with them, either as a supporter, directly or

indirectly, or as a fellow traveler. I know Douglas' record.

"My cp-mpaign was predicated on a fight against the subversive interests. Mr. Douglas and his group opposed me. The result was, I received 192.000 votes out of 199.000, beating my opponent by 185.000, which gave me the largest majority of any man in Congress. Does Mr. Douglas charge these 192.000 people with not knowing what was going on in that district?

Talks of Guard Apponitment. ‘‘These are not only my own criti-

cisms. but they come from the whole State of California. Evidence:

"In May. 1940. when his appointment as lieutenant colonel in the California National Guard was up, the Assembly of our State Legisla- ture, in their closing resolution, deplored and protested the commis- sioning of Douglas, as did an Army Intelligence officer at the Presidio in San Francisco. Assemblyman Gannon said. Douglas for years has been associated with radicals.’

“The chairman of the Americani- zation Committee of the American Legion states that Douglas refused to read the Declaration of Inde- pendence in a radio program, ‘America Marches On,’ because the Communist party was charged with being un-American and dangerous. They refused to change the program and an attache of the studio read the Declaration of Independ- ence. The American Legion refused to make any compromise and refused to cease to expose the Com- munist party.

“Draw your own conclusions about Douglas

Representative Thomas F. Ford said: “The attacks on Meivyn Douglas have shocked members of this House who know him to be a liberal and enlightened man, who is giving freely of his time and interest to the underprivileged.”

Was Congressional Targe! In the meanwhile Mr. Douglas,

who has been one of the main tar-

gets of congressional objections to O. C. D. personnel selections, asserted that he had been appointed to head the Arts Section on a “without-compensation” basis. When his appointment was made public last week an O C. D. official said Mr, Douglas would receive pay at th«

Army Warns Civilian Flyers in Arms Areas To Expect 'Incidents'

Plone That Was Fired On, Wounding Man, Flew Near Defense Plant

Wf *h» AuocUted Fret*.

OMAHA, Feb. 9.—Seventh Corps Area Army headquarters at Omaha

today described the shooting at a civilian plane near the Western Cartridge Co. plant at Alton, 111., yesterday as a "regrettable” Incident but said the plane committed an act “strictly In violation of a restricted area.”

"Such incidents are to be expected If civilians don't pay heed to such areas,” the statement said. “If civilians don't watch their step In such areas accidents like this will happen again.

“This country is at war and the public must realize it. Civilians must pay attention to the orders of a sentry. The sentries have orders to shoot and In this case the guards were merely carrying out their orders.

Seven Shots Hit Plane. “Notice of restricted areas is pub-

lished in the daily press. It is the duty of every one to familiarise himself with these restrictions.”

Delbert Richardson. Granite City flying instructor who was piloting the Plane, gave this account of the incident:

Delbert Henson and 15-year-old Beverly Ann Keith, taking their first plane ride, asked him to fly over the girls home at Alton. He refused because he feared It was

too close to the restricted area.

He then turned the plane at an altitude of 1.100 feet at a point he believed was 8 or 10 miles from the restricted zone.

As he banked, the first of seven shots hit the ship. One pierced Mr. Henson's hip and stomach. An- other penetrated the gasoline tank, forcing Mr. Richardson to switch to an emergency supply.

Flies Bark to Airport. Mr. Henson slumped again Miss

Keith groaning. Mr. Richardson, fearing another salvo, decided against an emergency landing despite his passenger's injuries and flew his crippled ship back to the airport.

Seven of the bullets struck the plane's under carriage, wings and fuselage. One of them pierced the pilot’s chair, only an inch from Mr. Richardson's body.

Arms Plant Says Guards Didn't Fire on Plane

GRANITE CITY, HI.. Feb. 9 —

Officials of the Western Cartridge Co. issued a statement today saying company guards did not fire the shots which struck a low-flying sightseeing airplane yesterday and seriously wounded Delbert Henson, one of the passengers.

The plane was flying near the restricted defense area at nearby Al- ton, 111., where the huge Western

Cartridge plants are located. The area is patrolled by both soldiers and uniformed civilian guards.

Lt. J. A. Vilhauer, in charge of a detachment of troops from the 63d Infantry at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., made an investigation of the shooting, but declined to comment. Army authorities at the barracks said merely that a report had been made to the 7th Corps Area headquarters at Omaha

Admiral Standley retired in 1937. but he had another recent mission for the Government as a member of the committee under Associate Supreme Court Justice Roberts, which investigated and fixed the blame for the success of Japan's surprise attack on Hawaii Decem- ber 7.

Pearl Harbor Defense Plan Found on Nazi, Trial Reveals By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Feb, 9—F. B. I, agents testified today in Federal Court that a letter detailing the defenses of Pearl Harbor, the Island of Oahu, and Puerto Rico was found in the effects of an alleged German secret agent killed early last year in a traffic accident.

The agents said that the alien was

Capt. Ulrich Von der Osten. The letter, introduced in evidence

at the trial of six men and a woman, noted that there were 150 naval units stationed in Pearl Harbor and "at least 50 ships in the harbor.” Of Pearl Harbor and Oahu defenses, the unidentified writer added:

"This will be of interest mostlv to our yellow allies. Are you interested?”

Mat* of United States highways and of China, purportedly found in

Von der Osten's effect*, also were

Introduced in court. Von der Osten, who used the

name Lopez, was killed in a taxicab accident in Times Square early in 1941. The Government charged he waa head of a spy ring which was taken over by Kurt Frederick Ludwig, one of the defendants.

Also introduced in evidence were a check-marked list of military books, including a "Coast Artillery Manual,” glass slide rules used in measuring distances on maps and a bottle of white pills.

Lucy Boehmler. 18-year-old blond high school student, testified last week that white pills were dissolved in water to make a secret ink used to transmit information abroad. She was Von der Osten's secretary and later Ludwig's.

Davies Asks Fuel Oil Shipments To East Instead of Gasoline B» the AMoeiued Prtu.

Ralph Davies, deputy oil co- ordinator, demanded today that the oil industry take immediate action to build up stocks ef Industrial fuel oil on the East Coast by converting to its transportation available facilities now used for gasoline and like products.

Mr. Davies said he had tele- graphed the heads of 15 oil com-

panien calling attention to the de- clining stock of fuel oil on the East Coast needed by war and other heavy industries.

"We consider it imperative.” the telegram read, "that all tankers and o: ner transportation facilities, scheduled to move gasoline and light products to the East Coast and suitab’B for conversion, should be immec lately transferred to fuel oil service--Gulf east coast—and kept in such service until East Coast fuel oil stocks again reach satisfactory levels. Mr. Davies called on each company "to act accordingly as to all movements under your control and at once.” He requested immediate telegraphic replies stating action taken by each company and

information as to the extent of relief that may be counted on to result from the action.

The deputy co-ordinator said his order to the companies was the result of a sharp drop in East coast stocks of fuel oils used by industry during the last two weeks, despite the tact that Gulf coast stocks art 1.645.000 barrels above last year's level. No figures were announced m to the imount of oil in reserve on the East coast.

Mr. Davies’ action followed the announcement of a voluntary program for civilian conservation of petroleum products Inaugurated by the Petroleum Industry War Coun- cil and announcement last week that the East coast situation might become more serious.

Last week the war. council announced that one of its committee* had reported that war conditions may restrict use of petroleum and its products and that defense demands are rapidly increasing, while there was a possibility that petroleum resources of the Nations allies may be lost to them through enemy action.

Normandie _i Continued From First Page.)

Hospital was mobilized immediately alter a call was received there and the emergency alarm—ringing of three seven's—sounded throughout the hospital. Shortly after the alarm sounded 25 doctors and 35 nurses were ready to go.

The Normandie, pride of the French merchant marine, was laid up at her Fiftieth street pier when war broke out on September 3, 1939.

She rusted and accumulated Hud:on River mud for months before the United States Government stepped In and took over the ship.

The Coast Guard boarded her last May 15 and placed a protective guard aboard to prevent sabotage. At that time her French crew was

allowed freedom of the ship. Or. December 12 Coast Guardsmen

removed the French crew and the Naw took over the ship with a State Department promise that the owners would be paid "a lair and adequate compensation.”

While workmen began converting her into Navy service warehousemen removed more than $2,000,000 worth of art objects.

Navy officials estimated that removal of the objects would take 2.40J van loads and would cost *125.000. More than 10.000 bottles of fine lquors and wines were removed and stored.

Was Completed in 1935. The Normandie was completed in

1935 at St. Nazaire in France’s attempt to build the world's largest, finest and fastest ship.

rrhe English came along with the monster Queen Mary and later the Qi een Elizabeth to rival the French claims.

The Normandie haul a top speed of about 33 knots and a 117-foot beam. Her home port was Le Havre and she carried thousands of trans- Atiantlc passengers on gay voyages.

It cost the French Line more than $1000 a day to maintain her at her pier with a skeleton crew.

Line officials estimated that her weight was 7H times that of the E flc 1 Tower. Her length would fill Times Square from Forty-third street to Forty-seventh street—a fifth of a mile.

House Committee is Told | Of $1-Year Men'Scandal' I By th» Associated Press.

A C. I O. representative told the House Small Business Committee today that the practices of some defense dollar-a-year men constituted "a' scandalous situation.”

“It is a reprehensible practice to turn over governmental machinery to interested parties in Industry.” asserted Harold J. Ruttenberg of Pitts- burgh, research director for the C. I. O. s Steel Workers’ Organizing Committee.

Some of these men, he added, "think of themselves as industry men” first and have a tendency to discriminate against their competitors. He mentioned no names.

Mr. Ruttenberg said the War Pro- duction Board’s scrap iron section was an example of the “unfair” use of confidential information required from scrap iron dealers by scrap iron brokers holding governmental positions.

to the present time. The enemy is closing in on us in the Philippines and at Singapore.”

Representative Wood rum. Demo- crat, of Virginia also took the floor to minimize the Leland Ford amendment which seeks to prohibit the use of fan dancers, movie actors and others in the promotion of any shows in the O. C. D. The amendment, he said, had no practical effect, since there was nothing in the bill which permitted the payment of a dollar of the appropriation to pay tne salaries of Mr. Douglas or any of the other employes complained of

"However, if I were in charge of the bill, I would not ask for a vote to strike this amendment out. I would let it stay in the measure," he said.

He described the amendment as a

“rather gratuitous fling at one of the officials of the O. C. D. (meaning Mrs. Roosevelt*.

Mr. Woodrum said that "It looks like there was a lot in the Office of Civilian Defense that was frivolous." He added, however, that there was an orderly way to deal with the situation. It could be done when in a few weeks the O. C. D. comes before the Appropriations Committee to ask for the money for payment of administration.

Meanwhile, Senator Downey. Democrat, of California, told the Senate that Mr. Douglas would have preferred to have served the Office of Civilian Defense without pay but was advised by his superiors that public policy would be better served by placing him on the payroll at the rate of *8.000 a year for the time spent on the Job.

Senator Downey said he was “amazed and disheartened to observe the emotional energy being wasted” over Douglas' appointment.

"So far.” Senator Downey declared. “the detractors of Mr. Doug- las have relied more on clamor than clarity, more on accusation than on accuracy. They have not understood Mr. Douglas' position because they w’ere not interested in understanding—but only in condemnation.

“They have characterized him a

Communist, when it has been obvious to any California newspaper reader that he has fought the Reds and their policies for many years past. They have called him a profiteer—a profiteer, mind you—when his official duties will force him to sacrifice a fabulous income.

“They have implied that he obtained his poet because he was one of Mrs. Roosevelt's proteges! As if he were some waif in need of a

job and a salary, as if he were not Ideally suited to the work to which he has been called.”

Discussing the move to prohibit use of O. C. D. funds for morale building activities. Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio said that if the House failed to circumscribe the offices activities a strong effort would be made in the Senate to do so.”

large the wartime White House police force from 80 to 140 despite the vigorous objection of

Ingalls (Continued From First Page.)

•ted on Mia* Ingalls in New York last March. While ahe was in the hospital, he noticed she was wearing a swastika pendant and remarked upon it. In the ensuing conversa-

tion. the surgeon testified she ex-

pressed the opinion that "Hitler was a marvelous mao."

He said she spoke to him in Ger- man. which language he had studied in school, and that she informed him that she was preparing for the day when Hitler would bring his new order to the United States. Mr. Steele testified to a conversation along the same lines, which he said had so impressed him that he made notes on Miss Ingalls' remarks for possible future use.

Miss Ingalls' attorney, conceded in his opening statement to the jury that Miss Ingalls had conspired with high German diplomats, but Insisted that she was carrying out—on her own Initiative — counterespionage work.

“We will show that Miss Ingalls is a woman of daring initiative, am- bition and a tremendous amount of egotism." Mr. Reilly told the jury in his opening statement at the trial this afternoon.

Acted to Help Country. He conceded the truth of charges

fn»de by Special Assistant to the At- torney General M. Neil Andrews that Miss Ingalls had received money from the Germans and that she had expressed sympathy for the Nazi cause, but held that she was

making a misguided attempt to “in- gratiate” herself with the Germans In order to get information which would be useful to her own country.

With counterespionage in mind. Miss Ingalls got In touch with Nazi diplomats in Washington, the jury was told.

She offered to act as an agent to obtain information for them, but was advised by Baron Ulrich von

Otenanth. second aecretary of the embassy, that:

"The best thing you can do for our cause is to continue to promote ‘America First.'

With this In mind. Mist Ingalls continued her activities in America First and pressed the Nazis for more

important assignments, her lawyer said.

Mr. Reilly said that Miss Ingalls had, on three occasions, made ap- plication with the F. B. I. to secure a position as a counter-espionage agent. When the F B. I. turned her down, he said, she decided to undertake counterspy work on her own.

The defense counsel denied charges which had been made by Mr. Andrews, who opened the trial with an outline of the prosecution's case, that Miss Ingalls was a "missionary” for the Nazis and that she was preparing this country for the “new order of Adolf Hitler."

With both sides conceding the ac-

curacy of most of the evidence showing that Miss Ingalls had financial dealings with the Nazi Embassy here, the jury of 10 men and two women was faced with the problem of deciding what the avlatrix's mo-

tives had been in this intrigue.

mous consent agreement and without debate.

He explained House members had complained they did not know the congressional pension feature was a part of the legislation. That fact, he declared, is a “reflection” on the members.

Representative Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi said the American people are “upset” about the pensions for Congressmen and appealed to the House Civil Service Committee to "deal fairly” with them. He de-

clared Jefferson Davis, Stonewall Jackson and Ulysses 8. Grant after serving the country "went back to the people without asking for a

pension.” Declaring that the congressional

retirement pay bill was put through the House In a smart, unparlia- mentary manner, Representative Curtis, Republican, of Nebraska said he favored Immediate repeal of the law.

(Earlier Story on Page A-6.) By the Associated Press.

RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 9 —

Reinforced by fresh Chinese and Indian troops, the British appeared tonight to have stabilized the Salween River front barring the Japanese drive toward Ran- goon and China’s last important gateway to the sea.

Possibly the Japanese drive had been broken.

An army communique tonight showed no change in the strong Salween River line, although enemy

planes had been attacking positions on the east bank of the river, 30 miles north of Moulmein. Later in

the day there was an exchange of small arms Are—nothing more.

"Imperial bombers supported by fighters yesterday inflicted some

damage on small enemy concentra-

tions,” the communique added. "There was also activity by im-

perial reconnaissance planes. There were no enemy raids over Burma last night Early this morning two warnings were sounded in the Ran- goon area, but no raids developed.”

Nye Moves to Compel Farm Price Parity Levels

(Earlier Story on Page A-3.) By th« Associated Press.

Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota Introduced today legislation which would prevent Govern- ment agencies from operating to hold farm prices below parity levels.

Senator Nye charged that there was "evidence of an intention by- various officers and agencies in the executive branch of the Govern- ment. by manipulative practices and otherwise, to prevent the prices of farm commodities from reaching or being maintained at parity levels."

Parity is a price calculated to give the farmer the same return he received in a basic period, usually 1909-1914. Secretary of Agriculture Wlckard recently said that farm prices ought not to go above parity, although the new price control law would permit them to reach 110 per cent of parity before ceilings could be imposed

Farm bloc members have charged that the Government intended to sell surplus crops under its control in an effort to keep prices down. Senator Nye said that any such action "would seriously disrupt the production of agricultural commodities essential to the successful prosecution of the war."

Racing News Today's Results, Entries and Selections for Tomorrow

Rossvan's Comment Selections for a Fast Track at Hialeah Park

BEST BET-VOTUM.

FIRST RACE—DREAMY EYES, MISS GOSLING, ALL WEST.

DREAMY EYES has turned in two cracker-jack efforts at this session and she appears to hold a

winning advantage in the opening dash. MISS GOSLING appears to improve with every out- ing and she could have a lot to say about the result. ALL WEST has worked well enough for money consideration.

SECOND RACE—SIZZLING PAN. REMOTE CONTROL, MAR LE.

SIZZLING PAN compiled a

very consistent record at the Gables strip and has as good a

chance as anything else in this wide open number. REMOTE CONTROL closed swiftly in his last attempt and he appears to have been raced into peak condition. MAR LE has been on the sidelines for a while but is said to be ready.

THIRD RACE—VOTUM, PEEP SHOW, CREPE.

VOTUM hasn't copped a race for some time but he has been brought to tiptop condition and he should have a lot to say about the result. PEEP SHOW has two wins and a second to show for his three Hia- leah tests. CREPE took place honors in his lone Tropical test and he could improve off that try.

FOURTH RACE — RODNEY, BIG MEAL, PUTITTHERE.

RODNEY won his last in a hard drive and has worked well since that showing. He could master this opposition BIG MEAL disappointed in her last but she won her previous attempt and the Bradley colorbearer will be in the thick of it. PUTIT- THERE has clever recent form to recommend him.

FIFTH RACE — OLYMPUS, CUTE TRICK, IN QUES- TION.

OLYMPUS has had two con- ditioners at this strip and he has worked very swiftly in preparation for this test. A good ride could go a long way in having him in the winner's circle. CUTE TRICK raced well on the West Coast and she could be hard to handle. IN QUESTION might have the show.

SIXTH RACE—OFF SHORE, SIGNATOR, DISPOSE.

OFF SHORE has been very consistent in all of his Florida tests and he may be able to handle this good opposition. SIG- NATOR has chalked up two wins at this session and he figures to give the top one plenty of argument. DISPOSE is speedy and he may take the early lead. He could take it all.

SEVENTH RACE — HORN- BLENDE, EXPLORATION, GREEDAN.

HORNBLENDE was distanced in his last but the lads who nurse the split-second tick-tocks say he is ready to lick a field of this caliber. EXPLORATION closed well in his last and he may be in the thick of the scramble all the way. GREEDAN has a turf victory here to recommend him.

EIGHTH RACE—MISS HIGH HAT, KING’S ERROR, HADA MOON.

MISS HIGH HAT appears very well placed in this race and ready for a winning effort. Working very well and the dockers are sweet on this ones chances. KINGS ERROR is much better than her recent race would suggest and will be close HADA MOON is very consistent and rarely runs a bad race.

Landis Confirms That Actor Douglas Works Without Pay

$8,000 Salary Figure Was 'Theoretical/ Says Kirby of 0. C. D.

James M. Landis, executive director of the Office of Civilian Defense, today backed up the statement of Actor Melvyn Douglas that he was

serving without compensation and not making the $8,OOJ a year which roused a storm of protest in Con- gress.

James Kirby, O. C. D. press officer, who had verified reports of the $8,000 salary, today said he “didn’t know all the details” when he disclosed the salary.

The question of salary for Mr. Douglas arose last Tuesday at the press conference at which Dean Landis announced the appointment of Mr. Douglas as director of a

newly-formed arts council for O. C.D.

Asked About salary. Dean Landis was asked by a re-

porter what salary Mr. Douglas would receive and said that had not

yet been worked out, but he assumed Mr. Douglas would serve on the same, basis that he had—travel ex-

penses and subsistence. He said he did not think Mr.

Douglas would mind that arrangement. When a reporter suggested that Mr. Douglas’ living expenses might be higher than that of some

other people, Dean Landis said the subsistence wage was fixed by the Government.

Thursday morning a Star reporter called Mr. Kirby to verify a published statement that Mr. Douglas would not be on a subsistence ar-

rangement, but would receive $8,000 a year, or $22.60 a day while actually working. Mr. Kirby said the report was correct, but asked the reporter to use the word “disclosed” instead of "announced.”

CaUed “Theoretical figure." After Mr. Douglas' denial that he

was getting $8,000 a year, The Star reporter who had confirmed the $8,000 salary report last Thursday with Mr. Kirby, today called him by telephone at his home.

Mr. Kirby said the $8,000 was a

“theoretical figure” and when It was pointed out that the word •’theoretical” had not figured In previous discussions, Mr. Kirby re-

sponded: “Well, I didn’t know all the details at the time,” and referred to a statement Issued this morning by Dean Landis on advice from the

Civil Service Commission. He said, however, that he understood Mr. Douglas would still get subsistence while working and traveling ex-

penses. The statement from Dean Landis

follows: “All W. O. C. (without compensa-

tion) appointments In the Office of Civilian Defense must be classified— l.e., must be allocated to the ap- propriate salary grade that the

position would carry If a salary were

paid. This is done because the salaries of subordinate paid em-

ployes in the same unit are affected by and have a relationship to the salary grade level of the top position and unless the theoretical level of W. O. C. positions Is determined, It becomes difficult to appraise the work of the paid subordinate positions in the same organization. For this reason, Mr. Douglas’ position was classified and was theoretically allocated to the P-8 ($8,000) level

despite the fact that he Is actually serving without compensation and It was this fact that caused the current misunderstanding regarding his

supposed Government salary.” Mr. Douglas in his statement said: “I don’t mind being criticized. But

what began as a personal attack upon me has grown into an attack upon a job which needs to be done—

a job which is an essential part of the civilian defense prbgram.

“Here Is the job which Dean James Landis, executive director of the Office of Civilian Defense, described to me, and which I accepted. All over America there are actors, writers, playwrights, radio stars, song writers, band leaders and singers who want to do their part in the war effort. For weeks their re-

quests have been pouring into Wash- ington. They want to know “what can we do How can we serve?”

Can Contribute Talent*. "The people in the entertainment

world can contribute their talents and abilities to the civilian defense program. They can dramatise de-

fense, they can dramatize the war

effort, they can bring home, to communities all over our land, the

meaning of America at war.

“It is necessary for the Office of Civilian Defense to have a clearing house which will help, encourage and inform the men and women of the entertainment world who are

volunteering their talents and who want to put their talents to use in our common cause.

"This is everybody's fight. No

group of citizens can be excluded from taking part in the war effort. The personal attack upon me has broadened into a generalized attack on a fundamental issue: Whether or not thousands of loyal Americans who work in the creative or entertainment world shall, because of their profession, be denied the privilege of helping to win this war.

They want to help win the war, and

they have as much right to con-

tribute their energies and talent as a businessman or a manufacturer. The Broadway leading man and the

Hollywood extra girl have as big a

stake in this war. and as sincere a

desire to serve their country as the boom town businessman and the fac-

tory girl. Don’t Have “Glamour.”

"A few of these men and women are stars. But most of them are the folks of the small-town theater in Kansas, the 100-watt radio station in Montana, the county fair circuit in New England. They don’t have "glamour,” but they do have talent —and they want to place that talent at the service of their Government. They are in fact, demanding the right to do their part.

"Merely for the sake of the record: "I am not 'director of information’

of the Office of Civilian Defense. “I am not being paid a salary of

$8,000 a year. “in civil service language, my title

Is "expert consultant," P-8. “I am working on a W. O. C. basis,

Girl, 22, Year Out of College, Receives $2,600 From O. C. D. to Co-ordinate Youth Activities

With the Office of Civilian De- ,< fense a focal point of both confusion and controversy. The Star has assigned a reporter to interview key figures in the organization and report what he discovers, what he is told and any news-

worthy experience he has in thus attempting to bring an understanding of the existing civilian defense setup to the public.

At 22, attractive Jane Seaver ha* gained the title of co-director of youth activities in the Office of Civilian defense, and has been given the task of leading millions of young Americans—from college age down— into active posts in the civilian war

{ effort.

Declaring that she does not know just why she was selected, or who chose her, Miss Seaver jumped into her $2,600-a-year post from a summer camp job. Last year she was

still a student at Mount Holyoke College.

Sharing responsibility with Gil- bert Harrison, 26, who gets $3200 as

co-director, she works under guidance of Mrs. Roosevelt. About three times a week Mrs. Roosevelt and the co-directors have been conferring on duties of American youth, according to Miss Seaver.

They Fear Communists. It is impossible to say just how

much is being done by youth in the war effort because few reports are made back to O. C. D., Miss Seaver said. Just how much credit the youth division should get for any results also is hard to discover, she points out, since “the kids are crazy to do something.”

“We’re scared stiff that they wiU oe captured by the Communist* or some ‘silver shirt’ outfit,” she said. With thi* in mind, she and her col- leagues have asked that every city and State appoint a youth member co its defense council and set up a

“youth defense auxiliary” to co- ordinate all activities by young people. Political groups would be ex-

cluded from the auxiliary.

Sponsor* “War Councils." The O. C. D. also is sponsoring

“war councils” in college*, and to boost these WUliam Norton, 23, is

employed at $2,000 to send publicity to 850 college papers. O. C. D. sub- scribe* to 76 of these paper* to watch result*.

The younger member* of the O. C. D. staff travel all over the country to make speeches.

gone to California to address college gatherings.

Miss Seaver, daughter of a Na- tional Association of Manufacturers executive who lives at White Plains, N. Y., says she first met Mrs. Roose- velt about a year ago. As head of Mount Holyoke student government, Miss Beavers was hostess to the President’s wife when Mrs. Roose- velt arrived to speak before a defense conference of representatives from seven girls’ colleges.

Surprised at Appointment. Last summer, while assistant di-

rector at Camp Sloane, a Y. W. C. A.-Y. M. C. A. camp near Lakeville, Conn., Miss 6eaver was surprised to receive information that she had been nominated as sole youth mem-

ber on the O. C. D. Volunteer Par- ticipation Committee, an unpaid group of 45 advisers. Miss Seaver

says she does not know the source

of this nomination—but it apparently came from Civilian Defense Director La Guardia or straight from President Roosevelt.

In September she moved up to the paid leadership of youth-in-defense, arriving before Mrs. Roosevelt was appointed assistant director. At that time, she declared, she did not know the President’s wife well.

Edited School Newspaper. Asked to describe Mr. Harrison’s

qualifications, Miss Seaver reported that he was editor of the school newspaper at the University of Cali- fornia at Los Angeles and chairman of the student religious body there. He graduated in 1937. Afterward, he was radio director for the Uni- versity Religious Conference.

His outstanding achievement, she said, was as speaker in a “trlalogue,” made up of three young people who toured the country speaking on the

relationship between religion and democracy.

Little printed material has been sent out recently by the youth division because Government printing agencies are jammed by sugar rationing coupons and selective serv-

ice material, it was stated. Two bulletins were released Jan-

uary 1, however, and these covered the questions of youth in local defense and at college. One bulletin listed 103 things that young people might do—ranging from volunteering for air raid or fire watcher service to less obvious and more in- genious suggestions.

Draft Age Organization. Local youth organizations were

asked to “organize young men of draft age to secure physical exam- inations and to correct defects.” It was said they could "organize informal parties, folk dances, athletic teams, swimming events for farm youth and young factory and office workers.”

“Rural youth can organize traveling libraries, puppet shows, folk dance squads, movies, etc.”

Young people can “act as leaders for citizenship, art, current events and music appreciation classes.”

“Publicize ways to make clothing last longer,” it was suggested, and conduct forums on subjects such as “methods of propaganda and sabotage,”

Promotion of “Bull Sessions.” College students were asked to en-

list blood donors and sell Defense bdnds. For morale, they were told to promote "dormitory and fraternity bull sessions."

There have been no reports on the total national response to any of these ideas, because support is voluntary and under direct charge of regional defense organizations, it was explained. Individual responses have been impressive. Hunter Col- lege, New York, sold $12,000 worth of Defense stamps and bonds within a few weeks after Pearl Harbor, it was said.

The Youth Division has had to

straighten out confusion in other institutions, Miss Seaver declared. In one college in the Washington area faculty and students were working at cross purposes, she said, but at a suggestion from the O. C. D. resolved their differences. In another school the defense activity was dominated by a few fraternities and the O. C. D. “democratized” it. Sixty per cent of the colleges now re-

portedly have “war councils.” Like other O. C. D. bureaus, the

Youth Division has plans that have not yet hatched. Two men are now

reported working on script for a radio show for which no time on the air has yet been assured.

A third, article dealing with the further O. C. D. activities will appear tomorrow.

Australian Army Minister

Congratulates MacArthur By the Associated Press.

SYDNEY. Australia, Feb. 9.—On behalf of the Australian people, Army Minister Francis Forde broadcast a message to Gen^ Douglas Mac- Arthur today congratulating him and his men for their courageous stand against the Japanese on Luzon Island.

‘‘We take pride in your superb courage and skill, and all Australia prays for your army's triumph,” Mr. Forde declared.

“We understand and share the democratic spirit in which you fight and the things for which you fight. The commonwealth will always remember with the deepest gratitude the strong hand of friendship held out to us by the great democracy of the United States.

“It is not in our power to send you help in your immediate trials, but our fighting men look forward to the honor of joining forces with American fighters in other theaters of war.”

Roosevelt Vetoes Bill Tightening Control of Alien Propaganda

Asks Redraft of Measure Designed to Protect Nation in Peacetime

President Roosevelt today vetoed* a bill providing stricter control over alien propaganda in the United States because, he Indicated, it would have hampered the co-operative efforts of the United Nations to defeat the Axis.

Viscount Halifax, the British Am- bassador, it is known, has pointed out to the State Department that a

strict construction of the measure would have interfered seriously with the function of British information offices in the United States and hampered the travel of British military and official people to the United States.

Even Winston Churchill would have been .required to register under the act, it is thought, should he have visited the United States when the law was in operation. * Mr. Roosevelt recommended that the bill be redrafted so as to grant broad discretionary powers to the Attorney General during the emergency.

“This bill," the President said in his veto message, “was drafted In peace time to protect a nation at peace. It was properly designed to force the disclosure of the activities of foreign agents who may abuse the hospitality of our country or weaken our national unity by fostering discord and distrust.

“The bill, however, obviously was not drafted with a view to the situation created by the Axis assault upon our country and our entry into th* war..

Mrs. Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.)

doing, and because she has wider contacts with the people who would have to be brought into the program as volunteers than some one

teaching recreation might have. Mrs. Roosevelt said she was not acquainted with* Miss Chaney s work and suggested that reporters get in touch with John Kelly, head of the Physical Fitness Division.

Asked whether she would abide by j the ruling of Congress if it should adopt the amendment that would bar dancing from the O. C. D„ she responded that there was time to make such decisions when she was

faced with them. When a reporter commented that the Children's Bu- reau now has experts doing much the same kind of thing, Mrs. Roose- velt said that many programs of existing agencies are not able to do a whole job and that Mr. Kelly, as

far as possible, has tried to supple- ment the work that is now being done, slanting it toward the war program.

Mrs. Roosevelt said in answer to ka question that her continuation as assistant director Of 6. C. D. in charge of volunteer participation will depend on whoever succeeds Mayor La Ouardia as director Of O. C. D. She also said that the President had not discussed attacks on the O. C. D. with her and that when he did discuss the situation, it would be with Mayor La Ouardia. O. C. D. director, or James M. Landis, executive director.

Mrs. Roosevelt expressed belief in a radio broadcast last night that the Nation's people might be looking to the future with greater percep- tion than some members of Con- gress.

If that should be the case, she added, then "we will find our Repre- sentatives trying to dig out some

scapecoat to take the blame if things haven’t been done."

That is an old habit with all of us, she said.

Her remarks regarding members of Congress followed a reference to a recent statement of Senator Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts, that the military branches of the service never asked Congress to fortify the Pacific Island of Guam, a United States possession now in Japanese hands.

_

"I wonder why he finds It necessary to make that statement,” Mrs. Roosevelt said. “It is possible that the Senator may be wondering whether the people are awakening and moving faster than Congress? It isn’t very profitable to discuss whether several years ago the military branches of the service recommended something or not. There must have been discussion about It, or it would not be brought up by the Senator.”

Mrs. Roosevelt said "perhaps he is coming to realize that the people of the country, because of the stress of the times, are going to take more

minute interest in what actually happens, not only in the fortification of Guam, but in all the things which concern our Nation and the rest of the world.”

At his Clinton (Mass.) home, Sen- ator Walsh said, on learning of Mrs. Roosevelt’s remarks, "I don’t think they call for any answer from me." He said that he did not hear the broadoast.

District Expects Share In Civilian Defense Fund

The District may share in the *100,000,000 Office of Civilian De- fense appropriation request included In the first 1942 deficiency bill now before Congress, it was disclosed today.

Commissioner Young, co-ordinator of civilian defense for the metropolitan area, said he had received assurances from Mayor La Ouardia. O. C. D. director, that some alloca- tion of funds for District detense materials would be made.

Mr. Young said no amount was

specified, but indicated materials for the emergency medical services organised under Dr. John Reed might be purchased with O. C. D. funds. The District previously had estimated the cost of these materials at approximately $26,000, Mr. Young said.

The Commissioner said defense plans here were going ahead on the expectancy that some such alloca- tion would be made.

American Indmtry Goes Jo War—

Magic Gifts of U. S. Chemists Invaluable to Armed Forces

Home Industry Has Developed Mightily Since Days of First World Struggle

(Ninth of a Series.)

By THOMAS R. HENRY, Star Staff Correapondent.

WILMINGTON, Del., Feb. 9.—A major contribution of the chemical industry to the war efficiency of America is digging the colors of the rainbow out of coal mines.

By Juggling the molecules of coal tar the chemists can match the red of the robin’s breast or the elusive green of meadows in spring—in forms which will combine chemically with cloth so they will not come out in the wash.

Take, for example, an olive drab< uniform. Before the last war many experiments had shown that It was almost an ideal camouflage for a

man. It combined with a background of green grass or trees so that at a little distance a marching regiment was nearly invisible.

In 1917, as veterans can testify, olive drab was apt to be anything from mud-brown to pea-green. To- day an expert hardly could distinguish the color of one uniform from another in this best-dressed Army in the world.

Processes Are Secret. The change is due to better dies—

the materials and processes used being a military secret at present.

The synthetic dye industry before 1917 had been largely a development of German chemists. America imported tons of their materials and had practically none of her own. Shortly before the United States entered the war the astute Count von Bemstorff, German Ambassador in Washington, advised his Gov- ernment that by putting an embargo on dyes it could cause a major industrial dislocation by throwing about 4,000,000 Americans out of work.

The British blockade did shut off dye imports. This was a major cause of anti-British feeling in this country. The Government itself appealed to Great Britain to let Dutch ships through. Otherwise it could not print its stamps or its money.

One of the biggest news stories of the war was the appearance in Baltimore harbor in July, 1918, of the German submarine Deutsch- land, carrying a cargo of dyes. It was a week’s supply for America. It was predicted that this would soon be "a nation in gray.” Prices of dyes rose to fantastic heights.

Germans Matched in Own Art. As soon as the war was over

American chemists started to rem- edy this situation. They matched the Germans in their own art and chemical factories began turning out dyes by the carload. This country soon exported dyes to Europe and elsewhere in direct competition with the Oerman industry. Now. it is safe to say, there is hardly a color in nature which the chemist cannot duplicate almost perfectly. Dozens of delicate new shades appear every year.

This has been only in small measure an appeal to the vanity of American women. The significance of dyes in a thousand activities of daily life hardly can be overesti- mated. The only possible shortage envisioned by officials of the Du Pont company is in cases where some of the chemicals are badly needed for war purposes. A few shades, at the most, are likely to disappear.

A similar example is urea. It is one of the waste products of the animal body. About a century ago a German chemist succeeded in synthesizing It. This was perhaps one of the major events in the history of science. For the first time

man had succeeded In producing outside the body a substance which had been considered purely a product of living tissue.

Uses Are Diverse. The military, industrial and medi-

cinal uses of urea are manifold. It is a raw material for some of the most necessary plastics. It is es-

sential in fertilizers. It is used in treatment of lumber for Army and Navy purposes. It heals some types of wounds with magical speed.

In the last war Germany had a! monopoly on urea. In 1920 imports cost $1,100 a ton. Today urea, syn- thesized from coal, air and water, is being produced at one of the Du Pont plants for $85 a ton..

In the last war the Army appealed to civilians to give up their field and opera glasses. There was a des- perate shortage of optical glass for military uses. This also was a Ger- man monopoly. The chemists got busy. Today this country produces the largest quantities of the finest optical glass in the world.

Perhaps the most significant of all chemical contributions to this war is nitrogen. This gas constitutes about three-fifths of the air we

breathe. It is absolutely essential in malting all kinds of explosives. It is absolutely essential in fertilizer. There are about 70,000.000 pounds of it over every acre of ground in the world, but few crops can make any use of it In its gaseous form.

Lacked Fixation Process. In 1917 America was dependent

on Chilean deposits for almost every pound of nitrogen used. So, for that matter, were all the Allies. Ger- many alone had developed a means

of extracting nitrogen from the air, thanks to the genius of one of her chemists, Fritz Haber.

Before his invention, scientists had predicted that the civilized world was doomed to starve to death when all the Chilean nitrate had been used, a prospect then

seemingly not far distant. So Fritz Haber can be credited with saving the world from eventual starva-

tion, though probably if he had not hit on the secret somebody else very shortly would have.

Haber happened to be a sincere and honest man. Also he had a trace of Jewish blood in his ances-

try. He was one of the first victims of Nazi oppression, dying in exile in Switzerland.

Now American chemical com-

panies can turn out nitrogen by the thousands of tons. DuPont and others spent millions on nitrogen fixation plants. Additionally, a

chain of Government-owned plants are now being rushed Into production. The process requires, however, an enormous amount of highly complicated machinery and the vital need for nitrates in the explosives industry and for other war purposes makes necessary a certain economy in their use. Shipments from Chile, by the way, have Just been resumed.

Philadelphia Block Is Ravaged by Fire With Million Loss

Boy Reported Seen Plunging Into Flames; 200 Treated for Injuries

By the Associated Mess.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. Th® city’s most destructive fire in 18

years ravaged a large block of business buildings and homes last night and early today, causing damage firemen said would exceed $1,003,000,

A woman spectator—one of nearly 50,000 who crowded Into the thickly populated area at Columbia and Ridge avenue—said she saw a ’teen- age boy plunge from a rooftop into the flames when a wall collapsed, but police reported no one was

missing. A 30-mile-an-hour north wind

sent flames hundreds of feet into the air. Eight alarms were sounded. Forty fire companies and 75 pieces of apparatus Joined the fight.

Four buildings were destroyed and 13 others were damaged before the swift-spreading flames were brought under control.

Approximately 200 persons—most of them firemen—were treated for injuries at the scene. Eleven persons were taken to hospitals. Most seriously hurt was a fireman who received a broken back and crushed foot.

"It was the worst fire I have ever

experienced,” said Fire Chief Wil- liam Cowden. "I don’t see how w# ever stopped it.”

Fifty families were left homeless and 1,000 were driven from their homes temporarily by smoke and fear of the fire spreading.

Many ran into the streets in scanty clothing despite the 24- degree temperature. Power and light lines fell under coatings of ice.

Neighbors said an explosion preceded the fire which started In the four-story warehouse of the Acme Furniture Co. Owners of the company said their damage alone was

more than $200,000. Ouy E. Parsons, the city’s chief

air-raid warden, called out 250 district wardens to handle the crowds. He praised their work, but said, “This would be some mess if it were a real bomb attack.”

His supposed salary was one of the considerations which led the House to prohibit last week use of any of the O. C. D.'s appropriation to finance “fan dancing, street shows, theatricals, or other public entertainments.”

The other main topic of debate was the appointment of Miss Chaney as head of children’s activities in the physical fitness division. Miss Chaney, defending her Job last week, said she had not yet received any of her $4,800-a-year salary.

Chinese Boys Helping Defend Singapore Get Baptism of Fire

Volunteers Odd-Looking Fighters, Dressed in

Variety of Clothing By C. YATES McDANIEL,

Associated Press War Correspondent. SINGAPORE, Feb. 8 (Delayed).—

Approximately 1,000 Chinese youths and men who volunteered to fight in defense of Singapore got their baptism of fire today and they took it like seasoned veterans.

Five companies of these 'volunteers, many of whom had never even shouldered a gun until a week ago, were in the lines on the northern part of Singapore Island when Japa- nese artillery on the other side of Johore Strait began a heavy bombardment this morning.

The shelling appeared to have little effect on their nerves. Some of the Chinese, stationed in reserve

areas, actually slept through the din. !* The volunteers, recruited here from the ranks of laborers, tailors, shopkeepers and students, have been nicknamed the "Dalforce" after their commander. Col. John Dailey.

Broad Grins for Chief. Before visiting the positions they

are holding at the front I inspected a training depot in Singapore City, where several hundred additional Chinese are receiving military in-

struction. As Col. Dailey's automobile drew

up, several sentries garbed in an odd assortment of clothes came to

attention in a highly individualized manner. One saluted with his right hand, one with his left and several called “hello.” but all had broad grins for their chief, who won great popularity during his 21 years of service as a police officer in Malaya.

The inclosed courtyard, where a

group was undergoing unorthodox but highly enthusiastic training, looked more like a circus lot than a

parade ground. In one corner newcomers were

learning to count off. In another corner a group was being loudly harangued by a political leader and a platoon was marching around the square trying to keep step to a

tooting whistle. Unusual Picture.

The “Dalforce” armory presented a picture to delight the sportsman and to give an ordnance expert the shudders. Stacked around the ware-

house were Swiss target rifles, double-barreled shotguns, sawed-off riot guns, axes, knives, swords and improvised weapons of every description.

Behind the noise and cheerful commotion in the depot, however, there was evident a serious purpose and the British officers—who in

peacetime were planters and civil servants—believe so firmly in their men they are ready to lead them to the front after a few days of drill.

Police Ordered to Protect Women on Street at Night

Police were under orders today to give special attention to women

walking in the street alone at night following an attempted attack iast

night on a 21-year-old Providence Hospital nurse.

The nurse was on her way home from the hospital whm a stocky, youthful colored man grabbed her from behind and tried to drag her into an alley in the 500 block of Third street S.E.

By scratching and biting, the girl was able to ward off the attacker until her screams attracted two men

passing by in an automobile. The men jumped out and chased the colored man for a distance but lost him. The attacker was wearing a

dark green overcoat and gray hat. He was about 20 years old and 5 feet 7 inches tall.

The nurse was taken back to the hospital, where she was treated for bruises to the mouth and shock.

Following up assignment of extra details of police to track down the men who have attacked almost a dozen Washington women in the last two weeks, Maj. Edward J. Kelly, superintendent of police, issued a special order to all members of the force calling on them to give “every possible protection to any woman traveling on the street.”

Seaman's Pet Shepherd Arrives From Hawaii

Brownie, a canine refugee from Hawaii, arrived yesterday at the home of Mrs. Roland E. Lee, 2100 block of Thirteenth street S.E., after traveling thousands of miles by boat and train. The young German shepherd was none the worse for the long journey, the last lap of which she completed in a an express car.

Brownie is the pet of Mrs. Lee’s son-in-law and daughter, Chief Yeoman and Mrs. Donald r. Kent. Mrs. Kent brought Brownie in the ship with her when she sailed for the States. Mrs. Kent is expected in Washington soon, Mrs. Lee said.

Gen. Todt, German Engineer, Is Killed in Air Accident

Construction Expert Was Builder of Siegfried Line

BERLIN (From German Broad- casts), Feb. 9.—Maj. Gen. Frits Todt, who literally paved the way for Adolf Hitler's armies, has been killed on the Eastern front.

With wide, black bands of mourn- ing, the German press today told its readers that the famed Todt was killed in an air accident yesterday "while carrying through his military task in the East.” He was

50 years old. Gen. Todt, who was Reichminister

of Munitions as well as a construction wizard, has been presented to the Germans as the master builder, the super-engineer, ever since his completion of the Siegfried Line to guard Germany’s western front.

A state funeral was ordered in his honor.

Death overtook Gen. Todt “in the East" amid the scenes of his greatest humiliation, for the roads and bridges which his thousands of engineers and pick-and-shovel workers hastily patched up in the East were

designed for a quick passage to Mos- cow—not for a withdrawal.*

In Poland, in the Netherlands, in Belgium and in France, Gen. Todt's men—always at the heels of the army with their picks and pon- toons—had shared in the praise meted out to the warriors.

Faced New Obstacles. “In the East,” where Gen, Todt

and his men had gone last summer

to speed the movement of Hitler’s armies into Russia, the “organization Todt” faced new obstacles and new

tasks. The army was stalled and not even Gen. Todt could smooth a

way through the stubborn Russians, the trackless wastes and the mount- ing snow.

Almost every one who saw Gen. Todt's handiwork acknowledged that he was indeed an engineer of the first order and an organizer of talent. The work of his organization in putting down bridges to replace the hundreds dynamited by the Dutch, Belgians and French drew praise from even his country’s enemies.

Gen. Todt was the fourt high- placed Nazi to die in unusual cir- cumstances since the war began.

Gen. I'det Was First. Less than three months ago Col.

Gen. Ernst Udet, brilliant designer for the German air force, died “while testing a secret weapon.”

Col. Gen. Werner von Fritsch, who had fallen into ill graces of Hit- ler as chief of staff of the army, died in action in Poland while on a patrol task ordinarily assigned a subordinate.

Field Marshal Walther von Reich- enau died last month of a “heart attack” while on the defensive with his troops in the Ukraine.

Gen. Todt’s greatest monument is

MAJ. GEN. FRITZ TODT.

the Siegfried Line, or Westwall, which never was tested by battle.

Soon after the conquest of Poland he transferred his legions of laborers to the east and began to lay the roads and build the defenses which Hitler demanded there.'

Joined Hitler Early. Although the German press spoke

of an "Eastwall,” informed sources said it was unlikely that Gen. Todt did anything more than improve the roads and communications and build the minimum defenses which Hitler needed on the Russian frontier for the historic "settlement with Bol- shevism.”

Gen. Todt Joined Hitler in the early days of the Nazi movement. In school, he had specialized in roadbuilding and received the degree of doctor of engineering. He served in the World War and was wounded while acting as aerial observer.

British Send Patrols Against Axis Forces Southwest of Derna

El Mechili Brought Into

Libyan Battle Zone For First Time

Bj tht Associated Press.

CAIRO, Egypt, Feb. fl.—British desert fighters, holding their positions firmly before Tobruk, have thrust out patrols against the enemy in the El Mechili area south of the Qebel El Achdar ranges, the British said today In a communique.

British mobile columns engaged infantry and artillery forces of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, 12 mUes west of Ain El Oazala, coastal point which Axis claimed was captured Saturday.

Air forces supported the land troops again, and continued to har- rass the lengthened Axis communication lines.

Patrol activities near El Mechili brought that strategic desert point Into the battle zone for the first time in this campaign.

Some 60 miles southwest of Derna, El Mechili Is considered a key to the whole desert region south of the mountain zone which the Axis forces have overrun.

It appeared that at last, the Af- rican Corps of Marshal Rommel were faced with the main British forces, although no large-scale battle has yet been joined. The halt in Marshal Rommel’s eastward sweep to within 150 miles of the Egyptian frontier indicated he might be having trouble with communications. which the British have con-

stantly battered since the Axis counterattack was launched from El Aghella January 22.

The British spoke of the sweep as “protective,” Indicating they expected to make a firm stand before To- bruk, where a seven months’ siege was lifted in December. There was no hint that the British themselves might be preparing a large-scale counterattack In the prolonged seesaw battle for Peremier Mussolini's last African possession. Raids on Alexandria Reported by Italians

•The following dispatch *u aent from the enemy country, whose motive in releaalna new* la likely to be propa- aanda. Axis elaimi ahould be credited only when confirmed by American or Allied sources.)

ROME (Prom Italian Broadcast*), Feb. 9 WP).—The Italian high command announced today that Factst warplanes had raided Alexandria, Egypt, site of a big British naval base, scoring hits on important military objectives.

(Cairo acknowledged the Alex- andria raid but said it caused neither damage nor casualties.) The raiders shot down one British

plane during the attack and returned safely to their bases through a curtain of anti-aircraft lire, the high command said.

Other Italian air squadrons bombed British communication lines in Libya but there were no land operations of any importance yesterday on that front, the daily war bulletin declared.

(It was the second successive day on which the Italians had failed to claim any additional gains for the Axis offensive in Libya.) The Italians acknowledged that

the British Air Force had raided Tripoli, but minimised damage and said two natives were the only casualties.

The German air force was said to have carried out new attacks on Malta.

Senators Map Fight Against U. S. Curb On Farm Prices

Nye, Gillette, Aiken Will Offer Proposals To Uphold 'Parity'

The Senate farm bloc prepared to move today to prevent the Govern- ment from putting a check on rising farm prices until they reach the level permitted under the new price control law.

Senator Nye, Republican, of North Dakota said he would seek approval of a resolution to prevent Federal agencies from moving against farm prices until they had reached parity. Parity is the average price of an

adjusted base period, usually 1909- 1914, calculated to give the farmer equality of buying power with others.

Another of the farm group, Sena- tor Gillette, Democrat, of Iowa, said he expected to join with Senator Aiken, Republican, of Vermont, in offering legislation which would prevent the Government from selling any crop surplus if that action would depress farm prices.

Price Administrator Leon Hender- son and Secretary of Agriculture Wiekard have announced co-operative efforts would be made to prevent any undue increases in the cost of living.

8enator Nye told reporters hy believed it was the “obvious intent” of Mr. Henderson and Secretary Wiekard to keep farm prices from reaching parity levels, which would be short of the point where the price administrator could impose ceilings.

These ceilings cannot become operative until prices have reached 110 per cent of parity, until they equal the average in the period from 1919-39, or until they equal the price on last October 1 or December 15, whichever is higher.

The news service said pilots who carried out this attack had ac- counted for two large Axis supply ships in a previous assault, but failed to say whether all were in the same convoy.

British File Protest To Spanish Leader On Tangier Rioting

Question of Compensation For Damage. Expected To Be Raised

B» th« Associated Press.

LONDON. Feb. 9.—'Die British consul general in Tangier haa lodged a strong protest with Gen. Uriate, commander of the Spanish forces, because of rioting Saturday, which the British charge was Axis-

Inspired. An authoritative source said the

protest was made immediately after the riot took place. Spanish troops were sent to the scene and peace was restored.

This source said the attention of the Spanish government probably would be drawn to these Axis at-

tempts to embitter relations between Britain and Spain and that the question of compensation for damage no doubt would be raised.

Martial Law Throttles Riotous Tangier Factions

MADRID, Feb. 9 (>P).—Riotous factions in Tangier were kept throttled by Spanish Morocco authorities under martial law today after the latest in a chain of mysterious, violent events attributed to competition of Britain and Germany for Arab support in the Mediterranean war zone.

The outburst was touched off by the explosion Friday of a time-bomb in a taxi cab loaded with British diplomatic baggage on a crowded Tangier pier.

The violent blast killed 14 persons. and several others among 38 wounded are believed to be dying. The explosion destroyed th* taxi, two other automobiles, part of the

pier and the custom house. Thousands of inhabitants of Tan-

gier, in the Spanish-seised former international zone across the Strait of Gibraltar from Britain’s ‘’rock.’’ immediately gave vent to their ire, parading past several foreign missions and Government House with banners saying, “Tangier Is Not at War!”

Charges and Countercharges. Violence in Tangier was listed

by observers in Spain at the top of a baffling list of travels by Euro-

pean and Moslem diplomats, charges and countercharges between Britain and the Axis and political tension in

Egypt and Turkey. It, came Just after the Vichy gov-

ernment had denied British asser-

tions that Tunisia, bordering Libya on the west, was being used as an

Axis North African base and that French merchant ships were carrying war supplies to Nazi rield Mar- shal Erwin Rommel.

Oerman Reichsmarshal Hermann Wilhelm Goering only last week re-

turned to Berlin from Rome where, diplomatic sources said, he had asked full Italian naval support for con-

voys of German soldiers and ma-

terial being rushfcd to Libya despite the menace of the British fleet.

Within the last week, two anti- British Arab leaders, the belligerent, banished grand mufti of Jerusalem and Rashid All A1 Gailani. former

prime minister of Iraq, have arrived in Rome from Berlin.

Turkey Hopes te Stay Out.

Turkey, which sits as a non-com-

batant bastion at the eastern end of the Mediterranean—the counter-

part of Spain in the west—was re-

ported here as hopeful of remaining non-belligerent after closing down an Axis-controlled Arab organization. Spanish newspapers also give prominence to Berlin re-

ports that Nahas Pasha, the new

Prime Minister of Egypt, has warned Britain against meddling in Egypt- ian internal affairs.

Both the British and the Germans accused each other of intrigue, in-

citing the Arabs to violence, in their versions of the rioting.

Axis agents were blamed in Lon- don, where reports said the riots were pre-arranged and that some of the demonstrating Arabs arrived on the scene with baskets of stones to hurl at the British consulate and business houses.

Organized Riots Charged. Britons tied the outburst to Axis

effort* to create unrest among the Moslems all along the Mediter- ranean shore from the Strait to Sues. One British source said the bomb probably was placed in the luggage of British diplomats with the Intention that it go off after reaching the legation and that the riots probably were organized to place the onus on the British for the dockside disaster..

The German radio called the riots a mass demonstration of “indignation about the explosion caused by the British” and added:

"It must not be presumed that Spain is accepting this latest Brit- ish affront lying down. The indignation of the people of Tangier is as great as that of Spain, which is both sick and tired of constantly recurring British provocations.”

If Spain allowed it, Germany could use her soil as the jumping off place for a direct assault on Gi- braltar, Britain’s guardian of the Western Mediterranean, and across the strait into Northwest Africa, threatening South America and the South Atlantic.

Reserves Called Out In French Morocco

RABAT, French Morocco, Feb. 9 (rP).—Extraordinary police measures

were taken yesterday throughout this French protectorate, with reserves called out particularly to prevent “night attacks.” The measures were announced following the bomb incident of Tangier.

Heavy penalties were announced for the attacks by night (presumably directed at potential outbreaks by the Moslem population). These included death and life imprison- ment at hard labor. Urgent procedure was established for courts which will try the Cases in special sessions.

Survivors of Tanker Sunk Off Delaware Laud Enemy Skipper

Captain of Submarine Permits Crew of 37 To Escape Shelling

Special Dispatch to Tht Star.

LEWES. Del., Feb. 9—Surviv- ors of the American tanker China Arrow expressed the conviction here today that their ship and two other recent victims were

destroyed by the same enemy submarine in nearby Atlantic coast waters.

This raider, in the opinion of Capt. Paul H. Browne. 46. of New York City, Is commanded by a "pretty decent skipper” who refrained from shelling the torpedoed ships until their crews had cleared away in lift- coats

Telling his story in the Lewes Coast Guard Station, where he and his crew of 36 were brought ashore by the Coast Guard after spending 56 hours in three open boats, Capt. Browne said three oil tanks were ruptured and the ship set afire by two torpedoes which struck about 11:15 ajn. Thursday.

Capt. Browne and Radio Operator Kenneth W. Maynard. 20, of Bell- ingham, Wash., remained on board the settling tanker for 45 minutes while the submarine circled so near

they could see the men in her conning tower. The two Americans were trying to get the damaged radio in operation.

Raider Withheld Fire. The raider, however, withheld fire.

The other members of the tanker * crew had pulled away in three boats, and No. 2 boat, under command of First Mate William D Sinnett of Brooklyn, was standing by the sinking tanker to pick up the captain and radio man.

At 12 noon the two men cut a line of rigging, made it fast on deck and slid down to the waiting boat. No sooner were they clear, Capt. Browne said, than the submarine started pouring shells into the tanker. Fif- teen shells were fired from 500 feet and the China Arrow slid under by the stern at 12:15 pm.

The ship was the 21st victim officially announced by United States, British and Canadian sources since January 12 when the present Axis submarine campaign in American waters began.

The China Arrow's sister ship, the India Arrow, was sunk Wednesday night and the freighter San Gil went down at midnight Tuesday.

In all three attacks the raider withheld shell fire until life boats could be launched and rowed to a safe distance.

Capt. Browne said the “sea wa* dead calm" when his lifeboats pulled away. The raider fired from point-blank range.

“The gunners could easily have shelled or machine-gunned u*." Capt. Browne said, “but they seemed to have a pretty decent skipper.

“I’ll give the commander credit for that. They did not touch the men in the lifeboats. They did not talk to us. They just hung around until we were clear and then they began shelling."

Capt. Browne lashed his three lifeboats together and undertook to keep them near the scene of the sinking in the hope that radio signal* he and Maynard had sought to send would bring help.

Some of the crew were lightly clad, so those who had warmer outfits traded around with the others until everybody had about the same. Capt. Browne gave his overcoat to a crew member and their situation was not bad until Friday, when it began to rain.

“It rained all day,” said the captain, “and we were pretty damned wet and miserable. We had to bail and bail and there was still 2 inches of water in the boat.”

High Tribute to Men. He paid high tribute to the nerve

of his men. “If we had had a pack of cards we could have played.” he said. Nobody was afraid and all were certain that they would be picked up.-

Friday night they sang and wise- cracked, while the captain sent up 1

parachute flares at regular intervals, flares that bum with a red light

and are lowered by a tiny schute attached.

The great question was whether the shells would hold out until rescue arrived.

They were sighted Saturday. Small patrol planes and other air and surface forces located them and signaled that help was coming. Meanwhile the tea roughened, making the situation of the three small boats more dangerous. It was 8:20 pm. when an inshore patrol vessel came alongside them.

"The weather was worsening every minute,” said Capt. Browne, "and we owe our lives to the men of the Navy and Coast Guard who comprise the inshore patrol.”

Four Go to Hospital. They were landed at the Lewes

Coast Guard station at 5:30 am.,

??here they were given hot break- asts. Warm clothing was distrib-

uted to them by the Red Cross disaster crew headed by the Rev. Nelson W. Rlghtmyer. Four who had been injured were taken to the Beebe Hospital, AH had suffered somewhat by the cold and exposure.

But they were not down-hearted. A youngster of the crew expressed their general attitude when he complained that, since he had lost his papers in the sinking it would be a whole month before he could get to sea again. That was the worst thing about it, as far as he was concerned.

Among the injured was Benjamin L. Logan, a seaman from Kansas City, who climbed off the rescue ship and walked several hundred feet before it was discovered his hip was fractured.

Oregon Will Register Woman Power for War Br th* Ai«oel»t*d Pr»««.

PORTLAND. Oreg., Feb. 8—Six thousand volunteer workers will start a house-to-house survey of Oregon woman power next Monday.

While men from 20 to 44, inclu- sive, sign up for the military draft that day, women will be registered for wartime jobs.

By March 1, three weeks before England completes its registration of women, the Oregon Board for the Mobilization of Labor expects to have a complete catalogue of the sk(lls and abilities of every woman over 18 years of age.

Women will not be required to pledge work, but they will tell interviewers of jobs they have held and whether they will be available for full or part-time work.

One immediate need for woman

power is in the farm fields, where a labor shortage endangers what is expected to be a record food crop.

Hershey Puts Draft Choice Responsibility Up to Hollywood

Rules Film Industry Essential to National Health, Safety, Interest Although ruling that “the mo-

tion picture industry is an activity essential in certain instances to the national, health, safety and interest and in other instances to war production,” Brig. Gen. Lewis B. Her- shey, national selective service director, has left the responsibility for determining occupational defe ments in this field squarely with the industry and California local draft boards, spokesmen in his office said today.

Gen. Hershey’s statement of policy was made in reply to an inquiry from Lowell Mellett, co-ordinator of Government films and Government liaison officer with the film industry. Mr. Mellett had written that in the cases of some actors, directors, writers, producers, sound men and other technicians, their services are considered indispensable at certain times.

Gen. Hershey agreed in effect, but added that “the responsibility of making claims for deferment is on the motion picture industry and determination of necessary men is one for local boards.”

Office associates explained that national headquarters considers that educational and constructive ’films, as well as special films produced by the industry for Government use are clearly within the scope of national health, safety and interest, and, as such, constitute grounds for certain draft deferments within the Industry.

The Associated Press reported from Hollywood that Frank Free- man. president of the Association of Producers, issued the following comment on the rulings:

“Determination of those men whose work is indispensable will be carefully made in each individual case.”

Singapore <Continued From First Page.)

In event of defeat. They had to throw the Japanese out or accept death. There was no talk of sur- render.

Penetration Made Eastward. While the roar of artillery re-

verberated across the island sun- scorched Australians. Indians. Brit- ish, Scottish Highlanders and hastily recruited Chinese rushed to mop up the forces which had gained a foothold. But it was admitted the Jap- anese jungle fighters had succeeded in making penetrations eastward.

Japanese artillery, thickly'planted along the opposite shore, blasted the defenders’ positions and raked the Island as far as Singapore City itself. while Japanese dive bombers patrolled the skies and strafed the roads.

British artillerymen dueled with the Japanese batteries, endeavoring to knock out enemy guns.

British hurricanes fought des- perate engagements in the skies with some success against the numbers of Japanese planes which sought to dominate the air.

Other air raiders appeared over

Singapore City, on the southern side of the island, but these were met by British fighters which destroyed 3 planes, probably destroyed 3 more and damaged 13.

Today's air victories were said to hp.ve brought to 73 the number of Japanese planes definitely shot down over Singapore. In addition, 27 more were listed as “probably” shot down.

Defenders Flee, Japs Say. The Toklo radio, relaying dis-

patches which it said originated with land forces on Singapore, pic- tured the defenders as in flight along the highways leading toward the southern part of the island.

One report said the first landing was signaled at 12:16 a.m. <1:16 p.m„ E.*W. T.) yesterday with a green flare which was followed in four minutes by a red flare to sig- nify the completion of that operation.

The Japanese estimated the defending forces at 20.000 men. More trustworthy indications were that at least 60,000 men were on Singapore Island to oppose the headlong rush by the Japanese troops who had pushed the length of the Malayan mainland to Johore Strait since the start of the war in the Pacific.

Barrage Protects Landing. The Japanese landing was effected

from boats under cover of an intense artillery barrage between Sungei Kranji and Pasir Laba, west of the narrow causeway which formerly linked Singapore with the Malayan mainland.

“Our forward troops were pushed back in some places and there has been some enemy infiltration east- wards,” the Singapore communique acknowledged.

There were no Indications of attempted invasion thrusts elsewhere along Johore Strait, but the British said Japanese bombers and fighters had been pounding their defenses everywhere since daybreak.

Presumably the Japanese used invasion barges to cross the narrow

strait, the western reaches of which are less than a mile wide in some

places. Barrage Began Yesterday.

The assault came just 10 days after the last British forces had been withdrawn from the Malayan mainland where for six weeks they had fought a losing struggle as the Japanese drove more than 400 miles down the peninsula from the Thai border.

The artillery bombardment preceding the assault, in anticipation of which the British had been fe- verishly mustering every resource on the island, began at dawn yesterday and continued unabated throughout the day and night.

From guns and mortars of all calibers the Japanese rained steel on British defense positions Wont- ing the 35-mile-long strait.

Japanese warplanes ranged overhead, unloading tons of bombs and screaming down to machine-gun every sign of movement on roads for some distance behind the front.

After launching their bombardment the Japanese, in an apparent attempt to trick Singapore's defenders out of position and pave the way for the main attack in the west, feinted suddenly yesterday at the British right flank, landing troops on tiny Palau Ubin island at the eastern end of Johore Strait.

Although Palau Ubin is only about a half mile from Singapore island •t some points, there was no indi-

JAPS INVADE SINGAPORE ISLAND—The Japanese invasion of Singapore Island was launched today along a 10-mile front with its right flank on Pasir Laba (1), its left flank on the Kranji River (3) and pivoting from the Berih River inlet (2), where Johore Strait is narrow and onlj 3 or 4 feet deep. Earlier the Japanese had occupied Palau Ubin (4), tiny island oft the northwest shore of Singapore. —A. P. Wirephoto.

cation that the Japanese were pressing home the assault from there.

Before the British retreated from the Malayan mainland Palau Ubin was a strongly garrisoned fortress, with 14-inch guns guarding the approaches to the great Singapore naval base situated a few miles to the west on Johore Strait.

The Japanese, however, apparently found Palau Ubin abandoned, for the communique announcing its occupation made no mention of re-

sistance. Japanese Report.

A Domei, Japanese news agency correspondent, reported from Johore Bahru today that the British defenders of Singapore were falling back from their outer ring of fortifications commanding the Straits of Johore under fierce blows of Jap- anese forces on the fortress island.

"Dispatches from Singapore Is- land said British troops have begun to flee down highways to Singapore in the southern part of the island," the broadcast declared.

“The Japanese full dress offensive against the mighty British Far East- ern base got under way to a thun- derous start late last night when Japanese batteries mounted on the north shore suddenly cut loose with a withering, continuous barrage pav- ing the way for the landing operations.

“The first indication that Japa- nese ’troops came into contact with Singapore Island came at 12:16 a.m. (1:16 pm., E. W. T., yesterday) when a green flare appeared from the island, signaling that Japanese land-

ing forces had reached the island and which was followed 4 minutes later by a red flare signifying com-

pletion of landing operations. Second Unit Lands.

"A reporter then said the initial landing party was driving toward undisclosed heights. As Japanese guns blazed away without response from the enemy batteries, word came at 12:25 a.m. that a second Japanese unit closely co-op>erating with engineers also had completed a landing in another part of the island.

“Since the early morning of Feb- ruary 5 the roar of Japanese gunfire continued to become fiercer and fiercer and reached its pitch early yesterday morning while waves of army planes roared over Singapore raining high explosives and defying an intensive enemy anti-aircraft barrage.”

The reporter said that while big Japanese guns pounded the Singa- pore fortress, 28 out of 38 oil tanks were aflame, spouting columns of black smoke and spreading fire.

Shipping (Continued From First Page.)

tor shall be guided by schedules transmitted to him by the chairman of the War Production Board pre- scribing the priority of movement of such commodities and materials.”

Order Had Been Forcast. The shipping executive order,

which states the duties of the new

agency in five typewritten pages, has been expected in view of the Anglo-American three-point pooling program announced by the White House two weeks ago. That program provided for a combined raw ma-

terials board, a munitions assignments board and a combined shipping adjustment board.

"In the discharge of his responsi- bilities,” the President said in the executive order, "the administrator shall collaborate with existing military, naval and civil departments and agencies of the Government which perform wartime functions connected with transportation over-

seas, in order to secure the most effective utilization of shipping In the prosecution of the war.”

President Roosevelt issued the order under authority given him by the War Powers Act of December. The highlight of the tasks assigned to Admiral Land are these:

He will control the operation, purchase, charter, requisition and use of all ocean vessels under the flag or control of the United States with the exception of Army, Navy and Coast Guard ships and ships in coast-wise, inter-coastal and inland transportation. These last categories are under the control of the director of the Office of De- fense Transportation, Joseph East- man.

To Deal With British. He will represent the United States

Government in dealing with the British Ministry of War Transport and with similar shipping agencies of nations allied with the United States in the prosecution of the war. in matters related to the use of

shipping. He will maintain current data on

the availability of shipping in existence and under construction and furnish these data on request to the War and Navy Department and other Federal agencies concerned with the import or export of war materials and commodities.

The executive order was so broadly worded, in fact, as to provide apparently for virtual transfer of the Maritime Commission to the War Shipping Administration for the duration of the war. \

Dies to Demand Japs Be Moved 500 Miles In From West Coast

Fifth Column Awaits Tokio Order to Strike, Says 'Yellow Paper' ,

By th* Associated Press.

The Dies Committee, asserting that a Japanese fifth column awaits only Tokio’s orders to strike on the Pacific Coast, plans to demand that all Japanese be uprooted from West Coast States and interned at least 500 miles inland.

"Shinto temples still operate, propaganda outlets still disseminate

propaganda material and Japanese, both alien and American cititzens, still spy for the Japanese government,” the committee says in the

first draft of a "yellow paper” which it probably will make public in about two weeks.

Chairman Dies said yesterday Jus- tice Department orders ousting Jap- anese from certain Pacific Coast areas of vital defense importance had not been completely effective. Under "protection of civil rights,” he said. Japanese were making ready espionage such as smoothed the way for the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The committee's tentative report says Japanese still live near oil wells, aviation plants, pipe lines, tunnels and aqueducts.

It adds that during the Pearl Harbor attack Japanese blocked streets with furniture, drove trucks into military airplanes and disabled automobiles of Army and Navy officers.

Figures are not available on the number of Japanese living within 500 miles of the Pacific Coast but the Justice Department estimates there are 200,000 Japanese, Ger- mans and Italians in California. Oregon, Washington. Nevada. Ari- zona, Montana. Utah and Idaho. More than half of these enemy aliens are Japanese.

Parting Lot (Continued From First Page.)

ployes of many Government departments could park their cars there.”

Mr. Dirksen further suggested that a conference be sought with Secretary of Interior Ickes for approval of the plan. Chairman Ran- dolph said the conference would be asked.

Bill to Get Hearings. After a protracted discussion Mr.

Dirksen's bill to give the Utilities Commission control over parking rates in garages and on parking lots was referred to the Streets and Parks Subcommittee for hearings. This subcommittee headed by Representative Schulte, Democrat, of Indiana.

Mr. Dirksen explained the legislation is needed to curtail "excessive” charges by some garages and parking lots. He said since introduction of the bill he had received many complaints of overcharges.

A checkup, Mr. Dirksen declared, showed there are 333 licensed parking lots and garages In the District. With 222,800 registered motor vehicles in the District, plus those coming into the city daily from nearby Maryland and Virginia, he said, there is an acute shortage of parking facilities. He said the public is in a position where it must pay any fee charged.

Chairman Gregory Hankin of the Utilities Commission gave his in- dorsement to the “policy” of the legislation, but proposed several changes in the language.

One would remove a provision to let the District Commissioners review and approve regulations of the commission affecting parking lots and garages. Mr. Hankin said he believed actions of a quasi-judicial agency like the Utilities Commis- sion should not be subjected to review by a "political” agency like the Board of Commissioners.

Representative Bates, Republican, of Massachusetts, opposed placing parking rates control in the Utilities Commission. He argued it was a “picayune” problem which more

properly belonged to the Board of Commissioners. Mr. Schulte agreed with him.

Mr. Hankin said the Utilities Commission.had plenty of work to do, and his feelings would not be "hurt” if the job is given to the Commissioners.

Dr. Van Mook Calls Java Good Place to Start Drive B? the Associated Preii.

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 9—Dr. Hubertus Van Mook, Lieutenant Governor General of the Nether- lands Indies, said yesterday that “Java offers many advantages as a starting point for the Allied advance which will eventually win the war.”

“We will fight for every foot of the Island of Java,” Dr. Van Mook told interviewers on his arrival from a series of Washington conferences on the war in the Pacific.

“We have great resources, many fine harbors and bases, plenty of labor—everything that is needed as a base of operations. We need planes, supplies of every kind, but first of all—airplanes.

"Will we hold the Indies? “Well—it win be touch and go.

I hope it will be touch!” “We have known,” he said, “that

it would be impossible for us, with our comparatively small forces, to hold all the islands of our archi- pelago, so we have fought for time. We have fought a delaying action, have defended each point to the limit, then have destroyed everything that would be of value to the enemy.”

Bernardo Attolico Dies; Italy's Envoy at Vatican Br tht Associated Press.

ROMS (from Italian broadcasts), Feb. 9.—Bernardo Attolico, Italian Ambassador to the Vatican, died today in Rome.

Attolico. 52, who replaced Dino Alfleri as Ambassador to the Vatican in 1940, was one of Italy's seasoned diplomats and was credited with having supervised much of the pre- liminary work which resulted in joining Rome and Berlin in the Axis.

He had served as Ambassador to Moscow, provisional high commissioner for Danzig, Ambassador to Berlin and, at home, as commissar general for financial and economic affairs. He was Intimately acquainted with Hitler, Goering and other leaders of the Reich and carried a number of personal messages from Hitler to Mussolini.

Attolico visited the United States in 1919 as a delegate to the Inter- national Trade Conference in At- lantic City.

Shifting of Workers Held U. S. Responsibility

The A. P. L. said yesterday that the responsibility for transfer and placement of workers because of the war conversion of industries should “rest in the hands of the United States Employment Service.”

Boris Shishskin, A. P. L. economist, writing in the A. P. L. publication, the American Federationist, also asserted that "whenever transfers to other localities must be made, just compensation should be provided for any travel such transfers necessitate.”

He also urged immediate action by the Government to provide temporary subsidies for workers made idle while factories are undergoing change-overs.

Boy Scouts Honored In Special Services At D. C. Churches

Catholic Troop Leaders Get Medals; Protestant Groups Hold Programs

Spiritual celebrations of Boy Scout Week, in observance of the 32d anniversary of American scout- ing, were held in Protestant and Catholic churches here and in nearby areas yesterday as national "Boy Scout Sunday" was commemorated.

The Catholic observance was at St. Joseph’s Church, Second and C streets N.E.,‘where more than 500

scouts, relatives and friends gathered to hear the Rev. Edward A. Duff, retired chief of naval chaplains, call for all-out effort to defeat the Axis. Flag waving and sentimentality must be put aside in favor of increased production if ultimate victory is to be achieved, he said.

Before the service there was a parade of Boy Scouts, local veterans organizations, Catholic War Vet- erans, ladies’ auxiliaries and the Holy Comforter Boys’ Band.

Medals Are Presented. "With God as our leader, justice

as our guiding virtue, charity as the shining quality of our conduct, we cannot fail. The sacrifices we are

called on to make will render us a

stronger and better Nation,” Father Ddff declared. If all Christians stand behind the banner of Christ, he said, "all the powers of the dictators combined would melt into utter mist."

The Archbishop Curley medals for distinguished Scout service were

presented Capt. J. Walter McDon- ald, Medical Corps, U. S. A., retired, scoutmaster of Troop 93 at Sacred Heart Church, and George H. Palmer, scoutmaster of Troop 95 at Blessed Sacrament Church. Pres- entations were made by the Rev. Aloysius E. Fuller, S. J., pastor of St. Aloysius Church. The Rev. Ron- ald J. Fannon, archdiocesan chap- plain of Catholic Scouts, was in charge of arrangements, assisted by the Right Rev. Msgr. Edward P. Mc- Adams, pastor of St. Joseph's.

One of the Protestant church celebrations was held last night in the Ninth Street Christian Church, Ninth and D streets N_E., where more than 40 members of Theodore Roosevelt Troop 10, one of the Na- tion's oldest groups, gathered to recite the Scout oath and law. Wayne Roberts, son of the Rev. Carroll C. Roberts, pastor of the church, read the Ten Command- ments. The minister, an Eagle Scout and former scoutmaster, spoke mi the “Law of Returns.”

Rev. Roberts Gives Sermon. He said the.boys should apply

themselves physically to serve God and their country; apply themselves In knowledge through hard work and asserted the “Law of Returns” Is also true in the moral realm. Pounded in 1911, there have been but six scoutmasters for the troop, and since 1929 Leonard L. Sherfey has been serving in this capacity. Robert Middleton, troop chairman, led the group in prayer.

Justice Bolitha J. Laws of District Court told scouts of the Rising Sun Division that “in these days of stress, good citizenship is absolutely essen-

tial,” and stressed the importance of individual responsibility. The meeting was held in the Garden Memorial Presbyterian Church. 1718 Minnesota avenue S.E. The gathering was attended by Division Com- missioner George Skinner and the assistant commissioner, the Rev. Philip Goertz, pastor of the church.

The Rev. Dr. Edward O. Clark, pastor of Chevy Chase Baptist Church, gave a three-point outline for Troop 54 on what he believed President Lincoln would stand for were he here today. He would "call upon us today to stand firm for the right, for freedom, and against every tyranny both abroad and at home.” Dr. Clark added he thought Lincoln would uphold tolerance and understanding of others and maintain his faith in God.

$629.66 Tax Refund Credited MacArthur For '41 Overpayment

$54,006,883 Returned To Thousands by Revenue Bureau


The Bureau of Internal Revenue reported to Congress today that It has credited $629.66 to Gen. Doug- las Mac Arthur for overpayment of taxes for 1941.

His name was buried deep in a list of thousands who received a total of $54,006,883 in refunds. The bulky document is required for in-

spection by Congress. The general's check went to him as executor for the estate of Mrs. Mary P. Mac Ar- thur, his mother.

The largest individual refund—two checks totaling $253.957—went to George P. Jonty, Chicago industrialist, while Arthur Curtis James, New York railroad executive, was second with $185,000, and Aldus C. Higgins, Massachusetts industrialist, third with $148,135.32.

Corporation Refunds. The largest refund for Income

and miscellaneous taxes was turned over to the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Co. of New York City, a total of $1,814,364.99. The New York Life Insurance Co. recovered $1,479,704.20, and the Brown and Williamson To- bacco Co. of Louisville, Ky„ and Pet- ersburg, Va., recouped $1,324,407.56.

Perhaps they wouldn't have missed it, but:

Heiress Doris Duke Cromwell drew $7,169.96; Marshall Field, publisher and merchant, $531.23; Edsel B. Ford. $533,73; Harvey Firestone, jr., of Akron, Ohio, $533.65; New York Banker Harvey D. Gibson, $533.65.

Parts of the file read like the social register. Cornelius Vander- bilt Whitney, New York socialite, for example, got a refund of $533.82. California’s movie colony was represented, too. Ina Claire was listed for a refund of $98,205. Fred As- taire drew $721 and Mary Boland $471.

$1,756 to Explorer Byrd. The Government sent back $1,-

756.05 to Explorer Richard E. Byrd— to Boston, rather than his South Pole address. Tom Yawkey, owner of the Boston Red Sox. got $533, which he probably would like to spend as down payment on a prom- ising young pitcher with a dozen de- pendents.

A few of the others: Former Jockey Earl Sande, $1,060.19; Lease- Lend Administrator Edward R. Stettinius, $533.16; Frank G. Allen, former Governor of Massachusetts, $1,040.77; Hattie Carnegie, Inc., New York milliner. $1,749.86; Musical Comedy Star Beatrice Lillie Peel, $3,733.13; Bernard M. Baruch, Jr., of New York, $1,136.41, and Myron C. Taylor, who served as the President’s personal representative at the Vatican, $1,809.

But the Government had plenty to compensate for the pain of paying out. For the same period In which it refunded $54,006,883, reported Chairman O’Leary of the House Committee on Executive De- partment Expenditures, the Internal Revenue Bureau made additional assessments of $383,320,585.

Japs' Drive Is Stalled, And Possibly Broken, In Northern Burma

British Forces Bolstered By Crack Chinese and Fresh Indian Troops

Br th* AuodsUd fiw.

RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 9.— Crack Chinese fighters and fresh Indian troops today bolstered the British on the Salween River front, where Japan’s drive toward

Rangoon and China’s last gateway to the sea was stalled in

Northern Burma and,* possibly, broken.

The “reasoned optimism” which Oen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell, the

United .Nations’ generalissimo in the

Southwest Pacific, voiced after his

Just-disclosed second visit to the

Burma front was reflected even more

forcibly by Lt. Oen. T. J. Hutton, the British commander in Burma.

With the Japanese still stationary a week after capturing Moulmeln

and falling repeatedly to get an

effective foothold across the Sal- ween or cripple Rangoon as a base by air attack, Gen. Hutton declared:

“We are in a far sounder position to call a halt to the Japanese than before."

Reviewed Situation. Gen. Wavell flew from hia Java

headquarters In the Netherlands Indies to talk with officer* and men

on the Moulmein front within ear- shot of enemy cannon and reviewed the whole situation In Southeast Asia with Gen. Hutton.

Much weight was attached to the presence of large Chinese forces fighting alongside Britain's lm- perials In Burma.

Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, until recently Britain’s Ambassador at Chungking, speaking over the Cal- cutta radio, predicted a "big push" by American, British tnd Chinese troops. His reference to American forces was not explained.

Ma], Gen. Lancelot Dennis, head of the British military mission In Chungking, said "large contingents” of Chinese troops which reached Burma weeks ago “are now playing an important part in the defense of the country” and "their numbers have recently been increased and are being increased."

Except for some patrol activity near Japanese-held Paan, on the east bank of the Salween about 30 miles north of Moulmein, where the British thwarted some attempted Japanese crossings, most of the week end activity was in the air.

Rangoon Bombed 3 Hours. In before-dawn bomber assaults

for the fourth successive day on

Rangoon yesterday, the Japanese sent waves of planes over Burma’s chief port for three hours at 15- mlnute intervals, but an R. A. F

communique reported only sUght material damage.

(A Toklo broadcast said Jap- anese planes sank two ships docked at Martaban, across the wide mouth of the Salween from Moulmein, set fire to military in- stallations there and attacked trains and British troops to the north.) Maj. Sir Reginald Hugh Dorman-

Bmith, Governor of Burma, acknowledged Rangoon’s vulnerability to air attack, but he declared there was

no Immediate threat to this city from the Salween front and that government offices would remain here.

Three Japanese spies have been eaught and shot by police, British military headquarters announced last night.

Extensive Rangoon Raids

Reported by Tokio (The following dispatch was sent by

an enemy country whose motive in re-

leasing news is-likely to be propaganda. Axis claims should be credited only whan confirmed by American or Allied toureei>

TOKIO (from Japanese broad-

tasts). Feb. 9 (£»).—Japanese bombing planes carried out extensive raids on the Rangoon airfield early today as well as on military objectives at Martaban at the mouth of the Salween River, Domei dispatches reported.

More than 50 planes were destroyed in raids over Sumatra Feb- ruary 7, additional dispatches said, when Japanese bomber and fighter formations attacked "in complete defiance of the N. E. I. airforce” at Pelembang and Pakanbaroe.

"Winging their way over the sea toward Pelembang,” Domei aore-

spondents said, "Japanese raiders shot down four out of six Blenheims which attempted to intercept them over Berhala Island, 125 miles south of Singapore.

"Japanese aircraft then brought down 15 Hurricanes, 2 Lockheed* and 6 Blenheims over Pelembang after which they dove down on the airfield destroying 16 Hurricanes, Blenheims and Lockheeds on the ground.

"Concentrating their bombs on 14 other planes on the ground, the raiders set fire to at least six other planes. Meanwhile, another Jap- anese squadron which swooped down on Pakanbaroe the same day destroyed one Lockheed and two Blenheims by machine-gun fire.”

Domei, Japanese news agency, re-

ported today from the Burma war- front that Japanese warplanes had bombed and wiped out a large Brit- ish force retreating along the west bank of the Salween River, north of Moulmeln.

Domei In a dispatch from an

undisclosed base reported that Jap- anese Navy planes sank "a large type enemy vessel” yesterday In Gasper Strait, between Bangka Island and Billiton Island off South- east Sumatra.

The Tokio newspaper Mlyako announced It was beginning a drive for funds to purchase and transport Japanese cherry trees to be planted around memorials to Jap- anese war dead in newly occupied southern territories.

3 Americans and Jap Plead Innocent to

Alien Agent Charge Four Accused of Acting As U. S. Propagandists For Tokio Government

! Pleas of innocent were entered by

three Americans and a Japanese alien at their arraignment today before Justice T. Alan Goldsboro ugh In District Court on charges of con-

spiracy to violate the Foreign Agents Registration Act.

The defendants are Ralph Town- send of Lake Geneva, Wls., former editor and contributor to Scribner’s Commentator; David Warren Ry- der and Frederick Vincent Williams, San Francisco publicity men, and Tsutomu Obana, former secretary of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce in San Francisco, who has been in a detention camp.

Representing Mr. Ryder as counsel was Joseph A. Cantrel, who said that Elisha Hanson, attorney for the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association, would be an associate counsel. Samuel Beach represented Mr. Williams, while Mr. Townsend had no counsel. Attorney William A. Porter told Justice Goldsborough he had been requested by San Fran- cisco attorneys to obtain counsel for Mr. Obana. /

The three Americans are at liberty on $5,000 bond.

The Government charges that the four defendants distributed propaganda In this country on behalf of Japan. They are accused of working in connection with Japanese Committee on Trade and Informa- tion, with headquarters in San Francisco. This committee was the agent of the Japanese consulate general in San Francisco and re-

ceived more than $170,000 from the consulate, it is charged.

Representing the Government are Special Assistants to the Attorney General Albert E. Arent and Arthur B. Caldwell.

There are about 200,000 other Polish civilians in Southern Russia and negotiations are under way with Moscow to get relief to them. Many of them, it was reported, had to sell their clothing to get food.

U. S. Weighs Vichy Reply On Aid Reaching Axis

An explanation from Vichy of reports that French aid is reaching Axis forces in Africa in various forms was under consideration by the United States today.

Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles said at a press conference that a reply had been received from Vichy to an official inquiry made by this Government on the basis of published reports that the Axis African campaign was receiving effective assistance from the French.

He said, however, that he could not discuss the matter any further beyond saying that it was under consideration.

British Destroyer Sunk LONDON, Feb. 9 (A5).—The de-

stroyer Matabele has been sunk, the Admiralty announced last night. The 1,870-ton Matabele carried a normal complement of 190 and cost about $1,800,000.

pare this country for the new order of Adolf Hitler.”

He said she was constantly In touch with Hans Thomsen, former German charge d'affaires in this country; Fritz Wiedemann, former German consul in San Francisco and intimate of Hitler; Fritz Wagner and his wife, Bemhardine Wagner, minor attaches of the German Em-

bassy here. Intermediary Named.

Often Miss Ingalls visited with the Wagners here, the prosecutor charged. Miss Julia Kraus of 2829 S street S.E. often acted as intermediary between Miss Ingalls and officials of the German government, he said, and Miss Ingalls sometimes stayed at Miss Kraus’ apartment in Washington and through her re-

ceived money from the embassy. "During the time she was receiv-

ing money, she was malting speeches under the auspices of various organizations throughout the country,” said Mr. Andrews. “She would talk on whatever issue the organization was interested in, interspersing her speeches with quotations from ‘Mein Kampf’ and otherwise spreading German propaganda.”

Selection of the jury for the trial before Justice James W. Morris con-

sumed the morning session. Both Mr. Andrews and Defense Counsel James Reilly questioned prospective jurors closely on possible connection with isolationist or anti-isola- tionls organizations. Several jurors disqualified themselves with the admission that they were "prejudiced” against Axis powers.

Mines Bureau Urges Use Of U. S. Manganese Ores By the Associated Press.

Secretary of Interior Ickes announced yesterday that the Bureau of Mines had proposed a $38,000,000 program to utilize the low-grade, domestic manganese for America's war-time steel industry.

The Nation normally imports from Southern Asia, Brazilian and Cuban ports more than 90 per cent of its manganese requirements, officials said, adding that they feared a reduction in shipping might result in a deficiency in 1943 without additional processing of domestic ores.

Pointing out that approximately 11,500„000 tons of domestic ores could be produced annually, the bureau proposed that either private industry or the Government immediately build 12 plants in eight Western ahd Midwestern States to apply newly-discbvered processes for utilizing the domestic output. All of the plants, the bureau told Mr. Ickes, could be in operation at the end of the year, and many at the end of nine months.

Bullets Cripple Plane Near Defense Plant; Passenger Wounded

Girl, 15, and Pilot Also Imperiled by Volley In Illinois

B7 the Associated Press.

GRANITE CITY. 111.. Feb. 9.—A burst of gunfire ended the first airplane ride of Delbert Henson and 15-year-old Beverly Ann Keith, leaving Mr. Henson critically wounded.

He waq given several blood transfusions.

The plane was flying near the restricted defense area at Alton, HI., which houses the vast Western Cartridge Co. plant.

Soldiers from Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and company police patrol the area. Lt. J. A. Vilhauer, in charge of the Army guards, and company officials refused to coment.

Investigation Ordered.

Army authorities at Jefferson Barracks said merely that a report of the shooting had been sent to 7th Corps Area headquarters at Omaha and an Investigation would be made there.

Delbert Richardson. Oranlte City flying Instructor who was piloting the plane, gave this account of the Incident:

Mr. Henson and Miss Keith, taking their first plane ride, asked him to fly over the girl's home at Alton. He refused because he feared lt was too close to the restricted area.

He then turned the plane at an altitude of 1,100 feet at a point he believed was 8 or 10 miles from the restricted sone.

As he banked, the first of seven shots hit the ship. One pierced Mr. Henson's hip and stomach. An- other penetrated the gasoline tank, forcing Mr. Richardson to switch to an emergency supply.

Flies Back to Airport. Mr. Henson slumped against Miss

Keith groaning. Mr. Richardson, fearing another salvo, decided against an emergency landing despite his passenger’s Injuries and flew his crippled ship back to the airport.

Seven of the bullets struck the plane's under carriage, wings and fuselage. One of them pierced the pilot's chair, only an inch from Mr. Richardson’s body.

Russia (Continued From First Page.)

said the Rumanian captives fought German prisoners. They com-

plained that the Oerman com- manders had assured them of artillery and Oerman Infantry support which did not materialise.

Detachment Kills 179. On the Kalinin front northwest of

Moscow, a guerrilla detachment led by a "grandfather" attached a Oer- man rearguard detachment, killing 179 officers and men, capturing five anti-tank guns and other material.

The Soviets claimed they captured an order of the day of the 290th Oerman Infantry regiment which said:

“Lately a number of instances have accurred showing a decline in discipline and a lowering of morale of the unit. During fighting, positions are surrendered prematurely without good reason. In addition, arms are abandoned and wounded are left behind. On march, men singly and even in groups have been leaving the marching column without permission, abandoning their arms. Officers must put an end to this situation by all means at their disposal.”

The Russians were using Ameri- can-made planes against Oerman battalions whose massed artillery has lost its sting.

Operate in Various Areas. The American-made planes were

said to be operating on various sections of the long-snowbound front.

(The British radio, heard by C. B. S., quoted a Russian broadcast announcing the Red Army had recaptured the town of Kras- nograd, 60 miles southwest of Kharkov and an important Junc- tion of the Kharkov-Dnlepero- petrovsk and Odessa Railway. This report Indicated another advance for the Russians driving westward in the Donets area toward Dnieperopetrovsk.) The assertion that the celebrated

Oerman artillery no longer was a factor in the Donets and Ukraine fighting came from Col. O. Nadysev, who said the ammunition furnished each battery had been cut down until the mass fire which usually preceded an infantry attack had been eliminated.

Broad Power Given President Declared Handicap to Detense

Agency Failure Seen In American Council's Survey of Emergency

Br the Associated Brest. A study of “presidential powers

and national emergency” made public last night by the American Coun-

cil on Public Affairs declared that the concentration of powers in Pres-

ident Roosevelt’s hands during the defense emergency had handicapped the Nation’s armament program.

The study found that although “specific authority originally delegated to the President by Congress has been sub-delegated to various agencies, ultimate control resides in the hands of the Commander In Chief.

“His reluctance to relinquish au-

thority and place more responsibility upon his lieutenants.” it continued, “resulted in such wide span of control as to jeopardize efficiency of the defense effort."

Year’s Research Made. The study was made for the coun-

cil, a private research organization, by Dr. Albert Lee Sturm of the University of Michigan faculty. Dr. Sturm conducted a year’s research here under a co-operative fellowship of Duke University and Brook- ings Institution.

‘‘Threats of economic disaster during the early years of the Roose- velt administration prompted the passage of legislation by Congress vesting broad powers in the Presi- dent,” the study said.

"The outbreak of war In Europe In 1939 resulted In the delegation of additional powers to the executive for the purpose of strengthening national defense.

Greatest Power Granted. "These grants, supplemented by

the constitutional authority and previous delegations to the President. place more power in the hands of Franklin Delano Roosevelt than has ever been possessed by any of his predecessors in time of peace.”

Dr. Sturm distinguished between what he termed “constitutional dic- tatorship” and the methods of con- temporary European dictators, but held that "a long period of ab- solutism would tend to cause the formation of new habits and render restoration of constitutional government more difficult.”

101st Enemy Plane Credited to Americans Fighting Over Burma

Wreckage of Bomber Hit By Colorado Flyer Last Week Is Found

By tht Associated Brass. 'RANGOON, Burma, Feb. 9.—The

American Volunteer Group — the “flying tigers’’ of Burma's air defense*—was credited with It* 191st confirmed victory over the Japanese Air Force today with the discovery of a wrecked bomber which Robert Keaton of Manzanola, Colo., attacked February 3, but was not sure he had even damaged.

Keaton, former Colorado College fullback who left a naval bombing patrol assignment at 8an Diego to Join the volunteers, had been detailed to the ferry service in Burma until he got the feel of the Toma- hawks which he had not piloted previously.

Tried to Save Plane. When the Japanese raided the up-

country field, Keaton jumped into the cockpit of a lone Tomahawk to attempt to save It from destruction. He took it aloft and cruised for half an hour in a high altitude without helmet or oxygen equipment. He felt himself losing con-

sciousness and began to descend. On the way down he saw the only

remaining Japanese bomber 2,000 feet below apparently engaged In photographic reconnaissance. He switched on his firing mechanism and dived at the enemy with all his guns shooting.

Texan Is Killed.

Bob Neale of Seattle took over command of a squadron of the A. V. G. today, succeeding R. J. San- dell of 8&n Antonio, Tex., who was killed in an accident crash two days ago.

Sandell was killed after chalking up seven victories over the Japa- nese, five in two days. His Toma- hawk fighter plane had been damaged when a Japanese flyer committed suicide by diving onto the

plane s tall more than a week ago. It was parked on an airfield at the time.

The plane had been repaired and Sandell took it up for a test flight when it crashed.

Pacific War Council Will Sit in London, Curtin Declares

Australia Considering Strengthening of Representation Here

LONDON, Feb. 9.—The Ex- change Telegraph Agency re-

ported from Canbarra today that Australian Prime Minister John Curtin announced the establishment in London of a Pacific war council.

Mr. Curtin said Sir Earle Page, Australian representative In Lon- don. would be the dominion's member for the present.

Consideration is being given, he added, to strengthening Australian representation In Washington to provide an adequate link with the combined Chiefs of Staff Committee functioning there.

Informed sources in London were puzzled by the meaning of Mr. Curtin’s announcement since there had been no Information of the establishment here of such a council. In fact, it had been understood that it would sit In Washington.

His statement that Sir Earl* would represent Australia temporarily was taken as an indication that he might be referring to conferences of the British war cabinet.

Mr. Curtin said the establishment of the council in London had been agreed to because of the urgency of the Allied position in the Pacific.

“I am gratified to learn that air. Churchill has adopted a more ap- propriate title suggested by the Aus- tralian government,” he added, “and to receive the assurance from Mr. Churchill that It will deal not only with the A. B. D. A. area but with the whole Pacific situation.”

45 American Refugees Flee Ship in Harbor, See If Sunk by Japs

Group Tells Story After

Reaching Batavia From Sumatra

Bv GEORGE WELLER, Foreign Correspondent of The Star and

Chicago Daily News.

BATAVIA, Feb. 9— Forty-five American refugees from Malaya huddled for protection on the cliffs behind the seaport of Padang on

the western coast of Sumatra, saw

the Dutch motorship. on which their hopes of return to the United States depended, blasted by Jap- anese bombers a few minutes before sailing time. Trickling into Batavia yesterday after a week-long trip by bus and train across Sumatra, they told the story of the attack which made them destitute.

For several successive days Jap photographic planes had surveyed the port evidently calculating their prey and estimating its defenses.

Attacked by Seven Bombers. When the harbor roadsteads and

docks were judged to have been reached at the amplest point, seven

bombers arrived from the east without fighter escort and attacked from approximately a 3.000-foot level.

The Americans and 77 crewmen at the captain’s order fled the ship and

fought partial protection under the

cliffs with the townspeople. Nine attacks were made from different angles by bombers arranged In an

open V, the Japs taking 12 minutes to circle the barbor between attacks. Finally, three bombs hit the refugee ship, one on the deck, one down the funnel, the third down the hatch. Three more ships also were struck, one small freighter sinking.

Flames consumed all the passengers' and crews’ possessions except two trunks. Most of the passengers lost all except the clothing they wore. One destitute young widow with a child, whose husband died suddenly before the ship’s departure from Singapore, five weeks before, lost the body en route to burial in the United States.

Ship Bombed Again. The next Jap bombers, probably

based at Kuala Lumpur hardly 300 miles away, attacked again in two

flights of six to eight bombers without fighter escort. Six rebombed the refugee ship which had been towed to the middle of the harbor and was still blazing. Eight went to see and attacked other vessels fleeing the harbor.

An oil man, protagonist of this story, who had been aboard another vessel sunk a few days before, was thus made destitute twice within a week.

"I saved my passport this time," he telephoned your correspondent tri- umphantly. (Copyright, 1942. by Chicago Daily New*.)

Prisoners Relief Society Moves fo Harpers Ferry

To provide more space for war

activities the Prisoners Relief So- ciety has transferred Its headquarters from Washington to Harpers Perry, W. Va.

The organization, for more than a

quarter of a century, has occupied about 40 rooms at 1525 East Capitol street. It will retain a one-room office here.

The society has bought the Hill Top Hotel at Harpers Perry for its new Headquarters. It owns a 550- acre farm nearb/, so the move will bring closer together the activities of the organization.

One of its benefactors is planning to turn over to the society a 3,000- acre tract, with some buildings and

barns, aoout 13 mllM from Harpers Ferry.

The society has bought printing equipment, and plans to publish a monthly paper at Harpers Ferry, Dr. E. E. Dudding, a member of the Hoard of Active Managers, revealed In a letter to Director of Public Welfare Conrad Van Hynlng last week. He said the society is still In- terested In establishing a rehabili- tation farm project for the District.

New Training Chief Christopher O. Henderson, senior

agricultural economist for the Bu- reau of Agricultural Economics, with headquarters in Little Rock, Ark., has been named chief of Agricul- ture’s division of training in the office of personnel here. He succeeds Sam Beard, who will Join the staff of the Civil Service Commis- sion.

Don’t ask your laundry-routeman for special pick-up and delivery service. Laundry trucks are already overworked in this most crowded

of all American cities, and every special run means added wear and tear

on tires already overburdened.

Cut out calls for special delivery service... and, in addition, be READY with your laundry when the laundryman pays his regular call. Don’t make him come back a second time.

Please remember that you, yes “poor little you” ... can do a lot for vour country by helping us get the maximum of effective service out

of the tires we now have on our trucks.

Boon to Speeders It is difficult to think of anything

that could do more to break down the enforcement of the important traffic regulations—those which directly affect the safety of the public—than the so-called forfeiture system which Judge Hobart Newman has inaugurated in the Traffic Court.

Under the practice which has been

put Into effect by Judge Newman, a

speeder, if he desires to do so, is permitted to “forfeit" when he appears in court, the forfeit ordinarily con-

sisting of one dollar for each mile he was driving in excess of the speed limit. In the first day’s trial of this unfortunate experiment, similar consideration was shown motor- ists passing stop signs or running through red lights.

The law, in speeding cases, provides graduated maximum penalties for first, second and third offenses. Thus, a first offender may be fined

$25; for a second offense, $100, and for a third offense the maximum is a fine of $300, ninety days in jail, or both. The purpose of these graduated penalties Is obvious, and they undoubtedly have the effect of dis- couraging speeding or of removing dangerous drivers from the streets. But under Judge Newman’s plan there can be no such thing as a sec-

ond or third offense because a forfeiture is not a conviction. A driver

might be arrested for speeding regularly each week, but still would be subject in each Instance only to the nominal first offense penalty since there would be no prior con-

viction of record against him. When the plan to permit forfeit-

ures in speeding cases was first advanced it was intended that motor- ists should forfeit at the precincts. That had one possible advantage— namely, that it would enable traffic officers to spend less time in court and more time on patrol duty. But even that benefit is missing from the present arrangement, for the

arresting officer has to appear in court regardless of whether the offender intends to forfeit. Thus, the Newman plan is wholly without mer-

it. It may tend to make less work for the judge sitting In Traffic Court, but he is appointed to try cases, not to devise means of avoiding work.

As Judge Newman probably knows, some 40,000 people were killed in automobile accidents in this country last year. In the District ninety- five were killed In 1941 and fifteen have been killed already this year. In a great many of these fatal acci- fients excessive speed was a contributing cause. Certainly, this is no time for any judge to encourage reckless drivers to exceed the speed limit, pass stop signs and run

through red lights. Yet precisely that is the Inevitable effect of Judge Newman’s innovation. In the interests of the people of the District, it is to be hoped that some one in authority will put a stop to it.

Part of the Price It, has been suggested on several

occasions recently that the Second World War is not as costly as the First In terms of human lives, but the death of Major General Fritz Todt, one of Germany’s greatest military engineers, raises a question In this regard which is worthy of study.

The builder of the Siegfried Line, killed In an air accident on the eastern front, was the twenty-sixth Nazi general to perish in the prevailing struggle. Some of the casualties have been surrounded by mystery, but by far the larger number have been admitted in ordinary routine fashion. Hints to the effect that General Baron Werner von Frltsch really was “liquidated” have been discredited. He seems to have died in action in the Warsaw campaign, September 23, 1939, as reported. Similarly, it now appears to be true that General Field Marshall Walther von Reichenau succumbed to apo- plexy, January 17, and Major General Hans Georg Hoffmann to a heart attack, January 31. The exact cir- cumstances of the death of Colonel General Ernst Udet, a famous flyer, have not been disclosed. He merely is said to have been killed while examining “a new type of fire- arm,” November 18 last.

Some of the dead leaders, of course, were somewhat less well known to the world public than others. General Todt, for example, was universally celebrated as the engineer responsible for the design and construction of Germany’s modem highway system, probably the finest development of its kind to be found anywhere on earth. His genius was richly creative and, under different conditions, it might have •ontributed immeasurably to the

progress of the whole of mankind. A like observation might be made with regard to General Udet, es-

teemed in America as an aeronautic mechanic of the highest distinction.

But the passing of such victims of the prevailing cataclysm serves principally to show the cruel wasteful- ness of the vast “experiment” launched by Adolf Hitler when he de- liberately chose to attack Poland nearly thirty months ago. His twen-

ty-six generals are but part of the

price he has been obliged to pay. The innocent peoples he forced into con-

flict have suffered more tragic losses for which he is to blame.

Flurry in Egypt Many signs indicate that General

Rommel’s surprising comeback in

Libya may be merely the beginning of an Axi^offensive which will em-

brace both North Africa and the Asiatic Near East. The equivocal attitude of the Vichy government, the “anti-British” riots at Tangier in the Spanish Moroccan zone, and Axis strategic moves throughout the Mediterranean are outstanding evidences of Axis pressure in what

may soon become a major theater of warfare. That this pressure is as

much diplomatic as it is military becomes clear by what is happening in Egypt.

Egypt undoubtedly is the pivotal cqpntry of the Near East. Geograph- ically and culturally, it is the con-

necting link between Africa and Asia, while the Suez Canal similarly connects the Mediterranean Sea with the ocean highways to the Mid- dle and Far East. Egypt, with the canal and the splendid harbor of Alexandria, is the base of British power in that part of the world, and is therefore often regarded as part and parcel of Britain’s imperial structure in its fight against the Axis. That, however, is not the case.

Egypt is legally an independent, sov-

ereign state, and Britain’s position there is regulated by treaty rights enabling it to use the country’s har-

bors, airports and communications in wartime. But Egypt Itself occupies a highly anomalous position in the

present conflict. Though it serves

as a British base of operations and has broken relations with the Axis

powers, it has never declared war

against them. Twice Axis armies have invaded its territory, but the

Egyptian Army has stood aloof. Furthermore, it has been rather obvious that this peculiar sort of neu-

trality is approved by the bulk of the

Egyptian people. Tactful management of a reluctant and occasionally recalcitrant Egypt has been one of the most delicate tasks of British diplomacy.

Egyptian recalcitrance has waxed and waned according to the prevailing strategic situation. Italian influence has always been strong there, and when Fascist armies crossed the border in the critical autumn of

1940, a cabinet crisis arose over Brit- ish demands that the Egyptian government break relations with the invader. The Nationalist party, known as the Wafd, representing the Egyptian masses and traditionally hostile to British influence, refused to enter any cabinet pledged to a

belligerent policy; so regular parliamentary government had to be su-

perseded by “non-party” cabinets appointed by the King and accept- able to Britain. A second political crisis with anti-British implications occurred when General Rommel re-

conquered Libya in the spring of 1941 and Axis troops again stood on

Egyptian soil. Now a third crisis has arisen, timed with Rommel’s re-

newed drive. And It is significant that this political flareup involves the crown.

The crisis began when young King Farouk protested at the cabinet’s action'in breaking relations with the

Vichy government of France. The

cabinet, headed by Hussein Pasha Sirry, had taken office with British approval last year and represented

| a policy of cordial co-operation with

Britain, though within the limits of “non-belligerency.” The cabinet's action against Vichy probably was

taken at Britain’s suggestion. But •King Farouk declared this an in-

fringement of the royal prerogative, and the cabinet thereupon resigned.

A stop-gap administration has succeeded, headed by Nahas Pasha, who declares that Egypt will live up to the Anglo-Egyptian alliance treaty, but will endeavor to “spare Egypt the horrors of war.” Simul- taneously, King Farouk dissolved Parliament and decreed a general election, thereby seeking a verdict of the people. These events have caused much unfavorable comment in the British press, with sharp criticism of the King and his advisers. Egypt clearly remains a

problem which needs cautious han-

I dling.

Brazil Rubber Plan Because the war in the Far East

has demonstrated the need for increasing Western Hemisphere sources

of rubber, the request of the Brazil- ian government for the help of this

country in tapping the 20,000,000 wild rubber trees in the Amazon jungle merits careful consideration.. According to a recent news articl^* in The Star, Dr. Souza Costa, Brazil- ian Foreign Minister, who is now in Washington, has told administration officials that Brazil could quickly bring these trees into production through construction of roads into the areas, at present virtually inaccessible, where they are located, provided the United States guaranteed to buy Brazilian rubber, not only during the war, but afterward, at satisfactory prices.

With the expenditure of sufficient funds to open up the Jungle and establish new production facilities,

there seems little doubt that substantial amounts of rubber could be obtained from the wild trees in the Brazilian forests. One of the major problems involved would be that of labor. Archie Johnston, manager of the Ford rubber properties in Brazil, pointed out in a recent interview that his compahy, which operates large plantations in the Amazon Valley, had not yet solved the labor problems. Most of the workers available, he said, have soufeht employment in

the coffee and cotton plantations farther south. It seems logical to assume that it would be no less difficult to secure workers to tap the wild rubber trees in the Brazilian hinter- land.

Experience of the Ford plantations, in the opinion of Mr. Johnston, has shown that rubber can be grown commercially in the Western Hemi- sphere. But to secure enough production to meet the needs of the United States, he warned, would require at least twelve years, and would neces-

sitate the transfer of vast numbers of workers into the rubber producing areas. He also expressed the view that even with a liberal expenditure of money, it would not be possible to secure enough rubber from the wild trees in Brazil to offset the deficien- cies in the United States caused by the Japanese threat to our Far East- ern sources of supply, which nor-

mally provide more than ninety per cent of the crude rubber consumed in this country.

Though it is essential that every effort be made to step up production in Brazil and neighboring countries, we should be under no delusion, therefore, that Western Hemisphere output of natural rubber, in the near

future, is likely to meet our wartime and limited civilian requirements. For the present our best assurance

against a shortage is through a

prompt completion of the program for expanding to 400,000 tons a year the capacity of synthetic rubber plants.

Growing Air Force Nothing has demonstrated so well

the potency of air power In modern warfare—and the perils of air In-

feriority—as the successes thus far

scored by the Japanese In the Far East. The almost unimpeded path- way of invasion which Nipponese naval and land forces have followed in their simultaneous drives on the Philippines, Malaya and the Dutch East Indies were opened for them by waves of bombing, torpedo and fighter planes. Largely because of the utter inadequacy of American, British and Dutch air forces in the Far Eastern theater, General Mac- Arthur’s men are beleaguered and deprived of reinforcements, the Prince of Wales and Repulse are at the bottom of the China Sea, Sing- apore’s once* formidable naval base is abandoned and the whole island is under siege, and Japan’s Navy continues to pour Invading armies into islands of the Southwest Pacific.

Japan has had things pretty much her own way up to now because she has been able to throw a cover of

aerial protection over the warships and transports which compose her

invasion fleet. Conversely, the naval forces of the United Nations, mindful of what happened to two of Britain’s finest warships off Malaya, have been forced to follow a policy of ex-

treme caution in pursuing their task of seeking out and destroying the

enemy. And the Japanese will continue to enjoy these advantages and will continue to maintain the in-

itiative until Allied air power has been reinforced at least to a point of approximate equality with or, better

still, superiority to Japanese air

power. With this critical situation staring

America and her Allies in the face, the Army’s plan for a 2,000,000-man air force—a goal that would have seemed utterly fantastic only a few' months ago—attests the fact that while democracies may be slow in getting started, they go at things in a big way when finally stirred from

complacency. The objective for 1942 is 1,000,000 pilots, bombardiers and ground crewmen, with another million to be added as fast as they can

be trained and provided with planes. An r^ir strength of 2,000,000 men

would be twice the present size of the R. A. F. and about three-quarters of a million more men than are believed to compose the German air force. It would exceed the current man power of our land forces by about half a million men.

These flyers and service crews will be needed to man our rapidly ex-

panding fleet of bombing and fighting aircraft. This fleet, if the Presi- dent’s program adheres to schedule, will be enlarged by 60,000 planes this year and by 125,000 next year. As further evidence of the new recognition being given air power hy the War Department, flying is to become a regular pait of the curriculum at West Point* In the past aviation has

played a subordinate role at the Academy. There is encouragement in all of this program for a public which has been shocked by developments in the Pacific. It should be remembered, however, that this

vastly augmented air force is as yet only “on order” and that until it comes into actual being a year or

two hence, any hope of wresting Pa- cific air supremacy from Japan and thus taking the offensive against her and her Axis partners is slim indeed.

Among the wartime shortages which almost certainly will occur in this country will be one in tapioca. Millions of us will prove to be brave and patient patriots as far as this item goes.

Old-Fashioned Patriot Protests O.C.D. Waste

Volunteer Worker Declares Her Neighbors Are Not

'Cashing In on America' To the Editor of The Start

I see by the papers that I made a big mistake in getting born into a family that taught me that patriotism was

something that you use for your ooun-

try. Here I grew up, a poor ignorant girl, holding that, idea all the time, and I never thought for a minute that I could make patriotism a career, not to say a paying business. So I find myself today, holding about a $3,000 a year job that my boss says is full time, which means that I sweat away at it about 10 hours a day as near as I can figure, though never in my old-fashioned life have I thought of watching the clock or

asking for overtime. And this quaint out-of-date notion of mine about patriotism—I find I have that too, but I haven’t much else, except a year-old car, a two-year-old fur coat, an eight-year- old typewriter, a dog and an income tax blank. But still I wasn’t making any holler.

And then we get into a war. Good- ness, goodness—how dumb I am! A college degree and a lot of post-graduate work and beginning at the bottom of my

profession and climbing up the ladder— none of that has taught me a thing. I should have been a blond night-club singer. For when that war broke loose I Just went down to my Civilian Defense Committee and volunteered. Bure, I said, I can give my time. Also, I said, I can give the use of my car—tires and all. And so I got an assignment spotting planes, which means that I put in a

six-hour trick a week, beginning before

sun-up in the morning and going on

until noon, sitting out in a pup tent in a cornfield 12 miles from home, putting 720 miles a month, that is, on my aforementioned tires. Sometimes it snows and sometimes it rains, and sometimes again it blows itself up a real gale, and a pup tent in such weather is no

night club, I can tell you.

But I didn’t think it was anything to

do, for everybody out my way is doing the same or likewise. And nobody is

getting paid $4,600 or $8,000 a year for it, either. Or anything. Nobody is breaking even, if it comes to counting. On the box which serves as a table in the tent, Just for the public information, there is a little jelly jar with a slit in the lid, and we poor old-fashioned Amer- ican patriots put in some of our change every time we do a trick, to pay for coal, electricity and—yes—the telephone serv-

ice for ’phoning in plane warnings to

Army headquarters. We didn’t even ask the ’phone company to kick in to that extent. A girl who is an arrested tu-

berculosis case helped me once and an-

other time my partner was a retired officer in his 70s. Why don't we get paid for this? Why? Because we would ever-

lastingly boot the daylights out of any-

body that suggested paying us. We weren't brought up in the New Deal. We don't count our patriotism that way.

And then I got another assignment, Mr. Editor. I was asked to take over the public relations of our defense com-

mittee, for the headquarters setup prescribed such a Job. So, along with my regular job I’ve been doing some writing for the papers along patriotic lines, press releases, feature stories, and doing the

leg work and the tire work that goes into such effort, too. Pay? I don’t even

get a by-line. I’m not a blond night- club singer. I’m not a $l,000-a-week movie star. I’m just an American wom-

an with her own old age to provide lor and a problem on her hands about meet-

ing her Income tax. That’s all. My neighbors are the same way. We never

thought of cashing in on America. We

wouldn't If we did. But this is what we do think: Being

Americans, we own our stockholders' share in this country. And we don't

like the way the dividends are being squandered on court favorites at a time of public danger. And, being Americans, we think we have a right to say so.

This business has made us all mad and if we tried we could get still madder.

Hails Proposal for Maximum I'se

Of Automobile Carrying Facilities. To the Editor of The Star:

Is it possible that some one finally has had the bright idea that one approach to "solving our traffic problem” would be for a five-passenger vehicle during rush hours to carry four passengers instead of one?

It seems just too intelligent to have been thought of in Washington.

Perhaps in time we may even get around to consideration of the five or

seven passenger "private locomotive” on

the public streets that carries one or two persons on an average of one or

two hours a day, the rest of the time unused but occupying valuable space, often public space. OBSERVER.

THIS AND THAT By Charles B. TraceweTl.

"Everybody’s Darlington” Is one of the popular names of the song sparrow.

It Is easy enough to understand such a poetic name, when one of these fine birds starts to singing underneath your window in early February.

This is a new song, not the one it has been singing all winter.

This is the spring song, a cross between the cascade of sound madfe by the house wren and the outpourings of a

caged canary. This is a harbinger of spring.

* ♦ * *

Maybe we are going to have one of these early springs, such as prevailed in 1925 hereabouts.

Anyway, the song sparrow is hopeful. He was out bright and early that

morning, making a most delicious music in the cold. (The temperature was

around 24 degrees, out our way.) The song sparrow's first real spring

melody is something like that of the wren, but much prettier.

It has the same bubbling effect, but is much softer and a great deal more

musical. Not every friend of birds ad- mires the wren’s song. While they admit its vim and vigor, and all around

pleasantness, they profess to find sharp edges to it, much as one sometimes does to the music coming from a loud speaker. Yes, it is low pitched enough, but still there is a certain sharpness there.

Other popular names for the song sparrow are ground sparrow, silver

tongue, hedge sparrow, bush sparrow, ground bird, marsh sparrow, swamp finch, and grass bird.

These names, given in various sections of our country, mostly refer to the habits and song of the creature.

One habit is its fondness for shrubbery.

All during the winter it will be seen

in bare shrubs. It likes fences and fence posts and gates, too, often perch- ing on the latter to sing in the snow.

Another habit is its fondness for the ground. In spring and summer it spends much of its time hopping around the

lawn, looking for insects. It also likes to sing from the ground. An occasional bird lover thinks that

few birds sing from the ground. The song sparrow often does it. Even the wood thrush sings while hopping around, although not so much as the song sparrow'.

Some of the common names for this bird refer to its exquisite musical abilities.

Ornithologists have spent much time Investigating this bird. Among their researches are extensive ones relating to its songs.

Its melodies run into the score. Mu- sicians who have listened to it carefully speak of it as one of the best of all singers, not only in musical pattern and

form, but also In the quality of Its notes. * * * *

The song sparrow is about six and a

half Inches long, upper parts brown and black, in streaks, the underparts white, streaked with black.

In the old days the bird preferred the woods, or roads and fields, but today it comes fearlessly into our gardens, and makes itself so at home that its human friends often fear for its safety.

If you remain seated quietly in a chair in summer, the song sparrow will hop forward confidently within a few feet of you.

It will not fly away at a sudden move-

ment from the chair, but simply will hop a few feet, then come back again.

Often it shows utter fearlessness of cats and dogs, which, much to their credit, generally leave this bird alone.

* * * t

“Melodia” is the species name of the bird, one which well suits it.

The common song is recognized by almost every one who likes birds.

It is so crisp, so clear, so utterly musical, that even persons who are not at all Interested in bird life stop to notice it,

Although its song has many varia- tions, running into the score, as previously stated, in general the song is simple enough, consisting of two nates of the same pitch, followed by a third, several tones higher, all staccato, ending with a descending run. This is where the similarity to the wren song comes in.

The song sparrow Is a real friend of man, destroying weed seeds and noxious Insects. It eats seeds three to one. That is, its diet consists three-fourths of seeds and one-fourth of insects.

It eats various beetles, weevils, ants, wasps, true bugs and caterpillars. It is said that grasshoppers are consumed by song sparrows in the East, but not in the West.

There are many forms of these sparrows, varying with the locality, as

they are spread all over the United States.

Wherever they are found they are

undoubtedly song sparrows, although in one place the feathers will be grayer and in another the bill smaller.

.So it comes about that thla is one of the best known of all sparrows, and one

which does missionary service for all finches, since it tends to make observers careful in their checks. That is, the person who once knows the song sparrow is not going to call it “Just a sparrow,’’ and kill it, as some persons have done, thinking it to be an English sparrow.

If one watches song sparrows, it is Impossible, we believe, to have a harsh feeling for English sparrows, since the latter are Indisputably members of the same family. So closely related, they must share many of the same good traits, and, in fact, they do.

Letters to the Editor Discusses Danger of Public Neglect Of Potential Axis Attacks. To thr Editor of The St*r:

Each time I read something about Pearl Harbor and the failure of superiors to heed the warning of Private Joseph L. Lockard, who reported planes approaching, I wonder just how alert

enemy fliers approaching the Panama Canal would find our forces there today.

Pearl Harbor and the experience of

the two reporters in Philadelphia parading in Nazi uniforms all point to a

strong tendency on the part of the

Americans, even those in positions demanding vigilance, to ignore what they see or hear.

Bombing of the Panama Canal by Axis air forces is not in the realm of fantasy. In fact such a feat may be as

feasible as a token bombing of New York or Washington.

Speaks for “Humble People- Concerning O. C. D. Extravagance. To the Editor of The Star

Yopr editorial of February 5 regarding O. C. D. employment of dancers and

already overbusy movie actors In a so-

called emergency education for our

youth gives emphasis to a subject vital to every citizen. The large sums so

lightly being bandied about for this represent the sacrifices of many humble people. We of this humble group are

now giving our tax dollars, as never

before, for the service of our country. We are doing it willingly and are aware

that we must do so for a long time. Is it not of great importance that these dollars be spent mo6t practically and usefully?

What a fine gesture of patriotism it would be if some of these talented people already holding well-paid jobs would donate a little of their time to organization of these departments for which they now are willing to accept such princely salaries.

Proposes Aid for Soldiers Spending Week End’s in City. To the Editor of The Star:

I have a suggestion which might prove of value to our service men who would like to go sight-seeing on their Saturdays and Sundays off.

There are numbers of natives of the District of Columbia who, I am sure, would be glad to act as volunteer guides to our service men on Saturday afternoons and Sundays.

Some of the volunteers possess cars and could use them for sight-seeing. I am sure they would consider it a

privilege to help. We who do not possess cars could use

public transportation and as a thought, maybe some arrangement could be made with the Capital Transit Co. by the recreational authorities, whereby a pass could be printed for the use of service men only up to the rank of the highest non-comm. This pass would be good only on Saturday and Sunday. It could have a patriotic scene on it or be printed in red, white and blue to distinguish it from the regular pass.

mathematical certainty, such a vindica- tion of our force is not the equivalent of a guarantee of an uncompromised moral triumph.

A creative peace must take cognizance first of Justice, to which each interest besides is subordinate, and erect a uni- versal court, for w7hose governance and limitation a law of nations would be legislated, cardinal rules of which would be the renunciation of the right of con-

quest by force, the legal equality of independent nations and the abolition of discriminations.

Sanctions would be decreed to compel respect for the international commitments, and unless the nations devise judicial processes for the determination of disputes, the law of nations will con-

tinue to be a modus vivendi and tran- quillity a truce.

A creative peace would recognize the natural with the moral law, acquiescing in the dictates of history; for illustra- tion, an Asia and Europe pacific except Intermittently is most improbable while Russia is denied warm water ports and the Immense French African possessions are employed as an argument for the maintenance by France of a fleet of ag- gressive dimensions and of uncertain purpose.

Treaties such as the German-Italian wou^d be prohibited and governments concluding any of that sort would be excluded from the rights of international traffic and law.

To avert disturbances and to meet new situations as they arise a congress of nations would be formed, to convene

at intervals. Permanent commissions would be appointed to do such work as

might be within the province of the

League of Nations. The existing law of nations accepts

force as the supreme arbiter in Interna- tional disagreements, thus supporting the contentions of militarists and constitut-

ing potential war instead of dependable peace at the end of conflicts. A judicious peace would make a competent court the final resort within the law, and a con-

troversy outside the law would be argued in, and resolved by, the congress, not a

league, of sovereign nations.

To realize these objectives, a modicum of sovereignty, actually Insignificant In contrast to the advantages to be gained, would be resigned.

The word "sovereignty," by reason of the increasing interdependence of na-

tions, of time and space abbreviating devices, and of the assertion of the rights of man in contradistinction to the privileges of nations, may require a new

definition. The peace that our Government ought

to propose would operate, as If a natural law, for the organic evolution of the so-

ciety of nations. The Declaration of In- dependence and the Constitution so pro-

Pearl Harbor Inquiry Still Delayed

Complacent Attitude On War Seen Only In Washington By DAVID LAWRENCE.

The true story of what happened at Pearl Harbor and what happened In Washington that permitted the Japanese a concentrated target com-

prising a substantial part of the American Fleet may not be revealed till the war is over.

Decision has been made to suppress the facts. Admiral K i m m e 1 and Gen. Short are

about to be re-

tired without court-m a r 11 a 1 and the admin- David Ufn'nre istration has succeeded in squelch- ing an inquiry by the House Naval Affairs Committee.

So far as public opinion is con-

cerned, it is to be allowed to con-

tinue to suppose that Admiral Kim- mel and Gen. Short were the only ones responsible, that the American naval situation since Pearl Harbor has been satisfactory and that all mistakes have now been remedied by changes in personnel or policy.

Many members of Congress and many correspondents here know that this isn't the true picture and that naval officers whose advice and

warnings concerning the Far East were given frankly in 1939 and 1940 are still out of favor, having been

reproved for daring to tell the truth. It is known also that somebody high up in Washington ordered the concentration of the fleet at Pearl Harbor, where the Japanese had a splendid target for a surprise attack. It is known also that there has been considerable interference by civilian officials in the affairs and high strategy of the Navy.

No Time for Court-Martial. But the administration has de-

cided that this is not the time to air such a controversy as would arise, of course, if court-martial proceedings were held and the defense counsel had an opportunity to cross-examine witnesses. The reason undoubtedly for suppression Is that it would take too much time of high officials for such a court- martial to be held and that, besides, every energy now should be bent toward the future rather than the past.

This is a logical position to as-

sume provided along with it the Nation is not permitted to become complacent about the future. In the last fortnight much has been said and written about complacency. Already certain labor unions have violated their pledge to the President and strikes as usual have been re-

sumed in certain defense plants. Similarly, the Auto Workers’ Union has projected a demand for com-

pulsory unionism in all the defense plants of General Motors. Also, the same C. I. O. union is demanding double pay for week-end work and R. J. Thomas, head of the Auto Workers’ Union, is serving notice on Donald Nelson that he can t succeed unless he lets labor participate in the management function as provided in the so-called Reuther plan.

Gen. MacArthur and his men do not get double time or even overtime for fighting 24 hours at a time and on Sundays and holidays. The tax laws are being revised virtually to confiscate the profit* of management. The big auto industry has had all Its tools and machines scrapped or removed for the duration of the war so that no more

autos could be built this year even If they were permitted.

Only Washington Complacent. Only in official Washington where

politics-as-usual and class privilege as usual abound is there a complacent attitude about the war. The letters from outside of Washington Indicate that the American people are beginning to suspect that only favorable news is being given out, that casualties are being concealed, and that the administration is interested more in hiding its own in- efficiency and coddling its political supporters than in being candid with the public.

But the administration has abso- lute power. Only in the British democracy can the Parliament check up on those entrusted with public power. Small wonder that

On the Record In Coming Election Both Parties Must Campaign on Single Issue of Winning War

By DOROTHY THOMPSON. The forthcoming congressional

elections will be a most important event in American his-

tory. There are

three possible outcomes.

Mr. Flynn’s viewpoint might suc-

c e e d. Mr. Flynn wants a unified Con- gress through the triumph of the Demo- cratic party, which means an approach to a single- Dorothy Thompson.

party system. The Republican die-hard view-

point might succeed. In this case we would have a Congress divided on the major issues of the war, and a repetition of the situation that confronted Wood- row Wilson.

The viewpoint of Mr. Roose-

velt—and Wendell Willkie—might succeed. In this case, we would be protecting the two-party system by choosing from among

Republicans and Democrats those loyal to the national program. whose opposition would be positive, constructive, and directed toward winning the war, instead of negative, disruptive and leading toward stalemate and paralysis.

What are the functions of elections in a healthy democracy? They are to elect representatives to govern in accordance with the

popular will and their own sense of responsibility.

The popular will is to win this war and make a great, constructive peace. In order to succeed we must have leadership and co-

operation all along the line.

Co-operation does not mean ser-

vility, nor a Congress that is

merely a rubber stamp. It means a Congress that can actively contribute to winning the war by using its brains, not merely one that doesn’t hamper the administration. Mr. Flynn wants a

subservient Congress. He wants to be sure the members are all Democrats who will follow the party line.

Exploitation for Party Machinery. This means the supremacy of

the party apparatus, which gives superiority to the party leaders. It is to be deplored in normal times, but is destructive in war-

times, for it means that the Na- tion is exploited for the party machinery, and it brings about a false identification—of loyalty with party orthodoxy. In such a case the opposition is either broken, or pushed outside the Nation, and, without responsibility for the conduct of the war, can function only by opposition for the sake of opposition.

The President realizes this. He asks that men be elected not ac-

cording to party, but according to their stand on the main Issue before the country. He wants a

National Government and a na-

tional Congress, with the greatest possible distribution of re-

sponsibility. This is Mr. Willkie's viewpoint,

too, and it is statesmanlike. For Mr. Willkie sees that the Re- publican party will not recover by its power to divide and de-

stroy, but by its proven record of superior leadership in a life and death crisis.

Every intelligent and patriotic opposition has a certain advan-

tage, which it can use for its own future. Every administration makes mistakes—such is life. And it is human for administrations to defend their own mistakes, instead of publicizing them. That follows the law of self-preserva- tion, and anyhow, self-criticism is a rare quality.

A loyal opposition becomes, therefore, the conscience of the Nation, and its watchdog. It profits by watching for mistakes and insisting that they be cor-

rected. and by developing superior ideas as to how to avoid and overcome error.

But there is another opposition however—the diehard opposition, which, in the war, is a copper- head opposition. And it is laying plans which, should they succeed, can wreck the Nation.

This opposition is not even

Republican. It is an opposition that plans to use the Republican machinery. There are many party Democrats in it, and there are

Fascist circles behind it. It has a press—the Hearst, McCormick, Patterson (Daily News) press. It has pamphlets and minor papers that reach the rabble: Social Jus- tice, Roll Call, news letters and innumerable other means of spreading pro-Fascist propaganda. It has a plan: To secure the re-election of the kill-Roose- velt crowd and of all the isola- tionists. It intends to create a solid and active minority whose purpose will be to paralyze all action and to use every internal confusion and external defeat to render the country incapable of an active pursuit of the war.

Policy of Intimidation. It hopes to build up a cama-

rilla around Roosevelt, to make him their prisoner—as a similar camarilla made Wilson its prisoner—and to intimidate mem-

bers of the administration, especially the permanent career

civil service, by the threat that

they will lose their jobs when the temper 'of the country turns, as they predict it will.

It has an external policy: to divide the United States from her Allies, and prevent a United Nations conduct of the war, by demanding an exclusively Amer- ican control of the war, which seems to be very patriotic, but would be disastrous. And they wish this American control in order to control the disposition of the United Nations’ armed forces.

Their slogan is: Defeat Japan and let Hitler have his way in Europe. They are so blinded by their rancor and so stubborn in their hates that they cannot see the war in global terms, nor »ec-

ognlze our mutual dependency on the British, the Dutch, and eventually probably the Russians in the Far East. They would even welcome partial defeats if those defeats would bring them into power.

It is difficult to think there are such Americans. But the grim reality is that there'are. Their prototypes helped destroy France, which was also a deeply patriotic nation unwilling to believe that there were such goings-on amongst their “out” politicians.

The American people in these elections must think. And the election campaign must be a

campaign on the single issue of how to win the war, and any one

unwilling to come clean on this issue should be voted into ob- livion. (Released by the Bell Byndicete. Inc.)

one of the editorial writers of the New York Times, Henry Hazlett, has Just written a long article in that newspaper advocating that America's system of government be revised to give the American people the power to recall public officials who have made mistakes. More of this will be heard as the defects of the rigid tenure of our system are exhibited to view. With traditions and precedents going by the boards, with America facing the most critical war in its whole history, it is not surprising that critics are getting dotvn to fundamentals and asking searching questions.

AH this could be mitigated if those intrusted with power were frankly to acknowledge their mistakes, eliminate the boondoggling and trifling with civilian defense measures in

Washington, convert the peacetime agencies of government into war

work, and give the American people at least the same amount of in-

The Great Game of Politics Public's Capacity for Indignation, Believed Lost, Revived by Congress Pension Plan

By FRANK R. KENT. Much has been written about the

lost capacity for Indignation of the

American people concerning the

conduct of their elected represents- tlves In Wash- ington. Tor the past eight years It has seemed that nothing could pierce their Indiffer- ence; that those in authority could break almost any prece- dent and violate with Impunity the most ele- mental laws of propriety. Frank 1 Kent.

False pretense, broken promises, blatant demagoguery all went un-

rebuked. So completely had New Deal policies anesthetized the people that there seemed no limit to what could be done. All of which makes the more encouraging the popular resentment manifested in various parts of the country over the recent action of Congress in voting retirement pensions to its own membership. This, considering the period, was, of course, a shocking thing to

do, but for a while it appeared that, like so many other shameless performances, after the usual denun- ciations, it wou'd be accepted, too.

However, it has not turned out quite that way. No sooner had the President signed the bill than the people began to wake up. Ridicule as

well as abuse began to pour in on

members of Congress. Out in Spo- kane, Wash., the Athletic Round Table started its "Bundles for Con-

gress" movement. Whatever happens, said the club president, "our ailing Congressmen must be made comfortable.” Other organizations made themselves heard from and a

bill for repeal was introduced in the House. The County Officers’ Associ- ation of the State of New York passed a resolution denouncing the congressional action and favoring the repeal.

May Be Political Liability. Representative Smith of Ohio,

who introduced the repeal bill, has now presented a petition for a House vote on his proposal. This is a direct reflection of public resentment and is an exceedingly healthy sign. This summer and fall every member of the House and one third of the Senate come up for renomination and election. A record of having voted for or acquiesced in this con-

gressional pension proposal is likely to be a real political liability. A considerable number of Congressmen, looking forward to fights in close districts, are anxious to rid themselves of this weakness.

The average Congressman has no

desire to present his opponent in either primary or general election an opportunity to make the charge that in the midst of a great national crisis, when every non-war expenditure should be “cut to the bone," he voted himself a pension. Clearly, that will not be an easy charge to handle when pressed by a vigorous opponent who, as he is sure to do, tells the voters that if they send him to Congress instead of the cringing Incumbent he will vote to

repeal this indefensible act. Visual- izing this kind of attack it is not strange the repeal movement should find favor with many sitting members.

The thing that puts them in a particularly vulnerable position in this matter is the effort to sneak it through without a roll call. They succeeded in doing this in the House, and would have done so in the senate but for Senator Byrd of Vir- ginia, who made a protest and demanded a roll call. He was supported by Senator Norris of Ne- braska and a number of others, but the vote showed 47 for the pensions and only 24 against. Of course, popular feeling may evaporate. The whole thing, like many others, may be forgotten in a short time and the repeal proposal be abandoned. But at the moment members of Congress

are sweating dreadfully over the situation.

Other Pension Plans. And it is not lessening their dis-

comfort that this pension vote in their own Interests has centered public attention more strongly upon other acts which disregard the declared policy of the President that war expenditures necessitate rigid reduction in normal expenditures. Instead, one branch of Congress or the other has passed bills which in- volve so profligate a use of the public funds as to endanger the credit of the country and threaten to nullify every effort to maintain even a semblance of financial equilibrium.

For example, there is the proposal to pension all civilian workers—or their widows—who were engaged in construction of the Panama Canal 28 years ago. This would add close to two million a year to the pension load. Through insistence of Senator Pepper of Florida it was jammed through the Senate and now goes to the House. But, previously, the House had passed two pension bills fof widows, children and parents of World War veterans, "without regard to cause of the veteran’s death.” These bills are now under Senate consideration. If passed they will ultimately add billions of dollars to the pension load and wipe out the last vestige of the pension reductions of 1933. Various other proposals involving free war insurance for civilians as well as soldiers, free mail privileges and reduced railroad rates for all members of the armed forces, etc., etc., are in the offing.

In brief, the trend of Congress is toward an expenditure of the public funds along pension lines so unre- strained -as to threaten financial chaos. There is no surer way to weaken our war effort and aid our enemies than unchecked continuation in this direction. The popular resentment over the self-pensioning vote is In the national interest. And it is in the national interest that this resentment should not subside. Members of Congress, whether Democrats or Republicans, who by support of these proposals are throwing Federal finances wholly out of control, deserve to be beaten when they come up for renomination and election this year.

This Changing World Ships With Food for French Morocco Granted Safe Passage in Atlantic •

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Ships loaded with sugar, foodstuffs and other civilian necessi-

ties are sailing from New York

with British and German navi- certs, which make them immune to attack by German submarines and confiscation by the British blockade patrol.

The destination of these ships is Casablanca, the principal port of French Morocco. This is one

of the few times that vessels

leaving an American port in war-

time have been given safe con-

duct by the enemy. The sending of these food ships

was decided on after protracted

Tfhmck I AFRICA 1C

conversations between Washing- ton and London. The British government was not particularly anxious to have food supplies go to the French North African colonial empire. London's con-

tention was that the people of Morocco and Algiers, both native and European, are not as hard up as those living on the famine- ravaged European mainland, with the exception of the Nazis.

Large quantities of wheat, fruits and vegetables are still being grown in the French African territories and, while there is an

unquestionable dearth of some

commodities, the people in those regions are much better off than in most other parts of the world.

Furthermore, the British pointed out that there is no positive guarantee that if the Nazis need some of the foodstuffs shipped to Morocco they will not have it shipped across the Mediterranean to French ports and thence to the Reich.

Petain Believed Free Agent. American official circles have

adopted a different attitude, however, in regard to France. In these quarters there still is a

strong belief that Marshal Petain, Vichy chief of state, is more or less a free agent and that by complying with some of his pleas to feed his "starving children" we may postpone the evil moment of complete Nazi-French military and political co-operation.

Britain's military and naval authorities feel certain that when the time comes for Hitler to exact from France full participation in this total war, neither Marshal Petain nor his Vice Premier, Admiral Darlan, will be able to resist the demands. If they do they will be forced out

and another set of politicians— who are on hand both in Part* and Vichy—will be put in their

places. French Fleet Getting Ready. Confidential information re-

ceived in Washington indicates that the French fleet is getting ready for sea duty and neither the British nor our own Navy men will be surprised if they hear in the near future that the "Ma- rine Nationale," rejuvenated with

new personnel which was hand-

picked and trained by Vichy French naval officers—all of whom are imbued with hatred for the British and not much sympathy for the United States —has joined the Axis forces.

This union of French and Nazi naval strength may not occur in actual fleet formation. From re-

ports received here and in Lon- don it appears the French will start by patrolling their own

stretches of the Mediterranean and prevent any British interference with shipping between French and North African ports.

This in itself appears fairly harmless and should not cause

any misgivings. But the British are firmly convinced that the army of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in Libya, which has been heavily battered in the last two months, all of a sudden gained offensive power. This must have come from somewhere in Europe and since the British are satisfied that only a small percentage of transports going from Italy to

Libya have escaped their submarines and surface ships, they feel sure that fresh German troops, new tanks and ammunition

have reached Marshal Rommel through Algeria and Tunisia.

The British point out that last year when Gen. Sir Archibald P. Wavell made his first successful offensive in Libya, destroying the army of Marshal Graziani. it was

through Tunisia that the Axis rushed the reinforcements which enabled their troops to push back the British and imperial forces.

In spite of all these indications of French collaboration with the Nazis, the British government yielded to Washington's formal requests and agreed that ‘'some” food ships might be sent to Mo- rocco, it still contends, however, that some of the supplies eventu-

ally will find their way to the Reich.

McLemore— Dancer's 0. C. D. Job Lampooned Again By HENRY MeLEMORE.

LOS ANGELES.—In December of 1938 In the East Room at the White House, Miss Mayris Chaney climaxed the entertainment at the party

Henry MeLeaere.

which opened, the Washington social season with a new

dance, "The Eleanor Ollde."

It was named In honor of Mrs. Roosevelt, who, If the clippings I dug out of a

newspaper library are not up to some tom- foolery, has been a sort of sponsor

Qi Miss Chaney since 1937. A few days ago, Mrs. Roosevelt did

an “Eleanor Glide” of her own. She glided Miss Chaney right into the job of head of children's activities of the Office of Civilian Defense. This job pays $4,600 a year and is good, I suppose, for the duration.

Nowhere in the United States could Miss Chaney's appointment have been greeted with more en-

thusiasm than right here in Los Angeles, because Miss Chaney is a

Los Angeles girl, and you know how Californians are when it comes to being proud of their native sons and daughters.

Japs Reported Glum. But pride was not all that Cali-

fornians felt. No, indeed! A tremendous feeling of relief swept over the parents in this State, which is the nearest of all 48 to the theater of war. Not a mother or father I talked to was able to hide her or his jubilation over the new trust placed in Miss Chaney's hands. I’m telling you, there was everything but dancing in the streets when word came through that a dancer had been placed in charge of children's activities.

The only glum folk were the Jap- anese. Miss Chaney's appointment hurt them deeply. They seemed to sense that with a ballet dancer at the head, any bombing that came to these shores would be in vain. I bought some avocados from a little fifth columnist only this morning, and he was as blue as if Attorney General Biddle had cracked down on him and made him move two whole blocks away from an airplane factory.

The happiness of the parents over Miss Chanev’s new position is easily explainable. No one is more capable of handling a war emergency issue than a woman trained in the terpsl- chorean art. You can study the wars of history, from the Trojan to the present one, and youll find that dancers have provided the balance of power. They have always been called upon, when the going got tough, to put aside their slippers and get in there and pitch.

Alamo Had No Fan Dancer. There is many a historian who

maintains that the Alamo never would have fallen if Col. Travis had been fortunate enough to have had the advice of a fan dancer. There are other historians who insist that Custer's sad fate was largely due to the general's refusal to make a "buck and wing" gal expert head of his general staff.

The part that a dancer can play in civilian defense is obvious. Say there is a bombing. What could strike more terror into the heart of the enemy than to have the civilians greet the arrival of the bombs with a community demonstration of the adagio, shag, or the bunny hug? What parent would not be delighted to know that in time of invasion by the enemy the children would leave the schoolroom or playground exe-

cuting the third movement of the “dying swan'' or leaping high in the air with heel and toe clicks?

So secure do Californians feel, after Miss Chaney’s appointment, that there is talk of lessening the anti-aircraft gun emplacements around vital defense plants, giving sailors two days of leave a week, and cutting off the airplane detectors from noon until 5 in the afternoon.

What Might Happen. There is a movement on foot now

to have the rest of the dancers in the country appointed to high executive posts. Do not be surprised if Fred Astaire is placed in charge of the Pacific Fleet, SaUy Rand re-

places MacArthur in Luzon. Bill Robinson is made Ambassador to Russia. Eleanor Powell gets Donald Nelson's job. Gen. George C. Mar- shall is displaced by Ginger Rogers, and Rita Hayworth is sent over to help Wavell save Singapore.

Arthur Murray may soon play an even more important part in national defense. Recruits will be sent to his dance studios instead of to

Randolph Field, Fort Benning or

Camp Dlx. Hand me down my dancing shoes,

Son. I want to start working for my commission. (Distributed by McNaught Syndicate, |nc.)

Bishop Block Delivers Sermon at Former Parish

The Right Rev. Earl Block, Biahop ©f California, yesterday returned to St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, his former parish, and delivered a sef- mon before a welcoming attendance of former and present members of the church. Bishop Block stopped off in Washington while en route to the West Coast from a meeting of the House of Bishops in Jack- sonville, Fla.

Among those who attended the services were his sister. Miss Paulina Block, a member of All Soul's Epis- copal Church: two brothers, Leon- ard Block and Theodore Block, and several other relatives.

Bishop Block told the congregation the world was threatened with the loss of its value of the dignity of the human personality through emphasis on material values.

As a youth, he attended Maury Elementary School, Eastern High School and the Virginia Theological Seminary prior to graduation from George Washington University. He was confirmed and ordained at St. Mark’s. In 1907 he was in the choir which sang at the cornerstone laying of the Washington Cathedral.

Spare Tube 'Pool' Planned To Aid Radio Stations

The Federal Communications Com- mission is making a Nation-wkJe survey of spare tube equipment of standard radio broadcast stations to

provide a pool from which equipment might be shifted from one sta-

tion to another in case of failures. The survey was undertaken, it was

said, not because of an immediate shortage, but on the possibility that there might develop a lack of the highly expensive transmitter tubes through diversion of critical ma-

terials to other war uses.

That a pinch already has been felt was indicated by one station which experienced a tube failure cutting down its power from 5,000 watts to 1,000 watts. Under the rules of the commission, broadcast stations are required to maintain as much as 100 per cent spare tubes in transmitting stations. |

It was explained that unless some

check was made to determine the number of tubes now available and their location, it might be necessary :

at some time for stations to go off the air and remain off for long, periods. Under the proposed plan, j if a station had used up its spares, and was unable to get more, it might b» possible to get a spare tube from another station.

Cripps Sees Russia As Greatest Power in Europe if Allies Win

They Are Likely to End War Sitting in Berlin/ Ex-Ambassador Asserts

BRISTOL, England, Feb. 9.—Sir

Stafford Cripps, former Brtiish Am-

bassador to Moscow, told an audi-

ence today that if the United Na- tions were victorious the Soviet

Union would be the strongest Euro-

pean power and ‘‘they are likely to end the war sitting in Berlin."

There is a great deal to be admired In Communism, Mr. Cripp said, but

"much as I admire many of the

policies of the Soviet Union I think we shall make a much better job of reconstruction in Europe if we have a share in it as well.”

Sir Stafford said he was convinced the Russians had no desire to inter- fere with other European governments.

“They have an immense task of their own.” he continued, “and with the devastation of millions of acres

and hundreds of towns their task is going to be all the greater.”

Sees Nazi Defeat Possible. He spoke for the second consecu-

tive day before Bristol audiences.

Previously he had said Germany's defeat within a year was possible, but that it depended on American and British help for the Russians.

Wants Production Raised. In two addresses yesterday, Mr.

Cripps stressed the urgency for Britain to increase her war production and cast off a complacency he said he had noticed since his return from Russia a few weeks ago.

“There now stands between Hitler and a certain and not too delayed defeat,” Mr. Cripps said in a broadcast, “the chance that he may be strong enough to renew his offensive.”

If he does strike, the former Am- bassador predicted, it will be a blow for the Caucasus’ oil in April, “a new

and terrific blitz planned with the meticulous care of the German,” and "the most critical stage of the whole war.”

Cites Russian Sacrifices. Both through the broadcast and

an address here ran the theme of contrast between Russian sacrifices, in which nothing is spared from the war effort, and the skeptical attitude of some Britons toward the U. S. S, R.

"There is every chance of Ger- many being defeated by this time next year,” Mr. Cripps declared, but he warned that neither Britain nor the United States could afford to fail in helping Russia prepare for a Nazi spring campaign.

Urges Statement of Aims. Of Britons still dominated by the

“old fear complex” toward Russia, he said, they "must not be allowed to influence our relations with Russia in a negative direction. Either we

have a partnership with Russia in the reconstruction of Europe or we

plunge the world again into chaos.” Mr. Cripps urged an immediate,

clear statement of the United Na- tions’ aims.

"Delay,” he cautioned, “will add to the suspicions between this coun-

try and the Soviet Union—suspicions which have not because of their his- torical foundation completely dis- appeared.”

Oil Industry Met 1941 Needs, Russian Asserts

MOSCOW. Teb. 9 (/P).—Ivan Sedin. commissar of the oil industry said yesterday the industry met all 1941 requirements for production and would continue to grow even under the conditons of war

Writing m the party newspaper Pravda, Sedin asserted that a series of improvements in refining processes is making it possible for Rus- sians to obtain high octane gasoline for aircraft out of practically every sort of petroleum obtainable in the U. S. s. R.

The production of lubricating oils for field guns, rifles, tanks and armored cars will be doubled in 1942. he declared.

Oil production in 1941 in the “Sec- ond Baku” region between the Volga and Urals in Central Asia—out of reach of the Germans even if they should succeed in reaching the Cau- casus in a spring drive—topped 1940 by 11.3 per cent, he said. Emphasis this year will be on development of the vast resources of the Ural fields as well a soil beds further east, he added.

Goodwill Group to Hear National Officer Speak

Members of the Goodwill Indus- tries, at their annual meeting at 8

Hart Ordered No Retreat in Macassar Fight


WITH THE UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES ON BATAAN

PENINSULA, Feb. 7 (Delayed.).— Admiral Thomas C. Hart's classic order to the Asiatic Fleet Just before the battle of Macassar Strait is being proudly memorized by sailors and soldiers defending this comer of the Philippines.

This was his terse command: "Submarines and surface ships

will attack the enemy and no vessel will leave the scene of action until it is sunk or all its ammunition exhausted.”

Nurse Held in Death Of Infant Declares Crying Upset Her

Woman Also Accused Of Feeding Narcotic To Another Baby


NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—"One of the finest nurses that ever walked the floor” of the Bronx Maternity Hospi- tal was charged today with the

opium-drop slaying of a new-born

baby girl whose crying upset her. That description, augmented by

the statement she was “an elegant nurse,” was given yesterday by Hos-

pital Supt. Louise M. Wagner as

Irma Twlss, S3, was formally accused of homicide in the death of the In-

fant and also accused of feeding the narcotic to another.

"The babies- constant crying drove me crazy,” Miss Twlss was quoted by Assistant District Attorney Martin Kraus as saying before being jailed without bail for a hearing Wednes- day.

Mr. Kraus said the slim, brunette nurse had admitted she was held four days for observation In Bellevue Hospital’s psychopathic ward in No- vember, 1940, after she had taken an overdose of sleeping tablets.

He added that she had returned

to the Bronx Institution three months ago after having received leave last summer to have a baby, which did not live.

Physicians held out some hope for the second baby today, although It was in dangerous condition.

Neither Mrs. Castro Valle, 33, mother of the dead child, nor Mrs. Fred Fantagone, 34, mother of the other baby—a 4-day-old girl—were Informed of their Infants’ fate.

Mr. Valle became hysterical when told of the tragedy. It was his and Mrs. Valle’s first child In 11 years. Their only other baby, also a girl, was born dead.

Of course, you're no juffgler. But you don’t have to Insist that the stores waste paper wrapping all your little bundles Into one big bundle.

You trust its quality

History repeats itself in World War II. Sugar has been

called to war again. Our government has restricted the

use of sugar for all. Naturally, that includes Coca-Cola. You’ll continue to find Coca-Cola around the corner

from kny where, though we regret that you won’t be able

to enjoy the pause that refreshes as often as you might like.

Our volume has been reduced. But this we pledge: the character of Coca-Cola will be unimpaired. The American

people can continue to trust its quality. As in 1917, we count upon the patience of dealers and

consumers everywhere. Conserving sugar is another step toward Victory. Whatever any of us may have, or may not have, Victory we must have above all else!

Former Would Be First Three-Time Winner; Welles Scores Triple'


HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 9.—It will be sister against sister in the balloting for the annual Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “Oscars," cinema awards for best acting performances, film and director of the year.

Olivia De Havilland and her sister, Joan Fontaine, both have been placed in nomination by a committee of the academy, Miss De Havil- land for her work in “Hold Back the Dawn,’’ and Joan, who dropped the family name of De Havilland for movie Identification, because of her outstanding performance in “Suspi- cion.”

Gen. Pierce Loses Toe to Japanese Sniper, But Still Calls Them Rotten Shots

By CLARK LEE, l Associated Press War Correspondent.

WITH GEN. MACARTHUR'S ARMY ON BATAAN PENINSULA, Feb. 7 (Delayed).—A day in the life of a war correspondent hitch-hiking around Bataan Peninsula:

Lt. Johnny Bulkeley was crossing Manila Bay in a Navy patrol vesael so I hopped aboard. While Ensign G. K. Petritz, brother of Joseph Petritz, publicity director of Notre Dame, pilots through the minefield, we watch shells fall around Correg- idor, see dive bombers pound Bataan airfields. Lt. Bulkeley lands me on Bataan shore and says good-by.

I also bid farewell to Dean Sched- ler of Stillwater, Okla., and A. L. Foyt of Hollywood, Army engineers who are going to another sector of the front, and climb aboard a truck loaded with gravel.

Sharing the rough perch with me is a Greenwich Villager born hi Ireland. He is delighted at the news the American troops have reached the old sod.

Leaning against a fence post in Mariveles is a familiar figure, Nat Floyd, New York Times reporter. In a newly washed slack suit, Wai- kiki sandals and an immense straw sombrero, he is reading the latest marine wireless news after taking a

slightly wounded American officer, Capt. Ralph Keeler, to the hospital. The captain was shot by a sniper who really was aiming at Brig. Gen. James Weaver, American tank commander.

I hail a commissary truck and ride a mile farther before halting to say hello to Comdr. Frank Bridget of the naval shore battalion, an old friend from Tokio. An empty am- bulance with a Filipino driver takes me five miles along a road which the Americans had the foresight to carve through dense woods winding along the slope of Mariveles Moun- tain.

Here we encounter the worst hard- ship of travel on Bataan—dust in great choking waves forcing, us either to don a gas mask or tie a handkerchief over our nose and mouth. In most of Baatan the road- ways are of soft dirt which quickly grinds to the consistency of talcum and piles as high as 8 inches on the road so that each passing car, truck or tank throws up big billows which temporarily blind other drivers.

In the rainy season, starting In June, it will be a different story. Now the rivers running from the mountain into the China Sea are

only small streams, but they are

sufficient for soldiers to bathe in

and men can be seen stripped, soap- ing and plunging into pools every mile or so.

I ride a few miles farther with a

busload of Filipino soldiers heading for the front and then walk into the field tent headquarters of Brig. Gen. Clinton Pierce in a partially cleared grove. Gen. Pierce, from Brooklyn and one of the flghtingest men in the United States Army, recognizes me through the coat of dust which sweat has turned to mud and recalls our last meeting, on December 29, when the command he then headed, the 26th Cavalry, was covering the right flank of the United States forces moving toward Bataan Penin- sula. Gen. Pierce was promoted, many of his officers were decorated and the whole regiment was cited for the rearguard fight against the Japanese all the way from Damortis to Baatan.

Gen. Pierce has one foot in his familiar riding boot, the other, minus a toe, in a bedroom slipper. A sniper got his toe two days ago. Gen. Pierce once did not have a high opinion of the Japanese, but it's different now.

“These weren’t kids they sent against us at Damortis, Pozorrubio, Binalonan and Tayug,” he says. "They were seasoned troops about 21 to 24 years oid. Now they have suicide missions attempting to land on our flank, so they pick their best men and toughest fighters. But I still say they are rotten rifle shots. That sniper took three cracks at me across the road here, but couldn’t hit anything but my toe... ”

I make a date to watch the clean- up of a Japanese landing party and then hall a big, open-sided bus. Its wooden seats are coated with dust and the lone passenger is Sergt.

Prank Roney of Los Angeles, Calif., returning to duty after a bout with malaria.

Formerly connected with the circulation departments of newspapers in a score of cities, he is carrying a

paper-covered copy of “(A>): The Story of News," by Oliver S. Gram- ling. Twice we get signals that dive-bombers are overhead but the Japanese can’t see us through the trees arching over the roadway.

I leave the bus for a chat with the crew of a tank platoon scout car, a

group of Wisconsin boys. Their radios are tuned to tanks in operation against the Japanese at a point 5 miles west of the main road and we can hear the radioman co-

ordinating the operations. The tankers ask me to write up Pvt. (First Class) Leroy Anderson of Bur- lington, Wis., who has been recommended for decoration for his ex-

ploits in cleaning out a section where the Japanese had dug in.

I take another bouncing bus ride gullies against the enemy along the 6hore.

I reach the field headquarters of

SELL WITH SMALL ADVERTISEMENTS

It is obvious that many of our advertisers MUST use large space. They have so much to tell, so much to sell, that their quarter, half and full pages are taxed to their limits.

Then, there are other advertisers who have a seasonal business nurseries, seedsmen, cold drinks, auto agencies, realtors, etc., etc. and in between their top seasons they use smaller advertisements to hold the customers they’ve won.

They know, as the greater department stores know, that the things that people will buy in weeks and in months from now are being sold to those people today.

They know that men and women

buyers go unerringly to the store of the man that they know and believe in and like when necessity and desire send these men and women out to buy. Consequently, our advertisers main-

tain faith in their integrity, belief in the things they sell, plus a friendly liking with smaller advertisements ... in this newspaper.

They advertise regularly, always. They keep their customers, in between seasons. They never quit advertising. They never quit selling. They never

coast. They are always building they BUY their dividends, coolly, me-

thodically, systematically. If YOU want to advertise, if you

want to build YOUR business, if you’re determined to control your sales start with smaller advertisements. Phone us. ASK us for help.

If your goods are good, if you deserve the confidence of the people of this area ... we’ll help you to start the thrilling business of selling MORE goods profitably with small and regular advertisements ... in this newspaper.

Unsung Barron Leaves Ace Pros in Also-Ran Scrap as He Bags Western Golf

Win, Lose or Draw By FRANCIS E STAN.

Department of Interpretation Alsab Runs Sixth In 1942 Debut—The "bargain colt” who dominated

the field as a 2-year-old was making his major league debut, so to speak, and he never was in contention last Saturday at Hialeah. “He was beaten,” said Owner A1 Sabath, “but he's still the best horse in the country.”

Thus is a matter of opinion, of course, and it may be that Mr. Sabath is a bit prejudiced. At any rate Alsab will have to prove that he can lick the likes of Whirlaway, Challedon, Mioland and a few of

the older horses. He also must prove, when the Kentucky Derby rolls

around, that he is more than just another 2-year-old hot-shot who couldn’t carry on.

This is no time, however, to climb down off the Alsab bandwagon. The $700 colt was carrying top weight the other day and it was his first start of the year. It may be recalled that last February at the same track Alsab made his 2-year-old debut against a maiden field—

and finished dead last. But before the season was over he had won

15 of 22 races, finished second three times and third once, earned $110,610 and hung out a world record.

Alsab not only is carrying a lot of weight in the saddle these days but he's also saddled with that winter book jinx. In the last 10 years not a single Derby favorite has won. Only Bimelech and Pompoon were

close. Four didn't even reach the post and Our Boots, 1941 choice, ran

eighth in a field of 11.

One More Thing the Japs Haven't Got Warmerdam Sets Indoor Pole Vault Record—With the first 15-foot

vault within four walls and under a roof, the California school teacher named Cornelius did what he committed himself to do when he headed across the country to appear in the Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden.

Probably the only way you really can appreciate the feat is to

elude the blue-badged A. A. U. officials some day, run up to the pole vault pit e-nd look up. Just getting as high as 15 feet by means of an

elastic bamboo pole looks impossible, not to consider w-ays and means

of getting down without scattering arms and legs all over the arena.

But with this tall, thin young man it could be an everyday feat—if

he wanted to vault every day. We saw him jump upward of 15 feet

last summer at Philadelphia. He does it as easily as the average college vaulter does 12 feet—and there's a heap of distance.

When he vaulted the other night he broke a record that appeared opposite the name of a Jap, but Warmerdam was telling us at the Penn

Relays that somebody is going to break all of his records and it probably won't be a Jap, either. "We've got kids on the West Coast, he said, “who are going much higher. They're just learning now but instead

of being in college they're in the high and graded schools. They 11 keep

improving the technique so by the time they reach college they’ll be at

their peaks. Too many good vaulters and high jumpers don't learn

until their senior college years. Then they graduate, go into business

and find they don't have time to keep on.”

Nugent's Still Swapping, if Only Names Phillies Change Name To ‘Streamlined’ Phils—This seems to have

been the first move on the part of 60-year-old Manager Hans Lobert to

improve the worst team in the major leagues. It is easier to dismiss

them in reading off the scores now that a syllable has been dropped. The official explanation is that Manager Lobert wants speed on his

baU club, and a streamlined atmosphere. Naturally Mr. Lobert is

partial to’speed, having been in his day (he played under Clark Griffith

at Cincinnati in 1909 and 1910), one of the fastest men going around

the bases in the business.

But while speed helps, it only helps the pretty good teams. There Is

no way yet of stealing first base and until Owner Larry Nugent finds a

way of inflating that streamlined bankroll behind the Phillies, or Phils,

and spreading a little do-re-mi for major league talent the Lobertmen

ain't going nowhere fast.

Griff or MacPhail Is la Wrong League Clark Griffith Arrives At Orlando Training Camp-And still without

ever having received that “happy dust” letter that President Larry

MacPhail of the Dodgers was supposed to have sent Vnm nearly two weeks

ago M Griffith knew about the letter when he boarded the southbound

train here the other evening was what he read in the papers and he

dldnEn1romeattonJhehrecent “war meeting” in New York he tore out a

clipping containing the text of the phantom note and wrote in pencil alonPs the border: “Anybody who has got happy dust on his mind must

have been sniffing It.” Then he tucked it into a vest pocket, intending

to read the rebuttal in case he was called upon at the New York Base a

Writprs* banauet. He wasn t called on.

It's too bad that'MacPhail and Griffith aren’t in the same league.

With their deep appreciation of the theatrical and their natural differ-

™ Sf opinion in almost everything else it might have been fun.

Criff has nobody with whom to feud in the American League. or

some years he tried to strike up a war with the Yankees but they

answered him by winning five world championships in six vears.

Griff who has been in the second division in seven of the last

eight years, eventually got discouraged. It must be admitted that under

these conditions it couldn't be much of a feud._

Irish Battle Flashy Tar Quint In Classic for Naval Relief

Clash in Chicago Stadium Brings Together Unusually Well-Balanced Combinations

By DAVE HOFF, Associated Press Sports 'Writer.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9.—Notre Dame’s basket ball team, which

quietly has been compiling the respectable record of 11

In 15 games will meet the spectacular Great Lakes Naval Trai

log Station quintet tonight in a Navy Relief Fund game, high spot of the Chicago Stadium's cage*- season.

Unlike excellent Notre Dame

teams of other years which boasted stars like Johnny Moir, Ed Krause

and Paul Nowak, the Irish of 1942

are a balanced group and have no

outstanding player. The sailors

from Great Lakes, too. have no

single star, but for a different rea-

son—theirs is an all-star quint.

Irish Have Towering Center. Mainstavs of Coach George Keo-

gan’s Notre Dame team are Bobby

Faught, 6-foot-5-inch center, who

hit 25 points in the Marquette game; Johnny Niemiera. Raphael Kuka, Johnny Hiller and Bob Rensberger, who made 17 points against Ken-

tucky Saturday night. Rensberger is a junior; the other four are sophomores.

The Great Lakes record now

stands at 21 victories in 24 games. Three of those wins were chalked up last week, but so was one of the

defeats, Creighton University being the third team to step into a select circle reached previously only by Michigan State and Ohio State.

The sailors, in averaging 52-plus points a game, have won over In- diana, Purdue, Northwestern, Chi-

cago and Wisconsin of the Western Conference. Thew also have met Notre Dame once before, downing the Irish, 52-46.

Irish Weren’t Ready. That, however, was Notre Dame’s

second game of the year and the in-

experienced Irish subsequently dropped decisions to Wisconsin, Illi- nois and Butler. Currently they are

riding a four-game winning streak. They have averaged better than 45 joints a contest.

Key men on the Great La tees nve,

and their former college affiliation, are Bob Calihan, Detroit University; Frankie Baumholtz, Ohio Univer-

sity; Bill Menke and Ernie Andres, Indiana; Dick Klein, Northwestern; Forrest Anderson, Stanford, and John Adams, Arkansas.

The Great Lakes Band will be on

hand, as well as a number of naval and civilian dignitaries. A throng of 15,000 is expected.

Penn Announces Dates For Relays; Plans Service Events By the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb.' 8.—The

University of Pennsylvania's annual

relay carnival will be held Friday and Saturday, April 24 and 25, as

usual this year, H. Jamison Swarts, director of athletics, announced today.

The announcement was made, Swarts said, to answer a number of queries which were prompted by the thought that the relays might be curtailed, because of the war.

The university has sent out invita- tions to 261 colleges, 618 high schools and 156 preparatory schools to participate in the 1942 relays.

Swarts said the program may be enlarged this year to give service men an opportunity to compete in more than one event. A mile relay race for men in the armed forces was Inaugurated last year.

A's Due to Land In Fourth Spot, Simmons Feels

Coach Sees Hitting As Good, Pitching Better Than in '41

Bv the Associated Press.

ST. PETERSBURG. Fla., Feb. 9 —

The Philadelphia Athletics, who wound up last season In eighth, will finish the coming season in fourth place if they get the breaks and "no worse than fifth, no matter what happens.”

That's the starry-eyed prediction of Al Simmons, “Old .Bucketfoot,” who now is a coach for Connie Mack.

Simons’ optimism wasn't shaken by the fact that the Athletics lost their brightest star. Outfielder Sam Chapman, and their regular second baseman. Benny McCoy, to the Army and Navy.

Optimistic Over Hitting. "We hit only a point less than the

Yankees last season,” he explained, “and we lost a lot of games that a little better pitching might have won. I think our hitting will be as

good and our pitching better this year.

"Naturally, losing Chapman is going to hurt plenty. He hit .322 and drove in 106 runs last year. And McCoy was coming along fast and should have had a big year. But we’ve still got a pretty fair outfield with Bob Johnson, Dee Miles and Mike Kreevich and this young fellow ‘Crash’ Davis is a good-looking second baseman.”

Kreevich, obtained in a midwinter trade from the Chicago White Sox, is one of Simmons’ "ifs along with First Baseman Dick Siebert and the club's pitching.

"Siebert,” declared Al, "is great. He’s a much underrated first baseman who fields brilliantly and hits hard, too.”

As for the A's pitching, Simmons tabbed the prospects "mighty bright.”

Likes Hurler Marchildon. He predicted big things for Phil

Marchildon, the young Canadian who won 12 games for the A’s as a freshman last year.

"He was a little wild and lacked experience, but he learned a lot last year and ought to win 15 games for us this season.” Al declared, “Jack Knott should be good for 12 to 15 wins, too.”

He spoke highly of Jack Hallett, a big right-hander who came to the A’s in the Kreevich deal.

He also said Russ Wolff, a 28- year-old recruit* from Williamsport: Fred Caliguiri and Dick Fowler, a

trio of rookie right-handers, "look like pitchers who'll make the grade this season.”

Schoolboy Dribblers Tie Loose Ends in Title Tourney

Four Games This Week Will Settle Make-up Of 4-Team Final

Odds and loose ends of the high school basket ball series will be cleaned up this week with four

games—two tomorrow and two more

on Friday—winding up the round robin schedule.

Roosevelt and Wilson definitely will be in the playoff of February 20 and 21 and it's Ukely Central and Western will be the other two teams, although Coolidge still has a mathematical chance. If the Colts top Western Friday these two wiU

play off for a spot in the final, being 'tied at four victories and three defeats. Central, if it doesn t top Roosevelt tomorrow, also will be listed at 4 and 3 and included in

playoff. If Coolidge loses on Friday Central will be in the championship scrap regardless of the outcome of its contest tomorrow with Roosevelt.

Main business on tomorrow's program will be to decide last place between Tech and Anacostia. Neither has won a game and this will be their last chance when they meet at Anacostia at 3:30. The Central- Roosevelt game wiU be played at Roosevelt, also at 3:30.

Florists Improve Lead In Heurich League

Jacobsen Florists’ lead in the Heurich Amateur Basket Ball League is slightly larger today after it continued its undefeated streak by defeating Jewish Community Center, 40-27, in the feature of four games yesterday. Senate Beer and Hot Shopper, Jacobsen’s two near-

est rivals, were idle. Scoring was prolific in two of the

other games. Petworth' C. A.

swamped District Silents, 79-49, while Northeast Falcons did almost as much damage to B. & B. Farm, 70-29. In the other contest Alex- andria Police nosed out Michelbach, 50-41. _‘

Reinforcements Give Boston Fresh Hope in Hockey Race By the Associated Press.

Don’t shed too many tears for the limping Boston Bruins of the Na- tional Hockey League.

It appeared for a time last week that even the mothers and sweet- hearts of the players were ready to concede that nothing good could come out of the remainder of the season.

But not Manager Art Ross. Even with three of his players hospital- ized and three others enlisting in the Canadian Air Force, he pre-

dieted his Stanley Cup team of last

spring would fight to the 1942 finish.

Ross called up a pair of farm hands from the Hershey Glub in the American League and a trio of amateurs from the Boston Olympics of the Eastern Amateur League.

The newcomers, plus the healthy remnants of the once powerful Bruins, were strong enough last night to shut out Detroit, 3 to 0, and hold second place in the scorch- ing league race.

Big Guess This Year, Ruth Declares

Gehrig Film 6 Weeks

Br the Associated Press.

HOLLYWOOD, Feb. 9 —A siege of

illness has whittled 25 pounds from the ample frame of George Herman

Ruth, but he says he feels 10 years younger “and if my legs were good I’d still be belting that ol’ horse-

hide." The Babe Is going to play himself,

in the movie depicting the life of Lou Gehrig, and hell be here six weeks, appearing before the cameras and playing golf. He says he's “feeling fine.”

The Babe says this is one year when picking the pennant winners is a real guessing game, "because you don’t know from one day until the next which fellows are going to

play and which are going into the service.” The Yanks, he thinks, should win again, but the National League chase looms as a > six-club affair, with possibly the Cardinals having a very slight edge.

“If the war starts taking a lot of players, mark this: The winner will be the club whose infield survives intact. You can’t change your infield around. It’s hard to get a

Gains 5 Strokes in Last Round' For Victory

Totals 276 With 67 Finish; Picard Is Next With 278

By ROBERT MYERS, Associated Press Sports Writer.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Feb, fl.-Th« name of Herman Barron, a newcomer to golf fame, was added today to a list of illustrious past winners of the 42-year-old Western Open championship.

To a roll of honor that Includes such stars of the game as Hagen, Sarazen, long Jim Barnes, Mac- Donald Smith and Chick Evans, the name of this 32-year-old White Plains, N. Y., professional was placed after a sparkling triumph in the tournament final yesterday.

Leaving the better known pros In an also-ran scramble. Barron wound up his 72-hole climb to the top with rounds of 69—69—71—67—276-, which was two strokes better than his nearest competitor, Henry' Picard of Oklahoma City.

A veteran of 13 years on the professional tournament circuit, yet never before a winner, Barron started out on the final 36 holes four strokes behind the leader, Her- man Reiser of Akron, Ohio, another dark horse.

Wins in Last Round Rush. At the 54-hole mark Barron still

was three down behind a pace setting trio that Included Picard, Reiser and Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va. He came on with a rush, as they faded under last- round pressure.

Lanky E. J. <Dutch) Harrison, Chicago, finished third with 279 and final rounds of 72-70, and Reiser, helping himself to 72 and 74, was one shot back. Lawson Little made a belated last-day challenge with 69-73 for 281, while one of the early leaders in the tournament. Amateur Johnny Dawson, topped his division with 72-74—282.

The Mangrum brothers, Lloyd, who was a sentimental favorite, and Ray, would up in a tie at 283. whiie Chandler Harper, fading back with a last-round 78 after a morning 70, tied Horton Smith at 284. Horton had 76-68.

Barron won $1,000, his first Impor- tant money in competition. Thirty- two years old, he’s been a professional for 17 years in his native New York.

Hogan, Snead Far Bark. Picard won $700, Harrison $500,

Reiser $400 and Little $350 in the upper bracket.

had 289, has won $1,791; Jimmy Thomson, $1,700, and Barron and Lloyd Mangrum, each $1,658.

The pros go from here to San Antonio for the Texas Open Feb- ruary 13-15.

Stuart Beats Skeet King In Shootoff After Tie

If out-of-town competition is as

tough as that found locally George Deyoe, captain of the all-America skeet team, is going to have a hard time defending his rating as the best shot in the country.

Devoe, despite a perfect score fired over the regular 50-target distance, was able to finish only second yesterday at a registered charity shoot held by the Potomac Skeet and Trap Club, in which more than .50 competed. Dick Stuart also fired a

perfect 50 and then added a 25 in a Shootoff to top Deyo, who missed one target.

Badminton Hailed as Tremendous Test of Stamina, but Lass of 14 Cops Crown Atlantic Coast Women Bow to Shirley Fry, Tennis Product

Versatile Stars Aver Game Is Stiffer Trial Than Rough Sports

By BILL DISMER, Jr. Badminton requires more stam-

ina than either football or basket

ball, and a superior tennis player has more than a 50-50 chance of

developing into a badminton cham-

pion. Those are the observations of two of the eight nationally- known finalists at Kensington Armory yesterday when one of the largest crowds in the local history of the sport turned out for the windup of the fifth annual Atlantic Coast tournament.

As expected from the start, out- of-towners won all five titles at

6take, the last local survivors having been eliminated in Saturday night's semifinals.

Shirley Pry, 14-year-old high school freshman of Akron, Ohio, who staged two amazing come-

backs to win the women's singles, never took a badminton lesson in her life. But the tennis ability which has earned her national ranking by the U. S. L. T. A. has helped her to three State badminton titles in addition to the sectional crown which she earned yesterday.

Youngster Appears Outclassed. Shirley seemed outclassed when

she dropped the first of thee games to tall, experienced Patsy Donovan Of Buffalo, 1-11, but she turned on the heat to even the match by taking the next one, 11-3. But in the decisive game, she was down, 6-10 and—as she said afterward—thought Sure she was beaten. A fighting i

heart dominated a logical mind, mind, however, and she won out, 12-10.

Shirley, incidentally, said she has

played quite a bit of tennis in Akron with Bud Markey, the old Washington net ace who moved to the Ohio rubber center several years ago. For winter exercise she took

up badminton only two years. Be- cause the National Badminton As- sociation has an age requirement for its national tournament, she may be Ineligible to play in the women’s big competition for another two years.

Harry Hackett. a big. rRw-boned Pennsylvanian who played both football and basket ball in high school, was emphatic in stating that he had to keep in far better con-

dition to play badminton than for either of the major sports. And after observing the finalists yesterday, one understands that—in addition to why matches are decided on the two-out-of-three basis instead of three-out-of-flve. Prob- ably no good badmintoner could go at top speed for more than three games without keeling over.

Two Score Double Victories. Two high-ranked stars from ■

Montclair, N. J., were the only finalists to win and share two titles. Carl Loveday. the country's second- ranking player, successfully defended his men's championship by defeating Stig Larsen of Cos Cob, Conn.. 15-10, 15-9, while he and Mary Hagan captured the mixed doubles title from Larsen and Helen Gibson of Stamford, Conn., 15-11., 6-15, 15-10. Miss Hagan and Miss J Gibson paired to beat the Misses j Frv and Donovan for the women’s doubles title. 18-17. 11-15. 15-7.1 while Endsley Pairman of Wilming-! ton. Del., and Harry Conlan of Chi- j cago beat Hackett and Bill Warner of Philadelphia for the men’s team title. 11-15. 18-14, 18-16.

All of the players praised local officials for their hospitality and efficiency in running off such a high- class tournament over the weekend. Out-of-towners aren't paid for coming here, but they’re usually quar- tered at the homes of local player* and have little expense aside from their transportation.

Despite the fact that feathers for “birds," which are consumed at the rate of four to six a match, come from Czecho Slovakian geese. Americans probably will play badminton at least through 1944. Sales- men of badminton equipment say there is a tw'o-year supply of such gooee feathers in this country.

Bombers Beat Brewers, Tie Them for Loop Lead

Wilmington Blue Bombers basket ball team, winners of the first half in the American Pro League, at last have reached a first-place tie In the second half, earning a deadlock wi^i the Brewers by topping the local team, 47-32. last night on the Heurich court.

The Brewers previously had defeated the Bombers twice in the second-half race. Accurate shooting by Wilmington’s Moe Spahn gave him individual honors with 17 points With Nat Frankel of Washington second with 13 points. The game was hotly contested with a total of 49 fouls being called.

UNORTHODOX, BUT EFFECTIVE—Francisco Segura of Ecuador, who became South American net champion by using a two-handed grip for both his fore and backhand strokes, employed the same method to capture the Florida West Coast tennis title in the tourney at St. Petersburg. Here is shown Segura following through on a forehand (left), resting between matches (upper right) and a close-up of his two-handed grip. —A. P. wirephoto.

Bowler Runs Second And Third in Event For Red Cross

King Trails Cunningham In Big Clarendon Field; Also an Iron Man

A1 Birmingham of the Port Davis Navy Yard League today was richer by $50 as victor in the Clarendon Bowling Center's big Red Cross tournament yesterday, but more gratified, perhaps, was Bill King, star of the Penn Recreation District League team. This worthy finished second and third, which may be a

unique distinction in Washington duckpins.

A bowler was permitted to roll as many times as he cared to pay the entry fee BUI rolled twice With a handicap of 14 he shot 426 and came back with 14-424 to collect prices of *25 and $17. Birmingham totaled 32—456. which included a

top game of 167. It was a big day, indeed, for King.

In the afternoon he finished In the money of the Wlltse King Memorial tournament in Baltimore with a

seven-game tally of 899. Also elated over the Red Cross

event was Eddie Goldberg. pro- i ptietor of the Clarendon Bowling Center. The tournament drew 179 entrants of both sexes, a whopping field. Goldberg matched each roller's Red Cross donation of 15 cents so the worthy cause will receive about $50.

A Southern Railway roller. H Harvey, finished fourth with 40-421 to collect *13 Fred Peer of the Rosslyn Independent League pocketed fifth money of *10 with 44-419, William F Stevens of the I. D. R. A League won *7 with a sixth-place score of 46-417. E. Leluch of the Securities Exchange Commission loop won $5 with r seventh-plRce count of 58-417 and last-place money of $3 went to N. Nocera of the Washington Tobacco League with 36-415.

Sizzling Lions Hold Spotlight On Ice as Eagles Collapse

Uline's Team Marks Up Third Shutout In Four Games in Beating Barons

By BURTON HAWKINS. Washington’s ice hockey teams rapidly are exchanging roles,

but the butter may be passed to Mike Ullne, whose money backs the Washington Lions. Recently an apparent certainty to wedge into the Eastern League's playoff, the Eagles have collapsed like a

cream pull massaged by a steam<*- roller. Meanwhile the Lions, who were counted out of It In the Amer- ican League, have been sizzling in the stretch.

It may develop, of course, that neither of Washington's puck- pursuing outfits will land a playoff perch. To mention this, though, may be a rank Insult because teems that can't maneuver into a hockey playoff simply haven't played much hockey. They let everybody in who can bring a faint excuse for being there.

In the Eastern League, for instance, the top four teams in a seven-team league automatically make the playoff, with the three trailing clubs playing off for the fifth playoff spot, if you're still with us. That, at least, was the way it was last week, but It's subject to revision today, tomorrow or next week. Eastern League moguls aren't consistent.

The Eagles, anyway, appeared certain to snatch one of those automatic positions, but that was last week. Then the Eagles held a 10- point lead over the fifth-place Balti- more Orioles. Now the Orioles have whittled that margin to 3 points and mfly make It necessary for the Eagles to participate in a playoff If they would participate in still another playoff.

Over in the American League the situation comparatively Is sane. Three teams from each division, or six of the league's 10 teams, are admitted to the playoff. Washing- ton’s problem consists of moving into third place In the Eastern Divi- sion. which remains quite a problem.

The Lions, though, are hot. Three

times In their last four games they have registered shutouts, achieving their latest, 2-0, at the expense of the Cleveland Barons before 3.300 fans last night at Uline Arena. New the Lions are trailing Providence and New Haven, locked in second place, by only 5 points.

Blanked eight times in the early going, the Lions finally have welded a potent outfit that will remain potent unless the mother club. Les Canadians of the National League, dips into their line-up for talent. There is no guarantee Les Cana- dians won’t recall some of Mr. UUne's more noted performers for they are having their own troubles In the National League basement.

It was Washington's first victory over Cleveland in five games and the third straight shutout on Uline Aren* ice for dapper Bert Gard- ner. the goalie discarded by Les Canadians earlier in the season.

Gardnier was forced to hop around like a monkey on a string, for the Barons gave him no easy night. Aiding him considerably were Tony Graboski and Leo La- moureux, both owned by Les Cana- diens. and Alex Singbush and Allen Shields, defensemen who are the Lions' exclusive property.

No small factor, either, was Lou Trudel. The slim winger staked the Lions to a 1-0 lead early in the second period on a screened shot, Washington obtaining its other goal in the final 30 seconds when Sing- bush located the nude Cleveland net. Goalie Bill Beveridge had been yanked as Cleveland sent six wring- ers into action in a backfiring at-

tempt to create a tie.

Santini's Third Prize Is D. C. Rollers' Best In Baltimore Meet Special Dispatch to The Star.

BALTIMORE. Feb. 9 —Five Wash- ington bowlers landed among the first, 12 prime winners In the sixth annual Wlltse King Memorial Tournament last night as Tony Santini, Convention Hall sharp- shooter fired a third-place score of 959 and Ed Blakeney, Hi-3kor howitzer, pulled up in fourth place with 951. Bill Krauss of Rosslyn tied for fifth with 941, Lou Jenkins of Del Rav was ninth with 909 and Bill King was 12th with 899.

Lee Seim of Baltimore was the winner with 979 while Red Schreiber, another star Oriole roller, was the runnerup with 900. Seim’s victory netted him $100 and a trophy. Lou Pohl of Baltimore was in the sixth- place tie and Blaze Rizzo, another Oriole roller, was eighth with 933.

It was the second consecutve week end that Santini had led the invading Capital rollers in their efforts to win a Baltimore major duckpln event this season.

Sports Club, Clothiers In Hot Soccer Fight

The stage is set for a big game next Sunday, when Maryland Sports Club and Regal Clothiers meet to decide leadership in the second-half race of the Washington-Suburban Soccer League.

The sports club, having played one more game, is ahead of Regal, first-half winner, by one point, having saved Its place yesterday by working to a 1-1 tie against Wal- dorf while Regal was defeating Washington British, 5-0.

Rassle Features Billed For Turner's, Uline's

Gino Garibaldi is paired with Emil Dusek and Bobby Bruns will try again with the Swedish Angel In wrestling features coming up on Dis- trict mats.

The Garibaldi-Dusek affair Is scheduled for Turner's Arena Thurs- day night, sharing interest with a

scrap between Celia Blevins, Okla- homa Indian gal, and Mae Young.

Bruns and the Swedish Angel, Ol- lie Olafson, will meet for the third time in a month at Uline's Arena next Monday.

'Bama Quintet Better, Based on Showings Against Tennessee By th« Asuoclsttd Pre«s.

ATLANTA. Feb. 9—Alabama Is

getting the range on Tennessee— and that little item may assume

important proportions when it comes

time to put blue chips on the line In the Southeastern Conference basket ball tournament.

'Bama has lost just two games this winter to collegiate opponents, and both of them were to Tennessee. The Vols came to Tuscaloosa Janu-

ary 9 and downed the Crimson Tide, 37-15, allowing exactly three

field goals. Saturday night at Knoxville the Vols turned back Ala- bama again, 38-29, but this time the Tide sank 10 field goals.

This is a brisk upturn in business for Alabama, and if the Tide keeps rolling at that pace in the tournament February 26-28, Tennessee may be in for stormy weather.

MacMitchell III Abed Day Before Wanamaker Mile Win Golfer Takes Icy Plunge on Freak Shot; 'Physical Fitness' Takes Toll at Rutgers

By HUGH FULLERTON, Jr„ Wide World Sports Writer.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9 —Les Mac-

Mltchell, who ran the Wanamaker mile In the "slow” time of 4:11.3

Saturday, spent Friday in bed with a cold. And Cornelius Warmerdam got the loudest cheer of the Millrose meet when it was

announced he had wiped out the meet pole vault record which had been set by Sueo Oye of Japan. Headline: "Lombardi traded to Braves for two players.” Seems a

fair enough trade unless Schnozz has reduced a lot since we last saw him. Sam Byrd, who quit baseball because of advancing age, has just become eligible for P. G. A. membership after serving five years as a golf pro. Paddy Driscoll of the Chicago Bears and Bill Chandler, Marquette cage coach, who played together on

the Great Lakes naval station teams during World War 1, admit their basket ball outfit wasn't quite a. good as the current teamj

Penalty—stroke and distance-*

When Golfer Julian Kovas was

playing Lido's famous seashore course, his ball landed on the ice of a deep channel. Trying to save the valuable bit of rubber as well as a penalty, Kovas shoved out a

plank and stood on it to swing. Just as he finished the shot, the ice gave way and Julian had to hang onto the plank until caddies rescued him and carted him on to the*warmth of the clubhouse, a milfc away. There’s no record of wfiat became of the ball.

Monday matinee—Formula for success: Harry Markson, Mike Jacobs’ chief drumbeater, can

give at least six convlnclnf reasons why Tony Zale should make a good fight against Billy Conn. But if you let him keep on, he’ll break down and admit that he has ballyhoed himself into bet- ting on a lot of guys named Lee Savold to lick Joe Louis. With the selection of Glenn Pressnell and Elmer Holm, Nebraska now has its first all-alumni football coaching staff—also a saving of some $13,000 in salaries. Looks

as if Larry MacPhail were slip- ping—he not only failed to sign Whit Wyatt Saturday, but after the confab Wyatt confided: "We talked more about cows than contracts." The first two weeks of the physical fitness program at dear old Rutgers resulted in eight "major” casualties and countless bruises but no deaths for D. O. R. yet.

Today’s guest star—Jim Reed, Topeka (Kans.) Daily Capital: "Why doesn't the Oregon coach who put the basket ball officials in the crow's nest back of the buckboard plant the whlstle- tooters in the stands with the spectators? Who ever heard of a

spectator missing one from his pew?”

Sportpourri—Fight rumors re-

corded—that Mike Jacobs is planning a Joe Louis show at Atlantic City, N. J„ as a favor to Abe Greene, the New Jersey commissioner. And that a move is under way for a welter-weight scrap between Sailor R^i Coch-

r&ne and Young Kid McCoy, who has Just Joined the Army. As three-cushion billiard players, Ted Lyons and Johnny Rigney seem to be pretty good White Sox pitchers. Competing in a tourney at Ted’s Chicago establishment, both had records of no victories and six losses at the last report. Marty CUickman, the ex- Syracuse sprinter, did a neat Job of broadcasting the track meet Saturday without going in for synthetic excitement.

Jost the leaf-ings—at their recent meeting, the International League baseballers got big- hearted and voted to help out the Torento Maple Leafs by providing one player each to build up the last-place squad. First contributions were jack Haley, New- ark pitcher whose arm has been bad since he pitched an 18-in- ning game three years ago, and Lynn Myers, Rochester infielder whose greatest fame came from scoring seven runs in one game without getting a basest. i

Two D. C. Dogs Score In Terrier Clubs' Specialty Show

Scharfeld and Smiley Produce Winners in Combined Exhibit

By R. R. TAYNTON, Star Staff Corrtgpondent.

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—The big winter week in dogdom was ushered in by the Associated Terrier Club's 25th annual combined specialty shows at the Grand Central Palace yesterday. Entries in most breeds were slightly below those of last year. Bull terriers had 75 dogs entered. Cairn terriers had 54 and Scottish terriers, 64. Fox terriers had 47 smooths and 48 wires entered, which technically gave them the largest entry.

A number of dogs owned by fanciers In the Washington area were among the competitors. In airedales, a grand win was chalked up by A1 Gardiner’s Kay’s Princess of Renidrag, who was shown by Tom Oately to first In the American-bred class, winner’s bitch, best of winners and best of opposite sex. Since these specialty shows really are breeders’ shows, attended almost exclusively by terrier breeders interested only in the perfecting of their respective breeds, a win of this sort alone of these shows is cherished doubly.

In bull terriers, Mrs. Mackay- Smith had the best bitch in the American-bred class In her Famley Fair Wind. This is a home-bred that received very favorable attention from the Judge in the winners’ class. Comdr. Ralph Samson's Tantim of Madas placed in the American-bred dog class in Calm terriers. Wire fox terriers brought out two class winners from the Washington neighborhood. Arthur W. Scharfeld’s Lucart Noel Serenador was first novice dog and W. H. Smiley's Willow Spring Galahad was first limit dog. The summaries:

Budge Is Tennis' Best In Current Game, Players Vote

Netmen Say No Amateur May Be Ranked Better Than Fifth in World

By the Associated Press. WEST PALM BEACH, Fit, Feb.

9 —The touring tennis pros believe Don Budge is the greatest player In the game today—and two of 1941's ranking amateurs agree with them.

Budge was an easy winner in a poll or six of the professionals, and he also got first-place votes from Jack Kramer of Oakland. Calif., and Billy Talbert of Cincinnati, amateurs who were rated 9th and 10th, respectively, last year.

Kramer and Talbert agreed with the pros, too. that no amateur player could be ranked higher than fifth today In a list of the world's 10 best.

“I’ll admit we would lose If we

played a series of matches with the pros now.1’ said Kramer. "We would have had a good chance until they got Riggs, Kovacs and Sabin," he added.

The first 10 picked by a consensus of Kramer. Talbert. Wayne Sabin of Reno, Nev.; Walter Senior of Louisville, Kv : Lloyd Budge of Miami Beach. Dick 8keen and Wel- by Van Horn of Los Angeles and E. J. (Slim) Harbett of Miami Beach:

1. Budge: 2. Bobby Riggs: 3, Frank Kovacs; 4, Fred Perry; 5, Frank Parker*: 6. Don McNeil*: 7, Sabin: 8, Skeen: 9, Adrian Qulst*, Aus- tralia: 10, Baron Gottfried von

Cramm. Germany. • Indicates amateur. The eight, players voted William

T. iBill) Tilden the greatest player of all time, according him the honor over Budge by a small mar-

gin. Others receiving substantial sup-

port In the all-time greatest poll were Ellsworth Vines, Rene Lacoste, Perry, H. L. Doherty, famed British player of the early 1900s. and W. M. iLittle Bill) Johnston, American Davis Cup star of two decades ago.

Bill Lewis Stars as Elks Win Blood Bank Bowling Match

Bill Lewis, a comparative new-

comer to the front rank of Wash-

ington bowlers, with a top count of 387 supplied the extra wallop in a

winning score of 1,765 which last

night gave the picked team of Elks their second victory in three years of the Children’s Hospital blood bank fraternal matches staged at Con- vention Hall.

Running second in the eight-team show were the Alinas Temple rollers with 1,725 in which Angelo Bacas starred with the top single string of 142. Perce Ellett’s 374, second high for the tournament, was the big poke as the Odd Fellows finished third with 1,715.

Making their first bid for the championship, the American Legion pinmen, paced by Clarence Zim-

mer’s 268, finished fourth with 1,703. The Mason*, defending champions, were fifth with- 1,«46. Bill Stan- ton’s 355 was the highlight as the Knights of Columbus rollers turned in a sixth-place count of 1,585. Royal Arcanum bowlers led by Harry Aiken’s 347 posted 1,551, and the Knights of Pythias quint wound up last with 1,540.

Other members of the winning Elks combination were Charley (Skeets) Fox with 343; George Gar- rison, 352; Ed Mulvey, 352, and Nor- man Schroth, caDtaln, who after games of 121 and 89 gave way to Charley Young, who rolled 111 In the last game.

General Chairman Leonard Pearce of the Elks stated he expected the fund raised through the sale of tickets would be^more than (700.

Florida Ring Tourists Unlikely To Enjoy Columbus Stopover

Match Tonight Second of Three in Five Days for Gators; Short Proves G. U. Ace

By LEWIS F. ATCHISOX. This Florida team that boxes Columbus at Turner's Arena In

the only item on the local sports agenda either loves fighting or

traveling for th'j Gators' visit merely is a stopover en route to Lansing, Mich., where they end a lengthy jaunt with a third match In five days against Michigan State. ,

The grapefruit leaguers paused last Saturday on their way here to admire the scenery in Char-f- lottesville, Va„ and were kicked around by the tough Cavaliers, 512- 2 Vi, and were quite willing to hit the road. Columbus hopes to bid ’em bon voyage, or whatever it is when you go by train, with another kick in the britches and the Ex- plorers seem able to do It.

A1 McAlear. Columbus heavyweight, will return to action tonight after laying off two weeks with a bruised rib and if his left jab is well oiled and in good working condition he should chop out a decision over Warren Trotter. The Florida heavy lost to Virginia's Milt Parlow through his inability to duck the jab even though willing to take two to get one in.

Capt. Johnny Joca, Florida's former national intercollegiate light- weight champian. and A1 Young, a

persistent 120-pound puncher, scored the Invaders' winning points against Virginia, while Niel Goss. 127- pounder. got the draw. All three are

expected to win tonight, if not too travel weary.

Rugged Test for G. W. Quint. George Washington's courtmer.

face St. John’s of Brooklyn in half a Madison Square Garden double- header tonight and the odds will : be all against them. Never have the Colonials won in the Oarden and with Ed Gustafson, regular center, on the sidelines with a broken bone in his foot tonight doesn't seem to be their night.

One of the gamest fights any Maryland athlete ever waged is credited to Coleman Headley, former all-around athlete and track coach, for whom all hope virtually was abandoned several weeks ago. but who has gained 20 pounds since and is coming along in grand style. Cole- man was shot last July and after several operations and innumerable transfusions is confusing the medical profession by his tenacity and courage.

Denny Hughes was on the spot in the Catholic U.-Maryland matches last Saturday. Heretofore, the Car- dinal* have employed Judges to assist the referee in naming the winners, but in this match, at Mary- land* request, the Judges were dispensed with. Hughes assumed the entire responsibility and the crowd took exception to some of hi* ver- dicts.

The criticism recalls to mind the words of a sports writer several

years ago when Denny was officiating in pro fights and under fire for one of his decisions.

"Maybe his mechanics aren't the best, but he'll get you the winner every time.” the writer said.

We always thought his mechanics were okay and ditto for hia decisions. P. 8. We didn’t see Satur- day’s fights.

New Hard Luck Champion. Jack Oiimore of Maryland lived

up to hi3 hard-luck reputation when the Cards’ Gus Gersin cut him in their fight, but a rival for Gilmore’s unenviable claim to fame popped up In Patrick Quinn, the tall, pleasant Terp 155-pounder. Pat has lost more decisions than a shyster lawyer by hairline margins. His first two fights were against champions, Harry Loftin, Southern Conference 155-pound king, and Mark Me- Oarity, Eastern intercollegiate ruler. His only win In five bouts was a

one-round kayo over Bill Preston of Western Maryland, but the difference between his score and that of his opponents in all bouts is only three points.

Corpl. Chuck Fenske. former Wis- consin star, won the Rodman Wana- maker Mile Trophy, a »500 sterling sliver job. without going to the post in the Millrose A A games at New York Les MacMitchell, N. Y, U. ace who spent Friday in bed with a

heavy cold, took the race in 4:11,3, but to gain permanent possession a

contestant had to win twice in three years. Otherwise it went to the athlete with the best time That's where Fenske came in. Two years ago he copped it in 4:07.4—the year MacMitchell was lapped.

Lou Collado. Georgetown freshman last year who left school, had a lucky night at the races—the same Millrose games. He won the Mill- rose 1.000 when Gene Venzke and Earl Mitchell stumpled and fell a

yard from the finish Later, running anchor on the Carbach A. C. mile redav, he was first home when Jimmy Herbert, Grand Street Bo\s Club runner, lost the baton on the last lap.

Hugh Short, an important cog in Georgetown's victorious mile quartet which was clocked in the second fastest time of the night at New York, holds the National A. A. U. 1,000-yard high school record of 2:19.2 and Hap Hardell says he hasn’t yet begun to run.

Steel Priorities Add to Woes Piling Up for Capital Golfers

Rough Will Flourish as Mowing Machines Are Scarce; Kenwood Aide to Enlist

Bv WALTER McCALLUM. Shortage of those big gang mowers that keep your favorite

golf course trimmed neat and clean when the grass grows thick and lush in the summer may be another outgrowth of the wrar.

For the clubs which have fairly new equipment the situation may not be serious for several years, but for those links organizations which have old equipment and planned to buy new mowers It may be serious. Mowers are made of*--- steel and steel happens to be on the priority list.

One of the equipment men puts it this way: “We can order mower

equipment and get an acknowledge- ment, but the dealers cannot guarantee delivery for months, if they guarantee it at all. And the situation isn't going to get any better.”

Those big gang mowers (you may have noticed them* are modern and important factors in the upkeep of your golf course. Without them, and the motorized equipment which all courses use nowadays, golf would have to go back to the laborious horse-drawn cutting tools of 25 to 30 years ago. The fairways wouldn't be so immaculate, the rough would grow thick and high and the entire game would change.

Cox Looks Ahead. Wiffy Cox, always a jump ahead

of the times, has an idea that a lot of members of Congressional may want to save precious rubber this year by leaving their automobiles at home. That is, Wiffy figures they would if there was any other way to get to the club. Wiffy has figured out a way.

The Cabin John streetcar line runs within about three miles of Congressional. Wiffy says It wouldn’t be much of a chore to operate a bus between the streetcar terminal at Cabin John Bridge and the club, if the members show sufficient interest to Justify the ex-

pense of the bus. Lew Fahrenwald, Kenwood as- j

sistant pro, is disappointed because j he couldn’t get in the Air Corps,

but Lew plans to Join the Marine Corps tomorrow. "That is. I'll Join if I can pass the physical exam." says Lew. He has been trying for weeks to get into the military serv-

ice, but his leaving won't be any comfort to George Diflenbaugh. Lew has been one of the valued as-

sistant pros around town. Augusta Trip Planned.

Dave Thomson, Washington Golf and Country Club pro, again will be the guest of the Augusta crowd of Washington businessmen when some 30 golfers from many of the local clubs travel to Augusta around Feb- ruary 18 for a three or four day links holiday. The party, shep- herded by "Lefty" Harrell, may not be as large as usual this year, but they are planning the trip over the Washington's Birthday holiday Just the same.

For years Dave has handled the usual four-day golf tournament as the guest of the men who go on the trip. He'll do it again this year, and at the same time will take movies of the golfers, to be shown later at a dinner at the Washington club.

High winds kept down the num-

ber of llnksmen at many of the clubs over the week end, but many of the hardy souls who must have their round of golf whaektd golf balls around winter fainrayi Kenwood had around 40. Congressional about the same, while Oolumbla had 80. The public course*, particularly Hock Creek Park, haa good crowds in view of the weather conditions.

Fifth District Bank Reports Sharp Gains In Industry

Multiple Shifts Forced On Many Factories

As Demand Expands Bv EDWARD C. STONE.

Details from the Federal Reserve

Bank of Richmond's annual survey fcf 1941, just published, reveal a

surprising array of new records in

trade and industry, practically all

plants being on full time and many on a multiple shift basis.

Cotton textile mills consumed tnore cotton than in any other

earlier year and were so fully en-

gaged on defense orders that much

civilian business had to be declined.

Rayon yarn mills operated at

capacity during all of 1941, but

oould not meet all demands for

rayon after the Government im-

pounded raw silk stocks.

Shipyards in the district employed every trained workman they could obtain, and used every available Shipway in the yards. Several addi-

tions were made to existing yards

fnd new yards were opened. Aircraft Factories Rushed.

Aircraft factories expanded facili-

ties as rapidly as possible, and

Jreally increased ability to deliver lanes of all types. The chemical industry expanded

facilities to meet constantly increas-

ing demands for defense material, *nd a large number of small indus-

tries which were able to tie into the

War preparations received all the

orders they could handle. ; The demand from industry and

transportation for coal greatly stimulated mining in the district, and bituminous coal production in West Virginia. Virginia and Mary- land rose 12 per cent above 1940 out-

put, in spite of the fact that virtually all mines were closed during April, 1941, by a labor dispute.

In the construction field, 1941 witnessed an enormous volume of work in the district.

Distribution of goods to consumers

rose notably, sales of 79 department stores being up 20 per cent from 1940, while furniture sales increased 24 per cent.

Mayflower Earnings Jump. Mayflower Hotel Corp. reports net

earnings for 1941 as $270,516. equal to 69 cents a share on 389,738 out-

standing shares of stock, in com-

parison with $171,620. or 44 cents a

share in the previous year, and

$17,417 in the year 1939.

The sharp gain in earnings re-

flects the greatly expanded business which the hotels have enjoyed during the past year. The Mayflower had practically capacity business throughout 1941.

Anticipating the favorable annual report, Mayflower Hotel securities, sold over the counter, have recently advanced steadily. The two bond Issues have displayed particular strength.

Insurance Sales Mount. Home Life of New York in Jan-

uary established a new all-time record for a single month of paid for production—the best month in 82 years. The increase amounted to 109 per cent above January's production a year ago and exceeded the total production of January- Fehruary of any year since 1930*

Substantial gains in all directions were made by Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Co. during 1941, says President Bertrand J. Perry, in reporting to the policyholders. New insurance sales were $133,537,493, a

gain of $7,085,116, or 5.6 per cent over the previous year. Insurance in force December 31 was $2,025,- 443.549. an increase of $35,757,567 for the year.

Bankers Attend Banquet. Many members of Washington

Chapter, American Institute of Banking, and other Washington financiers attended the annual dinner of New York Chapter Saturday night. About 1,400 were present, not quite as many as last year. The Washington guests were most en-

thusiastic over the whole program. Members of Washington Chapter

present Included John M. Christie, chapter president; Kenneth Birg- feld. George M. Rowzee, jr.; J. Earle McGeary, W. L. Sanderson, Miss Leona Draeger, Joseph R. Fitzpat- rick and Paul J. Seltzer.

Among other bankers from Wash- ington were Wilmer J. Waller and Warren R. Forster, Hamilton Na- tional: I. J. Roberts, Riggs National: Rutherford J. Dooley, National Bank of Washington, and Richard A. Norris, Lincoln National.

H. H. McKee Felicitated. H. H. McKee, president of the Na-

tional Capital Bank and East Wash- ington Savings Bank, was felicitated today by a host of fellow-workers on the occasion of his 77th birthday. He received a huge bouquet of flowers from the District Bankers’ As- sociation.

Mr. McKee has been one of the city’s leading financiers for many years. For a long time he was one of the most active members of the American Bankers’ Association, being one of the leading speakers at many national conventions. His knowledge of banking technicalities has always been considered remarkable.

In addition to being at the head of two banks, he is also chairman of the Washington Clearing House, an

office of unusual importance. Riggs Bank Common Climbs.

Five shares of Riggs National Bank common stock sold on the Washington Exchange today at 280, up 5 points. In January’ a single share sold at 260, 20 points lower than today’s figure. Riggs preferred sold today at 101'2.

Twenty shares of Washington Gas common moved at 19**, up an

eighth, while tiny sales of Gas Pre- ferred registered 99 ts. Capital Tran- sit had a turnover of 36 shares at 22, unchanged.

Heard in Financial District. While the American Bankers' As-

sociation favors the proposal to vest in the Federal Reserve Banks au-

thority to buy Government direct from the Treasury’, approval is given only on the condition that the au-

thority be terminated at the end of the war.

Today's change of time caused hardly a ripple in the financial district. In a few offices the clocks were still on the old schedule.

Loan Leaders in Chicago. C. Clinton James, Columbia Per-

manent Building Association, and Edward C. Baltz, Perpetual Building Association, are in Chicago attend- ing the meeting of the executive council of the United States Sav-

ings and Loan League. Both are former presidents of the national organization.

Chicago Grain By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO. Feb. 9—With news from Singapore chilling would-be buyers, the grain market today suffered from a restricted trade, and prices moved nervously around previous closing levels. An early attempt to advance, which added fractions to most grains and a cent or more to rye and soybean prices, was

nipped in the bud. Further weakness of feeds, with

prices lowered at some points, due, traders said, to the Government's policy in offering 1939-40 wheat for livestock consumption, was reflected in the grain market. Spot corn was quoted '--l cent lower early in the day. Shipping business in grain to move eastward from here was virtually at a standstill.

Wheat closed unchanged to 14 lower compared with yesterday's finish, May, 1.28July, 1.30'„->4; corn, *4-'2 higher. May, 86^: July, SS^s-u; oat-s unchanged to ’4 off: rye. '4-ss higher; soybeans, '4 off to s8 up.

Late buying of corn, that lifted prices fractionally, was attributed to brokers representing industrial users.

War Reports Depress Stocks Fractions To Point or So

Few Recoveries Staged in Closing Hour; Trading Slow

By VICTOR EUBANK, Associated Pres* Financial Writer.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9.—The war

news today intimated buyers in the

stock market but, on the other hand, brought out no urgent liquid- ation.

Faltering tendencies appeared at the start as rails joined Industrials in cutting prices by fractions. The retreat was extended a bit farther around midday. There were a few combacks in the final hour although these were unconvincing. Closing losses running to a point or so were

widely distributed. The ticker tape loafed during most

of the proceedings and transfers for the full stretch approximated 400.000 shares, another of the lightest turn- overs since last October.

The plight of Singapore, as Jap- anese invaders pressed their siege of this British stronghold, did more than anything else to depress specu. lative and investment sentiment, brokers said. Fears Gen. MacAr- thur's stand in the Philippines might become more precarious also con- tributed to the slightly bearish market picture and caused the lighten- ing of commitments here and there or the withdrawal of bids.

On the hopeful side was another assortment of good earnings statements and the official estimate this weeks steel mill operations would rise .5 of a point at 98.2 per cent of capacity.

New lows for the past year or longer were posted for Dow Chem- ical and Du Pont. In arrears most of the day were United States Steel. Bethlehem, Chrysler, General Mo- tors, American Telephone. Santa Fe, New York Central, Southern Pacific, Southern Railway, Great Northern. Western Union, Ameri- can Smelting, Sears Roebuck, Mont- gomery Ward, United Aircraft, J. I. Case. Allied Chemical. Johns- Manville, Westinghouse and Stand- ard Oil (New Jersey*.

The majority of utilities, rubbers, coppers and aircrafts held reces- sions to minor amounts.

Bonds Unevenly Lower. The bond market drifted irregular-

ly lower with trading at a minimum and most changes either way registered in small fractions as the final hour approached.

New York Cotton 1 By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. Feb. 9—Cotton futures scored small gains today on moderate trade and speculative buying which disclosed only limited offerings.

Traders expected some action by the farm bloc in an attempt to cir- cumvent the administration’s efforts to hold farm prices down and as a result traders were cautious on either side.

Late prices were 25 to 50 cents a bale higher; March, 18 49; May, 18 77. and January. 19 01.

By Institute By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK.. Feb. 9.—The Na- tion's steel mills will produce the third highest tonnage on record this week when 1,622,400 tons of steel will be turned out, the American Iron and Steel Institute estimated today.

A month ago outDUt was 1,615,800 tons and the rate 97.8 per cent and a

year ago the operations were at 97.1 per cent of capacity and production amounted to 1,567,100 tons.

Slag Yields Scrap. YOUNGSTOWN. Ohio. Feb. 9 (/Pi.

—Digging for steel in a slag pile is the latest maneuver to overcome the scrap shortage at the steel mills.

Each month the Republic Steel Crop, is digging 1.000 to 1,500 tons of first quality scrap steel out of an

old slag heap at a nearby Warren plant. Its "scrap miners” get ma-

terials valued at $20,000 to $32,000 in a month's time, and the practice may be spread to other slag piles in this steel area.

Scrap shortages and higher prices have made it profitable to send tractors, Diesel-powered shovels and labor crews digging into slag dumps.

Increase in Theater Attendance Boosts Film Earnings

Diversion of Spending To Amusements Seen In New Survey

Spicia! Dispatch to The Star. BOSTON, Feb. 9 —Gains In do-

mestic theater receipts and income from film rentals are lifting motion picture company earnings despite the loss of former foreign business, says the United Business Service.

Motion picture attendance this year expected to extend the es-

timated 6 per cent increase in 1941. Stimulus will come from increased public buying power and the diversion of more spending into amusement channels as supplies of other goods are curtailed. The auto situation will cause dislocations, but is unlikely to curb total box office receipts.

A continued moderate uptrend in average theater admission will also help to swell total 1942 theater receipts.

Producers are planning to turn out more and better films in 1942. There will be more class A features and fewer class B films. The industry is also producing some pictures for the Government and armed services. Such business, however, will not bulk large in relation to income from regular operations.

Production costs and tax burdens will be higher this year than in 1941. Material shortages, however, are not a major worry. The war drain on talent will not be a serious handicap and there are no current indications that unexposed film supplies will be curbed.

The service also points out that the major movie companies will be allowed to withdraw 50 per cent of profits up to October 31, 1942, from British operations instead of the 35 per cent limit recently in force. Also they will be permitted to withdraw 50 per cent of funds previously -frozen." With British theater attendance running above prewar levels these funds will add considerably to total 1942 cash income.

Every day last year, Massachusetts Mutual paid $127,000 to policyholders and beneficiaries. These payments, amounting to over forty-six million dollars in 1941 alone, assured daily necessities and, in general, made normal life possible for many families. There could be no better monument to thrift and forethought, than the steady flow of these life insurance dollars to the homes of our country.

The continuing need for protecting home solvency is greater today than ever before. With more life insurance and annuities in force than at any time in its over ninety years of faithful service, Massachusetts Mutual assures financial security for it* policyholders and their families.

The morale of our fighting men and our defense workers is sustained by the fact that through life insurance, they were enabled to establish a backlog of security for the home folks. For the same reason, life insurance aids in maintaining the strong citizen morale, so essential to our country’s complete victory over the common enemy.

But strong morale must be supported by the implements of war. For this purpose, our Government must have money. Rec- ognizing this need, Massachusetts Mutual owns the lawful maximum of Defense Bonds, and this year will substantially increase its investments in United States Government obligations.

WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1942. *♦. B—1

Taxicab Supply Fails to Meet Pickup Demand

Some Citizens Wait 20 Minutes in Cold As Service Opens

(Picture on Page A-2.)

Washington had the misfor- tune of picking one of the cold- est days of the year to inaugu- rate its taxicab pickup service

today. As a result, .opinion was

sharply divided on the merits of the new system.

There was wailing, loud and long, from frost-bitten citizens who waited in the piercing wind for as long as

M minutes without seeing a single pickup jitney.

But those who found cabs stopping where none had stopped before were

full of praise for the new service.

If there were 2,400 pickup cabs in service, though—that’s how many there were supposed to be—many of them must have been doing their

picking up elsewhere than Wash- ington. Either that, or a lot of cab drivers must have decided it was

Just too cold to get up early. Or maybe they didn’t set their clocks ahead to war time.

There were lots of cabs, but the demand far exceeded the supply. This was true, at least, on the major thoroughfares in the residential districts—on Fourteenth and Sixteenth streets, on Connecticut and Georgia avenues.

Frederic A. Delano, chairman of the National Capital Park and Planning Commission, who originated the idea of the pick-up serv-

ice, used it himself in traveling from his home at 2400 Sixteenth street to his office in the State De-

partment. When Mr. Delano stepped outside,

accompanied by his nephew;, War- ren Delano, he waved to another resident of Hotel 2400 and they all got in one cab together. At Eight- eenth street and New Hampshire avenue N.W. another man hailed the cab and climbed in the front j ■eat. i

Mr. Delano and one of the other passengers, who was going to the i War Production Board, got out at the State Department. The cab went on to the War-Navy Building on Constitution avenue and Mr. Delano’s nephew and the fourth passenger got out there.

80 Cents for Driver.

“That meant 80 cents for the cab j driver, instead of 40 cents," Mr. Delano said. “I think the drivers ; will like it if they'll give it a lair trial.”

Mr. Delano said the man who was

going to the War Production Board took a street car from Seventeenth Street and Pennsylvania avenue.

Lucille Foster McMillin of the Civil Service Commission, who also lives at Hotel 2400, offered her cab to two other women—Miss Eliza- beth Wright, who was going to the British Purchasing Commission in

the Grafton Hotel, and Mrs. Mildred Kaiser, who went to Twelfth and G

atreets N.W.

Jack Royer, head of the District Taxicab Owners’ Association, didn't want to gamble on not having a cab for the originator of the plan, so he had one waiting when Mr. Delano came out of the hotel.

Richard Royer, brother of Jack Royer, stood in front of the Cavalier Hotel between 7:30 and 8:30, and found plenty of people waiting for cabs, but few empty ones came by. Many “got disgusted and took a

street car,” he said. Gregory Hankin. chairman of the

Public Utilities Commission, who shared his cab with another man

and two girls, said he was “favorably impressed” with the way the system was working. He said the pickup cabs did not appear to be caus-

ing any congestion. Reporter’s Luck Changes.

A reporter waited about 10 minutes at Nineteenth street and Columbia road, but only one pickup cab stopped during that time, and-it was

going in the wrong direction for the reporter. A short while later, he was Joined by a girl employe of the War Production Board, and luck changed for the better.

A cab made a U-tum and the reporter and the woman jumped in. About 75 yards away, they stopped to pick up a man standing in front ef his apartment. He was pretty cold, and pretty angry.

The young woman, Mrs. Cather- ine Ray. thought the new service might work out. The other passenger, who turned out to be H. H. McClure, assistant director of the Census Bureau, observed:

“I’ve been riding taxicabs to work for 8 years, and I don’t think I’ve ever had such a time getting one. The drivers seem to be staying at home today.”

Driver Stays Home Late. The driver, Peter Holmes, inter-

rupted to say he had stayed home late today, not because he needed the rest but because he was scared to give the new system a try. He said he didn’t know much about the system, and seemed to be having quite a time adjusting all the signs in a pile on the front seat. The cabs carry signs showing their destination.

Most drivers seemed to be pleased by the extra fares.

"Most people aren’t particular about having other passengers who are strangers to them," one driver commented. “All they want is a

cab—especially on mornings like this.”

Capital Transit Co. officials said the jitney service had had no no- ticeable effect on the streetcar and bus passenger loads, but added that it would take several days to determine whether there had been any substantial shift to cabs.

The Public Utilities Commission authorised a 30-day trial of the pickup service, with cabs from 14 taxi companies participating. The serv-

ice, at a rate of 20 cents per person, is applicable only to Zones 1 and 3 and effective only from 7:30 to 1:30 ajn. and from 3:30 to 6:30 pm. daily. Each cab has a car board.

Auxiliary Police To Guard Spans, Young Reveals Commissioner Young revealed to-

day that orders had been issued to Maj. Edward J. Kelly, superintendent of police, to select 50 men from the auxiliary police force of 3,000 for guard duty at bridges, reservoirs and public works to replace soldiers who are being removed from these posts.

The 50 auxiliary policemen, Mr. Young told the House District Com- mittee, will form the nucleus of a reserve force that may eventually be increased to 500. They are to be paid $5 a day.

Commissioner Young’s disclosure came during criticism by Repre- sentative Hebert, Democrat, of Louisiana, of the use of regular policemen as guards on public utility properties.

“It has come to my attention that 180 cops are being used to guard the property of the public utilities,” Mr. Hebert declared. "There has recently been a series of attacks on women and children in this city. Our committee recommended an increase in the police force for the protection of the people of Washington, not to guard private property.”

Commissioner Young explained that about 60 policemen had been used to guard public utility plants, but that they are to be replaced by guards paid by the utility com-

panies.

One Killed, Two Hurt In Traffic Accidents In Nearby Area

Chief Clerk in Office Of Field Artillery Dies As Car Leaves Road

D.C. Traffic Toll Killed in 1942..16 Killed in same period of 1941 14 Toll for all of 1941_95

A man was killed and two others injured, one critically, in traffic accidents in nearby Maryland and Virginia over the week end.

Master Sergt. Fred Lind, 47, chief clerk in the Office of the Chief of Field Artillery, was killed early yesterday when his car ran off the approach to the one-way bridge over the abandoned W. B. & A. Railroad tracks on the Landover-Largo road, and plunged down a 30-foot em-

bankment. Dr. James I. Boyd, Prince Georges County medical examiner, issued a certificate of accidental death.

Served in World War. Sergt. Lind had been in the field

artillery since his first enlistment in 1914, and served with the 1st Divi- sion through all its engagements in France during the first World War. He had been chief clerk in the chief's office here since the division returned from overseas. He is sur-

vived by his widow, Mrs. Florence Nell Lind. His home was at 300 East Luray avenue, Alexandria, Va. Funeral arrangements had not been completed today.

Edward Lunsford, 27, of 1024 Meunt Vernon avenue, Alexandria, was in an undetermined condition in Alexandria Hospital after an accident on the Alexandria-Fairfax road near Annandale last night. His car struck a telephone pole, ac-

cording to Fairfax County police. He suffered a head injury and was still unconscious today.

In Critical Condition. Elias Joseph, 61, of 3528 White-

haven parkway N.W., a member of the District grand jury, was still in a critical condition in Casualty Hos- pital today from injuries received late Saturday at the intersection of Baltimore boulevard and Queens- bury road in Riverdale.

Maryland State police said Mr. Joseph was helping a man across

the road when he was struck by a

car operated by William Murphy, 40. colored, of Cedar Heights, Md. The driver was charged with reckless driving and operating a car

without adequate brakes. Mr. Joseph suffered a fractured

skull and internal injuries and was

taken to the hospital by the Bla-

densburg Rescue Squad. His wile and children, with whom he had been visiting relatives in the vicinity, witnessed the accident.

Drivers Carry 16 Cards. The drivers also carry 16 printed

cardboard strips Indicating possible destinations. Six are for the morning rush hour and 10 for the evening. The person getting in first controls the destination of the cab.

Some drivers apparently were con- fused by the signs. One came by on Sixteenth street with a "Pennsyl- vania avenue" sign displayed. Mr. Royer said this one was for use in the evening for people going to Southeast Washington via Pennsyl- vania avenue.

Engineers Study Statler Hotel Rebuilding Job

Beams Tested to Fix Amount of Steel To Be Replaced

With fire damage to the steel skeleton of the Statler Hotel estimated at more than $300,000, engineers today started testing the great beams to determine how much of the structure will have to be rebuilt.

Cause of the blaze still is undetermined.

The fire, which drew more than 60 pieces of eqigpment on five alarms and two special alarms at sunset yesterday, buckled many of the steel beams and destroyed most of the boards filled with concrete on the lower floors of the projected 11-story structure.

District building inspectors today faced the dangerous Job of climbing around on the ice-laden beams and girders to see how much steel work must come down. Chief of Building Inspectors Robert H. Davis said he believed beams could be replaced without much trouble. Other parts of the structure may need reinforce- ment.

Stee! Replacement Is Problem. The main problem was getting

more steel in the face of rigid priorities. Statler Hotel officials, congre- gating here from New York, said they had not yet gone into the matter of priorities and estimated it would take a week to determine the extent of damage and delay to construction. Work was halted on the structure pending an investigation.

An unofficial Fire Department estimate of damage ran to more than $500,000. All steel work had been done on the structure which will cost $8,500,000 when completed.

Fire damage was not limited to the great red-painted skeleton at Sixteenth and K streets N.W. Flames leaped across the narrow alley between the structure and the Investment Building, fanned by a 40-mile wind. Investment Building agents said 63 offices were damaged by fire and water in addition to the side of the building itself.

480 Firemen Battle Blase. Four hundred firemen were called

to battle the blaze which raged for an hour and a half before it was

brought under control. First to respond was No. 1 Engine Co., less than a block away. Before the company could get out of the station on a local alarm, the first alarm came in from the box.

Capt. Oscar Letter-man of the third precinct called in 150 auxiliary policemen as well as reserves of regular police from other precincts. Coming in from other precincts with the regular police were another 150 auxiliary police on their first emer-

gency duty. Scores of auxiliary firemen assisted

police in holding back the spectators, estimated at 10.000. A local radio station broadcast announcing the fourth alarm drew crowds that stretched as far north as Scott Circle.

Streets were cleared of traffic from H to M streets and from Fourteenth to Seventeenth streets N.W.

Flames Leap High Into Air. Flames leaped as high as 50 feet

above the steel structure as slabs of concrete on the lower floors crashed to the ground. Long after the fire was under control great sparks leaped from the Inaccessible center of the structure, where the wooden scaffolding for the elevator was burning.

While there were various theories as to the cause of the Are, no official explanation was available until a complete investigation has been made. One fireman said he was told fire was early observed In four separate parts of the structure, following an explosion.

Andrew Onderdonk, an employe of the Aetna Life Insurance Co. in the Investment Building said he saw smoke filtering from a lumber pile covered with canvas on the west side of the second floor of the structure. When he noticed flames lick- ing through the canvas, he said, he called the Fire Department and was still on the phone when the area around the lumber pile burst into flame.

Thomas Stelle, watchman for the hotel, said he had toured the premises at 4:40 pm. and found nothing amiss. He said he later turned in an alarm as did other residents of the neighborhood. The first alarm was recorded at 5:02 pm.

First-Aid Station Set Up. A first-aid station, including three

cots, an inhalator and all first-aid equipment, was set up screws the street at the United Fruit Co. offices, 1514 K street N.W., with much of the equipment drawn from the Arlington Rescue Squad, but it went unused.

The only casualty was Fireman Charles French of Arlington, who stepped on a nail. He was treated at Emergency Hospital.

The Chevy Chase Rescue Unit also had two ambulances on the scene and the gas company had a truck standing by. As police and firemen worked in the bitter cold, showered with water from the fire tower, the University Club and a nearby drug store kept men on the scene supplied with coffee.

All ranking police officials were called from their homes on the fourth alarm and all off duty firemen were summoned to duty to man utility equipment at their fire stations.

The structure was scheduled for completion late in the summer. Its 1,000 rooms either were to be used to relieve the acute shortage of hotel facilities or were to be taken over

as emergency office space for the Government.

Investment Offices Damaged. While the ciowds gazed skyward

at the leaping flames and thick pall of smoke which hung over the downtown area, employes of the Invest- ment Building played building hoses over the threatened offices and many occupants of the building rushed to remove important papers.

Offices In the rear of the building facing the skeleton structure on the third and fourth floors suffered

CONSTRUCTION JOB GOES UP IN FLAMES—Seen through the branches of a tree across the street, flames are shown leaping through the steel skeleton of the Hotel Statler being built at Sixteenth and K streets N.W. The fire, starting late yester-

day at the bottom, went up through five floors, consuming wooden forms and building materials. The blaze, which cast off

huge volumes of heavy smoke, drew a large crowd and tied up traffic for several hours. —A. P. Photo.

66 Demolition Squads Set Up by Officials Of D. C. Civil Defense

15 Trained Workers Compose Each Group; Trucks, Tools Provided

Complete organization of demolition squads in the District civilian defense setup was announced today by officials in charge.

Under the direction of Stanford Abel, official of a local wrecking company, and Anthony J. Scullen, dean of the school of engineering at Catholic University, the city has been divided into 22 districts. In each of these three 'demolition squads will be based on school lots within the area.

• Officials said the districts do not necessarily conform to the air raid warden zones but were determined by the character and number of buildings.

Toolsheds will be constructed on the school lots by local contractors. Each squad will consist of a foreman, 4 carpenters and 10 laborers and will be equipped with two trucks to transport the men and tools wherever they may be needed within their area to strengthen or demolish buildings and walls.

Squad headquarters have been established in each district and supervisors appointed. The laborers will be provided by the Central Labor Union.

Supervisors and their assistants will be sworn In at a meeting at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday at Woodrow Wilson High School.

The laborers, it was said, would be picked up by truck from specified meeting places and taken to their respective headquarters in event of an emergency.

Rockefeller Praises Rio Parley Results

Nelson Rockefeller, co-ordinator of inter-American affairs, declared last night that the American republics, as a result of the Rio de Janeiro conference, “are waging total war,

by the democratic processes.” Mr. Rockefeller spoke in the

American Forum of the Air. In the discussion group were Warren Lee Pierson, president of the Export Im-

port Bank; Laurence Duggan, State Department; Carl B. Spaeth, assistant inter-American co-ordinator; Undersecretary of Commerce Wayne C. Taylor and Blair Bolles of The Evening Star.

the most damage. Window frames were burned out, panes destroyed and ceiling plaster cracked and blistered. Loose papers on desks near the windows were charred and wate^-soaked.

Damaged offices in the Invest- ment Building included the Fidelity Mutual Life Insurance Co., District Agency Insurance Co., J. J. O’Con- nor, realtor; Brachears, Townsend, O’Brien & Beasley, insurance firm; General Accident & Fire Assurance Co., Cooper-Bessemer Corp.; Den-

ning & Cross, law firm; Northwest- ern Mutual Life Insurance Co., which takes up most of the sixth, floor west wing, and the National Fertilizer Insurance Co.

Flames Sweep Shed. A shed below ground level in the

rear of the office building was damaged and more than a foot of water damaged electrical apparatus and other equipment in the basement. The building’s entire maintenance force was called to emergency duty.

In other sections of the city yesterday was no day of rest for firemen. Earlier in the day a two- alarm fire swept through the roofs of 163T and 1639 Marion street N.W., but no one was hurt.

Late in the evening firemen re-

turning from the Statler Hotel blaze were called to a three-alarm fire which was thought to have been started by an oil stove at 1726 Tenth street N.W. and promptly spread to dwellings on both sides. Mrs. Sarah Jackson, colored. 40, of 1726 Tenth street was carried down a ladder from the second floor of her home.

Two Marine Aviators Unhurt by Forced Landing in Park

Wing Tip Sheared Off As Plane Smashes Through Shade Trees

Shearing off a wing tip as he smashed through shade trees in Anacostia Park this morning, Maj. R. D. Salmon of the Marine Corps landed his fast observation mono- plane on its nose in the recreation area and a yioment later he and his passenger climbed uninjured from their precarious seat in the almost perpendicular fuselage.

Soldiers of a guard regiment drilling on a field in the park just west of Eleventh street first saw

the plane coming toward them at a low altitude with the motor sput- tering. The soldiers scattered, be- lieving the airplane was about to make a forced landing on their drill field. One startled rookie declared he heard the pilot cry out a warn-

ing to ‘‘duck” as the ship swung overhead.

Maj. Salmon had just taken oft from Anacostia air field on a routine flight. Observers in the park field house saw the plane swing east across Eleventh street and man-

euver for a landing between rows of small maples. The left wing tip smashed into the top branches and swung the plane toward the Ana- costia River. The ship struck the ground and bounced about a hundred yards, plowing through the

upper branches of three more trees. It landed nose down with the fuselage at a steep angle. The impact tore the engine from its mooring and wreckage of the wing was

strewn behind the plane. Maj. Salmon and his passenger.

Staff Sergt. Andrew F. Marshall, attached to the Anacostia field, climbed down unassisted. Soldier guards were placed about the plane pending salvage operations.

A Navy spokesman said the cause

of the accident was "undetermined.” Spectators, however, were unani- mous that the engine’s power was

failing rapidly and that Maj. Sal- mon made the best of a bad situation.

Meeting Cancellation Delays Lanham Bill

The granting of privileged status to the Lanham $50,000,000 bill for war housing facilities in and near

Washington was delayed temporarily when the House Rules Com- mittee had to call off a meeting scheduled for this morning.

Representative Lanham, Demo- crat, of Texas is hopeful of early action, however, on his request for a special rule to bring the measure

before the House. It already has been reported favorably from the Public Buildings and Grounds Com- mittee. The Rules Committee may hold an executive session later today on another matter, but it is net certain the housing bill will be taken up.

Little Confusion Marks Change To War Time

Advance of Hour Increases Traffic Before Dawn

Washington, in common with the rest of the country, today got up an hour earlier—and turned on the lights—in order to save electricity.

The Nation went on “war time” at 2 a.m. and the docks were moved ahead one hour. The schedule will prevail for the duration.

The first apparent result of the shift was that early vehicular traffic ordinarily moving in full daylight at this time of year, was proceeding under lights until nearly 8 o’clock, and traffic lights also were operating.

Step Beyond Daylight Time. The change to “war time”—Presi-

dent Roosevelt so named it—in the United States was somewhat com-

parable to the action taken by other belligerent nations when the war

began more than two years ago, and goes a step farther than "daylight saving” time established in the last war.

In that conflict, this country moved its clocks up only from March to October, the period that cut- tomarily has been observed in those communities annually observing daylight time.

Transportation services and the radio industry looked for little confusion. Indeed, they have been advocating the Nation-wide step on a year 'round basis to supplant summer daylight time observance spotted over the countr^.

Proponents of the measure, including President Roosevelt have asserted that the advanced time would contribute to the Nation's available electric power supply by leveling off some of the demand peaks.

One pre-war estimate was that 750.000 kilowatts of power capacity, equal to about 1.000,000 horsepower for industry, would be saved. The Federal Power Commission plans to make a detailed study in an effort to measure accurately the effect of “daylight saving” time.

Radio Schedules Unchanged. There will be no immediate

changes in transportation or radio schedules as a result of the new time standards. In other words, the commuters’ special will pull out at 8:15, as usual, and favorite radio programs will be aired at their regular hour as far as the clock goes, but the clocks will be showing “war time” instead of the old

! standard time. The only real change occasioned

by “faster time” will be the relation between clocks and sun, which will rise and set an hour earlier, so far as the United States is concerned.

Here is where the farmers run into trouble. In the hay and grain harvesting season, the workers don't get into the fields until about 9 am., when the dew is off the ground, and "the last hour of' the day is the best one” as they put it Where fanners hire labor, the cus-

tomary hour for them to report is 7 am., and in consequence, there will be an hour lost, or. perhaps even more, when rain has fallen during the night.

The law provides for a return to the old standards in the four-time zones six months after the end of the war. People who lost an hour * sleep will regain it then.

Tricky Pay Question. The change in hours posed a

tricky pay question involving the status of night workers that probably will be dropped in the lap of the General Accounting Office. The point is, whether workers on shifts that were shortened an hour by the new schedule are to lose that time. Officials believed that personnel em-

ployed on a per diem or per annum basis would not be affected, but that those paid by the hour would be.

At the Government Printing Office the midnight to 8 a.m. shift was permitted to work until 9 a.m., where possible, to avert a pay loss. Where this could not be done, the hour was charged against annual leave, which also permitted the em-

ployes to be paid. Those who had no annual leave due, however, lost the hour.

The Bureau of Engraving and Printing also works a night force, but it was said it was not affected.

Garrett and Queen Anne s

Schools Open at 9:30 Bj the Associated Press.

For the duration Marylanders swung over today to wartime daylight saving time to ‘‘conserve’’ sun-

light and save electric power. In at least two counties. Garrett

and Queen Annes, schools opened at 9:30 a.m. war time, so that farm children might have daylight to

perform early Inoming chors. A point to be cleared up was

that of saloons and taverns, whether they might be able to stay open an hour later because of Mary- land’s ‘‘standard time” statute.

The question was to be submitted to Attorney General William C. Walsh today. The daylight saving time was an act of Congress and some quarters said could thus be applied legally only to common carriers and the Federal Govern- ment. No proclamation setting war

time was issued by Gov. O’Conor.

Brookings Data On Montgomery Hit by Expert

Zone Plan Author Says Survey Shows 'Lack of Knowledge'

The Brookings Institution recommendations on planning and zoning In Montgomery County, outlined in a

survey last year, would, if adopted, reduce planning in the Maryland- Washington area to a hollow shell, Alfred Bettman, Cincinnati planning expert, declared today In an analysis sharply critical of the au-

thors’ understanding of the problem. He characterized the survey as

permeated with "fundamental fallacies,” frequently showing a “hope- less confusion as to the nature of planning and the functions of a

planning commission.” Mr, Bettman. one of thg authors

of the legislation creating the coun-

ty’s planning and zoning setup and establishing the Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission, submitted his analysis at the request of a committee named by Mont- gomery County commissioners shortly after the Brookings survey was

completed. Addressing his report to J. Bond

Smith, counsel for the park and planning commission and chairman of the county commissioners’ com-

mittee, Mr. Bettman concluded: “But as for the Brookings report,

the authors either do not understand county, city, regional or district planning, or, if they understand it, believe in throwing it out and have not been frank enough to say so, for just as, under their recom-

mendations. the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Com- mission would become a hollow shell, so, under their recommendations, the planning of the District or

county would become a hollow shell.”

"Lack of Knowledge” Charged. Mr. Bettman declared the Brook-

ings recommendations showed “such an utter lack of knowledge about and understanding of planning, including zoning, that the inclusion of them in a report by such a reputable agency as the Brookings In- stitution is incredible.”

Statements and recommendations In the Brookings survey were described as “fallacies, misconcep- tions and confusions" in Mr. Bett- man’s report.

Turning to specific portions of the Brookings survey, Mr. Bettman •aid:

“For instance, on page 386 the statement is made that ‘the planning includes the study of general physical developments except parks, parkways and recreational facilities. • • •’ Now, of course, no

planning of the Maryland-Wash- ington regional district, in the sense

In which planning is used in the

itatute, could fail to include parks, parkways and recreational facilities, as they are amongst the important functional uses of the land of the district. • • •

School Site Opinion Challenged. "One wonders whether the authors

©f the portions of the report dealing with planning have ever read the

planning statute.” Mr. Bettman stated there was "no

warrant” for the survey's authors to "venture Into the field of constitutional law* on page 388, where they expressed the opinion that, in subdivision regulation, "reservation of school sites would be illegal.”

There are statutes and regulations which provide for the mandatory reservation of school sites and small neighborhood parks in large sub- divisions, he stated, and should the question ever come to litigation there is a good chance that the courts would uphold such mandatory reservations.

The assertion In the survey that the Park and Planning Commission has legislative and administrative functions which in more normal areas are performed by regularly selected legislative and administrative officers of county and municipal governments is "not true” under any possible sound definition of the word 'legislative,” Mr. Bettman said.

“Normal” Powers Discussed. Existing statutes leave the Board

of County Commissioners, he said, “final determination of any and every legislative act.” The Park and Planning Commission has administrative functions. he»conceded, and whether or not it should exercise them is a debatable question. But the statement that the administrative powers granted in the

statute are not “normal,” he declared, is “either the result of igno- rance of planning legislation in the United States or deliberate disin- genuousness.”

Powers and procedures specified hi the Maryland statutes, according to Mr. Bettman, “correspond to the ■tatutes of many States and to the line of progress in planning legislation.

"I presume that the Maryland- National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission will not fall to understand that stripping it of what the authors of the report choose to call legislative and administrative powers would make of the com-

mission a mere skeleton or sheU. “If the planning function, as it is

described in the statute, is to be taken away from it—and no mere juggling with the words ‘legislative,' ‘administrative’ and ‘planning’ can hide the fact that that is what the Brookings Institution report does— then it would be more honest to obilsh the commission, for no self-respecing man would take a

position on the commission after its powers have been made so hollow, and It is only through the exercise of the powers granted in the statute and the possession of an adequate planning staff that the commission’s work could be soundly performed.”

Farm Bureau Banquet At Rockville Draws 500 Special Dispatch to The Star.

ROCKVILLE. Md., Feb. 9.—Ap- proximately 500 Farm Bureau mem-

bers and their guests attended the annual banquet of the Montgomery County Farm Bureau in the high school here Saturday night.

Dr. Harold Benjamin, head of the education department of the Uni- versity of Maryland, and Joseph Cox of the Agriculture Adjustment Administration were the principal speakers. Others on the program were Mrs. Edwin D. Fry, president of the Associated Farm Bureau Women of Maryland; E. D. Wise, secretary-treasurer of the Maryland Farm Bureau, and Otto W.

Chaney Appointment Hit by Defense Unit Of Charles County

Funds Should Be Used For Supplies, 0. C. D., Legislators Are Told

Special Dispatch to The Star. LA PLATA. Md„ Feb. 9 —An em-

phatic protest against the employment of dancer Mayris Chaney and others in the Office of Civilian De- fense has been dispatched to O. C. D. and Maryland officials by the Charles County Defense Council.

Council members charged that “the employment of such persons at fancy salaries is definitely sabotag- ing the work of local organizations operated solely by volunteer effort and with no financial assistance from the State or national organizations.”

The council’s protest was sent in letters to James M. Landis, O. C. D. executive, Senators Tydings and Radcliffe, Representative Sasscer and Gov. O'Conor.

“Tired of Promises.” The council said its volunteer

members were working without re-

muneration with equipment purchased by themselves and added “this council is tired of propaganda and promises about defense assistance and the patience of its workers is exhausted. They want to see some definite action.

"More than 2.000 persons in Charles County have registered for civilian defense work,” the council wrote, “and $6,000 raised entirely in this county been expended for spotters’ posts, alarm signals, fire defense, hospital equipment, emer-

gency transportation and protection of school children.

“So far not a cent has been given the local council by either the Fed- eral or State organization. Defense workers are wearing out their tires without remuneration. Five hundred airplane spotters are manning 17 observation posts 24 hours a day, a job the Army and Navy told them is necessary to protect Washington, defense industries and military cen-

ters. Workers Discouraged.

“These patriotic workers are serv-

ing willingly without pay and don’t expect to be paid. But they are much discouraged, at a time when there is imperative need for first-aid supplies and defense equipment, to read about the employment of esthetic dancers and an arts council by the Office of Civilian Defense.

"Why hire White House enter- tainers and high-salaried press agents at a time when the exposed areas along the coasts need the supplies necessary to protect life and property? Let us have helmets for air-raid wardens, gas masks, bandages, medical supplies, fire- fighting equipment and tires for men and women working day and night to house and hospitalize possible victims of enemy attack.”

committee that studied the Brook- ings report, precipitated heated argument when it was originally presented at the federation’s Janu- ary meeting.

Asked to comment on the statement by Mr. Bettman, Mr. Gardner said:

“I can’t see how Mr. Bettman’s criticism has anything to do with my resolution. It Is probably Just another ‘red herring’ dragged across the trail of the question by opponents of the resolution.”

Lankford Mentioned As Likely Head of Virginia Fisheries

Speculation Made On Other Appointments Up to Gov. Darden

Bj the Associated Press. RICHMOND, Va.. Feb. 9—The

Times-Dispatch said that Charles ! M. Lankford, jr„ Commonwealth’s attorney for Northampton County, 1 is conceded the best chance of ap-

j pointment as commissioner of fisheries.

The paper said several other Tide- water residents also are in the pic-

i ture, and that Gov. Darden is said to be still undecided, but in favor of choosing an Eastern Shore man.

Full Time Demanded. Whoever is appointed must be

willing “to close his office door,” the Governor is quoted as saying, and devote his entire time to the administration of the commission, the paper continued.

The present commissioner, J. Brooks Mapp of Accomack, is an

attorney with a practice largely on the Eastern Shore.

The Times-Dispatch said that David K. E. Bruce, member of the House of Delegates from Charlotte County, had been mentioned as a

potential choice for commissioner of game and inland fisheries. The term of the incumbent. Carl H. Nolting, would be ended June 30 by passage by the Moore reorgan- ization bill.

John Q. Rhodes, assistant attorney general and former director of the division of motor vehicles, is being mentioned, the Times-Dis- patch said, for the single administrative post to replace the present three-man Unemployment Compen- sation Commission, a change on which the General Assembly com-

pleted legislative action last week. The paper added, however, that

Virginia House Fight Expected On Three Bills

Annexation, Wine And Small Loan Measures Coming Up

By the Auoelated Pres*.

RICHMOND, Va„ Feb. 8.—Several bills of controversial nature hold promise of bringing to the House of Delegates this week the first major debate of the four-week-old legislative session.

On the House calendar are bills to decrease the maximum interest rat# allowed small loan companies from 3‘/2 to 2 per cent, to restrict the sale of fortified wine to State liquor stores, and the Chapman bill to “freeze” all annexation proceedings for the duration of the war.

All three measures have been advanced to the amendable stage.

Civilian Defense Bill. The Senate has for consideration

a revised civilian defense bill reported Friday by the Senate Courts of Justice Committee. The bill comes before the Senate substantially as it passed the House last week and provides for the delegation of broad powers to the Gov- ernor as the directing head of th# civilian defense organization.

Also on the Senate calander is the House bill carrying out the recommendations of the Moore Commission for governmental re- organization, but Senate consideration will await the presentation of recommendations to the Senate General Laws Committee by the Virginia Izaak Walton League chap- ters, which are interested In the effects of the measure on the Com- mission of Game and Inland Fish- eries.

Were Darden's Recommendations. The small loan bill, introduced by

Delegate William J. Gibson of Fredericksburg, and the fortified wine bill, introduced by Delegate Robert Whitehead of Nelson, would carry out major recommendations made by Gov. Darden, in his inaugural address.

The House Appropriations Com- mittee arranged to meet today to resume work on the $217,000,000 general appropriations bill. Chairman Frank Moore, said the committee might hold afternoon and night ses-

sions, in an effort to get the bill to the floor early.

The House Courts of Justice Com- mittee planned to hold a public hearing this afternoon on the Moss bill to exempt $100 a month of the salary of the head of a family or householder from garnishment, and set a $50 exemption for all wage earners. Present exemptions are

$75 for heads of families and nothing for unmarried wage earners.

Judges Indorse Proposal. Judge Luther B. Way of United

States District Court for the Eastern

j District of Virginia joined Judge John Paul of the western district in indorsing proposed small-loan legislation.

In a letter to Senator Charles W. Crowder of Richmond, patron of the Senate bill to forbid small-loan companies from using financial statements against a borrower in litigation, Judge Way not only indorsed the Crowder proposal, but also suggested that the legal interest rate should be cut from the present 42 per cent to from 12 to 18 per cent.

Judge Way told Senator Crowder that, in his opinion, the small-loan laws are responsible for a substantial percentage of the bankruptcy cases in Virginia, which has more

bankruptcy cases than Maryland, West Virginia and North and South Carolina combined.

For the fiscal year ended June 30. 1941, Judge Way said. Virginians commenced 2,131 bankruptcy cases, as compared with 34 in South Caro- lina, 268 in North Carolina, 140 in Maryland and 843 in West Virginia.

War Risk Insurance Limitations Fixed For Merchant Ships

25% Beyond Basic Value Of Vessels Allowed Under Certain Conditions

For war risk insurance purpoee*, the Maritime Commission has adopted a basis for limitation of the valuation of United States merchant ships and foreign, flag vessels owned oy American citizens, It was announced today.

An attempt has been made, it was

said, to bring about a return to September, 1939, levels of value. However, in recognition of the fact that after the war replacement of tonnage will be necessary, valuations in excess of the basic valuation is used for ne,w construction, th# commission said. With certain exceptions excess valuations are limited to 25 per cent of the amount permitted on basic valuation.

The vessel* included under the order, it was stated, are those where the Maritime Commission assumes

or insures war risk, where it pays war risk premiums, and where war risk premiums are included as a

factor in freight rate surcharges. Effective February 5. the com-

mission’s order states that “in the event these limitations of valuation result in a shipowner becoming a self-insurer for a portion of general average of salvage charges, war- risk insurance policies underwritten by the commission will provide for payment in full of such charges up to the face amount of the policy.”

Payments of total or constructive total loss under the "excess valuation” stipulation, it was stated, will be put in escrow.

Charmingly Informal was the "don't dress” buffet supper given last

night by the Albert Deweys for their house guests, Mr. and Mrs, Michael Arlen. To the Intense disappointment of every one, Mr. Arlen didn't

appear. He had been smitten down by a severe attack of flu. One feminine guest confided to her neighbor over the coffee that she had waited for years to tell Mr. Arlen how greatful she was to him for some-

thing he wrote In "The Green Hat” and how, since the war her gratitude had grown by leaps and bounds.

It seems that Mr. Arlen, describing Iris, the heroine of “The Green Hat,” In one of her most fascinating moments, said that the lovely lady had "slightly dirty fingernails.” Our Washington lady, in the years since reading the book, has treasured the description whenever she felt that her manicure had let her down, arfM now vhat she does motor corps work and dabbles in car grease, she finds it indispensable to her morale.

Mrs. Arlen, stunning in a long dress of black and white plaid taffeta worn with a short scarlet jacket, made up for her husband’s absence by her graciousness and gaiety so that one soon felt that one had come to meet her and her alone. Mrs. Dewey, pretty in an emerald green velvet tea gown, saw that every one was served good things on little tables placed about the dining room and drawing rooms.

Among the Dewey’s guests last night were Mr. and Mrs. Henry Field, Mr. and Mrs. Burrall Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. Drew Pearson and Mr. Justice Frank Murphy. Also present were Mrs. Snowden Fahnestock. Mrs. Lionel Atwill, Countess Zoppola, Nancy Weller and Mrs. Leo d'Erlanger, the latter in a street-length black dress worn with a fetching spring hat of beige straw and gold sequins. Among the extra men were Peter Dewey, nephew of the host, and James Altemus, brother of Mrs. Altemus Whitney.

Lunching informally with Mrs. James Clement Dunn the other day, several of her friends had their first glimpse of the charming new home which she has furnished for herself and Mr. Dunn. After selling their house on Observatory Circle to the New Zealand government for a

Legation, Mrs. Dunn leased the residence on Hoban road, furnished it to the queen’s taste, and made off for Florida to prepare a family reunion at Christmas with her daughters Marianna (Countess de Baillet-Latour) and Cynthia (the recently married Mrs. Alexander Lynde Cochrane).

After Cynthia's mid-January wedding on lovely Boca Grande Island, Mrs. Dunn accompanied Mr. Dunn back to the Capital and plunged immediately into war work. It is only now that she is beginning to find time to catch up with her equally busy friends. And, by the way, the brightest sight of the Florida season to date was Mrs. Dunn and Marianna, at 7 a m. the day after the wedding, loaded with orchids from the bride’s bouquet, waiting for the tiny one-man ferry which takes one to the mainland while the ferry- man presented Mr. Dunn with a huge string bag full of oranges. Mr. Dunn, who used to be chef de protocol of the State Depart- ment and is now its adviser on European affairs, was nothing daunted and even knew the formula for adding a sack of oranges to one’s already over-heavy luggage and looking pleased about it.

Lunching with Mrs. Dunn the other day was Mrs. Warren Delano Robbins with her house guest. Mrs. Samuel Warren of Boston; Signora Julia Brambllla, Mrs. Philip Coffin. Mrs. Charles Henderson and Mrs. Armistead Peter, 3d. Mrs. Peter, looking very smart and pretty in a

gray wool frock with touches of black and henna and wearing a frivolous black felt bow for a hat, was being told how glad her friends are to have her and her husband back in Washington to stay. The Peters have left their New England chicken farm to look after itself, but it took the war

and Pete's job in the Navy Department to tear them away from the poultry.

The Peters asked friends for a week-end cocktail at the 1925

F Street Club before Caroline Peter left on an Inspection trip to

the farm whence she will return to take up the local sport of house hunting.

Zoning Expert Calls Brookings Report on

Montgomery 'False' Author of Planning Setup Says Survey Reveals 'Lack of Knowledge'

The Brookings Institution recom-

mendations on planning and zoning In Montgomery County, outlined in a

survey last year, would, if adopted, reduce planning in the Maryland- Washington area to a hollow shell, Alfred Bettman, Cincinnati planning expert, declared today in an

analysis sharply critical of the au-

thors’ understanding of the problem. He characterized the survey as

permeated with “fundamental fallacies,” frequently showing a “hope- less confusion as to the nature of planning and the functions of a planning commission.”

Mr, Bettman, one of the authors of the legislation creating the county's planning and zoning setup and establishing the Maryland-National Park and Planning Commission, submitted his analysis at the request of a committee named by Mont- gomery County commissioners shortly after the Brookings survey was

completed. Addressing his report to J. Bond

Smith, counsel for the park and planning commission and chairman of the county commissioners’ committee, Mr. Bettman concluded:

“But as for the Brookings report, the authors either do not understand county, city, regional or district planning, or, if they understand it, believe in throwing it out and have not been frank enough to say so, for just as, under their recom-

mendations, the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Com- mission would become a hollow shell, so. under their recommendations, the planning of the District or

county would become a hollow shell.” "Lack of Knowledge” Charged. Mr. Bettman declared the Brook-

ings recommendations showed "such an utter lack of knowledge about and understanding of planning, including zoning, that the inclusion of them in a report by such a reputable agency as the Brookings In- stitution is incredible.”

Statements and recommendations in the Brookings survey were described as “fallacies, misconcep- tions and confusions” in Mr. Bett- man's report.

Turning to specific portions of the Brookings survey, Mr. Bettman

said: "For instance, on page 386 the

statement is made that 'the planning includes the study of general physical developments except parks, parkways and recreational facilities. • • Now, of course, no

planning of the Maryland-Wash- ington regional district, in the sense

in which planning is used in the statute, could fail to include parks, parkways and recreational facilities, as they are amongst the important functional uses of the land of the district. • • •

School Site Opinion Challengea. “One wonders whether the authors

of the portions of the report dealing wdth planning have ever read the

planning statute.” Mr. Bettman stated there was “no

warrant” for the survey's authors to

“venture into the field of constitutional law'’ on page 388, where they expressed the opinion that, in subdivision regulation, “reservation of school sites would be illegal.”

There are statutes and regulations which provide for the mandatory reservation of school sites and small neighborhood parks in large sub- divisions, he stated, and should the question ever come to litigation there is a good chance that the courts would uphold such mandatory reservations.

The assertion in the survey that the Park and Planning Commission has legislative and administrative functions which in more normal areas are performed by regularly selected legislative and administrative officers of county and municipal governments is “not true” under any possible sound definition of the word “legislative,” Mr. Bettman said.

“Normal” Powers Discussed. Existing statutes leave the Board

of County Commissioners, he said, “final determination of any and every legislative act.” The Park and Planning Commission has administrative functions, he conceded, and whether or not it should exer-

cise them is a debatable question. But the statement that the administrative powers granted in the statute are not “normal,” he declared, is “either the result of igno- rance of planning legislation in the United States or deliberate disin- genuousness.”

Powers and procedures specified In the Maryland statutes, according to Mr. Bettman. “correspond -to the statutes of many States and to the line of progress in planning legislation.

“I presume that the Maryland-

National Capital Park and Plan- ning Commission will not fail to understand that stripping it of what the authors of the report choose to call legislative and administrative powers would make of the commission a mere skeleton or shell.

"If the planning function, as It is described in the statute, is to be taken away from it—and no mere

juggling with the words ‘legislative,' ‘administrative’ and ‘planning’ can hide the fact that that is what the Brookings Institution report does— then It would be more honest to obilsh the commission, for no

self-respecing man would take a

position on the commission after its powers have been made so hollow, and it is only through the exercise of the powers granted in the statute and the possession of an adequate planning staff that the commission's work could be soundly performed."

Federation Meets Tonight. Action on the controversial reso-

lution calling for circulation of a

petition among Montgomery County voters for the establishment of a

charter form of government is ex-

pected at the February meeting of the Montgomery County Civic Fed- eration at 8 o’clock tonight at the Bethesda Elementary School.

The measure, sponsored by Allen H. Gardner, chairman of a special committee that studied the Brook- ings report, precipitated heated argument when it was originally presented at the federation’s Janu- ary meeting.

Asked to comment on the statement by Mr. Bettman, Mr. Gardner said:

‘‘I can’t see how Mr. Bettman’s criticism has anything to do with my resolution. It is probably just another 'red herring’ dragged across

the trail of the question by opponents of the resolution.”

CHAPTER I. The rain began again just as they left the city behind them. It

fell slowly at first, blurring the suburban landscape into a nebulous haze of grayed greens and stormy blues. Then swiftly It increased In fury, so that it came down in sheets, as if great vats of water were being sloshed against the sides of the car.

‘'Maybe we’d better turn back,” said Lee Thorpe, turning to his (sister. “It's going to be tough going once we hit those country roads. And, anyway, I haven’t liked the Idea from the first."

Mia’s face was a blur of white- ness in the gloom of the car.

“Don’t be absurd, Lee,” she said, folding her little gloved hands with lin air of decision. “Of course we’re going on. It’s time this ridiculous family feud was ended."

Lee snorted. “There’s something peculiar about

Uncle Jarvis making a gesture of reconciliation after all these years," he said. “It's not in character, some-

how” “Well, it is strange," Mia admitted

reasonably, but even so, I believe in meeting such a gesture halfway. After all, this is the 20th cen-

tury and family feuds are a bit out of date.”

“Just the same, it would have been more reasonable if the thing had been fixed up when father and mother were alive.” Lee frowned at the landscape before him. Through the pie-shaped wedge on

the glass that was being monoto- nously cleaned by the windshield wiper, he looked out on & dripping world. Certainly it was not a very auspicious beginning for a journey that he had opposed from the first.

Lee Is Suspicious. “Look, Lee," Mia said, “it's not

so unreasonable after all. Suppose you were in Uncle Jarvis' place and found yourself at 50 with a lot of

money and practically nothing else

in the world—no friends, no social life, and having no fun at all. Don’t you suppose vou'd do what he did?

•'Well, what did he do?” asked Lee, irritably. “He wrote a frosty letter saying that he had decided to forget the past and would like to becdme better acquainted with us. so would we please come up to

his lodge at Torrington. where he has a nice surprise for us. A sur-

prise!” Lee sniffed angrily. “He sounds like an old spider weaving s web of intrigue. How do we know what we’re walking into?”

“I think I know,” said Mia de- murely.

"Well, what is it?” Lee asked in- cisively.

“Jarvis is married,” Mia said

quietly. “He probably wants us to meet the bride.”

She leaned forward a little to

watch the effect of the news on her brother.

“Married?” Lee asked quickly. “But that's impossible. I don’t know

much about the old boy, but I've always heard that he was a confirmed misogynist. Look here,” he said tersely, “why didn’t you tell me

this before?” “Because J was afraid you'd can-

cel the trip if you knew,” Mia an-

swered. There was a little ripple of excitement in her voide, but her face was more enigmatic than ever.

“You’re darn right, I would," Lee said furiously. "To have to meet Jarvis after all these years, and on

his own terms, is awkward enough. But to have a new wife thrown in, too—well, the situation is just about impossible. Besides,” he glanced swiftly at Mia, “how did you find out about it?” ,

A Surprise For Lee.

Mia continued to look demure. “Just a bit of discreet feminine sleuthing," she said in a voice that was just a shade too nonchalant.

"Well, for heaven’* sake, who is *he?”

"She." said Mia, pausing dra- matically to create just the prpner amount of suspense before sh*continued, "i* Paulin* Pry, the newspaper columnist.”

"Good heavens, not that awful woman!” Lee groaned. “Wasn't she sued for slander, in that sensational Wickline case, Just about a year ago?”

"She was." admitted Mia, “but, if you remember, she won the case. Ifi my opinion, she’s a very clever worn**. And a fortune hunter to boot. Why* else should a woman like that marry a rich old recluse like Uncle Jarvis? Though of course he isn’t much of a hermit any more. Not since Dr. Sherwood took him in hand." ♦

“Is this some more of Jinnv Bar- bour's chatter?"

“Don't be so superior," said Mia imperturbably. "I believe in taking my information where I can get it. It seems the whole resort was buzz- ing with the story in a suppressed sort of way. You see. about six months ago, Jarvis was on the verge of a nervous breakdown—a really serious one, from what I’ve heard. Just another case of all work and no play, for more years than I care to think about. So at the suggestion of one of his business associates, he went to Dr. Sherwood, the psy- chiatrist.”

"That Sherwood!” Lee whistled. “I’ve heard about him. I only wish

housewarming for the new mistress of the mansion."

‘‘Well, I don't like It,” said Lee. “It’s plating us In a darned awkward situation. If you ask me. This Pry woman, or whatever her name

Is, will probably despise us. And Uncle Jarvis will blandly assume that now he has made his gracious gesture wre'll fall Into his arms like the fatted calf, or something.”

“Darling, don’t let yourself get so disturbed," said Mia. "It’s the prodi- gal son you’re undoubtedly referring to. and we’re not In any sense of the word prodigals. Besides, the situation might have some amusing aspects.”

Lee Still Suspicious. "Sinister, If you ask me." said

Lee. ‘T sometimes think that the more painful a situation Is, the more

a woman enjoys it.” "Why not look at the practical

side of the situation?" Mia asked. ‘‘If Uncle really means what he says about resuming friendly rela-

“When I call to you, let out the clutch.”

I had a slice of the fees he takes in every month. The Dowager's De- light, they call him. He holds their hands and looks into their eyes, and tells them that what they need Is a good long rest in Bermuda, or New- port, or what have you—and collects more dough than -I make in six months at the museum. Any six months!”

Another Surprise. ‘‘Well, you won't be an assistant

curator all your life,” Mia soothed him. ‘‘This just happens to be an off season for archeo'ogists. Besides, Dr. Sherwood’s advice to Uncle Jar- vis was sensible enough. He told him he’d have to snap out of his strict office routine and loosen up a bit. Get into the social whirl, so to speak. That was where Pauline Pry came in. She's Dr. Sherwood’s niece, you know.”

‘‘No, I didn’t know,” said Lee. “Where you women get all your In- formation is beyond me.”

“Don't be silly," said Mia. “You know you’re Just as interested in this as I am. Her real name isn't Pauline Pry, of course. It’s Estelle Sherwood. When Jarvis objected that he couldn’t just break his way into social circles, Dr. Sherwood introduced his niece as the solution to the problem. She’s invited everywhere, you know, because people are afraid of that barbed pen of hers. So she helped launch Jarvis socially. He was interested' in her from the llrst, though I don’t know what a hard-headed businessman would see in that type of woman. But he didn’t get really s-rious about her last month. He'd gone dowi. Jf Tekoa Springs for the season, and she came down a little later to do some of her acid little portraits of the society crowd. My informer thinks they were mar-

ried about three weeks ago. But she can’t be certain, because they weren’t married at Tekoa Springs. They might have gone to any one of the small towns within a radius of 100 miles. Or they could have flown down to Mexico. Anyway, my suspicion is that Jarvis has brought his bride home to that gloomy lodge up In Torrington, and is having a

tlons with us, he might even go so far as to finance that archeological trip to South America that's been held up for so long for lack of funds.”

"Pipe dream!” said Lee shortly. "Now your imagination's working overtime. I sometimes think you ought to have been a writer instead of an Interior decorator.”

“I won't have you casting any aspersions at my profession,” said Mia with mock dignity. “You just wait until I get a chance to do a

few really important jobs. Maybe I'll be able to finance one of your expeditions myself.”

"It might have been more practical if you had financed this ex-

pedition with a compass,” said Lee sardonically. "I think we've lost the road.”

v He slowed the car down grad-

ually and brought it to a stop on the narrow shoulder beside the road. Taking out his road map he scruti- nized it closely in the rainy light. Then he swore softly under his breath.

“We're 25 miles out of our way," he said Irritably. "We should have turned right instead of left back at Romney Comers.”

Folding the road map he snapped it back into his pocket and started to turn the car around. But his efforts proved futile. The back wheels had bogged down In the mud.

Coming after all the minor Irrita- tions of the day, this last mishap was not to be borne with equanim- ity. Lee's remarks fairly sizzled.

"Lee, darling,” admonished Mia, "getting angry Isn't going to help us any.” Suddenly, Irrationally, she remembered with a little shiver of fear that they used to call her brother “Trigger Temper” at school. “Besides.” she seized the opportunity for a brief, sisterly lecture, “you ought to learn to control your temper better. Some day It’s going to get you Into trouble.”

Arrive, but Late. Now. however, Bhe made an effort

to shake off the mood. Lee had buttoned his mackintosh around him and was clambering out of the car.

“Lee, what are you going to do?” she called. A gust of rainy wind swept into the car through the open door.

"Take the wheel!” Lee shouted. He was already outside* standing on the muddy ground. “I'm going to see if I can give it a shove from behind. When I call to you let out the clutch.”

Mia obediently slipped Into place behind the wheel. But their con- certed efforts were of no avail. It was not until Lee had sloshed about in the wooded land beside the road and had found enough rocks to put under the wheels that the tires were able to build up the proper traction and the car could start.

Twilight was closing In when they reached Romney Corners again and turned on the right fork of the road.

But by that time they had lost over an hour. When they finally reached Thorpe Lodge dinner was

already over and the guests were having coffee before the great fireplace In the living room, where a wood fire was burning brightly on the open hearth.

Jarvis Thorpe came forward to meet them. Beside him was his wife, a slender, exotic-looking woman in a hostess gown of black velvet. The Ivory pallor of her skin formed a dramatic contrast to the raven sweep of her hair and the vivid scarlet of her mouth. And in the firelight her eyes were not friendly. (Coprrlfht, 1841, Chic*so D»llr N*wi. Inc.)

Conservation of Paper Every citizen is called upon

to see that not a pound of paper Is wasted. Demand from every clerk that any unnecessary wrapping of packages or un-

necessary use of paper bags be

dispensed with. Waste paper for paperboard

is vital to the packaging of a

great quantity of war equipment.

Do not burn newspapers, but, when you have saved enough for a bundle, give them to the school children who are co-

operating in the defense program with the parent-teacher organization in The Star’s campaign for reclaiming old newspapers.

Detective Slays Man Attempting to Free Pal at Police Station

Chicago Gunman Wounds Two Witnesses to Earlier

Holdup Murder By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, Feb. 9—A self-pro- claimed neighborhood tough got Into the wrong neighborhood early yesterday, met up with a straight- shooting police detective and din’t live to recount his latest foray into crime.

The last wild exploits of Joseph Skupien, who, police said, spent about one-third of his life In prisons, were in a tavern and a police station in the stockyards district. They ended with the 26-year-old ex-con-

vict lying dead on the police station floor, only a few hours after two men had been slain in a'tavern holdup.

Shortly after the tavern shooting, Skupien walked into the new city police station early yesterday. He waved a pistol and shouted:

"I'm going to rescue my partner. I'll get those dirty squealers.”

Fires at Detective. Sergt. Joseph Connelly stepped

toward him but the enraged Sku- pien, firing one shot wildly, dashed into the squadroom where 10 witnesses to the tavern killings were

awaiting to be questioned by detectives. Bruno Jachmyak, 23. was

being interrogated by police about the slayings.

Skupien forced two women In front of him, lined up several other persons, including a reporter, against the wall and backed up against a

staircase. He threatened to kill any detectives who came into the room.

Meanwhile. Detective John Leahy learned of Skupien’s actions. He dashed upstairs, went through a

suite of offices on the second floor, and crept down three steps to a

landing directly above Skupien. Two Witnesses Wounded.

With his pistol about 10 feet from the ex-convict's head, the detective fired two shots. Skupien wheeled and shot four times, two of the bullets slightly wounding two witnesses. Detective Leahy then fired twice more, killing Skupien.

During the excitement, Detective Leahy himself narrowly escaped death, an unidentified detective firing at him. A member of the department for 14 years, Detective Leahy has been on the detective squad for five years. Lt. A. L. Steves- son announced he would recommend a promotion for Detective Leahy.

The prelude to the police station shooting occurred when two men invaded a tavern Saturday night and killed two Mexicans when several patrons rushed at the gunmen with the apparent intention of disarming them. The dead were Jesus Hurta- do, 30, and Romano Bessara, 35, both of Chicago.

Police described both Skupien and Jachmyak as neighborhood “tough guys” and criminals since their ’teens.

Nature’s Children Twelve-Spotted Cucumber Beetle

By LILLIAN COX ATHEY. More acres will be planted to cu-

cumbers this year than In 1941. This may be good news to cucumber beetles, of which there are several species, for their fondness for the leaves of this vegetable last year cost American farmers something like *3.600,000.

Take a look at this 12-spotted insect. Not much for size individual- ly, but multiply it by millions and you have a vast horde of leaf-consumers capable of putting the cu-

cumber growers far in the red. Beside eating the leaves of the

plant, these beetles are carriers of plant diseases. Growers of canta- loupes and melons, as well as cucumbers, face serious losses because of the danger of Invasion by these small and determined foes.

It has been estimated that it cost each grower $3.50 per acre for labor, machinery and Insecticides to combat these pests last year. Something like 475,000 acres were

planted to cucumbers—figure out what we could do with the money lost through these "fifth col- umnists !

In order to cope with any foe, we

must learn something about his habits and modes of procedure. The adult beetle feasts on the leaves, giving them a ragged appearance— usually the first Indication the grower has of invasion. No plant can get along without its vital leaf factory.

The younger generation spends its time feasting on com roots and grass, though the beans and pods growing nearby always appeal to them. As the cucumber beetles thrive throughout the Eastern States, and their close cousins are to be found in other States, you will readily see what it means to permit them to succeed.

Cucumber beetles usually make their first appearance in May. Later, great colonies of them gather j around the stems and leaves of the

helpless cucumber plants. On cool nights, the tribe will seek shelter from winds and frost.

Serve your uninvited guests with nicotine dust. If this does not prove fatal, give them a more potent mixture made of calcium arsenate, gyp-

e06 jy

sum or land plaster, or Bordeaux mixture.

When this concoction begins to take effect, there is an exodus. Something tells the army it had better move on. At this time, poultry should not be permitted to sam-

ple the travelers. These beetles have two modes of

transportation—by foot, which is slow but effective, and by air, which

Is swifter and enables the flyer to reach more distant supplies. Co- operation among growers in some method of all-out war against these costly invaders must be devised. Feeding insects does not appeal to thrifty people.

Making Comfortable Home and Keeping Husband Happy Is Wife’s Job — —-—'— ■ 1 M w

Woman Who Has Career Or Hates Domesticity Should Not Marry

She Has No Gift for Wifehood And Never Learns the Trick Of Managing Her Partner

By Dorothy Dix The other dav I discussed in this column various types of men who

should not marry because they are temperamentally unfit for matrimony and are not onlv unhappy themselves in the so-called holy estate, but wreck the lives of the unfortunate women they wed. Many women are

in the same category. They may be beautiful, intelligent and possessed of all the major and minor virtues, but matrimony is not their dish. They have no gift for wifehood They never learn the trick of managing a

husband and making him like it, and their marriages are long drawn out

endurance tests, or quick short trips to Reno. Among the women who should never marry are the career women.

Most of them do, of course, and most of them have as many divorces as

they have had husbands, for the perfectly logical reason that feminine careers and matrimony do not mix. Each is a separate job that takes

all of the brains and heart interest and energy and strength that any women possesses, and when she tries to superimpose one on top of the

other, she makes a mess of both. Of course, it seems a cruel thing that

a gifted woman, who has spent thousands of dollars and years of hard

work preparing herself for her profession, should not be able to go on with it after marriage, as a man does with his, but few have ever done it suc-

cessfully. Making a home and keeping her husband eating out of her hand is

a wife's business, and she cannot dc it if she is careering around the country lecturing, or giving concerts, or off to Squedunk to bid on a con-

tract, or telephones not to keep dinner waiting because she is entertaining a buyer from Oshkosh.

Nor does it makes for peace and

happiness in the home for the wife to earn more money or be more

prominent in any way than the

husband. No man resents any insult as fiercely as he does being called Mr. Mary Jones, and you will find that when the gray mare is the better nag that her teammate gen-

erally jumps the tracks.

The sentimentalist should never

marry. Marriage is always a failure to her because she demands the im-

possible of it. She expects it to be

a perpetual petting party in which

everything will always be romance and roses and her husband will spend his time making love to her. She expects a life in which there will be no work, no worry, nor cooking dinners, nor dirty dishes in the sink, and where her children will be miraculously bom with golden curls tied with blue ribbon and wearing embroidered white dresses.

And when she finds out that marriage is a life sentence at hard labor, with more bills than thrills in it, and that her good, practical, kind husband exhausted his visible supply of love talk during courtship and thereafter says it with beefsteaks instead of flowers, why. she simply cant take it. She develops a heart

hungry complex that keeps her weeping over her pitiful, being- starved-for-affection condition, and that makes her bewildered husband wonder what ails her.

No woman who lacks a sense of humor should ever marry, for mar-

riage Is full of such a lot of things over which one must either laugh or cry and only those wTho can see

the funny side of family life get any fun out of it. or are agreeable to live with. It is the wife who can nail on her face the smile that won't come off when poverty and sickness come in at the door, who braces her husband up to do the very best that is in him.

It is the wife who finds something amusing and tender and lovable in her husband’s little pecularities. and who makes a good story out of the time when he came home lit from his class reunion, who stands the wear and tear of marriage without breaking under it, and who binds her husband and children to her with hoops of steel.

The woman who feels that she is called upon to reform the world should take it out on the world instead of inflicting it on some poor defenseless man who didn't know that he needed to be made over until his wife undertook the job.

The monopolistic woman who feels that she acquired a title to her husband. body and soul, along with her wedding ring, and that he has no

right to have any affections or interests outside of her should never

marry, because she makes a home that Is a jail and neither her husband or her children ever love their jailer.

Nor should the undomestic woman

ever marry, because making a com-

fortable home is either a bit of Heaven or a taste of the other place to a woman, according to whether she is allergic to pots and pans and the cook book or not.

So there we are, and before a

girl says “yes” when the boy friend pops the question she does well to examine herself and decide how she is going to fit into the matrimonial picture.

Attractive Apron Frock New-Style Wrap-Around Design Emphasizes Youthful Figures

1548 B

By Barbara Bell A new style in house dresses—one

which emphasizes the natural charms of the youthful figure—is presented in Pattern No. 1548-B.

The slim waistline is accentuated bv the deep girdle-shaped belt and curved bodice portions emphasize a

full bustline. The skirt, gathered on

at a dropped waistline has the new

billowing fullness across the front. In back, a straight line from neck to hem is broken only by the perky bow of the tied sash ends.

By an adjustment of the side sashes-which hold the frock closed this front may be reversed. Thus, the dress offers double service. This is such a gay, youthful style you will want to make it in a particularly cheerful cotton—in a glazed chintz perhaps. Or quaint calico, percale, chambray or gingham with rickrack braid as an effective trimming.

Don’t Force Child Into The Tub

Resort to Sponge Bath Until Fear Is Overcome

By Lett ice Lee Streett Dear Mrs. Streett: My son, who Is

18 months old, is afraid of his bath. He used to love it until several months ago, when he was frightened when I started washing his hair and putting a hair shade on his head so he wouldn't get soap in his eyes or water in his ears. I used the shade before this time, but I think I must have caught a strand of hair in it and he became frightened.

Since then I cannot get him in the tub, although I've even tried putting toys in the water. MRS. J. P.

I suggest that the next time you bathe your little boy that you assume an attitude of casual indif- ference as to whether he gets into the tub or not.

The eye shade obviously frightens him, so by all means discard it. Many young children roar with rage when their hair is washed. As

they get older they stop "acting up” in this manner, but until then there is little that a mother may do other than, as usual, to try to stay calm and be patient.

But bathing is a different matter: most babies love their bath. Here are a few suggestions you might try: Make a soap mitt by cutting a

doll shape and sewing together two turkish towel washcloths. Fill the “doll” with shaved soap.

When bath time comes along un-

dress your little boy in the bath-

room. but do not fill the tub. Then

proceed to wash the doll in the wash basin; he will no doubt want to help you. Make o.uite a thing of

putting the doll down into the water.

Now place your little boy on a table or a chair, on a bath tow^el, and let him soap himself with the soap baby. You can then rinse him off, with his help, no doubt, and. in other words, he will have had a sponge bath.

In a few days it may work if you will let him soap himself while sit-

ting in the empty tub. on a bath towel, and then he may find it fun

to turn on the taps and watch the water running into the tub while he is in it.

A baby’s bath time should be happv and gay. so try to make your child's this way. Use any tricks you can think of, such as little games, songs or water toys.

Above all, do not force your small son into the tub, and I believe that if vou can succeed in making his bath hour fun, and a time during which he may have no fears of being hurt., hurried or scolded, that he will gradually lose his phobia and will

again enjoy splashing around in the w’ater.

Lettice Lee Streett has com-

piled a leaflet entitled “The Im- portance of Correct Posture,” which will be sent to you upon

request. Address Mrs. Streett, care of the Woman’s Department, of the Evening Star, and inclose a self-addressed, stamped (3-

cent) envelope. Unless the self- addressed envelope hears a 3- cent stamp the leaflet cannot be mailed.

Manners of the

Moment TJh-huh, girlie. Your smile won't

get you past that traffic light these

days. You must remember: (1) A driver has to use his brakes to stop for you no matter how pretty your face and your smile, (2) that using brakes suddenly scrapes tires, <3) that tires aren’t to be had any more.

So you’d better watch out. You’ll be accused of being unpatriotic before you know it. And what would be even worse, one of these days some driver might just get mad enough to refuse to stop for your smile.

No, I think that for your own

sake, for the sake of the rubber shortage and for the sake of your country, it’s time for you to make yourself obey the traffic lights. I feel rather strongly on the subject, so don’t let me catch*you crossing the street when you shouldn’t. I might even start- a campaign or

i something. ® JEAN.

Cherry cheese cake—a dessert so

good that the whole family will pour blessings on you the first time it graces your table. The cheese cake

alone is a real treat, but when you add the cherry topping it gives it a wonderful flavor. Serve it soon.

CHERRY CHEESE CAKE.

Topping: 1 No. 2 can red tart pitted cherries. V2 cup sugar. 3 tablespoons cornstarch. 1 tablespoon butter.

Drain juice from cherries. Heat to boiling point. Copibine sugar and cornstarch: add enough cold water to make a smooth pouring paste. Pour this gradually into the boiling cherry juice. Cook about five minutes, stirring constantly. Add cherries and butter. Place in double, boiler to keep warm if hot sauce is desired. Cheese Cake: 1 cup fine zwieback or graham

cracker crumbs. '4 cup powdered sugar.

teaspoon cinnamon. V4 cup melted butter. 2 eggs. l2 cup sugar. 'a teaspoon salt. 1 tablespoon lemon juice. 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind,

cup evaporated milk or cream.

1 cup cottage cheese, pressed through fine sieve.

2 tablespoons flour. Combine the crumbs, powdered

sugar, cinnamon and butter. Press mixture onto the sides and bottom of a 9-inch pie pan. Beat the eggs well, then add sugar, salt, lemon juice and rind, cream, cottage cheese and flour. Pour into lined pan. Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees P. about one hour, or until center is set. Turn off heat and open oven

door. Let stand in oven one hour, or until cool. Serve topped with hot or cold cherry sauce. Serves six to eight.

Bluewater When making bluewater, try add-

ing a little common salt. This helps to distribute the color evenly and prevents the clothes from looking streaked and patchy.

Leftover Tip Leftover tip for unfrosted cake

slices: Spread lightly with jelly—a tart kind preferred—and sprinkle with cocoanut: toast until brown and serve warm.

Glass Curtains Glass curtains will look better if

ironed slightly damp. Sprinkle with warm water and roll up tightly. Wrap in towel for half an hour or so.

Addressing Letter to

Divorcee Using ‘Mrs.’ With Christian Name Social Tabu

By Emily Post A reader today asks—and sen-

sibly—what to do about addressing a letter to a divorcee when she calls herself “Mrs. Mary?” “I can’t very well presume to correct this woman’s own use of her name, can

I? (Not even you would do that, would you?)”

To this my answer Is, no. of course not—unless I were asked for my opinion by Mrs. Mary. Of course if her name is in the Social Register and she was Mary Jones before her

marriage to John Smith, she will be automatically entered as Mrs. Jones Smith. And it would not be impolite to write her name as listed. Otherwise, to makp any change in the name of another would be ex-

tremely ill-bred. It is true (according to best taste)

that a lady should not be known socially as Mrs. Mary. “Mrs.” followed by a lady’s Christian name is a long established tabu of taste.

Dear Mrs. Post: We moved here almost a year ago and not one of my husband's employers’ wives has called on me. He is superintendent of a big plant here. In a case like mine, where I am the w-ife of the “boss.” but the newcomer here, how is the ice broken?

My husband s position is the top one and the others may hesitate to make the first move, but I don’t like to go calling on them, first. We are ail people of one group despite the difference in business status.

Answer: I can understand how

they might hesitate to make the first move. At the same time, your own attitude is also understandable. First of all. it seems to me that you might have made individual friends either through church or war work —certainly there will be many opportunities in the latter field from now- on.

Whether your husband might tell the men that you are lonely and that it would be friendly on the part of their wives to go to see you—or whether it might be a good idea (cr a bad one) for your husband and you to give a party and to- in- vite the men and their wives is something I can’t help you decide without knowing anything about their point of view. In one commun-

ity it would break the ice: in an-

other it would freeze it thickly!

More Tips for Youth On How to Manage Bothersome Finances

Establish Good Credit Rating With Merchants and Learn To Keep Behind Raises

By Kay Caldwell and Alden Harrison A young person working and handling his own finances for the first

time should live within his Income, establish a cash reserve for emer-

gencies, learn to spend wisely, and be more concerned about investing in his own self-improvement than about merely saving money.

Those are some basic principles for a sound financial program, which we gave you recently. Another such principle is that of establishing a reputation for honesty and good management. And that's something which you can’t start too soon.

It’s important that your employer have full confidence in your honesty. That doesn’t Just mean avoiding such common but regrettable practices as appropriating the conipany’s stamps and pencils for your personal use. It also Involves the company’s time. "Soldiering” on the job, Chiseling on your fellow employes, failing to be punctual—all these things will give your integrity a low rating.

Another bad practice is that of asking for advances on your pay, which openly announces to your employer that you are a poor manager of your personal affairs. Borrowing from fellow employes is also unwise, although scrupulously prompt payment of such loans reduces the evil.

Paying cash for everything you buy is a good rule for any young person, but eventually you’ll probably wish to establish your credit with local merchants. And unfortunately,*--- paying cash does nothing to estaD-

lish credit in a place where you are

personally unknown. The only way you can do that is by contracting bills or debts, and then paying them

promptly. A bank account will also help your

credit rating. At first you will need

only a savings account, in which you keep your emergency cash reserve.

Later, as your income Increases, you may find it convenient to open a

checking account.

And speaking of increased Income, here's a simple rule which, if you follow it, win always keep you ahead of the game financially. Suppose you’ve been living on $20 a week, and you finally get that raise to $25. Your natural impulse is to whoop with glee, and immediately use that

extra $5 to get all the things you’ve been denying yourself on your smaller salary.

Don’t do it! Instead of revising your budget upward from $20 to $25, raise it onlv to $22.50, and use the

other $2.50 for saving or investment. (Investment can mean self-improvement—such as taking a night school course.) If you’ll always let rises in

your standard of living lag behind

your increases in income, you 11

avoid a whole host of common financial difficulties.

We've already told you now im-

portant it is to have a cash reserve

to fall back on, even though it'«

very small at first. Such a reserve

in the bank or in Defense bonds is invaluable from a practical stand-

point, and it does a lot for your morale. The fellow or girl with a

little money in the sock is bound to be more confident and optimistic than the young worker who barely exists from one pay day to an-

other. We think that your first cash

savings beyond this reserve should

go into life insurance. This is especially important for a young man

who is looking forward to getting married. Premiums are low when

you are young, and if you will buy straight life insurance in one of the best companies, you can get a

good start on creating future se-

curity at surprisingly little expense. As for other investments, forget

them. The three soundest places for a young person to put money are a savings account or Defense bonds, life insurance, and his own

self-improvement. Yon Ask—We Answer.

Q. I am going on my first date— a formal. When my escort brings me home is it customry to kiss him good night? I do not like the idea, but the other girls say you usually submit after a formal. Is this true?

ROSEMARY. A. Sounds as though “the girls”

might have a regular union scale of payment for dates. A parlor parker rates one languorous look, a

neighborhood movie entitles the boy to clutch a paw briefly, an ordinary dance with hamburgers afterward merits an arm around a shoulder, and a formal pays off with a good- night kiss!

Seriously, the only justifiable reason for kissing a boy is that you like him well enough to express your feelings in that way. Paying

I him for dates with kisses is cheap, and boys who expect it are mere

bargainers in romance, where bar- gaining has no place. Don't kiss the boy unless you want to—and don't be in too much of a hurry then!

If you are expecting—or hop- ing for—an invitation to a college prom or house party, our

“Week Ends on the Campus” leaflet will answer a lot of questions for you. It’s yours for 5 cents (stamps or coin) if you write to Kay Caldwell and Alden Harrison, in care of The Eve- ning Star.

Charles Armour’s New Collection Is Shown Here

If you see a swarm of women running, not walking, toward one of our local stores, don't let it frighten you. It won't be another rumored shortage of hosiery, woolens or girdles: it will be a dash down to see the exciting new collection of clothes by Charles Armour. The clothes will be around for some

time, but Designer Armour is in Washington only through Wednes- day—hence the rush to see what spring styles this talented fashion setter has created for 1942. and what he has to say about them.

Because he believes that in these days women want beauty without ostentation, Mr. Armour has used much navy and brown, high lighted with color and with lingerie touches, ruffles, pleats and capelets. He has brought out hand-painted buttons, belts, borders and appliques and has accented sleeves, frequently by doing them in contrasting color, and hemlines, often by using ap- plique borders on them or by making them scalloped in points.

Even though he feels that women want to be gay and pretty, Mr. Armour has placed no stress on

“dress-up” clothes in their flowing form. Rather, his new and important “1942 dinner dress" is street length, but certainly in the gala mood. It may take any one of sev-

eral forms insofar as silhouette is concerned, and may be interpreted in anything from lace to sheer crepe.

Mr. Armour believes that “dictated fashions" are over, and that women will demand clothes that suit their individual needs. They want styles that men will understand and love—gay and colorful, feminine and flirtatious, and this new collection is created to keep them happy. H. V.

Dried Beans And Peas

By Edith M. Barber “What do you think they had for

supper? Black-eyed peas and bread and

butter. Ducks from the duck yard all in a

flutter. Pickled oysters, too."

So goes the old song. A meal like that would not pass muster these days perhaps, especially if the black- eyed peas were in dried form. We are more likely to use dried vegetables such as peas, beans and lentil* by themselves.

Of course, we are likely to use salt pork or bacon with our baked beans for which we use what are commonly known as navy beans, although the Army is accredited with having used them just as much in rations of an

older day. Lima beans are also good in baked form; in fact any dried bean is good baked. In this part of the country we call red beans, kidney beans, although actually almost all dried beans belong to the kidney bean family.

There is really no reason why dried peas should not be baked as

are beans. We use them more generally for a foundation for hearty soup«, and sometimes for a puree to serve in place of potatoes. Dried peas need not be soaked before cooking. The ham bone from the roast should always be put to good use

for cooking with peas, beans and lentils, to which it adds a fine flavor for the luncheon whole-meal soup.

BAKED LIMA BEANS. ’i pound diced salt pork,

cup sliced onions. 1 cup diced carrots. 3 cups boiled dried lima beans. 1 can (l1* cupsj condensed tomato

soup. 1 cup water. Cook salt pork five minutes In

heavy frying pan, add onions and carrots, and saute over medium heat five minutes. Add cooked, drained lima beans, mix well, and place in greased casserole. Add tomato soup and water, cover, and bake in moderate oven <350 degrees F.) about three hours, until beans are tender. Yield: About six servings.

PEA PUREE. 2 cups dried peas. 6 cups cold water. 1H teaspoons salt. 1 teaspoon sugar. 1 medium-sized onion, sliced,

teaspoon pepper. 6 strips cooked bacon, or

<4 cup butter. Wash peas and cook with water,

salt, sugar and onion about 30 minutes until peas are very tender. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Force through coarse sieve, add pepper and reheat, stirring during process. Serve garnished with bacon or dress with melted butter. One- half cup of sour cream may replace the bacon or butter. Yield: Six serv-

ings.

Grainger Focus of Interest At Symphony Concert

Cornelissen, Dutch-American Composer, Also Attraction For Capital Audience By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Percy Grainger, the gifted pianist whose art and personality are en- dowed with a superabundance of

energy, was the focus of Interest at yesterday's concert by the National Symphony Orchestra in his dual role of soloist and composer. The appearance of Mr. Grainger has grown to be a much-looked-for event and his reception yesterday afternoon attested to the extent of his popularity with local audiences. Another attraction of this Sunday concert was the presence in the audience of Arnold Cornelissen. Dutch-American composer, whose "Symphony No. I"

was played In its entirety for the first time.

From his close association with Edward Grieg, it can be assumed that Mr. Grainger’s performance of

the Norwegian composer's "Concerto in A Minor" is exactly as its creator wished it to be. Whether this is

true or not matters little for the chief point is that as Mr. Grainger plays it, it has the to musicians and laymen wr ne

former can find in it a rflWMPd out

appreciation of its musical values

expressed in remarkable undulation

of phrase, dynamics that are not of the stereotyped variety, rubati that spring from surging temperament, ponderous ringing chords and passage work that while clear and fluent are never without their expressive side.

Superb Technical Mastery, The layman can find in all this

superb technical mastery and musi-

cal understanding an eloquence that has its origin in a sensitiveness to

all that the concerto represents in

spiritual values. Most of tilts comes from the soil and from the traditions of his people where Grieg found the spur to his inspiration and his joy in fashioning this material into an

art form is to be recognized }n every phrase of the popular piano work.

Plombing the depts of the Nordic soul either in Its lyric or more som-

ber mood, exulting in its freedom or

its tenderness, was Mr. Grainger’s approach to his solo number. While

the brilliancy and fire of his performance had its instant response, his regard for the little notes and the small phrases, often lost in the

greater sweep of a work, was a fas-

cinating study in itself. As finale of the program, the

orchestra played Mr. Grainger’s suite "In a Nutshell." a delightful combination of four different ideas, each of which is dedicated to some

friend. In this work the composer

uses a set of instruments that were

probably heard for the first time in this city and which enlisted the assistance of his wife in the playing of one of them. They are called the Deagan percussion instruments and consist of a steel marimba, a wooden marimba-xylophone. Swiff staff bells and a nahimba. Together with the ordinary xylophone, celeste and glockenspiel they gp-ve an unique character to the work. It bears the Grainger stamp in its fantasy, vitality. its gay rhythm and its melodies. The composer was at the piano as

a part of the orchestral whole but the ovation accorded him at the end

of the performance was of a mag- nitude to continue several minutes with Dr. Kindler and the orchestra sharing in the demonstration.

Fine Degrees of Shading. The orchestra, which did some of

its best accompanying in the Gneg concerto, opened the program with the Grave and Allegro from Bach's "Organ Concerto in G Major,” giving a performance marked by fine de-

grees of shading. It brought the same polish to bear on Mr. Cor- nelissen’s symphony, two movements of which it had played last spring when the. work was presented anonymously to members of the orchestra association in a special concert.

Given in its full four movements, the good points and the weakness of the symphony can be better ad- judged in their relation to each other. Its main weakness is its compactness for it seldom reaches beyond an established area both of notes and mood. There is no expansion and no soaring to this music and when a melodic phrase gives rise to expectations in this respect, it is promptly brought again within confines. This peculiarity during the

four divisions of the work makes for monotony as does the several themes on three or four notes around which the development takes place. Furthermore, the preponderance of dark toned instruments or the lower registers of others contributes to the somber and rather heavy effect.

Tire workmanship is skillful and could be utilized in a broader way were the composer to allow himself a wider range both of inspiration and of mechanical means of expression. The first two movements, Allegro moderato and Andante lamentoso, are the finest, the latter especially showing the poetic effectiveness of the composer's thought. What inter- play of orchestral voices Mr. Cor- nelissen uses shows a feeling for color but as yet. or at least in this work, he has not explored their possibilities fully. The dramatic con-

tent of the symphony hai its appeal and the applause was genuine, growing in tribute to the composer when he was discovered in a box and brought to the stage by Dr. Kindler.

Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BURGESS.

When yoi've done a thine that'i wren* Just (O and say you're sorry.

Don't let an untruth drag along— Just go and say you're sorry.

There’s nothing else will clear the way. And brighter make the passing day

When you here done or said or thought A thing more unkind than you ought

Than lust to say you're sorry.

You remember how Peter Rabbit could find no one to believe him

when he told about the great, strange tracks which he had found In the enow deep In the Green

Forest at the very end of winter. Of course you do. And you remember how Sammy Jay had made fun of

Peter and teased him until Peter would hardly put his head outside of

the dear Old Briar Patch. Now

Sammy was learning just how Peter had felt. To be sure, it was nothing new to Sammy to have people doubt what he said. UsuaUy hr; wouldn't have minded in the least. But now

he had such wonderful news—news

of a big. black stranger who had come to live in the Green Forest— and it. was dreadful to have everybody smile and whisper to one

another, "He's crazy.” It was just as bad when Blacky

the Crow saw the stranger and tried to tell about him, for no one believed Blacky, and every one thought him

crazy, too. But all of a sudden Peter Rabbit remembered those great tracks he had tried so hard to for-

get. and right away he was as ex-

cited as Sammy Jay and Blacky the Crow. When Sammy told about the

great claws Peter fairly shouted. “It's the stranger who made those

tracks, just as sure as I'm alive!” he cried. "Now, perhaps, you still think I had bad dreams, Sammy Jay, when I told you about those

strange tracks!”

Sammy looked at Peter and hung his head for just a minute. "I'm

sorry, Peter,” said he, "for all the mean things I said and for not be- lieving your story. I truly am. I know just how you felt when you had great news and no one would believe it. No one but my cousin, Blacky the Crow, believes me now

unless it is you. Do you. Peter?” "Of course, I do!” replied Peter

promptly. "Didn't I see the tracks? Do vou believe that now, Sammy Jay?”

Sammy nodded. "Yes," he replied. “I believe it. But nobody else will, excepting Blacky. They just think we all three are crazy."

"But who is the stranger?” per- sisted Peter.

"Don't know,” replied Sammy. "Never have seen any one like him. Why don’t you go ask him where he comes from and who he is, Peter?”

“Oh!” cried Peter. "I don’t dare to. Why don't you do it yourself, Sammy? You can fly and I can't. You haven’t anything to be afraid of. If I could fly I’d go.”

Winning Contract By THE FOUft ACES.

(David Bruce Burnstone. Merwln D. Maler. Oswald Jaooby and Howard Schenken. world's leading team-of- four. Inventors of the system that has beaten every other system in existence.)

Key Numbers There are key number* in bridge

which good player* never overlook or forget. For example, five is the number of trick* needed by the de- fender* to defeat a game contract in no-trump.

That is not just a vague number, to be noted in pasting and then forgotten. When you are defending against a no-trump game you must look for five tricks, tf you happen to collect one or two more, well and good, but they are unim- portant (unless the contract has been doubled): the main thing is to concentrate on gathering in those five tricks. Today’s hand is a case in point:

South dealer. Both sides vulnerable.

* K J Q J 10 8 3

O J9748 ♦ 0

*63 v * 8752 tfK4 A 7 6 2 OQR5 I 0 K 6 2 * K 8 7 6 4 2 85

*QJ * A Q 10 9 4 S>05 0 A 10 * A 10 5 3

The bidding: South West North East 1 * ■ Pass 2 ‘v’ Pass 2 NT Pass 3 O Pass 3 NT Pass Pass Pass

West opened the six of clubs and East was permitted to hold the trick with the club jack. He re-

turned the club queen and South took the ace.

South could count only seven

tricks—five spades and the two side ace*, so had to set up the hearts to make his contract. He led the nine of hearts and West pounced on the trick at once with the king, since all of his clubs would win

the tricks if the ten and five were split between South and East. He laid down the club king hopefully, only to discover that South had the guarded ten.

At this point many a player would Just lead another club to knock out South's last stopper in the auit. And after that South would make the game easily enough by leading another heart to set up the ninth trick.

But West knew that five trick* were needed to defeat the contract. He was pretty sure that his partner had the heart ace, so the defense was pretty sure of two hearts and two clubs. Where was the fifth trick? It had to be a diamond, so

West shifted to a low diamond, knocking out South's aoe. When East took the heart ace a diamond return defeated the contract.

Saturday you were David Burn- Stone’s partner and, with neither side vulnerable, you held:

AJ9783 <7 7533 6 84 ♦ S3

The bidding: Bumstone Schenken You Jacoby

1 NT Pass Pass Dbl. 2* Pass (?)

Answer—Pass. It seems that your partner bid one no-trump with a five-card or longer club suit as its main asset. Since he has rescued himself from the doubled no-trump contract there is no need for you to rescue him.

Score 100 per cent for pass, nothing for any bid.

Question No. 991. *

Today you are Howard Schenken’s partner and. with both aides vulnerable, you hold:

♦ K 9 6 3 <7Q8 6 A 7 6 3 2 *54

The bidding: Schenken Jacoby You Burnstone

2 NT Pass (?) What do you bid? (Answer to-

morrow.) (R*le»ied by the BcU Syndicate. Inc.)

Maneuvering Fleets Was Easy—but Then The Buzzer Worked Bj the Associated Press.

KAN8A6 CITY.—Angry shouts from the office of Admiral Hayne Ellis, director of Kansas City’s civilian defense, commanded the attention of all ears.

“When I was In the Navy,” roared the one-time commander of the Atlantic Fleet. "I could push a button and move the entire American Fleet 3,000 miles!

“Now. I push a button and the damn thing doesn’t even ring!”

That disconnected buzzer button on the admiral's desk has been put In working order.

Deer Poacher Relents; Pays $100 for Horse Bj the Associated Press.

GRAND RAPIDS. Minn.—Strin- gent tire and automobile rationing possibly reminded this deer poacher of the value of a horse.

An anonymous letter was received by Sheriff William Crisp containing ten <10 bills "for the horse I killed at Salsam, north of Bovey,” near here. The letter also asked the sheriff to "please find the owner. Very sorry, thank you.”

Sheriff Crisp found the owner— Charles Meyers, whose horse was

UNCLE RAY'S CORNER —Volcano Saved Books of Ancient Romans More than once I have spoken of

the great explosion of Mount Vesu- vius which broke loose In the year 79. There Is good reason to speak of that event. When ashes from the volcano burled the city of Pompeii, they saved a treasure of ancient life for people of modem times.

Among the objects found in Pom- peii are various things which the olden Romans used for writing, also books of the kind which were prepared 1.900 years ago. Other ancient books and writing tools have been

found, but those of Pompeii are in •specially good condition.

Among the things found at Pom- peii was a rounded box with half a dozen books Inside. They were neatly rolled up and each had a label to tell the contents.

When some one speaks of a book, we are not likely to think of a roll of paper with words written on it. Yet such books were the common kind long ago.

Our word “paper" came from “papyrus,” the name of a reed which grows in some lands around the Mediterranean Sea. The reed was cut into strips, soaked and pressed before it became paper. Egypt was the country where this kind of

paper vu Invented. Moat of the paper the Roman* ueed came from trade with the Egyptians.

The Romans (like the Egyptians) had pen* and ink. The pen* were short pieces of reed which had been sharpened at one end. They were dipped into a fluid commonly made

by mixing water with soot and adding a small amount of sticky plant juice.

Most Roman books had a single roller at the center, but some had two rollers. While a person was

reading a two-roll book, he would Wind up the part he had read at

the same time he was unrolling the other part.

Another way of writing In Rome was on wax tablets. These were sheets of wood covered with wax. The writing was done by scratching a sharp-pointed "stylus” on the wax.

Sometimes two or more tablets were bound together at one side. This was done in such a way that they would open like a modern book. The idea of the book of modern style seems to have grown from the custom of binding wax tablets in that way.

Readers Have Their Angers, And Theaters Their Regrets

Delay in Picture Bookings, Holdovers And Choice of Saturday Films Arouse Customers'’ Wrath

By JAY CARMODY. There is nothing more pleasant than letting readers write a eolumn

for one. So starting with Mrs. Elise S. Hindman: Dear Mr. C.: Why do you suppose such pictures as "Bahama

Passage," "Louisiana Purchase,” “Lady for a Night” and “Sullivan’s Travels” haven’t shown in Washington? This must be the only town that hasn’t had an opportunity to see these pictures, and it seems a shame for the Nation’s Capital to be so far behind the times.

And, Incidentally, why doesn’t some one do the Government workers a favor by getting the movie houses to change prices at 6 Instead of 5:30, now that most of us work too late to make the 5:30 deadline and for that reason see far too few pictures?

With reference to Mrs. Hindman’s first question, a partial answer was

provided in Harold Hefleman’s col-*- umn on this page last Friday, a

column devoted to the point that the same protest is made in all m e t r o p o l ltan areas wtiere popular pictures require long hold over periods to exhaust their audiences. Hollywood, Mr. Heffeman wrote sadly, just last week was catch- ing such pictures as “How Green Was My Valley,” “It Started With J»y Cfcrmody.

Eve,” “The Man Who Came to Din- ner” and “Design for Scandal." All four have been seen in Washington. Incidentally, the latter just opened on Thursday in New York.

Small towns see such pictures many weeks before the metropolitan areas for the simple reason that limited audiences permit quicker changes.

As to the second point the deadline may be changed. At any rate a complete restudy of schedules is being made by downtown theaters to cover just the situation which Mrs. Hindman mentions. The theaters point out that they are strain- ing every effort to adjust to other schedules, overtime, staggered hours, etc., as rapidly as possible. The latter, too, remain indefinite, thev say.

* * * #

And now Miss Ruth Scott: What this city needs is one big

downtown movie theater which pledges itself to show feature

pictures only and a new picture each week—no holdovers regardless of success. I think such a

house would All a long-felt want and would make plenty of money. The practice of holding over week after week at nearly all downtown houses is getting to be rather a nuisance to people who have seen all the shows or don’t care to see some of them. A great many persons feel pre-

cisely the same way, but the theaters make the point that to refuse to hold over would be Just as unfair from the other point of view—denying an even larger audience (in the case of long holdovers) a chance to see an obviously worthy picture.

•‘Saturday’s Child,” whose other name is unknown to this department, has quite another ax to grind. Grumbles he:

You may have already noticed this, but if you haven’t I’d like to call your attention to what appears to me to be a collusive effort on the part of those who control the distribution of pictures in this city to provide the rankest kind of films for Satur- day showing. A little research will quickly convince you of the gradual deterioration of the quality of the films being shown these days. Examine the showings in the Northwest section of town —my habitat—and you will find these demonstrations of medioc- rity: “International Squadron," “They Died With Their Boots On," “Bad Lands of Dakota,” "Shadow of the Thin Man” and “Parachute Battalion.”

There was a time when, because of the pressure of work, those of us who found ourselves unable to attend week-day movies could look forward to seeing something fairly entertaining on a Saturday night. Today the chances are clearly against our seeing anything worth while on that night. To Saturday’s angry child, the

theaters reply that they are very sorry, but Saturday's pictures must be chosen strictly on a family suit- ability basis, that it is the family's night out together and that they are doing the best they can to make it pleasant. They want action an lnnocuity. (And get it.—Ed.i.

In including this department in his wrath, Saturday’s Child overlooks two facts: First, that we felt equally wrathful in our reviews of the pictures he mentions and, second, that drama departments have nothing to do with booking pictures.

'Bush Pilots’ Are Glorified In New Warner Picture

By HAROLD HEFFERNAN. HOLLYWOOD.

Previews of the new pictures: "Captains of the Clouds”—Glorifies Royal Canadian Air Force

fledglings and particularly dedicated by Warner Brothers to “those in the service who have ‘flown the bush’ That vanishing breed of happy adventurers who have opened vast territories who have trailed the shadow of their wings from the 49th parallel to the Arctic Circle ... the bush phots." <

Necessitated one of Hollywood's most extensive, elaborate location trips .. Special train carrying stars (Jimmy Cagney, Dennis Morgan, Brenda Marshall, Alan Hale), stunt, pilots, cameramen, technicians and quarter of a million dollars worth of shooting equipment left Holly- wood last July headquartered in Ottawa, helm of wartime activities in Dominion not in recent years has a movie troupe gone so

far away from home grounds. Picture began at No. 2 Air Service

Training Station, Uplands, Ontario, few miles out of Ottawa ... Air Marshal W. A. <Billy) Bishop, V. C„ D. S. O., and other decorations. Dominion's great World War 1 hero, appeared in opening scenes of picture as himself Harvard train- ers and Hudson bombers, Hurricanes and Yales, observation ships and speedy fighter craft were at disposal of film troupe Celebrating 38th birthday in Ottawa, Jimmy Cagney received silver identification disk from R. C. A. F.. which gave him title of ‘‘Flying Officer James Cag- ney, Captain of the Clouds” Technicolor cameras, such as used to film this picture, cost approximately $40,000 each there are only about a dozen available.

Director Michael Curtiz, famous also as dialectician, as usual gave out with few quotable nifties In Ottawa, he announced that "We got to leave tomorrow, hot or cold, no matter what happens, but not positively” ... In North Bay he was happy because he had an opportunity to see "the quintaloupes” In Hollywood he ordered up “three slave duck, but they got to be puppies” ... He wanted young sleigh dogs.

Catholic U. Lists Tryouts for Two Dramas

Playhouse Dancers Open New Series

By J. W. STEPP. A Sunday evening aeries presented

by the Dance Playhouse of Evelyn Davis was launched in the Play- house last night with a program of original dance dramas designed ex-

clusively by Miss Davis and executed by the same party with the assistance of her young troupe.

It was a varied fare, embracing motifs sacred, profane and patriotic, each serving Miss Davis’ purposes equally well. Rigid bodies and taut, deliberate motions, of course, dominated the solemn interludes, while at the opposite pole the eminent tricks of downright buffoonery—including leap-frog—found outlet. And whatever the demands of the cho- regraphy the performers responded eagerly.

Tour de force of the program was a “Trilogy” depicting the major factors in the American ideal; spiritual, national and popular realization. Accompaniment to this number was narration as well as piano, and it had its effective moments. Among other offerings were “Marching to Glory,” an arm-waving sequence portraying a Southern revival meeting; a humorous episode in which Miss Davis becomes an earnest, present-day American striving to learn the intricacies of artificial respiration for defense, and a dig- nified "Pavane."

Members of the Playhouse who performed last night: Eugene Ler- ner, Glenn Attwooll, Lem Blake- more, Harry Brogden, Michael Lon- don, Elizabeth Burtner, Priscilla Howe, Lucie Petta, Marta Taylor, Adele Tingey, Ann Hano and Pa- tricia Powers. Original music for two of the dances was written by Emerson Meyers and Thomas Sim- mons. Dorothy Croissant designed costumes which were colorful.
