Communist efforts to under
mine the United States Navy have
reached such serious proportions
that the Navy has found it neces-
sary to have commanding officers
warn enlisted men against the
danger of subversive propaganda
upon entering port.
This was learned at the Navy
Department today following the
public warning of Rear Adm.
Clark H. Woodward, member OF
the Nays general board, that
Communist activities in the Navy
have "become a real menace to
national defense"
Women Aid Reds
The use of women by the Com
munists has been particularly no
ticeable on the Pacific Coast
lately, the Navy Department is
advised.
Furthermore, Communist activi-
ties in the Navy have shown a
steady increase since 1880. The
Communists were particularly ac-
tive during the visit of the fleet
to the Atlantic Coast and now
are showing renewed activity on
the Pacific Coast.
Naval intelligence Information
shows that five Communist schools
are maintained in this country
for the purpose of instructing
agents in the best methods OF
spreading propaganda both in
the Army and Navy.
Girls Lure Seamen
Three of these schools are on
the West Coast, at Seattle, San
Francisco and Los Angeles. One
is maintained in New York, the
other in Chicago
Information in the hands of
the Naval Intelligence division
shows that the Communists are
utilizing attractive young girls
not only to disseminate Com
munist propaganda but to lure
sailors and Marines to places
where such propaganda is
brought to their attention.
These girls board the warships
as visitors. After dropping Com
munist pamphlets in secluded
spots aboard the vessels, they use
their feminine charms to induce
sailors and Marines to make
dates with them.
Admiral woodward made his
charges before the National
6ojourners, a club of Army and
Navy officers at q dinner meeting
last night in the Quantico Marine
Barracks.
Warning Sounded
It well behooveS the United
States to "Stop, look and listen"
as the ''red" cry gains in volume,
with the depression aggravating
the spreading discomfort, the Ad-
miral declared. He continued:
"While depression still reigns
In many parts of the globe, fes-
tering sores have eaten into
Europe and Asia and many of
our Latin-American countries.
Communism, the red peril iS
rife, and even our own beloved
country has suffered consider.
ably from its baneful and per.
niciOUs influence.
LIST us not deceive ourselves.
Communism is at work not
merely with frenZied zealOts let
ting off hot air, but with a
very intelligent directive force,
ana with a great Singleness of
purpose"

FUS|ON|STS RAP
RIVALS PLANS

ROCKVILLE, Jan. IA pro-
posal by the Democratic-controlled
delegation from Montgomery
county to the State Legislature,
whereby jurisdiction over the Su-
perintendent of school property
would be transferred from the
Montgomery Board of Commits
sioners to the county board of
education, was branded by Fusion
iSt leaders of the county last
night as purely political strategy" J"
AS the present board of educa-
ton is heavily Democratic, ap-
pointment of the superintendent
of school property would mean
another Democratic officeholder,
the Fusionists claim. This, the
leaders say, is only a move on the
part of the defeated county or
ganization to divert as much
patronage from their hands as
possible.
Another proposal made by the
county delegation yesterday was
advanced by State Senator Sted-
man Prescott and Delegate r..
Shirley Hayes, Democrats, for re-
districting the upper section OF
the county so as to create a
sixth commissionerShip.
Creation of the sixth district
would allow the Democrats an
other chance to seat a candidate
on the Board of Commissioners
and if successful would seriously
haraSs the Fusionist party, it was
contended, as there would then
be three members of each party
on the board.

NEW YORK, May 8.-Rain-swept

yard" of the Atlantic-20 miles of
Seabright, N. j., where the Morro Cas-.
tie and Mohawk met disaster-were
searched futilely yesterday by Coast
Guard vessels answering the distress
call Of an unidentified, mysterious
ship.
As the search continued Coast
Guard headquarters suspected that
the distress call. picked up at New
York and Bay Head, N. j., might be
a hoax. The faint plea for help was
intercepted by short-wave wireless at
40 degrees.
Authorities recalled that rum run
nerS" along the Atlantic coastal rum
row" frequently resorted to short-wave
distress calls to draw Coast Guard
cutters out of position.
Alden w. Smith, 25-year-old law
student, intercepted the call In New
York early yesterday. He notified
police Meanwhile, the Bay Head
Coast Guard station picked up the
call.
The Coast Guard put out two cut
tiers. two patrol boats and four power
lifeboats. Two airplanes from the

area without sighting the ship or

MAY PERIL n. R. A.
Blue Eagle Extension Bill
Threatened in Senate
by Power Row.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
A prospect that a bill dealing with
N. R. AS future might get bottled up
behind a filibuster aimed at another
measure served to complicate matters
in the Senate today.
The filibuster-if 1t should develop
would be against a motion that the
Senate consider the Norris bill, which
seeks to give the Tennessee Valley
Authority definite powers to sell sur
plus electricity.
With the bonus out of the way,
Chairman Harrison of the Finance
Committee had planned to bring up
the bill to extend a modified N. r. A.
until next April. Senator Norris, Re-
publican. Of Nebraska. won recogni-
tion first. however, and moved that
his proposal making many changes
in the T. v. A. act be taken up.
Senator Austin, Republican. Of Ver-
mont Immediately served notice he
would discuss the motion at length.
1t was understood Norris would give
way to the N. R. A. measure if his
proposal led to lengthy debate. but
possible adjournment to permit Sen
ators to attend the funeral of Senator
Cutting Of New Mexico probably
would delay consideration of the N.
Il. A. bill until next week.
Norris bill seeks to confer On
T. v. A. powers to sell surplus energy
which a Federal district court held
the agency did lot have under present
law. Norris contends, however, that
the measure was not designed for
that purpose. He feels the act needs
clarifying anyway.
One of its provisions would au-
thorize the Tennessee Valley board to
generate energy and market the sur
plus to assist in liquidating the cost
or aid In the maintenance of the
projects Of the authority"
The board could acquire existing
plants and transmission lines and
dispose of them to States, counties,
municipalities and non profit organi-
zations. This provision. the bills
hackers say, is to make possible the
disposition Of surplus power and to
avoid duplication of existing facilities
