States Urged TO Build
Reserve Armories

While the Naval Reserve armory
situation here and throughout the
country is In many cases serious,
many Of them lacking adequate
quarters for proper training Of per-
sonllel, the Navy Department made
1t plain that 1t will not request
funds from Congress this year for
that purpose. Nevertheless, the
chief Of the Bureau Of Navigation
Of the Navy Department plans to
bring to the attention of comman-
dants concerned the possibility of OBJ
tanning funds from the Works Prog
ress Administration, under local
sponsorship, for building the re-
quired armories.
The Naval Reserve Inspection
Board reported that it considered
the suitability of Naval Reserve
armories Is rather question of de-
sign than of size. While space for
infantry drill for the entire unit at
the same time was said to be de-
sirable, 1t is by no means neces-
sary, In the opinion of the board, as
adequate classroom or locker room
space. The board said that SIM
plicity and ease of economical up
keep are advantages which tend to
free the mind and energy of the Re-
serve commanding officers from
armory affairs, to the benefit and
increased efficiency of the unit.
In the case Of the local Reserve
armory repeated efforts have been
made to obtain Works Progress Ad-
ministration funds, but to date with
out any definite result. Tentative
plans have been prepared for an
armory which not only would house
the local Naval Reserve activities,
but those of the United States Ma
rine Corps Reserve, which has quar-
ters which are said to be Just as
bad. Any funds obtained would be
used entirely in the construction of
such a building, as a site now is
available on the water front in the
Washington Navy Yard. A build
ing on this site, it was said, would
materially improve the efficiency of
the local outfit, as it would be close
to the water front, where it could
have more activities with small
boats and other surface training,
which is now difficult because the
facilities are so far away from the
armory that much of the time on
each drill night would be consumed
just in going to and from the
armory.

Walk Out on Hymn
To Catch Thieves
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
EDNA, Kans.-When it comes to
capturing the interest of a church
congregation, chicken thieves are
too much competition for the pastor
of the Trenton United Brethren
Church.
During Sunday evening services a
woman entered while a hymn was
being sung and whispered, "Trey're
stealing Jim Christmore's chick
ems"
Before the hymn ended all the
male members of the congregation
were on their way to the Christmore
hen coop, where they interrupted
the task of two men who were emp
tying the roosts.
The men fled by dropping their
bags of chickens but abandoning m

Jenni Hofmann was brought into
my Office again. She apparently
had managed to get some sleep dur

fresh.
Have you decided to tell the
truth today?" I asked.
Il have decided that If you do not
release me Immediately I will see
that you are severely punished,
she retorted.
shook my head. "You are max
ing a mistake, fraulein," I said. Il
advise you to tell me the truth. Again
I ask you: What were your dealings
with Rumrich, and for whom were
you acting?"
II tell you I don't know Rum
rich!" she snapped.
For whom were you working?"
For Hapag-Lloyd, as a hair
dresser" she declared.
But in addition to that. In your
other capacity"
Il don't know what you are talk
ing about"
Il didn't answer her. She was fac
ing me across my desk, but she did
not see the slight signal I gave the
agent IN the back of the room. She
thought she had me nonplussed, and
she went on:
You are just inventing a man
named Rumrich. There is no Rum
rich. don't believe there ever was
such man Rumrich :"
She Breaks Down.
And then she heard the door open
and saw my eyes go to it. She gave
little shrek and went absolutely
white as Rumrich's voice said:
Hello, Jenni."
Rumrich came forward, so that he
stood almost alongside her. But she
didn't raise her eyes.
DO you know this woman, Rum
rich?" I asked.
Yes" he said. THAT is Jenni
Hofmann."
He spoke in German, as did I, for
she understood almost no English.
rs this the girl who came to your
house with Schluter on several oc-
casiens?"
Yes, that's her." said Rumrich
And did you give military papers
to her and Schhter to take back to
Germany?"
yes, Mr.. Turrou."
And did she put those papers in
her handbag?"
Yes, SIR
And was she present when
Schluter gave you instructions and
discussed spying you were to do, and
plans you were to steal for the Nazj
government"
That's right, Mr.. Turrou."
motioned the agent to take Rum
rich away.
Jenni kept sitting with her eyes
cast down, her face pale, long min
utes after the door closed behind
him. I said nothing, waiting.
Then suddenly color started COM
ing back into her face, she raised
her eyes and said in strong voice:
The play is over. You win. Whal

| Utilities Decision
Hailed by Group

A decision handed down by the
Public Utilities Commission last
week refusing an application by
the Capital Transit Company for
permission to effect changes in the
route and schedule of the Massa-
chusetts avenue bus line was hailed
by the American University Park
Citizens Association as a signal vic
tory.
The application, filed last sum-
mer with the commission, was Wig
orously opposed by the association.
Henry L. Colman, president of the
association, appeared before the
commission on behalf of the civic
group on October Is, with appeals
and arguments for retention of the
present schedule. Several reSolu-
tions were passed by the association
protesting the proposed change. The
association claimed the change
would work a serious disadvantage
to commuters in the entire terri
tory around American University.
I'VE are gratifled that the COM
mission has seen fit to uphold us on
the matter" said Mr.. Colman fol-
lowing the decision we feel that
it was in line with the feelings of
the entire area"
Another decision by the commits
sion, effective January Is, whereby
the Bureau of Standards bus line
is extended from Tenley Circle to
Yuma street NV. is also of benefit
to the people of the American Uni
versity Park sector.

GOOD NEICHBOR'
POLICY PERILED
IN MEXICO ROW
Y. S. Temper Strained
By Oil Seizure
Ey EARL GOODWIN

This thing that is going on in
Mexico is a terrific strain on
Uncle Sans temper, and is likely
to Sneai the Administration
coed Neighbcr" policy.
Mexit0, whose constitution
doesn't permit foreigners to own
land, suddenly expropriates Amer.
lean and British oil property
worth about $3.50, 100000. The
word "expropriates" means to re-
lieve the owners of all proprietary
interest. In other vocabularies it
Is known as a grab" or a "Steal."
STOP BUYING SILVER
After the appropriation took
place--So suddenly that our Gov
eminent apparently knew nothing
about ;t-this Government sud-
denly stopped buying silver from
Mexico. That takes away from
Mexico the income from monthly
purchases of about 5 100000 ounces
of the metal--a big thing for
Mexico.
Also this Government stops re-
ceipt of silver on an extra con-
tract which involved about 49,.
100000 ounces. Mexico, which
can't help itself in this expropria-
ton matter (because it was all
written into law is years ago. +,
looks u. this cessation of silver
buying SIS direct reprisal directed
toward Mexico.
The refusal to buy more silver
Is Treasury matter; while the
business of maintaining the
Good Neighbor" attitude Is q
State Department function.
TREASURY PRODDED
The Treasury is said to have
been prodded by the economic
royalists in the oil business, who
are not particularly impressed by
lthe sort of good neighbors who
steal their property.
The matter is made all the
more ominouS by the fact that
the Government does not expect
Mexico to pay for the oil proper
ties grabbed away from the
americans and British.
The land appropriated is years
ago-taken from Americans and
Dthers-has never been paid for
except in bonds, said to be worth
les. The oil appropriation in
wolves many more times the
amounts involved in the oil grab.
