 nery Fish Traps

KETCHIKAN, Alaska, June D. The North Sea sailed south this morning unable to discharge cargo at the Beagle Packing Company dock because of marine picket line by the Alaska Purse Seiners Union consisting of several boats.
 The ship docked at the wharf but the sailors refused to handle the cargo unless on instructions from Seattle headquarters which had not arrived when the captain decided to continue his voyage south.
 Southbound cargo, other than can- nery, was discharged at the public dock with no interference by the Seiners.
 The Denali loaded cannery cargo consisting of wire, from the public dock Sunday morning.
 The seiners are picketing the canneries because Southeast Alaska canneries refuse to agree to elim- mate certain fish traps, said George Weiss, union agent.

99 PERISH UNDER

Two Compartments of Ship Flooded Through
 Torpedo Tube

LONDON, June 5.-Prime Minis ter Neville Chamberlain told the House of Commons today full pub lie inquiry would be held on the Thetis disaster in which 99 per- ished
 The Premier, in what he called a full account of the submarine dis aster as far as the details are known, declared that two forward com partments of the submarine were flooded through the torpedo tube when it was found impossible to close a watertight door behind the first compartment.
 He said flooding was restricted to the second compartment. The main ballast tank was emptied but the sub continued to dive and struck bottom in about 130 feet of water off Liverpool bay.
 The impact destroyed signaling apparatus, making it impossible for the submarine to communicate with surface vessels.
 A marker buoy was released and Chamberlain said smoke floats were sent up but they were not observed by the escorting tug which was with the Thetis when the tragic dive oc- cured at $40 am. (Juneau time) Thursday.
  The Prime Minister disclosed that after the Thetis was located she was lost for nearly Is hours, pre- sumably Saturday when her mark ing buoy was cut away by the slipping of wire around the hulk for rescue purposes. He said the wire slipped the wrong way.

GADDINC PHILIPPINE PRESIDENT WANTS JOB
 FOR TWO MORE YEARS
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 5.-When you need to take your mind off the worlds troubles, pick up your daily paper, look for a Manila dateline and you are almost certain to find something diverting.
 Currently you will find Presi- dent Manuel Quezon tcall it kay zon) suggesting mildly that if hard pressed he will consent to an amendment of the constitution so he can serve eight years instead of his present limit of six
 Under no circumstances" he said, would I be willing to serve more than .seight years altogether, counting from the date of my in- auguration."
 Washington regards Quezon as one of the most astute diplomats ever to come from the Orient, and practically no diplomat has come from the Orient quite so often. On his last visit here about two years ago, a studious news writer com- puted that it was his thirtieth trip to the United States. Allowing a minimum of seven weeks on the Pacific for each round trip, that adds up to 210 weeks or approxi- mately four years spent on the ocean, travelling 100000 miles.

THE LONG WAY HOME

In addition to that, Quezon often goes back to Manila the long way around, by crossing the Atlantic, Europe and the Indian Ocean.
 He comes in style. His last en- tourage included 78 major and minor personages, not to mention a few odds and ends of attendants such as his private barber who knows how to clip his hair so no gray will show.
 On that visit he spent approxi- mately six months away from home, principally seeking to ar range sugar agreement more prof. itable for the Philippines. American sugar interests concede that he has done well for the islands in that respect
 In the United States his protocol officers always are at a standstill disagreement with the State De- partment over how many guns will be fired in his honor. As the U. s officials see it, he is midway be- tween a governor who gets IT guns and ruling sovereign who gets 21 guns. He gets 19. It is point of annoyance on both sides He gets 19 guns here but on visit to Mex ico he was given 21 guns.

War Resources Boart
Study May Change
Plan for Industries
Master Mobilization
Schemes Flows to Be
Sought Out
By the Associated Press~

By the Associated Presss
The new Civilian War Resources
Board has begun a precautionary"
study which officials indicated might
involve thorough-going revision of
the War Departments master plan
to mobilize industry in the event of
war.
The group of industrial and COM
mercial leaders received instructions
yesterday from Acting Secretary of
War Louis johnson to seek flaws and
omissions in the detailed blueprints
on which military experts have
worked for the last 18 years.
The board, headed by Edward r..
Stettinius, jr., chairman of the board
of the United States Steel Corp, was
appointed last week to advise the
expanding armed services in peace
time and to take over control of in
dustry in the event of war.
-Four of the six members attended
an initial meeting with Col. john
son, Acting Secretary of the Navy
Charles Edison, Gen. George C.
Marshall, Army chief of staff, and
Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of
naval operations.
In case war came. Col. johnson
indicated, the chairman would be-
| come national czar of industry,
with powers such as those welded
by Bernard Baruch as chairman of
the 1918 War Industries Board.
AS head of a war resources ad-
ministration, automatic successor of
the Peacetime Advisory Board, the
chairman probably would have au-
thority for final decisions, except in
fixing prices, Col johnson said.

EVENING STAR WASHINGTON G, FRIDAY 49,
BY q Stan Correspondent Of The sta-


MANASSAS. Va, Aug. 18.-The
outstanding feature of the maneu-
vers has been the spirit OF the off,
GERS and men on both sides, Mai.
Gen. James K. Parsons. command
ing the Sd Corps and director of the
maneuvers said in a final review of
the exercises yesterday afternoon.
Il never have seen men play the
game better and I am sure we all
have benefited by It," Gen. Parsons
said.
Gen. Parsons added that the
maneuvers have not been a test of
any organization, arm or equip
ment, or of any strategical or tacti-
cal theories. They have been con-
Quoted wholly for the purpose of
training" he said, and from that
standpoint they have been exceed
ingly successful"
The condition OF the troops, in
cluding the guardsmen who were
called into the most strenuous Of
field life from desk jobs in civil life,
he said, "is equal to the best of any
troops I have seen in peace times,
considering the heat and the un-
avoidable discomforts of life in the
field"
The capturing of generals which
has occurred during the problems,
he said, was of no significance and
probably never would have occurred
in real war, since the raiding COL
umns undoubtedly would have been
destroyed or captured before they
ever reached the headquarters areas.
Asked whether he thought the mo-
torization of the Army meant that

about a third as much again to the
grand totals.
The meat supplied during the two
weeks included 36,360 pounds of
bacon, $4,000 of fresh beef chucks
and 38,700 of fresh beef rounds, T.
02O pounds of dried beef, 1890 of
lamb, LAO of ham bologna, &c.
600 of ham, LAO of meat loaf, and
$500 of veal. The troops ate O.
100 cans of that good old Army
standby, corn beef hash.
The total amount of meat. ex-
elusive of chicken, approximated SO
tons.
Bread and butter for the Guards
men amounted to 17O,28O loaves and
3S,340 pounds. The troops also got
their dairy products, fresh from the
countryside wherever possible, in the
amount of 263,360 eggs and $1,000
half-pint bottles of milk Evaporat-
ed milk, standard coffee cream" in
the Army amounted to 1920 cans.
Ice cream was on the menu reg
ularly, $3.50 gallons of it.
10000 Cans of Baked Beans.
Another Army standby is baked
beans. They were not baked in the
field but were bought in cans-1O,-
300 of them. With them went A.
230 bottles of catsup.
The Guardsmen earned their salt,
literally-7,2OO pounds of it going to

spiration route
Since this here Army first began,

sumed amounted to some 2l.960
pounds. The troops also drank some
LAO pounds of tea. exclusive of the
rather less than a pound consumed
by one military attache from the
British Embassy.
The collective sweet tooth of the
Guardsmen was not neglected-it
was sweetened with, among other
things, 53.820 pounds of sugar and
l5,840 cans Of jam.

| Eight Horses Die
|OfHeot in March
From Manassas

The military careers of five horses
in Battery B, 18th Field Artillery,
we're ended by the heat within a
five minute period late yesterday on
Columbia pike, near Baileys Cross
roads, while the unit was making the
march from maneauvers at Manas-
sas. Va, to Fort Myer.
At Fort Myer Post headquarters
this morning it was stated that "at
least seven or eight" animals died on
the return march.
A sixth horse was killed and three
soldiers slightly injured, Capt. John
Meade, commander of the unit, said,
when one of the caissons was hit by
an automobile on Columbia pike,
near Randolph street. Both vehicles
were knocked into bitches on op-
posite sides of the highway.
The soldiers were treated at Fort
Myer Hospital for cuts and bruises.
They were Pvts. Stephan Szabo, John
J. Sinkovich and Charles Covach.

not only in granting the Army the
use of their property but in refrain
ing from making any eXtravagant
claims for damage compensation.
AS far as possible, the Claims Board
Offices have been settling claims as
soon as the troops have passed
Although growing crops have been
spared as much as possible, the ma
ture of the military problems has
resulted in a certain amount of un-
avoidable damage to corn and other
produce. Such claims are being
settled on a basis of prices fixed by
farmers throughout the maneuver
area the average of their figures
being taken as fair price.

months before the last cases are set
tied and snow may fly before the
Army is able to write a final "finis

A remarkable feature of the exer-
ciseS is that despite the fact the
guardsmen were taken out of their
homes and have been quartered and
maneuvered in difficult, broken ter
rain, with tanks and armored cars
maneuvering among them at high
speeds, there has not been a single
fatality either from accident or ILL
ness. Eight Virginia guardsmen
from Petersburg were injured in q
truck accident last week, but all
have completely recovered or are
out of danger. There have been
four appendectomies performed.
The health and safety record
probably never has been bettered
by any troops in military history
for an equal period, in the opinion
of medical officers with the troops.
Chiggers and Poison Ivy.
There have been no cases of COM
municable diseases reported, no in.

This was handled here by digging
II wells over the 28th and 29th
Division training areas in the vicin-
ity of Manassas, Gainesville and

to huge gravity tanks. This supply
was supplemented by the water
supply of Manassas, which supplied

approximately 40 gallons of water
