Ion Firecrocker:
Live Wire Found

This being the Fourth OF July,
J. E. Liston, 721 Hamlin street NE,
thought some sort of firecracker had
flashed and banged outside his
window this morning.
Mr.. Liston stepped outdoors to
investigate. Across the street he saw
two wires dangling from tree limbs
to within few feet of the sidewalk.
He learned 4,O00-volt line had
broken, so he telephoned the power
company.
A believer in a safe and sane
Fourth, Mr.. Liston took up a post
near the live wires to warn persons
away from them until a repair crew
arrived.
IF it hadn't been the Fourth of
July" Mr.. Liston said, II doubt if
I would have noticed the break. 1t

funny flrecracker, I decided to in

"a Firemen Overcome
Fighting Blaze on Liner
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 4.-TWentv-
four firemen were overcome yester-
day In a six-hour fight to ouell a
stubborn fire that severely damaged
the afterholds of the 5945-ton
Clyde Mallory liner Algonquin.
The vessel dipped sternward at its
Hudson pier as masked firemen
poured thousands of gallons of water
into the smoking mixed cargo.
The blaze, flooding lower Man
haitian with acrid smoke, tied up
traffic near the Holland Tunnel for
more than three hours, delaying
thousands of holiday-bound motor
lists.
AS the stern sank IL feet, fear was
expressed it might damage one of
the Holland tubes linking Manhat-
tan and New Jersey, but port officials
later said there was no danger.
Approximately 100 passengers
were waiting to board the ship,
scheduled to sail for Miami and
Houston, when the fire was discoy-

Super 'Panzer' CORPS
Plans Being Drafted
For New U. 5. Army
Gen. Marshall Announces
Several More Units
Superior to Nozis'
BY ROBERT BRUSKIN.

The Army is drafting plans for
several more armored corps similar
to the one now under formation
and each will be comparatively
more powerfully armed than the
German "panzer" corps, which
pierced the French and British lines
with such aplomb.
I'VE might set up two or even
three corps" Gen. George C. Mar
shall, chief of staff, said.
The new organizations will be
based on the experience gained with
the one corps. Formation of new
groups must of necessity be delayed
until new tanks, combat cars, ar
tlllery and trucks roll off assembly
lines, which have been oiled with
billions in defense appropriations.
Gen. Marshall told reporters at
his press conference late yesterday
that the armored corps being formed
at Fort Knox, KY, and Fort Ben
ming, Ga, already has the l,4O0 COM
bat vehicles, but it was necessary
to strip troops throughout the Ma
ton of tanks and combat cars to
permit its organization.
AS a result, he said, the first
armored corps should be completed
IN few months. When organized
1t will be fully armed and not
visionary force, he added.
$4,000 Officers and Men.
The first corps will be self con-
tanned force of great striking power"
and will be made up of two divisions,
each containing TOO light and me-
dlum infantry tanks and cavalry
combat cars, 300 guns and hoWitzers
OF various calibers and more than
$500 machine guns and new Garand
semi-automatic rifles. The complete
corps will contain more than 1900
officers and men.
BY comparison, each Nazi "panzer"
division contains, according to &C
curate information which recently
reached this country, 500 officers,
1000 men, 450 tanks, so combat
cars and 500 other vehicles, chiefly
motorcycles armed with machine
guns. Machine guns and larger
weapons number about 5000, in
cluding two battalions of "a 105-
millimeter howitzers.
To assure rapid expansion of the
present and future American iugger-
naut corps, Army technicians indi-
Gated it may be necessary to divert
many of the new tanks from Ma
tional Guard units which we're
destined to receive many of the g.
600 light and medium tanks to be
ordered soon.
New Tanks IL Tons.
The older models of light tanks
weigh about 10 tons and are armed
solely with machine guns of 80 and
so caliber. The newer light tanks,
armed with 81 millimeter cannon
in addition to machine guns weigh
II tons. The medium tanks vary
from l8 to % tons. Gen. Marshall
said there would be heavy tanks
later, but decisions on size and
types would await a hint as to
where they might be employed. Gen.
Marshall intimated there would be
none of the 80-ton types used in
Germany since there are few
bridges in this country capable of
bearing that weight.

Carol was reported planning cabinet
revisions to forge national unity.
The public was called on to report
all foreign planes on sight and to
seize any parachutist who might
land on Rumanian soil. Police were
given the right to fire on parachut-
lists.
Diplomatic circles viewed these
steps as inspired by fear of light
ming attempt by Russia to grab ter
ritory in addition to the ceded
areas of Bessarabia and Northern
Bucovina. They pointed out the
Red Army is the only one among
Rumania's neighbors equipped to
land parachute troops.
This fear was said to stem from
the fact that Soviet forces overran
the demorcation line of the new
frontier in the east last week.
Armored Cars in Bucharest.

blackout, release for military service
of short-term prisoners. and ap-
pearance in Bucharest of armored
cars and trucks filled with police.
Observers had been puzzled be-
cause it still is not believed here that
Germany will permit Hungary to go
to war over her claims on Transly-
vania without every effort for peace
full settlement.
officials were disheartened by
Berlin's denial of any intention to
support Rumania in case of attacks
on her territory.
New regulations order citizens to
turn over all firearms to police and

of the aliens were killed by the
torpedo's explosion.
Some of the Italians tried to take
large suitcases with them into the
lifeboats," the steward said. They
simply did not seem to understand
there was room only for the men.
Il saw the ships doctor, apparently
wounded in the leg, stand up and
salute the ship and the captain as
the vessel turned half over and sank
within about two minutes.
"The decks were sea of faces as
she went down and could see wind
lasses and other objects moving into
the crowd of men as she made her
final heel over. A cloud of steam
rose 100 feet into the air and the
suction dragged lifeboats and men
down with her. I shall never forget
those horrors"
Verinder said the crew of the res
cuing ship (not identified in the dis
patch) was "wonderful' and gave
up their hunks, their clothes, their
food-everything they had"
Germans and Austrians Fought.
The steward said the Germans
and Austrians among the prisoners
began fighting on the first day out,
when the Austrians objected to the
Germans raising a Nazi flag in the
deck space allotted the internees.
They had to be separated by guards,
he said.
James Frost, another crew mem
ber. said 100 survivors in one life
boat sang Its Lovely Day To-
morrow" as they pulled toward a
message dropped from circling
plane. The message, saying Keep
your chins up. help coming, sorry
can't land" was attached to parcel
containing cigarettes, loaf of
bread, a pound of butter, a can of
bully beef and one of salmon.
Frost said the party then sang
Pennies From Heaven" He told of
seeing the ships purser standing at
attention on the bridge, refusing to
make the slightest effort to save
himself"
Frost said he "felt sorry for the
Italians, whose average age was
about go. They didn't know what
to do and many of them hung on to
the ship for dear life. Some of
them were quite British, having lived
in England all their lives"
Three dozen lifeboats for nearly
1000 people," he said. "One boat
carried away in the explosion, and
another, weighed down with hun
dreds of people trying to get away
in it, smashed to pieces with the
davits rolling down on top of them"
Frost, whose boat was the last
to leave, said the soldiers fired their
rifles as a warning to keep away
Italians who were fighting on deck
and trying to Chamber down the life
lines. Otherwise our boat would
have suffered the same fate"

$30,000,000 Packard
EXPANSION Planned 10
Make Plane Motors
Company Tentatively
Agrees to Make 5000
Rolls Royce Engines

by the Associated Press.
DEROIT, July "A $4,000, 900
expansion program for the Packard
Motor Car Co., contingent on its
acceptance of an order for airplane
engine motors for the United States
and England, is reported probable
by Max M. Gilman, Packard presi-
dent.
Mr.. Gilman, returning from
Washington conferences at which
Packard tentatively agreed yester-
day to furnish 5000 Rolls Royce
engines for England and 5000 for
the United States, said the Board
of Directors would meet Monday or
Tuesday to consider a contract.
The 9,000-engine order was that
which Henry Ford had refused. Mr..
Gilman said he believed the Packard
board would approve the order If
the contract would protect" the
company. Mr.. Ford had turned
down the proposed deal with the as
sertion that he would make war ma
terials in his plants in this country
only for the United States Govern
ment.
Production of the motors would
begin 10 months from the day the
contract is signed, Mr.. Gilman said.
"Well build about 100 engines the
first month" he said, land five
months after that we will reach a
peak of 800 a month"
Mr.. Gilman said the expansion
would involve the hiring of $4,000
skilled workers to add to Packard's S
present pay roll of 10000, construc-
ton of testing sheds and extensive
preparations in tooling and ma
chinery. He said Packard had "al-
most enough" building space.
1--WE won't take the job, however,
unless we can make some money out
of it," Mr.. Gilman said. We're not
going into this thing for our health .

expressed the theory that the Presi-
dent might accept nomination with
the understanding that if elected he
would serve only while an emergency
existed. In such a case, the Vice
President would step into his Office
Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the
Democratic floor leader. made light
of this last conjecture in talking
with reporters
While asserting he did not know
what the President would do about
the nomination, Senator Barkley
said that confusion and chaos
were likely to result if he declined
to run after the balloting started
week after next.
Garner May Not Attend.
Vice President Garner, Senator
Wheeler of Montana and Postmaster
General Farley or their supporters
have said in the past that their
names would be presented to the
convention no matter what the
President does.
But friends of Mr.. Garner said
yesterday that the Vice President
would leave it to his managers
whether to place him in nomina-
ton and that he was not planning
to go to Chicago for the convention
Senator Wagner of New York, who
will head the convention Resolutions
Committee, said he would have a
rough draft of a platform ready to
take to Chicago early next week for
preliminary conferences with some
committee members-designate.
The Republican platform was de-
scribed by Senator Byrnes, Demo-
crat, of South Carolina as playing
into the hands of those who would
follow a policy of defeatist appease-
ment towards Germany"
This was done. he asserted in a
radio speech last night, through a
plank saying that the Republicans
"fasten upon the New Deal full re-
sponsibility for our urpreparedness
and for the consequent danger OF
involvement in war
ByrneS Gives view.
"That charge in another nation
would be considered fifth column
activity" said Senator Byrnes, who
has been mentioned as a possible
vice presidential candidate. "It gives
the impression to foreigners and to
our own people that America is un-
nrenared tn the degree of inviting
attack"
With reports current that Senator
Wheeler might head a third party
movement backed by the G. I. O.,
Senator Norris, Independent, of
Nebraska said the result Of such a
development probably would be the
election of Mr.. Willkie.
But If the Democrats nominate
another Willkie," he added, "per-
haps 1 may go fishing or help to
form a third party
If Mr.. Roosevelt is renominated.
Senator Norris said, he saw no need
for third party.
From the American Federation of
Labor, meanwhile, came word that
a Wheeler-C. I. o. third party would
not have its support. Philip Pearl
the Federation's public relations
director, writing in the Federation's
Weekly News Service, said:
IF he (Wheeler) persists in what
is apparently his present intention
of running for President on a third
party ticket with the support Of
John L. Lewis, he will thereby sever
friendly relations with the American
Federation Of Labor"
