The Ideal Room

I saw a room in a magazine
All done in perfect taste
But when we had ours done
that way
It was soon laid to waste.
We had a birthday partv.
The kids scuffed up the floor,
The cat ran up the curtains
Now our ideal rooms no more.
We all seem to feel better.
We're free to roll the rug
Whenever someone's bitten
Bv that naughty iitterbug.
Our room was lust a room
Not a part of home, you see
But now we all enjoy it
That's the way a room should
be! Joyce Danielson

Churchill Accuses Petain
OF Violating Assurances
In Giving Up Fleet
SHIPS AT ALEXANDRIA
EUROPE
(By The Associated Press)

(By The Associated PreSS)
German bombers slashed at Brit
ain anew and with greater vlgor
early today in widespread raids
overthe English midlands and Scot
land.
At least three of the NaZi were
sent crashing to earth by a spec
tacular swarm of British fighter
planes aided by hot anti-aircraft
fire.
Many incendiary and high-ex-
plosive bombs were dropped and
fires we're started, the British ack-
nowledged, though they did not
disclose the full extent of damage.
Surrenders Fleet
The raids, which are getting to
be a regular midnight-to-dawn diet
for the British, followed confirma.
ton that the Frenzy navy and air
force are to pass into German and
Italian control under the French
armistice terms.
The all-important question Of
what is to become of the French
fleet, second largest in Europe,
was answered by the official armi-
stice stipulations, made public
simultaneously, and by French
Premier-Marsha1 Petain himself.
Prime Minister Churchill, accus.
ing Petain of violating solemn as
surances" in handing over the fleet
earlier n the day had declared
that Brtain's safety will be pow
erfully though not decisively affect
ed by what happens to the French
navy" He held out a faint hope
that England still might salvage
something of the French fleet
through the empire outposts.
Just how much Of the French
sea and air power the Germans
and Italians actually could get
their hands on remained un-
answered.
Ships at Alexandria
Units of the French navy still
were with the British fleet at Alex
andria, Egypt, yesterday and
swarms of French planes winged
their way southwark over the Me-
Giterranean during the armistice
negotiations, ostensibly to carry on
the fight from outposts there.
Germany promised solemnly
however, under her armistice not
to use French warships against
Britain.

Was Requested Recently
By Engineers Club

Mayor Thomas E. Cooper and
Addison H. Hewlett, chairman of
the county commission, will meet
at some time this week to appoint
a local defense committee as au-
thorized by the action of the two
boards, they said yesterday.
The appointment of the commit
tee was requested in a resolution
passed by the board Of directors
of the local Engineers club and
presented to the city and county
boards. Both approved the resolu-
ton, offered their cooperation, and
designated Cooper and Hewlett to
make the appointments.
The members of the committee
appointed by the board of directors
of the Engineers club are: It.
Col. George Gillette, George G..
Thomas and E. w. Mango.
The resolution asked that the de-
tense committee be composed OF
representatives from the follow
ing: U. S. army, U. S. m y,
engineers, national guard, Ameri-
can Legion, the Customs service,
the U. S. district attorneys office,
the city, county and state law en-
forcement agencies, the Dow
Chemical company, the Tide Wat
err Power company, the state high
way department, the Atlantic
Coast Line, the local oil terminals,
the communication companies, the
county medical society and the
local press.

SILENT ABOUT SHIPS
Says He Has Heard Nothing
About Forming South
American Squadron

June Ao-h-
President Roosevelt, invoking a
plan of world war days to provide
additional officers for the expand
ing fleet, announced today that
5000 young volunteers would be
trained annually for commissions
in the naval reserve.
He disclosed at a press confer
ence that unmarried American
born men between 10 and 26 years
of age, who have had two years
Or more of college work, could
begin applying for the training
next Friday. Applications will be
received at headquarters of the
naval district or at the naval re-
serve unit or navy recruiting sta
ton nearest their homes.
Intensive Training

statement given out at the press
conference.
Regular officers and petty Of
ficers of the fleet will pound home
the art of fighting and maneuver-
ing a modern man-o'-war and will
inculcate these young men with
the elements of discipline, team
work, loyalty, endurance and tech
nical skill which r the founda'
tons of the naval excellence OF
the fleet"
At the same time Mr.. Roose-
welt maintained silence about re-
ports that warships of the United
States fleet which left Hawaii yes
erday and last night in the direc.
ion of the west coast, were bound
for the Panama canal and the At
lantic.
No News
There was no news coming from
the White House on that score,
the President declared. Further,
he said he had heard nothing OF
the possibility of forming a South
American squadron of the navy.
This possibility had been men
toned in view of the fact that the
United States cruiser Quincy was
visiting Montevideo, Uruguay,
where widespread Nazi activities
have been under investigation;
that the cruiser Wichita had been
ordered there also and that the
destroyer O'Brien was in South
American waters.
Mr.. Roosevelt, asked whether he
thought it was advisable to pass
legislation authorizing a draft Of
manpower, said there was nothing
he could say about that except that
the whole problem was in the
study stage.
The chief executive was ques.
toned also as to whether he
thought it would be desirable tc
