bomb crashed through the roof of
the 250-year-old st. Pauls Cathe-
dral, the burial place of Great
Britain's warrior heroes, in an air

BURMA ROAD ISSUE

TOKYO, Oct. 10. - A japanese
foreign office spokesman announces
that Japan will take no counter
measures in retaliation for the
reopening of the Burma Road for
the transport of war supplies to
China.
At the same time. Japanese news
papers sought to minimize the i'm
portance of the Burma Road as
a supply route for general Chang
Kai Shek's armies. The japanese
newspapers also pointed out that
the usefulness of the Burma Road
to the Chinese has been impaired
by the establishment of Japanese
bases in French Indo-China from
where the road could be bombed.
japanese spokesman continued to
express amazement at the warning
issued to Americans in Japanese
controlled territory to leave as soon
as possible.

Cor versations to this end had

assuring Statements that Russia

been no actual commitments by the
Axis powers to the Soviet.
Of all the powers ringing the
great land mass of Russia and

Discussions between the United

sibilities of joint defense action
in the Pacific was reported by Il
A. Butler, Under Secretary of For

this forenoon to the House OF Com
mons.
The disclosure indicated tighten

against the new Rome-Berlin-Ja

This morning, despite yesterdays
surprisingly meek acceptance OF
the opening of the Burma Road by
Japan, the black clouds of war
still pile in seething columns over
the Orient.
The evacuation of the Far East
by American citizens is approach
ing the proportions of stampede,
with every available vessel booked
to capacity and approximately half
of yesterdays more than 300 ap-
plicants for passage were reject
ed because no space is available

All through the Orient this MORN
ing there is the tense feeling that
present conditions are the lull be-
fore an impending storm.
The State Department in Wash
ington revealed that it has received
several pleas from American citi-
zens that additional ships be sent
to speed evacuation.
Although Secretarys Hulrs de-
partment holds that war with ia
pan is not inevitable, they do adj
NIT that relations are very strained
and that they fear some incident
between withdrawing Americans
and the japanese.
Sudden Move Rumored
In Shanghai r umors are flying
thick that Japan may attempt 70
seize control of the International
Settlement where $500 United
States Marines are standing at the
alert behind barbwire barriers. They
are far out-numbered by several
thousand Japanese troops in ad-
jacent areas, but United States au-
thorities fear to remove them and
leave remaining citizens unprotect-
ed In the settlement all battalions
of reservists have been armed and
placed on continuous duty.
In Shanghai this morning sever
al Chinese celebrated their indie
pendence day by tossing two bombs
through the window of the leading
pro-Japanese newspaper. The plant
was reported seriously damaged
There were numerous other out

GOOD SAMARITAN OF
LABRADOR" dies; WAS
MISSIONARY OF NOTE

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 10. Sir
Wilfred Grenfel, rs, Medical Mis-
sionary to Labrador, is dead at his
Charlotte, Vermont, home accord
ing to advices received here. He
was noted for more than 40 years
for caring for the spiritual and
physical needs of the Eskimos, In
dams and fisher folk of Labrador
and Northern Newfoundland.
He began his work in that bleak
region in 1892. He navigated ships
I'D and down the treacherous coast,
journeyed inland afoot or by dog
team over windswept fields of ice
and snow, came out to enlist more
and more aid for his people, and
built up a chain of hospitals,
schools and relief centers.
Announces End
His active participation in the
work virtually ended in October,
1884 when, as he sailed from BoS-
ton for a lengthy stay in his ma
tive England, he remarked sadly
I'm getting too old to drive dog
teams and Pm afraid 1 must take
it easy until the time comes to
cash in my checks"
Hardships and years of intense
physical exertion had brought on
a chronic heart condition which
forced him to take 1t easy" But
he continued to do what he could
for Labrador and his 73rd birthday
on February %, 1888, saw him
at st. Simons Island, Ga, en-
crossed in writing of and for the
work.
Great Expansion
In response to worldwide greet
ings on that anniversary, he issued
third-person statement to lis
admirers saying that he shared
with them "the conviction and as
surance that the work to which
he has given SO many years OF
his life will go on into fields OF
greater usefulness and service.
In the more than four decades
of unceasing medical and social
service, Sir Wilfred saw his hi
name mission expand from sim
gle ship to a chain OF hospitals,
nursing stations, community CEN
tiers and schools. His work drew
appreciation and financial support
from Canada, Great Britain and
the United States and brought him
renown as "the Good Samaritan
of Labrador"
Hon0red BY Kings
Edward VII made him COM
panion of the order of ST. Michael
and st. George in 1905 and George
v advanced him to knighthood as
a commander in that order in 1927.
Harvard, Williams, Princeton, Mid
dlebury, New York, Bowdoin and
Berea in the United States, Tor
onto and McGill in Canada and
oxford in England gave him hon
orary degrees and scientific and
medical organizations on both SIDES
of the Atlantic voted him into
membership.
He was born February 20, 1865
near Cheshire, England, the son
of Algernon and Jane Georgina
Grenfell and was christened Viii
fred Thomason. He was educated

NO SQUARE PEGS IN
ROUND H0L E5Al new
5ELE(TEES DRAFTED
BY JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-If the
Army has its way, there'll be no
square pegs in round holes when
the new "selectees" are indicted
into the service. The Army never
refers to "draftees' or "conscripts"
or to the draft" or transcription"
the present program, they'll have
you know, is Selective Service and
the men are Selectees).
There are SO many different
classifications of service that it
would take more than the length
of this column merely to list them.
To see that bakers bake and
butchers butch and typists type,
the War Department has worked
out an elaborate system of check
and double CHECK tests and ques-
tionnaires to find just who is a
square peg and who round one.
World War experience taught
the military men that sorting
manpower in accordance with its
most effective qualifications could
become something more than a
major problem Even after months
of service, entire units were dis
rupted because it was discovered
that men were doing work for
which they were not best fitted.
Men who could shoe a mare were
peeling potatoes and not liking it
little bit. Expert bookkeepers
were building bridges. The end Of
it, of course, was wholesale trans
fers, wasted time, and frazzled
tempers.

To get around this in 1940-41,

Amendment Would Restrict
Debt Claims on Guardsmen
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The bill empowering President
Roosevelt to call out the National
Guard contains an amendment de-
signed to protect militiamen and re-
serves against the eviction of their
families or the loss of real or per-
sonal property which they are buy
ing on the installment plan.
The provision was adopted in the
form of an amendment at the urg-
ing of Senator Overton, Democrat,
of Louisiana.
Special court action must be un-
dertaken by the servicemans credi-
tor or landlord to obtain either evic-
ton or the repossession of the prop
erty involved. In such cases, the
court would be given wide discre-
ton to bring about a settlement or
to refuse the appeal of the creditor.
In the case of evictions, however,
this would not apply if the rent
were more than $50 monthly.
The War Department, it was
understood, was preparing a more
extensive amendment than that in
corporated by the Senate in the
National Guard bill. The depart
ment's amendment probably will be
offered in the House.
The Guard bill, as it now stands,
does not grant any relief for
Guardsmen unable to make pay
ment on insurance policies. Wheth-
er such relief would be granted in
later amendments was not stated.

Buying Of Democratic Ads
Is ILLEGAL, BRIDGES Says

Senator Bridges, Republican, oil
New Hampshire declared today that
the Democratic National Committee
was causing thousands of citizens
to violate the Hatch Act through
sale of advertising in it's campaign
book.
Attorney General jackson, he said
"gratuitously pointed out a loop
hole in the section (of the Hatch
Act dealing with political adver-
tising due to the fact Congress
omitted the word sale from the
acts provisions.
He warned that while the Demo-
cratic Committee may think it can
escape by a loophole," he had nc
doubt that buyers of advertising in
Democratic books and those who
buy the books are violating the
law"
Whatever Mr.. Jackson may say
in his effort to protect the Demo
cratic National Committee, the fact
remains that the Hatch Act makes
it unlawful for any person, corpo-
ration of group to purchase or buy
advertising in campaign book and
it also makes it unlawful to 'pur-
chase or buy such books when the
profits benefit a candidate for Fed
eral Office" Senator Bridges de-
clared in a statement issued by the
Republican National Committee.
