Famed Admiral Evan,
Picked 10 End Shelter
ProbIem'in in London
Most-Decoruted Hero
In British Navy Gets
Things Done Speedily
By the Associated Press.

6y tne hSSOClhteO fTeSS.
LONDON, Oct. with winter
approaching and Nazi air raids con-
tinuing, the government yesterday
enlisted the directive genius of Ad-
miral Sir Edward Ratcliffe Garth
Russell Evans-"Evans OF the
Broke"-to solve the urgent prob
lem of providing warm and ade-
quate shelter for all Of London S
people.
Britons who know him say they
confidently expect him to cut
through the red tape which now
keeps closed at night some of the
big shelters under commercial build
ings with the same expedition that
made him the hero of the Dover
patrol of 1917.
For like his old friend. Winston
Churchill, Evans OF the Broke" has
reputation for getting things done
and done well.
He's younger than Mr.. Churchill
Just under 59-but his name for
nearly generation has been some
thing to conjure with wherever Brit
ish seamen foregather.
All Britons know of him and
even schoolboys know of the Dover
patrol exploit when he commanded
the Broke and with that vessel &C
companied by another destroyer, the
Swift, reverted to the primitive
naval warfare mode of fighting
called boarding" and attacked six
German destroyers. They sank two.
rammed one broadside, and badly
damaged the others.
The most decorated man in the
British Navy. Admiral Evans was
born in 1881. Expelled from school
for fighting for pennies in London
meat market when scarcely 10 years
old, he joined the mercantile ma
rine training ship Worcester ard
later entered the navy when he
was is.
He learned at least three things
in that hard school: To speak the
truth, have a daily cold bath ard
never to speak disrespectfuliy of
women.
He made three expeditions to
Antarctica, in one case taking
charge of an expedition after the
death of Capt. Robert Falcon Scott.
After the World War he was pro-
NOTED to rear admiral and COM
manded the Royal Australian Navy.
Later he was commander in chief Of
the African station and of the home
fleet.
He was rector of Aberdeen Uni
versity for two years I937- 1890
and then retired to write boys BOOKS
Of adventure. When Mr.. Churchill
became First Lord of the Admiralty
he prevailed on Admiral Evans to go
to Norway as a naval attache. When
Norway collapsed he returned to
England.
Lately he has been one of Lon

Representative Ryan, a former law
partner of Gov. Stassen, is the
Democrat who proposed at the
Chicago Convention last July reso-
luton barring third term for Presi-

pro- o-RoOsevelt delegates. But he
made his point, injecting the anti
third-term question into the Con-

five members of the House to three

Today Mr.. Peterson, who served

the death of Gov. Olson, is the

The two r-Laborites, who

1t is within the possibilities that
in the future the Farmer-Labor
party may stage a comeback The
Republican party in 1884 and 1886
was at a low ebb in this State, so
low that some of its candidates ran
third in a race with their Farmer
Labor and Democratic opponents.
The reactionary element in the
G. o. P. had been a long time
in control. and the voters turned
against them. Indeed, it was the
progressive element in the Repub-

Farmer-Labor party here more than
score of years ago. The new
party also attracted some of the
Democratic voters. The Repubh-
