FLEET
MAY Be PROPOSED
Congressional Sources Say
1t May Be Built Around
New Type Battleship

WASHINGTON, June 10 Up -
Congressional sources well-inform'
ed on naval affairs predicted TO-
day that the administration soon
would propose construction OF a
powerful Atlantic fleet built around
a new-type warship.
The possibility of Nazi capture
or destruction of the French and
British fleets, these sources said,
indicated a necessity for additional
American naval strength in the
Atlantic. The main fleet now is
based in the Pacific and naval
s~trategists feel that it should be
kept there.
At the same time, it was author
itatively reported that the naval
high command had abandoned any
idea of revising the current naval
building program to provide a
greater number of ships of smaller
and faster types than originally
contemplated.

house naval committee said that
the present program would not be
disturbed. He limited he might have
a statement on the subject Mon
day.
Other sources said that the ma
vy's general board, studying the
problems created by developments
in the European war, had rejected
the idea of abandoning or postpon-
ing construction of battleships and
large aircraft carriers in favor of
smaller vessels. AS a result, the
navy will proceed with work on a
second pair of As, 600 ton battle
ships-to be the biggest in the
fleet.

LATE PRIEST LAUDED
Bishop Darst, Buchheit,
Lennon And Others Talk
At Memorial Meeting

The suggestion that a building to
house a. gymnasium and auditorium
for the specific purpose of training
youth and as a memorial to Father
James A. Namely was offered at
a meeting of Catholics, Protestants
and Jews at the New Hanover High
school yesterday afternoon at which
time the life of the well-knoWn
priest was memorialized.
The idea that the building would
be the best way to carry on the
work among the boys of n city
as started by Father Manley was
offered by Phil Buchheit, who for
several years worked with the late
pastor of st. Mary's church, IN
Golden Gloves activities.
Greatest Auditorium
"Perhaps the greatest desire n
ambition of his life was to see ade-
ouate playground facilities provided
for the children and the youth Oh
this community. He not only want
ed these things, but he worked to-
ware the end that they be provld-
ed, Buckheit said.
"He knew the need OF young 1el-
lows and did all he possibly couio
TO make their way as tine ana as
oood as he could" he said in Of
fering the suggestion thai a mem
orial auditorium be erected.

dear friend" termed Father Manley
q "Happv Warrior-in the SERVES

praising the courage of the late
nriest. Bishop Darest said that
rather Manley never had the motto
of "safety first-rather his safety
was in the lonely hearts, the broken
bearts of the home"

ON ITS WAR FUTURE

Discussion OF Urgent
Note From Churchill
NAILS PASS AUXERRE
FRANCE

BORDEAUX, June 10 R -
France, in the deadliest Of peril OF
Ter very life as a nation, chose 84-
year-old Marshal Henri Philippe
as premier tonight.
The Paul Reynaud government
is gone, fallen in the face Of the
decision, which must soon
be made, whether France can longer
resist on her own soil the pell-mell
legions of nazi Germany.
Lesions Advance
Those legions pressed farther and
farther toward the south of France
tonight, with more than 1000, 900
men thrusting Gro the country
side, virtually from the sea to the
Swiss border.
(Basel, Switzerland, reported that
France had abandoned the mighty
Maginot line, except for a few gun
ners, electing to use those 500, 900
or more men in the open instead
of in the winding recesses of that
outflanked system of fortifications.)
The fall of the Reynaud cabinet,
after an almost continual series Of
conferences which lasted late into
the night. followed discussion of an
apparently urgent message from
Britain's Prime Minister Winston
Churchill.
That Churchill himself might be
in France was indicated.
Escapes Bombing
Reynau dwas said to have escaped
narrowly a German bombing raid

Travelled to interview Churchill in
interim between the French
cabinet sessions.
Whether Reynau dand Churchill
met was not disclosed.
The nature Of Churchilrs message
was secret, but it was portrayed as
of the greatest Importance.
Whether France will decided to
yield her soil to the invader, for
the time being, perhaps to continue
the struggle from elsewhere, ap-
parently hinged on the Churchill
message and on the cabinets long
and weighty discussion of President
Roosevelt's offer Of material air
from the United States, short Of
American military participation.

ment over to the aged Petain, Rey-
maud did confer with British AM
