BALTIMORE, Sept. 26.-tR-Sur-
vivors of the Dutch steamer Stad
Schiedam, blown up in the North
Atlantic Sept. Is witha loss of 20
lives, told today how they tossed
about on RATS for six days in a
stormy sea before being picked up
by a British ship.
The twelve survivors, badly sun
burned and suffering from expos.
ure, were brought here by the
British freighter White Crest.
Three of them-Cornelius Van
Geel, Is, Adranes Keaptein, %.
and Martin Van Mort, 29-were
taken to a hospital.
Van Geel said the Stad
Schiedam, four days out of New
Orleans and bound for Hull Eng

of a terrific storm"

was not a single big fire to be seen
on the city's horizon.
The incendiaries came down
most thickly in two north London
districts, and. the center of the
metropolis was shaken by n es-
pecially heavy explosion.
The southeast coastal area also
had been under heavy attack last
night and at least six raiding
planes were reported brought down
in that section in a series of dog
fights.
The air ministry announced last
night that altogether 81 German
planes had been shot down before
midnight-more than a third of
them costly bombers. Eight Brit
ish fighters were lost.
Aside from this, it was said IN
officially but authoritatively, TIA.
at least nine other raiders had
been destroyed.
The 81 officially announced as
bagged were understood to have
been shot down in a furious 30
minute battle over the / sic of
Wight; at least nine others in en-

A spokesman for the opposition
department Commander Alfred
Kelly of Oregon, replied: the peo-
pie of America want courage from
the American legion, not appease-
ment. Appeasement will
lead us to war;"
The resolution was roared down
on a voice vote, with opponents
among the 1,451 delegates all but
drowning out those in favor.
The election of Warner, a S.
year-old lawyer who was forced to
give up an army career because
of wounds he received in France,
was marked by all the trappings
and the tumult of a major political
convention.

Mayor Thomas E. Cooper ex.
pressed the opinion the city can
secure from the federal government
enough land for an armory site
for 81 and other considerations
without buying the entire 1876 acre
tract.
w. Louis Fisher, city commits
sioner of finance, pointed out the
commissioners have had no official
word from the WPA of the alloca-
ton offer and suggested that nc
action could be taken in the alb
sence of such word.
On motion of Wade the commits.
sioners voted to inquire into the
facts in the case and upon ascer-
tanning then the mayor is to call
a special meeting of the commits
sioners to determine what action
will be taken.
According to a statement by Fred
Cohn, WPA information service
head, in Raleigh, the only contingent
upon which the erection of the
arrnory hinges is the providing of a
site by the city government and also
any skilled labor that might be
needed on the project.
