integrity and independence of oth- CTS; determination to mind our own business and renunciation of any right to intervene in domestic affairs of other nations; resolution to set- tie all disputes in the Americas in accordance with justice and equity rather than by force and establish ment of effective machinery for that purpose; and recognition that vigorous and mutually beneficial in- ternational economic relations to make possible rising level of eco- homie well being is a paramount premise of peace.
 Basis of Life
 Declaring that the basis of life in coming centuries hinges on the present world conflict, he said sol- emnly:
 q affirm that life must be based on positive values.
 "You cannot make men believe that a way of life is good when it spreads poverty, misery, disease and death. Men cannot be everlastingly loyal unless they are free.
 we are determined that our mu- tual relations be built upon honor and good faith. We are determined to live in peace and to make that peace secure. We are determined to follow the path of free peoples to a civilization worthy of free men,"
 MT. Roosevelt prefaced his discus sion of the role of the Americas in a world of war by recounting the rec ord of 50 years of effort for peace and cooperation since the Pan American union was founded ir 1890. He emphasized, however, that even before establishment of the union, there existed a 69-year rec- ord of work for peace among the nations of North and South America The ideal of a hemispheric family of nations living in friendship and se- curity, he said, originated in the mind of Simon Bolivar, the great South American liberator.
 "His aim," said MT. Roosevelt, was peace for the Americas. His hope was that the American example might eventually give peace to the entire world"

that British planes bombed Stavan- ger earlier yesterday.
 Incendiary and high explosive bombs were dropped in the second raid, the air ministry said, and ground defenses were machine gunned by coastal reconnaissance planes despite darkness and heavy rains. Heavy anti-aircraft gun fire was encountered but the British planes were undamaged, the min istry said.
 One British pilot in the raid, air circles said, reported:
 "The air was simply alive with blue and orange searchlights, rockets and shells, which burst into groups of four bluish-white stars.
 We sailed through it all and dropped our bombs right on the tar get.
 My rear gunner sprayed bullets down the beam of one blue pencil searchlight which had picked us up. The light went out at once and re- mained out"
 Narvik May Be One
 It was taken for granted that Narvik, the great Norwegian ore port was one point of landing. Britain had asserted that it had sunk every German defending destroyer in Mar vik harbor, as well as merchant ships in order to trap the Germans. Ger many admitted this morning that the British had blockaded Narvik).
 There was no hint, for the present, of the points where British forces might have landed.
 1 But well informed sources said that there were five points where Britain might possibly have essayed land- ings-Narvik, Trondheim, Bergen, Namsos and Andalsnes, near Ales- und.
 Trondheim, once the capital of Norway and now it's third city, was suggested in well informed quarters as offering a favorable point for landing and subsequent maneuver- ing. Trondheimfjord is wide and SC | utSp GIldC lI Call IlOG Uc tdSlly IIlulCG There is space for camps, anc Trondheim is a junction point fol three railroads.
 One small mine railroad goes north to Namsos. A second runs across to the Swedish frontier and would be useful for supply O. troops operating in the mountains. The third railroad runs southward tc Oslo and Is joined by another which has its terminus at Andasnes. In this correction an Evening Stand ard military correspondent wrote:
 Allied Base In Norway
 T believe that the three ports oi Andalsnes, Namso and Trondheinl must form the Allied base in Nor way"
 He recalled that almost every invasion of Norway, even by the Swedes, had been launched from Trondheim.
 The difficult nature of the rugged Norwegian coast line, which does not she,ve gently but is a series ol cliffs abutting the sea, narrowed

 Hope For U. s. Support
 I was able to talk to some of the Norwegians in my pidgin Swedish, and the sight of me reminded them of relatives in America. They said they hoped for strong support from America, with Norwegian merchant ships, conveyed by Allied warships, bringing in supplies.
 The Norwegians are especially proud of their 68-year-old King Haakon who, I learned, had been forced to leave the train on which he fled Oslo last Tuesday, and take safety under 8 bridge at Lillestroem during a heavy German air raid. He wore gray army uniform and was accompanied by the royal family: Crown Prince Olaf, Grown Princess Martha, daughter of Sweden's King Gustav, and their three children, who wore red ski suits.
 They all stayed under the railway bridge for an hour. The king, sens ing the nervousness among people nearby, took his grandson, Prince Harold, on his shoulder and talked quietly to him, heartening the others with his pleasantries and calm cour- age, I was told.
 am unable to tell much of what have learned along the border. am my own censor, but I realize that chance word might cost the loss of some Norwegian fjord, moun- tainside, city or air base.

We'll informed quarters forecast the names of places where British forces had landed, and other details of the operations, might not be an- nounced until the Britons were ill contact with German forces, in order that the Germans would be given no information which might aid them.
 Two More Transports Sunk
 Twenty minutes after the issuance of the admiralty-war office commit nique, an admiralty communique said that apparently British subma- rines had sunk two additional Ger man transports.
 The air ministry had said that British Royal Air Force planes had raided Stavanger, on the Norwegian coast, last night for the second time in one day, and had dropped incen- diary and high explosive bombs and machine gunned ground defenses de- spite darkness, heavy rain and heavy anti-aircraft gun fire.
 In a communique issued late last night the admiralty had asserted that British submarines alone had sunk or damaged at least IS Ger man ships in Scandinavian waters during the most active naval week of the war.
 Further, the German steamship Alster, 8,514 tons, and three traWlers had been captured, the admiralty said, and the German tanker Skag- errak, 6004 tons, and the German steamship Maine, 7,624 tons, had been scuttled.
 It had asserted that in submarine activities, the submarine Spearfish had torpedoed the German 10000 ton battleship Admiral Scheer.

BASS RECEIVES FALSE TEETH

Temple, Tex.-(UP)-Freaks of nature, such as rabbits with deer horns are often created by taxi dermists, but Jack Keith recently displayed a new idea. He had false teeth fitted in the wide-open mouth of a 10 pound black bass, which he had caught and had mounted. An accompanying sign read: "n I'd kept my mouth shut. wouldn't be here."

 Claim British Have Narvik

two Norwegian warships, on German whaler and one German, one British and two Swedish ore ships.
 Claim British Have Narvik
 An unidentified radio station, transmitting in Norwegian, had as- serted yesterday morning that Mar vik was entirely British at the mo- ment," that 1900 Germans had been killed or wounded there and that the Germans were retreating inland in small groups, pursued by Norwegian soldiers.
 GA British Broadcasting company in French language broadcast picked up by the National Broad- casting company in New York last night, quoted a Stockholm report that German troops had abandoned Narvik.)
 Public expectation that the news of an Allied landing would come soon was made more confident by the feeling that the arrival of even a small force in Norway would strengthen Norwegian resistance, demonstrate to the Balkans and Hol- land and Belgium that the Allies were now actively fighting German encroachment against neutrals, and impress Italy at a most important moment with the idea that 1t might be inadvisable to throw its weight into the war on Germany's side.
 British experts seemed sure that Germany had committed two seri- ous mistakes, first landing men in waters which they did not command and secondly distributing their land- ing forces over 1000 miles of coast ] at eight separate points.

HaakOn and German represent atives in Norway had ceased but he said that this did not mean termination of contact between them. He said that the Norwegian legation in Berlin was carrying on as usual.
 The Norwegian people and Nor wegian officials have not yet de- cided what attitude to adopt to- wards Germany, he said.
 London, April 15-(UP)-Dutch Minister Michael van Verduynen visited the foreign office today, and it was reported that he con- ferred with Foreign Secretary Wis., count Halifax.
 The visit was regarded as re- newed indication of British vigil lance against possible German moves in the low countries since it preceded a visit by Belgian Am basSador Baron de Cartier de Mar chienne. The Belgian ambassador also conferred at length at the foreign office on Sunday.
 Paris, April 15-UP)-A French shipowner of Danish origin who arrived here last night with a trainload of French diplomats and journalists surprised in COpen- hagen by the German invasion, said that Prince Walear, son of the late Prince Aage, nephew of the king of Denmark, was killed re- Sisting the Germans.
 Berlin, April 15-(UP)-OfficiaI sources stated today that no Brit ish troops had landed in parts of Norway occupied by German forces. Authorized sources pointed out, however, that the Norwegian coastline is 1900 miles long and irregular. Therefore, it was stated, that it was possible that British troops had landed at some points not yet occupied by the Germans.
 Peiping, April 15-UP)-The American embassy is investigating the bombing of the American Catholic Mission hospital at Chih- kiang in Human province, Satur- day by Japanese planes. The hos pital was demolished but there were no casualties.
 The Catholic church at Linchu- nan, in Kiangsi province, was bombed on the same day.

The Washington
 Daybook
By Jack Stinnett

Wars may come and wars may go but the fall of the house of Oslo doesn't strike nearly as close to home as a cloud of whirring mosquitoes on the night you and the best girl have gone to the lake for a picnic and a swim.
 Sitting in Rock Creek Park the other night, I slapped at whin- ing noise nearing the back of my neck, It might have been the first mosquito of the season. Like a diplomat caught in a corner. it refused to be interviewed. But Just Fearing 1t there gave me an idea and I popped in on the Fed ,eral Bureau of Entomology to- day. They know more about mos quitos than J. Edgar Hoover, Mar tie Dies, and the Army and Navy combined will ever know about Nazis.
 For exampe, Kipling couldn't possibly have written with SC much fervor about the female of the species" being more dead ly than the male, if he hadn't had a brush with mosquitos. AS a matter of fact, it's the female mosquito that's afflicted witf blood lust.

just winged Rudy Vallees and Bing Crosbys who vo-do-de-o-do about the summer night trying to get the ladies to pay them some mind. And it's their little habit of going where the female hum ming is thickest that the Bureau of Entomology hopes will be their undoing.
 The bureau is pushing a new electrical gadget which duplicat- es the siren love songs of the mos quito femmes. When the young men dash into the trap, the re- suit is shocking-at east shock ing enough to kill the love-sick swains. The theory is that if this wholesale electrocution system can kill off enough males, the queenies will get discouraged and the tribe will become extinct, It's a grand theory. l hope it works.
 That wasn't all I learned from the bureau. Not ony are the girl mosquitos the only ones that at tack men but only one of three famies of girls is deadly.
 If you've merely had night out with the Culex and Aedie girls, the bureau tells me, you needn't worry. They are pests, it is true and can raise hob and knobs on the skin you love to touch, and yours too, but they don't do serious damage.
