LONDON, Feb. 24.-As a war;

months earlier than usual. Bel

vance their clocks one hour.

its customary elimination. 1t Is in

stimulate trade, which has been
hampered by the nightly blackouts.
This struck the French National
Union of Consumers of Gas and
Electricity as such good idea that
it proposed to the French govern
ment the Inauguration Of super
summer time"-a two-hour advance
of the clocks-from May IA to Sep
tember Is.
No immediate decision was given,
but the French reported the one
hour advance was popular with
everybody except farmers. They
say cows object to being MIXED an
hour earlier than usual.
British tipplers think summer
time is q bit of all right because the
pubs are to be permitted to sell!
liquor an extra half-hour daily.
Summer time began in Britain
In 19l6-during the World War.

Lodge Loses Attempt
To Stop Funds for
.Envoyto Soviet
Senate Subcommittee
Votes Down Gesture
Of Protest
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSs.
A new gesture" of protest against
Soviet Russia failed yesterday when
a Senate appropriations subcommit-
tee voted down a request by Sen
ator Lodge, Republican,, OF Massa-
chusetts to provide no pay for the
United States Ambassador to Russia.
Senator Lodge sought to strike out
phrase in the annual State De-
partment appropriation bill provid-
ing pay for the Ambassador to Rus
sia, but he said II was shouted down
without record vote"
Similar attempts were narrowly
defeated in the House when the an
nual supply bill was approved there.
Il made my move in the appro-
priation measure because that was
the only place where I could get any
consideration" Senator Lodge told
reporters.
Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and
ex-officio a member of the appro-
priations group, protested this was
not the place to take this kind Of
action"
Senator Lodge said he lost a Sec
ond argument at the stormy ses-
sion when the Senate subcommittee
overruling his protest, restored
$172,0OO for salaries of numerous
business experts" under Secretary
Of Commerce Hopkins. The House
had stricken this item from the sup
ply bill carrying funds for the State,
Commerce and Justice Departments.
Chairman McKellar of the Senate
group said 1t approved a total of
$107 ,241, 100 for the three depart
ments, only $15,500 more than voted
by the House, despite numerous in
creases and reductions.

CAMBRIDGE, Md, Feb. "a
Searching parties reported yester-
day they had found no trace Of
Carlton Ewell, Cambridge trapper
who was lost in marshland near
Duck Island during heavy snow
storm February Is.
During the search for Mr.. Ewell,
another Cambridge trapper, Ray
mond Handley, told how he escaped
possible death by seeking shelter in
a muskrat house.
Mr.. Handley said he was trapping
on an island in Blackwater River
and moored his boat just before
the storm broke. The wind swept
the craft from its mooring to the
opposite shore and because of low
visibility, the trapper was unable to
signal for help.
A nearby muskrat house, he said.
afforded some protection from the
driving snow and wind. When the
storm lessened, his brother. Charles
Handley, became alarmed. A search
located the missing man in a half

Be|gians Compromise
Neutrality in Buying
Ships, Nazis Charge
Serious View Expressed
Of Transfer Of Eight
American Vessels
By the Associated Press.

-
BERLIN, Feb. 24.-Sources close
to the government indicated today
that Germany takes a serious view
OF the sale Of eight United States
Lines vessels to Belgian firm.
The general attitude here, most
forcibly expressed by Adolf Hitler's
newspaper Voelkischer Beobachter,
is that the sale seriously COM
promised" the neutrality of Belgium.
rs this neutrality" was Beo-
bachters headline over critical COM
ment-which authorized sources in
dicated was inspired-on the trans
action.
The newspaper asserted that the
Norwegian government recently
blocked a plan to transfer United
States Lines ships to Norwegian
registry. but that now similar
sham maneuver" hoisted the Bel
gian flag over ships it said pre-
sumably would begin plying between
the United States and English and
French ports.
while the Belgian government
meanwhile explained it had nothing
to do with the transaction" Beo-
bachter said, lit nevertheless gave
the necessary approval to change
flags.
The Belgian government. by toll
Grating the deal, made itself guilty
Of a serious breach of its obligation
as a neutral"
At the beginning Of the week the
Berlin newspaper Deutsche Allge-
meine Zeitung cast suspicion on the
deal announced in New York last
Saturday.
The sale added IS 900 tons to the
Belgian merchant fleet and Allge-
meme Zeitung said "it sounds pretty
improbable that a Belgian firm is
buying this considerable tonnage,
although it is known that Belgium
long since has had great need for
tonnage and had large purchases in
mind.
"It will be worth watching
whether English buyers are hiding
themselves behind the unnamed
Belgian firm"
