seen soon after it was deter
mined that the naval operations
here were to be substantial, at
least during the present war and
neutrality emergency. 1t was
also soon seen that Marine hos
pital facilities would not be suf-
ficient for the needs, while Key
West has no municipal hospital
that might be utilized by the
naval forces.
One of the serious phases of
the disqualification problem con-
fronting naval officers is the fact
that the wives of the naval Of
ficers and enlisted men also win
require adequate facilities. An
off-the-record fact is that several
of these wives are reliably re-
ported as prospective mothers
and the naval officers feel it
necessary to make some provi-
vision for their prenatal care
and for disqualification when
necessary.

BY PRESTON GROVER.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IS
There is a well-fed belief in
Washington that the thrilling
story about President Roosevelt
choosing Secretary Hull as his
successor was broadcast as part
of a campaign to save the Trade
Agreements Act.
The story blossomed so fire.
quently that the secretary him
self put cut a statement framed
to tame the report without act
ually killing it. The Hull boom
let grew fast enough that for a
time it locked as if the secretary
might be pushing the trade agree
ments only to boost his can.
didacy. L1
No situation could be more
tragic than that in the eyes of
Secretary Hull. He sincerely be.
lieves that his reciprocal trade
agreement is the sanest influence
abroad today, too valuable to
have it's life staked altogether
upon his own candidacy.
One Senator Says -.
One senatorial supporter of the
trade agreement program said the
Hull boom was designed to con-
tinue in force until Congress has
extended the life of the Trade
Agreements Act, which other
wise will expire June IL. He
thought it might be needed"
from time to time by further
'leakings" of inside informa-
ton. Once the act is extended
he suspected the Hull boom might
be left to carry its own weight.
The fact that the President de-
voted a husky part of his annual
message to the trade agreement
program augmented the belief
that every administration effort
would be put forward to rush the
extension of the act through Con-
gress at an early date.
That would be healthy for the
administration in several re-
spects. 1t would get the tariff
issue out of the way ahead of the
campaign. 1t is a cockle-burr un-
der the saddle of party harmony.
Further, it would strengthen the
hand of the State Department in
negotiating its latest agreement
with Argentina. That is proving
tough one, toughest of all, in
some respects. Yet it is the key
stone of the trade arch which the
administration hopes to extend
over all the Americas.
California Headache
Things are boiling in California
over whether Senator Sheridan
(pensioneer) Downey or ex-Sena-
tor McAdoo is to run the show.
McAdoo has the inside track at
the White House but Downey is
in the Senate, the only Demo-
cratic member, and that counts
when appointments are to be
confirmed.
Downey at present is in virtual
rebellion over patronage. His
worst enemies are being appoint
ed to office and none of his
friends get the nod unless they
are Endorsed by McAdoo also.
Just before Congress took up,
President Roosevelt appointed
Paul r. Leake as Customs Col
lector at San Francisco. In the
last campaign Leake opposed both
Downey and his gubernatorial
running mate, Culbert L. Olson.

England has not yet lost its con-
fidence in the outcome of the war
nor are the English people cowed
and frightened at the destruction
that is being caused all around
them by Nazi bombs, judging by
the tenor of a letter that was just
received in this city by Mrs. j.
P. Kinney of Burton street.
The letter was dated the oath
of September but didn't get to
Waterbury until last week. 1t had
been opened by Examiner 4128":;
but none of its contents was CEN
sored and it arrived intact at its
Waterbury destination.
The writer said that she had
intended to fill out a form for
evacuation to the U. S. A, but af-
ter reading about the children who
were lost in the Atlantic when
their boat was sunk she thought
it might be just as well to remain
in England.
