Arboretum Photographs
To Be Displayed Here

A collection Of 81 arboretum pho
tographs will be placed on public
exhibit at the Interior Department
art museum Tuesday as q part of
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commissions efforts to develop
interest in the arboretum project
here, John Nolen, jr., director of
planning, announced yesterday.
The photographs, measuring II by
IA inches, were taken of well-known
arboretums in the United States and
abroad. Their purpose is to show de-
velopment possibilities not portrayed
by plans alone. Accompanying the
pictures will be maps showing loca-
tions and opportunities for develop
ment in Washington.
Frederic A. Delano, chairman of
the commission, also is chairman of
the advisory council of the National
Arboretums. The photograph collec-

Hull Calls Attention
To Previous Statements
On Netherlands Indies
By the Associated Press.

oy tue AbbOCihte0 1IeS4.
The United States Government
made plain yesterday, as news dis
patches from the Orient reported
Japanese troops were moving toward
French 1ndo- China, that it would
regard any attempt to alter that
colony's status by force as q threat
to peace in the entire Pacific area.
Questioned at q press conference
about the reported Japanese aca
tivities, Secretary Of State Hull said
he knew nothing other than the
press reports, but called attention
to his previous statements concern
ing maintenance Of the status quo
in the Pacific. .....
In the field Of foreign policy
near home. Secretary Hull said all
the 20 other American republics
had replied favorably in principle
to this Governments suggestion
that they consult shortly on prob
lens growing out of the European
war.
Place Not Yet Disclosed,
He said he could not yet disclose
when and where the Pan American
consultation would be held, nor
whether he would be the United
States representative. 1t has been
widely assumed that tine meeting
would be about July IS In Havana.
The previous statements on the
Pacific to which Mr.. Hull referred
when asked about French Indo-
China were issued when concern
first arose here about the future
Of. the Netherlands East Indies, a
source Of rubber and tin-vital de-
tense materials for the United
States.
In one issued last April II the
Secretary said this Governments
position regarding the Netherlands
Indies was based on a doctrine
which has universal application
and for which the United States
unequivocally stands"
This statement also said that any
alienation of the status quo Of the
Netherlands Indies by other than
peaceful processes would be preju-
dicial to the cause of stability, peace
and security not only in the region
OF the Netherlands Indies but in
the entire Pacific area"
Trading Plan Nearly Ready.
In his remarks on the Pan-Amer-
lean Conference, the Secretary Of
State said that tentative United
States proposal for an inter-Amer-
ican trading arrangement was al
most ready for submission to the
individual governments in this hem
lsphere, but that this plan would not
necessarily be taken up at fhe forth
coming Pan-American consultation.
Reliable sources have described
the trade proposal as a suggestion
that a huge cartel or monopoly be
established to handle exports of sur
plus products from all the Americas.

LONDON, June % R.-The
Admiralty and Air Ministry is
sued the tollowing con1n1uniQue
today:
The 26,0OO-ton German battle
cruiser Scharnhorst has received
considerable damage from attack by
our navy and air force. A German
destroyer has also been hit by a
torpedo. One of our submarines
sighted the Scharnhorst soon after
she had left Trondheim Fjord.
The battle cruiser was clearly on
passage to a safe port where she
could repair the damage sustained
when hit by at least one heavy
bomb during an attack by the air
craft of the fleet air arm on June
13. She was heavily escorted. The
submarine attacked the Scharnhorst
and obtained one hit with torpedo.
AS soon as the report of this
attack was received, R. A. F. air.
craft of the coastal command were
dispatched to shadow and keep in
touch with the enemy. Shortly
afterward an attack was delivered
by torpedo bomber aircraft of the
fleet air arm. No hits were scored
on the damaged battle cruiser, but
one of the escorting destroyers was
hit by torpedo. Two of our air
craft failed to return.
An hour later a bombing attack
was made on the Scharnhorst by R.
A. F. aircraft of the coastal COM
mand. In spite of intense opposi-
ton resulting in the loss of three
of our aircraft, bombing attacks
were pressed home and three direct
hits with heavy bombs were made
on the Scharnhorst.
"Units of the Royal Navy were
Immediately dispatched at high
speed to intercept the German
forces, but with visibility rapidly
deteriorating, further contact was
not made"

Important German aircraft fac
tories and storage buildings at
Bremen, Kassel, Rothenburg and
Gottingen were attacked last night
by heavy bombers of the r. A. F.
in q series of raids lasting for
nearly an hour and a half.
At Bremen, the attack was direct
ed against the large Focke-Wul
aircraft works. The first bomber
reached the target five minutes be-
fore midnight, and in the lombard
ment that followed, a large number
of heavy and incendiary bombs were
dropped.
Hits were registered in the center
OF factory buildings, and two violent
explosions were observed. Fires were
started at various points of an
aerodrome, and one of the hangers
was extensively damaged.
The objective at Kassel was the
Feiseler aircraft works, and in the
course Of the attack several bombs
were seen to fall on the target.
Hangers were damaged at Roth
enburg, as well as the aerodrome
and military buildings. An aircraft
storage depot at Gottingen was also
considerably damaged by high ex-
plosives dropped by another at
tacking force.
Another bomber attacked an aero
drome at Huntlosen, southwest of
Delmenhorst, which was clearly
visible in the moonlight, and set
fire to a number of aircraft lined
up on the west side of the air nase.
Heavy bombs were also seen to
burst on the runway. Aerodromes
to the north of Hamburg and at
Kassel were also successfully at
tackled.
simultaneously with these at
tacks, other Squadrons OF heavy
bombers were engaged in raids on
railway functions, marshalling yards
and oil depots in Northwest Ger
many.
In the course of them, six supply
and ammunition trains between
Osnabruck and Bremen, and rear
the town of Rhein, were wrecked
by direct hits from high explosives.
Salvos of bombs dropped by raiders
on a goods train at Furstenau,
northwest Of Rhein, completely
wrecked it.
A direct hit was made with q
heavy bomb on a station ut Ohrte-
mesche, and when a second bomb
hit the goods train, which was
standing in a station, severe ex-
plosion followed. This first explo-

igniting. A fierce fire resulted.
One mile to the north of Linz
forde station, on the line from
Osnahruck to Bremen, the pilot of
one of our bombers saw Two trains
near one another and moving in
opposite directions. Several at
tacks were made, as result of
which both trains were wrecked.
Aircraft later found another goods
train on the south side of Lamport,
and this also received a direct hit.
Another squadron of bombers,
attacking a station at Lingen, i'm
portant junction northwest of Os-
nabruck, made direct hits on a
goods train standing in it.
The Krupp works at Essen, as
well as railway sidings nearby, were
bombed by another section of the
raiding force, and several hits were
registered on factory buildings.
A large oil storage depot near
Hanover was subjected to attacks.

throughout the world, including the
Southern United States, has been
directed successfully against this
particular mosquito. A few years
ago cases were reported from the
Brazilian jungles. Here the popu-
lation was too scant to permit
passage from person to person by
means Of the mosquitoes and the
jungle area was not propitious for
the breeding of the particular
species.
The new type of yellow fever was
extremely virulent. It became known
as the "newlywed's disease" because
1t was especially likely to attack
brides and bridegrooms who took
up homesteads at the edge of the
wilderness. The theory has been
that there were animal carriers, per-

which served as a reservoir of the
scourge, although they themselves
might have developed an immunity
to it.

scourge was spread by a certain

During the last year, it was re-
