Naval Academy Cuts
Course 10 Train
Officers Quickly
Edison Says 194l Class
Will Be Graduated
Four Months Early
By the Associated Press.

Secretary Edison disclosed last
night that the Naval Academy was
shortening its course of study, as
it did during the World War, In
order to provide additional officers
quickly for the Navy.
Announcing that the class of 194l
would be graduated next February
7, four months ahead of schedule
the retiring Navy chief said:
This early graduation of the 1941
class is necessitated in order to
furnish additional officers for the
naval defense expansion"
Mr.. Edison announced aso that
the annual practice cruises Of the
midshipmen, now in progress,
would be shortened. Presumably
this will result in members of the
classes of 1941, 1912 and 1943 re-
turning to their studies at the acad-
emy in late summer, earlier than
usual.
Army May Shorten Course.
The War Department also is con-
sidering a shortened course at the
West Point Military Academy.
Mr.. Edison's statement did not
say whether the class of ~ at An
napolis would be graduated in June
1941, year ahead of schedule, but
this will be the case if the precedent
established during the World War
is followed.
In March, 1917, a month before
the United States declared war on
Germany, the Annapolis class OF
1917 was graduated. The class OF
1918 was graduated in June of 1917
and the course study was reduced
to three years for some time there
after. The last of the three-year
class was graduated as the class OF
1921 (A) in June, 1920, and the
Academy returned to a normal
schedule with the graduation of the
class of 1921 OBJ in June, 1921. The
latter class took the usual four
years of work.
Cruise Shortened.
Mr. Edison announced a modified
itinerary for the practice cruise now
being taken by the 402 midshipmen
of the class of Al, together with Sec
ond-year classmates, on the battle
ships Texas, Arkansas and New
York. Saying that these ships left
Colon, Panama Canal Zone, yester-
day, he added they would get back
to Annapolis on August Is. Origi-
nally, this cruise had been sched-
uled to end August %.
The Navy disclosed that a coastal
cruise for second class midshipmen
on eight destroyers had been under
way since June 10, starting two
weeks earlier than normally.

Sinking Of ; Ships
By Subs Is Claimed
BY Italian Chiefs
British Headquarters
In Egypt Declared
Rozed in Air Roid
By the Associated Press,

80 VAC Aoo0NAatC0 SkCoS.
ROME, June 22.-Italian military
headquarters announced today
widespread program of air and naval
attacks in the Mediterranean area
during which three enemy" ships
had been sunk by submarines and
French bases at Bizerte, Tunisia,
and Marseille on the French coast
had been bombarded heavily.
Italian bombing planes razed the
Marsa Matruh headquarters of the
British high command in Egypt, the
communique asserted.
In addition to the three ships
sunk by torpedoes, direct bomb hits
were made on two cruisers, the
Italians said-one east of the
Balearic islands and the other at
Bizerte.
Enemy action on Tobruk Gibya)
hit squarely a naval infirmary, with
several killed and wounded among
the doctors, nurses and patients. An
enemy plane was shot down by naval
anti-aircraft batteries.
In East Africa, numerous actions
took place on enemy bases of the
port Of Sudan and blockhouses and
fields in Kenya Colony. During an
enemy raid on Diredawa (Ethiopia),
an English plant was shot down.
Several enemy raids on metro.
politan territory, especially in
Northern Italy and Sicily, took place.
Almost all were without results from
the dropping of bombs except at
Cirie, near Turin, and Leghorn,
where houses in the center of the
city were struck without casualties
resulting.
While the French negotiated an
armistice with Germany, there was
no sign here of development Of
armistice negotiations between Italy
and France.
Some Fascist circles suggested that
the same French plenipotentiaries
who conferred with the Germans
might be sent here later to receive
Premier Mussolini's terms.
Meanwhile the Fascist military
forces appeared to be seeing major
activity on the Egyptian-Libyan
frontier, which the newspaper Popolo
di Roma called the nerve center"
OF Italy's far-flung battlefront.
The Fascist press hinted that
British troops attempting to invade
Libya might find the task compli-
Gated by Egyptian politics as well as
Italian resistance
The political situation in Egypt
is in fluid state and surprises may
be many. especially for the English"
said Popolo di Roma. The comment
presumably was inspired by recent
Italian press reports that Egypt is
chaf1ng under operation of the
British-Egyptian military alliance.

King Carol Hastens 10
Remake Politics and
State on Nazi Lines
All Is Forgiven the Iron
Guard; Assossins' Graves
Will Be Marked Now
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BUCHAREST, Rumania, June az.
king Carol cast his lot swiftly
and squarely with Germany today,
beginning formation of a new to-
talitarian party on the Nazi pat
tern and, 1t was reliably reported
drafting DEGREES to turn his country
into state Of the Nazi- Fascist type.
Tonight he will make the first po-
Htical broadcast of his life to tell
his people about his new Party of
the Nation" which will supersede
the present party of National Re-
BIRTH" Its bases will be ma.
uonalistic. Christian and racial"
The Kings decision followed sew
eral audiences in the past "a hours
with the German Minister.
The NaZi Iron Guard will play a
big part in the new setup. The
strong Peasant party, too, will be
In 1t.
Desperate Wooing.
The King consistently and pub
licly has stated that he headed the
movement against the Iron Guard.
But that was before England and
France. which gave Rumania guar
antee Of aid against German inva-
sion, arrived at their present pre-
carious position.
Observers described the Kings
move as desperate effort to make
friends with the Reich and thus
prevent possible partition of his
country. Hungary and Bulgaria,
also moving toward good terms with
Germany, have voiced claims for
boundary revision.
Some foreign observers said
British and French oil possessions
in Rumania might be seized, but the
oil holdings of the United States
were expected to be let alone.
All Is Forgiven.
Anti-Semitism, an Iron Guard
tenet. is expected to receive official
sanction.
Those omcials responsible for
killing Iron Guardists in recent
years" will be punished, an an
nouncement said. Iron Guardists
have been killed en- masse. After
Premier Armand Calinescu was as
sassinated last fall a total of 800
were put to death.
Now there will be monuments for
their graves; until today, even mark
ers were forbidden. There also will
be elaborate, belated funeral services
for the executed men.
All industries, trades and profess
sions will be nationanzed by decree,
it is reliably reported. This will
facilitate the German plan to har-
ness Rumania's resources for its own
economic gain
King Carol frightened his personal
control of the government by naming
Ernest Urdarianu, minister of the
royal palace and chief of the new
totalitarian party. as minister OF
state without portfolio.

industry unless he is q member of

said: Tomorrow Sunday and the

Slowly lsabelle's gaze travelled from
her fathers feet to his face, and
Spencer felt his mouth stretching in
fatuous grin of guilty apology. 81 will

She walked down to kittredge's
Neighborhood Drugstore and was
glad to find none of the crowd in its
favorite haunt She sat alone at the
soda fountain, and consumed two
double matted milks while she strug-
gled vainly to accept life as it was,
and to admit that there was nothing
she could do about it. But it was not
in her nature to admit any such thing,
and by the time she had finished her
lunch she was SO desperate that she
asked old Mr.. kittredge, puttering
at the prescription counter, to charge
the matted milks. She saw no reason
why she should pay for them out Of
her allowance. If she was nothing but
a mere child it was certainly her faith
er's duty to feed her.
lHIS trifling assertiveness made her
feel better about life as it was. She
might be young and have no rights but
she was no worm! With head high she
set out for home, just as the stranger
from Wyoming was stopping his car
with its trailer at a lunch counter on the
outskirts of the town The stranger -
by name, Mr.. Thomas Mccain, COM
monty called Cheyenne" - pushed
his wide -brimmed Stetson back on his
grizzled head. wiped his fiorid face
with a bandana, and ordered barbe-
cued sandwiches and root beer He
was sinking his teeth into the first
sandwich at the moment Isabelle
arrived home.
She slipped around to the back
yard and sat down on the steps of the
screened porch. She sat there for half
an hour, not hearing Mamie noisily
removing the kitchen window screens
in order to clean them; not noticing
Pepper and Ivan when they came trot-
ting down the alley, returning from
some canine engagement. Pepper
rushed to her and she didn't even
speak to him. She didn't even reach
out to pat the doomed Ivan as he lam
guidly loped past her up the steps to
get to Mamie in the kitchen.
She didn't hear or see her father
when he came around the corner of
the house. Spencer saw her. but he
was content to overlook her and go
on to the garage, where Ivan's crate
had been stored. He brought the crate
out to the driveway, and Isabelle
shifted so that she sat facing him.
She would sit here, living reproach,
