further than an expression of SYM
pathy to the Allies, coupled with a
declaration that this country will
not become involved in the war
abroad and another for the strong
est kind of national defense.
William S. Howe of Somerville,
Mass. speaking for former Gov.
John H. Trumbul of Connecticut,
chairman of Region No. l of the
Program Committee, took strong
stand in favor of all aid to the Allies
short of an armed expeditionary
force.
Says Opinion Has Changed.
THAT is positively the opinion of
New England" said Mr.. Howe. THE
United States has never been neu-
trial. It should build up its national
defense"
He pointed out that public opinion
on the war had changed materially
in this country.
Orville Burlington of Texas, di-
= rector for Region 6, agreed with the
statement made by DR.. Frank.
IF we expect to defend the West
ern Hemisphere we must not be
forever trying to tell the Eastern
Hemisphere how to control its af-
fairs" he said.
DR.. Frank, in his statement to the
committee, chided the Roosevelt ad-
ministration for not making better
preparations for national defense
during the last two years.
Mismanagement Charged.
The administration should have
seen the need for greater defense"
he said. THE national leadership
has not recognized the trend in Eu-
rope"
He charged that the handling of
the country's foreign affairs by the
administration has been "grosser
mismanagement than even its ham
ding of the country's domestic
affairs"
It do not believe we should play
politics with the foreign policy of
the United States" he added, 'or
undertake to manufacture an issue
on foreign affairs. I would rather
see the party go down to defeat than
do that. But I do not believe that
the rank and file of the people be-
lieve in the me too idea that has
prevailed"
The Resolutions Committee heard
DR.. Frank and several of his ire
gional" directors who helped to
frame the Program Committee re-
port, submitted to the National Com
mittee last February. They include
Orville Burlington of Texas, Alexan-
der Smith of New Jersey, and Ralph
Flanders of Vermont.
Public Hearings Tomorrow.
The Resolutions Committee, Chair
man Herbert K. Hyde of Oklahoma,
will hold public hearings beginning
tomorrow and running into to-
morrow night. He announced a long
list of organizations and individ-
uals that have requested time. The
National Farmers Union, Ma
tional Grange, National Manufac-
turers' Association; William Green,
president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor: John l.. Lewis, presi-
dent of the c. I. O.; Colored Voters
League, American Medical Associa-
tion: General Welfare Association
of America, various peace societies
and a considerable number of men,
bers Of Congress are among those
who will be given time if they
appear
It is planned, Mr. Hyde said, to
conclude the hearings tomorrow
night, if possible. The time already
allotted will take the committee up

OAK owners can easily avoid prac-
tically all their winter motor
troubles. The recipe has just been
made public in a study prepared by
automotive experts. 1t is the pre-
winter check-up of the cars cooling
system.
Ore of the most serious cold
weather complaints that attack a
cooling system can result, it appears,
from defective hose. Although the
hose looks all right, the lining may
have rotted. As the water races
through, it carries pieces of this rub
Der into the radiator, clogging the
tubes.
Old hose hardens, too, and the con-
nections break. This break will cause
air suction and, of course, the anti
freeze will begin to leak out. Water
mixed with air speeds up rust and
corrosion faster than any other one
factor. All joints and the seams
of the radiator core should also
be checked. Leaks are very tricky
things to find.
Rust and corrosion cut down the
radiators cooling capacity so much
that the engine boils in its "hot
spots.
A thorough check-up and cleaning
Smyrna times., 1940-11-14

of the cooling system is the first step
to be taken. The next one is to use
an anti-freeze that will really keep
rust and corrosion under control. The
most effective inhibitors are more
likely to be found in the permanent
anti-freezes because their inhibitors
have to stand up during an entire
winters driving. They are not added
to from time to time as in the case of
alcohol solutions.
But even a permanent anti-freeze,
the report warns, should be selected
with an eye to getting the utmost in
engineering experience in the COM
bining of an anti-freeze and its inhi-
bitors. One permanent anti-freeze
has a record of successful use in
40,000,000 automobiles.
In installing such a permanent
anti-freeze care must be taken, the
report points out, never to fill the
radiator to the top. Plenty of room
should be allowed for the solution
to expand as it warns up. The en-
gineers advise that when the anti
freeze is first put in the engine
should be run for a few minutes. This
releases trapped air and mixes the
solution thoroughly before the car is
exposed to freezing temperatures.

straight at the tavern, while occa-
sionally a stagecoach clattered
over the cobbles to drop patrons at
its doors.
It was an ideal spot to enlist
men "able to serve to advantage
by sea when required" This was
one of the stipulations made by the
Continental Congress in 1775 when
it authorized the formation of two
battalions of Marines on the day
they observe as their birthday.
All during the Revolution they
performed loyal service on both
land and sea. With the struggle
for independence only a memory,
the Corps was permanently organ
lied in 1898 to follow in succeeding
years the illustrious example set
by its forebears.

Thumbing their way through
their logbook to the date of their
origin, the u. S. Marines turned
back its fading pages to the year
1775, when they passed their 165th
milestone on November 10.
Dimming records reveal that the
Continental Marines gathered in old
Tun Tavern in Philadelphia when
they rallied their members to fight
for the freedom of the colonies.
From this quaint hostelry, now no
longer a landmark, the Marines
sailed forth with rattlesnakes
painted on their drums and with
high hopes in their hearts to win
recruits for the Cause
Those were the days when the
tavern was famous for its broiled
steaks and tankards Of ale, while
sturdy patriots gathered in its up
per rooms to smoke long church
warden pipes and to discuss the
rising tide Of public opinion which
eventually rolled into the over
whelming flood Of the Revolution.

Scores of countries have witness
ed the prowess of the globe-trot-
ting sea soldiers who on nearly 200
occasions have landed on errands

formed every task from chasing
seal poachers in the Bering Sea to
fighting our Nations enemies, or
guarding Americans in distant
lands.
1t is far cry from the creaking
sailing frigates of our first fleet to
the floating fortresses of steel
which now guard our shores
against the assaults of some posi-
bic enemy, for the Marines have
come long way in the intervening
years.
Yet no marine could turn the
pages of the Corps well-filled log

and a heartfelt response to the
words of the sea soldiers hymn,

STAMP PLAN IN
MONDAY
Will Increase Food Purchas-

in New Castle County
$4,000 IN STAMPS ISSUED

Response from persons certified
to participate in the food stamp
plan has been widespread and graf
flying, George o. Fearon, executive
secretary of the Old Age Welfare
Commission and director of the
plan in Wilmington, said last week.
He sold the first book of stamps
when the Office at Fourth and West
Streets, Wilmington, opened at 8
o'clock Monday morning. Persons
eligible to buy the orange and blue
stamps that will increase their food
purchasing power by so per cent
will have to come, or send a desig-
mated agent, to the stamp offices at
least at the beginning of the plan,
Mr.. Fearon said. Subsequently, he
indicated, mobile units would be
set up to enable persons residing in
rural New Castle County to pur-
chase stamps at, specified time
and place from the assistant cash
ier. Mr.. Fearon said it was likely
these rural county distributing
places would be at Delaware City,
New Castle, Newark, and Middle
town. Persons living near enough
to the city would still be able to
go in to the offices, and persons in
rural sections could do what was
more convenient.

Mayor Thomas H. Carpenter of
Lewes disclosed Thursday night
that U. S. army engineers have
been negotiating with town offic-
ials for extensive acreage on Cape
Henlopen as a site for an army
post for coastal defense. The
mayor said the engineers were in
quiring about various sites now un-
der lease by private industries, in
cluding the Cape Henlopen Sand
Company and the Lewes Sand
Company, with view to making
proper compensation in the event
the sites are taken over by the
government. The area considered
and already surveyed for the post,
he said, covers from 300 to 400
acres slightly east of the town, in
Guiding the great dune of the Cape,
and extending from the Lewes
Coast Guard station easterly to-
ward the ocean front. The new
Belhaven Surf Club on the point is
also being negotiated for, accord
ing to the manager, Stephen
Pierce. The industries and the
club owners lease these sites from
the town of Lewes. The mayor
added that he understands the sites
Of the two large menhaden fish
plants, the Consolidated Fisheries
and the Fish Products Company,

said he was told the proposed en-
campment would be for the 219th

Artillery from Fort Hancock, n. J..
encamped there for experimental
test firing in the early summer Of
1888 and named it Camp Samuel 3.
