that there is not quite enough. Their
theory is that we are in danger Of
adopting many oppressive wartime
standards, in 4 period Of extreme
stress, which we may find difficult
to relax later on as normality re-
turns.
Trfling manifestations Of intol-
GRANGE also are developing III Varl-
Gus parts of the country.
For example, riots occurred in
several localities in Texas 4 few
days ago due to the refusal Of local
RELIGIOUS Sects to salute the Amcri-
can flag and a considerable number
.of these cultiStS were jailed, though
probably rather for their own pro-
lection than to stand trial on amy
definite charge against them.
There seems to be no implication
that these folks were pro-totalltarl-
an or that they were affiliated with
any foreign organization. They SIM
ply were pacilistic to the extent OF
being rather queer Doubtless their
refusal to salute the flag was an eX-
hibition of bad taste. However, muD-
cling such an aggregation Of harm
less cranks was a rather humorless
performance, too.
Queer Little Cults
There are Holy Rollers" "Jeho-
vas Witnesses" and similar denomi-
nations thinly scattered throughout
most of the United States. Pcnnsyl-
yania's Mennonites also are some
what peculiar.
But they all are about as little
danger to our government as any
thing it's easy to imagine.

tremendous anti-aircraft fire and
then lodging again into the clouds.
Sylt is considered the jumplng-off

which have repeatedly punished

TO ASK AUTHORIZATION

TO ASK AUTHORIZATION
WASHINGTON, March 19.-UP-
Congressional authorization for a
list of urgent" navigation projects
will be asked by the senate COM
merce committee.
After receiving a report that
President Roosevelt questioned the
advisability of an omnibus water
way bill of any sort at this session,
the committee decided today to at.
tempt settlement of the question
through a measure of reasonable
terms"
Chairman Bailey (D.-N. c. was
instructed by unanimous vote to
consult army engineers and then,
with the help of Senator Sheppard
(D.-Tex.l to write a small authorize
ton bill for committee action next
Tuesday.
No Flood Control
It would include no flood control,
power, or multiple.purpose projects.
Bailey said consideration of all items
except navigation improvements was
postponed.
,As passed by the house last year,
the authorization bill for rivers
harbors invol 7ed a total of only
$50, 000, 900. Adding a long list Of
projects, including several big de-
velopments, the senate commerce
committee swelled the total author
ization to $412, 900, 900.
When it became apparent that a
bill for such proportions had little
or no chance Of approval, the SEN
ate group sent a subcommittee to
the White House for a discussion
of the problem with President
Roosevelt.
The occasion Of today's meeting
was to receive the report on Mr..
Roosevelt's attitude.
Bailey said he hoped to prepare
a bill so modest that it would win
the Presidents approval. He stated
no upper limit, explaining the COM

there was an %incessant roar of anti
aircraft guns.
The first eyewitness account came
from a restaurant keeper who told
the Copenhagen newspaper Polit-
ken:
IT saw two foreign planes come
diving down through the clouds
with crazy speed in the direction Of
Sylt. They dropped eight bombs.
l saw great pillars of fire.
Later I heard an explosion from
a single bomb and a few seconds
afterwards an explosion came which
changed the sky over Sylt into a sea
of fire. There was one explosion
after another.
"a bomb undoubtedly hit an am
munition depot.
"All the anti-aircraft Of Sylt then
opened up; tracer bullets streaked
across the heavens in all direc.
tions, in a dazzling array of varied
colors.
"A wall of fire sprang up along
the whole of the long island.
Shortly after this a plane came
flying low over our heads on Ro-
moe island. 1t turned westward and
flew rather uncertainty as if it
might have been hit"
One terrific explosion shook Ton
der.
The raids continued even after
this t~hunderous blast and at 8:45
p. m. Romeo observers reported
an apparent second attack on the
south end of Sylt. The explosions
of ten bombs were heard in this
direction.
The Danish island on which Ro-
moe is located is less than five
miles from the north end Of Sylt.
Hornum, raided base at the south
end of Sylt, is Is miles away, and

German air base at Hornum on the
Island of Sylt. This is one of the
shore bases from which German air.
craft operate against our naval for
ces and merchant shipping. This &C
ton follows the attack upon our
shore bases in the Orkneys."
Plane Shot Down
ID. N. B., the German official
news agency, reported in Berlin that
the British attempted three raids on
Sylt and that one of the raiding
planes was shot down after causing
no damage other than setting fire
to a house. The raids, D. N. B. said,
were at 7:57 p. M, 9:16 p, M, and
1858 p n.y.
Reports from Copenhagen said the
British bombers first appeared over
the German island about s p. m. e

ects, approved them and sent them
to congress. The house, Of repre-
sentatives has passed the bill and
there is nothing more we can do
until it is passed by the senate and
money is appropriated for the
work.
Leaves way Open
However, despite this outlook,
Senator Bailey's proposal leaves the
way open for adoption of an i'm
masculated rivers and harbors bill
that at the same time will allow
the work wanted by Wilmington to
be carried out.
Senator Bailey's letter to Louis
7. Moore, of the chamber Of com.
merce, yesterday, read in part as
follows:
L will be glad to do what T can
for the projects mentioned (the
Northeast and Cape Fear river
%projects). A great many projects
of similar character have been ap
proved but if 1 add the North Caro-
lima projects to the pending bill il
will open the doors for projects
throughout the country. We have
now about $3.50, 600, 900 of projects
on our hands and this fact is max
ing it difficult for us to get any
Legislation whatever.
"A policy of patience in these
matters is absolutely necessary
now. I am trying to work the mat,
ter out and I am hoping that we
can get through a bill that will
provide for small projects costing
less than $4,000, 900. Unfortunately
the President does not like this
plan and is disposed to advise us
not to undertake a bill at this ses.

final. l am working on this matter
with all diligence and 1 hope 1 can
bring about a settlement satisfac'
