WASHINGTON, March l8.-De- spite all this talk about the gloomy prospects for American youth of today, every community still has a generous assortment of old fashioned proud papas. who view their bright boys as potential Pres idents.
 We've encountered relatively few parents, however, who envision their sapient sons as Justices of the Su- preme Court Perhaps something ought to be done to stimulate that ambition.
 First of all a promising young ster's chances for reaching the high court are statistically 6 to 1 bet ter than his prospects for going to the White House Second, the public esteem for a justice often is equal to-and sometimes greater than-that accorded a Chief Execu- tive. Third, Supreme Court post is just about the incest of all the nice jobs in Washington.
 It's a good bet that some of the current justices are weighing the prerequisites of their posts right now

 Gangs of Russian workmen were set to work immediately repairing the damage to the Viipuri power station and electric transmission lines. Telephone service between Viipuri and Leningrad has been re- established and the railway line repaired.
 The first train from Leningrad arrived today, bringing Russian civ- ilian officials. doctors, engineers and mechanics to begin the work of restoring the once thriving sea- port and industrial center.

English Newspapers 0ues- lion Effectiveness
 of Air Force
(By Associated Press)

Heavy German attacks on Great Britain's Scapa Flow, British naval anchorage, were made late last Sat- urday according to both Berlin and London war statements.
 The British announce that one battleship was damaged but the Germans claim three battleships and che cruiser were damaged severely.
 One Bomber Shot Down
 The fact that only one German air bomber was shot down during the raid on Scapa Flow prompted British newspapers today to ques- tion the effectiveness of the Royal Air Forces.
 More than 100 high explosive and incendiary bombs were showered down by the Nazi raiders on Scapa Flow and the nearby islands.
 British Statement
 The British statement says only minor damage was done to naval craft but the Admiralty later stated seven naval casualties occurred.
 Civilian Killed
 It is also announced that one civilian, James Isbister, standing in the doorway of cottage near Strcmness airfield, was killed by a Nazi bomb explosion.
 Berlin Elated
 Berlin is elated at the air raid engaged in byyoung Nazi fliers who said they could not definitely tell what warships hits were scored on but they believed the British ves- sels Hood, Renown and Repulse were badly damaged by bombs dropped.

He was counsel for the Lockwood leg islative committee, created in 1918 to curb postwar business evils; of the congressional committee which investigated fraud in war supply purchases, and the "Pujo money trust" committee which in 1912 found reasons for framing consid- erable legislation dealing with banks and banking.

 INFORMATION ON TALK
 ROME, March l8-It is unoffici- ally announced tonight that tho main features of the plan discussed by Hitler and Mussolini at their cordial conference provide for a new offer to the Western Allies for the settlement of the war through a general conference in which the belligerents and neu- trals will participate.
 The purpose of this conference is to readjust political and economic relations with special regard to se- curity and access to supplies of raw materials and markets.
 Another plan would be presented on the familiar Nazi "or else" basis. that is, accept the plan or else face totalitarian war.
 Another proposal is that Italy would declare her vital interest in the Balkans and the eastern Med- iterranean region with the implied threat she would join Germany in the war in the event of any at tempt to extend the war to that part of Europe.
 RusSias interest in the Black Sea region would also be stressed to emphasize threat from that quarter.
