Two Others Also
Held Seriously
Hurt by Bombs
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, April 17.-DNB, Off
cial German news agency, today
described an air attack of the
Norwegian western coast in
which one British cruiser was
sunk by a direct bomb hit and
two other cruisers were seriously
damaged by German bombs.
Augmenting an earlier report (and
apparently describing an action of
yesterday, DNB said the cruiser
which sank was hit by bomb of the
heaviest caliber and went down i'm
mediately.
The agency said the other two
cruisers were hit altogether by three
heavy caliber bombs and such seri-
GUS destruction was wrought that
presumably the ships will not be
able to return to British harbors.
The DNB report apparently am
plified a passage in today's high
command communique which re-
ported the sinking of a British
cruiser and a British submarine in
an air attack off Mold Fjord.
Destroyers Also Sunk.
Earlier Germany officially re-
ported that British battleship was
hit squarely by heaviest-type air
bomb, a destroyer was sunk and a
transport ship also was struck in an
aerial attack.
DNB said that full de-
tails Of aerial blows in a
German attack on British naval
forces off the Norwegian southwest
coast still were to be learned.
The report followed upon a Ger
man high command communique
announcing the sinking of a de-
stroyer.
1t used much the same language
to describe the air attack on the
Dattleship (SchlachtschifD as the
communique had in reporting the
transport struck-"hit squarely by
the heaviest caliber air bombs"
The battleship was said to have
been attacked on the Norwegian
southwest coast and the transport
on the central coast. The high COM
mand said German warplanes recon-
noitered yesterday over the central
and northern North Sea as we'll as
along the west coast of Norway.
Successes Enumerated.
The communique enumerated
these successes for the German ex-
peditionary forces:
/. The sinking of a British de-
stroyer of the Tribal class by a
submarine northeast of the Shet-
land Islands.
2. A large transport ship "hit
squarely by the heaviest caliber air
bombs"
3. Norwegian forces in the north
routed by Germans taking control
of the ore-carrying railroad from
Narvik east to the Swedish border
Authorized sources insisted Narvik
still was in German hands despite
a heavy British bombardment re-
ported by the high command.
4. The German Navy covered the
transport of personnel and ma
terial reinforcement" to Norwegian
ports.
S. Forces ashore broadened the
occupied area, developed coastal de-
fenses and fully prepared" fortifi-
cations for defense of OSLO
The British destroyer reported
sunk is of the same class as the
Cossack, which Germans said was
set afire and left stranded in a bat
tie at Narvik Saturday. Altogether
Britain had 16 of this class.
DNB announced that the latest

Arizona has SO many characteris-
tic plans that we are never greatly
surprised when we hear about an
other one. So when someone calls
our attention to a very Weird-ap-
pearing tree, growing on the rocky
banks of a shallow water course, we
look forward to a closer view which
will show us how perseverance can
overcome seemingly insurmountable
obstacles.
Asa Gray was quite intrigued by
the elephant tree and gave it the
scientific name, BurSera micro
phylla. The Bursera part is for
Joachim Burser, who made a deep
study of these trees; later botanists
decided the name Elaphrium would
be more correct. While some of the

cess of its life adjusts itself to the
arid condition of Arizona soil.
Therefore, less effort has been spent
in developing leaves. which, OF
course, would soon dissipate valu-
able moisture, and instead, many
trunks have taken their place in the
scheme of meeting present situa-
tions. These can take care of the
water problem-by retaining mois-
ture rather than giving it out.
Elephant trees do not grow to be
very high, but they have wide
spread. Few trees are more than Is
feet in height but they may be 25
feet in width. The trunks are very
thick, many of them having a cir
cumference of almost feet, few
slightly more, and the branches are
10 to II inches thick.
What is perhaps as interesting as
anything else about this tree is the
beautiful texture of the parchment

Pre-MaritaI Examinations

The Progressive Citizens Associa-
ton of Congress Heights went on
record last night favoring pre-
marital examinations. In making
the motion Frank H MaXey said the
slight delay caused by such an eX-
animation might save many couples
from grave mistakes.
Mr. Maxey sponsored another mo-
tion for a committee to map out
q definite plan and the approxi-
mate cost of obtaining property
covenants for the Congress Heights
area. The committee is to be ap-
pointed and make its report at the
next meeting.

Commissioners to submit to the

sufficient funds to equip the play

The flowers are polygamous. That

They have small calyx which is
four to five lobed and remains on
the tree for some time. Later the
seed cones appear in their place.
They resemble blueberries in size,
shape, and even in color. When the
seeds are mature, the cone splits into
thirds, revealing in each valve
golden seed. Each seed baby will
eventually drop to the earth, where

Police Ambulance
For Traffic Cases

A Police Department ambulance

"emergency squad" system of check
Ing traffic accidents was asked at
the meeting last night of the Pro-
gressive Citizens Association of
Georgetown and, although the mo-
tion by William Caesar received no
second, the matter was referred to
committee for closer study and re-
port at the next meeting.
Mr.. Caesar, citing several recent
Incidents whereby hospital ambu-
iances have failed to respond
promptly to accident calls. declared
that such vehicles, operated by the
police expressly for traffic victims,
would be the only satisfactory solu-
tion to immediate aid.
Another Solution Suggestion.
Miss Mildred Dean, president of
the group, urged coordination of
regular hospital ambulance services
as the most effective solution.
The association authorized COM
mittee investigation into the posi-
bility of relocating No. Truck and
Fire Engine Company from Thirty
fourth street and Dent place NV.
to the site at 1912 M street NV.
Members declared that the latter
location, being in commercial
area, Is more appropriate than the
residential section. Mr. Clinton
Ward said the Dent place fire ap-
paratus imperils children and re-
duces property values in that Sec
ton by excessive noise.
Corporation Counsel ElWood H
Seals opposition to the Police De-
partment practice of requiring per-
sons whose property has been stolen
and later sold to pawn brokers to
pay such dealers in order to recover
their property was indorsed.
Assessment Study Authorized.
On the recommendation by Mrs.
Elizabeth Sullivan. chairman of the
Legislative Committee. the Progress
sives authorized committee study of
the proposed new radio station
WINK with a view to supporting
the enterprise. Tentative plans of
the station include regular round
table discussions of local civic af-
fairs. A charge, made by Mrs. Carl
Stodder, that excessive assess
ments are contemplated against
property owners on Wisconsin ave-
nue. NV. between R street and
Mount Alto Hospital was referred
to committee Mrs. Stodder de-
clared that since the thoroughfare
is to be widened only on the east
side and that property along the
west side is being equally assessed,
owners of the latter property will
pay without receiving benefits.
The new slate of officers for the
season follows: Mrs. Harry Leroy
Jones, president; Mrs. Joseph God
man, first vice president; George
Howe. second vice president; Rich
ard Harkness, third vice president,
Miss Ann r. Kelliher, recording sec
retary; Miss Nora Lee Orndorff,
corresponding secretary; Miss Edna
Ladson, treasurer: Mrs. Sullivan
and Mrs. Elizabeth Draper, delegates
to the federation.
