War Secretary Stimson made
two important statements in his
official appearance. He backed
the amendment providing for
registration of American males
from 81 to 81 rather than the
original scheme of listing every
body between the ages of is and
"a. But then he spread upon the
record his belief that the United
States stood in imminent dan
ger of a military attack by Hit
Ter. He intimated that, in his
opinion. der fuehrer might con-
quer England within 30 days, and
then attack America.
If true, that is the biggest news
in 100 years. 1t should have been
the lead and the headline of all
stories from the committees
session. But. instead of high
lighting that lugubrious predic-
ton. the newspapers preferred to
emphasize the rather unimport-
ant change in the conscription bill
proposed by Uncle Henry"
Both President Roosevelt and
Secretary Stimson, in recent
speeches and interviews, have
tried TO alright the country with
the threat that an attack upon
the western hemisphere by Hitler
is imminent. As this column has
frequently forecast. FDR hopes
to win reelection by stirring up
a spirit of hysteria based on the
possibility of an invasion of the
United States by der fuehrer's
forces.
Our army and navy experts
privately scott at FDR's and
Stimson's alarums. Even grant
ing that Hitler eonquers England,
ne will suffer so severely that he
will be in no condition for addi-
tional conquest of a nation 5000
miles away. He also realizes
that If nc sends his army and
navy against the western hemi-
sphere, Joe Stain will seize that
moment TO attack Germany from
the rear. Hitler might like to re-
venge himself on the u. s be-
cause Of FDR's pro-ally policies,
but he does not dare to cross the
seas. That is the information
which has been relsyed TO Wash
ington by the intelligence serv-
ices Of our army. navy and state
department.
But il suits Roosevelt in his
reelection campaign 10 envisage
an invasion of the United States
If and when Hitler conquers
England And Stimson, as
Rooseveltian soldier and an An
glophile. is only too happy TO
back up this theory. But the
congress distrusts both the pres
ident and the secretary of war,
and viii never give them the
authority they want for plung-
ing this country into war.

ANOTHER ATTEMPT WILL BE
MADE TO RECOVER BODY OF
MINER In HARDSHELL SHAFT
American Smelling & Refining Company Ordered BY
State Mine Inspector To Pump Shaft Dry, If
Possible; Body In Shaft Since March II

is leasing the Hardshell to supply
water for the firms Trench mine,
a mile and a half from the Hard
shell, IL miles east of Patagonia,
have been ordered by the state mine
inspectors office to pump the shaft
dry, if possible, Malley said Work
is expected to start Immediately.
The step was ordered after Malley
had forwarded a detailed report
covering every phase of past efforts
to recover the body, and recon-
mending that the water be pumped
out.
Graphing hooks were first used in
an attempt to locate the body, but
old pieces of timber and metal were
all the hooks raised to the surface
of the water which stands 100 feet
deep in the shaft.
The company contracted with two
deep sea divers from the Pacific
coast-Harry Fuse and c. J. An
derson-who spent two days in a
fruitless effort.
The divers, however, did report
that an opening was found at the
bottom Of the shaft leading into a.
drift, and through which the body
might easily have passed. They de-
cided that to attempt to dive into
that opening however, would be 90
hazardous, and left for San Fran
cisco at the end of the second day
of their operations.
The divers said they could see
clearly under the water, all the way
to the bottom, with the aid of
powerful, specially constructed light
for underwater use. They were con-
vinced the body drifted through the
opening at the bottom of the shaft,
leading to a drift.

More than 5000 persons employed

be dropped between now and June

Edwards, District w. P. A. director
He said the reduction would be in
line with the practice of maintain
ing peak w. P. A. loads in the win

lessening of the number during the
summer, plus the fact that budget
limitations p1uSt be met.
The District had some II, 800 per-
sons on the w. P. A. rolls and some
have been dropped in the past two
weeks. Mr.. Edwards said he be-
lieved it would be necessary to re-
duce the rolls to roughly 5000 by

would be given two weeks notice
whenever possible so that their dis

LONDON, March ia demand
for a formal debate on Britain s
whole conduct of the war" came
from Leslie Hore-Belisha, recently
dismissed war minister, as he made
bitter attack on the government in
the House of Commons today in a
stormy debate on Finlands capitula-
ton to Soviet Russia.
Mr.. Hore- -Belisha, whose custer
last January never was fully ex-
planned, but who is known to have
advocated dispatch of British
expeditionary force to Finland be-
fore he left Office, asserted that
British refusal to supply more help
was based on "a pure technicality.
Prime Minister Chamberlain de-
clined to say Immediately whether
the proposed full dress debate would
be allowed, but trustworthy unofh-
cial sources said such debate
would be held March 10, at which
Mr.. Chamberlain would present a
general war review and reply to
questions of an aroused House.
Resistance Praised.
Mr.. Hore-Belisha entered today s
discussion after Mr.. Chamberlain
had praised Finnish resistance and
both labor and liberal leaders joined
in expressing admiration for the
Firms and deploring what they
called another triumph for aggres-
sion.
rs it not pity, in relation to
the magnitude of these events and
of their far-reaching character, to
plead as an excuse for inaction q
