Pepper Would Allow

Bill Gives President
Discretion in Transfer
Of Any Ships, Ports
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

A resolution to authorize Presi-
dent Roosevelt to sell part of this
country's air force to the allies at
once was offered in the Senate today
ny Senator Pepper, Democrat, Of
Florida as that body began debate
on the new defense program.
Calling attention to the critical
position In which the democracies
f1nd themselves on the western
front, Senator Pepper declared "the
best way to insure our own defense
is to see that Hitlerism does not
dominate the world"
Senator Minton, Democrat, of In
diana interrupted to say the Presi-
dent already has authority to per-
NIT the allies to purchase planes IN
process at construction in this coun-
try. Senator Pepper said he realized
that, but explained his proposal
would let Mr.. Roosevelt send them
planes already part of the Amer
ican Army and Naval Air Force.
He offered it as a move to help
stem the tide of barbarism," he
said.
Bill Sent to Committee.
His resolution, which was sent to
the Foreign Relations Committee,
reads:
BE it resolved by the Senate and
House Of Representatives in Con-
gress assembled, that the President
be authorized to sell and deliver

WITH THE GERMAN WESTERN
ARMIES, May 21.-The famous Elf
fel Tower of Paris was clearly visible
to the advance guards of Adolf Hit
ler's forward-dashing army this
morning, but it was by no means
certain that the Fuehrer would en-
deavor to capture the French capital
in a hurry.
He seemed more concerned with
routing Belgian, French and English
troops headed for the French coast
of the English Channel.
No less man than Gen. Walther
Won Reichenau, commander of the
9th Army, was selected to perform
this task.
Yet even Gen. Won Reichenau

BERLIN, May 21.-In a lightning
break through, the Nazis declared
today that they had stormed to
within II miles OF the English
Channel while their vanguards on
- the southern front pushed within
sight of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The Germans reported these sue
cesses:
l. Capture of Abbeville, Amiens
and Arras in the drive toward the
English Channel
2. Crushing OF Frances 9th Army
and the capture of French COM
mander, Gen. Giraud, with his staff
3. Elimination of the last allied
resistance in Rethel the capture OF
Laon and an advance to the Aisne-
Oise Canal on the southern edge of
the bulge" in Northern France
a. Capture of the last fort in Bel
gums Namur Notifications, attacks
east of Ghent and Illustration of an
'enemy attempt to force way out
southwark from Valenciennes."
S. Heavy damage by air attack to
transports, merchantmen and war
vessels on the French Belgian coast;
bomb hits on a British battleship
and heavy cruiser off the Norwegian
coast.
Allies Appear to Be Cut Off.
The racing plunge to Abbeville
about midway between the French
Channel ports of Dieppe and Bou-
logne, was said by Nazis to have
put Adolf Hitler's army in position
for battle which might bring de-
struction to the British expendition
in France, as we'll as to a large
segment of the Belgian-French de-
fenses.
Opposing the German march
Nazis have estimated, are about
100000 British, 25O,000 Belgians ano
100000 French troops.
In the drive westward, called by
the Germans march of unprece-
dented magnitude, the Nazi armies
apparently had succeeded in cutting
off the mass of allied troops fighting
for the past IL days on Belgian
soil.
They said the developments of the
past "a hours-apparently carrying
the Nazis farther at some points
than the German armies pushed
throughout the World War-indi-
Gated the allies were on the verge oi
paralyzing losses in Belgium ano
Northern France.
The Germans seemed confident
that they had bottled up the whole
British expeditionary force.
Acidly. these sources asserted tina
the English were fleeing to the chan.
mel ports to embark for home "ir

British Isles are invincible."
In the dozen days since crossing

mans have raced total Of 240 miles
first toward Paris and then in {

Their speed averages about 20 mile.

It's High Compliment
To Glue Her Lingerie
BY AMY PORTER
APP Feature Service Writer

Probably every woman IN the
world cherishes a Cinderella dream
of herself in a pretty boudoir, sur
rounded on all sides by satin and
lace and fat perfume bottles. She
sees herself wearing the frothiest
lingerie, the most exquisite negll-
gees.
But pretty lingerie usually is the
last thing the well-budgeted wo-
man will buy for herself. Her old
bathrobe is still good enough.
You, in a Christmasy mood, can
pay such a lady a nice compli-
ment with a gift of dainty lingerie.
Pretty lingerie is offered in album
dance this year, in spite of the
fact that no more lace is i'm
ported from France. Domestic
lace-makers have b e e n working
overtime.
Lace is used in new ways. Some
times it forms the entire front
of a negligee, sometimes it forms
the belt, sometimes it's pleated
in a straight yoke across the bos-
om.
Any woman would love a lace
laden negligee, made of pastel sat-
in, dark velvet, or flowy chiffon.
Panty and bra sets aren't much
favored except by very young girls,
but a well-cut slip, or petticoat,
day or evening length, is always
a good gift. Long-sleeved night
gowns are popular, and so r
plain satin gowns with some
French phrase-"Bon Mutt" ''Vive'

The doll is doing her dance again

War and clever new toys have
failed to eclipse the star of Ameri-
can children's Christmas celebra-
ton.
Last year more than $40, 600, 900
was spent for some Is, 600, 900 dolls
in this country.
The toy trade doesn't worry
about age-limits of those who show
affection for dolls. A four-month-
old baby pays attention to a rag
doll. And a very grown-up lady
sometimes puts in q request for a
costume or character doll.
But the trade has to be alert to
preferences. Neither mothers nor
strong promotion schemes can win
the will of a girl who says, But
I want a baby doll"
The 1910 preferences are for dolls
that look like real babies, feel like
real babies and have clothes simil-
ar to those little brother wears.
The newest are magic skin"
dolls made of a new plastic formu-
la that allows them to be bathed,
dolls with magnetic hands and
dolls sprayed with a safe and
washable substance to make them

interested in the new Superman
doll and in Baby Dumping.
Next to having a special and
f~avorite doll, every little girl wants
a doll house. If there is a family
of tiny movable dolls to live in
it, it is perfect.
For the girl who collects dolls,
there are several new additions
this year: a nanny doll with a
trousseau, Chinese dolls in native
costumes, and Pan-American dolls.
These are all inexpensive. l
