Strange Tales of the Deep

Home guards, listening to old
sea dogs spinning their yarns
are prone to laugh ~discreetyl
up their sleeves and relate
such stories to the realm of fic-
ton. Yet these yarns often are
the sober truth. The archives of
the photographic office in
Washington contain stories that
even though written in a dry
as-dust manner, often tax the
credulity of the most credulous.
Fate and the sea play many
strange tricks with ships and
men. Sometimes a crew is found
and the ship is lost, sometimes
the ship is found but the crew
vanished without a trace; some
times both ship and crew dis
appear, and again both ship and
crew return to startle the world
that has long considered them
resting on the bottom of the
everlasting sea.

A plea for the return to the old
street names Of Georgetown was
made by Mr.. Garland.
He was supported by John n.
Ihlder, executive officer Of the Alley

that the association do something

association erect small street signs
giving old street names alongside

said that the association would have

Old Car Barn Lof
Urged as Playground
For Georgetown
Citizens Association
Asks Committee to-
Pursue Proposal

Legislation that wound permit the
District to buy for . playground the
land near the p Street Bridge
(N.W). where the old car barns
stood, was recommended by the
Georgetown Citizens' Association.
last night In st. Johns Parish Hall.
The association, after q careful
survey Of playground conditions In
the Georgetown area, advocated the
site for use by the Georgetown
branch Of the Boys Club OF America
and by children living in the neigh
borhood. William S. Conant, in re-
porting on the investigation of the
Legislative Committee, stated that
there was not q suitable playground
IN Georgetown to care for the large
number of children and that the site
was secluded enough to avoid any
complaint of noise. The associa-
ton unanimously adopted the sug-.
gestion and advised the committee
to continue its efforts.
Traffic lights at the District end
Of Key Bridge were criticized by
B. A. Bowles, who declared they
endangered pedestrians. The prob
lem was referred to the Trafic
Committee.
John G. Garland requested the
association to table letter from the
Washington Federation of Churches
arguing for dispensary system for
liquor in the District. Mr.. Garland
said the proposal was opposed by
the Commercial Interests Commit
tee purely on the grounds that re-
moval Of present liquor stores would
hurt small businessmen and would
be putting the government into
business In the District. The asso-
citation adopted the proposal to table
the letter, but advised the commit
tee to continue its study of the
question.

'Wants Authority 10 Call New Forces Into AC-
 five Service

WASHINGTON, May 31.-presi- dent Roosevelt today submitted to Congress a supplementary emergency program involving lover a billion dollars" and he asked action with out delay.
 The message to the legislators said this latest enlargement of tn de- fense program is necessitated because of almost incredible events" in the past two weeks in Europe's war par .ticularly as result of the use of aviation and mechanized equip ment."
 No mention is made of a specific sum and no breakdown given for the appropriation, the new program details being left to representatives of the War and Navy Departments and other government agencies.
 In a special defense message, the second in fifteen days, the Presi- dent said: "As long as the possi- bility exists that all continents may become involved in world wide war, reasonable precaution demands that American defense be made more certain"
 The President made one specific recommendation to Congress. asking it to grant him the authority to call the National Guard, Reserves and the Personnel Defense forces into active service.

-I. I. N. Radiophoto

STOCKHOLM, May 3l.-British and French units who fled from the bloody battlefields of Flanders were welcomed at the coast of En- gland today with great jubilation according to Friday afternoon re- ports reaching Stockholm from London.
 The colorful account of the evac- uation by an eye witness correspon- dent of the Swedish military news paper Aftornbladet, declares that all of the soldiers are extremely worn and exhausted.
 Lack of food during the past weeks showed plainly on their hol- lowed faces and deep set eyes.
 The eye witness of the Swedish paper relates that many were so exhausted that they had to be carried from the transports to land on stretchers although they were not wounded.
 Many of the troop transport ships had blood on their decks as they had been exposed to heavy German air attacks. The scale oi the British flight becomes evident the correspondent says, from the fact that an enormous number Of ships of all sizes are being en- ployed for carrying the British and French to England
 The long chain of ships stretch ing across the English Channel to- day looked from the air like a mighty pontoon bridge thrown across the sea.
 Removal of fighting units of the Western Powers from Belgium is being completed. The correspondent quotes from statements made by British soldiers from Belgium. Ont officer for instance is reported te have declared "Detonations oi German bombs were terrific. They dropped onto our positions with mathematical precision"
 Another said: We had to fight our way step by step through te the coast. When we reached the coast long lines of Allied warships were outside channel ports witt orders to take us on board. At the same time overhead in the ail fierce battles were being fought between German bombers and oul fighters. One of our troop trans port ships was so crowded witt soldiers that men had to stanc shoulder to shoulder and could not move. Most of us became deal for hours as the terrific thunder of cannon and bomb explosion. threatened to burst our ear drums.
 This correspondent had severa British soldiers confirm to hin that German air force planes sue.

 Incident in London
tBY ASSOCIATED PREss)

Italy's entrance into the Euro pean war is generally considered imminent in many official circles tonight.
 Observers on the western front state definite moves being made give ample indication of such &C., ton.
 Italian journalists have been told to quit Paris and it is also stated that all Italian correspondents in London are to be called home im- mediately. The Italian newsmen in London today remained away from the daily conference at the Brit ish War and Foreign offices, the first time they had failed to att tend since the strained relations which developed at the time of the Ethiopian conquest.
 In London, authoritative circles said Italy has strongly intimated that the British-Italian negotiations over contraband control involving the Mediterranean, have been broken off and this gives more in dications regarding entrance into the war.
 A dispatch from Berlin declares that Hitler, at his headquarters near the Western Front. today re- ceived Italy's new Ambassador, Dino Alfieri. German Foreign Minister von Ribbentrop was also present at the conference.
 In Washington, reports that Pre- mier Benito Mussolini has told Pres ident Roosevelt Italy intended to keep her pledges and aid Germany, are neither confirmed nor are they denied.
 White House Secretary Stephen Early said that he could only re- peat there has been almost "con- tinual correspondence carried on between President Roosevelt and heads of other Governments.

WASHINGTON, May 31. = To hint at the collapse of a nation even if that nation should be one whoses acts you don't like-is 99 times out of 100 more wish than thinking
 Nations just oont go busI-poof, like that. Remember only few short years ago, economists were writing about the sour predicament Of Germany. Now she's waging a war, the cost of which would black out the most vivid imaginations.
 This is all by way of cautious prelude, because Washington is hearing that Japan is in bad way. I don't argue that it is not. I just mean that if you are a Japanese sympathizer don't go committing hari-kari-or if you are anti-Nipponese, don't start holding any joyful wakes.
 The facts are pretty simple The three-year Chinese interlude has been costly. The cost of living has skyrocketed.
