construction of all ships in the re-

the next two years. adding that was
'all the navy can handle in that
time with existing facilities" Some
committeeman called the curtail'
ment shadow boxing" because the
navy still would be able to build
just as many ships in the two-yeal
period as it had planned under the
larger program which was designed
for completion in five years.
Three aircraft carriers, larger thar
any built specifically for that work
were included in the revised pro
gram together with an unspecifiet
number Of cruisers and submarines
Because Of secrecy regarding tn,
size Of the latter craft, only tota

It was understood, however, SOM
of the cruisers would be substantial

For them life goes on. Instead of
a government or q nation, each
represents a symbol-national free
dom-and hope-national freedom
again.
In the United States, however, are
two from the diplomatic fraternity
who represent little more than lost
hope.
Two Have Abandoned Diplomacy.
Teaching at Georgetown Uni
versity is Dr. Edgar L. G. Prochnik,
the first, last and only Minister of
the defunct Austrian Republic to
the United States. He resigned from
diplomacy even though the United
States has never yet recognized the
putsch which made Austria a part
of the Third Reich.
Teaching at the university of
Exiles" in New York is DR.. Don
Fernando de los Rios, the Ambassa-
dor Of the pre-Franco Spanish Re-
public. When Franco won the Span
ish civil war, and the United States
recognized the generals regime, DR..
de los Rios departed from the En-
bassy on Sixteenth street. Neither
he nor DR.. Prochnik will return to
their countries so long as the politics
OF the day are in effect. But neither
is diplomat.
But the other six have things
diplomatic to do. They consult at
the State Department. Most of them
have at least theoretical govern
ments to communicate with. The
capital of symbolic Poland is Anglers,
France. The capital of symbolic
Belgium is LIE Havre, France. The
capital of symbolic Holland is Lon
don. Where is the capital of Nor
way? Perhaps Minister de Morgen-
stierne knows. He hears from his
monarch, King Haakon, through the
Morse Legation in London. The
capital of Denmark is still Copen-
hagen. but it is Copenhagen with
a German master. Minister de
Kaufman is his own agent. So
is Vladimir Hurban, who works un-
ceasingly toward the resurrection of
q Czech state.

Water Front Census
Count to Be Made

Using a Coast Guard boat, census
enumerators will count Washing
tons water front and river popula-
ton tomorrow, Garnett Brown, CEN
sus area manager for the District,
announced yesterday. The Police
Department has estimated that be-
tween $50 and 200 persons, both white
and colored, make their homes along
the Potomac River, between George
town and Anacostia. Some live in
shacks along the shore, others in
boats or lighthouses, and few on
Islands in the river.
:, Though the enumerators, when
the census began in April, did their
best to cover the water front popula-
ton, Mr.. Brown believes that many
persons living on boats were over
looked. Since April he has had a
hunch that there have been addi-
lions to Washington's water front
colony.
In q final drive to locate missing
persons, census takers, probably this
week, will check workers in all Fed
eral buildings. Mr.. Brown also re-
vealed yesterday.
