Gertrude Bell

SS1 ~ OOS DCu
By Ronald Bodley and Lorna
Hearst. Ne1U York: Macmillan
Co.
Since Gertrude Bell was an IRE
sistibly interesting woman, it seems
unlikely that any work about her
will go without public. Yet one
could wish that she had found q
profounder biographer-or pair of
biographers-than the present ones.
Mr.. Bodley is a relative of the late
great mountain climber and desert
explorer; he has had access to
abundant material in preparing his
work. Yet the work Is superficial
and rather foolish in tone. It's chief
preoccupation seems to be to con-
vince readers that Miss Bell, in all
her great endeavors, was feminine"
that she thought about her appear
ance when she was riding into I'M
known desert wastes and that, in
dealing with savage tribesmen and
hindering officials, she used "femi-
nine wiles." Well, if she did, it is
worth mentioning. But she was
obviously a profound and complex
character, and history of her life
ought, certainly, to take some cogni-
zance of the fact. Mr.. Bodley does
not. He offers no convincing picture
of his heroine at all. NC. r.
Fifth Column in America
By Harold Lauine. Ne,o York
Doubleday, Doran & Co.
The reviewer, receiving this book
so soon after the publication of Rep
resentative Dies Trojan Horse in
America" supposed, from the title,
that the work was probably along
the same lines. 1t appears, how
ever, that there is nice distinction
in would-be treasons terms. The
Congressman's book dealt chiefly
with leftist activities. Mr.. Lavine,
on the other hand, gives most space
to the totalitarians on the right.
Apparently Trojan Horses are
communist animals and fifth COL
umnists" are customarily Fascist.
If there is any enlightenment in
the statement, the reviewer offers
it for what it is worth.
Mr.. Lavine is editorial director for
the Institute for Propaganda Analy-
sis. He displays close familiarity
with the various Fascist-inclined
organizations which have been op-
Grating under the protection of our
Government in recent years and, in
the main, as he describes them here,
he has found them more funny
than dangerous. He says, however,
that it is well to remember that
Hitler's beginnings were funny, too,
hilariously funny. "The only
trouble" he adds, with Adolf Hit
Ter was that he wouldn't stay funny.
Some of these people may be like
that"
So he takes up in succession the
various people and organizations
who, he says, long to see the United
States under a dictatorship. He
gives us George E. Deatherage and
his Knights of the White Camelia,
Dudley Pierrepont Gilbert and his
American Nationalist, James True
and his Industrial Control Reports,
Father Coughlin and his National
Union for Social Justice, the Chris
tan Mobilizers and the Christian
Front; Count Anastase Vonsiatskoy-
Vonsiatsky and his Russian National
Fascist Revolutionary Party, Fritz
Kuhn and the America Deutscher
Volksbund Git ended, he says, in a
"Drang mach Ossining'), William
Dudley Pelley and his Silvershirts,
and an assortment of similar organ
izations centering in California
which runs through everything from
a league of Arabs to a federation

Late Harvest

By OIiUe B. White. NeD York
This book portrays the life of t
family in the nationalistic England
woman and her husband striving to
Queen, but finding their lives thwart
for their steadfast religious belief.
even though it is one of limited
ideals as much as of flesh and blood
might be, but the author has adj
hered closely to history and has
drawn q worthwhile comparison
with present-day conditions.

II Get Ashore Safely
After Blast Sinks
Freighter in Pacific
Crew Spends so Hours
In Open Boat; Cause
Of Fire Is Mystery
BY the Associated Press.

ASTORIA, Oreg, July 13.-
Twenty-one officers and men of the
Greek freighter Hellenic Skipper,
thankful for the solid ground under
them, rested today after go grueling
hours in an open boat.
They reached shore late yesterday
with the information their 1,548-ton,
45-year-old vessel caught fire 1870
miles at sea and blew up.
Second Engineer A. Merritzanis
was in hospital in critical condi-
ton from burns and exposure. The
others were weak, but none was in
serious shape.
Wireless Disabled.
The Hellenic Skipper, until re-
Gently the Alaska Steamship Co.'S
Curacao, caught fire mysteriously
early last Wednesday.
The wireless was put out of COM
mission in few minutes. Capt.
Panis Danalis gave the order to
abandon ship. In the frenzy to get
the lifeboat launched, two sailors
were left aboard, but the boat put
back and picked them up. Twenty
minutes later the Hellenic Shippers
boilers exploded and she sank.
The crew, without compass or
other navigation instruments, set
a course for the coastline, navigating
by sun and stars over the rough seas
Loaded With Lumber.
A. B. Chittester of Castle Rock.
Wash, a tuna fisherman, sighted
the lifeboat 40 miles off the mouth
of the Columbia River Friday. He
took the injured men aboard and
towed the boat to the Columbia bar,
where a Coast Guard lifeboat took
over.
The vessel was sold recently by
the Alaska Steamship CO. to En-
manuel Yannoulatos, a Greek ship
operator residing in Shanghai. 1t
had loaded about a million feet of
lumber at Aberdeen, Wash, and was
en- route to Shanghai via Honolulu.

immediate mobilization of the Ma
tional Guard.
Higher Pay Favored.
Senator Sheppard will support
amendments advocated by the Army
yesterday to raise the proposed S.
per month rate of pay for enrollees
and to lengthen the period of train
ing from eight months to not less
than one year and preferably IL
months
Although the bill in original form
calls for registration of all men be-
tween 18 and 65 and contemplated
military training TO rthose between
81 and As. the testimony OF Army
officials yesterday indicated they be-
iieve the 81 to 80 age group would
form the backbone of the training
program.
Next to the National Guard mob
ilization proposal, the following de-
fense developments attracted atten-
ton yesterday:
The War Department announced
plans for creation of ninth
"streamlined" division. with head
quarters at Fort Bragg, N. C.
The Defense Commission disclosed
that directors of Packard Motor
Co. had approved general arrange
ments" on a contract for the manu-
facture of 5000 Rolls Royce airplane
engines-3O00 for the United States
and 5000 for Great Britain.
The Du Pont Powder Co. and the
War Department were reported to
have agreed upon construction Q!
a 100000, 900 smokeless powder plant
near Louisville, KY. with daily out
put of 100000 pounds planned, the
plant would double the Nations en-
tire existing powder production.
Divisions Selected.
In announcing the National
Guard mobilization plan, Stephen
Early, presidential secretary, said
one division will come from New
York and New Jersey, second from
Tennessee and the Carolinas, g
third from New Mexico, Oklahoma
Arizona and Colorado, and the
fourth from Oregon, Washington
Montana and Idaho.
Once their training is completed
he said, consideration will be giver
to the question of extending the
training to other Guard units.
The divisions mentioned by Mr.
Early are the 44th, 30th, 45th anc
41st. A War Department spokes.
man said, however, that their selec.
ton for training was entirely tenta.
tive.
If Congress approves the plan, he
said, the question of which unit:
to call will be re-examined in the
light of facilities available al thai
time
For instance, he explained, the
30th Division normally would trair
at Camp Jackson, S. c., but the
Regular Army's training might moi
permit use of that post. In tha
event, he said, a different division
might be selected.
May Augment Divisions.
Each of the National Guard divi.
sions has a strength of 608 officers
9 warrant officers and 9,40O men.
This is about 5000 men and u
officers under authorized peace
strength. and officials anticipated
Evening star., 1940-07-13
that the divisions summoned to &C
tive duty would be augmented.

that the divisions summoned to ac-
tive duty would be augmented.
Guard officers understood the pro-
cedure would be first to recruit the
divisions to peace strength, retain
them at their home stations for
about 10 days and then move the
various units to nearby posts for
training under canvas.
Creation Of a 9th "Streamlined'
Division, last to be undertaken un-
der immediate plans, was announced
yesterday by the War Department
along with organization of numer-
Gus other new units made possible
by prospective increase of $1,000
men in the Regular Army's strength
Like its predecessors, the new di-
vision will have peace strength of
about 5000.
Orders concentrating most of the
existing 5th Division at Camp Gus
ter, Mich, were announced at the
same time, as a part of widespread
reshuffling of units in connection
