rage lJ Demetrio Ramos, Minister of the Interior, told the United Press at the presidential palace. 'The fate of the chief of staff, Gen. Ichazo, is not known. It appears that cadets also are involved"
 Ramos said that pending further news it was not known whether the revolutionaries had been checked but he said that the government, backed by all available military strength, was prepared to repulSe "any form of attack by rebels"
 Government quarters said that dissident factions in the army had planned the rebellion, which was to have been led here by an escort re- giment and group of cadets. They had been scheduled, it was said, to act on a signal from the interior.

 Dies asserted that he was pre- pared to make Dolsen's case a "test" of the committees authority, and said that witnesses before his con- mittee "are going to answer the questions we ask them hereafter and tell the truth, or they're going to jail for contempt or perjury"
 Belonged to Dolsen
 He said he was convinced the controverted membership card be- longed to Dolsen, "even if he de- nied it."
 Tt was the only membership card we found in Dolsen's room," he said. Whether it is or not, he certainly is an accessory to the use of a public officials name, and we want him prosecuted. We intend to determine here and now whether the Communists can take the Presl- dents name or the name of any other prominent person and put il on membership cards"

 "The Dies committee claim that it had discovered a Communist party membership card issued to Franklin D. Roosevelt is one of the classic exhibitions of ~iocy that will go down in history attached to the name of Martin Dies," the editorial said.
 of course Roosevelt is not a member of the party of socialism Of the American workers. Two years ago, when Wall street was fighting Roosevelt, the allegation that the president of the United States was a member of the Communist party was entirely erroneous, but it was not absurd.
 Thinking of him today, in his present role as the chief of imper- ialist war makers attempting tc drag our country into the European war and, quite consistently, resort ing to the Sherman antitrust law in an attempt to exterminate the American trade unions as a par' of the same reactionary war policy the suggestion that he is a member of the Communist party is an in' suit"

 In the vote that followed, the vote was 14-13 in favor of the mo- tion. Then Michael Toma, an alter nate acting as a delegate, cast a negative vote, and Judge Mascolo's proposal was lost through a tie.
 The next amendment offered was that convention delegates be chosen by nominating five candidates from each district at district caucuseS, with the five to be balloted on at direct district primaries. The pro- posal was defeated on a voice vote.
 Rules Adopted
 MT. Lynch then moved that the rules proposed by him be adopted. There were IT yeas and the rules were declared adopted. ..
 As the delegates prepared to enter ward caucuses to consider the makeup of the new town commit tee, Judge Mascolo read letters recommending the appointment of several candidates. Among those recommended were: Francis Feeley endorsed by Francis c. O'Donnell; Mrs. Belinda Mccoy Tracy en- dorsed by Mrs. Nora Mahaney Har- ris; and Joseph Hyrnie, endorsed by the Polish-American Political Club.

 Another of the many ramifications in the gangs operatoins which re- vealed the underworld's fair of Murder, Inc. came to light with the solving of the murder of Samuel Chioccon last November.

 ChiOccoi Murder Details
 Joseph Caroselli, 25. gave the de- tails of Cioccoli's murder and named George Dolney and Albert Gatti as his accomplices. The latetr two are awaiting trial for two other mur- ders.
 The job of clearing up some 30 murders attributed directly or in- directly to Murder, Inc.," the Brooklyn syndicate, and exposed in series of gangsters' confessions in the past 10 days, had overburdened the office of Brooklyn's District At torney William O'Dwyer. He as- signed a large staff of detectives to the work, gave them an entire floor in his office building and asked fo- a second grand jury to be sworn in April along with the regular grand jury. and for an additional judge to be brought in from outside the coun- ty to help clear the criminal calen- dar.

 It was reported that one uniden- tified German freighter had gone aground yesterday on the northwest Danish coast, in eluding British warship, but had been ref1oated. o
 The German ships take iron, coal and other cargoes to Scandinavia an dtake back iron ore to Germany. It was the iron ore which the Brit ish sought to stop.
 At present Narvik, up on the Norwegian coast, was thep rincipal port of exit for ore. Reports from London were that ships going down the coast from Narvik had to go out side the three-mile territorial limit at two points on the way to Ger many and it was indicated that Brit ain might keep warships at these points Co intercept CneIn.

 A French purchase of Rumanian oil was calculated to make 1t still more difficult for Germany to ob- tain the oil 1t needs. Rumania has agreed to sell Germany 130,000 tons of oil month. and to make up ar rears in last years contracts. But most of the Rumanian oil produc- tion is in the hands of allied-con- trolled companies and they have not cooperated in Rumanian govern ment's efforts, at Germany's call, to increase production. Germany has been seeking to buy stock in big Rumanian-owned companies. As a further obstacle to German supply, Britain is reported to be seeking to charter for the duration of the war

an important part Of Danube river transport.
 Routes Open in North
 On the north, Germany's routes through the Baltic to Scandinavia are open and will be further opened within a month when the ice clears from the Gulf of Bothnia. On the east, the routes to Russia are wide open and subject to development. On the south, the Germans have free access to the Balkans and Italy if they are able-as they have been to outbid the Allies in southeast ern markets.
 Only on the Western Front, where Adolf Hitler is striving to concen- trate and restrict the war, are the Germans "encircled" as yet by any blockade barriers that seriously in- terrupt the normal flow of goods for which the Germans can pay.
 Under such circumstances, there was no indication that Hitler would be in any hurry to signal his war machine into action on any field, unless he undertakes another swift blow at his constant and prime objective-the British heet-in or der to try to loosen the blockade in the North Sea or at the Skag- gerak entrance to the Baltic.
 The desire for taking the initia- tive has shifted much more defi- nitely to the Allied powers, but without offering any feasible plan for attack as yet.
 Nazi Objectives
 The Nazi objective obviously has been peace that would recognize their conquests but long period of Stalemate that would create discon- tent in the Allied nations might also work to their advantage. Hitler's primary war weapon in the pat (with the exception of Poland) has been propaganda and the time never was better for Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels to prac- tice his wizardy with words.

Watch Kitchen Efficiency

Home builders are cautioned by
Federal Housing administration Of.
hcials not to condense the kitchen
so as to make 1t too small for use.
A kitchen can be efficient even
though it may not be as small as q
Pullman-car kitchen. Despite the
fervor for "step-saving," a happy
medium should be maintained be-
tween the Pullman kitchen and the
old-fashioned kitchen. The kitchen
does double duty. II serves as a
cooking center, and at the same
time it is a storage place for dishes,
utensils. cleaning materials, and
other household gadgets and equip
ment. Sufficient space for storage
is Of vital Importance in the, plan
ming Of a kitchen for a small mod
ern home.

Windows Are Important
In Appearance of Home

Windows are all-important in con-
trolling the outside appearance Of a
home and its inside decorative eff
fects, as well as contributing to the
comfort and happiness Of the occu-
pants, according to recent issue Of
a leading builders magazine.
Some Of the newest home building
ideas for cutting costs and increas-
ing quality apply to windows. And
that is fortunate since the public
taste seems to be more and more
toward glass, cheerful interiors and
sunshine. Analysing the work Of
some Of the country's most success
full operative builders brings out the
fact that they are practically de-
signing their best selling houses
around its windows. In their most
profitable homes the windows are
something more than mere openings
in the wall. They have far greater
role than that of letting light in and
keeping out wind and rain and snow.
They are utilized as one Of the most
effective Of sales points in focusing
attention of the prospect, whether
he's buyer or renter.
Picture windows decide many .
home sale by framing a favorite
view. Use of peach colored plate
glass often adds to the beauty of a
scene. And a picture window over
the sink or a corner window may
be the means Of lifting that kitchen
to new plane of beauty and cheer
the difference between a domes-
tic workshop Of drudgery and an in
Viting unit of the home.

Polarized Light Used
In Engineering Tests

Scientists are using shadows and
rainbows to prevent train wrecks,
foods and other disasters-by the
use Of polarized light to analyze
strains on bridges, dams and other
structures. according to Prof. M. S.
Ketchum Of the Case School Of APP
piled Sciences. Cleveland, Ohio.
Until rainbow tests were applied
in testing bridges" said Ketchum,
assistant professor of civil engineer
ing, many engineers grossly over
estimated the strength of materials
needed in certain parts Of the struc-
lures. They then were at loss to
explain why their work gave way
occasionally with disastrous results. |"
Ketchum explained that engineers
now make models Of bridges Of cell
luloid or other plastics, place
weights on them. shine polarized
light through the semi-transparent
model and observe the distortions
manifested in the form Of rainbow
shadows"
The principle involved" he said,
lis that polarized light, which is
caused by the passage Of ordinary
light through polaroid crystals vi
brates in one plane only.
IF this polarized light now is
passed through glass, gelatin or plas-
tics, it will cast a shadow similar
to a rainbow. But when a strain is
put on the material, the shadow is
distorted and the greatest distortion
occurs when the strain is greatest
Thus it is very easy to see where a
break would occur and where more
strength is required"
Ketchum tests models Of machin-
cry, dams and other structures.
The models Of dams are made Of
gelatin-sometimes as much as Is
pounds of the material being melted
to make one model dam.

Locating Cause Of Puncture

Here is a quick and safe method
of locating a tack, nail or piece Of
glass that has caused a fat tire.
After the tube has been removed
from the tire, take a rag and run it
around the inside Of the tire. No
matter how slightly the tack point
protrudes, it will catch on the
threads of the cloth. Closer exam
nation Of the spot will remove the
object, he says. This method will
prevent cut hands, the result Of try
ing to locate the tack with the fin
gers. It also saves time spent In
searching the tire by the slow proc
ess of spreading and examining each
section.
