Telesis is defined by Websters
dictionary, which added it in 1882,
as Progress intelligently planned
and directed; the attainment OF
desired ends by the application OF
intelligent human effort to the
means"
Since last September, the Teles-
lists have been planning and build
ing an exhibit as the first step in
an educational program to inspire
better planning of homes and
cities. The exhibit will be shown
first at the San Francisco Museum
of Art, an in the fall will be
moved to Los Angeles, Santa Bar
bara and other California cities,
thence to Seattle and Portland,
Ore, and perhaps to New York.
Architects, city planners, plan
ming engineers and landscape
architects comprise the member
ship of Telesis.
According to 28-year-old Fran
els j. Mccarthy, architect and
graduate of Stanford University,
the organization was founded by
himself and six other men last
September as spontaneous pro
test against the evils of congested
building and traffic, poor land
patterns and other environmesltal
disadvantages of San Francisco
that have resulted from lack of
adequate planning and haphazard
progress.
Francis Violich, planning engi-
neer for Alameda county, in San
Francisco'S East Bay area, is an
other founder of Telesis. Others
are Garrett Eckbo, landscape ex-
pert who once worked for Norman
Bel Geddes, well-known designer
Ed williams, landscape architect;
Vernon De Mars, Burton Cairns
and Phil Joseph, architects.
Average age of the Telesists is
30. The membership, now num-
bering about 80, includes city
planning experts, employees of the
Federal Housing Administration
Farm Security Administration AND
other Federal agencies, county ano
municipal planning bureau work
ars, free lance artists, designers
and photographers.
Active members donate theil
services in research, planning and
construction of the exhibit, plus
an initiation fee of IS and month
ly assessment of so cents. Associ-
ate memberships costing $25 have
been sold to a long list of civic
leaders, well-known artists and
community leaders. One of the first
prominent local men to encourage
the group was Prof. Max Radin OF
the University of California, who
recently was appointed chief JUS
tice of the California Supreme
Court.
Rexford G. Tugwen, of early New
Deal brain trust" fame, and Diego
Rivera, the Mexican muralist, also
have helped Telesis.

final success for Germany, his is
the first German admission that
Great Britain win not be an easy
victim of Hitler's military machine.
DR.. Legs admission surely must
have strange sound to German
ears coming so soon after Hitler's
emotional Reichstag threat to an
initiate the British empire if his
peace demands were not Immediate

No Blitzkrieg
Too, in Italy, Virginia Gayda, one
of Mussolini's spokesman, asserts
there will be no blitzkrieg against
Great Britain. He declares "cond-
itions are not exactly those of the
war against France" and he looks
for war of attrition, meaning an
effort by the axis powers slowly to
wear the British Empire down.
Here is evident remarkable
change on the part of the totali-
tartan dictators In trying to defeat
Great Britain. Reckless promises to

The Telesists disclaim any 'Bo-

(UP)-The Duke and Duchess OF
Windsor will be introduced to this

British king arrives to take over
the governorship, with all the color
and pomp which Britons have for

Mobilization Of Military

By the Associated Press.

MEXICO CITY, July 9.-Repeti-
ton of sanguinary disturbances in
which at least A persons were
killed and 286 wounded during Sum
days presidential elections vas ex-
pected today by political circles to
accompany the official vote tabula-
tion Thursday.
In an effort to forestall trouble
the government began mobilizing
the nations military and police
forces.
Both Gen. Manuel Avila Camacho,
administration candidate, and his
independent opponent, Gen. Juan
Andreau Almazan, continued to
claim the election, but the outcome
remained in doubt.
Irregularities Charged.
Camacho's official Mexican Revo-
lutionary party, however, was COM
pleting its own tabulation and
spokesman said the count might be
announced later in the day.
The opposition, meanwhile, raised
a clamor over alleged voting irregu-
larities and Gen. Almazan said that
should he obtain any evidence of
fraud he would deem it "an in
escapable obligation to take all
necessary means to make the will
of the people as expressed in the
election respected"
The task of counting the vote will
be undertaken at public assemblies
by "tabulating commissions" in
each of the election districts.

British Fleet Left Free
To Move on Italians j

ALEXANDRIA, July (P).-French
naval authorities here agreed today
to turn over the entire French fleet
at Alexandria to the British.
The French are arranging trans
portation to France of the crews of
all the Warships.
The French decision removed the
possibility of another British
French naval battle here such as
occurred at Oran, Algeria, and left
the British fleet free to move more
OF its power against the Italians
in the Mediterranean.
An official statement said the
French Admiral Godfrey, command
ing the ships at Alexandria, had
agreed to put them in a condition
so they could not go to sea, to
demilitarize them by removing GER
tain armaments and to reduce the
crews to the men necessary for care
and maintenance. Thus the ships
will lie at Alexandria for the dura-
ton of the war; most of the crews
will be returned to France and
Britain has promised to return the
ships when the war is over.
The French liner Athos II, 1926
ton vessel in port several weeks, is
expected to transport troops in event
of major hostilities. The 12-ton
French liner Providence arrived here
last Thursday after rumors had cir
culated that the French would solve
the dilemma caused by Britain's
ultimatum by giving up the ships
and sending the crews home.
No definite time has been set for
the departure of the Athos II and
the Providence, but it is considered
certain that these vessels will have
British convoy in the Mediter-
ranean as far as is necessary to in
sure their arrival at a French port.
A French steamer was reported to
have sailed with approximately 500
members of crews of French war
ships.
The Athos II and the Providence
are expected to take the remaining
sailors who are returning home. An
undetermined number of French
officers and seamen who elected to
continue the fight alongside the
British are staying aboard their
ships awaiting orders.
The newspaper La Reforme pub
lished for the first time new Brit
ish Admiralty order permitting the
repatriation of Frenchmen who pre-
fer going home to continuing the
