YANKEE OCPU:

public services, and to tie up Man.

firearms in gun clubs. Lots of peo-
pie seemed much impressed by all
this. Others decried the testimony,
and its talkative source.
Another witness declared that
Mervyn Rathborne, president of the
American Communications associa-
ton, was dangerous red. Roose-
welt had put him on the board of the
National Youth administration, and
Mrs. Roosevelt had praised him in
her news column. This witness said
that $50 red radio men, on U. S.
ships, planned to tie up the whole
Yankee marine in case of war. Here
was another thrill.
An ex-communist said he feared a
red general strike, and a second
American civil war. Mr.. Dies, him
self, feared Trojan Horsemanship;
but Mrs. Roosevelt, perhaps better
informed in these matters, said
Americans had better be calm. Mr..
Dies and Mrs. R. are not keen about
one another. Dies also feared herds
of red and brown Trojan Horses,
grazing allegedly on the pampas, if
any, of Mexico.

PROPAGANDA:
Anglo &c Teuto

The Germans brought out still an
other propaganda job (White Book) ,
to prove that the English had issued
orders the first week in April, to
seize Morse strategic points. Accord
ing to the "plan," Morse defense
against England, was to be phoney.
Anglo-Norse ''connivance" was the
keynote of this masterpiece, cere-
moniously distributed to the faith
full, and to the press.
The London press tried turning
on the pessimistic faucet, to ex-
plain Morse reverses, and English
trimmings in Norway. The news
papers told their readers it would
be long, hard war up north, and
appealed primarily-a clever prop
aganda dodge in England-to ma
tive Briton bulldoggery. On Ger
mans, French, and Americans, this
type of gloom-spreading has been
proved disastrous; in Russia, as in
England, it works!
It's strange fact, but Americans
know more about their war than
Europeans themselves.

III GERMAN WAR:
NOrdic Phase

And still the Nordics fought among
themselves up north - Norsemen,
Germans, English, Anglo-Canadians
and an occasional Norman peasant
from Quebec. AS some of the smoke
and propaganda clouds lifted a bit,
interesting news items revealed
themselves to the American public.
The Germans had captured Oslo,
Morse capital, with an air-wafted
force of 1000 men. They had cap
tured Narvik with a few hundred
men. They had taken Bergen, Sec
ond city of Norway, with corpo-
rails guard of 100. They had occu-
pied Trondheim without firing a
shot. So much for expert Trojan
horsemanship.
1t appeared, further, that many OF
the English troops dumped from the
transports into Norway, were i'll
equipped "territoriaP' militia, or
half-trained regulars, without proper
aerial support, heavy artillery,
tanks, or even automatic rifles. The
Germans facing them, had plenty OF
good, new automatic weapons, air
bombers and fighters, anti-aircraft,
tanks, and considerable knowledge
of the Norwegian language. Accord

United States military planes to fly
for great distances at attitudes
above 10000 feet, out of the range Of

q Every batch of 10000 Ameri-
can-made nails carries an identi-
flying mark and therefore, in case
of crime, can be traced to the
manufacturer, thence to dealers
and purchasers. In 1886, a Penn

had killed three persons, was cap

gle nail found at the scene Of one
explosion.

struction Finance corporation in
the past eight years have varied
in size from $3.50, which was lent
to barber to pay for equipment
for his shop, to S2O8, $780, 900, which

poration Of Cleveland carried on a
series of experiments at Wright
Field, Dayton, Ohio, and developed
the new fuel system, which is be-
ing produced exclusively for army
and navy planes.
All engineering details of the new
fuel system have been kept secret,
but it was disclosed that ''vapor
lock" was overcome by placing the
fuel pump at point remote from the
heat of the motor and at a level
more equal to that of the gasoline
tank and fuel supply.
The Ely miner., 1940-05-09

The reason for this varying per-
formance is known to aeronautical
engineers as "vapor lock-" and re-
suits from an uneven flow of fuel
because of the varying atmospheric
pressure in the "thin air" of the
sub-stratosphere. At certain alti-
tudes high test gasoline vaporizes
and replaces liquid fuel in feed lines.
It was to overcome this "vapor
lock" that Sergt. Ralph E. Gray and

Red Cross Prisoners

An international treaty provides
that members of a Red Cross unit
captured by belligerents are not to
be treated as prisoners of war but
are to be returned to their own
country as soon as military ext

they are to care for the sick and
wounded behind the enemy's lines
and, in compensation, be given the
same treatment, pay and quarters
that they receive at home.-Col-

The ghost of Teddy laughed down at

without reason. The house-for the
third time-voted $4,000 of them
some $1,000, 900, for a special travel
and subsistence allowance. Once
again, the vets had conquered San

HAIL COLUMBIA:
III Tern,

1t looked more than ever like a
Third Term effort by the White
House white father. The President
| let out tentative plans for a three
weeks junket around the country in
June, to counteract the Republican
national convention at Philadelphia
that month. Some of the political
railbirds thought that Franklin
would keep the Populus Americanus
guessing until the very opening of
the Democratic convention, at Chi
cago, in mid-July. Anti-duodecimals
continued to yammer loudly against
the Presidents seeming indecision.
Pro-Rooses smiled sagely. Republi-
can Publisher Frank Gannett of
Rochester, N. Y, declared that four
more Rooseveltian years might spell
some great national calamity. Mr..
Gannett seemed to indicate that
there was fiery Trojan Horse (of
purest Morse breed) in the White
House back-room. But Democratic
Senator Guffey was renominated in
Pennsylvania-on the ticket of a
man who was a totalitarian for
Roosevelt.
Taussig Tempest
Rear Admiral Joe Taussig, assist
ant chief of American naval opera
tions, stuck his neck out, when he
testified on the navy expansion bill
to senatorial committee. He said
we needed badly an Independent
China; that we better fight Japan
with the help of England, France
and Holland; and added that it
would be, strictly, a naval war-as
the Yankee buffalo and the Nippon
whale could hardly get at one anoth-
er by land.
Everybody scrambled around dis
avowing Mr.. Taussig, Cromwell
of the navy department. Secretary
Hull, Secretary Edison, admirals,
and "burocrats" all talked in wor-
ried, unhappy circles. Senator Clark
of Missouri suggested a court-mar-
tial, to the open approval of masses
of plain American citizens.
japanese spokesmen took the in
cident with remarkable tact and
good manners, considering that they
are often labeled as Far Eastern
"Prussians." They merely remind

ing to the military critics, the Ger
man leadership and staff work, too,
seemed superior. AS the German
invaders worked their militant way
along portions of the Swedish from
tier, Sweden recoiled in terror, al
though German promises" offered
to soothe them. German promise"
make shaky Swedes.
Under leadership of Admiral Lind
strom, Sweden's small but power
full navy is being tuned to full war
time strength.
Sea Losses
London claimed the loss of 30 Ger
man ships in two weeks: most of
them troop transports. Four, said
England, were captured; the rest
were destroyed. Sinking transports
is always a hideous process, and
English sources reported 5000 Ger
man bodies washed ashore on the
eastern rocks of Oslo inlet. In the
Skaggerak, the usually optimistic
French reported the sinking of
couple of German patrol boats, at
the hands of fiotilla of Gallo de-
stroyers. Rumors from Berlin-and
elsewhere - continued to whisper
that more than half of England's Is
big capital warships were down or
out.
But the English countered with
the announcement of five coming
new sea mammoths, an effort to fill
up the decimated ranks These wa
ter monsters would be payed for out
of the coming fiscal years budget
of $4,000, ,000, 900, including sales tax,
''for the sake of victory" Exclud-
ing marines, sailors, deck hands,
and flyers, England announced that
its armed and armored man-total
was now 100000.
Morse NOtatiOnS
Two Morse flyers stole big Ger
man seaplane, painted out its insig-
MIA crosses, and flew it to England,
where they joined the royal air
force. The incident shows the evils
of drink: the Nazi pilots had been
beering.
c. ]. Hambro, president of the
Norwegian parliament, issued a
statement that his country has def
mite proof that Germany planned
its invasion of Norway for months.
He also said that the night before
the invasion a German whaling
boat, crowded with hidden troops
and supplies, sailed into the port of
Narvik-flying the American flag.
Enterprising German troops,
dropped by parachute behind the
Morse lines, eddied down to earth
carrying collapsible bicycles, ma
chine-guns, radio-transmitting sets,
cameras, saws, other tools, and gas
welding equipment.
President Roosevelt recognized Of
ficially the still undeclared Nordic
war, and put Norway, like other
belligerents, on a strictly cash-and-
carry basis. Germany set up pup
pet government in German-occupied
Norway, modelled on that of Ger
man-occupied Czecho-Moravia-S
vakia.
Morse troops were driven over the
friendly Swedish frontier in consid-
cradle numbers, as the Germans
chased them in armored cars,
trucks, and motorcycle sidecars.
Capt. Robert Losey, American air
attache, was killed in Norway by an
aerial bomb fragment, as he did his
official U. S. observation duty.
Young and able, he was the first
American casualty of the Second
German war. Said Capt. Eddie Rick
