British Are Disappointed
By Lease-Lend Bill Delay
BY Cable to The Star.

BY Cable to The Star
LONDON. March THE British
are disappointed but undiscouraged
by the United States Senate's
lengthy delay in passing the lease
lend bill for aid to Britain.
They are disappointed by the
strength of the opposition to the
bill and by the fact that this opposi-
ton has delayed proceedings at a
moment when every second is felt
to count.
They are not discouraged because
they realize that the opposition,
while noisy, is still not sufficient
to defeat the bill and because they
recognize the desirability of not
having the bill railroaded through
by the administration.
A one or two-week delay in the
passage of the bill will have been
well spent, they feel, if the bill,
in it's final form, bears the stamp
of authentic popular and congress
sional approval.
1t is understood here that things
will happen fast when the lease-lend
bill is passed and that plans are
being perfected at the very moment
that the opposition Senators are
wearing out their vocal chords.
Thus the delays may not be quite
as serious az they appear.

Marine Duty
In Tropics Held
Bad for Morale
BY the Associa ted Press.

The Senate Naval Affairs Com
mittee today approved a S15000,O00
authorization to establish Marine
Corps training base in North Caro-
lima.
The committee acted after hear
ing the Marine Corps commandant
testify that present training in trop-
ical areas caused his men to de
teriorate physically and morally"
Maj. Gen. Thomas Holcomb
Marine Corps commandant, testified
that most Marine recruits now were
being trained at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba, and that the tropical region
was not best for morale
They have no amusement other
than smokers and things we devise,
the general said. There are no
white women for them to see. The
men deteriorate mentally and phys
ically."
Gen. Holcomb said that about
5000 men now were being trained in
the tropical regions and that the
proposed new training center in
North Carolina would be able to
handle contemplated expansions.
Senator Russell, Democrat, of
Georgia predicted that the North
Carolina center eventually would
include another $25,000000 for an
air base for 300 marine fighting
planes.
Navy officials testified that the
present marine training center at
Quantico, Va, could not be enlarged
to handle the expanding Marine
Corps and lacked salt water needed
for training.

New Naval AuxiIiaries
Might Go TO British
In Part, Admiral Says
But IneersoII Stresses
No Specific ALLEGATIONS
Have Been Made
BY the Associated Press.

Rear Admiral Royal E. Ingersoll
assistant chief of naval operations,
told Congress today part of re-
quested 100000 tons of naval aux
iliaries. such as tankers, might figure
in the British-aid program.
Admiral Ingersoll made his state
ment to the House Naval Affairs
Committee in response to questions
by Chairman Vinson, but repeatedly
emphasized that no specific alloca-
ton of the proposed auXiliaries had
yet been made.
If by any possible chance we were
directed to turn over all our tankers
to some foreign nation" he said at
one point, I'VE would have to get
more tankers from the Maritime
Commission"
Adding that he mentioned this
contingency only as a possibility,
Admiral Ingersoll emphasized that
the Navy had neither funds nor au-
thority to replace such auxiliaries or
to acquire any new ones now.
Committee members sought re-
peatedly to get yes or no" answers
whether the proposed auxiliaries
were definitely intended for transfer
to Britain.

Red Tape Delays Ships,
British Owner CHARGES
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CARDIFF. Wales, March 7.-One
of Great Britain'S leading ship own
ers asserted today that governmental
red tape was causing endless delay"
in the movement of vessels trans
porting the nations food supplies.
Sir Willie Reardon- Smith told the
Bristol Channel Ship Owners Asso-
citation that the red tape was due to
a lack of cooperation and confidence
between shipping men and the Min
istry of Shipping.
IF only the Prime Minister or
some other minister with the neces-
Sary drive and authority could spend
some time in the departments af-
fected." he continued, iron out ma
tural jealouSies which exist between
one department and another and cut
away few wrappings of red tape
and get down to essentials, all ship
ping men would be happier and the
nations war effort would be helped
considerably"

Super Labor Tribunal
May Be Established,
President Reveals
Sees Nation Opposing
Serious Strikes
Over Jurisdiction
By JOHN c. HENRY.

A super agency to exercise juris-
dlctlon over all nationally important
labor problems may be added to the
emergency structure of the Gov
ernment, President Roosevelt dis
closed at his press conference today.
Although he emphasized that the
project still is in the study stage,
the President left definite impress
sion during his discussion of current
labor conditions that the action will
be taken as a means of smoothing
out the many problems involved in
the present extraordinary defense
demands.
At the same time, the Chief Execu-
tive, while repeating earlier eX-
pressions of unconcern at the num-
ber of labor disputes. bluntly de-
clared he believed the country would
not approve any serious jurisdic-
tional labor strikes.
To illustrate the kind meant in
this latter category, he cited the
work stoppage at Wright Field,
Dayton, Ohio, where an A. F. of l..
electrical workers union halted work
because one of the subcontractors
was using c. I. o. labor.
Long Range Aspects.
With regard to the setting up Of
the new agency, Mr.. Roosevelt dealt
considerably with the long-range
aspects of the labor problem, not
only labor relations and supply dur
ing the emergency period, but also
disposition and utilization of skilled
labor after the emergency is over.
The type of agency being consid-
cred, he explained, would have a
much broader field of responsibility
than the World War Mediation
Board, and, consequently. could not
properly be considered merely a re-
constituting Of that agency.
The new board would be separate
from the Office of Production Man
agement, he said, and would func-
ton independently as a final tribu-
nal in the consideration of labor
problems. Among some of its con-
Germs, he spoke of labor congestion,
costs OF living and the peculiar
problems which might arise in in
dividual industries.
Part for Local Agencies.
Where the issues are of purely
local import, there would be an
effort, he explained, to have them
handled by local agencies or other
conciliation machinery, leaving the
super-board free to deal with mat
ters of Nation wide Importance.
The Presidents discussion of the
labor situation was opened by ques-
tioning about his previous assertion
that strikes had never affected more
than one-quarter of l per cent OF
defense production at any one time
He repeated today that he believed
it would be difficult to find any more
than that proportion affected on any
given day. but added that, of course

FeNed in Attack on
Malta, British Say
Germans Struck in Waves
Wednesday; Advances on
African Fronts Claimed
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CAIRO, Egypt, March IA mass
raid by more than 100 German
planes on Britain's Mediterranean
fortress at Malta, in which 16 dive
bombers, bombers and fighters of
the attacking force were shot down
was disclosed by the British today.
Rapid British progress to Fer
Fer in the Ethiopian
frontier region, and a slower ad-
vance to point east of Amanit on
the Gondar road north of Lake
Tana in Ethiopia, also were re-
ported.
The British said they lost only
one fighter in the violent battles
which occurred over Malta when
the Germans attacked in waves
Wednesday.
No r. A. F. Casualties.
They admitted some damage to
buildings, but declared there were
no R. A. F. casualties.
Nine aircraft were brought down
by anti-aircraft fire, the commu-
nique said, while British fighting
planes destroyed two dive bombers,
big Dornier bomber and two Mes
serschmitt fighters. Many others
were believed by the British to have
been damaged.
(The Germans yesterday said
