MAKE READY FOR
ALUMINIUM DRIVE
CHILDREN WHO WILL ASSIST
TO MEET AT PARK THIS
AFTERNOON

Children who will take part in
the joint state defense council
Lions club aluminium drive today
are scheduled to meet at La
Concha park for instructions in
the collection they will carry
out tomorrow.
All children willing to take
part in the drive will meet at
the park this afternoon at 4
o'clock to be assigned to the dis
triets they are to cover.
Trucks taking part in the cam
paign will be gathered at the
courthouse at 100 o'clock tomor-
row afternoon, and the drive will
get underway at 2 o'clock. Chill
dren will be instructed in their
duties by Mrs. William r. War

Capt Russell S. CTenshaw,
commandant of the navy station;
Col. Webster F. Putnam, army ex-
ecutive officer. and Lieut.. Comdr.
James FL McKaye, commanding
officer of the naval air station,
have announced they will collect
scrap aluminium to be picked up in
the drive.
Housewives during the past
week have been urged to collect
all old and unused aluminium
utensils preparatory to the coll
lection tomorrow, and owners of
wrecked cars have been asked to
unearth as much of the metal as
possible. All aluminium collect
ed is to be picked up by trucks
and deposited on the courthouse
lawn.
Directors of the program have
explained that housewives seek
ing to aid in the collection should
not contribute pots and pans
which would have to be replac-
ed Nationwide collection is for
the purpose of tapping hitherto
unused stores of the metal, but
to contribute one pan and then
buy another to replace it would
serve no useful purpose.

AnQIO-AmcriCan Relations With
Tokyo Become Rather Dangerous

WASHINGTON, July %. -
Anglo-American relations with
Tokyo today appeared to be en-
tering dangerous stage as au-
thoritative quarters indicated
Japan has demanded, and been
granted, sweeping concessions in
French Indo-C China.
British Foreign Minister An
thony Eden, following the line of
a recent address by Prime Minis
ter Winston Churchill, warned
Tokyo in thinly yelled terms that
Great Britain will fight before
permitting a japanese move to
the south.
Under Secretary of State Sum-
ner Welles, meanwhile, is re-
ported to have asked an explana-
ton from the japanese ambassa-
dor.
Navy Secretary Frank Knox,
asked if the United States navy
is in a position where it could be
used to block Japanese move,
answered with the single. word.
yes He refused to amplffy OF
explain the statement, but said
there can be no question but that
recent developments presage a
new japanese military move.
Expect Move Soon
British sources. denying what
they termed Nazi-inspired propa-
ganda Of a possible British oc-
cupation Of Indo- China and Thai
land, said they believe Japan will
attack the French colony this
week.
British informants in China said
unconfirmed reports have been
received telling of a japanese
fleet on the move south, includ-
ing warships and 30 troop trans
ports.
Financial circles in New York
have heard reports that the
United States and Great Britain
are ready to freeze japanese
credits in both countries, and to
impose new bans on transporta-
ton and communication facilities
in the far east.

LISBON, Portugal, July 23.-
German and Italian consular Of
ficials. ready for a banquet in
their honor when they arrived in
Lisbon today aboard the United
States liner West Point, have been
refused permission to go ashore,

The diplomatic staffs, busted

will not be permitted to leave the
West Point until American con-
sular employees are safely in Por-

was announced.
Thelmuve, ordered by the West
Point captain, apparently was in
retaliation for the action of Ger

American diplomats enter Por-
tugal until the Axis party had
reached Lisbon.
Since the Americans are not ex-

is supposed the Germans and

there by fire and score of civilians
killed or wounded.
Fifteen of the Nazi raiders were
said to have been destroyed by

One Thousand LabOTcTS
Walked Out Today For
An Increase IN Wages

Work on every construction
job in Key West came to a halt
at noon To-Day as more than 1000
laborers walked out in what their
union leaders termed a 'twildcat"
strike.
Leaders of the insrrgent group,
including Charles Albury, chair
man of the grievance committee
which was formed at a labor
mass meeting last night, said the
men would not return to work
until they received a pay boost
from their present accent rate
to 62l2 cents an hour.
Z Albury, at a meeting of strike
leaders this afternoon with w. p.
Thurston, president of Thurston
Construction company, said he
was willing to put the executives
plea for return to work before
his followers, but he added he
was convinced the men would
not 60 back.
Capt. Russell S. Crenshaw,
navy station commandment. said
he was puzzled by the walkout,
since no member of the striking
group had made any complaint.
Meeting AT Park
Captain Crenshaw said the
strike affected three companies
working on navy contracts

pany, the Maekle company of Mi
ami, and the Thurston firm.
About 500 or 700 men are be-
heved to have left the three

the arrival here of w. A. Meal
lister, department of labor con-
cIliator, who is rushing here from
Miami.
Leaders of the group met at the
labor union headquarters, Wind
sor Lane and Olivia streets, to
discuss the walkout.
May Import Workers
Thurston, promising full sup
port to the laborers if they would
return TO their jobs, warned lead 8
ers Of the striking men that the
government might find it neces-
sary to import workers, if the
contracts are delayed.
ThurSton said he felt the men
should return to work now, per-
hitting settlement of their wage
demands while they are on the
job.
Sheriff Berlin Sawyer, who
patrolled the strike areas with
his deputies, said there had been
no violence at any Of the gates.
Marines with fixed bayonets
stood at most of the gates, offer
ing protection for men who wish
ed to enter the restricted areas.
but most of the marine guards
were withdrawn from the hous-
ing projects after a short time
McAllisteT, Thurston and Al
bury were expected to address the
strikers at Bayview Park later
this afternoon.
