barrassed as a fireman who falls
through a skylight. At o'clock
this morning two German agency
correspondents telegraphed Berlin
that the invasion had occurred. This
afternoon the German Legation had
press conference for its own news
papermen and told them that Moth
ing of the kind had happened, at
least not yet. The news of the
death of Bulgarias independence
was greatly exaggerated. 1t was not
midnight, but 1880. All the uni
forms went back into the suitcases
again. The shoes put out in the
hall tonight to be shined were the
simple, sturdy kind, affected by
army people in their civilian inter-
ludeS. What will tomorrow nights
boots look like?
Polite to British.
About the only rights that Ger
mans and Bulgarians are still ready
to concede the British remaining
here, is question of etiquette.
After all, decorum was always the
Rriton's forte.
How then, Mr.. British Minister?
Is this still visit or is it an inva-
sion? How many German officers,
busily ignoring each other, are
enough to make diplomatic pro-
test? If they get together STEALTH
lily late at night for beer, what would
you say if they all produced papers
to show that they were nothing but
arms statesmen?
The British simply must do
something about this soon. The
suspense is not only terrible; 1t is
getting to be a little ridiculous.

Search Continues for Boys
Missing on Severn River
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, March 10.-Search
for three boys who disappeared on
the snoW-swept Severn River went
into its third day today after Naval
Academy launches, a subchaser, air
planes, police and firemen failed to
find them during the week end.
Firemen used dynamite and drag
lines on the Severn near Round
Bay to attempt to dislodge bodies
from the river bed in the event the
boys had drowned.
Baltimore radio stations last night
broadcast announcements asking
residents along the river to search
their shore lines for any trace of
the boys.
The three were Ned Chambers
and Ray Cunningham, both II, who
pushed out in the river in a leaky
rowboat to attempt to recover a
floating bench, and Jerry Almond,
lS, who tried to rescue them in
another rowboat.
The two rowboats were found
Saturday on the shore near Herald
Barbor, one capSized and severely
battered and other right-side UP,
but filed with water. Parts of
clothing found in and floating near
the boats were identified as belong
ing to the boys.

Maryland Expects
Federal Road Aid
0fS10,0O0,o00
Gov. O'Conor Reveals
Remainder of Program
Of Defense Highways
By the Associated Press.

.
ANNAPOLIS, March 10.-Having
taken steps that he believes will
solve the traffic "bottleneck" ham,
perlng activities of the Glenn L.
Martin airplane plant at Middle
River, Gov. O'Conor has announced
the remainder of $10,756,000 pro-
gram of defense highways and high
way improvement in Maryland.
The Governor said the program
had been submitted to officials of
the Federal Public Roads Admins
tration. He added that his special
committee on roads, which has been
negotiating with the Federal Gov
ernment for funds, had been ad-
vised that Maryland will receive
sl0,000,000 from general road funds
in Washington.
Howard Bruce, Stewart Mcdonald
and John K. Shaw are members of
the special committee.
Outline of the Program.
Briefly, the program outlined by
the Governor calls for:
Roads to the Indianhead naval
powder plant costing $2,180,000.
Fort George G. Meade improve
ments totaling $1,270,O 900, and includ-
ing S miles of dual highway from
Laurel to the fort.
A Bethlehem Steel Co. relief line"
calling for $685. 900 worth of i'm
provements at Baltimore.
Work in the vicinity of Aberdeen
Proving Ground costing 100000.
New roads and improvements at
EdgeWood Arsenal up to $4,000.
A bridge across the Potomac
River between Cumberland in Ale
gany, Md, and Ridgeley, w. Va,
to cost s450,0O0 and to provide
access to the Ridgeley Airport.
Martin Program Start Ordered.
The previously detailed 1926 900
Martin Co. program
An immediate start on the Martin
road construction program was
ordered by the Governor Friday and
a company was engaged Saturday
to prepare plans and surveys for a
S1,250,000 bridge to be built over
Back River as part of it.
The largest single item in the
Fort Meade improvements would
be the dual highway from Laurel
to the fort. This, it is estimated,
would cost 1899 900.
A two-lane road from Waterloo
to Fort Meade would be built with
100000 of Federal aid and the
State furnishing the balance of the
necessary funds.

British Aid

the Senate who did not vote during
the last half-hour to support Eng
land and even those six repeatedly
stated they wanted England to win. ,
The Michigan Senator said this
led him to the conclusion that the
debate on the bill was not on the
question of aid to Britain but on
the delegation of power from Con-
greSS.
Some authorities estimated today
that during this year and the next
two the total cost of leaSe-lend as
Sistance would substantially exceed
S10,000,000,0 Not only Britain, but
any other nations whose defense
the President deems vital to the de-
fenSe of the United States" may
benefit. These may include Greece
and China.
The great bulk OF supplies, how
ever, will go to beleaguered Britain
with all speed possible One au-
thority said the first weapons to
be furnished would be a number of
Navy mosquito boats, 60-mile- an
hour, torpedo-bearing craft, and
probably some submarine chasers.
Plans for delivery to the British
were reported completed and need
ing only the authority of law to
be made effective.
Both types of vessels, it was said.
will be of great value to Britain
in what her officials have termed
the battle of the Atlantic" and in
event of a Nazi invasion attempt.
The second major item in the ad-
miniStration's present plans for
helping the British-plans which
President Roosevelt has been form
ing with cabinet and other advisers
Tor several WeekS-Was reported to
be foodStuffs, release of which the
aid bill specifically authorizes. Ar
rangements for shipping these COM
moditieS were said to have been
perfected by the Secretaries of Agri-
culture, War and Navy.
Apparently the job of transporting
United States-made war equipment
across the ocean will be up to the
British. They may take delivery at
either United States or Canadian
ports, just as they do at present on
the airplanes, guns and other arma-
mentS which they have bought in
this country.
May Release Cargo Boats.
The problem of maintaining maxi
mum cargo capacity against German
air and submarine attacks thus re-
mains vital one for Britain, but
it is expected that a large share of
200 cargo vessels for construction
of which Congress recently provided
funds will be released to her on
leaSe-lend basis Fifty of these ships
are scheduled for completion this
year.
Discussion also is reported con-
tlnuing in official quarters here of
means by which more than 200 for
eign-f1ag vessels tied up in Amer
lean ports may be taken over and
made available to Britain.
AS for transportation of supplies
in ships flying the American flag,
Evening star., 1941-03-10

the British-aid bill specifically
states that nothing in this act
shall be construed to authorize or
permit the authorization of the
entry of any American vessel into a
combat area in violation of section
3 of the Neutrality Act of 1889"
That neutrality section prohibits
American flag ships from entering
combat areas which, under the
Presidents neutrality proclamations,
include all the waters around Eng
land and the Northern European
coast.
The small naval vessels and other
types of munitions to be sent to
the British in the next few weeks
of necessity will come from exist
ing military and naval stores or
those now being built for early
delivery. The bill empowers the
President to release up to $780,
100000 of such equipment.
$4,000, ,0O0, 900 Request Expected.
The other billions which the pro-
gram will require for munitions
manufacture must be requested of
Congress by the President. One au-
thority reported that Mr.. Roosevelt
would ask, within a short time after
signing the bill, for at least S1,000,-
600 900 in cash and ST. 900, 900, 900 in
contract authority.
1t was understood, however, that
some of his advisers had urged
request for larger sums, their rec
concentrations ranging up to S.
900 600, 900 in cash and an additional
S5 900, 900 900 in authority for future
expenditures.
Even among those who fought the
bill to the last ditch in Congress
it was generally predicted that ap-
proval of such financial requests
would be largely routine. The
opponents prepared. therefore, to
carry their speechmaking to the
country.
We've lost battle. but we
haven't lost a war" said Senator
Wheeler, Democrat, of Montana,
one of the opposition leaders. I'VE
are going to carry on the crusade
from one end of this country to
the other to counteract the propa-
ganda that is going to be unloosed
right away for all out aid to
Britain"
Such propaganda and such aid,
Senator Wheeler contended, would
take this nation into war.

Some Londoners regarded the
quickened pace of the raids, con-
centrated on Britain's capital for
two successive nights, as signaling
the start of long predicted full force
spring air siege.
Three Alarms Last Night.
The capital had three alarms last
night-one starting shortly before
nightfall and lasting four hours,
and two short alarms after mid
night
Sections along the south coast
also were bombed and the roar of
planes was heard overhead at scores
of communities from Northeastern
Scotland to South Wales. In many
Of these places, as at Liverpool
which had its longest alarm in two
months, there were no reports of
bombings. Liverpool's anti-aircraft
barrage was credited with beating
back raiders there.
Reports from Southeastern Eng
