How ABOUT including the

1t need not be an expensive
gesture, either, for If you use

YOU can Splurge bit on the ma
terial.
You'll find an almost infinite
assortment of fabrics, both pat

the very latest in window styles,
if you make sewing your hobby
Even if you've never got started
IN the sewing game, you'll find
it easy TO learn.
The vogue for daShing colorS
includes new combinations OF
patterned fabrics that are very
attractive.
For instance, just so long as
plaids and floral cottonS are
color affiuates, they may be
used in combination for drd-
pericS and covered cOrniceS in a
most professional fashion

The narroweSt ruffled tier is
placed AT the top and the four

is twice the width of the top tier.
Another favorite notion IS the

All Foreign Ships Held

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 8.-The Ma
tons largest city last night moved
swiftly and calmly to war footing.
All movements of foreign ship
ping in its giant harbor were halted
all Army and Navy men were
ordered back to their stations and
Mayor F.. H. La Guardia broadcast
an appeal to citizens to remain
calm and be assured that all
necessary precautions are being
taken for your safety"
AS the Coast Guard doubled its
patrols against possible sabotage
patrols were thrown around the
Navy Yard and docks containing

An-Night Vigil Kept
Al Navy Department.;
1000 at Desks
5000 Officers and Men
Ordered Into Uniforms
For Duty in Capitol

The Navy Department kept an all
night vigil in the wake of news that
Japan had attacked the Hawaiian
Islands and declared war on the
United States.
Nearly 1000 officers ard men
fully one-third of the department
personnel-stayed at their desks
throughout the night.
NewSpapermen remained with
them. but little news was given out
at the department. Repeatedly the
word went out that news would come
from the White House.
Secretary Knox snatched a few
hours of sleep after the war cab
met" conference with President
Roosevelt, but his aide, Capt. F. E.
Beatty, and group of high officers
remained at the department all
night.
The last Navy press release before
dawn came at 9:l5 p.m.-a brief
statement that no information had
been received concerning casualties
in the Hawaiian air attacks.
An officer said the commercial
radio was surprisingly close" to
official information.
Marines Join Guard.
The normal force of building
guards was augmented by scores of
marines, some of them watching
the outside gates with fixed bay
onets. Newspapermen were re-
stricted to the first floor.
Most naval officers were as stun
ned as the public at the sudden
japanese attack on the American
territory. Many officers heard the
first reports in their homes, at
country clubs, in restaurants or
automobiles.
Soon after the first reports the
officers began answering telephone
calls. or reporting to the department
without orders. Secretary Knox
went back and forth between the
Navy Department and the White
House.
Newspaper and radio reporters
also began coming from far and
near. and those assigned to the Navy

Department hocked into the small
pressroom. Soon maps were spread,
and new maps went up to augment
those already on the wall Back
ground material on the officers in
charge of the Far East was dug out
of the Navy and reporters own files
and prepared for publication
The Navy Departments Division
of Public Relations at first said 1t
would have nothing to announce,
and that all news must come for the
present from the White House.
Ordered Into Uniform.
Almost as soon as that announce
ment had been made release was
issued that ordered Navy and en-
listed men-some 5000 of them-to
appear in uniform this morning.
Heretofore, civilian clothes had been
worn by those on duty in the de-
partment. Many reserve officers
still do not have their full quota Of
uniforms, and other officers have
theirs in storage. AS one put it:
"There1l be the worst smell of moth
balls around here tomorrow you
ever smelled."
The Navy opened its cafeteria for
convenience of its night workers.
AS reporters settled down for
nights watch. the Navy again broke
its silence-this time to announce
a censorship on all outgoing cable
grams and radio messages from the
United States. Secretary Knox made
an announcement on october Is that
such a move was in the planning
stage.
Long Waits Expected.
Again and again 1t. Comdr. Wal
lace Wharton, chief of the press
section, and Comdr. R. w. Berry.
assistant director of the Division of
Public Relations, emphasized that
all the news being released was to
come from the White House for the
time being When actual details of
the battles became available, it was
indicated, the Navy probably would
assume its usual function of dis
seminating the information.
You'd better tell your Offices to
make plans for you to get some sleep
now and then" said one press officer
to reporter. This thing isn't going
to be over in day, or night, and
there is going to be a lot OF round
the-clock stuff"

Tokyo Newspaper
Says Panama Canal
To Be Closed Soon

TOKYO. May 7. (UP)-The news
paper Nichi Nichi quoted reports
today that the Panama Canal woulc
be closed within 10 days for an in
definite period.
Attributing the report, which it
said was unconfirmed, to an Osaka
shipping firm, Nichi Nichi said it
had originated at San Francisco.
It added that a Tokyo shipping
company had received the same re-
port from New York via Shanghai
The alleged closure plan repeatedly
was due to fears of an attack by
German submarines.
WAR DEPARTMENT
DENIES RUMORS
WASHINGTON, May 7. UP)-
The war department said today it
plans to keep the Panama canal
open for commercial traffic and
that no orders have been issued
regarding closing the canal.
Officials said there is consider
able construction work in progress
at the canal and this may cause
occasional temporary shutdowns or
slowing of traffic Such re-routing
occurs occasionally, it was pointed
out.
The state department said it had
not heard Of reported shutdown
of the canal.
Secretary Of Navy Frank Knox
said such reports represent "some
more backstairs gossip"

DOING WRONG
Sally Doesn't Keep Promise

She had diverted her audience
lust in time-they hadn't yet thrown
their pants at her. To her out
stretched arms, rushed score or
more of Shirtless or coatleSS fresh
men, and more were scuffling Wig
orously to get onto the stage.
When the dancing palled and
some in the audience reminded her
of her bargain, she asked they what
they would like to sing. After Fair
Harvard" Miss Rand said she was
thrilled by Harvard men and the
curtain fell.
She went out the stage door and
several hundred freshmen went out
the front, looking for her. They
halted automobiles, buses, street
cars, tied up traffic in Harvard
Square, shouting over and over
again: 1--WE want Sally without her
fan"
Police arrived, then more police.
There was much scuffling. Finally
the Harvard boys were driven into
Harvard Yard.
All in all it was an exciting eve-
ming for Miss Rand. She left the
night club where she is appearing
to GO to the freshmen smoker. Mas
sachusetts Institute OF Technology
students had a station wagon at
the curb and, without ceremony
pushed her into it and drove off
She was carried bodily into Burton
Hall at the institute, perched on
a table, surrounded by students in
bathrobes and pajanas who had
been having quiz party. The main
idea was to keep her away from
Harvard freshmen. The lights went
out. Miss Rand shouted: Let's be
the gentlemen like know you are.
The NIT boys, finding such an ap-
peal resistable, escorted her at once
to the theater and her Harvard
admirers.

Price Controller
Advocates Boost
In Tax on Autos

WASHINGTON, May Z. UP)-
Price Control Administrator Leon
Henderson today advocated in
creasing the federal excise tax on
automobiles to 20 per cent-nearty
six times the present rate-and all
extension of that tax to be used
cars as we'll as new models.
He hoped that because of the
prime necessity of out-producing
Hitler" estimated defense eXpendl-
lures of $12,00O,OOO for the fiscal
year beginning July may be in
creased to "at least $18,000,000,0 900
and probably $4,000, 900, ,00O.'
Henderson told the house ways
and means committee that sucn
articles as automobiles and refrig-
orators compete with defense pro-
duction and that high taxes on
them are justified both to reduce
public purchases Of these goods and
to raise more revenue. He would
raise $900O00,0OO instead of the
$200,000,000 in new excise levieS
proposed by the treasury.
The treasury has recommended
doubling the existing 3la per cest
tax on cars.

Wihkie May Head
Agency to Awaken
America 10 Crisis

WASHINGTON, May 7 UP)-
Wendell L.. Willkie was being dis
cussed today as the possible head
of a new government agency which
some administration officials want
to create to build up national morale
and TO overcome what they con-
slider the public's complacency
about the defense and British-aid
programs.
Officials said such an agency
would have the same general OBJ
jectives as the world war committee
on public information headed by
George Creel, although it would
not necessarily take the same form
One of those said to favor such
an organization is Harry l.. Hop
kins, director of the lend-lease pro-
gram. He and other administration
officials believe that the public gen.
orally must be made to feel it is
participating in defense efforts.
Wllkie in recent months has been
urging Republicans, as well as DEM
ocrats, to give full support to the
administrations defense efforts and
its foreign policy He is expected
TO continue that theme tonight be-
fore New York mass meeting
sponsored by the Committee TO De-
fend America by Aiding the Allies.

Hunting Season
Bill Approved by
Senate Committee

SACRAMENTO, May 7 CUP)-
The senate fish and game commit
tee today had given do pass" rec
ommendation to an assembly joint
resolution by Sam l.. Heisinger of
Fresno, memorializing the depart
ment of the interior to establish
two migratory wild fowl hunting
seasons in California.
Seasons dates and the dividing
line between northern and southern
districts in which hunting would
be permitted at different times
were left to discretion of the de-
partment.
The committee also gave do
pass" recommendations to lVlls by
Assemblyman Fred Weybret max
ing trapping of wild boar illegal in
Monterey county and PERMITTING
use of drift gill, set gill, purse and
round hauls nets in that part of
fish and game district 16 lying
north and west of line from the
light on the end of the Monterey
breakwater due east to the shore
line.
A bill by Assemblyman Randall
F.. Dickey of Alameda, repeating
and re-enacting sections of the
fish and game code dealing with
legislation for portions of districts
was held over pending amendment.
A constitutional am n d m e n t
adopted last year authorized legis-
lation for portions of districts but
did not ratify previous provisions
with that intent. Previously, the
state supreme court held such legis-
lation unconstitutional in an
Orange county case.
After brief discussion, the COM
mittee also laid over until next
week fish screen bill by Senator
Herbert w. Slater of Sonoma coun-
ty, and others.

Auditors in Check
Of Relief Books as
New Fund Asked
BY JOHN w. DUNLAP

SACRAMENTO. May 7 (UP)-
Private auditors today began an
investigation of state relief admin
istration books to determine if
funds are needed for unemployment
relief benefits until June 80.
The state assembly social welfare
and institutions committee had rec
commended passage of S650,00
appropriation bill to supply funds
for the SRA until May 80. although
Gov. Culbert Olson had asked an
appropriation OF S2,575 900 for the
remainder of the two month period.
The legislatures joint relief fact
finding committee expressed doubt
that much money was needed and
ordered the accounting firm OF
Price. Waterhouse g. Co. to audit
the records. Olson said if an i'm
mediate ALLEGATION was not made,
the SRA would be forced to suspend
operations this Saturday.
The social welfare and i/titu-
tions committee sent an amended
bill to the assembly ways and
means committee which must pass
on all appropriation measures. If
the bill is sent to the assembly
floor by the latter group and then
passed to the senate, the figure
probably will be amended again
to meet the findings of the audit
Ralph j. Wakefield, acting SRA
director, appeared before the social
welfare committee at special meet
ing last night and testified the
SRA now had s694,000 on hand
and was doling out about $4,000
daily.
The load as of May l, he
said. was 38,364, receiving average
monthly payments of S48 each.
There. are 2,468 employees.
Wakefield attributed failure of
the case-load to show large de-
crease from $4,000 on the rolls last
December to WPA layoffs, and pro-
longed rains which delayed agricul-
tural employment.
