Steve Rawson sat comfort
ably but discontentedly in his
big car. AS it slid to a stop
in front of the Union Station,
he sighed and was about to
open the door, when a bat
tered little jalopy suffered 10
a standstill almost under his
nose.
Rawson's young, colored
chauffeur looked indignant.
This wasn't the kind of outfit
TO rub elbows with his car.
nor the shabby man in il the
kind TO stare Familiarity at
his employer.
But Rawson was staring
back, into a fattish, saggy
face, with a good-natured
droop to the wide easy mouth
and deep burrows running up
on either side of a slightly
Dubious nose TO mild deep-set
pale gray eyes. 1t was face
full of humor and kindness
and recognition had just
pumped into il, radiating the
countless little lines OF a
smile.

So what? What's the Proper Procedure for
a Broken Heart?
I'm thinking particularly of people
over 35. Before that life carries you along
by its own momentum. You're hurt. You
cry out-rave. But the story is still new,
and you're curious. Filled with natural
egotism, too and self-confdence. You don't
want to stop.
But by 35 you're apt to be fed up
You've had a good many bad breaks.
You've grown cautious-lazy, too. What's
the use of going on? Is life worth it?
You wonder. And life volunteers no
answers-offers no lures-as it did 10 years
before. Its-up to you now. What's your
answer?
Here you are, on spot. How'll you
take il? Being human and little weary
you'll want to take it lying down-as
comfortably as possible. Or play safe.

Presbyterians Delay
Definite Merger Action
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 28-Definite
action to unite all branches of the
Presbyterian Church was delayed
by the General Assembly of the
Presbyterian Church in the United
States of America today pending a
further study of the problems Of
union.
The assembly, however, author

mittees to confer with similar

sible uniflcation of various branche:
of work divided since their Civil
War split.
Looking toward ultimate union
also with the Protestant Episcopal
Church. assembly members were
told they may forward the process
of union by fellowshiping and
worshiping with members of the
Protestant Episcopal Church"
The assembly went on record yes
terday as favoring aid to Britain
short of war, but approved a recon-
mendation recording its conviction
that much more is to be gained in
meeting the needs of the world by
America remaining free from mil
itary participation in the present
conflict"

against Britain's sea power, the
newspaper said:
"Battleships in Jade Bay cannot
contribute anything toward beating
the enemy down. They have to get
out onto the high seas and expose
themselves to the viciSsitudes of
naval warfare. Only through at
tack can results against England be
obtained, regardless of whether this
is in the form of merchant warfare
or clashes with hostile naval forces"
World War Inaction Hit.
This statement apparently was di-
rected against the conduct of naval
warfare during World War days
when, contrary to Germany's pres
ent naval strategy, the large Ger
man high seas fleet, with the excep-
ton of a few encounters between
German and British naval forces,
was kept idle at Kiel Harbor and
Jade Bay.
The years of idleness to which the
German Navy was subjected then
also has been held by some sources
as responsible for the outbreak Of
the German revolution In 1918 In
which Kiel sailors played q leading
role.

House Hearings SET
Tomorrow on D. T..
Budget
S8,050, 328 for Regular,
$35,200 for Defense
Needs to Be Discussed

Hearings are to start tomorrow
morning on the Districts $8,085 ,628
public welfare budget before the
subcommittee on the District appro-
priation bill
This includes $s,050 1913 submitted
at the opening of the session In
the budget message and an addi-
tional S35, 300 in the defense
budget" of supplemental items sub
mitted last week The subcommit-
tee is not holding any hearings
today because several members are
engaged with the subcommittee on
the War Department appropriation
bill.
Chairman Mahon of Texas said
he does not expect to complete
hearings this week and hopes to
be able to hear citizens spokesman
Monday. He feels sure that the
District appropriation bill cannot be
reported to the House next week.
The tremendous growth of Dis
trict appropriations due to the de-
tense program, with particular en-
phasis on health problems, en-
crossed the attention of the sub
committee yesterday when officials
of, the Health Department and the
judges of the Juvenile, Police and
Municipal Courts had their hearing
The increases asked for Gallinger
Hospital and the proposal for q new
Northwest health center especially
interested the subcommittee, Chair
man Mahon said. He pointed out
that the appropriations asked for
Gallinger Hospital total more than
81 100000, which is more than one
third of all the money asked for
the Health Service in the District.
The proposal for d new health
center, at a cost not to exceed
$4,000, he indicated, received SYM
pathetic consideration. The prob
lem of combating social diseases.
he said, is receiving consideration
following the presentation of DR..
George c. Rutland, the District
health officer. The defense budget"
calls for an increase of $500 for
laboratory personnel and other ex-
penses for medical inspection in
schools, the Bureau of tuberculosis

Disease Control.

Germany Mourns Loss
OF BottIeship Bismarck

BERLIN, May 28 (R.-Germany
mourned today the loss of the battle
ship Bismarck, one of the two most
formidable naval units she ever
launched, but the people were told
1t was better to dare the risks of
sea warfare in a fight to win than
to wait in port.
Meanwhile, German planes were
sent to avenge the Bismarck sink
ing.
Mourned, too, were Fleet Com
mander Admiral Guenther Luetjens
and the BiSmarck's officers and
crew, all of whom apparently died
SO far as was known hereafter
Admiral Luetjens' last message
early yesterday.
CThe Bismarck is believed to
have carried a complement of
between 1900 and $500 officers
and men,
The tenor of newspaper editorials
today was: 1.-THE Bismarck Is lost,
but the fight against England
goes on"
Sinking Held Accident.
The press emphasized that the
Bismarck was sunk by numerically
superior British forces, and the
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung de-
clared:
But even such superior forces
would have been unable to defeat
the Bismarck had it not been for
the accidental effect of an aerial
torpedo, damaging the ships pro-
peller and steering mechanism"

command in sending the $1,000 ton
battleship out into the Atlantic,

Ambassador Winanf
Leaves England on
Trip 10 Washington
American Envoy Expects
To Return to London
After Seeing Roosevelt

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 28.-United States
Ambassador John G. Winant left
England today en- route to WASH
ington to see President Roosevelt.
He expects to return here within two
weeks
CMr. Winant arrived in Lisbon,
Portugal, by plane this after
noon. He will take off for New
York aboard clipper tomorrow
Mr.. Winant was accompanied by
Benjamin Cohen, economic adviser
at the United States Embassy. Mr..
Cohen Is expected to remain in the
United States for some time longer
than Mr.. Winant before returning
to London.
A statement from the Embassy
said:
THE American Ambassador has
left England on short trip to the
United States to see the President,
Secretary of State and others. He
plans to be back In England In a
fortnight"
Mrs. Winant did not accompany
her husband.
Gets Copy Of Speech.
Before leaving London early this
morning Mr.. Winant said 1t had
been generally expected that he
would return to the United States
and report to the President, and
added: This is the trip"
1t was reported authoritatively
That Mr.. Winant decided definitely
to return and make his report when
he heard the news of the sinking of
the British battle cruiser Hood last
Saturday.
The Ambassador did not hear his
Presidents speech, received here by
radio during the night, but just be-
fore leaving he was handed a COPY
from the United States Embassy.
He told friends he planned to
study the speech during his trip by
plane.
The British furnished him with q
special plane in which he went from
London to the landing field, where
ne met Mr.. Cohen and departed
from England.
Advised Of Hazards.
Mr.. Cohen had accompanied him
when he first arrived here to take I'D
his duties as Ambassador.
The Ambassador was advised that
the plane trip from England might
be hazardous because of the num-
Der OF German planes operating over
the sea as result of the battle in
which the Nazi battleship Bismarck
was sunk yesterday.
Mr.. Winant was not deferred by
this, contending the urgency of the
moment called for an immediate re-
port to the President and Secretary
of State Cordell Hull.
Mr.. Winant will fly to New York
by clipper from Lisbon.

the fleeing Bismarck $50 miles west
of Lands End, England.
Planes Take Up Patrol.
Low-fying airplanes quickly took
up a patrol off the Norwegian fjords
to spot the Prinz Eugen If she had
turned back there.
Released from the GORDON that
caught the Bismarck, warships
turned to the new hunt, aided by
planes from the decks of the aircraft
carriers Ark Royal and Victorious,
which played an important part in
harrying and Gripping the Bis
marck.
Observers said at least 40 planes
from these two carriers alone would
be available for the search. Thus
the Ark Royal continued her role as
a vengeful ghost for the Germans,
who often have reported wrecking
or sinking the 22,000-ton cruiser.
Reports that the newer $4,000 ton
Victorious was in action were the
first accounts that she had been
placed in active service.
CThere was no mention, either
from London or Berlin, of any
other ships in the squadron which
Fleet Commander Admiral Guen-
ther Luetjens led from aboard

Dependent on Tirpitz.
British sources expressed belief the
German ships left Bergen on a
specific hunt for conveys carrying
vital war supplies across the North
Atlantic.
The Daily Telegraph commented
meanwhile that with the Bismarck
sinking Germany was left depend
ent on her sistership Tirpitz, il
that vessel is in service, for battle
ship which could challenge our own. u
The Daily Express said that the
Hood loss to us was grave, but to the
smaller Hun Navy loss of their big
gest battleship is irreparable."
The Board of the Admiralty con-
graduated the fleet today on the
sinking of the Bismarck and said
that had 1t not been for the gal
lantry, skill and devotion" of the
fleet air arm "our object might not
have been achieved"
