107 South Americans
Here for Three Day
Exploration Of Capital
Visiting Students Of U. S.
Civilization to Go TO
Teu at White House

One hundred and seven South
Americans who have completed q
special six-week course in United
States civilization at the University
of North Carolina arrived here today
for busy three-day exploration OF
Washington and its historic en-
virons. Mrs. Roosevelt will enter
tain them at a tea at the White
House at 4:30 pm. tomorrow.
They all indicated that their visit
to North America had accomplished
so much in the way of improving
their understanding of our country
that it was considered likely the
experiment of bringing South
Americans here for special study
would be repeated next year, al
though some institution other than
the University of North Carolina
may offer the course.
Thirty Chileans who. because OF
space limitations, could not be ae-
comodated at North Carolina, have
been studying a similar course at
Columbia University in New York.
The native countries of the men and
women in Washington today are
Argentina. Uruguay, Brazil. Colom-
bia, Ecuador, Peru and Chile. The
visitors are adults and include news
paper editors, college deans and the
director of conservatory Of music.
Visitors See Mount Vernon.
The stay in North Carolina was
arranged jointly by the Pan Ameri-
can Union, the Grace Line, the
American Republics Line and the
Institute of International Education.
Mrs. Tomas Cajigas, chairman
of a committee which has been in
charge of arranging program for
the visitors during their stay here,
met the travellers this morning at
the Burlington Hotel, where buses
took them from Union Station. Mrs.
Cajigas escorted them to Mount Ver-
non, the first stop on their crowded
itinerary.
They plan to lunch in groups ac-
cording to interest-separating the
medical men, the literary men, and
the engineers. This afternoon they
go to the Library of Congress, and
Georgetown University has arranged
a reception for them later. This
evening a special motion picture
will be shown in their honor at
International House under the spon-
sorship of the Foreign Service So
rority and the Foreign Service Fra
ternity of George Washington Uni
verSity.
Wallace TO Receive Them.
Vice President Wallace is to re-
ceive them at the Senate tomorrow
morning following an inspection Of
the National Archives. After a visit
to the Offices of the Senate For
eign Relations Committee, they plan
to call at the Supreme Court and
meet the eight justices. A recep-
ton at Catholic University is
planned for 2:30 pm, followed by
tea at the White House. The Pan
American Union is giving them
reception tomorrow night.
The medical men in the group are
to be taken to the Army Medical
Center Wednesday morning, while
| the engineers call at the Public
Roads Administration. In the mean
time, the BrazilianS and Argentinian
members will be received by DR..
Leo S. Rowe, director general Of the
Pan-American Union.
The Brazilians and Argentinians
were not in Washington in JAN
uary when the others met Or. Rowe.

SEATTLE, June 20.-The Seattle Post-Intelligencer says today the Federal Communications Commis- sion has notified the Pacific Am erican Fisheries, one of the worlds largest salmon packing corporations, that unless Director Earling D. Naess, wealthy fugitive from Nazi occupied Norway, resigns, it will revoke all of the corporations radio licenses.
 The Federal Communications Commission officials said that und- CT the regulations, no. company with an alien as an officer on it's board may receive or hold any authoriza- tion for operation of radio stations.
 The Pacific American Fisheries operates in remote parts of Alaska and uses the radio as sole means of communication between the can neries, the fishing fleets, supply ships and also with Bellingham, Wash, the headquarters of the cor poration.

 Clearing Bill

Would Allow Legislature fo Sci Up Authority
 for Improvements

WASHINGTON, June 20. - The House today passed and sent to the Senate a bill by Delegate Anthony J. Dimond granting the Alaska Leg islature power to create a public corporate authority to undertake slum clearance for low income fam lilies and construct dwellings for per- sons engaged in national defense activities.
 The same power is now held by all State Legislatures and those of Puer- to Rico and Hawaii.
 The Committee on Territories re- ported the need of slum clearance and national defense housing in Alaska and said if the measure is enacted Alaska will be eligible to apply to the U. s. Housing Author ity for assistance in constructing housing. The Federal Works Agency and Interior Department approved passage of the bill.
 A memorial asking Congress to enact such enabling legislation was defeated two months ago.

Drafting Women for

 Revealed Strange Case

Massachusetts regiments in April of 178l. This fellow Shurtleff, it seems, was good soldier and if the colonists in. those days had had time to knock out a lot of medals, he probably would have gotten one. In way, he did get one-but that's getting ahead of the yarn.
 Tt was at the battle of Tarry- town that Shurtleff, in there pitch ing lead as fast as his old muzzle- loader could be stoked and fired got on the receiving end of bull let. His pals carried him out of the battle and back to one of those emergency hospitals. probably in some little farmhouse, and then the Army surgeon discovered he wasn't Robert Shurtleff at all, but Deborah Sampson.
 Deborah must have done lit- tie fast talking, because the Army surgeon kept her secret. She got we'll, rejoined the Army. was with General Washington when Lord Cornwallis surrendered, and was honorably discharged in Novem- Der, 1783.
 Now, to get along to the way Deborah was honored. That year or the next, Deborah married a fellow named Benjamin Gannett And Deborah put in her applica- tion for a pension and got it-$4S year at first and later on, $76.80 She and Benjamin lived together

President Roosevelt Makes Direct Accusation
 Against Reich F0RCEFUL LANGUAGE
 IS USED IN MESSACE
Declares America Will Sail Seven Seas Will Not
 Yield 10 Germany

WASHINGTON. June 20.- President Roosevelt describes the sinking of the American freighter Robin Moor as ruthless act of an 'internation- al outlaw"
 The President declared the United States does not propose to yield the use of the high seas to Germany.
 The President made the pro- n0uncement of the sinking of the American vessel in a spec ial message to Congress today which, permitted sf stronger language than could be used in formal diplomatic note.
 SUNK BY GERMAN SUB
 President Roosevelt stated, without qualification, that the Robin Moor was sunk by German submarine.
 The President said "full separations for losses and dam ages suffered by Amerian Na- tionals will be expected from the German Government
 The President said the Robin Moor went down in the Atlan- tic on May 2l and all of the passengers and crew subse- quently reached safety. The survivors said German sub marine torpedOed and then shelled the ship.
 PURPOSE OF ACT
 The President said the pur- pose of the sinking would ap- pear to be to drive American commerce from the ocean wherever such commerce is considered to be a disadvantage to German designs
 The President, in proposing to outline action in retaliation, apparently chose the vehicle of . special message so he could couch the protest to the sink ing in the most forceful Ian- guage at his command.
 ACTION SHROUDED
 The President did not dis close what steps the Govern ment might be contemplating to protect American merchant vessels on the high seas and 1t is regarded as doubtful If these to give Germany a tip as to steps are made public so as not what to expect. It will not be disclosed, 1t is believed, whether cargo ships will be armed or

WASHINGTON.-Dr. H e rbert Scholz, once Hitlers confidential representative in the German Elm bassy, is now Nazi consul in Bos- ton. Coming to Washington on the train the other day he bumped into an old friend-an American.
 They had known each other for many years and fell to chatting quite frankly about the war.
 "How soon are you going to use convoys?" asked the German con- sul.
 Soon, I hope" replied his friend That means breakin diplomatic relations" replied Scholz. Then he added: "Of course, we expect you to be in the war. We've counted on that. However, in this war, America will never send an expeditionary force. The American people won't stand for that; that's one thing we're sure of."
 T don't see that at all" replied his friend. "Our navy is stronger than ever before. We were able to convoy troop ships in the last war and see no reason why we cannot do it in this war. After all, it was an expe- ditionary force which turned the tide in the last war, wasn't it?"
 The German consul admitted this was true. He seemed upset and asked several times if his friend felt cer- tain that the United States would send an expeditionary force. He kept saying that sentiment in the Middle West wouldn't permit 1t, and came back to the subject frequently
 NOTE.-In diplomatic circles an explanation for the sinking of the Robin Moor is that Germany now figures the United States will come into the war no matter what hap pens, but is confident that no expe- ditionary force will be sent uptil Hitler has administered the final stroke to England.
