If the Germans are successful
however. il may mean either that
Hess has refused TO talk AT all or
that Hitler. suspeCting him,

this could not have been done in
the few days since Hess Surrcnd-

must have been going on for weeks
probably ever since the Greek
peninsula was evacuated.
Such preparations would nor

and therefore if il is found that
the Anglo Greek forces were pre-

indicate that Hess disclosed the

NEW YORK, June 14.-Mayor
F. H. La Guardia, national civilian
defense director, yesterday called
on the women of America to enroll
in training courses in first-aid and

hospital facilities would be provided
in smaller centers which did not
have such institutions.
No Plans to Evacuate Children.
Mr.. La Guardia said there were
no plans under immediate consid-
Grafton for evacuation of children.
Personally" he said, Il doubt
the need for it. but no one can
venture to say what might happen
In this terrible war
He said that instead of separate
womens and mems divisions in the
air raid service, it was his plan to
develop one division composed of
men and women.
He explained it was not the pur-
pose OF the civilian defense Office
to supplant existing State and local
defense councils, but rather to bring
about uniform procedure.
Purpose Entirely Precautionary.
The mayor said the purpose was
entirely precautionary.
Il grant you that unless the Brit
ish fleet is destroyed and England
CONQUERED and our fleet riddled. and
we lose some of our outpost bases.
We will not be subjected to sustained
and repeated long attacks such as
the cities Of Britain have had" he
said.
But if our country should be in
volved in an emergency which will
require that we protect our shores,
you may be sure that our cities may
be subjected to short surprise air
attacks. We must be prepared to
handle that situat ton. if it comes"
Mrs. John L. Whitehurst of Balti-
more. president of the General Fed
Grafton of Womens' Clubs, told the
conference women of the nation
must unite in thought and action
so that an adequate national defense
program may be developed"

during the sinking of the vessel.
Norman Sandelin, Richmond
(Va) engineer, said the submarine
was about IL miles off in choppy
sea when first sighted. The sub
marine signaled the ship with
lights, he added.
Mr.. Sandelin said "the commander
Of the submarine made sure there
was no sailor on the vessel" before
he began shelling the ship. The
submarine, he said, was about 200
yards from the lifeboats during the
shelling
William Cary of Delmar, N. Y,
boatswain, said that after 1914 days
at sea in a lifeboat, he and all other
survivors we're "in tiptop shape"
He said that because the submarine
commander told us he was going to
send aid, we took it easy and laid
around the first few days"
The Executive Committee OF
Fight for Freedom, Inc, comment
ing on the sinking, urged:
"d) Immediate shooting of any
Axis U-boat which the American
Navy sights; C2) repeal of the So
called Neutrality Act; 90 occupa-
ton of all Atlantic islands strategic

Mechanized Division
Will See Action in

Tactics for Stopping
Tanks to Be Tested
In Next Two Weeks
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
WITH THE ARMY IN TENNES.
SEE, June 1.-THE only way to
stop tanks is with tanks" a high
ranking Army officer declared to-
day, as the Nations prize armored
force prepared to send one of its
new mechanical divisions into large
scale maneuvers for the first time.
The tank division headed north
from Fort Benning, Cats 1000
men handling 1000 armored vehicles
to participate in the war games
next week.
The next two weeks should help
the Army to experiment with tactics
for stopping tanks as we'll as provide
a real opportunity for finding out
how the armored forces react under
battle conditions with other troops"
said the officer, an authority on anti
tank defense, who asked anonymity.
He outlined the standard defenses
such as 81 nm, IS nm. and los
nm. anti-tank guns, land mines, gas,
f1amethrowers and tank traps
OF course, we can actually use
few of these in maneuvers." the
officer said. Since the others will
have to be simulated, the umpires
will actually have to be the ones
to keep the tanks from completely
overwhelming the infantry and field
artillery
The tanks move about 25 to 80
miles an hour and their scout cars
and other vehicles about 40 miles
an hour, and they would run away
with maneuvers if the umpires
didn't slow them down with simu-
lated obstacles, such as gunfire, gas
and the like"
The three divisions. the 5th. 9th
and 30th, are expected to take turns
fighting with and against the I'd
Mechanical Division.
Bullets can't be fired. so I doubt
that two new anti-tank defenses
will be tried-employing field ar
tillery pieces in graduated waves
and the new 81 nm. anti-tank gun
and other secret weapons reported
to be in experimental stage" the
anti-tank expert said.

PrepOsterOus Status.
If, therefore, Hitler cannot be de-
pended upon, as implied by Dar-
lan's statement, to observe such rules
and laws in dealing with the con-
quered, how much less can he be
depended upon to show the least
consideration in these vital respects
should the conquered peoples pros
trate themselves before him and
bestow upon him unrestrained
license to deal as he may see fit
with their lives. their liberties. and
their entire future welfare.
1t remains to be seen whether the
French people accept this prepos-
ferrous status and thus pave the way
for them to find themselves assisting
Hitler as mis- co-belligerents in his
desperate effort TO conquer Great
Britain and secure control of the
high seas.
In the prevention of such a pos
sibility, both the French people and
the people of the United States have
common interest of tremendous
Importance to the future.

bdSSador Henry-Haye on the
statement OF Secretary OF State
Hull concerning the Vichy goU-
ernment tollolDS:
can only express my surprised
disappointment at the new inter-
probation given by the Secretary OF
State of the events now taking place
in the French-mandated territory
of the Near East.
From the official communique
issued by the British forces which
have invaded Syria and Lebanon, it
appears clearly that no land, naval
or air forces belonging to the Axis
powers have been encountered.
Moreover, the French government
has reafflrmed. over and over again,
that our armies were alone to as
sure the defense of the territories
placed under French protection.
Facing a New Attack.
French, LebaneSe, Syrian and en-
pire soldiers who are fighting with
heroic abnegation are fighting for
France they love all the more
since their ever proud country is
now, in spite of her distress, facing
new attack.
1t is precisely, in order to keep
up French traditions and all that
they stand for, in the world, that
our soldiers are once more gen.
erously shedding their blood after
so many sacrifices already con-
sented. Furthermore, they defend
countries where ever since the re-
mote times of the Crusades, French
language and culture have been
closely associated with the life of
their inhabitants.
France Behind Petain.
The leaders who are now devot-
ing themselves to the task-un-
precedented in our history-to bring
about the resurrection of the French
nation and to protect the popula-
tions of her. empire, know better
than any one else where their duty
lies. Many times they have pledged
themselves to accomplish it with
honor.
1t is quite unnecessary to wait
any longer to see that the people
of France are following the course
decided upon by the government of
Marshal Petain. Frenchmen stand
united behind the leader whom they
worship because his long life Is a
life of righteousness which has
always been inspired by the purest
patriotism.
