British Navy Holding
OFF Invasion, Shafroth
Tells Reserves Here
Officers Urged to Hold
Selves in Readiness
For Mobilization

1t is the British Navy that Is hold
ing back Hitlers projected invasion
of England, and as long as the sea
forces Of John Bull are in control
the British Isles are safe, Capt.
John F. Shafroth, U. s. N, director
Of the United States Naval Reserve,
told the District of Columbia Chap
ter of the United States Naval Re
serve Officers' Association at a
meeting in the Washington Hotel
last night.
While he said rapidly changing
conditions prevented any one from
telling when there would be a COM
plete mobilization OF the Naval Re-
serve. Capt. Shafroth urged the
Reserve off1cers to prepare for such
a step so they would be immediate
ly available to perform their tasks
as soon as modified. He added that
the Navy would not wait until the
guns actually blazed to call in the
officers, but If war became inevitable
the mobilization pace would be in
creased.
While he could not tell imme-
diately, he said, what the oppor-
tunity would be for Reserve officers
now entering the service to remain
in the Regular Establishment, be-
cause Congress has not given any
authority, he pointed out that the
proposed fleet expansion would re-
quire many more officers than the
Naval Academy can supply for
years to come.

Tobey Says QuayIe
Lied al Senate Quiz
Of Campaign Funds
Charges Democratic
Aide Sought TO Leod
Committee 'Astroy'
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Tobey. Republican, of
New Hampshire charged today that
Oliver A. Quayle, jr., manager of the
Democratic National Committee
had lied brazenly and unhesi-
tatingly" to the Senate Campaign
Expenditures Committee about GER
tain financial transactions OF his
party.
Senator Tobey made the assertion
in an individual supplemental re-
port, as member of the commit
tee. Chairman Gillette, Democrat,
of Iowa said that Senator Tobeys
report had been formally filed and
would be published soon. along with
the committee majority report,
which has not yet been released.
There can be no longer any
doubt" Senator Tobey's report said,
that he tQuayle) sought to lead
the committee astray in it's investi-
cation. The committee should
seriously consider the advisability
Of Furnishing him for contempt for
not forwarding all the documents
requested and for perjury"
Changed His Testimony.
Senator Tobey's reference was to
the committees investigation of
loans aggregating 100000 by r. j.
Reynolds, North Carolina cigarette
manufacturer, to the New Jersey
and New York Democratic State
Committee last fall. Mr.. Reynolds
was named treasurer of the Demo-
cratic National Committee last
month.
Senator Tobey declared that tes-
timony by Mr.. Quayle and Mr.. Rey-
noldS had been "diametrically op-
posed" regarding circumstances of
the loan to the New Jersey and New
York committees, and that when
Mr.. Quayle was recalled he saw fit
to change his views"
Mr.. Quayle originally testified
Senator Tobey said, that he first
suggested the loans in a telephone
call to Mr.. Reynolds. Later, SEN
ator Tobey recounted. Mr.. Reynolds
told the committee he did not dis
cuss the loans with Mr.. Quayle until
after the campaign ended.
Then Senator Tobey stated when
Mr.. Quayle was called back before
the committee he had seen fit to
change his views In the interim"
and corroborated Mr.. Reynolds ver-
sion: That the loan was arranged bv
Wayne johnson. chairman of the
Finance Committee Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee. Mr.
Quayle was the partys treasurer at
the time.
Sees Hatch Act Violation.
Senator Tobey said that Mr..
Quayle had testified that the Rev
nolds loans were solicited In order
that the New Jersey and New York
committees might pay for campaign
broadcasts by President Roosevelt
and Senator Norris, independent, of
Nebraska, radio time for which the
national committee already had
contracted.
Otherwise, Senator Tobey said tes-
tlmony showed, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee might have ex-
ceeded the 100000 expenditure
nmlt set by the Hatch Act.

President Roosevelt, the Smith

The institution has named an oc-

octopus Roosevelt, the Smith

Stop Signs

Complaint is heard that stop signs at GER
tain intersections not protected by signal lights
are being ignored by many motorists with
tho result that collisions and side-swipes are
needlessly frequent.
The Stars informant believes that the chief
offenders are new arrivals, here in connection
with the defense activities, and that such a
warning as this will be sufficient to put them
on guard and cause them to be more watchful
for the diamond-shaped sign boards saying
'stop' in railroad Gothic letters about four
feet above the ground.
Perhaps these new residents need some re-
hinder, but the old timers are far from guilt
less. The fact is this imperative NINA
to drivers to pause a moment and be sure
the crossing is clear for their passage before
venturin9 on, a,e more notable for breach
than observance. And it may well be that
drivers are not wholly to blame.
For example, an auto parked in front OF a
sign completely blots it from the sight OF
it is supposed to affect. This might
be overcome by forbidding parking in front
of the signs, but parking space is already at
such a premium that any further restrictions
would be intolerable.
The signs might gain effectiveness if they
were elevated to greater height from the street
level. Perhaps they would then attract the
of drivers. Al least their constant
visibility would place full responsibility for
disobedience squarely on the shoulders of the
offenders.
Another means of encouraging wider obedi-
ence at stop crossings would be to paint the
command on the street itself in letters large
enough to occupy the full width Of the half
street whose traffic it would affect. This, too,
would leave the offender no loophole for
escape from responsibility.
And while the subject of street sign-painting
is under discussion, it seems appropriate to
note that parking lines are very faint in many
downtown blocks. And when, we pause to
wonder, will CROSSINGS be painted to designate
parking stalls 10 put an end to an all too
familiar and exasperating fact of one auto &C.
cupying sufficient space for two?

Good News

1t is important news to the whole of south
eastern North Carolina that the soil research
laboratory is to remain in New Hanover coun-
ty, and that DR.. l.. G. Willis is still at its
head. When R. M. Salter, director Of the
states experiment stations, made the an
noCncement at a meeting of the Farmers
club there must have been a sigh of relief
from each of the 80 or more members pre-
sent. For there had been rumors that the
laboratory would be closed, or moved else
where, and all the gains from its continued
operation lost.
No layman can hope to appraise the true
value of this station or the benefits it has
brought to the truck farmers in this region.
But it is a fact that everybody can appreciate
and understand that without its services the
farmers would still be wondering why their
lettuce was not up to par and why the yield
in other vegetables was below standard in
quality and quantity.
With the palnstaking and expert advice OF
Doctor Willis, and with laboratory reports to
work from, it has been possible to build and
rebuild soil so effectively that New Hanover
county truck crops are now we'll above aver
age in both quantity and quality and the
variety of vegetables grown increased.
Because Of these results, with the consequent
Improvement in the agricultural situation from
the crop viewpoint, Mr.. Salter told the as
sembled farmers at Wrightsboro that the labo-
ratory lis worth all the money put into it
and that as long as he is in charge Of this
branch of the states activities it will not be
moved. We take it that the state, which is
benefited by the work already done and will
benefit by the laboratory's future operations,
has made a wise decision.

Assistance Welcome

The army's position on welfare activities at

TO be stationed at Camp Davis, it seems adv1s
able to quote these communications. Doctor
Moody writes:
We understand that chaplains, with the
consent Of the commanding officers are
at liberty and are even encouraged to
invite into camps and posts duly accredlt-
ed ministers to render what assistance
they may. And this also applies to welfare
agencies.
This question is asked because the re-
sponsibiity Of chaplains has been interpret
ed alike by some chaplains and some
churches to mean "sole and exclusive re-
sponsibility,' which is our understanding,
is it not?
To which General Marshall replies:
You are quite correct in the understand
ing that chaplains are encouraged to in
vite accredited clergymen from nearby
communities to assist in religious and well
fare activities at army stations. We are
anxious to establish the closest possible
contact between civilian and military re-
ligious representatives. This is equally
true with respect to welfare and morale
agencies. These agencies, acting in a per-
fectly normal way, will be Of great help
to out chaplains and recreation officers,
who will welcome the assistance OF their
representatives in carrying out our morale
program.
Apparently the fact that we have not
authorized these welfare activities to To-
cate their OWN centers at army camps
has caused some misunderstanding Of our
policy in this connection. Except for the
American Red Cross, which concerns it.
self primarily with the family problems
of enlisted men, and which maintains for
it's representatives a small field office at
each large station, this authority has been
withheld because it Is preferable to re-
tain in the army the actual responsibility
for morale and recreation.
These letters remove any fear that ma,
lave existed that community cooperation il
and kindred matters at army station!
would not be an acceptable contribution t.

Life Is Discussed
In the Lesson-Sermon

"Life' was the subject Of the
lesson : sermon in all Christian
Science churches and societies yes

The Golden Text: Revelations
21:6, z. II will give unto him that
is athirst of the fountain Of the
water of life freely. He that over
cometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God, and he shall
be my son."
Among the citations which COM
prised the lesson-sermon were the
following from the Bible: God
that made the world and all things
therein, seeing that he is Lord of
heaven and earth, dWelleth not in
temples made with hands; Neither
is worshipped with mems hands,
as though he needed any thing.
seeing he giveth to all life, and
breath, and all things; For in him
we live, and move, and have our
being" (Act II: "a, Is, % to-.
The lesson-sermon also includ-
ed the following passages from the
Christian S cience textbook,
Science and Health with Key to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy. Life is without beginning
and without end. Eternity, not
time, expresses the thought of Life,
and time is no part Of eternity.
One ceases in proportion as the
other is recognized. Time is finite;
eternity is forever infinite. Life is
neither in nor of matter. What is
termed matter is unknown to Spirit
which includes in itself all SUBJ
stance and if Life eternal. Matter
is a human concept. Life is divine
Mind. Life is not limited. Death
and fniteness are unknown to

would also have an ending"

Churchill Speaks

Winston Churchips address before the Glas-
COW City Councillors was in his customary
vigorous, truthful style, from which the British
people have been wont to gather courage and
with which the great prime minister has whip
ped together a war machine of unexampled
power against a stronger foe. He held out
no rosy hopes of an easy victory, and little
cheer in the cruel months ahead. But what
ever the suffering, we shall not fail mankind
in this turning point of its fortunes"
But there were three items in this GLASGOW
address which focus general attention on this
side of the Atlantic above all other matters
Mr.. Churchill discussed. Primarily, and this
is Of vast importance, he told us that Britain
would need no troops in 1871. What can Sena-
tor Wheeler and his ilk, who proclaim that
President Roosevelt is leading us into war,
mot step by step but leap by leap say to
that? How can the isolationists deal with that
fiat statement? Surely they must see that
participation in the conflict, as actual con-
testants, is at best a remote contingency, and
not in any way what they have been claiming.
But, if England has no lack of soldiers tor
its battle, she needs more and more American
aid-'far more American weapons, ships and
Rirplanes-to assure victory over the Axis.
Britain will pay for what it buys as long as
it can, but there will not be enough dollars
for everything and America must be prepared
to extend necessary credits in one form or
another, accept pledges in such things as Eng.
land has to barter with, for what cannot be
settled for in cash. With the case so plainly
stated, and with recognition that our security
depends upon Britain's victory in the war.
the administrators bill now before congress
should receive quick approval, that the lob
it proposes to do for the defense of Democracy
not merely of the United States-may be
started at full speed ahead.
The third item Of particular significance in
MIR. Churchilps address was his reference to
the probable absorption of Italy by Nazi Ger.
many. Discussing the Nazi occupation of Eu.
ropean countries, the premier listed Austria,
Czechoslovakia, Poland, Norway, Denmark,
Holland, Belgium, France, and added, land
presently perhaps Italy" The thought that
Hitler would take over./ Mussolini's country
