WASHINGTON, June IA - Visi- tors to Washington n-under-unlimit- emergency almost invariably mutter All is confusion"
 I have written about the growth of the capital city under national defense before, but it is continu- ing story, becoming more amazing each day and month.
 It is something Washingtonians eat and sleep. It is more general topic of conversation than the war or weather And it is not surpris- ing that this is true or that the casual visitor thinks this city of utter confusion.
 Since the census was taken last year, it is estimated that Washing ton has increased it's population 10 percent or almost 10000 per- sons. This does not take into con- sideration the thousands who have settled in the suburban towns in Maryland and Virginia-Alexan- dria. Arlington, Chevy Chase, Beth esda, Silver Spring and others. It doesn't take into consideration the thousands of new visitors-persons who have discovered a new inter- est in government and want to see how the whole shebang works; relatives and friends of the num- berless new defense workers; busi-

 and Mediterranean

LONDON, June 14.-The British Admiralty announced today that British submarines in the Mediter- ranean have sunk seven enemy vessels and torpedoed three others in far-reaching forays which carried the undersea craft even into Ger man. Italian controlled harbors.
 Vessels sunk included an Italian armed trawler and the two schoon- CTS it was escorting.
 A loaded supply ship of about l. GOO tons, two schooners and large supply lighter were torpedoed in an Agean Sea harbor, the Admiralty said.
 Other vessels torpedoed included an 8,000-ton tanker which was al most certainly sunk; 5,200-ton Strombo which was reported to have reached Istanbul seriously damaged and an armed merchan cruiser lying in the harbor at Bengazi.

Russian Premier Playing Waiting Game in De-
 mands by Hitler
S0v!ETS MAY GIVE
 IN WITHOUT FIGHT
Aftermath of Great Con- Iiet, However, Is Upris-
 ina by Communists

BERN, Switzerland, June IA High stakes in the international game of bluff with Hitler, who is demanding economic benefits in the Ukraine, Josef Stalin, Premier of Soviet Russia, is playing a waiting game, unwilling to fight.
 The situation is described by Swiss sources and underlying persistent reports of the serious situation in the present Soviet-Nazi tension.
 The journal De Geneye, which has authoritative international contacts, today declared Germany wants &C., cess to the Ukraine and the right to direct wartime production of the great bread basket of southwest Russia and the grain and cattle producing steppes, twice as large as Texas, state of the United States of America.
 Stalin is trying to dodge the de- mands, the journal de Geneve says, and freely predicts that Stalin will give in, if necessary, to avert a break with Germany.
 The journal says Stalin still en- visions "a general Communist revo- lution in Europe which is prostrat- ed by the horrors of bombardments and famine"

BRITISH PUSH FRENCH BACK AT DAMASCUS
Sec. Hull Issues Statement Threatening Action
 Against France
(By Associated Press)

British Imperial and Free French forces have closed in on 4,000-year- old Damascus at the end of the first week in a campaign to take Syria and Lebanon out of Vichy's control.
 Authoritative sources in London said the Vichy defenders of the Syrian capital have abandoned the town of Kissque ten miles away and are falling back close to the walls of the unfortified city.
 Secretary of State Cordell Hull today stingingly accused Vichy of doing Germany's fighting in Levant, and by the sharpness of his words raised the possibility that the United States might act soon to back up the warnings against French collab- oration with Berlin.
 Among the possibilities of U. S. action arc the refusal to allow furth- CT funds to reach the Vichy govern ment from approximately a half billion dollars in French assets froz- en in the U. S., or a breach of diplo- matic relations as an opening in the way to recognize General De- Gaulle's Free-French Committee, r French Ambassador Gaston Henry Have voiced Surprising disappoirft- ment" over Hull's statement.

One hundred sixty-four years ago today-June IA, 1777-the Con- tinental Congress passed the reso- lution that gave birth to the Am erican flag. That's why today .s observed as Flag Day.
 The first flag had l3 stars and l3 stripes.
 Until 1913, stripe and star were added for each new state. That year, however, Congress de- creed the stripes should represent only original states, but that each new state should receive star.
 The first widespread celebration of a flag day. was, the centennial observance in 1877, with several cities participating There were then 38 stars.
 The flag has been unchanged since 1912, when the last two states Arizona and New Mexico-were admitted. It is the longest period the flag has gone without new stars. Puerto Rico, Hawaii and AL aska all have been mentioned as possibilities for the 18th state.
 The encyclopedia says regular ob- servance of Flag Day is less than a half-century old. It was started in 1896 by the American Flag-Day As sociation, Chicago.

 At times when he is likely to be in the mood for eating or drinking, he'll find the restau- rants and bars filled to capacity and probably lines of waiting cus- toners in the former.
 If he wants a taxi, he'll find there are periods of the day and night or anytime during a storm when it is practically impossible to get one. A taxi company official tells me that year ago there were 5000 cabs on the streets of ------- ---l- al

Declaration that Ships Car rying Contraband Be

WELLES DECLARES NO
 THREATS RECOGNIZED
American Action on Sink no of Robin Moor Ex-
 peeled Taken Soon

WASHINGTON. June 14.-Threats made by the German spokesman that any ships believed to be car- rying contraband of war, no matter which nations flag the craft is flying, will be shoot at got raise out of Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles today.
 The German spokesman made the threat when he declared that the Reich will not be "buffaloed" by any reaction of the United States in the torpedoing of the American freighter Robin Moor in the South Atlantic
 In reply to queries made by the newsmen this forenoon, Welles de- clared Americans have never been impressed by what they rega1d as buster or threats"
 The queries were in general con- corning the attitude of this govern ment on the German spokesman's threat that any ship carrying con- traband to England will be sunk.
 The Acting Secretary of State said he would make no final statement until the full facts regarding the sinking of the Robin Moor have been received from American officials in Brazil who have reports from the eleven survivors picked up by a Brazilian steamer.
 Welles did say that the American merchant ship, in accordance with the traditional historical policy of this country on the high seas, was engaged in peaceful commerce at the time but was sunk in the middle of the Atlantic and far from any combat area.

WASHINGTON. = As previously pointed out in this column, one of the significant differences between the War and Navy Departments IS the hostility of Navy brasshats to civilian scrutiny and control of their operations.
 There are some Army chiefs who hold similar views, but they usually are circumspect about airing them. Secretary Henry Stimson and Under Secretary Robert Patterson are sin cere believers in democracy and they rule their generals with a firm hand. In the Navy it is largely the other way around.
 A striking illustration is the sharp contrast in the attitude of the two Departments on he question of an Assistant Secretary for Air.
 Deciding that the vastly expand ed Army Air Corps needed a central directing head. Stimson and Pat terson selected Robert Lovett, New York banker and World War ace, for the job and had the President appoint him. There was, no inter ference from the generals, and Air Corps chiefs are working harmoni- ously and effectively with their new civilian boss.
 Navy brasshats, on the other hand are fighting tooth and nail to block a similar civilian intrusion into their gold-braided realm. Through high powered lobbying operations in the House, the admirals wormed into

German, Italian Assefs In Unified 5fafes Frozen;

WASHINGTON, June H. President Roosevelt today order ed the immediate freezing of all German and Italian assets in the United States.
 At the same time, President Roosevelt ordered the freezing of assets of all invaded or occu- pied European countries not previously covered by such ord- CTS.
