BOSTON, May 21.-Federal Sc

Mutt said today approximately As
100000 men. women and children in
the United States lack "the foods we
know are essential to health"
"Why?" he asked in addressing
the National Congress of Parents
and Teachers. Primarily because
they are too poor to buy milk and
eggs and vegetables in the quantities
which you and l take for granted on
our own tables. But also because
they do not know how important
these foods are and how to make
the most of them.
And this is the country which OF
all the world has the greatest food
producing capacity"
Describing as appalling" the
health record revealed by selective
service figures, he said nearly half
of the men examined were rejected
because of physical unfitness.

But, so physicians tell us, very
large proportlon-from a third to
a half-of these defects are rene

tolerate this needless waste? I say

who might otherwise be victims OF

This Is the free school lunch

New Woman" Faces Test.
The granddaughter of one Of
the founders of the Parent Teach
er movement believes "the next
few years will be, in a sense, the first
great test Of what We might call the
new Woman'-the woman who has
come to maturity since the beginning
of this century.
Mrs. Lawrence Wood Robert. jr.. of
Washington, granddaughter of Mrs
Alice Mcclellan Birney. co-founder
of the organization, declared yes
terday:
I'VE have always carried a lighted
lamp that men have lost. Let us
now use our womanly knowledge in
behalf of our country, our families
and ourselves. Let us cause the
fame of that lamp to shine bright
through the darkness, so that the
lost and discouraged may have a
beacon, and realize that so long as
that fame Of feminine faith and
courage burns, the fight goes on"
We American women" she said
"enjoy privilege status unequaled,
to my knowledge, by the women of
any other country in the world.
but We must remember that where
there is privilege without RESPONSE
bility, there is also inefficiency and
chaos. ''' do not doubt that even
as ordinary women we would not
fail, and certainly I have no doubt
that as modern women We will not
fail"

Zomzom Cargo Is Held
Unframed, Nozis Say

NEW YORK, May 21 (P).-The
German radio said last night that
the cargo Of the Egyptian ship Zam-
zam is unharmed in German hands
The broadcast, heard here by C.
B. s.. also said the Zamzam, ac-
cording to official Berlin circles
was captured in the middle of April
by a warship according to prize law
because it carried war material to
England"
After saving the passengers and
crew the ship was sunk" the broad
cast continued.
German quarters state that the
cargo of the Egyptian ship is un-
harmed in German hands"
William v. c. Ruxton, president OF
the British American Ambulance
Corps, said yesterday a new unit of
men and equipment was being
planned to replace the unit which
sailed on the Egyptian liner Zam-
zam.
Volunteers already have appeared,
he said, adding:
There's a war on. The need Is
intensified"
He placed q material valuation Of

'Chutists Reported Used
By Axis in Cirenoico

CAIRO, May 81 P).-Authorities
disclosed today in comment on the
air-borne invasion of Crete that
German parachutists were used six
weeks ago in the Axis advance across
Cirenaica.
These 'chutists and the "faceless
men" employed also in Greece had
fawn-colored parachutes not easily
distinguishable from clouds at a good
height. They wore greenish silk
jackets, lined with wool: pantaloons
of the same color, and on their feet
were suede-top boots with rubber
soles and kneecaps two inches thick
to protect them against landing
shock
Their light steel helmets had z
inch rubber protection. Their chief
weapon was a tommy gun" Other
equipment included two thermos bot
ties strapped to the chest.
Crete offers ideal landscape fol
undetected arrival of 'chutists. Ex-
cept for the northern coastal belt
1t is wild. mountainous and largely
uninhabited.

Admiral Har1 10 Keep Post
Beyond Retirement Date

Secretary of the Navy Knox re-
vealed today that he plans to keep
Admiral Thomas C. Hart in COM
mand of the Asiatic Fleet beyond
his regular retirement date, July /.
Secretary Knox was asked at a
press conference whom he intended
to place in command of the fleet
after Admiral Hart's retirement and
he replied quickly that he intended
keeping the admiral on duty because
he was an exceptionally good man.
Repeated attempts to draw Secre-
tary Knox out further on his plan
brought only the explanation that
he considered Admiral Hart well
qualified for a continuance of duty
in a situation that requires a spe-
cial knowledge. When he was asked
If he intended doing the same with
any other high official of the fleet,
he declined to discuss the matter.

the answers to many questions
about the chances of aerial assault.
Most emphasized was the report
that the Germans had attempted
landings by sea. This had a spe-
cial meaning because of the British
fleets strength in the Mediter-
ranean and the public waited hope
fully to hear that its guns had
blasted any such attempts into
disaster.

the Admiralty, was quoted by the

Englishman meets a German In
battle on even terms there is no
doubt which is the right man on
whom to put your money-it is
the Englishman." The report
was heard in New York by
G. B. S.
There was no evidence of doubt
anywhere among London offlcial-
dom that Crete can be held.
One Division Involved.
One authoritative informant said
at least one air-borne German
division totaling about 1000 men
was involved" in the operation,
but added that by involved" he did
not mean the whole division already
had landed.
1t was considered improbable that
a whole division could be moved in
one day.
Today's attack apparently followed
the pattern of the initial assault
yesterday, when the Germans began
landing by parachute, glider and
transport plane after a heavy aerial
bombardment
Operating from bases on the Greek
mainland, from IS to 100 miles away,
the Germans were said to be en-

lied sources later observed.
ut must be assumed that the am
bulance drivers pledged to Gen. de
Gaulle have a similar assignment.
Hence it is only logical that be-
fore releasing the Americans, our
military must assure itself that these
internees can reveal nothing of
value.
1T may also be assumed that If
American diplomatic representatives
should put forward a request to
visit these interned Americans, it
can be granted, if at all, only in the
presence of German representa-
tives, who will sternly watch that
no military information is divulged."
Know Nothing Of Waterman.
These sources said they knew
nothing as yet of the departure OF
United States Consul Henry S.
Waterman from Bordeaux to the
detention center
1t was evident from the attitude
of authorized persons that the Ger

have been accounted for, are we'll

Legal experts of the Foreign Of
flee, meanwhile, were looking into
the juridical aspects of the case.
Apparently one point at issue is
whether the "a Americans who were
ambulance drivers already were part
of Gen. de Gaulle's hospital corps
or whether they merely were en-
route to become such.
Authorized sources said active
members of hospital squads are
treated as prisoners of war when
captured.
(Thus, apparently, it still is left
in doubt whether American am
bulance men are to be freed or
detained. Germanys concern
over the possibility that they
might expose military secrets in
dicates the possibility that, if
they are released, they will be
bound by pledge not to talk.
ct also is possible that the
Germans count on the lapse of
time before any release to nullify
the importance of any informa-
ton the Americans could give.
1n New York William V. C.
Ruxton, president of the British
American Ambulance Corps, de-
scribed today as "of course ab-
surd" any assumption in Berlin
that the "a American ambulance
drivers taken from the Zamzam
were enrolled as De Gaullists."

Division Described.
News dispatches from Cairo
quoted official Greek sources as
saying that all the German troops
which landed Yesterday had been
killed or captured, but there was
no official confirmation of this In
London.
Military men here said a German
air-borne division, such as the one
reported engaged in the attempted
invasion of Crete, consists of two
infantry regiments. one artillery
regiment armed with 75-millimeter
guns, an anti-tank artillery bat
talon with 37-mm. guns, motor
cycle reconnaissance unit, a signal
corps and detachment of engi-
neers.
Such division. it was said, prob
ably uses about $50 planes, each of
which is expected to make three or
four trips carrying troops and tow
ing gliders.
The technique IS to drop para
chutists first. If they are successful
in establishing a base they put out
signals and the troop-carrying
planes attempt to land.
Thus far there have been no re-
ports that the Germans have
landed tanks in Crete by air.
Forces Deemed Adequate.
British said the forces stationed
on Crete were deemed adequate tc
deal with any attempt at invasion
from the skies, but made no effort to
minimize the military Importance of
the situation.
Germany, it was said, is known to
have approximately l.200 tri-mo-
tored transport planes and hundreds
of gliders available for such an
aerial offensive.
The size OF the force defending
Crete remained a military secret,
but it was understood it included
two full Greek divisions in addition
to large numbers of British imperial
troops.
Maj. Gen. B. C. FTeyberg, in COM
mand Of the defense of Crete, was
said to have anticipated just such
an attack as that which developed
yesterday and to have made care
full preparations to meet it.

British Driven Back,
Iroq Staff Declares

BEIRUT, Lebanon. Nav 81 tP).-
The Iraq general staff reported to-
day that British forces in the Basra-
Kouaiba region of Southern Iraq
had been driven back in one sector
after suffering enormous casual
ties.
Heavy losses. a communique re-
ceived from Baghbad asserted. also
were inflicted on the British by
Iraq troops which attacked posi-
tions at Habbaniyah, vital air base
on the western front.
(The British said yesterday
they had advanced eastward
from Habbaniyah, crossed the
Euphrates River and captured

from Baghbad, without the loss

"Deserters," the communique said

that following enormous losses the
enemy forces, particularly those
commanded by Col. Jerr, had to
retire.
"Other deserters report hundreds
of wounded have been evacuated

being thrown in the river pre-
sumably the Euphrates).'
Iraq warplanes were reported to
have bombed British camps and
troops. causing losses in men and
material. All the Iraq planes re-
turned safely, the communique de-
clared.
British planes were said to have
reconnoitered 1raq positions. but
there were no reports of bombings.

Halted BY Warship.

Celebrating previous meager re-
ports Of the sinking, the German
Foreign Office mouthpiece, Deutsche
Diplomatisch-Po Korrespon-
denz, said the Zamzam was halted
for investigation on the high seas
by Nazi warship.
This investigation, the Germans
declared, disclosed that the vessel
was carrying large quantities of war
material consigned to the Free
French" forces of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle, including a considerable
quantity of munitions and variety
of machines. among them trucks
and automobiles.
The Nazi warship, they said,
therefore acted in accordance with
| international law in sinking the
Zamzam after removing her pas
sengers and crew.
Germans said it was considered
questionable, however, whether 1t
was proper for non-combatant
Americans to travel on a ship carry
ing contraband.
Those taken from the Zamzam
were said to have been transferred
later from the warship to a mer-
chant vessel which took them to
France.

work and contracts will oe signed
soon, Mr.. Knudsen said.
He declared that output of twin
engine bombers. now approximately
200 a month, also will be consid-
erably increased. but he gave no
figures to indicate how great this
new program would be.
The new plan for 500 heavy
bombers a month, Mr.. Knudsen ex-
planned, would include planes to be
assembled in Government built
plants at Tulsa, Okla, and Fort
Worth, Tex, which are expected to
be in production by early fall of
1912. The Forth Worth assembly
plant will be operated by the Con-
solidated Aircraft Co., with most of
the parts being provided by Ford.
The Tulsa assembly plant is to be
operated by Douglas and most of its
parts also will be provided by Ford.
The comprehensive plan for en-
larging the number of military
planes produced in this country is
in accordance with recent instruc-
tions from President Roosevelt, Mr.
Knudsen said, and he expressed
confidence that, when going in full
stride, it will satisfy" the Chief
Executive.
SubleaSing Provided For.
The Q. P. M. has adopted a policy
through which all prime contractors
for defense materials must agree to
suitcase as much of their work as
is practicable. Mr.. Knudser said.
This policy will be written into all
new contracts, but will not specify
any percentage of work which must
be farmed-out.
Subletting will not be mandatory
in the new contracts, but the in
clusion of the policy clause will
definitely assure us that work will
be subcontracted if we can show
the prime contractor how ana where
the outside work can be done, Mr..
Knudsen said.
He expressed the opinion that ex-
pansion of steel production facilities
should be accomplished by adding to
existing plants rather than
entirely new plants. Mr..
knudsen stressed, however. that this
was his personal belief and that he
had not taken up the matter off,
clally with other o. P. M. executives.
