Hero Named New
Naval Official

WASHINGTON, Aug. % (UP)-
President Roosevelt today nomin-
ated Artemus L. Gates of New York
City, a distinguished world war
naval aviator, to be assistant sec
retary of the navy for aeronautics
Gates will assume the new post
as soon as he is confirmed by the
senate. He is now president of the
New York Trust Co.
Entering the naval aeronautics
branch in 1917, Gates had one of the
outstanding war records of that
service. In 1917, he was attached to
the nothern bombardment group
which attacked objectives along the
German coast.
Gates later commanded the i'm
portant naval air station at Dun
kirk, and during this assignment
led the rescue of the crew of a
British plane which had crashed
at sea.

Observers speculated that the
message might have been largely a
request from Konoye that the presi-

whole range of Far Eastern prob
lens: Japans ambitions in the
south Pacific and the United States

Showroonns Here

The 1912 Plymouth cars, carrying
the slogan, "Plymouth's Finest"
were placed on display Thursday in
the Ell Centro showrooms of Haas
Bros, Herring and Slusher, and
Leslie F. Rogers.
A 95 horsepower engine. repre-
senting an increase in power over
the l94l line, is a feature of the
new Plymouth. Other outstanding
features include a lower gear ratio
in the rear axle for longer engine
life and wider, lower body.
Interesting from the angle of
national defense, is the extensive
use of chromium trim on the new
cars, a feature many believed would
be curtailed or eliminated entirely
in the 1912 automobile output.

upper river level.
The dam was described as "the
first creation of the five-year plan"
and Lozovsky said that in addition
to destroying it the Russians had
taken measures to prevent the Ger
mans from using the machinery.
The great dam, pride Of Soviet
industry, was completed in 1923. 1t
supplied power to most of the Dniep-
er river industrial area and the
great iron ore center of Krivoi Rog.
The dam stretched in a huge curve
across the half mile broad river in
one of Russia's important indus
trial sectors in the Ukraine.
1t was 140 feet high and gener-
ated 100000 horsepower for the in
dustries of the area. 1t was built
under direction of Col. Hugh L.
Cooper, American engineer.
The dam at first was called Dniep-
rostroy but later was renamed in
honor of Nikolai Lenin.
1t was completed in 1923 after
i've years work and represented
one Of the greatest modern engi-
neering featS. At the time of its
completion, it was the largest pow
er plant in the world, surprising
the Muscle Shoals dam.
The Dnieper dam, however, has
been surpassed since by the Boulder
Dam, the Shasta and Grand Coulee
dams and the Tennessee valley de-
velopment.

Iranian route for war supplies to
Russia.
The Germans, whose communl-

perior, accepted the governmental
change as official and as meaning
the end of resistance to the invad-
ers. Nazi spokesmen said Iran had
been forced to give up because she
had no weapons to battle gangs
tiers who broke into her home and
charged that President Roosevelt
was an accessory to the aggression
BRITISH SUSPICIOUS
In London and Turkey, it was
agreed that hostilities seemed near
an end although there was con-
siderable suspicion on the part OF
Britain that the governmental
change might turn out to be a trick
The British pointed out that the
Iran army had been fully modified
and that the crown prince was re-
ported in command. Aurkish sourc-
eS reported that the British Russian
advance had been approved by the
United States.
The consolidation of the British
Russian hold on strategic parts OF
Iran, such as the oil fields and
the railroads, would be designed to
bolster the entire Asia Minor de-
fense chain against the axis and
to keep Turkey, which had been
alarmed b. the aggression, in
friendly ties with Britain.
In the Far East, the Russian
warning to japan to avoid hindering
American war shipments to Vladi-
vostok and Secretary of State Hull's
declaration the Pacific must be
kept free appeared to have brought
Japan close to a turning point in
the war Of nerves.
Dispatches from Shanghai said
the cabinet of Premier Prince Fu-
mimaro Konoye was facing crisis
that might end with either a mill
tary government linked closely to
the axis in full power or with
new attempt to reach an agreement
with the United States and Great
