IRELAND WILL BE
 SENT FOODSTUFFS
President Will Charter 2 Merchant Vessels to Get
 Food Over There

Washington, May 20.-(UP,--- President Roosevelt disclosed today that he has authorized sale or char ter of two merchant vessels to transport food to the civilian popu- latlon of Fire. He also has auth orized expenditure of $600,000 to dispatch tho first consignments un- der supervision of the American Red Cross.
 The ships, he said, will be manned by Irish seamen and will sail un- der Irish registry. Tn addition to the initial $50o,000 shipments, paid for by the U. S., he said, he ex- poets the Fire government to make additional food purchases for It's civilian population and transport the conslgnments in these same two ships.
 The authorization, he said, Speci- flcally does not include shipments of any munitions or implements of war.
 MT. Roosevelt made 1t clear that the food supplies going to Ireland would be earmarked solely for use of civilian populations. Norman De- wis, chairman of the American Red Cross, has informed the Fire min- ister that he Is ready to authorize donation of the first 9B00000 con. signment, Mir. Roosevelt said.
 VIII Be Financed
 This consignment will be financed from the $50, ,000, 900 appropriated by Congress for purchase of food sup- plies for foreign relief.
 The president said he had nt doubt thatu ltimately the two ships being made available to the Irish will transport c great deal more food than the $600,000 first consignment.
 MT. Roosevelt dlsclaimed any In. formation on 1reland's efforts to purchase materials of war in this country.
 Sources close to the White House said the president feels that ship. ments of war materials can be au- thorized only to those nations which are actually waging war in defense of democracy.
 These sources pointed out that current demands are two or three times the supply of war materials, despite acceleratins American de. fense production. When the most urgent needs of the belligerent democracies are met, there are no materials left over to send to coun. tries which are not actually ct war MT. Roosevelt, these sources added has established Q fixed rule thai until American defense production reaches its maximum peak, and the shortage of defense supplies elimi. mated, only those nations actually fighting can be recipients of Ameri can implements of war.

that cargoes on U. s. ships would also be chased as contraband by the Germans.
 Contraband lists proclaimed by both Great Britain and Germany at the outbreak of the war were all- inclusive. AS is customary, absolute contraband covered all munitions and war supplies, while the list of conditional contraband included practically all materials useful in civilian life. Under usual interpre- tations of the neutrality act, U. s. ships would carry only the latter material to Egypt.

U, S, Asks Detail

Washington, May 2o-CUP) -The State Department cabled the United States embassy in Berlin today for full details on the German sinking of the Egyptian liner Zamzam and the whereabouts of its 142 American passengers.
 It did not appear, however, that the United States would protest the sinking, inasmuch as tho Germans apparently compiled with interna- tional law by safely removing those aboard craft.
 Normally, 1t was said, the Amer ican passengers would be released as soon as they have established their status. It might, however, be difficult for them to obtain trans- portation to their destinations.
 The Americans removed from the zamzam, 1t was pointed out, would have the same status in their pres- ent circumstances as United States citizens in Germany with the diff ference that 1t would be up to the Germans to feed and care for them
 The Berlin government may, Il was suggested, detain them long enough to obtain their testimony concerning the sinking for the sake of the record.
 The sinking of the ship in the south Atlantic, presumably by sur face raider, aroused speculation ir official circles as to whether the Germans were operating from some port such as Dakar in French West Africa.
 The German announcement thai the passengers and crew of the zamzam would be cared for in "oc. cupied territory" suggested thai they might have been taken to Da- kar or the French Moroccan port of Casablanca.
 Cause of Anxiety
 The incident also caused serious speculation as to the status Ci American shipping scheduled t6 move to Egypt under President Roosevelt'S recent decree opening the Red sea to U. s. merchant ves- sels.
 The south Atlantic has been com. paratively free of German raider. since the Admiral Graf Spec fought @ losing battle with British maya units of Uruguay.
 If new units could be based d Dakar under French German col. Liberation, they would menace ses lanes around Africa, the course tt be taken by United States ship from Atlantic ports to the Red sea It is only a little more than 1,50 miles from Dakar to the eastern most point of Brazil.
 The fact that the Germans con sidered the cargo of the Zamzan contraband - although 1t was be lieved none was actual militar, equipment-created the presumption

 Captain William c. Smith is mas. ter of the Zamzam. Agents of tht vessel here said that the cabled re- ference to the safety of Captain Smith, in accordance with custom in shipping circles, included also hk passengers and crew.
 The 32-year-old, 8,299-ton Egyp' tan liner Zamzam left Jersey City N. J., March 20 for Alexandria Egypt, by way of Trinidad, Recife Brazil, and Capetown. South Africa
 Aboard were 323 passengers ant crew. Of the POP passengers, 14. were Americans, most of them mis- sionarles bound for posts in Aries or Palestine.
 Of the 142 Americans, 24 were members of a British American am bulance corps unit bound for Kenya with $35 ,000 worth of equipment, in. cluding 20 ambulances, field kit. chen, and an x-ray trailer, for serv. ice with Free French Forces
 The ship, once the British World War troop transport Lecestershire made Trinidad safely, took on board 6 load of fertilizer, and steamed through tropical seas to Recife (Pernambuco).
 From Trinidad on the ship was blacked out nightly. and many of the passengers, Judging from letters mailed at Recife, realized they were headed for dangerous waters.
 Crossed Equator
 The Zanzam reached Recife, hav- ing crossed the Equator and sailed from that port April 10. It should have arrived at Capetown April q or g.
 When 1t did not, the British American Ambulance Corps asked their underwriters to make an in- vestigation. and the Thomas Cook and n-Wagons-Lits Travel Ageri- cy started inquiries.
 The United States Department of State began sending urgent mess ages to it's representatives along the ships route seeking information as to it's fate.
 Early yesterday the fact that the ship was missing became known and the British ministry of information iii London said the Zamzam was long overdue at CapetoWn and must be presumed lost."
 The Zamzam was a veteran of "enemy action" in this as well as the last war. Tn November, 1040, ly- ing in Alexandria harbor, 1t was bombed by Italian air raiders. A 500-pound bomb hit her port side near the stern, set the bridge on fire, and scared the smoke stack.

gift of a painting by Bernardo

According TO DR.. w. r. Valen-
timer. director of the museum.
1t is one Of the finest and most
original Of Bellotto's works. The
painting. which now hangs in
the Baroque gallery, was done
by the artist in his twentieth
year on a visit to Rome. In
choosing such a subject, the
young Bellotto measured his
skill against some of the greatest
landscape artists of all time,
Claude Lorraine and Poussin In
the seventeenth century and
Corot in the nineteenth.
