corning reported delays in clearing
Japanese ships from Eastern sea-

from Baltimore after a brief delay.
Another is the Yamaskai, said
to be held up at Boston, and the
third is the passenger liner Tokai

late to get married.
They arrived in court today, hop
ing to get married after the ses-

trial-on charges of speeding and
leaving after colliding-wasn't over
until late this afternoon
He was fined S75 on the two
charges. Miss Moore, who had ex-
pressed herself too fluently on the
subject of the policeman who ar
rested them yesterday, had forfeited
S. on charge of disorderly con-
duct.
Mr. Hoyle and Miss Moore headed
once more for Upper Marlboro, after
the trial was over. But they weren't
going to get married Mr.. Hoyle had
a date to get himself inducted into
the Army, and there wasn't any
time left for Cupid today.

had departed. Mr.. Hoyle and Miss
Moore, at this point, stopped to re-

ANKARA, July 16.-German AM
bassador Franz Won Papen was re-
ported today to have sounded out
Turkey on the possibility Of sending
supplies across Anatolia for German
troops in the Caucasus if Russia is
beaten decisively by September.

MANY would be warmly grateful for
permission to provision German
forces expected by the NaziS to

The Turkish Government was un-
derstood to have adopted a nom
committal attitude and replied that
consideration of the question at
present would be premature.

troops and supplies would have
to traverse all of European and

vance up the country to the proX-
unity of the Northern Iraq-Iran

excellent bases for heavy bombing

gion from Baku TO Batum if the
Germans should get that far.
Peace Offensive Revived.
Nazi propagandists in the neutral
Middle East countries were reported
to be reviving the so-called peace
offensive, asserting that Britain
could hardly refuse a peace offer
once Russia was knocked out.
The British are said to have told
questioning neutrals, however. that
they hold no thought of compro-
missing despite German hints that
Western Europe would be considered
in the English sphere if Germany's
dominance in the east were ac-
knoWledged.
. In this peace talk. the Nazis dis
closed-perhaps inadvertently-that
the Reich PROBABLY would be unable
to undertake further military ad-
ventures this year even if the Soviet
campaign should end in September.
They said the mountain passes of
Northern Iran would be snowbound
by mid October and there was little
likelihood of any push through them
before spring, while British prepara-
tions in that area could be expected
to increase through the winter.

Expenditure of almost $1,000 .000,-

Grating facilities during the next five
years. to meet pressing defense de-
mands for electric energy. was
recommended to President Roose-

The commission suggested that the
funds be advanced by subsidiary

at a rate not to exceed $l50,000, 900
to 5000 100000 a year.
Such advances would be made to
both private and public projects, on

The plan was based, the commits
sion said, on anticipated increased
defense spending, which it estimated
would be at the rate of $1,000 0OO,-
900 per month by 1943.
Proposal Is Outlined.
The commission outlined its plan
as follows:
/. Orders should be prepared for
