 Irish officials in this country in embracing MT. Roosevelt's offer to sell or lease two merchant vessels to Fire and to make an Initial con. tribution of $S00,000 to finance food shipments.
 These sources said that they did not feel thta an illness of Robert Brennan, the Irish Minister, in It. self was adequate explanation for the fact that aS yet MT. Roosevelt's offer has not materiali2ed in dis- patch of the food ships to Fire.
 MT. Roosevelt, himself, gave weight to these assertions last Wednesday when he said that as yet, Ireland had not accepted his offer.
 Informed sources said the admin istration IS viewing the Irish situ- ation with cold realism. The pos- sibility that Germany may move into Spain and Portugal in c drive toward Gibraltar, they said, opens the chance that Lisbon, the Eu- ropean terminus of American Clip- per ship service to the continent may be closed. If that should oc- cur, they said, the United States, would seek to establish new ter- minus in Ireland, at e base which already has been explored and utilized by American AirWays.
 It was learned that in offering to give food to Ireland, MT. Roose- welt hoped the initial shipment, to be handled through the American Rcd Cross, would Do only the precursor Of additional shipments, financed both by Irish.A Americans and by the Fire government.
 Desire for Munitions
 But sources close to the Presi- dent asserted that Fire officials efn- phasized their paramount desire Is to procure arms and munitions.
 The attitude of the administra. ton is that Fire Is e neutral nation and as c neutral should be more in- terested in food than war material" these sources said.
 The situation was brought into sharper emphasis by two factors: 1, Failure of United States flood diplomacy" to deter France from collaborating with the Axis econ- omicaliy and, perhaps, politically and;
 2. The tense Anglo-Irish sltua- ton precipitated by Great Bri- tain's cancelled move to impose con- scription on North Irish counties Both North and South Ireland were affected by MT. Roosevelt's food offer, since officials here understood that the bulk Of the SB00,000 of food which would have comprised the initial shipment would have gone chiefly for relief Of North Ire- land refugees who found shelter in South Ireland counties after Nazi bombings.

 Germans Deny It
 Berlin, May 30.-(UP)-Author- ized German quarters said today that Dr. Kurt Heinrich Rieth, for- mer Geramn diplomat who is under arrest In New York has had no political contact with the German government for the past seven years.
 So far as is known here Rieth has considerable interests in Standard OH. and is In the United States on purely private business, 1t was said.
 Thus far no official reports on Rieth's case have reached Berlin, authorized quarters said. The Ger man government has asked It's em- bassy at Washington to report.

 banking laws will permit them to accept from . single depositor. Limit Is 90 Per Cent
 This limit is 90 per cent of the combined surplus and undivided profits of the institution. Several times in the past the city's deposits have exceeded this limit in more than one of the local banks simply because the city couldn't do any, thing else with the funds than place them on deposit.
 Right now the city's balance in the four local depositories-The Colonial Trust Company, Citizens and Manufacturers National Bank, Waterbury National Bank, and Wa terbury Trust Company-is close to the legal limit of $i i,600, 900, despite the fact that 1t paid off it's $l,l50,- 900 loan. It may be, with this in mind, that the Finance Board next week will authorize the Controller or City Treasurer to make arrange ments for deposit of funds In Q New York or Boston bank.
 Heavy payments of taxes at the time the first installment falls due both last year and this year have resulted in an unusually large bal- ance for the city at all times. It's size right now indicates that the city will not be forced to make another temporary loan this year with con- sequent small saving in interest charges.
 Under the law the city may depo- sit In the Colonial Trust $8i7 ,000: citizens and Manufacturers, $424,- GOO; Waterbury National, $224,000; and Waterbury Trust, $l52,000. In practically all four instances these limits are just about reached at the present time with Q heavy influx of last minute payments on the May installment of the current taxes def initely sure to bring these deposits beyond the total allowed.
 It would then be permissible for the Finance Board to authorize an out of town depository and thus keep funds deposited locally within the figure permitted by law.

 New Zealand Gen. Killed
 Berlin, May 30-(UP)-The of- ficial German news agency quoted radio reports today that Gen. B. o. F'reyberg of New Zealand com- mander of Imperial Forces on Crete, had crashed while flying to Alexan. dria. The agency said that Freyberg and his chief aide were killed.
 DNB said that the account of the crash in which Freyberg was killed had been broadcast by the Damas- GUS, Syria, and Cairo, Egypt, radio stations.
 The agency said that with Frey berg was Gen. Gabery, next in con- mand of the Imperial Forces on Crete.
 Maj. Gen. Bernard Cyril Frey- berg, 5l-year-old Commander-in- Chief of the Allied forces in Crete, was story book hero.
 He was awarded the Victoria Cross and the Distinguished Service Order with two bars and made a commander of St. Michael and St. George for heroism and gallantry in the World war.
 He received IA wounds in action during that conflict and had to have a special armlet to bear all his wound stripes.
 General Freyberg was a native of New Zealand. spent part of his youth in California, and rose from Subaltern to Brigadier General in the British Forces during the last war.
 Ills most spectacular exploit he performed while the British were attacking Gallipoii in 1915 in an ef- fort to seize the Dardanelles.

 Friend of Axis
 Benavides, according to the News, is c friend of the Axis. As soon as Rieth reached Rio Do Janiero, Brazil, by Italian tranS-Atlantic airline from Europe, March 6, Ecu- ador renewed its claims on the dis- puted provinces of Tumbez, Jaen and Mainas, rich rubber and oil producing areas, the News said. The United States, Brazil and Argen- tina offered to mediate the quarrel and Ecuador accepted, the News said, but Peru on May B, refused to dicker over its sovereign rights" As Q result, the News said, troops of Ecuadro and Peru are lined on their borders accusing each other of listening to German propaganda.
 Rieth was seized by two immigra- ton officers yesterday afternoon at his $600 a month suite in the luxuri- ous Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
 It was charged that when he en- tered the United States by Commer- cial Airline at Brownsville, Tex, by way of Mexico City, on March 9, on a four. months visitors visa, he falsely told immigration officials that his business in this country was personal, and that he told them he had not been in the United States before, whereas he had been here in 1928. Furthermore, 1t was charged. he was barred from the United States under the passport act, which keeps out persons whose admission would be contrary to public policy.
 Retired Capitalist
 Rieth described himself as 're- tired capitalist" The German em- bassy at Washington expressed "sur- prise and astonishment" at his ar- rest. The embassy said he came to Took after his own personal invest ments. in United States companies" that he had resigned from Ger many's diplomatic service in 1887 and had lived in Germany since then as a private citizen. He came to the United States by way of South America because that was the quick est and cheapest route, the embassy said.

Keeping cool when the thermome-

the top figures is something that we
all think about a good deal. How to
do it? Well, you'll feel cooler if you
look cool, and there are lots of tricks
to make you look as cool as a frosted
lemonade! They're beauty tricks which
with a final dash of flowery cologne.
start with soap and water and end
Just as sure as you manage to look
fresh and crisp and your best beau
tells you so-well, you'll feel better
right away!
So, defy old Sol and tray a few of
these. First, a warm or lukewarm
tub of shower. If you prefer the tub,
toss in one of the delightful prepara-
tons that turn it into a fragrant mass
of bubbles. It's fun, and cooling. Take
your time, and relax every muscle in
your body If you're addicted to firm
rubbing with roughtowel in the dry
mg-of process, give that up for sum-
mer and blot yourself dry as gently
as possible. Next comes the bath pow
der, and if you use a scented one,
choose the same scent as your bath
bubbles and your cologne. You don't
want to finish up with a mixture of
perfumes.
