Adults More Freely
Educators Strive
For Adequate Program
Of Preparedness

Recommendations urging more
extensive use of w. P. A. adult
education teachers in making sur
veys and studies of special problems

ference of educators and recrea-
tiOnal leaders, meeting at the Wash

Out of the discussions. the con-
ference planned today to arrive al
some definite conclusions for a pro-

One Of the questions which grew
out of the protracted .~ssions yes
terday, including a discussion by
Mrs Franklin D. Roosevelt, was
ways and means of keeping school,
houses open in the evenings fol-
adult education and public recrea-
tion.
Mrs. Roosevelt drew from the
combined session yesterday after
noon the opinion that young Amer
leans should be given more anc
better training in public speech
so they could combat the allegedly
superior public presentations of
young Communists and Fascists.
Mrs. Roosevelt asked the group.
DO YOU feel you are giving sufficient
experience and ability to young
people to stand on their feet and
think on their feet. and have con-
viction enough to stand up agains'
strong opposition? I find young
Communists are trained ard put i,

With One Possible
Exception, He Reveals

Secretary of the Navy Knox said
today that all so of the overage de-
stroyers traded to Great Britain had
been delivered and with one pos
sible exception we're already "on
the other side"
He revealed that one of the 1900
ton World War destroyers was dam
aged in a collision after being turned
over to the British. He explained
that the mishap was probably due
to the British crews unfamiliarity
with American-type craft, which
with their broad sterns. are slow in
making turns. The ship is expected
to be put in active service within
a short time.
Mr.. Knox revealed that Rear Ad-
miral Ernest j. King, commander
of the Atlantic Fleet, had been ele-
waited to the rank of full admiral.

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Oscar
Torp, Norwegian Minister, described
in an interview yesterday his super
vision of the dramatic transportation
Of Norway's gold reserves from Oslo
to the coast and then by small craft
and warship to England while Ger
man bombs and parachute troops
dropped from the sky.
On April 8, the day before the
Nazis marched into Oslo Mr.. Torp
said, he directed the removal of
millions of dollars worth of gold
ingots from the capital
AS a representative of the German
government entered the front door
of the Finance Ministry early on
April 9. Mr.. Torp said, he left by
the back door and, by automobile,
followed a number of trucks filled
with gold.
Mr.. Torp, who reached this
country several weeks ago. did not
disclose the value of the gold, which
he said now was safely deposited in
Canadian and American banks. Last
April, however, Norway's gold re-
serves were estimated at $84 900 900
although a part of that total already
had been shipped here.

Churchill
CONTINUED From First Page,

British folk-nearly half of whom
are civilians-have lost their lives
in enemy action
In the coming six months, he said
"ve shall, for the first time. have an
intense demand on the man and
woman power of this country
This" he continued, was the
reason for the far-reaching deClara-
ton of which the Minister of Labor
ernest Bevin apprised the country
and the House yesterday.
Il look forward to very consider
able combing and scraping in the air
force and in the army So to reduce
their demands upon the man power
market as far as possible during the
coming stringent months so that we
may be able to man the new fac
tories and shipyards and till the new
fields which are coming into pro-
duction.

It's war stride, but the future con-
tains no evidence which would justi'

Mr.. Churchill promised the House
Of Commons a chance to vote on the
labor CONSUMPTION plan. The Prime
Minister looked on while members
shouted down a Communist charge
that the government had suppressed
the Daily Worker, Communist party
organ. in order to quash opposition
to the labor plan.

Readiness for Peace
Reported in Singapore

SINGAPORE, Jan. % (P).-Reports
from Bangkok and Hanoi today
were interpreted here as indicating
readiness by leaders of Thailand
(Siam) and French Indo-China to
seek a peaceful settlement Of the
territorial dispute behind their un-
declared war.
Informed quarters said both the
Thai and the French still MAIN
tanned the justice of their respective
attitudes, but were being drawn
together by fear the frontier strife
was developing into a general con-
flict.
A general outbreak, these quar-
ters explained, might enable Japan
to enter the controversy as a paci-
fer, but then to remain as a strate-
glcally strengthened menace to all
states around the China Sea.
May Resume Contact.
An official report from Hanoi said
official information from Bangkok
"envisaged resumption of direct
diplomatic contact with Indo-
China" which was interrupted in
November.
Bangkok reports said the French
Charge d'Atfaires there. Roger Gar
reau. mad conferred three times with
Thai Premier Luang Pibula Song
gram. Their converse tions, it was
reported, brought no concrete re-
suits. but were evidence of willing
ness to continue negotiations.
TheSThai government has insisted
upon direct dealings with the French
government, rather than the Indo-
China colonial administration, and
upon French acceptance. in principle
at lease, of Thai demands for two
areas in the Indo-Chin state of
Laos.
Informed circles said Garreau in
dicated French willingness to nego-
tiate minor frontier notifications
but determination to leave territorial
claims in allowance until conclusion
of the European war.
British-U. S. Influence Felt.
Britain and the United States were
reported by authoritative sources to
be encouraging an early peaceful
settlement of the dispute. British
American influence already was
credited, they said. with dissuading
Thailand from carrying out an ex-
pressed intention of bombing Saigon
and other Indo-China population
centers.
An early and honorable" settle
ment. it was said. would help Thai
land restrain her pro-Japanese fac
tions. whose influence was strength
ened by Japan's readiness to supply
that country with armaments after
United States supplies were cut off
Reliable reports from Bangkok
said so warplanes. together with
artillery and munitions, had arrived
there from Japan. Sixty more
planes and additional supplies are
expected this week. French quarters
said Indo-China had received moth
ing from Japan.

On Senate Contest
Nicely and Holt Both
Insist Their Appointee

By the Associated Press.
-Four oaths of Office and three
certificates of appointment, all aimed
at split second, will determine the
identity of one of West Virginia s
Senator's for the next two years.
Gov. M. M. Nicely insisted yester-
day that his four oaths hit the dot
precisely enough to avoid even an
''infinitesimal interval" between the
dofflng of his senatorial toga and
assumption of the Governors office
Equally as emphatic was former
Gov. Homer A. Holt, in contending
his three certificates effectively
split a second" and gave valid stand
ing to his appointment of successor
to Mr.. Nicely.
Mr.. Nicely has named Joseph
Roster of Fairmont to succeed him
in the Senate; Mr. Holt has ap-
pointed Clarence Martin of Mar
tinsburg to the seat.
Time Element Argued.
Both the length of time required
to read the oath as Governor
variously estimated at from or 5
to Is secondhand the time needed
to ScraWl signature figured in
hearings before the Senate Elections
Committee.
Il can sign my name quicker
than he tNeely) can take that
oath" said Mr.. Holt, telling of
signing the third of his three Ger
tifcates of appointment for Mr..
Martin.
The signature was affixed, he
said, at the word go" spoken over
an open telephone line from one of
two men stationed at an official
clock. Il had a wet pen ready"
added Mr.. Holt with smile.
He timed that commission "the
first moment of" January 13.
Mr.. Nicely, too, operated with
watches and clocks adjusted to the
split second and took the third Of
his four oaths of Office instantly
after midnight" on the morning Of
January 13. He had timed his res
ignation from the Senate at the
same second.
Four Oaths Cause Surprise.
Word of the four oaths threw
surprise into the hearing on claims
of Mr.. Martin and Mr.. Roster.
First of the oaths, Mr.. Nicely told
the committee. was at 1875 pm. on
January y and was taken with the
intention that it should become
effective the instant I was COM
pletely divested of my Office as
United States Senator"
Mr. Holt lost little time, after Mr..
Nicely completed his arguments, in
asserting:
My horseback opinion is that
that first oath was good and lpSo
facto Cby the very fact or act he
CNeely) vacated the seat in the
Senate and my appointment of
Martin became effective
He referred to two appointments
made in anticipation of vacancy,
one worded as effective on Mr..
Nicely "ceasing to have the Office
and the other when a vacancy
occurred.

bombardment. paved the way for the
beginning of the ground assault on
Tobruk at dawn yesterday.
British headquarters said "many
prisoners" including a general. were
taken in the first fierce assault.
One by one, the guns of the italian
defenders were silenced as the
British fleet, defying the threat of
German dive bombers which recently
have been operating in the Mediter-
ranean, poured tons of explosives
into the battered town.
Observers at the front described
the naval bombardment as ground
shaking.
Shells rained on the town at a
seemingly incredible rate" one OBJ
server declared, "and the very air
reverberated with the din"
The British announced last night
the shelling had left the Italian
cruiser San Giorgio, said to have
been beached in Tobruk Harbor, a
mass of flames.
It was from this vessel that a big
naval gun, known to the British as
"Tobruk Tom had been Smelling

James Fighting Ships lists the San
Giorgio as a 9232-ton cruiser built
in 1910 and later converted into an
escort and coast defense vessel.
Her armament included four l0-inch
and eight rs guns.
British dispatches from Cairo last
June ID reported the San Giorgio
had been damaged in an engage

In the raid on frequently bombed
Elbasani the British said all their
planes returned safely despite an
anti-aircraft barrage and active"
opposition by Fascist fighter planes.
The Greeks said the advance in
the Tepeleni sector was coupled with
new gains on the northern front,
where lively fighting was reported
after a recent weather-e enforced
stalemate.
Improved weather was reported
around Tepeleni, but large-scale
operations still were hampered.
Here, the Greeks said their forces
continued to maintain the initiative,
with their big guns pouring a steady
stream of shells into the Fascist
positions.
The Italian Julia" Division suf-
fered such severe losses in recent
engagements it was compelled 70
withdraw from the Albanian battle
front, a Greek spokesman declared
last night.
Without specifying the localities
in which the fighting occurred. the
