One theory advanced was that

States that the warships were
ready to resist any attempt to
make the island q hemisphere

Another conjecture was that

blockade for some French base
in Europe or North Africa. Such

pose q difficult problem for the
United States. for this country 10
unsympathetic to the thought Of
the two ships eventually finding
their way into Axis hands.
CONVOY DISCREDTTED
In the broader field of Franco
American relations, the United
States was understood to have
lost faith completely in verbal
pledges transmitted to the state
department by the French en-
voy.
The reported reason was that
the pledges have not prevented
the Vichy governments pro-Hit-
Ter elements Gas Secretary Hull
Is understood to call them) from
forcing obedience TO- Nazi de-
mands for increasing coopera-
tion."
Permitting Nazi warplanes to
use airfelds In French-mandated
Syria for operations against the
British in Iraq was cited a .
specific example of Vichy's &C.
quiescene to demands beyond
the requirements Of the armis-
tice.
In this connection, informed
quarters said that Frances &C.

of the 1924 convention between
the French and American re-
publics, which stipulated that no
part of the inundated territory
should be placed under control

sion, has gone beyond the ar

owAsHINGToN, May 2l-(R
Members Of congress today
generally applauded Preddent
Roosevelt's sharply reduced re-
quest for WPA- funds, but some
opposition developed to his re-
quests for administrative chang
60 In the law.
The opposition was based on
the contention that the legis-
lative changes he asked might
induce some work relief clients
to make the WPA their "ca-
reer."
In a special message yester-
day, Mr.. Roosevelt asked con-
gress for . WPA appropriation
Of $3.50, 600. 900 for the year be-
ginning next July IA reduc-
ton Of $109, 900, 900 from pre-
liminary relief estimates, and
comparing with the 81 $50, $780,
900 appropriated for the current
fiscal year.
Asserting that the defense pro-
gram had taken up some of the
slack in employment, the presi-
dents estimate allowed for en-
ployment of about 1000, 900 per.
sons q month on the WPA rolls,
the lowest In years.
The monthly average 80 far
this year has been 100, 900, but
has been going down sharply in
recent months. On May IA
there were 1,496,963 on WPA
rolls.
Rep. Cannon of Missouri,
ranking Democrat on the house
appropriations committee, call
ed. the reduction Tin line with
the needs" of WPA.
I'm the first place." he said,
"the expenditures in the defense
program have greatly taken up
the slack in employment. On
the other hand, In answer to
those who say we should elm
mate the appropriation altogeth-
er or reduce it still further. The
defense program does not reach
some classes of labor and they
still must be taken care of.
The president took the same
stand, declaring that certain
parts of the country are not at
fected by defense activities and
many types of workers are not
in demand"
Rep. Taber Of New York,
ranking Republican on the APP
preparations group, said he
would fight the whole program.
1.-THE WPA is part of an anti
defense program Of the presi-
dent" Taber said. Zone group
is getting stuff out for defense.
Another is trying to waste the
money of the country. He is
catering to both. The result Is
they work both ends against
the middle"
Taber disagreed with the pres
ident and Cannon that q hard
ship to many people resulted
from the present provision re-
quiring the WPA to remove per-
sons who have been continu-
ously on the rolls for ID months.
He called such removals "jus-
tice."
The president asked that the
requirement be removed. He
also recommended elimination
of an existing employment re-
striction against aliens otherwise
eligible.

st. John. It likewise contains the
Acts of the Apostles written by
st. Luke, as well q the letter OF
st. Paul, st. John, st. James, st.

of the New Testament is the

existence an English translation

Of its appearance In 1855 to 1850
the English language underwent
many changes which hecessitate

GIVES CLEAR ANSWER
Sundays sermon gave q clear
answer to several false ACCUSE
tons which are levelled against
the Catholic Church with regard
to the Bible. Father Hebert ex-
planned that the Church had
never chained the Bible with
the intention of keeping it from
the people but rather for the
purpose Of preserving it for the
people against ruthless vandals
who wanted to steal it or damage
it. The Church has ever encour-
aged the reading Of the Sacred
Scriptures ut she has also ever
guarded it against the evils of

speaker also reminded his hear

lished and perfect, possessing

fore even one word of the New
Testament was written.

Their Hebert pleaded with his
people that they should COOP

noting the reading of the Sacred

striving to place copy of the re-
vised translation in every Cath

peal were most gratifying. More

Latest news from muSkrat head
quarters in Iowa is not encouraging
1t seems that civil war is raging
in the Iowa marshes and other loca-
tions where muskrats have become
too numerous and the area too re-
stricted MuskratS have an econom-
ical way of getting rid of their sur
plus numbers. They eat them!
AS a leading North American fur
animal, we are told by eminent
authorities, muskrats can take it"
That is they are strong enough to
withstand severe weather. lack of
food for a limited time and severe
exploitation over wide areas. This
ability assures prosperity.
MusKrat TO most Americans means
a fur coat. The life and its hazards
as lived by muskrats are as a closed
book to 80 per cent of our American
citizens. Yet, this native is an in
dustrious and rather intelligent
citizen. He must be. to offset the
trappers, animal foes and other
causes which tend to reduce the
number of muskrats. Despite all the
handicaps, this valuable fur animal
is able to make a strong comeback
when given any chance at all, for he
is alert enough to seize every op-
portunity as it is presented.
With the exception of the red
fox and the gray wolf, the muskrat
has the widest range among North
American animals. From the Pacific
to the Atlantic coast, from the Gulf
of Mexico to the Arctic Ocean the
muskrat is to be found. though there
are several areas within the vast
realm that have been vacated by
this animal.
How do you account for such per-
SiStence? The muskrat is a prolific
breeder There are from four to
nine muSklings born in each litter.
In the Middle States the first group
appears in April, the second in late
June or July, the third in August or
September, and in the warmer
climates fourth and fifth litters
are produced.
These babies are naked. blind and
helpless. Their food consists entirely

 The Stripes continued their los- ing ways at the expense of the Eagles and dropped another game of the pace. However, the erst- while leaders have promsied to re- form and are going to do their level best to get that lead back.
 The battle of the season is on the books for tonight. The rampaging Reds and Christie's Blues will rol! off that first place deadlock. On paper the teams stack up even- stephen. The Reds have won six in a row from the Blues but they'll find a more dangerous rival this time.
