Looks for CuIprit

SAIGON, French Undo China,
Nov. 25.-The Governor General to-
day asked the United States Consul
Sydney Brown to convey regrets to
Washington for the bombing of the

A Tokyo radio broadcast, picked

active in Indo-China and the bomb
ing attempt is an attempt by such
elements to break up peace negotia-

Attempted British Thrust
Across English Channel Is
Exaggeraiedb by Nazi Chief
by Associated Press

A bulletin from Hitler's head
quarters gave this brief account of
a purported British thrust across
the English Channel
THE British attempt TO effect a
landing on the French coast of the
English Channel by some boats was
repulsed by the German coastal
defenses with heavy losses"
In London, the Ministry of IN
formation, said "a small British pa
troll" landed on the Normandy coast
Sunday night and the lone casualty
was a man who was struck in the
arm with a machine gun bullet.
The Ministry of Information ad-
ded: The enemy is betraying
anxiety about our intentions in re-
gard to the coast occupied territory
and hopes by making exaggerated
claims to elicit information but this
will be held from him.

WESTINGHOUSE the last few
years, as a result of numerous dis
closures of members of Congress
padding their Official payrolls with
relatives, nepotism has become clas-
sified in the public mind as pecu-
liarly Congressional institution.
However, this gravy-train practice
is not confined to the denizens of
Capitol Hill 1t also is to be found
in other high places.
One of them is the CLIO.
John L. Lewis, whose captive coal
mines strike precipitated national
crisis and a boycott by CLIO leaders
of the governments defense labor
peace machinery, has one of the
latest nepotism records in Wash
ington.
In addition to himself, three OF
his close relatives are drawing down
paychecks that make a miners 81
day look like chicken feed. The total
take" of the family would make a
bank president envious
Because of the closely guarded
secrecy cloaking CLIO and United
Mine Worker finances, it is not pos
sible to state positively what all the
four Lewises are paid. Requests for
this information have been repeat
eddy refused. However, from official
reports and informed CLIO and UNIV

Ndzi Spokesman Makes Comment Regarding
 President s Address

BERLIN, May 29.-The author ized government spokesman, in a short statement on the fireside chat address of President Roosevelt, call- ed the President "tactless" for hav- ing made his address with a gath ering of Latin American ands Can adian diplomats about him.
 The German spokesman said that such declaration of policy was an intimation and effort to create the impression of unified Western Hemisphere.
 The spokesman questioned the right of the President to speak for all of the American people.
 The address, according to the spokesman, represented very little that was new except a declaration of an emergency and consequent requirement of greater sacrifice of the American people. We have the impression the President spoke with uncertainty on many points, probably as consequence Of a num- Der of reverses he has suffered"

 Christening of Navy Ship
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 29-Christ- ening battleship Cor any other ship for that matteD generally gets a lot of attention.
 Miss or Mrs. So-and-so socks the prov with bottle of champagne and while Miss or Mrs. So-and-sc is trying to brush the bubble-water off her orchid corsage, the ship slides down the ways. The cameras grind and the flash bulbs flash and the head writers write US s Plunkett Is Launched at Brook lyn'
 That isn't the whole story of get ting a ship under steam at all. A really good story which never is written or photographed r comes when they "step the mainmast."
 Let's take a recent big ship and run through this ceremony and think you'll get what I mean Stepping the mainmast"-as a ceremony-is probably a lot older than christening. It goes back be- yond Roman times and has its roots in superstition.
 A few days ago when the U.S.S North Carolina - newest of tha modern battleships was ready for the ceremony at Philadelphia group of workmen and naval officers assembled down in hel lowest depths and tossed coins into the base of the metal shaf that is the ships mainmast. The. tossed coins until $7.71 in U. $ money, a St. Christopher's medal an English penny, an Englisf half-penny and Chinese cash had clnked into the shallow, l7A inch pie plate that is the mainmas base. A cover was screwed ove this and then the mainmast wa! swung into position and screwed down.
