Secretary F. Knox Makes Strong Address for Com
 batting German Menace

WASHINGTON, July 1.-Secre- tary of Navy Frank Knox's call for the immediate use of the United States Navy to "clear the Atlantic of the German menace" led the Capital City to wonder today wheth- CT he was limiting at an important change in the Administrations poll icy regarding Nazi sea activities.
 The direct language the Navy Secretary used in speech in Bos- ton last night gave rise to the belief in some quarters there is to be a definite revision of the contemplat- ed existing naval strategy.
 The Navy Secretary addressed the annual conference of Governors and urged that the naval forces be used to deal Hitler smashing blow even though it involved the risk and dan- ger of a sacrifice in the extreme, and if need be, American blood"
 The address, it is agreed here, went farther than any other Cabinet officer has gone in any previous public pronouncement.

 FIRE ABOARD PICNIC YACHT
Five Bodies Recovered h. diedting All on Graft Z
 Have Met Death

HARPSWELL, Maine, July 1.- Discovery of five bodies, one of them badly burned, led searchers to believe all 35 members of a gay picnic party that set out Sunday in the 44-foot cabin cruiser Don, might have perished after fire swept the craft.
 The tragedy, the worst in the memory of the residents of this rocky coast, apparently occurred in the fog -enshrouded waters of lower Casco Bay, while the party of Fum- ford. Maine, residents, were return ing from Monhegan Island, 40 miles from here, and out in the open At lantic Ocean.
 Carlton Smith, one of the many searchers, said undoubtedly an ex- plosion occurred aboard the heavily loaded Don. He spoke after bring ing ashore the body identified as that of Miss Elizabeth Howard, bank employee. She had been burned badly on the legs and one hip.
 The first five bodies found are those of women.

International Situation
 Has Humorous Side; This
 Revealed in Recent Junkei
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON. July 1--If any proof is needed that there is hu- nor yet in the international situa- tion, it may be found in the off, the-record stories from that jun ket which the Latin American Ad- mirals recently were accorded in a coast-to-coast survey of United States defenses.
 Here are some of the first-hand yarns which leaked out after the Admirals returned to Washington and bid adios:
 The two chartered airlines and the two transport planes (which carried the party's luggage) were flying in formation over the Grand Canyon. As one member of the group expressed it, there is nothing so staggering as the perpendicular beauty of the Canyon with only multi-colored cathedral spires and turreted castles of mile-high rock to mark it's dizzy descents.
 Among others gazing down into the canyons awesome depths was Vice-Admiral Gustayo Shrode CT, )f Uruguay tthe same who was n command of Montevideo Har- DOT when the crippled Graf Spec imped in and who notified the Nazi commander that he had bet CT be off pronto or else the Uru- guayan navy would have itself a fine new German battleship).
 When the Vice-Admiral coughed and hemmed and hawed, an Am crican officer stepped to his side and drawing his conclusion from the terrific bumpiness of the air over the canyon, asked the Ad- .niral if he were ill.
 Not at all," Admiral Shroder replied, still staring down. T was just thinking what inconvenient country to be in with only bi- ,ycle."

TOO MUCH PORTABILITY?

One night about halfway through the 24-day junket, the American officers held a conference to dis cuss how things were going. One of the chief officers presided. He had spent many years in Peru and had travelled extensively elsewhere in South America. .sso it was with some testiness that he answered the Navy medical officer who com plained that the Latin Americans were being subjected to too much stiffness and formality.
 "The trouble with you," said the presiding officer. lis that you don't know Latin Americans. I'm giving them what they like"
 It was four days before anyone had the heart to tell the presiding officer that he had been talking to half-Puerto Rican. who had been born, reared and had worked for

WASHINGTON = The new lend- lease appropriation that has been tentatively agreed on by inner ad- visers is $5,O00,O000
 With the ' billion voted by Con- gress several months ago, this would make a total of 12 billion for aid to the cemocracies. Yet this stupend- ous sum is still considerably short of what was originally proposed, also of what probably will be ultimately required.
 It's a White House secret, but the first lend-lease program submitted added up to 5000 ,0O0. 900. This was slashed to billion by the Army and Navy and then still further cut to 2 billion by the Budget Bureau. The last figure was approved by the President and sent to Congress.
 One reason for the new appro- priation is that many of the original price estimates have been found to be far too low, particularly in the case of planes, ships and guns. Ris- ing costs, due to changes in con- struction, more expensive new mod els, and increased production charges, made it impossible to con- tract for these items at the original estimates and more money is needed to fulfill the program.
 Another reason for the lend-lease boost is heavy outlays for repairs on battle damaged British warships, of which a number are now in U. s. yards. This type of aid is running into big money.
 Most important, however, is the urgent needs for expansion of the whole aid-democracies program Britain, China and the other Axis foes require increased assistance to meet the greatly enlarged resources of the Nazis brought by their con- quest of E,.-ope.
 Britain today must stand off not only the industrial power of Ger many, but also that of France, Bel gium, Holland, Rumania, Hungary, and other Nazi victims. So if Britain is to continue fighting she must secure much more help from the United States. Without such aid she will quickly be overwhelmed by sheer weight of material.
