air attacks have not drained British

German air bombsrdments have put
most of the important East English
ports out of commission. There are
only five ports on the west coast
being used by incoming vessels. They
are Bristol, Cardiff, Swansea, Bir-

them, like Bristol, have suffered
some damage from Nazi air attacks,
but on the whole they are capable
of accommodating ships bringing
vital foodstuffs, raw materials and
munitions.
The predicted Nazi attack on
Greece and the long-anticipated at

Spain will be aimed at closing the

stood ladling out the scanty fare. A
little white-haired old lady dropped
out of line bearing in her hand a
small sprig Of "muguet" Oily of the

very old lady and she looked very
weary with the accumulated trou-
bles of all her years. but she might
have been queen with the simple
grace with which she presented her
offerings to the manageress. 1t was

on this day in Belgium as symbol
of good luck. When the little old
lady resumed her place, many were
smiling and for a moment the spirit
of fellowship transcribed the mean

Heavily on This Work,
He Says in Report

Describing American ability and

by the National Resources Planning
Board.
For the vigorous prosecution of
our defense program" Mr.. Roose-
welt said in special message ac-
companying the report, land for the
assurance of national progress after
the emergency, we rely heavily on
the continued vitality Of research by
industry in both pure and applied
science
The research report submitted,
the President explained, is one of
series on research resources being
prepared by the Planning Board
with the assistance of scientific
councils and committees. The Ma
tional Academy of Sciences and the
National Research Council organized
and presented this volume of the
series.
The report presents" Mr.. Roose-
welt said. "a clear record of how
successfully we have translated our
old-time Yankee ingenuity for in
vention into American genius for
research. Our scientists have un-
covered and explained the secrets
of nature, applied them to industry.
and thus raised our standards of
living, strengthened our defense and
enriched our national life"
Commencing the report TO a care
flu! reading by members of Con-
greSs. Mr.. Roosevelt quoted the fol-
lowing paragraph
More efficient and economic
methods have conserved our re-
sources, new materials have made
possible better products, and new
products have contributed to the
health, pleasure and comfort Of
the general public. Such changes
have not taken place without some
temporary miSfortunes. Here and
there industries have disappeared
