Answer to YesteFdoy's Puzzle
-Domoscus Hos Street Called Stroiqht'

About 100000 persons live in Da-
mascus, and four-fifths of them are
Moslems. They spend much of
their time reading the Koran and
going to mosques to pray. At least
once in his life, each Moslem tries
to make journey to Mecca, where
Mohammed was born.
At Mecca it is the custom to kiss
the Black Stone inside the walls Of
a mosque. Legend says the angel
Gabriel gave this stone to Abraham; !;
probably 1t Is the cinder OF a meteor
which fell at, or near, Mecca long
ago.
Most of the streets of Damascus
are crooked, but one is known as
"the Street Called Straight It is
lined with great numbers Of shops,
or bazaars. Camels loaded with
goods make up much OF the street
trafIic.

Methodism among Negroes III
this section came largely through
the efforts Of John Stewart free
Negro who served as q Missionary
to the Indians. William Paul
Quinn and Willis Nazery, Mis-
sionaries Of the African Metho-
dist Episcopal church were re-
sponsible for influencing these
early Colored Methodists to or
ganize themselves as Bethel A.

The Bethel A.M.E. church has
served five generations Of De-
troitcrs. The Negro population
Of the city numbered less than
500 when the Couored Methods
Society began its work whic led
to the establishment OF Bethel
church under the control of tho

Earlier Story on Page Al

tEari1er story on rage A-Z.D
BY the Associated Press.
. The Defense Mediation Board
called on the Aluminium Co. Of
America and a C. 1. o. union today
to maintain uninterrupted produc-
ton at five plants in which the un-
ion has threatened a strike.
A hearing was set by the board
for next Friday in Washington.
The Aluminium Workers of Amer
lea &C. I. o. have demanded the
elimination of a wage differential
between Northern and Southern
plants.
Plants involved are located in New
Kensington, Pa; Detroit Alcoa,
Tenn; Edgewater, N. j., and Badin,
N. c.
Also before the board is another
dispute involving only the plant at
New Kensington. In that case the
union is seeking wage dif1erential
for afternoon and night shifts.
Earlier today the Labor Depart
ment had certified the threatened
strike to the board
The Mediation Board also an
nounced an agreement had been
reached for settlement of the dis
pute between the A. F. l.. and Todd
Galveston Drydocks. Inc, Calves
ton, Tex.
Details of the agreement. which
is subject to ratification by the
union, were not disclosed.
Board officials said that the Gal
weston Metal Trades Council CA. F.
L. and the International Brother
hood of Boilermakers, Iron Ship
builders and Helpers of America CA.
F. L. would meet Tuesday night in
Galveston to consider the agree
ment.
About 1850 workers in a ship re-
pair yard were involved in the dis
pute. A tanker which belonged to
the Italians, British ship and
Maritime Commission ship are in
the yard for repairs.
The union called a strike on July
Is but returned to work on August
II after the case was sent to the
Board.
At issue was a union demand for
a written agreement and what the
union termed union security.

British Told Not 10 Expect
Early Victory Over Nazis

By the Associated Press.
NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, Eng
land. Aug. 16.-Capt. H. D. R. Mar
gesson, War Secretary, cautioned
the British today against expecting
an early victory, no matter what
losses the Germans suffer in the
Russian campaign.
There are no signs of the war
drawing to a quick and pleasant
conclusion" he told an audience.
1--WE cannot look forward to an
early return to our peaceful way of
life. We would be traitors to our
cause and our country if we allowed
ourselves even to think this war
was being won for us by some one
else.
THE German Armies are made
of stern stuff. They suffered far
greater losses in the last war and
recovered from them"
He conceded, however, that "this
Russian adventure has bred a spirit
of misgiving not merely among Ger
man soldiers, but, and this is far
more important, in the German
people. That spirit is deepened by
the hostility of the occupied terri
tories"

Capt. Callahan 10 Head
School for Detectives

Inspector Edward J. Kelly, acting
superintendent of the Metropolitan
Police Department, announced to-
day the establishment of school
for detectives within the depart
ment, to be under the direct super
vision of Capt. Harvey Callahan, a
graduate of the Federal Bureau of
Investigation Special School.
Expressing confidence that the
school will have the cooperation
of the Bureau of Investigation in
the organization and conduct of its
classes, Inspector Kelly declared
that the school at the outset will be
attended by regular detectives and
members of the uniformed force
who display detective ability. He
added that although it is impossible
for all members of the detective
force to receive training at once,
all will be eventually included. Lieu
tenants and captains on the force
may also attend classes, he said.
Inspector Kelly said the courses
will probably begin within 10 days.

President Finds
'Democrdcies in
Full Accord
Declares PorIew
Had Been Planned
Since February
BY JOHN C. HENRY,
Star Staff Correspondent.

ROCKLAND, Me, Aug. 16.-
The United States is no closer to
war as a result of the history
making Atlantic conferences be-
tween President Roosevelt and
Prime Minister Churchill, the
President told press conference
aboard his yacht Potomac here
this afternoon. The President
landed here shortly after 2 pm.
and departed by train for Wash
ington.
At the same time. Mr.. Roosevelt
told more than two score reporters
who crowded his ship that his con-
sultations with Mr.. Churchill had
been eminently successful and had
left a complete understanding be-
tween the active heads Of these two
governments.
The President disclosed. too. that
the joint meetings which eliminated
last week in the eight-point declara-
ton of war and peace aims of the
United States and Great Britain had
been under consideration since last
February and would have been held
earlier except for the fighting first
in Greece and then in Crete.
Asked whose idea the conferences
were, Mr. Roosevelt replied they
were joint conception.
No Differences of Opinion.
Primarily, he said. the consulta-
tions were for an interchange Of
views, present and future; a swap
ping of information which proved
to be an eminent success. In as
senting to a question If there was
complete understanding between
the parties involved. he declared
there was nothing that was not
discussed, and implied at this point
that there were no material differ
ences of opinion.
Questioned about how the broad
terms of the eight-point declara-
tion are to be implemented, the
President said there would be a
continuance of the interchanges of
information and opinions AS it
might involve increased material
aid to another nation in the anti
Axis orbit, Russia, Mr.. Roosevelt
said that the problem of aiding the
Red armies resolves itself into two
| categories.
First, he explained. is that of
rushing all available material in
time for the summer campaign. Sec
! ond, he went on, is that of planning
additional assistance in supplies in
time for the opening of the spring
campaign.
Strikes at Nazi-ism.
All of this, he added, must be
fitted into domestic defense needs
and the program of lease-lend aid
to Britain and China. Russia still
will not participate in lease-lend,
he added, since her cash resources
are still adequate for outright pur-
chasing.
Reminded that his outline of the
Russian aid program implied an
assumption that Soviet resistance
to the German invasion would con-
tinue into another year, the PreSi-
dent affirmed this Interpretation of
his beliefs.
Mr.. Roosevelt took occasion at one
point in his press conference to
strike at Nazi-ism, remarking that
