IT HAS been in my heart many
i times TO write TO you TO ex-
press the gratitude feel for your
steadfast and courageous stand
against communism In this country
and everywhere. Thousands of
other American women feel as

The most important obligation
of mothers and educators today Is
10 convince our growing girls and
boys that there Is no good and
needed change In our social system
that they may not have or rather
help US to develop, under their
own magnificent constitution.
Keep up the good work. and be-
lieye that constantly increasing

LONDON, May 3.-RAF planes
silenced a number of Iraqi artil-
lery batteries today as heavy
fighting around the British-held
Habbaniya air base entered its
second day.
Authoritative quarters in Lon
don said last-minute dispatches
revealed British planes had
bombed and machine-gunned the
Iraqui batteries out of action.
OTHER CLASHES
Fighting at two other points IN
Iraq was reported. An official
Iraqi communique relayed = via
Berne. Switzerland, said:
"A British attack on the post
and airdr0me at Rutbah, In
western Iraq, was repulsed."
The communique said that 26
British planes were destroyed at

tanks were abandoned at the air.

dropped 80 tons of bombs.
Berlin reported that Iraui
troops also attacked the airport at
Sindebane, which is occupied by
the British.
OPENING SKIRSuSH
Informed British sources de-
scribed the fighting between the
British and Iraq forces as the
opening skirmish of a major strug.
gle for control of Mesopotania's
priceless oil fields.
Word that heavy fighting was
still in progress this afternoon
followed broadcast by the Bag
dad radio urging the people Of
lraq to take up arms against
Britain and fight the invader who
landed troops on our soil with the
sole object of enslaving U.S."
An appeal by Iraq Premier
Rashid Ali Beg Gallant to Berlin
for German assistance against the
British was regarded as the fuse
which may bring Britain and the
Axis powers to grips in deadly
warfare in the plains of southwest
Asia.
Rashid Ais appeal to Berlin for
help was followed within few
hours by reports of an alarming
infiltration" of Nazi troops into
French-mandated Syria.

louise said British women and
children in Iraq are being evae-

With warfare raging in the near

Vitally important pipe lines that
carry oil TO the British naval base
at Haifa run to Palestine from
Iraq and Iran. According to the

Local company officials ex-
planned that this clause would
have little effect on the major
concerns inasmuch as contracts
with labor provided for a bonus

least two instances was paid last
December for the year 1871. Other
concerns either have no contract
governing this point. or do not
recognize a vacation period as a
company obligation.

will be affected by this suggestion
due to labor contracts calling for
vacation with pay.

they move from Glasgow out

kIwanians Anxious
10 Aid Defense
Study Possible Plans
for Notionol Benefit

oATLANTA, June 10 R -
Anxious to aid national defense,
Kiwanis international gave con-
alteration today to several pro-
posals in that direction.
One would have each Kiwanis
club sponsor group of 20
young men for enlistment in the
,army's flying cadet training pro-
gram. Representatives of the av-
iation cadet board outlined this
plan to James p. Neal, resolu-
tons chairman, for presentation
to the more than 5000 delegates
to the Kiwanis International
convention.
Major John F. Guillett and
Lieut.. c. j. Weinmeister, the
boards representatives, said it
would be arranged for each
group to complete its aerial
training together.
Highway safety, the develop
ment of spiritual values, care of
under-privileged children and
better relations with Canada all
were stressed at the convention
as having bearings on the de-
tense movement.
A convention group planning
COMMUNICATIVE safety pro-
grams for the 2,025 Kiwanis
towns in the United States and
Canada was told that the traffic
accident toll was equal to many
tons of enemy bombs.
"Our country is engaged in
an about effort to defend it.
SELF" said Ernest H. Matthias of
Waterloo, Iowa. ITO accomplish
that goal, we must first close
every avenue of waste. The ris-
ing number of traffic accidents
is causing confusion and
delay"
United States rela-
tions were discussed by Charles
Dilley of Port Arthur, Ontario,
agricultural chairman for XII
wants International. He said a
better understanding between
urban and rural groups was q
prerequisite to improved inter
national relations.

GLASGOW, Scotland. June ID
The trout and salmon in Loeb
Lomond are willy. and you're
never sure Of landing one until
It's actually in the boat.
The Scot I was with caught
tive to my one. and after three
hours we rowed to shore and
cooked two over q wood fire.
His name was James Adam.
and sitting around that fire in
the drizzle they call Scotch mist.
which Is something like what
Californians call . high dew and
which can mean any downpour
up to 10 inches, you wouldn't
have guessed the man had lost
his home the week before.
German planes had descended
upon Glasgow two night in
row that week, when the moon
was clear and brilliant, and only
after dropping thousands Of in
cendiaries and hundreds of high
explosives which damaged thou
sands of homes did they leave
the stricken area.
YOU CAN FORGET
A LOT OF THINGS
James Adam lost his home
during the second night of that
blitz. But. he said, una family
and fishing tackle were all safe
in the wee Anderson shelter"
They moved in with friends
the next day, who lived in an
other part of the city. And
because his small clothing store
remained intact, he didn't have
to apply to the government for
help to keep going.
But it had been such a week
of stress that Adam had decided
to take his tackle out to Loeb
Lomond and spend the day fish
ing. Which was q good idea, be-
cause around the shores of this
lake, which is some % miles
long and reminds you of Lake
Arrowhead in California except
that the surrounding hills and
moorland are less rugged. you

what a lot of other Adamses

probably would depend to q
great degree on the attitude
Germany takes when Berlin
receives the state departments
Forthcoming protest over the
sinking of the American mer-
chantmen Robin Moor by a sub
marine in the south Atlantic.
PREDICT ACTION
Well-informed congressional
sources already were predicting
that arming of the ships would
be necessary, but President
Roosevelt avoided any comment
on that possibility.
The question or arming the
merchant vessels was raised at
Mr.. Roosevelt's press conference
yesterday. The president was
asked whether any thought had
been given to the subject after
the torpedoing of the Robin
Moor.
Mr.. Roosevelt replied that the
United States had plans ready
for arming her merchantmen
and had had them ready since
1918.
Have they come out of the
safe YETI" a reporter inquired.
Mr.. Roosevelt said not at his
request, and let II 60 at that.
POSITION NOT CLEAR
Answering another query, he
said he did not know whether
congressional authority would
be needed to order the arming
of the merchant marine.
The question recalled the Bit
ter senate battle of February,
1917 over President Wilson's
request for such authority. A
-filibuster by eleven senator's
Wilson denounced them as ga
little group of wilful mem
successfully blocked the legisla-
ton. Wilson subsequently, an
nounced his determination to
take the action on executive
authority, but the issue was
quickly cancelled by the United
States formal entry into the
war on April 6.
AVOIDS TOPIC
President Roosevelt preferred
to say nothing yesterday on the
sinking of the Robin Moor
first American ship torpedoed
in the present war. He disclosed,
however, that he had read the
survivors report on which the
state department based its
charge that q Nazi U-boat was
responsible for the sinking.
The state department, mean
while. considered its case
against Germany complete in
the Robin Moor incident. It was
indicated that the testimony of
the IL survivors who landed in
Brazil was ample, but the cor
roborating evidence of the 35
missing survivors who reached
South Africa Monday will also
be studied before a note of pro-
test is drafted.
The fact that no lives were
lost, officials said, did not affect
the governments grounds for
protest in the slightest.
If the government should de-
eide to arm merchant ships in
the future, the navy has SUBJ
stantial quantities of guns and
mounts in storage to meet
requirements. Some of the ord
nance dates back to World War
days and some is of more recent
manufacture. Arminr the ships
probably would give the navy
the problem of supplying train
ed gun crews-a demand apt to
make ihroads on fleet personnel.
