President AsksStudy
For Reorganization

Greater Coordination
Sought; DeIono to
Stoy Resignation

President Roosevelt disclosed this
afternoon that ne is asking the
Budget Bureau to begin an imme-
diAte study of reorganization of the
park and planning responsibilities
for the Capital.
The President, is taking this ac-
ton, it was made known, on sug-
gestion of Chairman Frederic A.
Delano of the Park and. Planning
Commission. Pending the survey,
directed at greater coordination
of all activities pertaining to public
plans and buildings in the District,
Chairman Delano said he will with
hold his planned resignation from
the commission.
In a letter to the Chief Executive,
Mr.. Delano recalled that his retire
ment from this commission because
of his age and increasing responsible
tiles has seemed desirable but might

ton Of a reorganization program.
cumbersome" Setup.
Admittedly" Mr.. Delano wrote
''the original scheme of park and
planning commission was perhaps
the best that could have been
worked out Is or more years ago
but at best it was somewhat cum
| bersome piece of machinery set UP
in order to accomplish co-ordina-
ton between the District Commit
tees of the Senate and House, the
District Commissioners, the Chief
of Engineers Office, the Public
Buildings and Private Parks Office
etc.
The commission was given only
one important administrative duty
and that was the purchase of lanc
for parks and Fairgrounds. Other
wise it was solely a planning ant
co-ordinating committee. That i
has worked as well as 1t has il
largely due to the four private
citizen members who have givel
generously of their time ant
thought. The ex-offlcio members
originally seven in number, nov
six. have in several cases given n,
time to the commissions work, o
have sent representatives not al

There has been no direct tell
with the Commission of Fine Arts
with the Bureau of Public Roads o
with the Bureau of the Budget.
Excellent Suggestion.
"The failure at times of our re
lations with the District Commits
sioners, and the not unnatura
criticism of the District government
that the Park and Planning Com
mission was authorized to do tn
planning, but that it (the Distric
government) must find the money
is easy to understand. And yet tn
Park and Planning Commission ha
always been called before the Bu
reau of the Budget and the Appro
priations Committees of both house
of Congress, and has had the dut,
as we'll as the opportunity to ex
press its views and explain its po
sition.
For all these reasons it seem
as if my retirement from the com
mission suggests that it is now al
appropriate time to reconsider tn
setup on sounder basis"
In his letter of reply the Presi
dent informed Mr.. Delano that h
considered it an excellent sugges
ton that the present administrativ
machinery be re-examined.
81 will ask the Bureau of tn
Budget" he said, ito begin such
study as soon as possible. if in tn
meanwhile you will consent to re
main as chairman for the next fe'
months"

Petain Urges

Marshal Says
ny the Associated Press.

Gy the Associated Press.
vICHY, France, May 15.-Chief
of State Marshal Petain told the
French people tonight sit is up
to you - to follow me without
mental reservations" after he
had informed them the German
French negotiations have lighted
"the pathway to the future"
The marshal assured the nation
If, "in the strict discipline of our
public mentality" France Is able
successfully to carry on the nego-
tiations with Germany she will be
able to rise above her defeat and
maintain her world rank as Euro
pean and colonial power"
This is the whole text of Petains
two minute, ID d n y-announced
radio message on the negotiations
still continuing between Adolf Hitler
and Admiral Jean Darlan, the
French Vice Premier and Foreign
Minister:
"Frenchmen!
"You have learned that Admiral
Darlan recently had an interview
with the Chancellor in Germany. I
had approved the idea of such a
meeting.
Lights Path to Future.
This new interview permits us to
light up the pathway to the future
and continue discussions undertaken
with the German government.
To-day it is no longer up to public
opinion. often worried because ILL
informed, to weigh our chances,
measure our risks, judge our actions.
"It is up to YOU the French, to
follow me without mental reserva-
tions on the road of honor and of
national interest.
eff in the strict discipline of our
public mentality we are able sue
cessfully to carry on the negotia-
tions under way, France will be able
to rise above her defeat and main
tain her world rank as a European
and colonial power.
That, my friends, Is all I have
to tell you today"
There was a growing impression
tonight In informed French circles
that Vice Premier Darlan's negotia-
tions with Germany, as approved
by the French government, gained
time for France.
These circles insist that no
definite agreement was reached
merely a large system of collabora-
ton being established
Unconfirmed reports circulated
that Admiral Darlan's next collabo-
ration meeting would be with the
German foreign minister, Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, perhaps at Paris.
The reports were accepted in some
circles as having the earmarks of
truth since it now was logical to
start detailed negotiations.
Censorship Re established.
The French pointed out, however,
particularly to Americans, that such
negotiations naturally would last a
considerable time.
The impression was being fos-
tered by authorized French circles
that the present situation is frankly
one of compulsion and does not con-
tain any menace so far as the
United States is concerned unless
there is an out and out attack by
the United States on French pos
sessions.
A few minutes before it was an
nounced that the marshal would
make his short, unexpected speech,
the French re-established full CEN
sorship regarding all stories con-
corning negotiations between France
and Germany

BOOKS FOR THE KEYS

County commissioners apparently are
looking with favor on the travelling library
plan outlined by WPA representative Mrs.
Marjorie Emmons this week and backed
by the Key West Woman's club.
Several of the commissioners admit
teddy were puzzled by the rather devious
method of finance worked out by WPA,
but all of .thep1 agreed that a phantom get
ting books to school children and residents
of the upper keys is of prime Importance.
If the commissioners find they are able
to finance the "bookmobile" plan, they will
be Joining a list of hundreds of counties
throughout the United States who have
taken advantage of the set-up offered by
the government. At the same time, they
will be doing a great service to school chill
dren, particularly the younger ones, VINO
can't get good books in or around Key
West.
The system worked out by, WPA,
briefly, is this:
Mrs. Emmons, through the federal
agency. will provide an automobile dealer
with 70 cents for each hour in which the
truck is in USE The money will cover
rental, gas and oil, and enough more so that
in nine months of consistent use, the cnasS
Of the truek will be fully paid for and turned
over to the county. 49,. ~,.....,.,
WPA will lend the county 81, 600
WORTH of books for period of from one to
two years, with the provision that during
that time the county must buyaenough books
to stock the bookmobile when WPA with
draws it's books for use in another locality
WPA will provide a driver for the
truck and clerical help, at least for several
years
The county, for its part, will spend in
the neighborhood of $3.50 for the frame
work of the ''bookmobile," buy its books
over the two-year period and eventually
take over the burden of the driver and
clerical help. At the expiration of the first
nine months, during which time the chassis
must be paid for, the county will begin to
furnish it's own gas and oil.
AS one of the commissioners remark
ed, "You can't drink champagne on beer
income but it still sounds like good idea.

BOXING AT ANNAPOLIS

NA
For FL years boxing has been proml-
nent feature of physical training at the
United States Naval Academy at Annap-
oils, and teams of misshipmen have given
gccd account of themselves in inter-col-
legiata meets. 1t now has been decided to
eliminate competition with outside teams,
and confine boxing meets to personnel of
the academy only.
In announcing the change, Rear AID
mi1a Russell Wilson, superintendent at
Annapolis, said that a study of the adj
vantages and disadvantages of intercol-
legiate boxing had led to the conclusion
that better instruction with increased bene-
fit to more midshipmen will result from
limiting participation to their own ranks.
The department of physical training
will continue to give boxing instruction to
all midsipmen, and points won in inter-bat-
talon meets willlcount towaEdgthe coverted
battalion trophy awarded anhaiaaly for ex-
cellence insathletics.
In recent years OFFICERS and their
guests attending Annapolis boxing meets
as spectators have been requested to wear
full dress uniforms or formal attire, and
their ladies have worn evening gowns. This
has resulted in colorful sports spectacle,
partaking of the character of social event.
The head coach of the Navy boxing
team, H. NJ. (Spike) Webb, is nationally
known figure in collegiate athletics, and
has held that position since the sport was
made regular part of the academy's ath-
letic training in 1920. He has also coached
American boxing teams for the Olympic
games.

BY OPHELIA

After period of dark and
ominous silence Ophelia makes her
comeback today With a bagiul Of
news abodt the Players, and no
time for foolishness. The final
report on the benefit dance and
three one-act plays given in
March, while of no size compared
to the billions now commonly
tossed off our tongues, gave us
pleasant glow of accomplishment.
| We earned at least enough to buy
a few bricks for the Playhouse we
hope some day to have, and well
ccme all bricks or brickbats You
may have to contribute.
A, new contingent has been
added to the Key West Players
since last we appeared in this
journal; the Junior Players they
, call themselves, and though they
may be Juniors they have the
stuff it takes to be Marlowes and
Barrymores. At present the
group is composed of Connie
Cobo, Jean Davis, Lefty Sullivan
Nancy Morgan and Sara Bowser
and they are doing their work un.
der the able direction of Mrs
Sutherland and Mrs. Stuart.
At the meeting of the Players
Thursday night they presented
for the entertainment of the adult
group two skits1a chapter from
Page MISS Glory with Sara
Bowser and Jean Davis as two
blase and incompetent chamber
maids, long on repartee but short
on busting. and a scene from
Pure as the Driven Snow, with
EConnie Cobo as Purity Dean
Nancy Morgan as the stalwart
hero Leander Longfellow, and
Lefty Sullivan as the mustachioed
villain who brought down the
house with her carryings-on. The
Juniors have energy and en-
thusiasm and the PLAYERS well
come them with pride and
pleasure.
1t has been decided to present
one more play this season, prob
ably some time late in May, and
the play chosen is THE Ghost
Flies South, an extremely anus
ing comedy of errors. Tentative
casting was done Thursday night
the casting committee will meet
with Mrs. Ricketts, on Tuesday
night, and the complete cast and
date will be announced in next
weeks column. Until then Adios

SPEEDING NAVAL CONSTRUCTION

The construction of combatant ships
for the Navy. has been speeded up with the.
result that the first of the As, 0o0-ton battle
ships are scheduled TO be commissioned
about thirteen months ahead Of time, Some
l0.000-ton cruisers are as much as ten
months ahead of schedule and even de-
stroyers are being pushed to completion
nearly six months ahead of contract time.
These reports relate to the eonstruc-
tior progress of ships that were underway
before the two-oeean navy was provided hy
Congress. This will require about 245
ships, already contracted for. but, as We
understand il, only thirty are now under
actual construction. New facilities are be-
ing rushed to expedite completion of the
two-ocean navy.
