Fresh Air Induction

A new all-Weather Ventilating
system has been worked out in
conjunction with the anti-draft
Iventipanes. 1t is a fresh air in
Iduction method with ducts leading
through the greatly increased
cooling area of the grille into the
passenger compartment. Two in
strument buttons control the open
ing of these ducts, so that they
may be individually adjusted. A
complete turnover in passenger
compartment air is possible in a
few seconds.
Super-Safe brakes which Cadif-
lac introduces were devised TO
make high speed braking more
secure. A new brake drum con-
'struction, heavier than formerly
used by automobiles, is one secret
of continuous positive action. In
addition. the braking system in
lcorporates a new design in sealing
that guarantees safety under al
driving conditions.
A cooler-running engine is made
possible by a 10 per cent increase
in the cars frontal ventilation
area. The thermostatic control j.
the best yet devised for an engine

for more ships to fill blanks left in

Patriotism No Factor
In Defense Strikes,
Mrs. Roosevelt SAYS
Each Side Only Trying
TO Get Just Returns
She Declares

Strikes in defense industries show
no lack OF patriotism on the part
of labor, Mrs. Roosevelt told her
press conference today.
Warning against becoming "over-
excited by the outbreak of strikes,
the Presidents wife declared I'VE
should remember we are not yet
at war and I hope will not be
at war"
The public, she said, should know
the rights and wrongs of the sit
uation, but should not consider the
strikes "a case of patriotism"
I'VE should look upon this from
the point of view of two groups
management and labor trying to
assure just returns for what they
are doing" she said.
I'VE must find ways of meeting
the objections Of both sides, but
we're not up against a question Of
their lacking in patriotism"
Calls Bills "Nonsense."
She termed perfect nonsense"
bills introduced in various State
Legislatures which would outlaw
strikes as treason punishable by
death.
The Presidents wife added that
she believed management and labor
should be willing to submit to
mediation as quickly as possible 'be-
cause speed is the essense Of what
we can do at the present time"
She indicated she considered
strikes a matter of differences of
opinion" as to what constitutes
lust returns" for labor.
Asked to comment on a recent
case where a man in uniform from
Fort Meade was refused service in
night club. Mrs. Roosevelt replied
that other diners in a restaurant
where men in uniform are refused
service should get up and leave"
Speaking Generally.
When one of the newspaperwomen
however, said she understood that
the management of the night club
had said the table where the ser.
geant had seated himself was re.
served and that no other tables were
available. Mrs. Roosevelt said she
was speaking generally.
One must expect, she said, that
any man in uniform should feel a
responsibility for the way he be-
haves, but ANY boy who behaves

from which she has just returned,

ported no organized vice in nearby
Fayetteville, but added that every
effort was being made to keep as
many men on the post as possible.
Pointing to the letters she receives
from mothers anxious because their
sons are living in tents, she said the
health record had been better at
the camp before the men were moved
from tents to barracks.
She said she had questioned a
former White House aide, now an
aide at the camp, about health and
recreation facilities and housing of
civilians. She didn't ask about food,
she added, because she couldn't fnd
out about that unless she asked the
boys, but she was told that the best

British Report Drop
In Ship Losses for
Week Ended March 3
II TotoIine So, ,l4l Tons

Communique Says
Bv the Associated Press,

B. the Associated Press.
LONDON, April british, Allied
and neutral merchant shipping
losses for the week ended March
% were II ships totaling 59,141 tons,
the Admiralty announced today.
The total was 10 ships and 81, PSI
tons under revised figures for the
preceding week.
The losses for the week ended
March % were given as 10 British

the Admiralty report for the week
ended March Is were % British and
allied merchantmen totaling 71,773
tons.
Pointing out that the losses in the
latest week were less than the
previous three weeks, an authorita-
tive source nevertheless said:
1T would be unwise to deduce that
our troubles are nearly over or that
we have mastered this great menace
to our ultimate victory.
1--WE must still be prepared for
losses, sometimes exceptionally high
and sometimes lower than this
weeks figures. 1t is too early to
jump to any conclusion, but there
is no need for alarm or despond-

war began is given by the British as

the army evacuation from Dun

with the British Mediterranean
Fleet.
He asserted emphatically that the
only Italian ships damaged were the
five acknowledged yesterday to have
been sunk-specifically three cruis-
srs and two destroyers.
Categorically denying British
report that a battleship of the Lit
torio class had been damaged so
that her speed was halved, the
spokesman asked:
IF that were so, why didn't the
British destroy it?"
The engagement, the spokesman
said. followed several days of of
fensive action" by Italian naval
units. He said Italian destroyers
had pursued the British Battlefleet
by night and attacked it with tor
pedoes, indicating their readiness to
carry the fight into dangerous
waters.

Seizures
Continued From First Page)


American waters, plus all the French
tonnage, which can also be seized,
then the Germans and French
should have been smart enough not
10 start the business.
The Nemours incident on Sunday
brought the whole Anglo-French
shipping question to head. While
they had been quietly seizing French
ships here and there for some
months. the British had tolerated a
great deal of traffic between MOI tn
Africa and Continental France in
order not to arouse Vichy. They
were vigorously encouraged to pur-
sue this policy by Washington,
which apparently has had far more
faith in the fundamental goodness
of Vichy than the British had. The
British abruptly stiffened their pol
icy only after Marshal Petain's Vice
Premier, Admiral Jean Darlan, had
given what they describe as a false
impression" of their attitude.
Now, unless Washington puts the
brakes on, they will probably con-
tinue to show the French just how
tough things can be for them, if
they want to have it that way.
British Position Explained.
The economic warfare spokesman
yesterday took pains to explain the
British position to American news
papermen. He produced figures to
chow that unoccupied France is still
shipping considerable quantities OF
essential raw materials to Germany,
and pointed out that some of the
cargoes which had been bound for
starving France" have not con-
tanned the sort of stuff which
starving country would be expected
to import. The S. S. Sontay, which
recently was intercepted and taken
into South African port, he pointed
out, carried 400 tons Of rubber from
Indo- China. France, he added, is
known to be shipping rubber to Ger
many. The S. S. Fort Richepanse,
which was also seized. had cargo OF
bananas. Such things, he added,
are not even imported by the British
any more. The S. S. Cantal, another
seized French ship, was said to have
carried 100000 liters rum and
pineapple.
Between November 18 and Decem-
her 8. while the British were still
winking at North African trade, he
stated, at least 68 cargoes arrived IN
Marseille from Tunis and Alglers.
Record quantities Of figs, dates,
cereals, mutton, fruit and vegetables
were imported, together with large
quantities of peanuts, which contain
valuable oils required by the
Germans.
An these facts are cited by the
British to justify a harder regime
against French shipping.
