81. Johns College 10 Raise
Fees $500 for Next Year

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Aug. 5.-St. Johns
College yesterday announced 5000
increase in fees for the 1941-42
academic year as step in a long
term program to become entirely
self-supporting.
Dean Scott Buchanan said the
new charge of $1,000 a year for
instruction, room and board was
expected to cover all operating
costs, leaving endowment income
available for maintenance and con-
struction.
"St. Johns College at present re-
ceives State appropriation" he
explained, adding, frankly, it has
been great help in our transitional
stage. With equal frankness, how
ever, can say that such an appro-
priation also is great burden to q
college since the college must grant
So scholarships in return"
Dean Buchanan declared any linn
itation on the right of a school to
choose its own students affected
academic standards.
The dean emphasized students
unable to pay the entire fee would
be aided with student aid funds

Leohy Successfully Selling
Friendship in Hostile Vichy
Nuzi-Run Press
Tries to Turn DurIun
Against U. S. Envoy
BY TAYLOR HENRY.
The Stars Special News Service.


VICHY, Unoccupied France, Aug.
5.-The metal plate on the doorway
Of ia Boulevard Des Etats Unis
announces: Doctor Roussaud.
The villa is distinguished from
the many doctors villas in this
watering place for the halt and
lame by an American flag which
flies above it.
The man who works there from 8
am. until pm. each day is-not
the Doctor Roussaud-but a retired
admiral of the United States Navy.
In this packed resort-town-
turned-capital, the humble doctors
Office has become the embassy of a
great power. The man who works
there is Admiral William D. Leahy,
Ambassador of the United States.
In this improvised embassy, the
sailor ambassador charts the pre-
carious course of American French
relations, interpreting America to
the French people, and the French
people to the Government in WASH
ington.
Admits Job Is Difficult.
His own definition of his job is
significant. 1t Is. he told me, a job
difficult to define as we'll as to
carry out" Then he stated his
point of view:
TO work harmoniously with
Marshal Petain's government; to do
what l can to facilitate assistance
to the French people whenever and
wherever possible"
Most of this work is done through
contact with Petain or Admiral
Darlan, with both of whom Admiral
Leahy has friendly relations. This
Is particularly true of the marshal,
whose signed portrait hangs over
Admiral Leahy's desk on the second
floor of the Villa lea.
Hes a charming old gentleman"
Admiral Leahy remarked, honest
as the day is long"
For some time Admiral Leahy had
never seen Petain officially alone.
Darlan or. Gen. Charles Huntziger
always was present at their meet
ings.
Admiral Leahy sometimes sees
Petain alone socially, however. On
these occasions they talk French.
(Admiral Leahy's French has i'm
proved considerably since he arrived
in France in Midwinter and he now
is able to understand everything the
marshal has TO saw tn him
Admiral Leahy is on less personal
Evening star., 1941-08-05

terms with Admiral Darlan. When
he first came to Vichy the American
admiral and the French admiral
used to talk as one sailor to another.
Today Admiral Leahy as American
Ambassador calls on Admiral Dar-
Ian as French Foreign Minister and
their conversation is limited to Of
fetal matters.
The German-controlled Paris
press-which constantly attacks Ad-
miral Leahy as a blackmailer and
crook who uses the lives Of French
women and children as political
capitals no help to this relation
ship.
They call him "the other admiral" I"
The attacks which strangely enough
usually rise to a crescendo when
Admiral Darlan is in Paris certainly
are not intended to draw the two
admirals closer together.
From Admiral Leahy's point Of
view, however, his personal popu-
larity with the ordinary French
people is the only gauge of the sue
cess or failure of his mission.
From that point of view it def
nitely is a success.
He received no official congratu-
lations on the Fourth of July, but
hundreds of private individuals ex-
pressed to him their good wishes
on the birthday anniversary OF the
United States.
Again, on an inspection trip COW
ering American Red Cross centers
in Southern France Admiral Leany
was widely acclaimed. On occasion
he even was called to the balcony
of his hotel to receive the cheers
of the crowds in the name Of the
United States.

A resolution calling for appoint
ment of a special House committee
of five members to investigate &C
Invites of labor unions in the Dis
trict was introduced today by Rep
resentative Hoffman. Republican, of
Michigan.
Mr.. Hoffman explained the &C
tiVitieS of the committee would be
limited to the District "for the rea-
son that it was thought that mem
bers might feel more free to vote for
an investigation to expose groups
and racketeering here in the Ma
tons Capital, if such investigation
did not touch their home districts. 4"
When the resolution is referred to
the Rules Committee, Representa-
tive Hoffman said, he would ask for
hearing and endeavor to get rule
ito place before the House an oppor-
tunity to vote on the question of
learning for ourselves who has been
selling work permits, how much
money has been collected for that
purpose, how long the men who have
paid have, as a rule, remained on
the job, what has become of the
money and why it is that here in
America men cannot work until they
have bought a work permit from
other than a Government agency"
Representative Hoffman followed
introduction of the resolution with
a speech in the House calling atten-
ton to a stslke situation at the
Army Medical Center.
Why talk of sending aid to Brit
ain to destroy the axis powers" he
declared. where here in Washington

mess nall and other buildings, is
told by the American Federation OF

Tax Deodiine

Some Bureau Of Engraving and
Printing employees today we're under
stood to be planning to give Uncle
Sam taste of his own medicine in
a fiscal matter.
Because the bureau operates on
the five-day week, its workers are
obliged to wait until Monday for
their midmonth pay whenever the
18th falls on Saturday. A Treasury
Department regulation prohibits pay
roll disbursals in advance.
Saturday is March Is, technically
pay day at the bureau, but this
month some of the employees feel
they can point out to Uncle Sam
that if he isn't going to recognize
the date until Monday, insofar as
their remuneration is concerned,
they can follow suit.
March Is is the deadline for filing
of income tax returns, and today,
smiling wryly a group of bureau
workers were declaring they would
not place their returns in the mails
until Monday, the day their pocket
books would know as March Is.

Shipping Problem Serious.

Shipping Problem Serious.
In the field of foreign relief many
agencies are now raising funds with
out full knowledge of the relief
sources already at hand, the needs
which actually require relief, or the
shipping available for the transpor-
tation of relief materials. American
aid is being extended to Great Brit
ain, China, Greece, Finland, spain
and many other countries affected
by the conflict through the Ameri-
can Red Gross and also through
other organizations.
while the need for greater CO.
ordination exists with regard to all
of these undertakings, it is par
ticularly apparent in British relief
where the problem of obtaining
shipping space for the transporta-
ton of relief materials is already
serious and requires discriminating
knowledge as to the needs existing
and as to the most effective method
of meeting them. Here it is particu-
larry important that funds should
not be solicited for categories of re-
lief which have not been requested,
or approved, or for which shipping
space is not available. Moreover, in
other countries of Europe, economic
and military controls as we'll as linn
itstions upon transportation and
communication facilities make eff
Eective relief operation impractical
