A. Atwatsf Kent, Philadelphia radio
magnate.
The ooe-tims pleasure ship now II

aian Tag out of Vera Cruz, MEXICO,
b Naxi agents in that city. and b
being used to transport high test
gasoline and mercury 70 small Car
bbean Islands who're japanese ships
collect the smuggled strategic sup
plies.
The yacht recently unloaded 1000
TASKS of mercury at an island which
for military reasons must be name
less.
The former luxury craft came into
possession Of the Nazis By q cir
cuitous route which intelligence ex-
perts uncovered only . few weeks
ago. The purchase was made by .
shipping company whose main Of
flee y In Vera Cruz and has q
branch Office in New Orleans, where
transfer Of title took place. The
price was $4,000.
Fortunately for intelligence the
payment was made in u. 8. bills Of
81, 900 denomination. From the seri-
n numbers, the bills were traced
back to q Vera Cruz bank. There
1t was learned the money had been
withdrawn from the account Of the
leading Nah business house in
Mexico, and turned over to the ship
ping company that bought the yacht.
Subsequent investigation revealed
that all the stockholders Of this COM
pany were Germans; also that the
two top officers were Spaniards. one
q naturalized Mexican and the other
naturalized American citizen.
Now, every movement of the
yacht il watched, but there Is moth
ing the United States can do about
the ship unless she enters American
waters. So far the vessel has been
very careful to stay within Mexican
territorial waters.
LEND-LEASE MILK EXPERT
The most novel type Of lend-lease
operation thus far was the lend
leasing Of . man named Adolph.
Adolph Eichhorn went over to help
the British against Adolf Hitler.
The British are suffering from h
sufficient production Of milk, BE-
cause Of diseased cattle, and Eich-
horn u the nan who knows all the
COW cures. He II director of the
animal disease station under the de-
partment Of agriculture.
Three principal diseases affiict
British cattle: tuberculosis, which
makes the cattle lean; Bangs dis
ease. which results IN the loss of
the calf; and mastitis.
Eichhorn was obliged 70 tell the
British that tuberculosis, which af-
ficts IS per cent Of British cattle,
cannot be cured during the course
Of the war, unless the war lasts for
another generation. It took the
United States n years to get the
disease under control.
Bangs disease IL more readily
cured. By vaccination, 4 calf can
be immunized SO that its adult life
will not be afflicted with the dis
ease.
Meantime, the British are import
ing great quantities of dry and pow
dered milk from the United States.
Fresh milk il worth a kings ransom.
RETURNED FAVOR
When Rep. John Mccormack Of
Massachusetts, was elected Demo
cratic floor leader of the house,
one of his strongest and most un-
expected supporters was Georgia's
fiery New Deal-hating Gene Cox.
Though the two men were poles
apart on economic views, Cox never
theless backed Mccormack and did
yeoman work for him.
Recently Mccormack returned the
favor. Before leaving on a trip to
Massachusetts,, Mccormack named
Cox floor leader during his absence.
There's one condition, however,
Gene" he grinned. you'll have
to refrain from those hot one-minute
speeches on the floor. / don't want
my stand-in taking swings at the
administration. 1t would look bad"
Mccormack wished the Georgian
luck and left the chamber. Hardly
had he departed when Cox jumped
up and asked permission to address
the house for one minute. New
Dealers held their breath, expect
ing him to uncork one of his scorch-
ing blasts.
But they relaxed with a sigh of
relief when Cox launched into 4 ter
rife TRADE against John L. Lewis.
