Military Protectorote Over Greenland Obtained by

WASHINGTON. April Ii The
United States today obtained
rights TO establish a virtual mill
tary protectorate over Greenland

he believed the best interests OF
his country.

parlance) Of King Christian X and
the Copenhagen government.
When President Roosevelt, in
making the announcement said:
we signed an agreement with
the Danish minister IN Washington
who acts on behalf The King
of Denmark" the Chief Executive
spoke a diplomatic truth-even
though the Danish legation later
announced that neither the king
nor the Copenhagen government
knew anything about De Kauff-
mans step.
The minister does act on behalf
of the king Of Denmark when
ever he acts in the eyes of this
government.
When Denmark was taken over
by Germany a year ago De Kauff-
man held a press conference and
told reporters that from then on
he would act with considerable

been cut off from his king and
government

carried out the policy he enunci-
ated to the press last April.

 IN STAMPS
Fother and Son Were Presidents of Bolivia

TN United States, John Adams. A second President, lived to see his son, John Quincy Adams in. augurated as sixth President, the only time in U. s. history that a son has followed his father into the nations highest office.
 Bolivia has a similar father-son combination in the Ballivians, Jose and Adolfo. But the elder Balli- vian died 2l years before his son took the oath of office. Jose Balli- vian, the father, is pictured on Bolivia's stamp, above. Adolfo Is also included in philately's presi- dential gallery.
 Jose Ballivian fought for Bolivi- an independence under Lanza, continued his army career under Presidents Sucre and Santa Cruz, attaining the rank of general. In l84l, shortly after Ballivian's elec- ton to the presidency, Peru inc vaded Bolivia. Ballivian defeated the Peruvians, was hailed as the savior of his country. He was overthrown by revolution in 1847, exiled to Chile. He died in Brazil in 1852.
 Adolfo Ballivian, the son, shared his fathers exile, later was banned from his homeland when dictators assumed control. When elected president in 1873, he was Bolivia's envoy to London. Death ended his term, nine months after his inaug- uration.

 That was that, 1t developed. Dr. Hale showed no skill at arguing his point, and no enthusiasm for 1t anyway.
 But there was no dancing at this second dinner hour together as there had been last night. ln- deed, this one was bit formal; Carolyn saw that Robert Hale was physically weary now and this disturbed her.
 You must go home as soon as you can and sleep," she ordered, kindly. All at once she felt em- barrassed. Bossing her own bossl She couldn't ever imagine herself feeling this friendliness and pro- prietorship for the banker where she had last been secretary; but Robert Hale was so - so different.
 The man with the truck came at 11:30. He was an eff1c ent-look- ing but somewhat arrogant indi- vidual. Dr. Hale, Leana Sormi and Carolyn all went to the labo- ratory with him. Immediately both the driver and Carolyn were astounded.
 From the great laboratory, sur. rounded by armed guards - them- selves enough to arouse curiosity Robert Hale carried a parcel no bigger than half a shoe box. But he strained with the weight of 1t.
 Partly wrappings, partly the leaden case," he explained to Carolyn. "The actual content is only thimble portion, of course. The lead is essential to guard against powerful radiations. It would take sudden heat or a shock like g dynamite cap to explode it, but"
 They had come then within earshot of the driver, who spoke then.
 "What's in itP" he asked, jok- ingly. Jewels, hah?"
 "No," Dr. Hale said calmly. Nothing like that. But 1t de- mands the utmost care"
 Yeah? Think O that I'll help you wit the rest of 'em."
 "This is all. Only the one."
 "Yeah2" The truck driver was incredulous. He had @ two-ton truck, enclosed. For just one tiny parcel, hardly six inches square, to sit in that big ven looked silly to him. And why did some screwy professor want 1t sent out at night to an abandoned farm? And why must 1t rest, like eggs, on thicks cotton paddings?
 Robert paid the man in advance, generously, but that didn't satisfy his curiosity. They had to ignore his yelled probings.
 Wasn't 1t - risky - to hire him, Dr. Hale2" Carolyn asked as the man finally drove away.

DR.. Barnes Presents Last
Special Opera Broadcast
Excerpts From The Marriage Of Figaro,
In Star Music Series, Given for Students

Dr.. Edwin N. c. Barnes, head
of the music department in divi-
sions l to 9 of the public schools,
yesterday conducted the last in a
series of special school broadcasts
presented in connection with The
Stars music appreciation program.
Featured on the concluding broad
cast were excerpts from the opera,
1.-The Marriage of Figaro" by Mo-
zart. This work was the 18th and
final release in The Stars cam
paign
The thousands of students who
listened to the broadcast in their
classrooms and auditoriums heard
DR.. Barnes tell the story of the
opera and interesting facts about
Mozart, who completed more than
600 compositions before he died at
the age of 35.
Concert Artist at Z.
"The world has never seen and
probably never will see a prodigy
to compare with Mozart" DR..
Barnes said. cat the age of Z, he had
four sonatas published and was tour
ing Europe as a concert artist, and
before he was 20 he had composed
200 works of all kinds"
After playing The Stars record

The captain grins.
Arguing Over Shells.

"They're arguing" he says. "how
many bricks (shells) Jerry has
chucked at us in the last six
months
Every time shell bursts there's
vince" and a shower of shell
fragments. The ships doctor shows
you one casually-a jagged piece of
metal 2l2 inches long.
They make an ugly wound he
SAYS.
We are out of the shelling area
only aircraft to worry about now.
We don't have long to wait. Off to
the east we see plane with the ia
miliar twin tails of the Messer-
schmitt ITO. Guns swing to meet
it, but the plane vanishes before the
guns can open fire.
A moment later the guns of a de-
stroyer astern begin cracking. Then
ours go off, and when the 4-inchers
start slamming away that's noise.
You hang onto the rail. The
deck jumps as the guns bang away.
You try to fix your binoculars on
the planes. There are more than
one now The conclusion bumps the
eyepieces against your nose. There S
that familiar "whish" of a falling
bomb. A column of water bigger
than the other ICONS into the air a
half mile from our ship.
That's all, just one.
I'VE scared him Off" says the
captain calmly.
Dodge Floating Mines.
Afternoon-For the last hour
we've been passing floating mines
We steer between two of them and
flash a signal to the convoy. The
merchantmen reply with whistle
toots, and move around the sinister
explosives like elderly chorus girls.
Il got knocked off the bridge when
we hit one of them blinkin' things"
says a yoeman signaler as we look
down on the big barrel-like mines.
Late afternoon-It's bitterly cold
Snow squalls hide the English shore
and snow is crusting on deck and
around the guns. The crew of one
OF the four-inchers is playing follow
the-leader to keep warm.
The convoy moves steadily onward
to port. Mine-sweepers churn out
to pick up any stray mines.
Evening-We nose in, the captain
directing the ticklish job of tieing
up at buoy in the face of
shrieking wind. He turns:
Here's another one in," he says,
what about a drink"
Yes. It's still the English Channel.

"Today's opera is the last of our
series. There are many other operas
I would like to have brought you.
However. am sure you have come
very close to the world of opera,
which is only another name for
the world of make-believe' as inter-
preted by great music. I hope you
will be interested in seeing a real
performance of an opera, with all
the trimmings-stage, scenery and
acting.
Salute to Flag Repeated.
when next we have an opera in
Washington, perhaps some Of you
will be able to attend. Thus, fol-
lowing up our talks together, I am
sure you will find much that will
interest you"
DR.. Barnes concluded the broadcast
by having the students stand and
repeat the Salute to the Flag, after
which "The Star Spangled Banner
was played.
The Star is continuing the dis
tribution of the recordings of the
Mozart opera, as well as the II other
operas included in the series and II

Spanish Aid Committee
Work in u. ). Restricted

BY the Associated Press.
The State Department disclosed
today that it had revoked the license
of the United American-Spanish Aid
Committee TO collect funds in the
United States for use in bellgerent
countries
The revocation, effective December
Is, did not apply, officials said, to
those activities of the committee
relating to refugee and resettlement
work, over which the State Depart
ment has no supervision.
A project of the committee ap-
parently unaffected by the license
revocation was the American Rescue
Ship Mission, in connection with
which Mrs. Elanor Roosevelt and
some other prominent persons were
reported by New York newspapers
to have resigned as sponsors.
The announced object Of the
rescue ship mission was to raise
