 World Was Waiting
 The world literally was waiting for the House vote yesterday. It was flashed across the seas by cable and radio and not the least eager to learn the tally were the top men in Tokyo, Rome and Berlin.
 It was tense moment for Mir. Roosevelt and for his House lead- CTS and for the notable deserters who, among 57 Democrats opposing the president by vote or pair, were aligned against him on foreign ool- icy for the first time.
 Chairman Robert L. Doughton, N. O., of the ways and means commit tee, was one.
 Chairman Hatton W. Summers, Tex, of the judiciary committee was another.
 Chairman Joseph J. Mansfield, Tex, of the rivers and harbors committee, paired against the bill, was a third.
 Those men did not pull away easily from the president.
 Rep, Caroline O'Day, D., W. F., close personal friend of Mrs. Roose- welt also was paired against the president.
 Republicans voted almost as @ party against, l37 by ballot and two by pair. Only 22 Republicans voted to arm the ships and send them into war zones.
 One farmer-laborite and three progresSives also voted nay"
 But i69 Democrats by ballot and six more by pair supported the ad- ministration.
 And MT. Roosevelt picked up one more vote from the American Labor party, which is represented in the house by Vito Marcantonio, of New York city.
 Most notable Republican vote against the bill was that of House Leader Joseph w. Martin of Mass achusetts who was hand-picked last year by Willkie to be chairman of the Republican national committee.
 Democratic Opposition
 A lot of that Democratic opposi- tion to MT. RooSevelt's insistent de- mands for freer hand against Hit Ter was based unbudgingly on com- plaint against his labor policies Congress is angry. Congress is trend ing toward the conviction that MT Roosevelt is letting labor get away with something in a national emer. gency. And congress is 8 little bit uneasy because the pattern of ad- ministration foreign policy m n. euver has been to approach some oi it's toughest problems by indirec' ton.

 The marine have been in China intermittently since 1854, when they landed at Shanghai to protect a base set up by the famous Commodore Matthew c. Perry in opening the door" to Japan, which for centuries had been a hermit nation.
 From their fiiEst landing until 1900, the marines were dispatched to China from time to item to deal with various outbreaks threatening American interests. One of their most famous exploits was their par ticipation in putting down the Boxer rebellion in 1900.
 The marine attachments, in the Boxer rebellion, serving as U. s. em- bassy guards in Pieping, were re- placed on September 2S, 1900, by regular army troops and were with drawn to the Philippines.
 The marines returned to Peipine as embassy guards in 1905, under oroders of President Theodore Roosevelt. They have been on duty in China ever since.

 5-The Dutch East Indies pre- pared for large scale war maneuvers November 18 to strengthen defens- es in view of a spokesman's state- ment that they were prepared to fight with Britain and America in event of a Pacific war.
 Role of United States Tn the long range view, the speed of these developments centering around the role of the United States in both the Atlantic and the Pa- cific overshadowed the eastern fighting front where both the Rus- sians and the Germans claimed gains.
 On the Moscow front, the Rus- sians reported that they had rec captured 20 villages in the Kalinin sector and made less important gains on other sectors of the Lenin- grad and Moscow battlefields. Soviet Stormavik planes, new type ot fighter for attack on tanks, were said to be leading the counter-blows with mad torpedo" attacks-a type of whirling firebomb designed to set mechanized vehicles afire.
 Berlin reported big fires blazing in Moscow but claimed no specific gains on the central front.
 Tn the Crimea, however, the Ger mans appeared to be making prog ress in their drive to encircle Ros- toy and strike southward against the Caucuasus oil fields which the official Nazi news agency reported within range of the Luftwaffe bombers.
 The Nazi forces were said to be on the outskirts of Kerch, striking fortified positions which extend six miles east of that city to the Ker- chenski Strait, over which the Ger mans must pass to reach the maiEl- land route to the Caucuses.

 All of these war front develop ments, however, were regarded in the belligerent capitals as of mo- mentary importance as compared to the step taken by the United States in preparing to arm mer- chant ships and in freeing the gov- eTnment to convoy them to the har- bors of Axis foes.
 Tn London, the press welcomed the action as a definite sign that the United States was steadily inc creaslng it's participation in the fight against Naxism and the Daily Express drew on the famous World war song for It's headline: They're Coming Overt"

 An ofieial statement said merely that "the news was received with much qualification" and that it would refresh the will of the Britt ish people to fight the war to vic- tory" But informed sources ex- plained that the action was ex- pected to release British sea power. for urgent duty in other fields, suchl as carrying supplies to BritiSh forces overseas and to the Soviet Union.

 Additionally water mains were broken and telephone and telegraph and some power lines were down.

 The tremhlor's lasted from IS to 30 seconds. Downtown Los Angeles was shaken for 20 seconds in the first quake. tI was not affected by the second shock which apparently was limited to the suburban area be- tween here and Long Beach.
 The quakes were believed centered in the Great Fault which runs from Inglewood out to the sea. Riverside, 45 miles east of here, and Laguna Beach, 55 miles south, were the ex- tremitles of the quake zone.
 Long Beach, which suffered the heaviest damage and loss of life in l9a3, felt the shock. There was some damage.

 Some were on the verge of hys- teria, others, old-timers who saw the city wrecked by another quake al- most nine years ago, were calm.
 Merchants surveyed their wrecked shops and tried to salvage articles from the rubble.

D STAMP NEWS

NO philatelic items have been " announced for Pan American Day, April l4, because 16 of the 2l republics issued 1940 commem- oratives honoring the 60th anni- versary of the founding of the Union. The Pan American Union. however, has issued set of 24 "Know the Americas" poster stamps, presenting scenic views and places of interest in the Amer ican republics. Many of the sub- jects have already appeared in postal issues.
 April also marks the 3lst an- niversary of the dedication of the Pan American Union building at Washington, D. C., pictured on the poster stamp above. Construction of this building, headquarters of the International Bureau of Amer ican Republics, was made possible by Andrew Carnegie's gift of $850,000.
 The Union was created at the close of the first Pan American Conference in 1890 as the perma- nent organization of the confer ences. The Union promotes peace, commerce and friendship among American republics by fostering trade, social, juridical and cultural relations.
 Latest addition to its numerous activities is a philatelic agency to make new stamp issues of Latin America easily available to col- 'ectoHs.

 Two minutes later the taxicah was positively crawling; but no she glanced over at the speed- ometer - hardly crawling, at 4s The streets weren't crowded. The man screeched and skidded his tires on sudden turns.
 "Thisaway, I'm positive!" he shouted back at her Then be- cause he was highly interested himself, he added, Don't you worry about the fare, miss"
 She hadn't even thought of that, but ? she felt flash o. gratitude. He was gentlemanly driver, and skilled.
 They passed several other taxi cabs going southwest, and then a police car with siren shrilling passed them. They had to pull over to let fire trucks go by. They knew how they had the right di- rection. If fire trucks were com ing from this distance, and this long after the explosion, 1t must mean @ second or even general alarm fire somewhere, the driver said. But no blaze was visible. Ambulances streaked by them twice.
 "Oh-h-h" That was involun- tary, from Carolyn.
 What was 1t, missP What busted?"
 TT don't know"
 He let 1t go at that. And 20 minutes later they had the ans wer before them.
 They had left the main business district, passed miles of outlying groceries, small firms and dwellings and were in the suburban industrial area when the matter became more plain.
 "Geel" murmured the driver, ap- palled. He slowed down because he had to, now. Tn & moment the traf- fic stopped him entirely. Come on, missl On foot, eh?" He was excited.
 Efficiently he escorted her up railroad embankment. He asked questions of everybody. He climbed part way up power pole ladder teh better to see, then boosted Car olyn up. He learned what they wanted to know.
 all the big furniture factory, a florists greenhouse covering two acres, an old warehouse four stories high, a half mile of rail- road track--w Thus the awed driver summarized what they had learned from looking and listen- ing. Spies, hah? You think spies, miss? They oughta-"
 "Oh-o-h!"
 Carolyn was inarticulate now. Devastation before them was overwhelming. From her point six feet up the power pole she could see limitless wreckage. Twisted girders. Piles of brick and stone. Flames. Smoke. Every kind of debris.
 It was as if the whole area had been run through @ grinder, so small were the pieces. She wasn't familiar with this section of town and so couldn't tell what struc- lures had actually gone down, but the whole lurid landscape here was a scene from Europe's hell.
 She looked around the sides and rear. She couldn't even pick out her taxi now in the sea of cars that had crowded Up behind. Honkings and shoutings, police whistles, wailing, sirens, all added to the general hysteria.
 She felt more and more impelled to do something. But what?
