WASHINGTON. July 29--It uas generally overlooked, but behind the Presidents recommendation to Congress for legislation to permit the President to establish regional or general daylight saving for all or any part of the year is a plan to circumvent one of the major po- litical explosions of the whole of national defense legislation.
 In World War I. Congress and the nation paused in it's entire defense effort to wage one of it's bitterest battles over whether we should or shouldn't have univer- sal daylight saving.
 Every time congressman have made faces at the clock in the present defense effort, there have been little whirlwinds of criticism and debate all over the land.
 Why?
 Because the controversy over daylight saving is fight between farm communities and the large urban and industrial centers. Even

NAVY DROPS DEPTH BOMBS TO HIT SUB
U. 5. Destroyer Off Green. land Lets Go Charges
 During Rescue

WASHINGTON, July 29-A Sen- ate Naval Committee report re- leased today quoted Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox as testify ing that a captain of United States destroyer dropped three depth bombs off the coast of Green land when he believed there was possible danger of an attack from submarine.
 The testimony was contained in report of the committee which recommended no further investi- gation of newspaper reports of shooting American naval units into the Atlantic for conveying British merchantmen.
 Knox was quoted as saying, "One U. s. destroyer, operating off Greenland, heard an sos from a steamer and proceeded to its location where it picked up 60 survivors from the sunken steamer. While engaged in this act of mercy, the operator of the listen ing equipment reported to the cap tain he thought he heard a sub merged sub. The captain immedi- ately turned in the direction indi- cated and dropped three depth charges In doing this, he very pru- dently exercised the right of self preservation. Had there been sub there his destroyer might have been sunk"

 Contest; Put Up 10 Congress

some of the most vigorous advo cates of universal daylight saving will admit that the farmer has a justifiable gripe. And on the other hand, some of the outstanding op- ponents confess that daylight sav- ing in some areas probably is a good thing.
 It undoubtedly does save elec- tricity. According to the Federal Power Commission, national day. light saving would conserve more than 736, 1000, GOO kilowatt-hours q year. It gives the factory workers on one or two shifts more working daylight. For many workers. even those working overtime, it provides leisure daylight hours. These ar guments are pretty well established.

DIR. H. Hill Passes Away
 Texas Home
Former Principal GeoIogist of Unified Stdfes Dead
 Had Long Record

DALLAS, Texas, July 29. - Dr. Robert Thomas Hill, 82, a self made" scientist of high attain ment, who was a. former principal geologist of the United States Geo. logical Survey, passed away at his home here today.
 Dr. Hill studied the geology of Mexico, Central America and the Panama Canal route and, in asso- ciation with Alexander Agassiz of Harvard, explored the strata of the American Caribbean region.
 He discovered and described the Cretaceous (chalk) rocks in the Texas area and located the Trim ity, Paluxy and Woodbine oil-bear- ing sands of that state. Also he found the "Comanche series" in the geological column of Texas, a link in the earth's formative re- cord which did not fit in any known textbook.
 Incidental to this," he once ex- plained, was the discovery, sub- sequently, of artesian water in central Texas, an element more im- portant than any other"
 Orphaned at 5
 Born in Nashville, Tenn, Aug ust II, 1858, he was orphaned when five years old and at IS, after he had finished the sixth grade in school, travelled alone for more than 300 miles to Comanche, Texas, "the last town of the frontier and the toughest and toughest of that time."
 He remained there seven years, setting type on brothers weekly newspaper, the Comanche Chief, which still exists. Then for two years he wandered bit, helping to drive cattle up the trail via Doan's Store on the Red River. to Dodge City, Kans. On one of these trips he got stranded in Dodge City but got a job ou a cattle train to St (ConLinueo olt Page 6ixD

Japan's swing to the south today assumed an even broader aspect, risking new Anglo American resent ment.
 A Reuters report from Bangkok said Japan has offered Cambodia, province of Indo-China, to Thai land in return for her allegiance to Japan's New Order in Asia.
 Vi0ltes Treaty
 Such division of rndo-China will violate the French-Japanese pro- tocol signed in Vichy and which pledges Japan ''to respect the ter ritorial integrity of French Indo- China and the sovereign rights of France over all parts of the Indo- Chinese Union.'
 British authorities in Shanghai said they will protest if I'hailand is forced to eraAt special privileges to any third powee obviously re- ferring to Japan. Tney scoffed at Tokyo broadcasts saying that Brit ish forces in northern Malaya are an active threat against the Thais.
 Similsr Charges
 Informed Shanghai quarters are unable to confirm the reports that Japan has served demands on Thai land, but observers recalled that Tokyo made similar charges of out side threats just before making de- mands for bases ill southern Indo- China.
 Meanwhile Japans occupation Of southern Indo-China went into high gear as warships and troop trans ports brought garrison troops and military supplies to Camranh Bay.
 At Hanoi, capital of the French mandate, it is announced officially that total of 10000 Japanese troops are now stationed in south- ern Indo-China.
 Troops have already moved into bases at Nhan1ang. 200 miles northeast of Saigon and Tourane, 300 miles up the coast from Sai- gon.

FINALLY ICKES WINS

It was also a big day for certain members of the Roosevelt Cabinet. For months and years they also had been waiting. For months and years also they had been urging Roosevelt to embargo oil shipments to Japan.
 At the Friday cabinet meeting just before Japan moved, Secretary Ickes, as new oil administrator, raised the embargo question again. He pro- posed to stop oil shipments to Japan. But the Acting Secretary of State said no. On Monday, he said, Japan was going to make move toward Indo-China and it would be wiser to wait until then.
 Once before, Ickes had stopped a shipment of oil to Japan and aroused the wrath of the State Department. Last June Philadelphia manufact- urer complained to him that Jap anese ship was loading 240,0O0 gall Ions of lubricating oil.

WASHINGTON = Twenty news papermen leaned forward around the long blue baize table in the ante-room of the Secretary of State. At the extreme end stood tall, austere Acting Secretary Sumner Welles. On his face was an expres- sion of grim-lipped intensity. In his hand was a typewriter state ment. He read it aloud. It was a scathing, carefully word ed blast against Japan.
 At the opposite end of the table stood three Japanese newsmen, short, affable, eager. For months and years they had been attending press conferences, given the same priv ileges as any American newsmen For months also they had waited for some such bombshell.
 Now it came.
 One split second after Welles fin ished reading his statement, the Japanese were out the door, batter mig down the marble corridor to the press room telephones. It was big day for Japanese newsmen.
