Borrowing Power Bars
Fund for WATERWAYS
St. Lawrence, Florida
Canal and 'Quoddy
Projects Get Setback

Taking steps to block three wa
terways projects which have aroused
bitter opposition in Congress, Sen
ate and House confereeS late yes
terday wrote a definite prohibition
against use of borrowed national
defense funds for the work in agree
ing on measure to increase the
borrowing power of the ReconStruc-
ton Finance Corp. by billion and
a half dollars.
The three are the Great Lakes
st. Lawrence waterway and power
project, Florida ship canal to link
the Gulf of Mexico with the Eastern
Atlantic Coast and the PaSsama-
quoddy project to generate power
through Harvesting tides on the
Maine coast. In addition, the pro-
hibition was extended to the Tom
bigbee waterway project to link the
Tennessee River with the Gulf of
Mexico and the proposed inter-
oceanic canal through Nicaragua.
Senator Brown, Democrat, Of
MlClliSdll, dCllIlS CIldlIIIldIl VI JIlc
Senate Banking Committee, said the
prohibitions resulted from fear
that national defense funds might
be used to short circuit congress
sional" action on these projects.
The action does not doom the prof.
ects, since they still could be car
ried on with special appropriations,
If Congress approved.
The conference agreement now
goes back to the House and Senate.

Wilhelm
Continued from page A-3)

Hohenzollerns. Berlin crowds DEM
onstrated for republic
Still Wilhelm held on. He said
he would abdicate when the in
terests of Germany demanded it,
but that time is not yet come
Austria dropped out of the war and
Prince Max asked the Allies for an
armistice.
Wilhelm left Berlin and went to
general army headquarters at Spa
There he asked his generals II he
could still depend upon his army.
Advised of the worst, he signed his
abdication on November 9, entered
an automobile and sped across the
Dutch frontier to the chateau of
Count Bentnick at Amerongen. He
remained there more than a year,
then purchased an estate at Doom.
That he lived thereafter in peace
full, If dull. exile was due to the
refusal Of Holland to surrender him
to the Allies. The Versailles peace
conference put the blame for the
war on Germany and on January
20, 1920. the Allies made formal de-
mand that the Netherlands deliver
into their hands William Hohenzol-
lern, former emperor of Germany,
in order that he may be Judged. :"
1t was proposed to try him before
an international tribunal on charges
of violating the neutrality of Bel
GUM and Luxembourg, systematic
outrages upon civilians in the war
zones, devastation of invaded re-
gions and deaths and injuries to
non-combatants through unre-
stricted submarine warfare.
Remained In Seclusion.
Hollands refusal, sent four days
later, said both justice and honor
forbade yielding to the demand.
The note pointed out also that the
Versailles treaty could not define
the duty of Holland since that gov
eminent was not a party to the
pact.
Through the years then Wilhelm
remained in seclusion at Doom
The German Republic passed law
forbidding him to set foot on Ger
man soil but gradually the resent
ment against him personally died
down and when the statute expired
IN 1929 1t was significant of the
changing ideas of the world that no
attempt was made to renew it.
Wilhelm grew a beard and wrote
his memoirs. In them he fiercely
defended himself and Germany
against the verdict of war guilt,
declared his conscience was clear
and got solace from his lifelong
interest in religion. For exercise he
chopped trees and shrubs until the
clearing up of the estate and ad-
vancing years dictated a change in
pastime. Thereafter he devoted
long hours to extensive gardens.
Tragedies in his family interrupt
ed the routine of exile in its early
stages. In July, 1920, the youngest
of his six sons, Prince Joachim.
committed suicide after brooding
over a divorce suit instituted by
his wife and worrying about reduced
finances. The act greatly depressed
the former Emperor and it
added to the burdens of the former

Kaiserin Augusta Victoria of Schles-
wig Holstein, who had been fight
ing a heart ailment. She died
April II, 1921, 40 years after her
marriage.
Wilhelm took a second wife on
November 5, 1922, when he married
the widowed Princess Hermine of
Reuss over objections of his family
and OF monarchists in Germany
The latter emphasized that she was
not of royal blood and that the
match might handicap restoration.
Hopes for such a return to power
were kept alive for a time, faded
and rose again in 1888 when Adolf
Hitler established his national
socialist dictatorship. But they
were dashed definitely when Nazi
leaders said: Hitler is not Just
keeping a seat warm for a Hohen-
zollern."

Lovont Army Declared
Ready to RepeI Attacks

DAMASCUS, Syria, June 4 (P).-
The high command in French
inundated Syria declared today the
army of the Levant was ready to
defend the territory against any
attacks.
1t denied German forces were in
Syria and the press charged that
the British circulated rumors to
that effect to create a pretext for
interference in the country.
Reports in the Syrian press of
British arrests of Arab leaders in
Palestine, Some of whom were said
to have been confined in concen-
tration camps, aroused a strong
undercurrent of discomfort, but the
populace apparently was hopeful of
keeping Syria outside the war.

House Group Rejects
Treasury Plan on
Excess Profits Tax
Committee Votes to Keep
Average Earnings
Principle in System
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee. rejecting a Treasury pro-
posal, voted today to retain the
average earnings principle in the
excess profits tax system.
The action was the first taken
by the committee since it voted six
weeks ago to follow the Treasury
recommendation of a S3,500,00O 900
goal for new taxes.
In connection with its proposal for
raising this additional revenue, the
Treasury urged the committee to
base future collection of excess profits
solely on ratio of profits to in
vested capital, with 10 per cent as
The maximum any corporation might
be allowed without being subject to
the levy.
May Devise Percentages.
The committee voted that We re-
tain the present optional plan of
computing excess profits taxes with
such revisionS as the committee may
see fit to make"
Chairman Doughton explained
that this meant the committee might
revise the percentages used in COM
putting the untaXable credits or reyis-
ing present rates. which range from
25 to so per cent. He declined to
reveal the vote
The committee also voted to i'm
pose floor stock tax in all cases
where existing excise taxes are in
creased or new excise taxes are levied
on commodities. Mr.. Doughton ex-
planned that the purpose of this was
to prevent concerns from "evading"
the new excise taxes by building up
large stocks in advance of the effec-
tive date of the proposed new tax
law.
Will Study Income Taxes.
The chairman said the floor stock
tax would apply to stocks wherever
they are-in the hands of manufac-
turer, jobber wholesaler or retailer.
He announced the committee
would take up consideration of in
dividual income taxes tomorrow.
The present excess profits law,
adopted last year, provides two al
ternatives for computing the tax.
One computes as excess all profits
above 95 per cent of the corpora
tons average earnings in 1869.
The other figures as excess profits
that profit exceeding s per cent of
concerns invested capital.

5000 Imperial Troops
Reported Missing

SYDNEY, Australia, June 4 GP)-
More than 5000 Australian and New
Zealand troops were unaccounted
for after the withdrawal from Crete,
1t was estimated today.
Percy C. Spender, Australian Army
Minister, announced that of 6,486
members of the Australian imperial
forces in Crete before the German
air invasion 1887 men, including 218
wounded, were removed to Egypt.
This left $500 men unaccounted for.
Acting Prime Minister Walter
Nash of New Zealand announced
yesterday that $500 New Zealand
troops who fought in Crete were
onaccounted for. He said that
among arrivals in Egypt were 1853
wounded New Zealanders.

disposed to comment on such re-
ports beyond observing that France
was faced by positive aggressions. i"
particularly bombings in Syria, and
so was justified in defending herself.
The situation in Iraq, with an
armistice effective in some parts Of
the land. was pronounced obscure.
The Berlin view of what is happen
ing there is that government
friendly to the English and COM
posed of some undistingushed men"
is acting in Baghdad under protec-
ton of British bombers and armored
cars.
Whether this government yields
any influence in other parts of the
country and whether the armistice
applies only to the Baghdad govern
ment are questions which cannot be
answered clearly at the moment"
the spokesman said.

Delay by President
Infil|ing Courts
Vacancies Indicated
Speculation Is Confined
Almost Entirely to
Jackson and Byrnes

With speculation confined al
most entirely TO the names of two
men as probable successors to Chief
Justice Hughes and Associate JUS
tice McReynolds of the Supreme
Court. indications today were that
the appointments would not be
made for some time.
President Roosevelt told his press
conference yesterday he did not
know when the court vacancies
would be filled, but it is being as
sumed generally that the chief
justioeship will go to Attorney Gen.
eral Jackson and the other place
to Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of
South Carolina.
The President was asked If he
had delayed appointing a successor
to Justice McReynolds, who retired
February l. because he expected
Chief Justice Hughes to leave the
bench, but he replied that the
resignation of Mr.. Hughes an
nounced Monday night, was as
much of a surprise TO him as any
one else.
During the day Mr.. Jackson is
sued this statement on Chief JUS
tice Hughes:
To the lawyers who practiced
before him, Mr.. Hughes will al
ways remain the Chief Justice
BY firmness, dignity and legal
scholarship he won our respect.
BY fairness, good humor and UNDER
standing of the problems of law
yerS he won our affection.
The bar ranks Chief Justice
Hughes in class with John Mar
shall. Both men were great judges.
But it was their constructive use
of judicial power that placed both
men among the first statesmen of
the republic.
Charles Evans Hughes has been
really great Chief Justice of the
United States"

.Third-Time Entrant
StreamIines Racer in
Derby Victory Effort
Kettle Works Overtime
As Willis Poole Steums
Ports for Car

The kitchen of the Poole house
hold in Arlington, Va, will seem
less like a steam room when the
boy of the family finishes his 194l
Soap Box Derby racer.
Willis Poole, Is, has built coaster
racers in vain for two successive
| years, and for 1941 he is determined
| to build winner. For three weeks
he has been constructing his latest
model-one that calls for much
streamlining, much Sleeker lines
than was demanded for the 1889 and
1910 jobs.
To get the desired effect, Willis
has been keeping pots of boiling
water on the stove and using the
escaping steam to soften up wooden
parts to form his racer. After hold
ing the wood in the steam long
enough to make it pliable. Willis
would then clatter down the cellar
steps and nail and screw it into
place before the effect wore off.
Good Job Being Done.
Even though there is still work
to be done on the racer, it has the
appearance of a frst-class job and
its builder hopes it will carry him
to the Washington championship in
July. Willis raced for the first
time in 1889 on Massachusetts ave-
nue. NV, coming in third in his
first heat.
Last year, in an entirely new car,
he was nosed out in his first heat
at Pennsylvania avenue Sc. But
from his combined experiences in
two city Derby races, he believes
he has the answer to the problem
of speed. He intends to paint his
car red and blue and christen it
the Flea. He lives at 1910 North
Ninth street, Arlington, and is a
pupil at Claude Swanson Junior
High School
another veteran of last years Derby
who Is trying again this summer
with new model. Jim, who lives
at East Falls Church, was in the
Derby in 1910 for the first time,
coming in third In the 18th heat
of the day. His 1941 racer is to
be built on the lines of tear drop.
Race on July IL.
The Derby is open to boys
between II and Is years of age, in
elusive, who live in Washington or
in the nearby Maryland and Vir-
GINA communities. To enter, boy

dealer nearest his home, where he

The Derby is to be held Saturday,

No Retreat,

British to Moks
Despsrots Stond

OLONDON, May "a - Britain
will fight on against the Nazi
invasion of Crete at almost any
sacrifice, authoritative sources
said today, as the fantastic bat
tie for the Mediterranean island
ragged through its fifth day.
An authorized declaration that
the British do not intend to use
Crete's southern ports for en-
barkation and others cautioning
the people to expect naval losses
were taken generally to mean
there will be no retreat.
Prime Minister Churchill de-
clared before the invasion that
the island will be defended to
the death and without thought of
withdrawal.
However, British reports
available up to late today indi-
Gated the defenders were holding
an edge in the fighting.
A fierce battle was being
fought around Malemi airdrome,
where British and Greek forces
are seeking to dislodge Nazi
sky troops with artillery, tanks
and machine-guns.
(The German high command,
silent until now on the whole
battle, issued a special COM
munique today declaring that
German forces had been on
Crete since May 20 and have
taken the western end of the
island, where Malemi is located,
under control. 1t mentioned
parachutists and other troops,
without specifying whether these
were forces landed by glider and
transport plane or ferried by
sea from Greece.)

tain Leonard pointed out the un-

involving the company and the
CLIO whereby each faction ap-
proved an oral understanding.
NLRB TO BE FINAL
He made clear his decision to-
day is made for the sole pur-
pose Of terminating the strike
and has absolutely no bearing
on the status of the IL, whose
cases are still pending before
the NLRB.
He said there would be no ap-
peal from his decision, because
the cases are later to 60 to the
NLRB. 1T Is my hope and desire
both factions will accept my rul-
ing in the spirit of good sports
manship," Captain Leonard said.
Because there Is no appeal, he
said, reasons for each decision
will not be published and be-
cause the cases are still pending
before the NLRB.
Captain Leonard defined the
right of the company to fire men
as defined by the NLRB, point
ing out that any dismissal Is JUS
tilted unless the reason Is solely
for union activity.
The following were present
when the decision was handed
down; Charles E. Doll, Sr., man.
ager of the Pottery; his son,
James Randolph Doll; Steve An
derson, president of the UPW

ing conditions. The UPW (CIO)
