WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Three members of the so-called non- interventionist bloc, Sem tors Wheeler, Van Nuys, and Nye, called on the Navy Department today to make public the actual number of German submarines which have been sunk so far by American war ships.
 In separate talks with reporters, the trio said the nation should be given all information regarding U. S. naval activities which can be released without endangering lives of American seamen.
 "The policy of Secretary of the Navy Knox is the same as used by Hitler and Stalin,' charged Wheel CT.
 I'd rather take the studied opin- ion of the American and British navies than that of the isolationist members of the Senate" snapped back Senator Claude Pepper.

The study showed that for a
seven-day period following storms,
when highways were at their worst,
not single motorist was killed.
But as soon as the weather mod
Grated and ice disappeared from
highways there was a series of fatal
accidents.
Unnecessary speed is the killer

of the true situation while on a
drive through Kauai, the northern
most island of the group. My COM
panion was an official of the Insular
Government. I spoke Of the posi-
bility Of war between Japan and the
United States and mentioned the
considerable numerical superiority
of Japanese -Hawaiians. My escort,
who held an important position in
which he had knowledge of defen-
Slve measures, said:
There is no ground for anxiety.
We know who is here and there is
plenty Of room for concentration

He pointed out certain spaces in
the hilly sections of the island. It
was in perhaps a spirit of levity thai
he particularly called attention to
the great canyon Of Waimea, which
is a large-scale miniature Of the
Grand Canyon Of the Colorado.
There" he said. pointing down
to its vast depths and almost per-
pendicular walls, hundreds of feet
in height, there is an ideal concen-
tration camp site in case Of war be-
tween Japan and the United States"
While I have doubt If Waimea
will ever be used for such a purpose.
it afforded an illustration of the
facilities in Hawaii for the assem-
blage of many tens of thousands OF
potential enemy aliens under secure
guardianship that gave me some
comfort on the score Of fifth column
betrayal in Hawaii.
All these observations were Of
| course based upon the hypothesis
that there would be some warning
OF an attack, and certainly more
prompt and effective measures of
defense. To what extent the fifth
column activities of the Japanese
Hawaiians contributed to the naval
disaster must remain for eventual
discovery and disclosure.

halted him, drew knife and took
81 in change from his pockets.
Fifteen minutes later, Sam I'm

up by two colored men in an alley
near his home and robbed of $33
Shortly before l am, Maurice j
Porter, colored, of 1112 P street
NV, was beaten and robbed of Sc
by four colored men while standing
on the street near his home. He
was treated for face lacerations at

At l am. four colored men drove
into Schaeffer's Gas Station. at 208
K street SW., and took between

At 1:30 am, four colored men
seized James H. Jewell, 66, of 1915
Belmont street NV. as he stood in
front of his home and took 81 from

Circumstances of the robberies

the thugs led police to believe the
robberies might be the work of two
gangs.

Bibeault was nervous at the start
and let the Leafs whip away to a

second period he was nothing less
than brilliant in rebuffing the Leafs
