firms now doing business have
been continuously operating for
the past ten years.
The firm of Blonde" and
Mart" as the partners are
widely known, started out as
dealers handling Auburn motor
cars. After some years selling
other makes of automobiles, the
partnership assumed the distri-
button Of Packards in 1895, later
took on Oldsmobiles, and have
been selling both ever since. The
present location, newly i'm
proved and modernized, fitted
with every up-to-the-minute ia
cility for servicing all makes Of
automobiles, has been occupied
since 1886.
No accurate record of new and
used cars has been kept covering
the period of the firms history,
but a conservative estimate of
units sold would be 1900 new
cars and $500 used ones. The
occasion of the tenth anniver-
sary finds the partners more op-
timistic than ever over the out
look for the motor car industry
for the next ten year stretch.
Motor cars are better built every
year, owners are more discrimi-
mating, and the facilities for
servicing cars are constantly un-
dergoing q process OF better
ment, they say, and the ultimate
is not yet insight.

Rutland Says VenereoI Victims
Not Escape Drafting
Diseases Held No Valid Reason
For Deferment; Some Cases Called Deliberate

trict less than 10 are found and ade-
quately treated while the disease
was still infectious, allowing 80 out
of every 100 new cases loose in this
population reservoir to seed the next
generation of syphilitics.
Results Criticized.
From these facts one gets the
impression that although there has
been an effort at venereal disease
control in the District for more than
two decades, the results of these
suppressive measures are not evil
dent" said Gen. Cox.
DR.. Rutland declared that the
venereal disease situation in the
District is not exceptional for cities
of its population group. He de-
clared the rate here could be
lessened if facilities were improved.
He emphasized that the budget for
venereal disease service had re-
NAMED substantially the same for
more than four years.
In his discussion whether infected
men should be granted deferment
from military service, DR.. Rutland
said it would be worth considering
the inclusion of these infected
draftees in military service, if they
are otherwise physically fit, so that
they might be brought under COM
pulsory treatment. Gonorrhea in
fections, he believed, could be rather
quickly cleared.

U. 5. ArcheoIogist
Defied BIitz 10
Dig al Corinth
Dean of U. S. Workers
In Greece Was forget
Of Strofine Planes
By GEORGE WELLER,

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
ATHENS, May 20 (By mail to Ber-
linz Machine by ground
stating planes one day, and acting
the next as a voluntary guide for
aviators around the antiquities of
Corinth-thiS has been the ex-
perience of Bert Hodge Hill, white
haired dean of American archeolo-
gists in Greece, during this second
World War here.
With the reopening of the roads,
he will be able to return from his
temple diggings in Corinth and
recount his series of experiences
ranking high as adventure, even in
a war where civilian experience is
the rule rather than the exception.
A rudy, stockily built scientist
of Vermont origin, Hill is far from
the type conventionally represented
as an archeologist. While the Ger
man blitZ was breaking the British
front on Mount Olympus, and that
of the Greeks in the Uindus range,
he perSevered in his patient re-
searches on the site of the old
Corinth.
All other archaeologistS had
dropped their hammers and troWelS
at least six months earlier. Eager
to continue his work, Mr.. Hill
secured the sanction of American
Minister Lincoln MacVeagh in pur-
suing his studies and excavations
until the German advance came
within striking distance of the Gulf
of Corinth.
Nazi Planes Far Ahead.
AS usual. German aviation was
two zones ahead of the Nazi ground
forces. Even before the British held
their last line at Thermopylae Pass,
German ground strafers were pour
ing their fire daily on troop columns
withdrawing across the margin of
Peloponnesus and the Isthmus of
Corinth.
Piraeus had been abandoned as
a port for daytime embarkation,
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1941-06-11

and the Australians, New Zealand
ers and British were passing only
a few minutes away from the
American diggings en- route to the
embarkation ports of Nauplia, Gala
mata and Cythion. 1t was the
bombing of New Corinth and Me-
CARA, lying across the return route
to Athens. as well as regular Ger
man attacks on the British air base
at Eleusis, together with the diff
Guilty of proceeding to Athens in
face of the fastening British COL
umnS, that made Mr.. Hill take
chances under the shadow of the
towering mountain fortress of Cor
NTH.
Mr.. Hill saw Stukas dive on the
railroad station of New Corinth, Is
minutes away by foot from the site
of Old Corinth, blasting a trainful
of Greek soldiers on a siding and
continuing toward British air bases
near Athens. Two trains full of
British soldiers had left that same
station few minutes before, headed
south.
On the Friday before the Sunday
of the German entrance into Athens,
villagers came to Mr.. Hill, saying:
"ParachutistS are here" Several
hundred had been dropped from
troop-carrying planes south of the
bridge, across the canal which had
already been blown up that morning.
Pilots Destroyed Own Planes.
my earliest idea that the line was
falling back came earlier" he said,
when Greek student pilots began
destroying their planes at the
Laikion and Argos fields"
There ensued an action in which
the Germans went strafing British
survivors in hiding during which
the archeologist took refuge, sue
cessfully, beside a fallen classical
column, in a deserted cistern, and
in an antique cellar.

Evidence that men called for selec-
tive service have acquired venereal
disease lis no valid reason" why they
should be put on deferred list,
Health Officer George C. Rutland
declared today in memorandum
to the Commissioners.
There is reason to believe that
in some instances, at least, these
infections are deliberately sought
DR.. Rutland declared. 1T does not
seem fair nor reasonable that the
physically best material should be
exposed to the hazards of war and
the damaged goods be given a pro-
tected status.
1T would seem to me that the
infected person could be deprived
Of his claims on pension or other
service advantages and in that way
the pension aspect of this question
could be Safeguarded."
Reply to Criticisms.
DR.. Ruhland's report was reply
to two comments relating to the
District venereal disease service. In
the first, it was a reply to published
criticism attributed to DR.. Ira S.
Vile of New York City to the affect
that the "venereal disease situation
in the District was deplorable."
1t also replied to report to the
Commissioners by Brig. Gen. Albert
L. Cox, District selective service di-
rector, who said since we are faced
with the serious problem of pro-
viding healthy, able-bodied men for
the military service, it is urgently
requested that the venereal disease
program in the District be critically
studied and such measures taken
as will significantly improve this
service"
Gen. Cox reported that during the
last six months more than 1000
registrants examined by the selective
service system had been disqualified
from military service because of a

R. F. {. Is Authorized
To Set Up Defense Firms

By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt signed today
legislation granting the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. power to set up
defense corporations" which could
perform any function the President
deemed necessary ITO expedite the
defense program"
These corporations could acquire
defense facilities, engage in de-
Tense production or perform other
acts deemed desirable for national
defense.
The corporations could undertake
no activities, however, which Con-
greSS had considered and rejected
since January l, 1926
In addition, the legislation would
give the R. F. c. an additional
S1,5OO,0O0 900 of lending authority
and would permit it to make loans
to foreign governments if the latter
put up their holdings of American
securities as collateral.
The measure also would continue

better protected hole" he said
cheerfully.
After the German panzer divi-
sions, crossing the isthmus on barges
at the western end, forced the Brit
ish into the Argive Plain, Mr.. Hill
found himself with numerous Ger
man visitors to the American exca-
vations, many of them in the blue
uniform, with yellow tabs, of the
Luftwaffe. Since the antiquities had
not been bombed and sketchy ma
chine-gunning had left the sites
completely unframed, the aviators
and aircraftsmen found the sites in
as good condition as in peacetime.
Wherever the German visitors
went, they showed sincere interest
in archaeological excavations" said
Mr.. Hill. They did not disturb the
diggings in any way"

Defense Housing
Conference Is Told
625, 000-Unit Minimum
Is Needed for 1912

Urging private enterprise and
on a wartime basis in producing a
minimum of 625 900 defense hous-
ing units during fiscal 1912, Defense
Housing Co-ordinator C. F. Palmer
today predicted drastic Federal &C
ton, including the institution of
residential construction priorities, in
the effort to keep defense housing
abreast of the preparedness pro-
gram.
Mr.. Palmer spoke to 500 delegates
assembled in the Mayf1ower Hotel
for a two-day national housing in
ventory sponsored by the National
Committee on the Housing Emer-
gency.
William S. KnudSen, director of
the Office of Production Manage
ment, also spoke He praised the
work being done by the Government
in its defense housing program and
stated
Mems efficiency. regardless of
income, vary in direct proportion to
the standard of their family life"
Mr.. Knudsen said that without
proper homes for its workers, no
agency engaged in defense work
could hope to reach a peak of
efficiency, adding:
THE backbone of any industrial
undertaking is the homes Of the
families in it.
Housing Held Essential.
The conference was opened by
Mrs. Dorothy Rosenman, chairman
of the Emergency Housing Com
mittee. who outlined its purposes
and detectives.
Mr.. Palmer demanded first things
first in the effort to provide more
"soldier-workers and fewer soldier
fighters" to meet the changing
technique of modern war, which, he
said, has made production par
amount"
Mr.. Palmer said the many prob
lens encountered during the first
year of the emergency are leading
ultimately to priorities.
I'VE must plan as fair and easy
a system of priorities as possible"
he declared, but we must see that
essential defense housing gets ma
terial next in line after bombers.
Defense housing is just as much
material of war as planes, tanks
and guns"
Restrictions on Other Building.
1t also might be necessary to
make a tight and narrow defini-
ton of defense housing and restrict
other building, Mr.. Palmer pre-
dicted.
He said he already had received
reports of defense housing needs
far in excess of money now avail
able and foresaw exhaustion of
funds on hand within the next
week.
Mr.. Palmer said he had received
reports indicating the necessity for
an immediate congressional appro-
priation of $5O0,000,000 for public
construction of $4,000 homes.

Air Attack on Haifa
Warning 10 British
In Syria, Nazis Say
Naval Base and Oil Supply
Port in Palestine Struck
From New Plane Base
By the Associated Press.

BERLIN, June IA German all
attack on the British naval base and
oil supply port of Haifa, Palestine
was reported by the German high
command today and Nazi sources
called it warning to the advancing
British Army in Syria.
"a French report that the
Allied drive into Syria was
Slackening said part of the de-
tense strength came from Nazi
air blows at BritainS line of
supplyD
Haifa not only is one of the three
most important corners of British
sea protection in the Eastern Med
iterranean, but the main port for
servicing the British Syrian Army
informed German sources said
Haifa is the terminus of the oil
pipeline from the Mosul fields of
1raq.
The high command announcement
that the raid was carried out from
a new German base was interpreted
in some Nazi quarters as meaning
they took off from airf1elds on newly
won Crete.
The communique did not specify
when this attack was made. Pre-
sumably, however, it was the same
raid as that reported yesterday by
the official German news agency.
DN.B. as having been carried out
Monday night.
British reports previously had
said the raiders came from a
base at Aleppo, Syria, and were
chased back there.
