Government agencies and local
leaders wanting newspaper photo
graphs made on Capitol Hill to pub
licize salvaging Of defense materials
had better get together with the
Capitol police force next time.
Here's the story:
A parade Of 20 trucks loaded with
materials which should be saved in
war time, half a dozen Army motor
vehicles, two bands, and scores Of
marchers and decorated automobiles
was sponsored yesterday by the
Junior Board of Commerce and
the District Salvage Committee to
publicize the salvage collection cam
paign.
Starting at the salvage depot of
the Southwest Citizens Association
at 331 G street S.W., the parade
moved by the reviewing of1cials on
the Capitol Plaza, where the o. E. M.
information division had suggested
the best pictures might be made.
'Laxity" Charge Recalled.
When newspaper photographers
started in, however. Capitol police
called halt. They pointed out one
Washington newspaper had pub
lished an "unfavorable story" the
other day about alleged laxity in
guarding the Capitol, 50 newspaper
photographers were ''verboten"
without special permission from the
architect of the Capitol.
1t was about then that the news
men noticed a photographer for
weekly magazine and numerous
amateur photographers making pic
lures Of the parade all over the
place. With one accord. they stop
ped talking, moved out where they
could see what was left of the
parade-and even made a picture
or two.
For the parade the photographers
almost missed the Army-supplied
command cars, gun movers, jeeps
and transport trucks. The civilian
trucks, which bore banners empha-

Tropic Scenes on Currency.
| Trinidad Is tropical In its vegeta-
ton. Tall palm trees lift their
fronds high in air against the deep
blue OF the sky. Beauty Of the
island is perpetuated in the en-
graved pictures on the Trinidad
paper money. On each one dollar
note, for instance, which is worth
slightly less than the American dol
lar, are two pictures Of local seem
cry. One shows an old tree -masted
sailing ship, in harbor against the
background of g. mountain rising
sharply from the shore. The other
depicts a cocoanut palm against the
background of harbor with ship
and mountain.
While the British government,
known as the Government of Trim
idad and Tobago," issues this dollar
note, its other money in metal is
more british in character, includ-
ing shillings, two-pence. pence and
halfpenny. A newspaper costs four
cents. The people, including the
large colored population, speak with
distinctly British accent.
Picturesque sights of the island
roads include numerous ox-carts,
drawn by some of the largest oxen
seen in a long trip through South
America. Natives refuse to cut OF
the animals horns, which ere
enormous. The oxen are guided by
a single long rein of leather or rope
fastened to ring in the nose of
the animal. Direction is indicated
by pulling this lone rein to the
right or left.
Many Hindus are included among
the population. They wear typical
flowing white robes and huge white
turbans wound about the head.
They have their own Hindu temples
Bicycles Popular.
Contrasting with the slowly mov-
ing ox-carts on the long winding
streets of Port-au-Spain are the
numerous bicycles. Most of the
population seemed to be going to
and from work on their wheels
There are many American-made
motor cars.
Only few miles off the coast Of
Venezuela, Trinidad, about 10 de-
grees north of the equator, is be-
lieved originally to have formed
part of the South American CONT
nent. 1t contains about 1852
square miles, while the nearby island
of Tobago, under the same govern
ment of the United Colony of Trini-
dad and Tobago, is q miles long
and 711s miles wide.
Discovered by Columbus in 1893,
the island of Trinidad has been
colonized continuously since 1877
and has been under British rule
since 1897.
Tobago is one of the places said
by some to have been the island
Defoe had in mind when he wrote
the famous story of Robinson
Crusoe" But this claim is disputed
by Chile, whose islands of Juan
Fernandez far out in the Pacific

DIV ElAnOLD 1Noo6As0s
Attacks by German submarines or
oil tankers in the Caribbean Sea
have aroused the British people Of
picturesque Port-of-Spain, Trinidad
to dangers war is bringing to the
Western Hemisphere.
The submarine menace was the
chief concern at Port-of-Spain
when I was there a few days ago
en- route from South America to the
United States, and the local press
featured the situation, both in news
and editorials.
Conversations turned on the pos
sibility of Axis U-boats attempting
to strike at the oil industry of Trini-
dad. 1t was relatively only short
time after the attacks at Aruba and
Curacao that these fears were
realized when two ships at anchor
in the Gulf of Paria, of Port-of-
Spain, were damaged Wednesday by
explosives, presumably by undersea
attacks.
Aruba Called plain Warning"
"Aruba is a plain warning" said
the Trinidad Guardian, in an edi-
torial, which called on the popula-
ton to awake to the threat.
Referring to the quick pursuit OF
submarines by United States air.
planes, the Guardian said, "The
fact that enemy craft can enter the
Caribbean and cause destruction In
places where vital oil reflneries are
situated is cause for concern.
"It has been suggested that the
Aruba Curacao attacks might be an
attempt to create a diversion to
draw United States naval strength
from the crucial battle of the
Pacific" continued the Guardian
"It were far better if we faced the
facts, and realized the danger which
has now been brought vividly to us
These submarine attacks are Of
particular interest to us. as Curacao
Is only SIT miles from Trinidad, and
Aruba only a short distance farther
/ If they do not spur us to greater
consciousness of the risks of war
nothing short of direct raid on this
colony will. ."
Referring to "complacency" which
had greeted appeals for the colony
to grow more food and suggestions
for more attention to air-raid pre-
cautions, the Guardian declared
1.-THE complacent who would have
ridiculed any suggestion that enemy
submarines would venture to strike
at detectives in the Caribbean can
not now dismiss as fantastic the
possibility of enemy attack in other
forms. Mindful of the fate OF other
people who refused to believe the
war could reach them, let us all get
down to work now that we see the
danger. The authorities must give
vigorous lead, and the people will
then dutifully do their part"
Featuring news of enemy subs
against Aruba, the Port-of-Spain
Gazette declared "the shelling OF
Aruba is the first enemy attack on
territory in the Western Hemi-
sphere"
The oil industry is important in
Trinidad, and has made headway
over the famed natural asphalt de-
posts, for which the island is best
known. There has been a decline
in the taking Of asphalt from the
great beds.
Contrary to some widely-held no.
tions that the asphalt deposits fill
back up to their original level, after
loads have been removed, 1t was
explained that the great lake Of this
deposit does resume its surface, but
gradually Is being lowered. The
supply, however, will last an in
dennite time. The asphalt is such
