To Be Vice Admiral
Directed Carrier Force;
Ferguson Continued
As Housing Chief

Rear Admiral Frank Jack

dent Roosevelt today to be vice
admiral.
The President also sent to the

Admiral Fletcher, who makes his
home at La Plata, Md, directed a

ton, whose. planes caught jap
anese invasion fleet in the Solo
mon Islands harbor of Tulagi and
all but annihilated it.
Three days later Admiral Fletch-
er's aircraft struck the main body
of the japanese force off Misima
and sank an aircraft carrier and a
cruiser, heavily damaging a number
of other ships.
Admiral Fletcher was born in
Marshalltown, Iowa, April 20, 1885,
and was appointed to the Naval
Academy in 1902. He served on the
Florida in the occupation of Vera
Cruz, Mexico in April, 1914 From

A Admiral Cunningham reported

it was "neutralized"
The heroic defenders of the bat
tered island never yielded in their

pending on the reinforcements
which might be moved in there.
First Hint of Close Co. operation.
Disclosure that the 14,700-ton
Wasp had taken in these reinforce
ments, using at least some British
pilots and planes, was the first
revelation that British air units
had been brought into such close
cooperation with the American
Navy as to execute the extremely
delicate operations involved in land
ing on and taking off from an air
craft carrier.
There was no indication as to
whether American planes and pilots
had been left at Malta for the per-
manent reinforcement of that island
The Wasp was the fourth vessel
designed and built as an aircraft
carrier for the Navy Authorized in
1884, it was constructed at the Beth

Roosevelt Emergency Fund
Expedited Bases, He Says
3, the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt, reporting to
Congress on how he had used $685.
100000 of emergency funds made
available to him, asserted today
that the money had helped expe-
dite construction of cantonments,
hemisphere bases and ships and
the accumulation of stock pile OF
wool and copper.
The money was appropriated TO
the Chief Executive in various acts
to permit him to meet unforeseen
defense and war contingencies.
He said in message transmitting
the report that 81 per cent of the
funds were allocated to four agen-
cies-the War and Navy Depart
ments, the Maritime Commission
and the Federal Loan Agency.
In many instances, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, subsequent appropriations
were made for the continuation of
projects and programs undertaken
with the emergency fund, but this
money made it possible to initiate
these programs without delay and
thus materially expedite our war
effort"

Chairman James L. Fly of the
Federal Communications Commits

on the question of newspaper own
ership of radio stations might be
forthcoming before very long.
Finishing three weeks of testi

have formed no conclusions" as to
whether the commission has au-
thority to refuse to grant a broad
casting license to a newspaper, but
'in a very short time" decision
may be made and announced.
BY that, he added. he meant per-
haps several months.
Public Interest Is Key.
The question to sbe determined on
the basis of an investigation started
a year ago, Mr.. Fly said, is how
the public interest" Is affected by
Joint newspaper-radio ownership.
In reply to questions by Repre-
sentative Sanders, Democrat, of
Louisiana, Mr.. Fly said he had INC
objection to Congress expressing
itself on the subject of newspaper
ownership of radio stations ano
added that the commission might
decide to throw the entire problem
into the lap of Congress.
On the other hand, he said, the
commission may have the power
under the public interest concept
to make a decision"
The chairman steadfastly declined

Asked by Representative Sander:
whether the commission had as.

the chairman retorted:
You ought to abolish the com
mission and get another one i

Asked whether the recent com

Blocking of Suez
Hinted if British

LONDON, July 1-Official circles
hinted today that the Suez Canal
would not be left in workable condi-
ton if the British should be forced
to retreat to the Red Sea and be-
yond.
The canal would not be blocked
unless loss of the whole Near East
became inevitable, however, Brit
ish source said, because it is ex-
tremely important to British naval
operations in that area.
Alexandria is ''well-defended
base" source said, but he added
that if it fell the British Mediter-
ranean feet still would be able to
operate from Port Said, Egypt;
Haifa, Palestine, and possibly Bel
rut, Lebanon, which so far have
been used only by small warships.
It was stated, however, that cap
ture of Alexandria by the desert
army of Field Marshal Erwin Rom
mel would be a great blow, as the
Egyptian port is a well-establlshed
naval center with docking and re-
pair facilities.
