Air Attacks Drive Invaders From Sections Of Aleutians
MORE TROOPS CROSS ATLANTIC Large Contingent Lands in Ireland; Swiftest Ocean
 Crossing
BY LEO S. DIsHER

United Press Staff Correspondent
 A Northern Irish Port, June 13- (UP)-A large contingent of United States troops arrived at this port to- day to reinforce the growing Amer ican army which, with its British allies, is to take the fight to Ger many on a second European front.
 Included among the reinforce mentS were small detachment of negro soldiers, detailed for the Serv- ices of supply, and more up-to-the- minute mechanized equipment, in- cluding tanks.
 The crossing of this new Ameri- can force was without incident and probably was one of the swiftest.
 Tired and restive after their voy- age across the submarine infested Atlantic, the troops, including the negroes, disembarked quickly and, climbing into trucks, were hustled to prepared camps without fanfare.
 Living symbols of the pledge that the United States, like Britain, had agreed with Russia as to the urgent need for a second front, the crowd ing troops and their great masses of equipment were disgorged from 8 convoy.
 Many tanks and guns of all de- ScriptionS were unloaded at emerg- ency pace so the ships could start home and take on more troops, tanks and guns.
 The ships intend to keep up that ever increasing flow of men and materials which is the watchword of the American army in Europe.
 The complete lack of ceremony was the most impressive part of the arrival, because the men were on business. They were the most bois- terous lot of Americans since the first troops landed in northern Ire land Jan. 26. They were the fourth contingent to arrive.

YOUNG DEMOCRATS
 TO HEAR ADDRESS

Stamford, Conn, June 13--(UP) Young Democrats of Connecti- cut settled down to the business session of their annual state con- vention today. ard to hear the key note addresses of Congressman Le- Roy D. Downs, Norwalk.
 It was considered probable that Gov. Robert A. Hurley, who speaks at tonight's banquet, might an- tlounce his candidacy for reelection,
 Resolutions hailing the admin istration of Gov. Hurley, and con- demning Republicans as isolation ists, were to be considered during the session.
 Other resolutions opposed a sales tax, praised President Roosevelt as the worlds outstanding leader" and paid tribute to Young Demo- crats now serving with the armed forces.
 Meantime, at Bridgeport, Social ists made preparations for this fall state campaign as the party'S state committee called an executive meeting for Sunday.

If true, this catch of an outsize

The upper Potomac River happens

af1oat the year around, returned re-
Gently from a two-Week cruise of
the lower Potomac on his 42-foot
cruiser Katherine I'd, bringing with
him reports of increased yachting
activity on the river.
While it wasn't like the old days,
Skipper Barnes said, still he saw q
number of yachts. At Harryhogan,
Va, where the Katherine went on
the railway for some repairs, three
other cruisers from Washington had
checked in. They included B. E.
Buckley's LIE Renard and Bill Star
rett's cruiser.
Barnes said he noted fewer fish,
ermen and ship workers along the
lower reaches of the Potomac, indi-
eating rivermen were going into the
armed services in large numbers.
There was plenty of rain, too he
said.

Fourth Swim Record
For Capital AAU Set
By Betty Roland

Another record, bringing the total
to four, was set last night in the
concluding events of the District
AAU swimming meet at Takoma
pool.
Betty Roland, 15-year-old Shore
ham Club lassie, added mark when
she captured the l50-yard individ-
ual medley in minutes 88 seconds.
This was 4.8 seconds off the 1941
record set by Patsy Palmer, who
finished fourth last night.
It was the second Palmer record
broken in the meet. One of the
two marks on Mondays opening
night by Jean Ort, 16, bettered Miss
Palmer's 100-yard freestyle. Miss
Ort also set 50-yard freestyle rec
ord then, while the other record was
in the 1O0-yard backstroke by Leola
Thomas, Is.
Miss Ort finished second in last
nights medley, giving her individ-
ual honors for the meet with two
firsts and second for 13 points.
Biggest surprise of the entire meet
was that Miss Palmer, the clty's
outstanding swimmer for the last
two years, failed to win an event.
She had one second place and three
fourths.
Last nights other event was the
mems lowboard diving, won by Nick

lily gave Ambassador the team cham

record rainfall. Several days must
elapse, even if more rain doesn't
fall, before the upper river clears
for good fishing.
Bane of the lower river, small
mouth bass fisherman is the muddy
Monocacy River. This stream, orig
mating in Pennsylvania and flowing
through Maryland below Frederick,
enters the Potomac near Dickerson,
Md, about 35 miles above Washing
ton. The Monocacy seldom is clear,
and it muddies the Potomac below.
1t is largely responsible for the mud
dy condition of the Potomac below
its confluence with that river. But
above the Monocacy, which fur
nishes fine bass fishing when clear,
the Potomac and Shenandoah, all
the way up, produce some good
fishing.
Best bass season, of course, comes
in the early fall, on the upper river.
