'Snoop Cruise Reported Aiding
u. S. Fight on Subs in Caribbean
Nozi Plans to Fuel, Shelter U-Boots
Disclosed by Two Newspopermen

In their 12-ton schooner Blue
Stream the newspapermen visited
dozens of atolls and Gays generally
regarded as harmless desert islands
or fishing spots and reported that
the Nazis we're fitting them into
Adolf Hitler's war plans. Among
those islands Henry Morgan, the
pirate, once hid, and near them
President Roosevelt has fished. On
their reefs many ships have been
wrecked.
British Cooperate in Drive.
Gen. Andrews has reported that
intelligence officers under his COM
mand are engaged now in tracking
down spies in Central America
working for the Germans in fur
thering the plan for hiding and
fueling subs in the Caribbean re-
gion. Gen. Andrews announced his
first spy haul on July 2, when he
made it known that 20 men had
been gathered in from various Gen.
trail American points.
The British government is CO.
operating in the drive to sweep the
sea and islands free Of German in
fluence and valuable information
has been made available to United
States authorities by Latin Ameri-
cans, whose Governments adhered
to the safety belt" doctrine and
therefore have the right, even as
neutrals, to work for the ousting
of non-American belligerents from
these regions. Mr.. Hemingway and
Mr.. Jenkinson got some valuable
tips from Latin Americans.
The sea-going journalists, looking
for things people didn't want them
to see, were shot at, offered bribes
and repeatedly searched as they
went about the task which now, in
retrospect, is seen as an invaluable
contribution to the American war
effort. They found drums of oil
stored ON islands all along the
Caribbean coast of Central Amer
ica-and it was the sighting by an
American patrol plane of drums Of
oil on slow-moving ship in the
Caribbean that led to the capture
of the 20 spies in July.
Mr.. Hemingway and Mr.. Jenkin-
son came across oil on Cozumel,
24-mile- long island of the coast Of
Yucatan; on mountainous and mys-
terious old Providence and St. An
drews Islands, belonging to Colom-
bia, and on the Corn Islands, of
Nicaragua, which the United States
leased during the last war

Clark kApprehensive
Al Double Tax Part
OF Revenue Bill
Subcommittee Will Try
To Reach Decision
By Next Monday
By the Associated Press.

Chairman Clark of the Senate
Finance Subcommittee which is con-
sidering the withholding tax pro-
vision in the pending revenue bill
said today he regarded with grave
apprehension" the double taxation
feature of the House plan.
He said his subcommittee would
resume executive hearings Wednes-
day with view to recommending
to the full committee, by next Mon
day if possible, the acceptance, re-
lection or revision of the proposal,
which has drawn criticism at open
hearings by the full committee.
Our committee is considering
both the principle of the withhold
ing tax and the mechanics involved
In its operation, especially the bur-
den that source of collection would
place upon both employers and the
Treasury Department" Senator
Clark said.
The subcommittee questioned Ran
holph Paul, general Treasury coun-
sci, and several other Treasury eX-
perts at its session Friday.
Questions Probe Deeper.
Senator Danaher, Republican, of
Connecticut, another member OF the
subcommittee, said the witnesses
were questioned at greater detail
than was possible at hearings of
the full committee.
Under the House provision, per
cent of salaries and dividends would
be withheld at the source beginning
January l, 1943, as an advance pay-
ment of taxes on 1943 income. On
January l, 1914, the rate would go
to 10 per cent.
At the same time, the Treasury
would collect taxes on 1912 income
starting with base of per cent
normal rate plus surtaxes.
II think every one-certainly do
feels it is desirable to collect taxes
on a current basis" Senator Clark
said. THE difficulty is the transi-
ton period.
Il regard with grave apprehen-
oAOAl tilC 41OuoC-d PlOFCu pldll WllACll
amounts to paying three years
taxes in two years."
Ruml Testifies Wednesday.
Senator Clark said the subcom-
mittee would hear Beardsley Ruml,
treasurer of R. H. Macy, Inc, and
chairman of the Federal Reserve
Bank of New York, Wednesday.
Mr.. Ruml previously described his
Spay-as-you-go" plan to the full
committee. It would involve tax
collections on a current basis, treat
ing payments made this year on
s1941 income as payment on 1912
!ncome, and, in effect, forgetting
1941 taxes, without actually cost
ing the Government any money ex-
cept that when taxpayers die there
would be no accrued taxes to collect.
Senator Clark said the subcom-
mittee would, among other matters,
consider the Ruml plan with the
addition of the withholding tax
program.
''We are going into all the va
rious proposals with an open mind"
Senator Clark said. "I, for one,
am especially interested in finding
the most desirable transition prin-
ciple."

Bv BLAIR BOLLES,

The United States has been syste
matically scrutinizing the tiny
islands of the Western Caribbean
Sea which two adventurous sea-
going reporters said the Nazis in
tended to use as new world subma-
rine and raider bases, it was learned
today.
Successful though the U-boat
campaign has been against shipping
in American waters, the success
might have been much greater If
Leicester Hemingway and Anthony
Jenkinson had stayed at home in
stead of taking their 1910 "snoop
cruise through the waters around
those islands, which lie perilously
close to the Panama Canal.
Well before our entrance into the
war, when we still were maintaining
"the neutrality patrol" the disclos-
ures made by the American Heming-
way and the Englishman Jenkin-
son in series of six North Ameri-
can Newspaper Alliance articles-a
series regarded as one of the notable
Journalistic feats of the war-were
available to the Navy and Army
August is the anniversary month OF
the appearance of the articles.
The two "snoop cruisers" were
confirmed in their suspicious beyond
conjecture when they themselves
were asked to carry fuel to a certain
Caribbean point for German SUBJ
marines use.
Gen. Andrews in Command.
The cleanup of the Caribbean was
increased after the attack on Pearl
Harbor. The entry of the United
States into the war brought to an
end the division of authority be-
tween the Navy and the Army over
defending the Western Caribbean
region. The command of this region
is centralized now under 1t. Gen.
Frank Andrews at the Canal Zone,
who has Navy men and equipment
working for him.
Although the declaration OF
Panama of October, 1889, creating
the 300-mile safety zone" around
the Western Hemisphere, gave the
United States the privilege Of bar
ring belligerent operations from the
Caribbean, not until Mr.. Heming-
way and Mr.. Jenkinson visited the
Caribbean almost year later was
the public provided with any hint
of the scope of Germany's prepara-
tions in that purely American sea
for conduct of its maritime war.

Colombian President
Shows Interest in
Health Problems
Lower Closes, Long
Neglected, May Yet
Get Proper Foods
BY NAT A. BARROWS,
FOREIGN Correspondent OF The Star and
Chicago Daily News.

Foreign Correspondent OF The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
BOGOTA, Colombia, Aug IT,
just as he gave the rest of Latin
America something to think about
In his inaugural address warning
that neutrality or non-belligerency
is no safeguard against the enemies
of the United States, President
Alfonso Lopez now shows interest
in setting the pace for South Amer
lea toward alleviating the deep
rooted social problems Of health
and sanitation.
Since he entered the presidential
palace 10 days ago for second
term, DR.. Lopez has been holding
frequent conferences with DR.. Lay
Martin, an associate of Johns Hop
kins and medical consultant for
the co-ordinator of inter American
affairs. 1t is a hopeful sign that
this government will really imple-
ment a long-range plan for teaching
the depressed-and depressing
lower classes how to raise and eat
proteins and green vegetables.
The virility of Latin American
laborers has been sapped for four
centuries by improper foods. Large
landowners have shown indifference
to the needs of the forgotten man
and malnutrition today is taking
its toll as more and more the United
States Board of Economic Warfare
needs strong workers to keep wild
rubber, balsa fiber and base metals
moving from jungle camps to war
industries.
Problem Treated Casually.
Not even the most supersensitive
Latin, critical Of the slightest ad-
verse comment, denies the great
mass Of people in these countries
are underfed, cut off from adequate
protein supply. Yet the problem OF
the cold, starved, drunk Indian has
been treated altogether too casually.
The overall health and sanitation
program for South American must
embrace certain basic points:
l. Sanitary committees. free from
politics, must have full power to en-
force the sterilization Of food and
water.
2. The nutritional status Of each
country must be studied to de-
termine diet DEFICIENCIES district by
district.
3. The people must be taught
what is good food and made to eat
green vegetables, meat and eggs
and drink milk even if the govern
ments purposely make other foods
expensive and subsidize protein and
vitarin foods.
Amazing Results.
In Venezuela the Iago Oil Co.
achieved amazing results with la
borers by feeding them proper food
along with giving them medical
treatment for parasites and fevers
Even in the first few weeks the out
put was greatly increased. Mexico
already has built an excellent san
itation department and her food
teaching system is paying inspiring
dividends. DR.. Lopez Herrarata, in
Guatemala, and DR.. Lujun, ir
Costa Rica. have shown particular
enlightenment toward the local diet
deficiency and elimination projects
1t is big job to overcome the in
heritance of four centuries and one
that South America can not handle
entirely alone. Through the good
neighbor program, the United States
can help unqualified cultural mission
misfits, who all too often fail tt
achieve sympathetic viewpoint.

Pep, Archibald At
 Hartford, Tuesday

Hartford, June 20-Former worlds keatherweight champion Joey Archi- bald comes to Hartford for second time Tuesday night to fight 8 fav- Orite son. This time 1t will be the sensational Willie Pep, East Slider who has yet to be beaten as a pro. The fight will be held at Bulkeley Stadium.
 Pep has won 42 fights and in re- cent months has had his opposition stepped up. But never before has he met an ex-champ of the universe, though tangling with section al champions and winning. This will undoubtedly be Wee Willie's stern est test. For the Providence boxer is noted for his ring skill and gen. @ralship.
 He fought Bobby Ivy here in 1940 and dropped a close decision in 6 battle described as one of the best seen here in many month. Only an early start saved Ivy from a pos sible loss, for Archibald finished strong and had Bobby bleeding at the mouth in the ninth.
 Eight ROunder
 The Archibald duel is down for eight heats, there being some controversy over the distance when the match was first preached. Al We'll, Joey's manager, was sticking out for ten rounds, while Lenny Marello, who helped pilot Bat Bat talino to the feather title, wanted 1t eight in acting for Willie.
 While Archibald has been training in earnest in Stillman's Gym, New York, the local feather has been busy at Charter Oak Gym here with sparring partners and going through the usual training chores. Having beaten Joey Iannotti of New Haven here less than three weeks ago, Pep needs little work to get back in top form.
 Two other eights and another pair of bouts will complete the bill.

United Press staff Correspondent

United Press Staff COrreSpOndent)
 New York, June 20 (UP0 - Leslie MacN1itchell, the battered mile king from N. Y. U. who has been upset in his last two starts, at- tempts to salvage the remnants of his reputation in defense of the l. 500-meter title in the National A. A. U. track and field championships at Triborough Stadium today.
 The metric mile promised the race of the year and headlined a 19- event program in which 12 cham pions defend their laurels. Lined up against little Leslie was a large field which included the men who have led him to the tape in his last two races.
 One is Bobby Ginn, the midget Nebraskan who dethroned Mac Mitchell last week in the NCAA championships. Another is Don Burnham of Dartmouth, conqueror of Mighty Mac in the Metropolitan AAU, test. Then there are Deacon Gil Dodds, the laundering theolog- ical student who stopped Mac Mitchell's indoor streak by winning the board track AAU crown, and Leroy Weeds of Southern California, the Vests best.
 More Champs
 Other defending champions in this meet, possibly the last major track test for the duration, are Hal Davis, San Francisco Olympic Club, 200 meters; Charley Beetham, Co., lumbus, O., 800-meters; Greg Rice, New York A. O., 5000 meters: Arky Erwin, Louisiana State, 4O0-meter hurdles; Forest Flaw, Saltwater, Okla, 3,0OO-meter Steeplechase; Cornelius Warmerdam, Olympic Club, pole vault; Archie Harris, North Carolina A. & T.

 Two senior champions were crowned yesterday and the junior championships, which produced three records, were held. Lieutenant Joe McCluskey, 31-year-old former Fordham star who now is in the Navy conditioning division; took the senior 10,000-meter run. John Con- nelly, N. Y. A. O., a 32-year- -old railway clerk, captured the 3,O0O- meter walk.
 It was the 22nd national title for McC Cluskey, a 12-year veteran. He never had won this race, collapsing short of the finish while leading last year. But McCluskey moved them down yesterday, running Fred Wilt of Indiana into the track on the last lap to win in 32:38.3.
 The three new junior records went to blond Bob Beierle of Wisconsin. Frank aKiser of Sacramento Junior College and Jimmy Smith of the California A. A.
