EXPECT NAzI ATTACK INTO
 EGYPT SOON
Enemy Gathers for Fight Toward Nile, Suez Canal
 -Parathutists Ready

LONDON, June 23-The rapidly gathering enemy might on the borders of Egypt has banished any doubt that the Axis will strike swiftly and in force at the hastily manned British line barring its way to the Nile and Suez Canal, a military commentator here says.
 He added: The next move IS obvious. The Germans will attack eastward from Libya toward Egypt and probably southward in air borne formations from Crete. They may be attacking now"
 London observers estimated that about five divisions of Nazi para chutists are massed at Crete, which lies about 150 miles north of the Egyptian frontiers defense posi- tions.

 in Latest Torpedoing
lBY ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Possibly the heaviest loss of life in a single sinking off the Atlantic Coast since the United States en- tered the war was disclosed with the Navy's announcement that 2 medium sized American freightes went down June Is with 88 per- sons missing, two of whom, U. s. soldiers, are known to be dead.
 This is the 294th ship sunk in the Western Atlantic since Pearl Harbor.
 The sinking was revealed less than a day after the Navy an nounced it has been conveying mer- chant shipping along the East coast for approximately 30 days.
 The freighter was hit by two torpedoes 75 miles off. the U. 5. Coast and sank so rapidly that none of it's lifeboats could be launched. Many of those missing are believed to have been trapped in cabins below decks.
 However, 31 persons, including 25 U. s. soldiers were rescued ana brought to East Coast ports where the vessel nearly was safe when the attack occurred.
 The Navy's convoy system Is sup posed to cover the Eastern sea frontier from Maine to Florida.
 Among the missing are Is sol dierS.

 BASES TEMPORARY Says Attempt Will Be Made to Regain Islands as Weather Clears

WASHINGTON, June 23-Sena- tor Charles L. McNary of Portland, Oregon, says that he has been as sured by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox that protection of the Western coastline will be "immedi- atelv strengthened and enlarged"
 Expressing concern about the Jap inroads in the Aleutian Islands and the shellnlgs along the Oregon and British Columbia coasts, Nc Nary said that he has urged upon Knox the necessity of protection for the Pacific Coast States and Alaska against further Jap aggression,
 McNary said that Knox told him the Navy is alert to the situation but that he thought the incident off the Oregon coast is an isolated one
 McNary told Knox that unless the Japs are driven out of the Aleu- tIans and Northwestern Coastal waters promptly i've might as well cancel the advantages gained in the Midway victory"
 The Senator said that Knox ad- vised him that in the Navys opin- ion. the Jap establishments at Kis- ka are only temporary and intend ed for obsei yation post uses and that when the weather clears an effort will be made to drive them off Kiska and other islands in the AleutianS.

The W ashingtOn Merry -Go Round
By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT s. ALLEN

WASHINGTON - For years the U. s. Chamber of Commerce has been considered the citadel of big business and the nations most vit- riolic group of labor -baiters. For years it's officers have hurled an- nual, semi-annual and sometimes monthly diatribes at Roosevelt s policies and at labor unions.
 Therefore you can get some idea of their astonishment when the president of the United States Chamber of Commerce, MT. Eric Johnston, called on Phil Murray head of the CIO and Bill Green of the AFL.
 MT. Johnston, newly elected pres ident of the U. s. Chamber, is its first president to come from west of Chicago. He is from Spokane, Wash. Also he is A and the Cham ber's youngest president.
 His talks with Green and Murray were as refreshing as his compara- tive youth.
 This may surprise you" he said but I think we businessmen have a lot in common with labor, and I'd like to propose that we get together on several things. I think can even show you that already we agree on quite few things.
 My organization has done some things wrong in the past, but think can get most members to agree now on recognition of unions
 That doesn't mean the closed shop necessarily. But here's the first thing I think we can all agree on-cutting out name calling We've called labor lot of names and you've thrown lot of brick bats at us. I think the atmosphere would be lot better if both sides cut this out and gave the other the benefit of the doubt.
 This sound suggestion struck ar immediate responsive chord in botf

Other information about movements of ships, troops, supplies and equip ment should be kept secret if known. The situation is serious and attack is probable from information ob- tained from military intelligence.
 If transports arrive, people should not broadcast the informa- tion as the enemy has ears and is always searching for information of this type. It may be possible that your talk alone may seem of no value to you but to the enemy this talk is valuable and may cost us the lives of many men as well as to bring destruction on your town.
 These bulletins are not issued to alarm you, but to impress upon you that war is on our flank and can develop overnight in the center.

 Three Years

WASHINGTON, June 23-A SAP billion Army supply bill, the larg- est in history, has been sent to the House by it's Appropriation Committee, to finance an Army strength of 4.5O0000 by July l, 1943 and to send war material to other United Nations countries.

 The omnibus bill provides for SIP billion for financing war material for the United Nations, bringing to almost S63 billion the total lend lease aid thus far approved by Con- gress.
 It also includes $11 billion for 23,55O planes and spare parts.
 The Army Chiefs committee joined in assuring Congress that the allotment will complete the War Departments part in the Presidents production program calling for co., 900 planes this year and 125,000 in 1943.

AS more and more women rush
to join their local chapters of the
Red Cross and the American Wom-
ems Voluntary Services, there is
less time to devote to the planning
and preparation of elaborate meals.
A supply of glassed foods will
solve many breakfast, luncheon and
dinner problems. The fruits are
useful as first course, dessert and
in salads. The vegetable item on
the dinner menu is taken care of
by serving jar of expertly glassed
corn, beans. spinach, peas or beets.
Glassed syrups often add the fin

Vivid Spring Hats Are Aid
To Courage And Morale
Color Is Keynote of Newest Hats AS Women
Wage War On Drabness

Hats on-for keeping heads high
and steps firm!
What is it about a new hat that
holsters morale and keeps courage
high? Often it's the color, or COM
bination of colors, complementing
or contrasting with face and eye
coloring, which cause other eyes
to admire the woman in the becom-
ing hat.
Color is the keynote of the new
spring hats. "Color for courage" is
the theme To avoid drabness of
looks and feelings, women will
wear lovely, colorful hats, and
costume without hat will not be
considered complete.
Psychological Effect
The psychological effect of be-
coming hat upon a woman's spirit
is more than imagination. It's a
womans hat which comes closest
to her face, and therefore is most
closely associated with her person
ality. A worn-out faded hat be-
speaks drab personality, where
as a bright, new hat bespeaks
courage and vividness of personal
ity. Stringy, wind-torn hair and no
hat, tells the story of careless
grooming and lack of personal
rN,sid 10 hot II hn1d
in place by flattering hat tells the
story of careful grooming and a
well-ordered manner of living.
Influences others
Not only does a pretty new hat
have a salutary effect upon the
wearer-it also has tonic influ-
ence upon those around her. It's
like looking at beautiful painting,
to gaze upon woman smartly
groomed and wearing a hat which
frames her face and brings out the
color of her complexion or her eyes.
Now that 'heads high and steps
firm" is the national watchword, it
behooves the women of the country
to keep up their appearance-not
to let down and be careless about
grooming or looks. More than ever,
they must dress with pride-not
lavishly, but with careful attention
to details. Wearing becoming hats
is one way to keep the we'll
groomed look.
