more bitter against the enemy.
They're just anxious to win the war,
just like u.s."
What the injured seamen do like
is to lie around and read comic
magazines Philanthropic groups
furnish all kinds of reading matter,
but the favorite books are the cur
rent issue of some comic strip
drama.
The language problem sometimes
complicates nursing when the pa
tient is from foreign ship, but
there's always more than one sea-
man in the hospital from the same
boat, and in the group the nurses
usually manage to find some one
who can speak English.
Wouldn't Give Up Key.
There are times, too, when the
problem isn't one of language. For
instance, there was q Scotsman who
had suitcase put away in the
locker but wouldn't give any one his
key to get the articles he needed.
Finally" laughed a nurse, I'VE
found he had a suitcase full of
ladies lingerie. He had bought it
for his wife, and he said he was
going to give it to her if he had to
swim to Scotland"
One of the torpedoed Britons
asked nurse to buy him some
filmy underthings. His wife wanted
them. The duty she had to pay

Applicants Increase,
Housing Units Drop
In Alexandra
452 of 704 Requests
For Houses Are Filled
By Registry in August

Applications for houses. apart
ments and rooms in Alexandria con-
tinue to rise with no increase in the
number of units available, according
to a report issued by Mrs. Ellen
Harper. director of the Defense
Housing Registry.
During August, 2,o51 persons vis-
tied the registry and made applica-
tions for 1924 separate units. Mrs
Harper was able to place 452 of the
704 applications which were for
houses. During July, l,525 persons
came to the office, 942 applications
were filed and 442 we're placed.
The greatest demand is for two
and three-room furnished apart
ments, and at the moment none is
listed for rent. Demand is also
great for houses and for rooms on
bus lines.
Most of the applicants are en-
ployed in the new War department
building, the Eastern Area Red
Cross, the Naval Torpedo station,
Fort Belvoir and the Quartermaster
depot. Mrs. Harper said the Office
no longer gets requests from persons
not employed in or near Alexandria
Many applicants have inquired as
to the possibility of public housing
program in Alexandria and Mrs.
Harper has 100 applications for such
housing if program is put into
effect.
The housing situation will be
greatly relieved during the next
month or so with the opening of two
new apartment projects on Mount
Vernon Memorial boulevard and one
on Commonwealth and Monroe
avenues. These projects are being
constructed by private firms with
Federal money and must adhere to
the ruling requiring rentals under
$50 a month per unit and occupancy
only by Government or defense
workers. According to Mrs. Harper
most of the units have already been
rented.

haryIand's S Oil Supply
Held Sufficient for Fall

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. IL tP.-
Oil experts agreed today that the
supply of fuel oil now stored in
Maryland is sufficient to meet all
foreseen fall demands, but officials
of several leading companies said
the situation still was very serious" ;"
I'VE have enough fuel oil to take
care of the fall demands for home
and industrial heating" the vice
president of one large firm reported,
but heaven knows what will hap
pen when the real winter weather
sets in"
The officials were unanimous in
their expectation of some type of
rationing, although Petroleum Co.
ordinator Ickes said Thursday he
was mot prepared to go on record
for fuel oil 'rationing yet"
Reserves in Maryland have been
materially enlarged during the last
several weeks, because of the mora
torium which forbade most fuel oil
deliveries from early in August to
September Is.
The officials also said that infor-
nation available indicated that
| gasoline rationing had freed rail-
road tank cars for the job of carry
ing fuel oil, This does not answer
the problem, they added, since re-
serves still are far short of those
needed.

A Yugoslav today, if he is not

thoughts and action toward the
war and Constantin Fotitch, Yugo-
slav Minister to the United States,
is no exception.
Considered an exceptionally adroit
diplomat in government circles, he
is an even better example of the
foreign service of a small nation
which, in order 70 guard its from
tiers and interests, must rely on
diplomatic brains rather than on
sheer power. The Third Reich, how
ever, refuses to recognize the hon.
orable traditions of diplomacy.
The Minister has an affability
which gives way to a sadness when
he thinks of his family in Belgrade.

Dies 10 Ask BiddIe
For All Reports on
Federal Workers
Committee Chairman
Indicates Doubt Thut
Statement Was Complete

Chairman Dies of the House Com
mittee on Un-American Activities,
announced last night that he will
ask Attorney General Biddle for all
reports submitted to Mr.. Biddle by
the FBI on the results of its inquiry
into complaints of alleged subver-
sive activities by Federal employees.
Mr.. Dies indicated he had reason
to believe that the report submitted
to Congress by the Attorney General
on September Q was not the full
FBI report.
Representative Dies, who is now
in Texas, made the announcement
through the Office of the Special
House Committee here. 1t was dis
closed also that a meeting of the
committee will be called on Sep
tember 81 to consider the Biddle
report.
The FBI report transmitted to
Soii5iCco NY Vic aVhJi l1Cy AJCllCI dl
covered approximately 20 pages, and
revealed that 4,579 complaints of
alleged subersive activity by Fed
eral employees had been referred to
the FBI up to August %.
The FBI Investigations resulted in
the dismissal of SO persons by the
employing agencies, with disciplinary
action, such as reprimand or trans
fer from national defense employ
ment. in 13 other cases.
Chairman Dies, it was said will ask
the Justice Department to tell how
many Federal employees were shown
by the FBI investigation to have
been members of organizations off,
cially listed as subversive. The re-
port submitted to Congress on
September 2 contained no such
figures.
FBI officials had no comment to
make last night on the announce
ment.
