D. {. Committee Refrains
From Sa|vaginq Statues

If any one is going to raid the
Capitals Statuary and monuments
for scrap metal, as President Roose-
velt suggested last week, it won't
be the District Salvage Committee
not for a while, at least.
Horace Walker, executive secre-
tary of the committee, said today
that his group was contemplating
no action along these lines at the
present time. He indicated his be-
lief that the Presidents idea about
dismantling cast-iron horsemen and
bronze heroes was probably inspired
in the hope that the citizenry gen.
orally would be impressed with the
severity Of. the metal shortage If
they saw their favorite shrines be-
ing knocked down.
Many of the statues, Mr.. Walker
pointed out, have been placed here
by patriotic societies and other or
ganizaitons. These groups, he said,
would undoubtedly release the mon
uments If they were genuinely
needed for war industry.
ut seems to u.s." Mr.. Walker said,
that If every home, business place
and factory Is thoroughly ransacked
for salvage metals and these are
turned in, there will be sufficient
material to last for a while. OF
course, We can't tell what it will
be like three months from today"
Mr.. Walker stressed the necessity
of getting the scrap together
quickly, before cold weather makes
it difficult to work in salvage yards.

Speculation in Turkey

B, the Associated Press.
ANKARA, Turkey, Aug de-
layeO A battle far more costly
and fierce than the siege of Sevas-
topol will break out when and If the
Germans invest the Russian Black
Sea naval base of Novorossisk. naval
observers predicted today as the
Germans stood within so miles of
that port.
These naval men said they be-
lieved Novorossisk would be harder
nut to crack than Sevastopol be-
cause the foothills of the Caucasus
reach to the Black Sea coast and
surround the stronghold.
The fate of the Russian Black Sea
fleet, said here to be composed of
IS submarines, 2 or 3 cruisers and s
to II destroyers, but no battleships,
was topic of much speculation in
Turkey.
It was agreed that Russia has
three choices If and when the Ger
mans seize all Soviet bases In the
Caucasus:
l. Sail into a Turkish Black Sea
port probably Samsun, for intern
ment.
2. Scuttle the feet at sea.
g. Make q break for 1t through
the Sea of Marmara and the Dar-
danelles.
A break by the fleet through the
Marmara Sea and the Dardanelles
was considered most unlikely here
because of treaty restrictions.
Should the feet decide to shoot It's
way. into the Mediterranean, 1t
would be forced also to pass through
the Aegean Sea dotted with numer-
Gus islands harboring German air
bases.
Some circles advanced the posi-
bility that the Russian fleet might
take a suicide dash into Varna,
Bulgaria, or some other Axis port on
the Black Sea and do as much dam
age as possible before being de-
stroyed.
