Choice Between Cargo

Seen Facing u. 5.
Senators to Study Steel
Supply Available for
Exponsion of Fleet
BY the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated Press.
The possibility that a project
ed So, SOC, 900 900 naval expansion
program may force war produc-
tien officials in charge of the al
location Of steel to choose be-
tween warships and merchant
vessels was forecast In congress
sional circles today.
With speedy Senate passage ex-
pected for House-approved meas
ure authorizing a 1900, ,OO0-ton en-
largement of the fighting fleet,
Chairman Truman said the Senate
Defense Investigating Committee
soon would open an inquiry into
steel production to determine If
there was going to be a sufficient
supply to meet all of the needs Of
the war program.
At the same time, Senator Brew
ster, Republican, of Maine, a COM
mittee member, said that construc-
ton Of the 500 combatant vessels
contemplated in the new Navy plans
was almost certain to bring about
a critical situation unless steel pro-
duction facilities were expanded
rapidly.
"The big question" he told re-
porters, ''ts where we are going to
get the steel for all OF these ships.
They may have to decide in many
instances which they want to build
first the warshinS or the carpo
vessels"
While the Navy would be author
lied to construct many Of 1000
projected new subchasers, torpedo
boats and patrol craft of wood,
Senators pointed out that q tre-
mendous amount of steel would be
required TO rthe new aircraft car
riers, cruisers and destroyers to bs
built under the program.

Courage Needed TO Build
Peace, King George Says
By IL, Associated Press.

py tEt hSSVtihtCd TiSocs
NEW YORK, June 20.-King
George II of Greece declared last
night that the sacrifices made by
his country in this war will not
have been IN vain 'if, as we rebuild
our cities, we start also with the
same courage to rebuild our instru-
ments for creating and maintaining
peace"
In a speech at a dinner sponsored
by the Council on Foreign Relations,
the King said:
Let us start afresh on the ruins
of our past failures. Perhaps we
shall find that with little more
perseverance,, a little more sense OF
mutual accommodation, little surer
acceptance of the ideals that your
President Wilson expressed 20 years
ago, the roads then blazed can serve
to lead us to the goal we missed"
Earlier, when he addressed the
Overseas Press Club, King George
praised the accuracy and zeal" with
which American correspondents are
telling the story Of the present war.

More Than 10000 Sec
Night Of Thrills at
Griffith Stadium
Miss Doris Mae Rook
Presides os Queen at
Masonic, OES Benefit

1t may not have been the biggist
show on earth, but it kept more than
10000 people entertained through
the long hours of a hot "summerish"
night.
1t was the Might of Thrills" held
at Griffith Stadium last night for the
benefit of the Masonic and Eastern
Star Home.
There was variety-a pageant
queen and her court, clowns, soldiers
of the 176th Infantry, Sharkey, the
educated seal, and more.
There were contrasts, too, men of
the 176th, in drab khaki, paraded
along with the uniformed Masonic
and Eastern Star groups filling the
stadium with all the colors of the
rainbow. In the parade was also
the contrast between the young men
of the present war and the older
men of the First World War in the
Guard of Honor of the District
American Legion-men with gray
ing hair, but still erect in their mil
itary bearing.
Queen Is Thrilled.
Queen of the 1912 Night of
Thrills" was Miss Doris Mae ROok
of Miriam Chapter. No. %, OES,
who mounted a red throne in the
center of the field to receive her
crown from Brig. Gen. Albert L.
Cox, grand marshal Of the eve
ming. AS she received a trophy
from Mrs. Ruth B. Wertz, president
Of the Matrons and Patrons Asso-
citation for 1912, Miss Rook spoke
out spontaneously:
Thank you. It's gorgeous!"
Clark c. Griffith, who has given
the ball park to the fraternity for
the annual event for many years,
stepped forward to pledge his
loyal support" and to name her
Queen of the Washington Baseball
Club.
Mai. Frank Capra. Hollywood
movie director, was to have crowned
Miss Rook. but was unable to at
tend. He is now on duty with the
Special Service Bureau of the War
Department.
Four Ring Circus.
Once the pageant and exhibition
drills were over, four-ring circus,
announced by broadcasters from
local radio stations, got under way.
Sharkey was one of the favorites,
especially after his trainer asked
him what he thought of Hitler and
the Japs. Sharkey waddled to the
microphone and growled his disap-

Cuban Anti-Sub Base
Hailed as Allies Lose
Nine More Vessels
U.S.. Looks Toward Havana
Facilities Hopefully; Cargo
Carrier Toll Rises to 286
By TIE Associated Press.

| By TIE Associated Press.
The Nation looked hopefully
today toward Cuba as a new
anti-submarine sprin G board
after a dark day that brought
announcements of nine sinkingS
in Atlantic and adjacent waters.
The official toll of cargo car
riers in the Western Atlantic
since Pearl Harbor mounted to
! 286.
The te Department an
nounced an agreement had been
reached by which Cuba Offered IA
cilities to the United States War
Department for training aviation
personnel and for operations against
enemy undersea craft. Work on
these installations will begin at
once"
The latest U-boat victims were
three United States ships, two
Dutch, one Norwegian, one Cana
dian, one Dominican and one Pan
amanian.
In the case of the Dominican
schooner La Nueva Altagarcia, the
submarine captured the entire crew
after the sinking. The prisoners Ia
ter were turned over to the Domini-
can sloop Comercio, which was
forced to jettison its cargo and
warned to discontinue sailings
Six In U. S. Crew Perish.
Six men were lost from one Of
the American vessels, which went
to the bottom in 20 minutes after
two torpedo hits June 10. After
drifting in lifeboats IL hours, 38 Of
the crew reached port.
The second United States ship
was shelled until she sank, 81 sur
vivors reported. Eight crewmen
from the third United States made
port.
Survivors of the Panamanian ship
said the craft was sunk by a raider
$50 big it looked like the Queen
Mary" Five of so persons aboard
were missing.
Two German submarines torpe-
doed the 1,400-ton Dutch freighter
Flora off the Colombian coast with
a reported toll of one dead and
SO saved.
Survivors of the Norwegian Lessen
and the Canadian Wellandoc were

Caribbean June 10. reports from
Yucatan disclosed. OF the n pas
sengers and 10 crewmen aboard the

Raj Pilots to Use Base.
The New Havana training center
will be used by Royal Air Force
pilots, the announcement here said.
No details were made public as to
the nature and location of the facili-
ties to be used against ,the Axis
undersea raiders.
"In offering these facilities the
Cuban government, an ally and CO.
belligerent which was among the
first of the American republics to
delcare war on the Axis, has taken
most important step in collaborating
in the joint war effort" the an
nouncement stated. %" Work on
the installations will begin at once"
The agreement was signed by Jose
Manuel Cortina, Cuban Minister of
State, and Spruille Braden, United
States Ambassador to Cuba.

and, using the cloth to screen the
blaze from sea, we sent Morse Code
Signals" the ensign said. soon one
Of our destroyers was edging cau-
tiously into the bay and launching
. power boat.
Give Natives Wrecked Planes.
Trying to destroy our planes was
q tough job. We machine gunned
our planes trying to ignite the fuel
tanks, but they were dry" the en-
sign said. Finally we stripped the
radio, other gear, and smashed in
struments with rocks. We took the
breach mechanisms out Of our ma
chine guns and carried them OF,
and finally with all our remaining
ammunition, shot up the planes.
I'VE were satisfied that the jap
anese could find nothing in them
of value, and we freely gave the
wrecks to the natives, who were
oyerjoyed. The metal in the planes
would be saved, every scrap, and
used for knives, hooks, spearheads
and other purposes. 1t was a
treasure trove for them and we
knew the tides would soon wreck
anything they left"
The airmen had quite time
getting through the heavy surf to
the destroyer but finally made it.
1t. Ewoldt dropped his airplane
Is miles away and was not picked
up until days later by Australian
flyers who we're covering those
Islands in daily reconnaissance
patrols.
1t. A. j. Quigley and his gunner,
whose dive bombing plane was
damaged by Japanese anti-aircraft
fire on May 7, landed on Rossel Is
land that afternoon. The natives,
having been visited by score of
American and Australian airmen
only a month earlier, we're extremely
hospitable to these two men.
1t. Quigley's radio report that he
was alighting on Rossel closed with
the words:
Treated rs Guests.
Were going. to do some beach,
combing for few days"
Instead Of sleeping amid the mos
quitoes on the beach he was made
the guest Of Tepi, the house boy
of a planter named Osborne who
had been the only white man living
on the island. Osborne had fled
ahead Of the war but had left orders
that his house be used by airmen if
they alighted there. Tepi had clean
white sheets on the beds, cool drinks
and heartily meals for 1t. Quigley
and his gunner when they were
brought to Osborne's house by other
natives. Again the Australians
came to the rescue in their patrol
planes, and we learned later that
"Quig" was safe in Australia.
There have been so many wonder
full stories of rescues of airmen
downed in these waters that fani-
lies and friends of our flyers who
are reported missing in action out
there should never give up hope
for their safety. At the moment,
the war is in a stage where in
evitably there is the greatest con-
fusion in reports. Men who may be
safe enough on some of the thou
sands Of islands that dot these seas
are not always rescued as promptly
as the pilots of whom have known.
In any case rest assured:
The Navy is trying to find its
men. 1t never lets a man 60 if
there is chance to save him"
