MORMUGAO, Portuguese India
Oct. 16-The 1900 American, Cana
dian and Latin American civilian
repatriates aboard the japanese ex-
change ship Teia Maru are in good
physical condition despite their q
months in Japanese occupied ter
ritory, American consular officials
said today after brief visit aboard
the vessel.
The Swedish liner Gripsholm
carrying Japanese for exchange, was
expected to arrive today but the
transfer may require a week.
The tiny tropical harbor, newly
dredged to permit the docking of the
two steamers, was almost deserted
yesterday when the Teia Maru-with
a British harbor pilot aboard-edged

mitted to board the ship immediately
after it docked They said the pas
sengers were in good health and
reasonably we'll clothed. Sixteen
patients were in the ships hospital
but most were elderly persons.
The consuls brought back with
them great deal of copy from news

Guiding Raymond P. Cronin, former
chief Of the Associated Press Manila
Bureau. and Russell Brines of the
same bureau. Pressroom facilities
were established jointly by Japanese
and American officials.
Headquarters have been set up in
buildings near the docks to take
care of the formalities of the ex-
change. The Americans will use

The British also have sent in sup

The Teia Maru carried only
small shipment of Red Gross mate

This Changing World

Of view those sorties yielded few
positive results, they kept UP the
seamen's morale. Now that they
are cooped up their spirits are
beginning to suffer.
Less fighting enthusiasm also
Is noticeable in the case of the
submarine crews. There have
been no mutinies, so far as is
known here, but the crews are
not venturesome, although their
fighting equipment has been
greatly improved in the last few
months. The crews are now
more eager to surrender when
cornered by Allied fighting craft.
While the captured officers
continue to be tightlipped, the
men are very communicative and
anxious to be friendly and OF
service to their captors.
Place Faith in Rommel.
OF course, it Is pointed out in
competent quarters here that it
would be unwise to draw a par
allel between the present indica-
tionS OF war Weariness in the
German fleet and what happened
in October >and November. 1913,
at Kiel, when the imperial fleet
mutinied. No such thing has oc-
Cured as yet and there is only
a very vague chance that it will.
Although the threads of the
German resistance are getting
thinner every day, Nazi propa-
ganda, assisted by the uncondi-
tional surrender policy of the
American and British govern
ments, has been able to convince
its people that they must choose
between fighting to the last and
complete destruction of the
Reich, And for the time being
they seem to prefer the former.
Hitler and his generals know
that the determination to con-
tinue the fight will weaken unless
spectacular victories are scored
again.
AT this moment it is believed
that the German general staff is
placing its hopes in Marshal
Rommel, Germany's most popu-
lar and spectacular officer, who
IN turn trusts to weather condi-
tons and the shrewdness of his
colleagues on the eastern front to
receive sufficient forces to over
Whelm the Allied armies in
Southern Italy.
From all available indications
1t appears that Rommel will at
tempt a real counterofensiye
after the Allies have reached the
Rome area.

Wave of Assosinutions
Sweeps North France
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MADRID, Oct. 16-A wave of
terrorism and political assassina-
tions, which has disturbed Southern
France for weeks, has now spread
to the part of Northern France oc-
cupied by the Germans, the French
Royalist newspaper Action Fran
caise said today.
La Carrone of Toulouse reported
at the same time that guerrillas op-
Grating in the upper Savoy depart
ment Of France on Wednesday had
killed one of their own leaders,
confirming earlier border reports
that the guerrillas were "purging"

that If it concerned a question Of
pants, it would be good for a Sen
ate debate, while trousers called for
closed session.
In the discussion that the Sen
ators have provoked, however. a
distinction has been overlooked
which involves much more than
the difference between shorts and
trousers. The question of whether
Senators, especially Senator Lodge,
were wrong to criticize Russia, Is
something quite different from the
question whether Russia is wrong in
not entering the war against Japan.
Can Take Criticism.
Some Americans, including the
President, underrate the capacity OF
Russia and England to take criti-
clsm. Those two nations are not
| neurotic adolescents. They have
been around long time and are as
able to take it as to dish it out. II
the United States were weak, help
less and fighting for life, we might
do we'll to consider every word we
uttered about our allies. But TO be
perfectly blunt about it, beating
Hitler means much more to England
and Russia than it does to us.
Let's have the whole story of the
1--WE inquiring Senators in an open
session of the Senate. Then let's
have the answers from the admins
tratlon, from England and from
Russia. Then let's print the whole
thing for Americans to ponder.
What has happened, instead, is
that the excellent story of the Sem
ators has come to the people only
IN disconnected pieces.
No more moral disapprobation at.
taches to Senator Lodges sugges-
ton about Siberian bases than to
Russias repeated suggestions about
a second front. Quite obviously.
Russia will do what is best for her
about Siberia, just as England and
America will do what is best for
them about a second front.
Reacted Against Hitler.
BY not attacking Russia, Jspan
made possible the defeat of Hitler
on the eastern front. The Russians.
as well as the Japanese. had
learned two things by virtue Of some
preliminary short-of- fighting
on the Siberian frontier in 1899 and
1910. First, that the Russian forces
were qua.itatively superior to the
japanese, and second, that the Jap
anese could not risk a winter CAM
palgn in Siberia The latter fact
enabled Stain 10 move great ST.
berlan forces to Stalingrad In the
early winter of 1912, to defeat TIE
Germans there and thus to turn the
whole course of the war.
Russia's Far Eastern diplomacy
is probably based upon a few ex-
tremely simple assumptions. Unless,
after the defeat Of Japan, the
United States or Great Britain wsnts
| to take over Manchukuo and Korea.
Russia may be invited to take them.
whether Russia ultimately fight,
Japan or not. These territories can
hardly be assigned to Japan unless
we want another war in a few years.
And China is hardly stable enough
to take them over. So. Russia
stands to gain in any event.
Unless Americans are to lose their
perspective entirely, they must be
brought to the realization that
Great Britain and Russia are pri-
marily concerned with protecting
their own interests. To recognize
this and to give some thought to
our own interests is not to lose their
friendship. On the contrary, it will
probably gain us their respect.

SHIPYARDS FACE
 HOUSING PROBLEM
Transportation for Work. CTS Brought in From Other Areas Headache

Washington, April 8--(UPl-War Manpower Commission ofiicials said today that they were attacking the manpower problem of Shipyards which maritime officials warn will affect seriously the construction of tankers, aircraft carriers. troop transports and escort vessels.
 Dr, William Haber, director of the WING program planning and re- view bureau, Is on the Pacific coast where the manpower problem is most serious, The problem, accord- ing to ofiioials here, is not so much one of obtaining new workers, but of keeping down the rate of turn- over and of finding homes and pro. viding transportation and other community facilities for workers brought in from other areas.
 The Maritime Commission re. ported last night that the high rate of turnover during the first l94S quarter left Q deficit of 10000 work CTS in the shiphuilding industry. Latest figures show that the turn over rate on Q national basis Is ll.2 per cent a month. and that only two per cent of the men involved in the turnover are those entering the armed forces.
 WING officials referred to a Mari- time Commission analysis of man. power which showed that total ex- pansion needs for the first three months this year was lS2,799 men while in the same period 262,6l7 workers were procured. or double the number asked for by the ship- yards. However. the turnover off, set this good record and left the estimated 10000 deficit.
 Rear Admiral Howard L. Vickery vice chairman of the Maritime Com mission. said the situation was so critical that 1t is imperative to re- verse the trend if completion on time of the scheduled l8OOO,O0O- ton program is to be assured.
 The monthly turnover rate is greatest on the west where 1t was reported to be l48 per cent. The Atlantic coast rate was Fl per cent while the Gulf average was l0.S per

Many Of the common and orSll- nary sources of food supply arc not available, but there is stili plenty loft Co provide Q sustaining diet for the pct dog or cat.
 Tho Society states that undoObt. edlx the abolition of canned dog food has affected the American dog owner more than anything thus Tar, but many pet owners arc substitut.

It Was Buggestsd that owners feeding the dry foods mix them with water nr miIk at least one-half before feeding 50 that all of the liquid will be absorbed and the food not fed ln a mushy condition. Probably the greatest help in coaxlng dog to cat this type of food is to add scrapings of frying drippings, lard, and other forms of animal fats-heating them . little to bring out the odor. These additions make dry foods more palatable as well as increase their food value.
 Meat ratIoning has affected the dogs diet just as 1t has that of it's owner, but it seems quite possible Shat the dog may still be given one or two meals of meet week. Most people do not eat two pounds of meat weekly, so that scraps or any surplus from this amount could be given Co the dog. However, if neces. Bary, pets can be maintained on meatlcss diets.
